2019 revenue was $164,770,000 compared to $170,710,000 in 2018. 2019 revenue decreased by $1,323,000, in comparison to 
2018, after the benefit of amortization of the unfavourable contract liability is removed. 

2019  operating  loss  was  $1,124,000  compared  to  operating  income  of  $26,917,000  in  2018.  Operating  loss  improved  by 
$2,101,000  in  comparison  to  2018,  after  the  benefit  of  amortization  of  unfavourable  contracts  liability  and  onerous  contract 
provisions, net contract modification, and the net claims impact have been removed. This was mainly due to improvement in 
operational  performance  and  consolidation  of  costs.  2019  operating  results  were  negatively  impacted  by  the  lower  deliveries 
caused by 737 MAX grounding and labour disruptions at the Delta facility. 

2019 cash flows from operating activities was $10,911,000 compared to utilization of $16,029,000 in 2018. 2019 cash flows from 
operating activities improved by $12,508,000, relative to 2018, after the net cash settlement of $14,431,000 (USD$10,810,000) 
from the agreement with Hitco Carbon Composites Inc., SGL Carbon, SGL, and SGL Carbon SE (the “SGL Parties”) and a customer 
has been removed. 

On January 25, 2019, the Company entered into a net claim settlement agreement with HITCO Carbon Composites, Inc., SGL 
Carbon, LLC, and SGL Carbon SE (the “SGL parties”) and a customer, which provided the Company a settlement in satisfaction 
of existing and potential claims, causes of action, disputes and other business matters related to the acquisition from the SGL 
parties. The net claim settlement resulted in a gain of $19,759,000. 

During the second quarter of 2019, the Company received all required customer approvals for the 737 MAX spoiler program; 
subsequently, on July 5, 2019 the Company successfully shipped the first shipset. 

On  September  25,  2019  the  Company  reached  a  new  labour  agreement  with  the  International  Association  of  Machinists  and 
Aerospace Workers (Lodge 250) (the “Union”) at its Delta, British Columbia facility. The six year labour agreement was ratified 
by the Union and will expire on March 31, 2025 bringing the company long term stability. 

On November 15, 2019 the Company amended its loan agreement with a Canadian Chartered Bank to extend the maturity date 
of the existing operating credit facility to June 30, 2021, which is supported by a major and material customer of the Company 
by way of a guarantee. 

On November 15, 2019, the Company entered into a standby credit facility agreement (“2019 Panta Loan”) with Panta Canada 
B.V which amended and restated the existing non-revolving term long agreement (“2018 Panta Loan”), as well as securing an 
additional $4,546,000 (USD$3,500,000).

Reporting Standards (“IFRS”), refer to page 9.  
Net book value per share is not a recognized term under IFRS, refer to page 14.

Avcorp’s recurring contracted revenue base remains strong as customers continue to place orders within existing long-term supply 
agreements. 2019 production revenues have decreased by $1,323,000 from 2018, exclusive of the $4,617,000 amortization of 
the unfavourable contract liability into revenue in 2018. 

The primary factors underlying the year on year change in revenues was the wind-down of certain loss-making contracts acquired 
in the Hitco acquisition in 2017 and 2018; offset by revenues arising from contract awards, primarily in the Delta facility, and 
2019 was impacted by the 737 MAX grounding and labour disruptions. 

The  Hitco  acquisition,  which  required  significant  turn-around  expenditures  and  was  severely  burdened  with  operational 
inefficiencies  and  extensive  legacy  product  warranty  obligations,  reduced  Earnings  Before  Interest,  Taxes,  Depreciation  & 
Amortization (“EBITDA”) for the Group which continued into 2017 & 2018.  In 2019 the company agreed a net claim settlement 
of $19,759,000 resolving legacy product warranty issues arising out of the Hitco acquisition. 

The  2017  $53,773,000  operating  loss  contains  a  $9,058,000  amortization  of  an  unfavourable  contracts  liability  into  income; 
without which the operating loss was $62,831,000. Additional provisions for onerous contracts amounting to $13,603,000 during 
2017 caused operating results to deteriorate in 2017; certain of those contracts were wound down in 2018. On a comparative 
basis  the  2018  $26,917,000  operating  income  contains  a  $4,617,000  amortization  of  an  unfavourable  contracts  liability,  a 
$9,115,000 amortization of onerous contracts provision, a $41,470,000 net contract modification gain and a $5,421,000 net claim 
position;  without  which  the  operating  loss  was  $22,864,000.    The  2019  $1,124,000  Operating  Loss  contains  $1,665,000 
amortization of onerous contract and $17,974,000 net claim settlement gain; without which the operating loss was $20,763,000. 

Capital  expenditures  during  the  three-year  period  presented  have  been  limited  to  upgrading  manufacturing  equipment  and 
capabilities, in particular for new program introductions, as well as information technology assets. 

Bank  indebtedness  and  term  debt  increased  by  $20,936,000  in  2019  over  2018  largely  due  to  the  transition  to  IFRS  16  and 
recognition of lease liabilities included in term debt. Cash flows from operating activities, before consideration of changes in non-
cash  working  capital,  generated  $2,631,000  cash  during  the  year  ended  December  31,  2019  as  compared  to  a  $11,632,000 
decrease of cash during the year ended December 31, 2018. Cash flows from operating activities were most significantly impacted 
as a result of the SGL settlement providing USD$10,810,000 of cash and continued consolidation of costs and improvements in 
operational effectiveness.

For the quarter ended December 31, 2019, the Avcorp Group recorded losses from operations totalling $8,114,000 (December 
31, 2018: $9,833,000 loss). Current quarter operating loss benefited from the amortization into income of the onerous 
contracts provision in the amount of $155,000, offset by the write-off of fair value of investment in AVS-SYS of $649,000 
(December 31, 2018: $2,161,000 amortization of unfavourable liability and onerous contract liability). Fourth quarter 2019 
operating loss improved by $4,374,000, in comparison to the same quarter in 2018, after the exclusion of the above mentioned 
items due to the consolidation of costs and improved operating effectiveness. 

2019 and 2018 Results Overview 

During the year ended December 31, 2019 Avcorp Group revenues totalled $164,770,000 compared with $170,710,000 for the 
previous year. 

The Company operates within “general terms agreements” with its customers. These agreements are typically for five years or 
longer. The contracts provide for long lead-time orders; the civil aerospace business is also slightly seasonal as some aircraft 
manufacturers reduce or suspend production in December and for a period of time during the summer months. 

Manufacturing of composite parts occurs in Avcorp Group’s Gardena facility. 2019 revenues arising from the assignment by 
customers of commercial aerospace contracts to Avcorp Industries Inc. have generated $31,256,000 in revenue (December 31, 
2018:  $35,947,000).  These  contracts,  whose  production  occurs  in  the  Gardena  facility,  support  customer  production  of 
commercial  aircraft.  The  planned  wind-down  of  certain  loss  making  production  commercial  contracts  assigned  from  the  Hitco 
acquisition  have  reduced  revenues  for  the  current  year  relative  to  2018.    The  Gardena  facility  defence  aerospace  contracts 
generated  $34,960,000  of  revenue  during  the  year  ended  December  31,  2019  for  ACF  (December  31,  2018:  $26,643,000). 
Further manufacturing focus on meeting defence contract demand has increased this market segment revenue in the current 
year relative to 2018. 

The  Burlington  facility  increased  delivery  of  composite  panels  in  2019  in  supply  to  original  equipment  manufacturer  (OEM) 
production demand, and spares and after market demand; a $479,000 revenue increase in 2019 over 2018. Composite aircraft 
repair revenues out of Comtek were $182,000 lower in the current year in comparison to 2018; it is anticipated that new market 
penetration and a backup of regional airline repairs will augment the 2020 revenue base. Non-panel OEM composite components 
generated  revenue  during  the  2019  were  $242,000  greater  than  the  previous  year.  Higher  administrative  costs  during  2019 
though have decreased the Burlington facilities operating income in 2019 by $132,000. 

Delta facility revenues, for all programs generated by production contracts, have decreased by $5,490,000 during the current 
year relative to the year ended December 31, 2018. On a market segment basis, Delta revenues from the production and delivery 
of business and commercial jet programs has decreased by approximately $8,206,000 in 2019 relative to 2018 primarily due to 
737 MAX grounding, labour disruptions and customer scheduling delays; while defence programs’ production has increased by 
$2,716,000 from both existing and new defence production programs.

annual report 2019 

Avcorp’s Delta location continues to actively pursue production contracts on aerospace programs throughout North America, Asia, 
and Europe both in the commercial and defence aerospace sectors. These production contracts consist of complex metal bond 
and  multi-material  structural  assemblies  that  complement  Avcorp’s  capability  as  a  strategic  integrated  supplier  within  the 
aerospace industry. 

For  the  year  ended  December  31,  2019,  the  Avcorp  Group  recorded  losses  from  operations  totaling  $1,124,000  from 
$164,770,000  revenue,  as  compared  to  $26,917,000  operating  income  from  $170,710,000  revenue  for  the  previous  year.  It 
should  be  noted  that  2019  operating  loss  benefited  by  $1,665,000  income  from  amortization  of  onerous  contracts  provision 
(December 31, 2018: $13,732,000 amortization of unfavourable contract liability and onerous contract liability). In addition, 2019 
benefitted from the net settlement gain of $17,974,000 in comparison to 2018 which benefitted from the net contract modification 
for an unfavourable contract in the amount of $41,470,000 and a net claim settlement loss of $5,421,000. Continued consolidation 
of operating costs have resulted in reduced current year operating losses of $2,101,000 in comparison to 2018 after these benefits 
have been removed. 

An unfavourable contract liability accruing for certain customer contracts, for which unavoidable costs were expected to exceed 
the  corresponding  revenue  earned,  amounted  to  $100,582,000  upon  the December  18,  2015  Hitco  acquisition;  of which  $Nil 
remains  unamortized  due  to  a  contract  modification  to  production  of  a  certain  customer  contract  in  2018.  The  unfavourable 
contract liability was amortized into income on a units-of-production basis over the expected life of the contract and as costs 
were incurred. The amount of unfavourable contract liability amortized into income during the year ended December 31, 2019 on 
a  units-of-production  basis  was  $Nil  (December  31,  2018:  $4,617,000).  The  unamortized  unfavourable  contract  liability  was 
accrued in US dollars and therefore the unamortized balance varied as the estimated provision was adjusted for foreign currency 
fluctuations. 

Operational  loss  at  the  Gardena  facility  amounted  to  $10,274,000  for  the  year  ended  December  31,  2019  as  compared  to 
$4,948,000 operating loss for the year ended December 31, 2018. Gardena 2019 operating loss benefited by $Nil income from 
amortization of an unfavourable contract liability into income (2018: $4,617,000). In addition, Gardena’s 2019 loss included a 
net claim settlement loss of $1,785,000. Removing these items, this is an improvement of $1,076,000. 

Over the course of 2016 and through 2018 certain of the smaller loss-making contracts at the Gardena facility were wound down 
eliminating the associated losses; as well, production for the most significant loss-making contract was wound down during the 
third quarter 2018. Contract revisions are in place which will help improve Avcorp’s financial performance. 

Although  recent  customer  contract  awards  in  Canadian  operations  will  continue  to  increase  facility  utilization,  there  remains 
unutilized plant capacity within the Company’s Delta, British Columbia facility, and also within the Gardena, California facility due 
to  the  transition  out  of  certain  loss-making  production  contracts.  The  Company  has  expensed  $7,004,000  of  overhead  costs 
during the year as compared to $6,469,000 for December 31, 2018 in respect of unutilized plant capacity. The amount of overhead 
costs expensed, as a result of unutilized capacity, will fluctuate from quarter to quarter as production in support of deliveries 
varies. Revenue growth in these facilities would benefit Company profitability via a contribution to the recovery of fixed overhead 
expenditures. Avcorp is engaged with aerospace OEM’s as well as industry tier 1 suppliers in North America, Asia and Europe in 
collaborative production initiatives that support the Company’s composite manufacturing capabilities, further leveraging existing 
production capacity and investments. 

During the year ended December 31, 2019, cash flows from operating activities, excluding the impact of changes in non-cash 
working capital, were $2,631,000 of cash as compared with utilization of $11,632,000 of cash during the year ended December 
31, 2018. The company received a net cash settlement of USD$10,810,000 from the agreement with Hitco Carbon Composites 
Inc., SGL Carbon, SGL, and SGL Carbon SE (the “SGL Parties”) and a customer. 

Changes in non-cash working capital during the current year provided $8,280,000 as compared to the previous year during which 
non-cash working capital utilized $4,397,000. 

On December 18, 2015, in conjunction with the acquisition of Hitco, the Company assumed a customer advance for pre-funded 
product deliveries. The customer advance is re-paid as the Company delivers to the customer. In the event that cancellation, 
termination, or assignment of the statement of work occurs earlier than December 31, 2019, the customer shall have the right 
to recover from the Company within 120 days of such an event the unamortized portion of the cash advance; such event occurred 
during the third quarter 2018. The customer advance is subject to an access and security agreement along with a general security 
agreement entered into with the Company’s bank and a customer. 

The customer advance was recorded at its fair value on December 18, 2015 and amortized into revenue. The Company amortized 
into revenue $Nil of the customer advance during the year ended December 31, 2019 (December 31, 2018: $2,660,000). The 
remaining unamortized customer advance has been recorded at its face value to reflect the amount due. The face value of the 
unamortized portion of the customer advance as at December 31, 2019 is USD$4,643,000 (December 31, 2018: USD$4,643,000). 

As  at  December  31,  2019,  the  Company  had  $4,316,000  cash  on  hand  (December  31,  2018:  $2,051,000)  and  had  utilized 
$84,661,000  of  its  operating  line  of credit (December  31,  2018:  $85,840,000).  The  Company  has a working capital  deficit of 
$71,561,000 as at December 31, 2019 which has decreased from the December 31, 2018 $74,374,000 deficit. Working capital 
surplus/deficit  is  defined  as  the  difference  between  current  assets  and  current  liabilities.  However,  the  Company’s  accounts 
receivable, contract assets, and inventories net of accounts payable, amount to a $18,542,000 surplus as at December 31, 2019 
(December  31,  2018:  $22,000,000  surplus).  The  Company’s  accumulated  deficit  as  at  December  31,  2019  is  $142,194,000 
(December 31, 2018: $132,878,000).

1.  ACF revenue includes amortization of a portion of the unfavourable contract liability of $Nil in 2019 (2018: $4,617,000). 

The Company operates within “general terms agreements” with its customers. These agreements are typically for five years or 
longer. The contracts provide for long lead-time orders; the civil aerospace business is also slightly seasonal as some aircraft 
manufacturers reduce or suspend production in December and for a period of time during the summer months. 

Delta facility revenues 2019 totalled $78,099,000 (December 31, 2018: $83,589,000). 

Delta facility commercial aircraft programs production revenues have decreased by $5,490,000 of which established commercial 
aircraft production contract revenues have contributed $8,206,000 of this revenue decrease in 2019 relative to 2018. This was 
partially offset with production for defence programs which increased by $2,716,000 in 2019 relative to 2018. 

Avcorp’s Delta location continues to actively pursue production contracts on aerospace programs throughout North America, Asia, 
and Europe both in the commercial and defence aerospace sectors. These production contracts consist of complex metal bond 
and  multi-material  structural  assemblies  that  complement  Avcorp’s  capability  as  a  strategic  integrated  supplier  within  the 
aerospace industry. Production and deliveries for recent contract awards commenced during 2018 and have continued to grow in 
2019 for the Delta facility. 

Burlington facility revenues for 2019 totalled $20,455,000 (December 31, 2018: $19,916,000). 

The Burlington facility had an increase in the delivery of composite floor panels and racks in supply to OEM production lines during 
the current year of 1% relative to 2018. Composite floor panel revenues arising from aftermarket or OEM spares composite floor 
panel  sales  decreased  by  $69,000  relative  to  2018.  Sales  for  other  composite  component  deliveries  to  OEMs  increased  by 
$337,000 in 2019 relative to 2018. Composite aircraft repair revenues out of Comtek decreased by 4% in comparison to 2018. 

Gardena facility revenues for 2019 totalled $66,216,000 (December 31, 2018: $67,205,000). 

The  Gardena  facility  provides  a  unique  aerostructures  composite  composite  capability  to  the  Avcorp  Group’s  existing  metal 
fabrication  and  integrated  assembly  business  through  broadening  the  product  range  and  strengthening  Avcorp’s  composite 
capabilities. Advanced composite fabrication capabilities enhance Avcorp Group’s ability to participate in large aerospace assembly 
programs which combine mixed material components.  

Year ended December 31, 2019 revenues arising from the assignment by customers of commercial aerospace contracts to Avcorp 
Industries Inc. have generated $31,256,000 in production revenue (December 31, 2018: $35,947,000). Wind-down of certain 
loss-making  contracts  totalling $9,053,000  was  partially  offset  by  an  increase  in  deliveries  for  an  ongoing  customer  program 
amounting to $5,336,000 from this facility in 2019 relative to 2018. These contracts support customer production of commercial 
aircraft with  manufacturing  of  the composite  parts  occurring  in  Avcorp Group’s  Gardena  facility.  The  Gardena  facility  defence 
aerospace contracts generated $34,960,000 of production revenue during the year ended December 31, 2019 for ACF (December 
31, 2018: $26,643,000) as facility resources are further operationalized to meet customer delivery requirements. 

Deliveries and quality performance as at December 31, 2019 for Avcorp manufacturing operations were at customer required 
levels. The manufacturing operations have achieved, and continue to maintain, top quality and delivery ratings for the majority 
of their programs.

1.  Includes Boeing program partner revenue consisting of industry tier-one suppliers to Boeing. 

The Avcorp Delta BC facility is the single source supplier for the F-35 CV-OBW assembly under contract with BAE Systems and 
delivers directly to Lockheed Martin. The Outboard Wing is the foldable portion of the wing on the carrier version of the F-35 
aircraft which allows for handling and storage of the aircraft on the aircraft-carrier’s deck and hangers, while keeping its long-
range and  low-landing-speed  flight characteristics. The CV-OBW  is regarded  as  one  of  the  more  complex assemblies  that  the 
Canadian aerospace industry contributes to the F-35 program. Production demand for the F-35 CV-OBW increased by $2,392,000 
in 2019 relative to 2018. Production contracts have been secured through to end of 2022, with discussions underway with the 
customer to secure constant production through to the first quarter of 2025. The Company announced that further to the contract 
award from Lockheed Martin announced on October 15, 2015 for the expanded scope on the F-35 CV-OBW, Avcorp has received 
a firm order for the production phase, referred to as Low Rate Initial Production (“LRIP”) eleven; and are in discussions with the 
customer for production under LRIP twelve through fourteen. The delivery of the first shipset to Lockheed Martin’s Final Assembly 
and Check Out facility in Fort Worth, Texas, USA was in August 2016, with subsequent confirmed orders extending out to 2022, 
and discussions underway with the customer to secure constant production through to the first quarter of 2025. 

Avcorp’s  Gardena  California  facility  provides  content  for  all  three  models  of  the  F-35  fighter  aircraft.  Fabricated  components 
include: wing skins, upper and lower, nacelles, access panels, and a strap component that serves as a structural backbone to the 
aircraft. Avcorp fabricates these complex structures through a combination of both automated robotic fiber placement and hand 
laid  graphic  fabric  methods.  Avcorp  is  under  a  multi-year  contract  with  Lockheed  Martin  Corporation,  who  release  order 
quantity and schedule requirements that coincide with their fiscal year. The current period of performance extends through mid-
2020. Follow on contract value is anticipated, assuming acceptable quality and delivery performance. Total revenues for this long-
term defence program totalled $33,469,000 for the year ended December 31, 2019 (December 31, 2018: $22,466,000). 

Shipments  of  large  complex  metal  assemblies  out  of  the Delta  facility to Boeing Commercial Airplane  Group  (“Boeing”), 
primarily for the 737 commercial jet program, decreased by 17% in  2019 relative to 2018, primarily as a result of Boeing 737 
MAX  grounding  and  decreased  customer  demand.  Concurrently,  deliveries  of  fabricated  parts  and  components  to  Boeing 
decreased  by  $168,000  as  customer  demand  for  discrete  and  lower  complexity  assembled  structures  has  decreased  slightly. 
These products were manufactured at Avcorp’s Delta facility. During 2016, Avcorp delivered its first significant quantity of shipsets 
of composite fabricated aerostructures parts for Boeing programs from its acquired Gardena production facility. 2019 revenues 
for these composite parts totalled $Nil (December 31, 2018: $8,783,000), a reduction from 2018 as the planned wind-down of 
certain Hitco acquired customer contracts occurred. Total production deliveries generated for the Company from various Boeing 
Commercial  aircraft  programs  amounted  to  $41,930,000  for  the  year  ended  December  31,  2019  (December  31,  2018: 
$57,066,000). The Company also delivers components to Boeing Defence, Space & Security (“Boeing DSS”) for the Chinook 
CH47 helicopter and KC135 aircraft. During the year ended December 31, 2019 the Company generated $6,849,000 of revenues 
in supply to Boeing DSS, a slight increase in revenues recorded for the same period in 2018 (December 31, 2018: $6,804,000). 

Production deliveries for Bombardier Aerospace (“Bombardier”) programs decreased by 11% during the current year relative 
to  the  year  ended  December  31,  2018.  Shipments  of  large  assemblies  for  the  CL605  business  jet  program  decreased  by 
$1,693,000 during the current year as demand for these products decreased relative to 2018; while the Company experienced a 
$182,000 decrease in its deliveries of composite panels and related products to Bombardier. Avcorp Group’s primary source of 
revenues from Bombardier in 2020 will continue to be from components for the CL605 and CL850 business jets, composite floor 
panels for the CRJ and Q400 aircraft programs, as well as a sustained rate of production of composite floor panels for Bombardier’s 
Global 5000/6000 and Global 7000/8000 programs.

annual report 2019 

Avcorp’s deliveries to Subaru Corporation (“Subaru”) of large complex composite structural components which are integrated 
into the center wing box in support of the Boeing 787 commercial jet program totalled $28,306,000 for the current year (December 
31, 2018: $22,970,000). This is a significant commercial production contract being manufactured in the Gardena facility. This 
long-term agreement represents an important relationship with a long-standing industry tier one supplier. 

Composite  aircraft  structure  repair  revenues  out  of  Comtek  decreased  by  4%  relative  to  revenues  in  the  previous  year;  it  is 
anticipated that new market penetration and a backup of regional airline repairs will augment the 2020 revenue base. The Group 
also supplies Canadian aircraft retro-fit programs out of its Delta facility, and large composite structures in support of various US 
defence programs out of its Gardena facility, whose revenues decreased relative to 2018. These Other revenues are of significant 
importance  to  the  Group’s  operations  as  they  generated  $13,585,000  in  revenue  during  the  year  ended  December  31,  2019 
(December 31, 2018: $14,341,000). 

Defence  program  revenues  for  Avcorp  2019  totalled  $62,333,000  (2018:  $51,296,000);  37.8%  of  total  production  sales 
(December  31,  2018:  30.0%).  Commercial  program  sales  continue  to  provide  the  greater  portion  of  the  Company’s  sales 
(December 31,2019: 62.2%; December 31,2018: 70.0%) amounting to $102,437,000 for 2019 and $119,414,000 for 2018. The 
Group continues to move forward with its revenue diversification between commercial and defence aerospace programs. Included 
in total revenues for the Company is the amortization of the unfavourable contract liability of $Nil in 2019 (2018: $4,617,000). 

Gross Profit 

Gross  profit  (revenue  less  cost  of  sales)  for  the  year  ended  December  31,  2019  was  positive  2.3%  of  revenue  compared  to 
positive 8.8% of revenue for the year ended December 31, 2018. 

Included in the calculation of gross profit is the amortization of the unfavourable contract liability of $Nil into revenue in 2019 
(December 31, 2018: $4,617,000) as well as a $1,665,000 amortization into income of an onerous contracts provision (December 
31, 2018: $9,115,000 provision). Excluding the amortization of the unfavourable contract liability and onerous contracts provision, 
the gross margin increased by $898,000 in 2019 relative to 2018. This was due to consolidation of costs, increased utilization of 
idle capacity in the Delta facility as new programs ramp up in production, as well as strong delivery performance of composite 
floor panels from the Burlington facility. 

Key turn around initiatives implemented in 2019 improved gross margin on production contracts manufactured out of the Gardena 
facility. The Gardena facility gross margin for the current year was negative $1,650,000 (December 31, 2018: $3,156,000 positive 
gross margin). The gross margin was negative $1,836,000 exclusive of $186,000 amortization of onerous contract provision.  The 
2018 Gardena gross margin was negative $10,139,000 exclusive of $4,617,000 amortization of the unfavourable contract liability 
and $8,678,000 amortization of onerous contract provision. The Gardena facility gross margin improved by $8,303,000 in 2019 
relative to 2018 exclusive of the positive impact of amortization of the unfavourable contract liability into revenue and amortization 
of the onerous contract provision.  

Many corrective actions have been implemented. Turnaround activities focused on cost reduction initiatives as well as operational 
process flow improvements are contributing to the financial improvement in 2019 compared to 2018. Over the course of 2016 
and through 2018 certain of the smaller loss-making contracts at the Gardena facility were wound down eliminating the associated 
losses; as well, production for the most significant loss-making contract was wound down during the third quarter 2018. Contract 
revisions are in place which will help improve Avcorp’s financial performance. 

The Delta facility gross margin for the current year was positive $1,893,000 (December 31, 2018: $8,302,000 positive gross 
margin). The 2019 Delta gross margin was $414,000 exclusive of $1,479,000 amortization of onerous contract provision.  The 
2018 Delta gross margin was $7,865,000 exclusive of $437,000 amortization of onerous contracts provision.  2019 Delta facility 
gross margin decreased by $7,451,000 from the 2018 gross margin exclusive of the positive impact of amortization of the onerous 
contracts provision into revenue in both years. The Delta facility continued to incur costs on the startup of new programs, delivery 
delays  due  to  the  737  MAX  grounding,  and  incurred  costs  due  to  labour  disruption  during  the  year.  In  addition,  certain  new 
program startups have been delayed due to continued customer engineering changes and delayed approval. 

Burlington  production  contracts  produced  a  positive  gross  margin  for  the  year  ended  December  31,  2019  of  $3,545,000  as 
compared to a positive gross margin of $3,499,000 for 2018. 

Although  recent  customer  contract  awards  in  Canadian  operations  will  continue  to  increase  facility  utilization,  there  remains 
unutilized plant capacity within the Company’s Delta, British Columbia facility, and also within the Gardena, California facility due 
to the recent transition out of certain loss-making production contracts. The Company has expensed $7,004,000 of overhead 
costs during the year as compared to $6,469,000 for December 31, 2018 in respect of unutilized plant capacity. 

Administration and General Expenses 

As a percentage of revenue, administration and general expenses decreased to 13.0% for the year ended December 31, 2019 
from 13.7% for the year ended December 31, 2018. In absolute terms, administration and general costs decreased by $1,999,000 
during the current year relative to the previous year, mainly due to collection of amounts written off in previous years and savings 
in various expenses during the year. 

Foreign Exchange Gain or Loss 

Avcorp  Group  recorded  a  $843,000  foreign  exchange  gain  during  the  year  ended  December  31,  2019  (December  31,  2018: 
$770,000 loss) as a result of holding US dollar-denominated cash, receivables, payables and debt.

Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation & Amortization 

Avcorp  Group  presents  earnings  before  interest,  taxes,  depreciation  and  amortization  (“EBITDA”)  to  assist  the  Company’s 
stakeholders with their assessment of its financial performance. EBITDA is a financial measure not recognized as a term under 
IFRS.  However,  the  Company’s  management  believes  that  the  Company’s  stakeholders  consider  this  metric  to  be  useful 
information to assist them in evaluating profitability. 

EBITDA was positive $10,813,000 for the year ended December 31, 2019 compared to EBITDA of positive $35,338,000 for the 
year ended December 31, 2018. The company recorded a net settlement gain of $17,974,000 in 2019 (2018 $5,421,000 loss). 
In addition, the calculation of EBITDA includes the amortization of the unfavorable contract liability of $Nil in 2019 (December 
31,  2018:  $4,617,000)  and  amortization  of  an  onerous  contracts  provision  of  $1,665,000  in  2019  (December  31,  2018: 
$9,115,000). On January 1, 2019, the Company adopted IFRS 16 using the modified retrospective method which has improved 
2019 EBITDA by $3,995,000. Operating lease expense and payments, on transition, have been capitalised as right of use assets 
and recorded with a corresponding lease liability which incur depreciation and interest expense are removed in the calculation of 
EBITDA.  Lastly,  2018  had  a  $41,470,000  contract  modification  gain.  EBITDA  was  negative  $12,821,000  for  the  year  ended 
December 31, 2019, after adjusting for the above mentioned items (2018: $14,443,000 loss). Turnaround activities focused on 
cost reduction initiatives as well as operational process flow improvements contributed to the financial improvement. 

The Delta facility continued to see delays in start-up of new product introductions due to engineering changes, labour disruptions 
upon negotiations of the union agreement, and customer driven delivery schedule changes due to the 737 MAX grounding. 

At the Gardena facility, as legacy operational deficiencies were identified, operational improvements were made, thereby allowing 
the Gardena operations to achieve customer required output levels. 

Over the course of 2017 and through 2018 certain of the smaller loss-making contracts at the Gardena facility were wound down 
eliminating the associated losses; as well, production for the most significant loss-making contract was wound down during the 
third quarter 2018. Contract revisions are in place which will help improve Avcorp’s financial performance.

Finance Costs 

Total interest and financing charges on both short- and long-term debt for the year ended December 31, 2019 were $8,924,000, 
which is net of $17,000 interest income as compared to $5,774,000 expense, net of $39,000 interest income for the year ended 
December 31, 2018. Interest expenditures have increased during the current year relative to the previous year due to interest 
on lease liabilities identified on transition to IFRS16. 

Income Taxes 

Avcorp Group has not incurred a tax expense during the year ended December 31, 2019 (December 31, 2018: $Nil) nor recorded 
a tax benefit as it is not more likely than not that the benefit would be recognized. 

Income or Loss 

Loss for the year ended December 31, 2019 was $9,316,000 compared to an income of $20,373,000 for the year ended December 
31, 2018. The December 31, 2019 net loss contains a $1,665,000 amortization of the onerous contracts provision, as well as a 
$17,974,000 net claim settlement; without which the net loss for 2019 was $28,955,000. 

On a comparative basis, the 2018 $20,373,000 net income contains a $13,732,000 amoritization of the unfavourable contracts 
liability and onerous contracts provision, as well as $41,470,000 contract modification and $5,421,000 net claim position; without 
which the net loss for 2018 was $29,408,000. 

The reduction in net loss for 2019 relative to 2018 after excluding the impact of the amortization of the unfavourable contracts 
liability  and  onerous  contract  provisions,  net  contract  modification,  and  net  claim  settlement  and  positions  was  due  to  the 
continued consolidation of costs, improvements in internal processes over inventory management, strong delivery performance 
to Lockheed Martin from the Gardena facility and composite floor panels from the Burlington facility. This was offset by the costs 
incurred on ramp up of new programs with continued delays in engineering changes and customer approvals at the Delta facility.

Administration  and  general  costs  decreased  by $1,999,000  during  the  current  year relative  to  the  previous  year.  Turnaround 
activities focused on cost reduction initiatives as well as operational process flow improvements are contributing to the financial 
improvement in comparison to 2018. 

Liquidity and Capital Resources 

On  November  15,  2019,  the  Company  entered  into  a  loan  agreement  to  expand  its  operating  credit  facility  with  a  Canadian 
Chartered Bank. This loan agreement amends, restates and replaces the loan agreements entered into on September 27, 2012 
and subsequently on May 26, 2017. The loan agreement extends the maturity to June 30, 2021 

Maximum  availability  under  the  Loan  agreement  cannot  exceed  USD  $68,000,000  less  USD  $2,300,000  until  June  30,  2021. 
Drawdowns under the USD$45,000,000 borrowing capacity are supported by a major and material customer of the Company (the 
“Guarantor”) by way of a guarantee (the “Guarantee”). On November 15, 2019, Panta Holdings B.V., the holding company of 
Panta Canada B.V. which is Avcorp’s majority shareholder, entered into a guarantee agreement with the Guarantor. Pursuant to 
the guarantee agreement, Panta Holdings B.V. provided guarantee to the Guarantor in the maximum payment of USD$10,000,000 
if the bank draws on the Guarantee in whole or in part.

Pursuant to the terms of the amending loan agreement, the Company is required to meet certain financial covenants beginning 
in Q1 2020. In the event that the Company fails to meet the covenants, Panta Holdings B.V. and Panta Canada B.V. shall be 
entitled  to  make  cash  injections  for  a  fiscal  quarter  by  way  of  loan  or  equity  investment  in  Avcorp.  Such  injections  will  be 
considered  a  positive  addition  to  the  calculation  of  the  financial  metrics  for  the  purposes  of  determining  compliance  with  the 
covenants. In addition, the Company will have a cure period measured cumulatively for the failed quarter and the subsequent 
quarter.  There  is  uncertainty  as  to  the  ability  of  the  company  to  meet  its  financial  covenants  without  the  additional  financial 
support from Panta Holdings B.V. and Panta Canada B.V.

The threshold of the financial covenants for the first and second fiscal quarters for the 2020 fiscal year were amended in 
favor of the Company. 

On November 15, 2019, the Company entered into a standby credit facility agreement (“2019 Panta Loan”) with Panta Canada 
B.V which amended and restated the 2018 Panta Loan, as well as securing an additional $4,546,000 (USD$3,500,000). As at 
December  31,  2019,  the  company  had  drawn  $325,000  (USD  $250,000)  on  this  2019  Panta  Loan.  The  Company  drew  the 
remaining available amount in January 2020 of $4,238,000 (USD $3,250,000).  

On  March  2,  2020,  the  Company  entered  into  an  amendment  to  the  standby  credit  facility  (“2019  Panta  Loan”)  securing  an 
additional and drawing $2,598,000 (USD$2,000,000). As at the date of this report the company is able to draw up to an additional 
$Nil on the standby credit facility. 

The Company ended the year with bank operating line utilization of $84,661,000 offset by $4,316,000 cash compared to utilization 
of  $85,840,000  with  $2,051,000  cash  on  hand  as  at  December  31,  2018.  Based  on  net  collateral  provided  to  its  bank,  the 
Company is able to draw up to an additional $335,000 (USD$258,000) on its operating line of credit as at December 31, 2019 
(December 31, 2018: $1,059,000 (USD$776,000)). As at the date of this report the Company is able to draw up to an additional 
$21,000 (USD$16,000) on its operating line of credit. 

Pursuant to the Hitco acquisition, the Company assumed a customer advance for pre-funding of product deliveries. The customer 
advance is re-paid as the Company delivers to its customer ordered products for a specific program. In the event that cancellation, 
termination, or assignment of the statement of work occurs earlier than December 31, 2018, the customer shall have the right 
to  recover  from  the  Company,  within  120  days  of  such  an  event,  the  unamortized  portion  of  the  cash  advance;  such  event 
occurred  during  the  third  quarter  2018.  The  customer  advance  is  subject  to  an  access  and  security  agreement  along  with  a 
general security agreement entered into with the Company’s bank and the customer. The face value of the unamortized portion 
of  the  cash  advance  as  at  December  31,  2019  is  $6,030,000  (USD$4,643,000)  (December  31,  2018:  $6,334,000 
(USD$4,643,000)).

annual report 2019 

During  the  year ended  December  31,  2019,  the  Company  had  a  net  loss  of  $9,316,000  (December  31,  2018:  net  income  of 
$20,373,000),  had  operating  cash  flows  of  $10,911,000  (December  31,  2018:  negative  $16,029,000)  and  a  shareholders’ 
deficiency of $43,475,000 as of December 31, 2019 (December 31, 2018: $36,144,000 deficiency) and an accumulated deficit of 
$142,194,000 (December 31, 2018: $132,878,000). Management assesses the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern 
at each reporting date, using quantitative and qualitative information available. Material uncertainties have been identified which 
may cast significant doubt upon the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. This assessment, by its nature, relies on 
estimates of future cash flows and other future events, whose subsequent changes would materially impact the validity of such 
an assessment.  

The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to achieve improvements in operating results 
in the future through additional revenue from defense related contracts, successfully negotiate extended terms with its creditors 
including  the  past  due  date  of  its  customer  advance  and  other  debt  related  items,  continue  to  raise  adequate  financing,  and 
mitigate  the  adverse  impact  of  the  COVID-19  virus.  In  assessing  whether  the  going  concern  assumption  was  appropriate, 
management considered all relevant information available about the future, which was at least, but not limited to, the 12-month 
period from the date of this report.  

The Company, in conjunction with its Board of Directors continue to carry out various operational strategies which include: 

• 

• 

• 

• 

Contract renegotiations with existing customers, actively working to secure additional purchase orders and pursuing new 
customer contracts have provided an improved basis for operations in the future.  

The  company  reached  a  new  labour  agreement  with  the  International  Association  of  Machinists  and  Aerospace  Workers 
(Lodge 250)(the “Union”) at its Delta, British Columbia facility. The new six-year labour agreement was ratified by the Union 
and will expire on March 31, 2025 bringing the company long term stability. 

Close collaboration with customers has resulted in both financial and operational support for continued operations. 

The COVID-19 virus impact to the aviation industry and the Company continues to evolve. The Company has implemented 
strict precautions to mitigate the risk to its employees’ health and safety through restrictions on in-person meetings, rotating 
shifts and social distancing guidelines. In addition, the company will continue to assess the risk to the supply chain and its 
customers and will implement steps to mitigate this risk.   

The  assessment  of  the  Company’s  ability  to  execute  its  strategy  of  reducing  operating  costs,  funding  future  working  capital 
requirements, and ability to mitigate the risk of the COVID-19 virus involves significant judgement. Estimates and assumptions 
regarding future operating costs, revenue and profitability levels and general business and customer conditions are continually 
evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to 
be reasonable under the circumstances. 

Management is actively working to secure extension to its banking agreements, will continue to work with an existing common 
shareholder, and will seek additional financing as necessary. The Company cannot provide assurance that, if it needs to raise 
additional  funds,  such  funds  will  be  available  on  favourable  terms,  or  at  all.  If  the  Company  cannot  raise  adequate  funds  on 
acceptable terms, its business could be materially harmed. 

Cash Flows from Operating Activities 

Cash  flows  from  operating  activities,  before consideration  of  changes  in non-cash working  capital,  generated  $2,631,000 
during the year ended December 31, 2019 as compared to a utilization of $11,632,000 cash during the year ended December 
31,  2018.  The  company  received  a  net  cash  settlement  of  USD$10,810,000  from  the  agreement  with  Hitco  Carbon 
Composites Inc., SGL Carbon, SGL, and SGL Carbon SE (the “SGL Parties”) and a customer in 2019. 

Non-cash  operating  assets  and  liabilities  generated  $8,280,000  of  cash  during  the  current  year,  compared  to  utilizing 
$4,397,000 of cash during the previous year; primarily due to customer providing shorter payment terms as well as the 
timing of collection of large customer invoices. 

Avcorp Group continues to closely monitor accounts receivable and accounts payables, and to work with its customers and 
suppliers in order to ensure cash is collected on a timely basis and payment terms that can meet operational needs. 

Cash Flows from Investing Activities 

During  the  year  ended  December  31,  2019,  the  Avcorp  Group  purchased  equipment  totalling  $904,000  compared  with 
$1,429,000 during the year ended December 31, 2018. Avcorp Group continues to minimize its capital expenditures in order 
to conserve cash, with only operation critical expenditures being made. 

During 2019 and 2018, the Company commenced the new program introduction process in support of the recently awarded 
production contracts. The start-up of new production contracts requires significant investments in hard and soft tooling. Such 
tooling investments amounted to $4,116,000 for the year ended December 31, 2019 (December 31, 2018: $6,410,000). 

Cash Flows from Financing Activities 

Avcorp Group finances working capital through a combination of bank debt and equity financings. 

Cash flows from financing activities utilized $3,610,000 of cash during the current year compared with providing $21,406,000 
of cash in 2018. 

The Company’s operating line was $84,661,000 drawn as at December 31, 2019 (December 31, 2018: $85,840,000). The 
Company drew $20,844,000 in cash during the year (December 31, 2018: $17,961,000 was drawn) and repaid $18,010,000 
in cash during the year (December 31, 2018: $Nil was repaid).

annual report 2019 

Repayment of term debt during the current year amounted to $2,591,000 (December 31, 2018: $294,000); which was used 
to  fund equipment  and  development  costs and  tooling.  This  includes  the  payments  made  to  lease  liabilities  identified  on 
transition to IFRS 16. 

Proceeds from term debt during the current year amounted to $1,196,000 (December 31, 2018: $6,601,000). 

Payment of interest during the year amounted to $5,049,000 (December 31, 2018: $2,862,000); with the increase in 2019 
over 2018 primarily attributable to interest on lease liabilities identified on transition to IFRS16. 

On December 31, 2019, the ratio of the Company's current assets to current liabilities was 0.47:1 (December 31, 2018: 
0.48:1).

Accounting standards 

The following is a brief summary of the new standard issued but not yet effective: 

Amendments to IAS 1 and IAS 8: Definition of Material 

In  October  2018,  the  International  Accounting  Standards  Board  (“IASB”)  issued  amendments  to  IAS  1  Presentation  of 
Financial Statements and IAS 8 Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors to align the definition of 
‘material’ across the standards and to clarify certain aspects of the definition. 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 standard is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2020, with 
early application permitted. The amendments to the definition of material is not expected to have a significant impact on the 
Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Amendments to IAS 1: Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-Current 

In  January  2020,  the  IASB  issued  Classification  of  Liabilities  as  Current  or  Non-current  (Amendments  to  IAS  1).  The 
amendments  aim  to  promote  consistency  in  applying  the  requirements  by  helping  companies  determine  whether,  in  the 
statement of financial position, debt and other liabilities with an uncertain settlement date should be classified as current 
(due or potentially due to be settled within one year) or non-current. The amendments include clarifying the classification 
requirements for debt a company might settle by converting it into equity. The amendments are effective for annual reporting 
periods beginning on or after January 1, 2022, with earlier application permitted. 

The following is a brief summary of the new standard adopted: 

Adoption of IFRS 16 - Leases 

IFRS 16 supersedes IAS 17 Leases, IFRIC 4 Determining whether an Arrangement contains a Lease, SIC-15 Operating 
Leases-Incentives and SIC-27 Evaluating the Substance of Transactions Involving the Legal Form of a Lease. The standard 
sets out the principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases and requires lessees to 
account for all leases under a single on-balance sheet model. 

The Company adopted IFRS 16 using the modified retrospective method of adoption with the date of initial application of 
January 1, 2019. Under this method, the standard is applied retrospectively with the cumulative effect of initially applying 
the  standard  recognized  at  the  date  of  initial  application.  The  Company  elected  to  use  the  transition  practical  expedient 
allowing the standard to be applied only to contracts that were previously identified as leases applying IAS 17 and IFRIC 4 
at the date of initial application. As part of the initial application of IFRS 16, the Company applied the available practical 
expedients wherein it: 

• 

• 

• 

• 

• 

Used a single discount rate to a portfolio of leases with reasonably similar characteristics 

Applied the short-term leases exemptions to leases with lease term that ends within 12 months at the date of initial 
application (“short-term leases”) 

Applied the recognition exemptions to lease contracts for which the underlying asset is of low value (“low-value assets”) 

Used hindsight in determining the lease term where the contract contains options to extend or terminate the lease 

Excluded the initial costs from the measurement of the right-of-use asset at the date of initial application 

The Company did not change the initial carrying amounts of recognized assets and liabilities at the date of initial application 
for  leases  previously  classified  as  finance  leases  under  IAS  17.  The  Company  recognized  right-of-use  assets  and  lease 
liabilities  for  those  leases  previously  classified  as  operating  leases,  except  for  short-term  leases  and  leases  of  low-value 
assets. The right-of-use assets were recognized based on the amount equal to the lease liabilities, adjusted for any related 
prepaid and accrued lease payments previously recognized. Lease liabilities were recognized based on the present value of 
the remaining lease payments, discounted using the incremental borrowing rate at the date of initial application. 

Based on the foregoing, as at January 1, 2019: 

• 

• 

• 

• 

Right-of-use assets of $13,755,000 were recognized (included in Property, Plant and Equipment). This includes the lease 
assets recognized previously under finance leases of $666,000 that were classified in machinery and equipment and 
computer hardware and software. 

Additional lease liabilities of $12,765,000 (included in Term Debt) were recognized. 

Prepayments  of  $324,000  related  to  previous  operating  leases  were  derecognized  and  included  in  the  right-of-use 
assets.

Set out below are the new accounting policies of the Company upon adoption of IFRS 16, which have been applied from the 
date of initial application: 

Right-of-use assets 

The Company recognizes right-of-use assets at the commencement date of the lease. Right-of-use assets are measured at 
cost, less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, and adjusted for any re-measurement of lease liabilities. 
The  cost  of  right-of-use  assets  includes  the  amount  of  lease  liabilities  recognized,  initial  direct  costs  incurred,  and  lease 
payments made at or before the commencement date less any lease incentives received. Unless the Company is reasonably 
certain  to  obtain  ownership  of  the  leased  asset  at  the  end  of  the  lease  term,  the  recognized  right-of-use  assets  are 
depreciated on a straight-line basis over the shorter of its estimated useful life and the lease term. Right-of-use assets are 
subject to impairment. 

Lease liabilities 

At the commencement date of the lease, the Company recognizes lease liabilities measured at the present value of lease 
payments  to  be  made  over  the  lease  term.  The  lease  payments  include  fixed  payments  (including  in-substance  fixed 
payments) less any lease incentives receivable, variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, and amounts 
expected to be paid under residual value guarantees. The lease payments also include the exercise price of a purchase option 
reasonably certain to  be exercised  by  the  Company  and  payments  of  penalties  for  terminating  a  lease,  if the  lease  term 
reflects the Company exercising the option to terminate. The variable lease payments that do not depend on an index or a 
rate are recognized as expense in the period on which the event or condition that triggers the payment occurs. 
In  calculating  the  present  value  of  lease  payments,  the  Company  uses  the  incremental  borrowing  rate  at  the  lease 
commencement date if the interest rate implicit in the lease is not readily determinable. The incremental borrowing rate is 
the rate of interest that the Company would have to pay to borrow over a similar term, and with a similar security, the funds 
necessary to obtain an asset of a similar value to the lease asset in a similar economic environment. After the commencement 
date, the amount of lease liabilities is increased to reflect the accretion of interest and reduced for the lease payments made. 
In addition, the carrying amount of lease liabilities is re-measured if there is a modification, a change in the lease term, a 
change in the in-substance fixed lease payments or a change in the assessment to purchase the underlying asset. 

Short-term leases and leases of low-value assets 

The  Company  applies  the  short-term  lease  recognition  exemption  to  its  short-term  leases  that  have  a  lease  term  of  12 
months or less from the commencement date and do not contain a purchase option. It also applies the lease of low-value 
assets recognition exemption to leases of assets that are considered of low value. Lease payments on short-term leases and 
leases of low-value assets are recognized as expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term. 

Significant judgement in determining the lease term of contracts with renewal options 

The Company determines the lease term as the non-cancellable term of the lease, together with any periods covered by an 
option to extend the lease if it is reasonably certain to be exercised, or any periods covered by an option to terminate the 
lease, if it is reasonably certain not to be exercised. The Company considers all relevant factors that create an economic 
incentive for it to exercise the renewal. After the commencement date, the Company reassesses the lease term if there is a 
significant event or change in circumstances that is within its control and affects its ability to exercise (or not to exercise) 
the option to renew. 

Operations Overview 

Delivery and Quality Performance 

Deliveries and quality performance as at December 31, 2019 for Canadian and US manufacturing operations were at customer 
required levels. The manufacturing operations have achieved, and continue to maintain, top quality and delivery ratings for the 
majority of their programs.

Order Backlog 

Avcorp Group operates within “general terms agreements” with its customers. These agreements are typically for five years or 
longer. 

The Company’s agreements with Boeing Commercial Airplane Group extend from January 2018 to December 2022; additional 
production contracts entered into during 2015 and 2016 extend to 2027. 

Agreements  with  Boeing  Defence,  Space  and  Security  extend  from  2013  into  2022  with  established  minimum  base  delivery 
quantity requirements. 

The Bombardier and Subaru agreements extend for the life of the individual aircraft programs. 

Agreements with Lockheed Martin extend into 2022. 

Agreements with BAE Systems (Operations) Limited extend into 2022 and continue to generate additional sales order backlog. 

The  Company  defines  order  backlog  as  the  value  of  purchase  orders  it  expects  to  receive  from  these  agreements  based  on 
manufacturers’  projections  and current  degrees  of exclusivity. Order  backlog  is  a  financial measure  not  recognized  as  a term 
under  IFRS.  However,  the  Avcorp’s  management  believes  that  the  Company’s  stakeholders  consider  this  metric  to  be  useful 
information to assist them in evaluating profitability. The order backlog, as at December 31, 2019, is $664 million in consideration 
of attaining full award values, compared to $839 million as at December 31, 2018. The changes in order backlog are as follows: 

• 

• 

• 

$164 million decrease in order backlog resulting from revenues recorded during the year ended December 31, 2019; 

$24  million  increase  in  order  backlog  due  to  increases  in  the  production  rates,  contract  renewals  for  various  existing 
programs, and contract awards; 

$35 million decrease in order backlog resulting from change in the value of the Canadian dollar relative to the US dollar for 
the Company’s US dollar denominated sales. Refer to comments on currency risk. 

Supply Chain 

Supplier quality and delivery performance continued to meet targeted levels during the year; the Company continues to monitor 
supplier performance in all aspects of quality, delivery and price. The Company works closely with its supply chain to ensure a 
stable, uninterrupted delivery of compliant products and is making changes in product sourcing processes where necessary. The 
capacity and delivery performance of a limited number of critical vendors continues to be closely monitored to mitigate risks to 
assembly start dates. Risk mitigation plans have been implemented. 

The  securing  of  additional  long-term  contracts  with  key  suppliers  continues.  Critical  supplier  cost  reduction  initiatives  are  in 
process and continuing into the future. 

Working Capital Utilization 

Total current assets less total current liabilities were in a deficit position of $71,561,000 at December 31, 2019 and a $74,374,000 
deficit  position  at  December  31,  2018.  However,  the  Company’s  accounts  receivable,  contract  assets,  and  inventories  net  of 
accounts payable, amount to a $18,542,000 surplus as at December 31, 2019 (December 31, 2018: $22,000,000). 

Financial Resources 

Avcorp Group has invested in its chosen strategies of organic growth, capabilities acquisition, lean manufacturing and strategic 
outsourcing.  Management  believes  that  significant  investments  necessary  to  better  position  Avcorp  Group  in  the  aerospace 
industry  have  and  continue  to  be  made,  and  that  those  investments  along  with  the  expected  continued  financial  support  of 
shareholders and lenders position the Company to be able to face and mitigate risks associated with the business. 

Non-Financial Resources 

The  Company’s  non-financial  resources  relate  to  the  Company’s  human  resources,  operating  equipment,  business  systems, 
technologies, processes and qualifications. The Company does not have any extended enterprise relationships such as special 
purpose entities or joint ventures. 

Human Resources 

The  number  of  employees  at  December  31,  2019  was  740  (December  31,  2018:  674).  The  increase  in  the  number  of 
employees during 2019 occurred primarily as a result of ramp up of certain production programs in the Delta facility. 

Equipment, Systems, Technologies and Processes 

Manufacturing  equipment  and  information  technology  assets  have  been  consistently  upgraded  and  further  deployed, 
increasing reliability and utility.

Risk Assessment 

The principal risks that Avcorp Group faces are summarized as follows: 

• 

• 

• 

• 

• 

• 

• 

• 

• 

additional financing is required to maintain and grow its business; 

impact of 737 MAX grounding on the aviation industry; 

adverse impact of the COVID-19 virus on the aviation industry, employees, supply chain and customers; 

no agreement on extension of customer contracts, or terminated customer programs are not replaced; 

increases  in  material  costs,  primarily  aluminum  plate,  composite  materials,  titanium,  sandwich  panels  and  assembly 
hardware, and subcontractor costs, without equivalent price protection in customer contracts; 

reduction in production rates of aircraft manufacturers and delays in program introduction; 

consolidation and globalization by competitors;  

potential failure to achieve cost-reduction objectives relative to changes in revenue levels; and 

increase in the value of the Canadian dollar, relative to the US dollar, has an adverse effect on the US dollar equivalent value 
of those Company procured goods and services which are denominated in Canadian dollars. 

The Company’s view is that with its strategic plan in place and the continued integration of composite design and manufacturing 
capabilities, the Company should be in a position to face and mitigate these risks. The COVID-19 virus impact to the aviation 
industry  and  the  Company  continues  to  evolve.  The  Company  has  implemented  strict  precautions  to  mitigate  the  risk  to  its 
employees’  health  and  safety  through  restrictions  on  in-person  meetings,  rotating  shifts  and  social  distancing  guidelines.  In 
addition, the company will continue to assess the risk to the supply chain and its customers and will implement steps to mitigate 
this risk.  However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be successful with all initiatives.  

Additional Financing 

Avcorp Group’s growth strategy requires continued access to capital. From time to time, the Company may require additional 
financing to enable it to:  

• 

• 

• 

• 

• 

• 

finance unanticipated working capital requirements; 

finance transitional operating losses incurred upon integration of acquired entities; 

finance new program development and introduction; 

develop or enhance existing services and capabilities; 

respond to competitive pressures; or 

finance business acquisitions. 

On November 15, 2019, the Company entered into a loan agreement to expand its operating credit facility with a Canadian 
Chartered Bank. This loan agreement amends, restates and replaces the loan agreements entered into on September 27, 
2012 and subsequently on May 26, 2017. The loan agreement extends the maturity to June 30, 2021.  

•  Maximum availability under the Loan agreement cannot exceed USD $68,000,000 less USD $2,300,000 until June 30, 
2021. Drawdowns under the USD$45,000,000 borrowing capacity are supported by a major and material customer of 
the Company (the “Guarantor”) by way of a guarantee (the “Guarantee”). On November 15, 2019, Panta Holdings B.V., 
the holding company of Panta Canada B.V. which is Avcorp’s majority shareholder, entered into a guarantee agreement 
with the Guarantor. Pursuant to the guarantee agreement, Panta Holdings B.V. provided guarantee to the Guarantor in 
the maximum payment of USD$10,000,000 if the bank draws on the Guarantee in whole or in part.

Pursuant to the terms of the amending loan agreement, the Company is required to meet certain financial covenants 
beginning in Q1 2020. In the event that the Company fails to meet the covenants, Panta Holdings B.V. and Panta Canada 
B.V. shall be entitled to make cash injections for a fiscal quarter by way of loan or equity investment in Avcorp. Such 
injections will be considered a positive addition to the calculation of the financial metrics for the purposes of determining 
compliance with the covenants. In addition, the Company will have a cure period measured cumulatively for the failed 
quarter and the subsequent quarter. There is uncertainty as to the ability of the company to meet its financial covenants 
without the additional financial support from Panta Holdings B.V. and Panta Canada B.V. 

On February 6, 2020, the Company entered into an amendment to its existing loan agreement with a Canadian Chartered 
Bank whereby the following amendments were made: 

• 

The threshold of the financial covenants for the first and second fiscal quarters for the 2020 fiscal year were amended 
in favor of the Company. 

On  November  15,  2019,  the  Company  entered  into  a  standby  credit  facility  agreement  (“2019  Panta  Loan”)  with  Panta 
Canada  B.V  which  amended  and  restated  the  2018  Panta  Loan,  as  well  as  securing  an  additional  $4,546,000 
(USD$3,500,000). As at December 31, 2019, the company had drawn $325,000 (USD $250,000) on this 2019 Panta Loan. 
The Company drew the remaining available amount in January 2020 of $4,238,000 (USD $3,250,000).  

On March 2, 2020, the Company entered into an amendment to the standby credit facility (“2019 Panta Loan”) securing an 
additional and drawing $2,598,000 (USD$2,000,000). As at the date of this report the company is able to draw up to an 
additional $Nil on the standby credit facility. 

The Company ended the year with bank operating line utilization of $84,661,000 offset by $4,316,000 cash compared to 
utilization of $85,840,000 with $2,051,000 cash on hand as at December 31, 2018. Based on net collateral provided to its 
bank, the Company is able to draw up to an additional $335,000 (USD$258,000) on its operating line of credit as at December 
31, 2019 (December 31, 2018: $1,059,000 (USD$776,000)). As at the date of this report the Company is able to draw up 
to an additional $21,000 (USD$16,000) on its operating line of credit. 

The Company cannot provide assurance that, if it needs to raise additional funds, such funds will be available on favourable 
terms, or at all. If the Company cannot raise adequate funds on acceptable terms, its business could be materially harmed. 

Customer Contracts 

The Company is exposed to the risk that existing customer fixed-term contracts are not renewed at expiration date. Avcorp 
Group  operates  within  “general  terms  agreements”  with  its  customers.  These  agreements  are  typically  for  five  years  or 
longer. The Company’s agreements with Boeing CA extend from current date, with various expiry timelines, through to the 
end  of  2028.  Agreements  with  Boeing  DSS  have  been  renewed  and  established  which  extend  from  2013  into  2022  with 
minimum base quantity requirements. It is the Company’s objective to successfully renew Boeing production contracts in 
advance of expiry dates. 

The Bombardier and Subaru agreements extend for the life of the individual aircraft programs. 

BAE and Lockheed Martin customer contracts extend into 2022. The Company is currently negotiating the extension of follow-
on contracts. 

The Company continues to face the financial risk that the wind-down in previous years of certain program contracts have 
not been replaced on a timely basis thereby causing the Company to continue to bear significant levels of expenses related 
to  under-utilized  operational  capacity.  The  Company has  restructured  its  business  development  strategy  in order to  best 
mitigate this risk and is now commencing to be awarded new customer production contracts. 

Procured Materials and Parts 

The  Company  is  engaging  suppliers  and  customers  to  properly  align  production  requirements  and  pricing,  ensuring 
uninterrupted delivery of compliant products with a cost structure closely matching product pricing. Changes in forecasts are 
closely monitored in order to promptly adjust procured materials and parts quantities with the objective of limiting unwanted 
inventory build-up. 

Aircraft Production Rates 

The following industry and program trends impact the Company: 

• 

• 

• 

• 

• 

• 

• 

Company  research  indicates  that  the  aerostructures  markets  for  commercial  aircraft  and  larger  business  jets  would 
continue to grow beyond 2020. 

Growth in air travel rates has and will further increase production rates on the Boeing 737 and Airbus A320 platforms 
in the coming years. 

Boeing 737 MAX grounding has resulted in reduced production rates for 2019 and 2020. 

Bombardier Challenger CL650 aircraft production requirements to remain substantially flat through 2020. 

The global market for defence aircraft has continued growth expected for 2020. 

The F-35 remains, on a global scale, one of the largest Defence Airplane programs for the foreseeable future. 

Offset  opportunities  created  by  Canadian  Government  procurement  within  military  aerospace  programs  such  as  the 
Boeing F-18 and Airbus C295 FWSAR could lead to additional revenue opportunities from this aerospace sector.

• 

The COVID-19 virus will adversely impact the aviation industry. 

Competitors 

The long-term trend continues towards more intense competition from larger entities having operations in Asia, Mexico and 
Europe, while original equipment manufacturers continue to increase the size and amount of outsourced components. It can 
be expected that consolidation on Tier 1 and Tier 2 levels will continue to take place. The Company continues to examine 
opportunities  for  mergers  or  acquisitions,  on  a  global  basis,  that  would  improve  competitiveness  and  acquire  vertical 
strengths or additional strategic capabilities. 

Cost Reductions 

Approximately 57% of Avcorp Group’s cost of sales is related to labour and overhead and 43% related to procurement of 
raw materials and finished parts. The Company’s wage rates are generally lower than its western European and north western 
United States competitors and higher than those in the south eastern United States, Asia, Eastern Europe and Mexico. On 
September 25, 2019, the company reached a new labour agreement with the International Association of Machinists and 
Aerospace Workers (Lodge 250) (the “Union”) at its Delta, British Columbia facility. The new six-year labour agreement was 
ratified by the Union and will expire on March 31, 2025. Subsequent to the Hitco acquisition the Company and the labour 
force, in Gardena, agreed to a four-month extension of the current collective agreement, which was to expire February 29, 
2016. On June 29, 2016 the labour force at the Gardena facility ratified a six-year collective agreement, adding language 
that allows for High Performance Work Teams and incentive bonus payments for accomplishing annual targets regarding 
operational and quality performance. 

The Company continues to focus on cost reductions for direct labour, material and overhead costs. These cost reductions will 
be  achieved  through  continuous  improvements  in  the  internal  and  external  parts  supply  chain  using  lean  manufacturing 
technology, through continued negotiation of long-term agreements with the majority of key suppliers, through increased 
efficiency of plant capacity augmented by technological improvements, and through continued focus on cost targets at all 
levels of the organization. All discretionary spending is reviewed and controlled by senior management, with expenditures 
focused on expediting new commercial program business growth and launching of long-term defence programs. However, 
fixed  overhead  costs  continue  to  have  an adverse  impact  on the Company’s  cost structure  during this period  of  reduced 
revenues. This will be mitigated by increased revenue and facility utilization. 

US Dollar Revenues 

Avcorp Group sells a significant proportion of its products in US dollars, partially from its Canadian operations and entirely within its 
United States operations, at prices which are often established well in advance of manufacture and shipment dates. As the value of 
the Canadian dollar decreases, the equivalent value of US dollar denominated revenues increases; conversely, the cost of US dollar 
denominated purchases will increase. The Company is continuing to structure new agreements with customers which mitigate the risk 
associated  with  currency  fluctuations.  It  should  be  noted  that  a  significant  portion  of  the  Company’s  purchases  of  raw  materials, 
supplier fabricated parts, as well as equipment purchases, are denominated in US dollars. 

Outlook 

Variability of the Canadian dollar relative to the US dollar continues to cause the value of the Company’s current order backlog to 
fluctuate. Also, the Company continues to work towards securing additional defence and commercial program production contracts in 
order to augment and diversify its backlog. The Company began delivering products under its defence contracts in 2009 and continues 
to negotiate long-term supply agreements. Both defence and commercial production contracts are being renewed, with select new 
customer agreements extending into 2028. The Company expects to finance investment in the start-up of new production programs 
primarily  by  milestone  payments  from  customers,  though  this  cannot  be  assured.  Avcorp  Group  may  require  financing  for  capital 
expenditures and start-up costs required for new programs. 

Boeing is the Company’s largest customer during 2019, followed by Lockheed Martin, Subaru, Bombardier, and BAE Systems. The 
Company forecasts its 2020 revenues to increase due to orders received for defence related program deliveries, and Delta production 
ramp-up for recently awarded contracts. 

The  Company  forecasts  its working  capital  financing  requirements  for 2020  to  be  met  by the  operating  line  of credit and working 
capital surplus (exclusive of bank indebtedness). Working capital financing has been supplemented, at times, by shareholder loans, 
however, further debt and equity financing may be required. 

On November 15, 2019, the Company entered into a loan agreement to expand its operating credit facility with a Canadian Chartered 
Bank. This loan agreement amends, restates and replaces the loan agreements entered into on September 27, 2012 and subsequently 
on May 26, 2017. The loan agreement extends the maturity to June 30, 2021.  

•  Maximum availability under the Loan agreement cannot exceed USD $68,000,000 less USD $2,300,000 until June 30, 2021. 
Drawdowns under the USD$45,000,000 borrowing capacity are supported by a major and material customer of the Company 
(the  “Guarantor”)  by  way  of  a  guarantee  (the  “Guarantee”).  On  November  15,  2019,  Panta  Holdings  B.V.,  the  holding 
company  of  Panta  Canada  B.V.  which  is  Avcorp’s  majority  shareholder,  entered  into  a  guarantee  agreement  with  the 
Guarantor. Pursuant to the guarantee agreement, Panta Holdings B.V. provided guarantee to the Guarantor in the maximum 
payment of USD$10,000,000 if the bank draws on the Guarantee in whole or in part.

Pursuant  to  the  terms  of  the  amending  loan  agreement,  the  Company  is  required  to  meet  certain  financial  covenants 
beginning in Q1 2020. In the event that the Company fails to meet the covenants, Panta Holdings B.V. and Panta Canada 
B.V.  shall  be  entitled  to  make  cash  injections  for  a  fiscal  quarter  by  way  of  loan  or  equity  investment  in  Avcorp.  Such 
injections will be considered a positive addition to the calculation of the financial metrics for the purposes of determining

The Company drew the remaining available amount in January 2020 of $4,238,000 (USD $3,250,000).  

On March 2, 2020, the Company entered into an amendment to the standby credit facility (“2019 Panta Loan”) securing an 
additional and drawing $2,598,000 (USD$2,000,000). As at the date of this report the company is able to draw up to an 
additional $Nil on the standby credit facility. 

The Company ended the year with bank operating line utilization of $84,661,000 offset by $4,316,000 cash compared to 
utilization of $85,840,000 with $2,051,000 cash on hand as at December 31, 2018. Based on net collateral provided to its 
bank, the Company is able to draw up to an additional $335,000 (USD$258,000) on its operating line of credit as at December

Fourth Quarter 

The following summarizes financial results for the fourth quarter 2019. 

Operating  loss  for  the  fourth  quarter  of  2019  was  $8,114,000  from  $38,309,000  in  revenues,  as  compared  to  operating  loss  of 
$9,833,000 from $39,280,000 in revenues for the quarter ended December 31, 2018. The Company expensed $2,072,000 of overhead 
costs during the fourth quarter 2019 (2018: $3,602,000) in respect of unutilized plant capacity. Provision amortization for onerous 
contracts accrued during the fourth quarter 2019 totalled $155,000 (December 31, 2018: $3,739,000 provision). The Company has 
provisioned for a claim asserted by a customer in the amount of $Nil in the fourth quarter of 2019 (2018: $7,640,000). 

Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgment 

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make estimates and judgments 
that affect the amounts which are reported in the consolidated financial statements during the reporting period. Estimates and other 
judgments are evaluated at each reporting date and are based on management’s experience and other factors, including expectations 
about future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. The critical estimates and judgements utilized in 
preparing the Company’s consolidated financial statements affect the assessment of net recoverable amounts, net realizable values 
and fair values, and the determination of functional currency of the Canadian operations of the group. Any changes in estimates and 
assumptions could have a material impact on the assets and liabilities at the date of the statement of financial position. The Company 
reviews its estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis and uses the most current information available and exercises careful 
judgement in making these estimates and assumptions. 

• 

• 

• 

• 

• 

• 

• 

Functional  currency:  The  functional  currency  for  the  Company  and  its  subsidiaries  is  the  currency  of  the  primary  economic 
environment  in  which  each  operates.  The  Company  has  determined  that  the  functional  currency  for  the  Company  and  all  its 
subsidiaries except for Avcorp US Holdings Inc. and ACF is the Canadian dollar. The functional currency for Avcorp US Holdings 
Inc. and ACF is the US dollar. The determination of functional currency may require certain judgements to determine the primary 
economic environment. The Company reconsiders the functional currency used when there is a change in events and conditions 
which determined the primary economic environment. 

Impairments: The recoverable amount of intangible assets, development costs and property, plant and equipment is based on 
estimates and assumptions regarding the expected market outlook and cash flows from each of the Company’s CGU. Assumptions, 
judgments and estimates about future values are complex and often subjective. They can be affected by a variety of factors, 
including external factors such as industry and economic trends, and internal factors such as changes in the Company’s business 
strategy or internal forecasts. Although the Company believes the assumptions, judgments and estimates made in the past have 
been reasonable and appropriate, different assumptions, judgments and estimates could materially affect the Company’s reported 
financial results. 

Going  concern  and  debt  classification:  Management  assesses  the  Company’s  ability  to  continue  as  a  going  concern  at  each 
reporting  date,  using  quantitative  and  qualitative  information  available.  Management  also  determines  the  appropriate 
classification of its debt arrangements based on terms of the various agreements based on the company’s financial condition. 
This assessment, by its nature, relies on estimates of future cash flows and other future events, whose subsequent changes would 
materially impact the validity of such an assessment. 

Capitalization of development costs: When capitalizing development costs the Company must assess the technical and commercial 
feasibility of the projects and estimate the useful lives of resulting products. Determining whether future economic benefits will 
flow  from  the  assets  and  therefore  the  estimates  and  assumptions  associated  with  these  calculations  are  instrumental  in  (i) 
deciding whether project costs can be capitalized, and (ii) accurately calculating the useful life of the projects for the Company. 

Unfavourable  contracts  liability:  At  the  acquisition  date  valued  the  unfavourable  contracts  liability  at  fair  value  using  certain 
assumptions that would arise in a market participant view. The Company estimates the expected shipsets or production when 
assessing  the  liability,  together  with  the  discounts  rate  and  period  of  performance  under  the  varying  contracts  and  service 
agreements. The cash flows are discounted over the period of performance using a discount rate commensurate with the risk 
associated with the liability. 

During 2018 production requirements associated with the unfavourable contract were redirected to another supplier, giving rise 
to  the  full  amortization  of  the  unfavourable contract  liability  and  the  onerous contract  provision  into  income.  In  addition,  the 
customer  advance  was  adjusted  to  its  face  value  through  income.  This  has  been  recorded  in  the  2018  Annual  Consolidated 
Statements  of  Income  (Loss)  and  Comprehensive  Income  (Loss)  as  a  contract  modification  in  the  amount  of  $41,470,000. 
Uncertainties exist as to ultimate outcome of a formal contract termination. While the Company believes that it has fulfilled all of 
its  obligations  under the contract,  it  is  possible  claims may  be  levied against  the  Company.  The  Company  has assessed  such 
possible claims as not probable. 

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost and net realizable value. The costs of inventory involve estimates in determining the 
allocation  of  fixed  and  variable  production  overhead.  These  estimates  involved  include  determination  of  normal  production 
capacity and nature of expenses to be allocated. Additionally, inventory is reviewed monthly to ensure the carrying value does 
not exceed net realizable value. If so, a write-down is recognized. The write-down may be reversed if the circumstances which 
caused it no longer exists.

On a periodic basis the Company reviews its plant capacity and estimates the portion of its under-utilized overhead expenditures. 
The Company has expensed $7,004,000 of overhead costs during the current year (December 31, 2018: $6,469,000) in respect 
of unutilized plant capacity. These amounts are included in the Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss) and Comprehensive 
Income (Loss) as costs of sales. 

The Company has entered into production contracts in the ordinary course of its business. The unavoidable cost of meeting the 
obligations  under  certain  of  these  contracts  exceeds  the  associated  expected  future  net  benefits;  consequently,  an  onerous 
contract provision has been recognized. The calculation of this provision involves the use of estimates including, but not limited 
to,  program  gross  margin,  and  the  effect  of  learning  curves  of  production  and  the  timing  of  achieving  certain  operational 
efficiencies. These actual results can vary significantly from these estimates with consequent variability in the amounts of the 
provision recorded. The onerous contract provision is calculated by taking the expected future costs that will be incurred under 
the contract and deducting any estimated revenues. The onerous contract provision is primarily due to a high cost structure and 
learning curves of production that cannot be recovered through current pricing of the associated contracts. The total onerous 
contract provision for the year ended December 31, 2019 is $251,000 (December 31, 2018: $1,930,000) 

•  While a formal claim has yet to be levied by the customer, the Company has provisioned for a claim asserted by a customer in 

the amount of $7,273,000 as at December 31, 2019 (December 31, 2018: $7,640,000). 

• 

• 

Right of use asset and lease liability: On January 1, 2019, the Company transitioned to IFRS 16 and recognized a right of use 
asset and lease liability. These values use judgement in determining lease terms such as extension option and discount rate used.  
In the case where incremental borrowing rate is used, the Company estimates the incremental borrowing rate based on the lease 
term, collateral assumptions, and the economic environment in which the lease is denominated. 

The company has provisioned USD $1,350,000 for a legal action due to certain employment practices at the Gardena facility. 
These practices were in place prior to acquisition. The company has corrected these practices going forward. 

Financial Instruments and Other Instruments 

Market Risk 

Market  risk  is  the  risk  that  changes  in  the  market  prices,  such  as  foreign  exchange  rates  and  interest  rates,  will  affect  the 
Company’s income or the value of its holdings of financial instruments. The Company’s policy is not to utilize derivative financial 
instruments for trading or speculative purposes. The Company may utilize derivative instruments in the management of its foreign 
currency and interest rate exposures. 

Currency Risk 

Currency  risk  arises  because  the  amount  of  the  local  currency  receivable  or  payable  for  transactions  denominated  in  foreign 
currencies  may  vary  due  to  changes  in  exchange  rate  (“transaction  exposures”)  and  because  the  non-Canadian  dollar 
denominated  financial  statements  of  the  Company’s  subsidiaries  may  vary  on  consolidation  into  the  reporting  currency  of 
Canadian dollars (“translation exposures”). 

The Company sells a significant proportion of its products in US dollars at prices which are often established well in advance of 
manufacture  and  shipment  dates.  In  addition,  the  Company  purchases  a  significant  proportion  of  its  raw  materials  and 
components in US dollars at prices that are usually established at the order date. The Company’s operations are based in Canada 
and in the US. As a result of this, the Company is exposed to currency risk to the extent that fluctuations in exchange rates are 
experienced. The amount of foreign exchange gain recorded for the quarter ended December 31, 2019 is $1,067,000 (December 
31, 2018: $770,000 loss). 

The Company had the following US dollar denominated balances:

With other variables unchanged, each $0.10 strengthening (weakening) of the CAD against the USD would result in an increase 
(decrease) of approximately $6,859,000 in net income for the year ended December 31, 2019 as a result of holding a net liability 
position in USD as at December 31, 2019.

As at December 31, 2018, a $0.10 strengthening (weakening) of the CAD against the USD would result in an increase 
(decrease)  of approximately $6,599,000 in net income for the year ended December 31, 2018 as a result of holding a net 
liability position in USD as at December 31, 2018. 

Credit Risk 

Credit risk is the risk of a financial loss to the Company if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its 
contractual obligation. The Company manages credit risk for trade and other receivables through a financial review of the credit 
worthiness of the prospective customer along with credit monitoring activities. The majority of the Company’s trade receivables 
reside with  Boeing  Commercial Airplane Group (“Boeing”),  Boeing Defence, Space  & Security (“BDS”),  Bombardier Aerospace 
(“Bombardier”), BAE Systems (Operations) Limited (“BAE”), Lockheed Martin (“LM”), and Subaru Corporation (“Subaru”). The 
maximum exposure to credit risk is represented by the amount of accounts receivable in the consolidated statements of financial 
position. 

As at the consolidated statements of financial position date 85.6% (December 31, 2018: 90.8%) of the Company’s trade accounts 
receivable are attributable to these customers. 

The  Company  is  exposed  to  credit  risk  if  counterparties  to  its  trade  receivables  are  unable  to  meet  their  obligations.  The 
concentration of credit risk from its customers is minimized because the Company has an original equipment manufacturer and 
tier one aerospace customer base as at December 31, 2019. The customers are predominately large, well-capitalized, and long 
established entities with a low risk of non-payment. The Company regularly monitors its credit risk and credit exposure. 

Liquidity Risk  

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Company seeks 
to manage liquidity risk through the management of its capital structure and financial leverage. 

Accounts payable and accrued liabilities are all due within the next twelve months. 

During  the  year ended  December  31,  2019,  the  Company  had  a  net  loss  of  $9,316,000  (December  31,  2018:  net  income  of 
$20,373,000),  had  operating  cash  flows  of  $10,911,000  (December  31,  2018:  negative  $16,029,000)  and  a  shareholders’ 
deficiency of $43,475,000 as of December 31, 2019 (December 31, 2018: $36,144,000 deficiency) and an accumulated deficit of 
$142,194,000 (December 31, 2018: $132,878,000). Management assesses the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern 
at each reporting date, using quantitative and qualitative information available. Material uncertainties have been identified which 
may cast significant doubt upon the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. This assessment, by its nature, relies on 
estimates of future cash flows and other future events, whose subsequent changes would materially impact the validity of such 
an assessment.  

The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to achieve improvements in operating results 
in the future through additional revenue from defense related contracts, successfully negotiate extended terms with its creditors 
including  the  past  due  date  of  its  customer  advance  and  other  debt  related  items,  continue  to  raise  adequate  financing,  and 
mitigate  the  adverse  impact  of  the  COVID-19  virus.  In  assessing  whether  the  going  concern  assumption  was  appropriate, 
management considered all relevant information available about the future, which was at least, but not limited to, the 12-month 
period from the date of this report.  

The Company, in conjunction with its Board of Directors, is currently implementing various financing strategies which include: 

• 

On November 15, 2019, the Company entered into a loan agreement to expand its operating credit facility with a Canadian 
Chartered Bank. This loan agreement amends, restates and replaces the loan agreements entered into on September 27, 
2012 and subsequently on May 26, 2017. The loan agreement extends the maturity to June 30, 2021.  

•  Maximum availability under the Loan agreement cannot exceed USD $68,000,000 less USD $2,300,000 until June 30, 
2021. Drawdowns under the USD$45,000,000 borrowing capacity are supported by a major and material customer of 
the Company (the “Guarantor”) by way of a guarantee (the “Guarantee”). On November 15, 2019, Panta Holdings B.V., 
the holding company of Panta Canada B.V. which is Avcorp’s majority shareholder, entered into a guarantee agreement 
with the Guarantor. Pursuant to the guarantee agreement, Panta Holdings B.V. provided guarantee to the Guarantor in 
the maximum payment of USD$10,000,000 if the bank draws on the Guarantee in whole or in part. 

• 

• 

Interest rate for advances made up to the maximum of the allowable borrowing base of USD$23,000,000 revolving loan 
less USD$2,300,000:

Royal Bank Prime (“RBP”) plus 1.50% per annum 

Royal Bank US Base Rate (“RBUSBR”) plus 1.50% per annum

Pursuant to the terms of the amending loan agreement, the Company is required to meet certain financial covenants 
beginning in Q1 2020. In the event that the Company fails to meet the covenants, Panta Holdings B.V. and Panta Canada 
B.V. shall be entitled to make cash injections for a fiscal quarter by way of loan or equity investment in Avcorp. Such 
injections will be considered a positive addition to the calculation of the financial metrics for the purposes of determining 
compliance with the covenants. In addition, the Company will have a cure period measured cumulatively for the failed 
quarter and the subsequent quarter. There is uncertainty as to the ability of the company to meet its financial covenants 
without the additional financial support from Panta Holdings B.V. and Panta Canada B.V. 

On February 6, 2020, the Company entered into an amendment to its existing loan agreement with a Canadian Chartered 
Bank whereby the following amendments were made: 

• 

The threshold of the financial covenants for the first and second fiscal quarters for the 2020 fiscal year were amended 
in favor of the Company. 

On  November  15,  2019,  the  Company  entered  into  a  standby  credit  facility  agreement  (“2019  Panta  Loan”)  with  Panta 
Canada  B.V  which  amended  and  restated  the  2018  Panta  Loan,  as  well  as  securing  an  additional  $4,546,000 
(USD$3,500,000). As at December 31, 2019, the company had drawn $325,000 (USD $250,000) on this 2019 Panta Loan. 
The Company drew the remaining available amount in January 2020 of $4,238,000 (USD $3,250,000).  

On March 2, 2020, the Company entered into an amendment to the standby credit facility (“2019 Panta Loan”) securing an 
additional and drawing $2,598,000 (USD$2,000,000). As at the date of this report the company is able to draw up to an 
additional $Nil on the standby credit facility. 

The Company ended the year with bank operating line utilization of $84,661,000 offset by $4,316,000 cash compared to 
utilization of $85,840,000 with $2,051,000 cash on hand as at December 31, 2018. Based on net collateral provided to its 
bank, the Company is able to draw up to an additional $335,000 (USD$258,000) on its operating line of credit as at December 
31, 2019 (December 31, 2018: $1,059,000 (USD$776,000)). As at the date of this report the Company is able to draw up 
to an additional $21,000 (USD$16,000) on its operating line of credit. 

Pursuant  to  the  Hitco  acquisition,  the  Company  assumed  a  customer  advance  for  pre-funding  of  product  deliveries.  The 
customer advance is re-paid as the Company delivers to its customer ordered products for a specific program. In the event 
that cancellation, termination, or assignment of the statement of work occurs earlier than December 31, 2018, the customer 
shall have the right to recover from the Company, within 120 days of such an event, the unamortized portion of the cash 
advance; such event occurred during the third quarter 2018. The customer advance is subject to an access and security 
agreement along with a general security agreement entered into with the Company’s bank and the customer. The face value 
of the unamortized portion of the cash advance as at December 31, 2019 is $6,030,000 (USD$4,643,000) (December 31, 
2018: $6,334,000 (USD$4,643,000)). 

• 

• 

• 

• 

• 

The Company, in conjunction with its Board of Directors continue to carry out various operational strategies which include: 

• 

• 

• 

Contract renegotiations with existing customers, actively working to secure additional purchase orders and pursuing new 
customer contracts have provided an improved basis for operations in the future.  

The  company  reached  a  new  labour  agreement  with  the  International  Association  of  Machinists  and  Aerospace  Workers 
(Lodge 250) (the “Union”) at its Delta, British Columbia facility. The new six-year labour agreement was ratified by the Union 
and will expire on March 31, 2025 bringing the company long term stability. 

Close  collaboration  with  customers  has  resulted  in  both  financial  and  operational  support  for  continued  operations. 

The COVID-19 virus impact to the aviation industry and the Company continues to evolve. The Company has implemented 
strict precautions to mitigate the risk to its employees’ health and safety through restrictions on in-person meetings, rotating 
shifts and social distancing guidelines. In addition, the company will continue to assess the risk to the supply chain and its 
customers and will implement steps to mitigate this risk.   

The  assessment  of  the  Company’s  ability  to  execute  its  strategy  of  reducing  operating  costs,  funding  future  working  capital 
requirements, and ability to mitigate the risk of the COVID-19 virus involves significant judgement. Estimates and assumptions 
regarding future operating costs, revenue and profitability levels and general business and customer conditions are continually 
evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to 
be reasonable under the circumstances. 

Management is actively working to secure extension to its banking agreements, will continue to work with an existing common 
shareholder, and will seek additional financing as necessary. The Company cannot provide assurance that, if it needs to raise 
additional  funds,  such  funds  will  be  available  on  favourable  terms,  or  at  all.  If  the  Company  cannot  raise  adequate  funds  on 
acceptable terms, its business could be materially harmed. 

Interest Rate Risk 

The Company is exposed to interest rate risk on the utilized portion of its operating line of credit. 

Interest rate for advances made up to the maximum of the allowable borrowing base of USD$23,000,000 revolving loan less 
USD$2,300,000: 

• 

• 

• 

Royal Bank Prime (“RBP”) plus 1.50% per annum 

Royal Bank US Base Rate (“RBUSBR”) plus 1.50% per annum 

Banker’s Acceptance (“BA”) Equivalent Rate plus 3.00% per annum 

Page 23  

 
 
 
 
Avcorp Industries Inc. 

annual report 2019 

• 

LIBOR Rate plus 3.00% per annum 

Interest rate for advances made on the additional USD$45,000,000 borrowing capacity up to USD$68,000,000. 

• 

• 

• 

• 

RBP plus 0.00% per annum 

RBUSBR plus 0.00% per annum 

BA Equivalent Rate plus 0.875% per annum 

LIBOR Rate plus 0.875% per annum 

There is uncertainty as to the continued use of LIBOR in the future. LIBOR is the subject of recent national, international and 
other regulatory guidance and proposals for reform. These reforms and other pressures may cause LIBOR to be eliminated or to 
perform differently than in the past. The consequences of these developments cannot be entirely predicted but could include an 
increase in the cost of our variable rate indebtedness and obligations. 

Drawdown under the USD$45,000,000 additional borrowing capacity is supported by a Guarantee provided by a Guarantor. Panta 
Holdings  B.V.  provided  guarantee  to  the  Guarantor  in  the  maximum  payment  of  USD$10,000,000  if  the  bank  draws  on  the 
Guarantee in whole or in part 

The Company will provide the Guarantor, as consideration for the Guarantee, a fee equal to 5.375% of the weighted average 
outstanding balance of the guaranteed portion over each full twelve (12) month period commencing on the funding date plus, for 
the  partial  year thereafter,  5.375%  of  the weighted average outstanding  balance  of the  guaranteed portion  multiplied  by  the 
number of days in the partial year divided by three hundred sixty (360). The fee will be payable on the maturity date. 

The  maximum  operating  line  of  credit  availability  is  $85,331,000  (USD  $65,700,000)  of  which  $84,661,000  is  utilized  as  at 
December 31, 2019 (December 31, 2018: $85,840,000). The Company lowers interest rate costs by managing utilization of the 
operating lines of credit to the lowest amount practical. For the year ended December 31, 2019, with other variables unchanged, 
a 1% change in the base borrowing rate would have an $847,000 (December 31, 2018: $858,000) impact on net earnings and 
cash flow. Based on net collateral provided to its bank, the Company is able to draw up to an additional USD $258,000 on its 
operating line of credit as at December 31, 2019 (December 31, 2018: $776,000). As at the date of this report the Company is 
able to draw up to an additional USD$16,000 on its operating line of credit. 

The Company primarily finances the purchase of long-lived assets at fixed interest rates. 

Capital Risk 

The Company’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard its ability to continue as a going concern and to provide an 
adequate return to shareholders, while satisfying other stakeholders. 

The  Company  includes  long-term  debt  and  capital  stock  in  its  definition  of  capital,  as  shown  in  the  Company’s  consolidated 
statements of financial position. 

The Company’s primary objective in its management of capital is to ensure that it has sufficient financial resources to fund ongoing 
operations and new program investment. In order to secure this capital the Company may attempt to raise funds via issuance of 
debt and equity, or by securing strategic partners. 

The Company’s loan agreement with a Canadian Chartered Bank restricts the declaration or payment of any dividend.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements 
For the year ended December 31, 2019 
(all figures in tables are expressed in thousands of Canadian dollars, except per share amounts) 

annual report 2019 

1.  Nature of Operations and Going Concern 

Avcorp Industries Inc. (the “Company” or “Avcorp”) is a Canadian-based manufacturer within the aerospace industry, and a single 
source supplier for engineering design, manufacture and assembly of subassemblies and complete major structures for aircraft 
manufacturers. 

The Company currently operates from two locations in Canada and one location in the United States. Located in Delta, British 
Columbia,  Avcorp  Industries  Inc.,  named  as  Avcorp  Structures  &  Integration  (“ASI”),  is  dedicated  to  metallic  and  composite 
aerostructures  assembly  and  integration.  Within  Comtek  Advanced  Structures  Ltd.  (“Comtek”)  located  in  Burlington,  Ontario, 
exists  two  named  divisions:  Comtek,  dedicated  to  aircraft  structural  component  repair  services,  and  Avcorp  Engineered 
Composites (“AEC”) dedicated to design and manufacture of composite aerostructures. Located in Gardena, California, Avcorp 
Composite Fabrication Inc. (“ACF”) is dedicated to advanced composite aerostructures fabrication. 

Avcorp Composite Fabrication Inc. is wholly owned by Avcorp US Holdings Inc. Both companies are incorporated in the State of 
Delaware and are wholly owned subsidiaries of Avcorp Industries Inc. 

Comtek Advanced Structures Ltd., incorporated in the Province of Ontario is a wholly owned subsidiary of Avcorp Industries Inc. 

The Company’s governing corporate statute is the Canada Business Corporations Act (the “CBCA”). 

The  consolidated  financial  statements  of  the  Company  for  the  year  ended  December  31,  2019  were  authorized  for  issue  in 
accordance with a resolution of its Board of Directors on March 30, 2020. 

During  the  year ended  December  31,  2019,  the  Company  had  a  net  loss  of  $9,316,000  (December  31,  2018:  net  income  of 
$20,373,000),  had  operating  cash  flows  of  $10,911,000  (December  31,  2018:  negative  $16,029,000)  and  a  shareholders’ 
deficiency of $43,475,000 as of December 31, 2019 (December 31, 2018: $36,144,000 deficiency) and an accumulated deficit of 
$142,194,000 (December 31, 2018: $132,878,000). Management assesses the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern 
at each reporting date, using quantitative and qualitative information available. Material uncertainties have been identified which 
may cast significant doubt upon the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. This assessment, by its nature, relies on 
estimates of future cash flows and other future events, whose subsequent changes would materially impact the validity of such 
an assessment.  

The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to achieve improvements in operating results 
in the future through additional revenue from defense related contracts, successfully negotiate extended terms with its creditors 
including the past due date of its customer advance (note 17) and other debt related items, continue to raise adequate financing, 
and mitigate the adverse impact of the COVID-19 virus. In assessing whether the going concern assumption was appropriate, 
management considered all relevant information available about the future, which was at least, but not limited to, the 12-month 
period from the date of this report.  

The Company, in conjunction with its Board of Directors, is currently implementing various financing strategies which include: 

• 

On November 15, 2019, the Company entered into a loan agreement to expand its operating credit facility with a Canadian 
Chartered Bank. This loan agreement amends, restates and replaces the loan agreements entered into on September 27, 
2012 and subsequently on May 26, 2017. The loan agreement extends the maturity to June 30, 2021.  

•  Maximum availability under the Loan agreement cannot exceed USD $68,000,000 less USD $2,300,000 until June 30, 
2021. Drawdowns under the USD$45,000,000 borrowing capacity are supported by a major and material customer of 
the Company (the “Guarantor”) by way of a guarantee (the “Guarantee”). On November 15, 2019, Panta Holdings B.V., 
the holding company of Panta Canada B.V. which is Avcorp’s majority shareholder, entered into a guarantee agreement 
with the Guarantor. Pursuant to the guarantee agreement, Panta Holdings B.V. provided guarantee to the Guarantor in 
the maximum payment of USD$10,000,000 if the bank draws on the Guarantee in whole or in part. 

• 

• 

Interest rate for advances made up to the maximum of the allowable borrowing base of USD$23,000,000 revolving loan 
less USD$2,300,000: 

• 

• 

• 

• 

Royal Bank Prime (“RBP”) plus 1.50% per annum 

Royal Bank US Base Rate (“RBUSBR”) plus 1.50% per annum 

Banker’s Acceptance (“BA”) Equivalent Rate plus 3.00% per annum 

LIBOR Rate plus 3.00% per annum 

Interest rate for advances made on the additional USD$45,000,000 borrowing capacity up to USD$68,000,000. 

• 

• 

• 

RBP plus 0.00% per annum

Pursuant to the terms of the amending loan agreement, the Company is required to meet certain financial covenants 
beginning in Q1 2020. In the event that the Company fails to meet the covenants, Panta Holdings B.V. and Panta Canada 
B.V. shall be entitled to make cash injections for a fiscal quarter by way of loan or equity investment in Avcorp. Such 
injections will be considered a positive addition to the calculation of the financial metrics for the purposes of determining 
compliance with the covenants. In addition, the Company will have a cure period measured cumulatively for the failed 
quarter and the subsequent quarter. There is uncertainty as to the ability of the company to meet its financial covenants 
without the additional financial support from Panta Holdings B.V. and Panta Canada B.V. 

On February 6, 2020, the Company entered into an amendment to its existing loan agreement with a Canadian Chartered 
Bank whereby the following amendments were made: 

• 

The threshold of the financial covenants for the first and second fiscal quarters for the 2020 fiscal year were amended 
in favor of the Company. 

On  November  15,  2019,  the  Company  entered  into  a  standby  credit  facility  agreement  (“2019  Panta  Loan”)  with  Panta 
Canada  B.V  which  amended  and  restated  the  2018  Panta  Loan,  as  well  as  securing  an  additional  $4,546,000 
(USD$3,500,000) (note 21). As at December 31, 2019, the company had drawn $325,000 (USD $250,000) on this 2019 
Panta Loan. The Company drew the remaining available amount in January 2020 of $4,238,000 (USD $3,250,000).  

On March 2, 2020, the Company entered into an amendment to the standby credit facility (“2019 Panta Loan”) securing an 
additional and drawing $2,598,000 (USD$2,000,000) (note 35). As at the date of this report the company is able to draw up 
to an additional $Nil on the standby credit facility. 

The Company ended the year with bank operating line utilization of $84,661,000 offset by $4,316,000 cash compared to 
utilization of $85,840,000 with $2,051,000 cash on hand as at December 31, 2018. Based on net collateral provided to its 
bank, the Company is able to draw up to an additional $335,000 (USD$258,000) on its operating line of credit as at December 
31, 2019 (December 31, 2018: $1,059,000 (USD$776,000)). As at the date of this report the Company is able to draw up 
to an additional $21,000 (USD$16,000) on its operating line of credit. 

Pursuant  to  the  Hitco  acquisition,  the  Company  assumed  a  customer  advance  for  pre-funding  of  product  deliveries.  The 
customer advance is re-paid as the Company delivers to its customer ordered products for a specific program. In the event 
that cancellation, termination, or assignment of the statement of work occurs earlier than December 31, 2018, the customer 
shall have the right to recover from the Company, within 120 days of such an event, the unamortized portion of the cash 
advance; such event occurred during the third quarter 2018. The customer advance is subject to an access and security 
agreement along with a general security agreement entered into with the Company’s bank and the customer. The face value 
of the unamortized portion of the cash advance as at December 31, 2019 is $6,030,000 (USD$4,643,000) (December 31, 
2018: $6,334,000 (USD$4,643,000)) (note 17). 

• 

• 

• 

• 

• 

The Company, in conjunction with its Board of Directors continue to carry out various operational strategies which include: 

• 

• 

• 

• 

Contract renegotiations with existing customers, actively working to secure additional purchase orders and pursuing new 
customer contracts have provided an improved basis for operations in the future.  

The  company  reached  a  new  labour  agreement  with  the  International  Association  of  Machinists  and  Aerospace  Workers 
(Lodge 250) (the “Union”) at its Delta, British Columbia facility. The new six-year labour agreement was ratified by the Union 
and will expire on March 31, 2025 bringing the company long term stability. 

Close collaboration with customers has resulted in both financial and operational support for continued operations. 

The COVID-19 virus impact to the aviation industry and the Company continues to evolve. The Company has implemented 
strict precautions to mitigate the risk to its employees’ health and safety through restrictions on in-person meetings, rotating 
shifts and social distancing guidelines. In addition, the company will continue to assess the risk to the supply chain and its 
customers and will implement steps to mitigate this risk.   

The  assessment  of  the  Company’s  ability  to  execute  its  strategy  of  reducing  operating  costs,  funding  future  working  capital 
requirements, and ability to mitigate the risk of the COVID-19 virus involves significant judgement. Estimates and assumptions 
regarding future operating costs, revenue and profitability levels and general business and customer conditions are continually 
evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to 
be reasonable under the circumstances. 

Management is actively working to secure extension to its banking agreements, will continue to work with an existing common 
shareholder, and will seek additional financing as necessary. The Company cannot provide assurance that, if it needs to raise 
additional  funds,  such  funds  will  be  available  on  favourable  terms,  or  at  all.  If  the  Company  cannot  raise  adequate  funds  on 
acceptable terms, its business could be materially harmed.

2.  Basis of Preparation and Measurement 

The consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting 
Standards (“IFRS”). 

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for financial equity investments that 
have been measured at fair value. The consolidated financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars and all values are 
rounded to the nearest thousand (000), except where otherwise indicated. 

Certain  prior  year  amounts  have  been  reclassified  to  correct  prior  year  classifications.    On  the  consolidated  balance  sheets 
$2,871,000 deposit has been reclassified from “Prepayments and other assets” current to “Prepayments and other assets” non-
current. 

Accounting standards issued but not yet effective 

The following is a brief summary of the new standards issued but not yet effective: 

Amendments to IAS 1 and IAS 8: Definition of Material 

In October 2018, the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) issued amendments to IAS 1 Presentation of Financial 
Statements and IAS 8 Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors to align the definition of ‘material’ across 
the standards and to clarify certain aspects of the definition. 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  standard  is  effective  for  annual  periods  beginning  on  or  after  January  1,  2020,  with  early  application  permitted.  The 
amendments to the definition of material is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial 
statements. 

Amendments to IAS 1: Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-Current 

In January 2020, the IASB issued Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-current (Amendments to IAS 1). The amendments 
aim to promote consistency in applying the requirements by helping companies determine whether, in the statement of financial 
position, debt and other liabilities with an uncertain settlement date should be classified as current (due or potentially due to be 
settled within one year) or non-current. The amendments include clarifying the classification requirements for debt a company 
might settle by converting it into equity. The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 
1, 2022, with earlier application permitted. 

3.  Significant Accounting Policies 

The significant accounting policies and methods of computation used in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements 
are described below. The policies have been consistently applied to all periods presented, unless otherwise stated. 

Basis of consolidation 

The financial statements of the Company consolidate the accounts of Avcorp Industries Inc. and its subsidiaries Comtek Advanced 
Structures  Ltd.,  Avcorp  US  Holdings  Inc.,  and  Avcorp  Composite  Fabrication  Inc.  (the  “Group”).  All  material  intercompany 
transactions, balances and unrealized gains and losses from intercompany transactions are eliminated on consolidation. 

The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of the Group and its subsidiaries as at December 31, 
2019. Control is achieved when the Group 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. Specifically, the Group controls an investee if, and 
only if, the Group has: 

• 

• 

• 

Power over the investee (i.e. existing rights that give it the current ability to direct the relevant activities of the investee); 

Exposure, or rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee; and 

The ability to use its power over the investee to affect its returns. 

Generally, there is a presumption that a majority of voting rights result in control. Consolidation of a subsidiary begins when the 
Group obtains control over the subsidiary and ceases when the Group loses control of the subsidiary. Assets, liabilities, income 
and expenses of a subsidiary acquired or disposed of during the year are included in the consolidated financial statements from 
the date the Group gains control until the date the Group ceases to control the subsidiary. 

When necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to bring their accounting policies into line with 
the  Group’s  accounting  policies.  All  intra-group  assets  and  liabilities,  equity,  income,  expenses  and  cash  flows  relating  to 
transactions between members of the Group are eliminated in full on consolidation.

(all figures in tables are expressed in thousands of Canadian dollars, except per share amounts) 

annual report 2019 

Business combinations  

Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method. The cost of an acquisition is measured as the aggregate 
of  the  consideration  transferred,  which  is  measured  at  acquisition  date  fair  value.  Acquisition-related  costs  are  expensed  as 
incurred and included in administrative expenses. 

Foreign currency translation 

• 

• 

• 

• 

Functional  and  presentation  currency:  Foreign  currency  items  included  in  the  consolidated  financial  statements  of  each 
consolidated entity in the Avcorp Industries Inc. group are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment 
in which the entity operates (the “functional currency”). The consolidated financial statements are presented in Canadian 
dollars, which is the Company’s functional currency. The functional currency of the Company’s subsidiary, Comtek, is also 
determined to be Canadian dollars. The functional currency of the Company’s subsidiary, Avcorp US Holdings Inc., and ACF 
is determined to be US dollars. 

On consolidation, the assets and liabilities of foreign operations are translated into Canadian dollars at the rate of exchange 
prevailing at the reporting date and their statements of income are translated at average exchange rates prevailing during 
the period. The exchange differences arising on translation for consolidation are recognized in other comprehensive income 
(“OCI”). On disposal of a foreign operation, the component of OCI relating to that particular foreign operation is reclassified 
to consolidated income. 

Any  goodwill arising  on  the  acquisition  of a  foreign  operation  and  any  fair  value adjustments to  the carrying  amounts  of 
assets and liabilities arising on the acquisition are treated as assets and liabilities of the foreign operation and translated at 
the spot rate of exchange at the reporting date. 

Transactions  and  balances:  Foreign  currency  transactions  are translated  into  the  functional  currency  using  the  exchange 
rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Generally, foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement 
of  foreign  currency transactions  and  from  the  translation at  period-end  exchange rates  of  monetary  assets and  liabilities 
denominated in currencies other than an operation’s functional currency are recognized in the consolidated statements of 
income. 

Fair value measurement 

Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the principal or 
most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement 
date. When determining fair value measurements for assets and liabilities required to be recorded at fair value, the Company 
considers  the  principal  or  most  advantageous  market  in  which  it  would  transact  and  also  considers  assumptions  that  market 
participants would use when pricing an asset or liability. The fair value hierarchy has three levels of inputs that may be used to 
measure fair value: Level 1—Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; Level 2—Unadjusted 
quoted  prices  in  active  markets  for  similar  assets  or  liabilities,  or  unadjusted  quoted  prices  for  identical  or  similar  assets  or 
liabilities in markets that are not active, or inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability; and Level 
3—Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. 

Financial instruments 

a)  Financial assets 

Financial assets include, in particular, cash, accounts receivables and equity investments. 

Financial assets are classified, at initial recognition, as subsequently measured at amortized cost, fair value through other 
comprehensive income, and fair value through profit or loss. The classification of financial assets at initial recognition depends 
on the financial asset’s contractual cash flow characteristics. With the exception of accounts receivables that do not contain 
a  significant  financing  component  or  for  which  the  Company  has  applied  the  practical  expedient,  the  Company  initially 
measures  a  financial  asset  at  its  fair  value  plus,  in  the  case  of  a  financial  asset  not  at  fair  value  through  profit  or  loss, 
transaction costs. Accounts receivables that do not contain a significant financing component or for which the Company has 
applied the practical expedient are measured at the transaction price determined under IFRS 15. Refer to the accounting 
policies for Revenue from contracts with customers. 

The  Company  measures  financial  assets  at  amortized  cost  if  the  financial  asset  is held within  a  business  model with  the 
objective to hold financial assets in order to collect contractual cash flows and the contractual terms of the financial asset 
give  rise  on  specified  dates  to  cash  flows  that  are  solely  payments  of  principal  and  interest  on  the  principal  amount 
outstanding.  Financial  assets  at  amortized  cost  are  subsequently  measured  using  the  effective  interest  method  and  are 
subject to impairment. Gains and losses are recognized in profit or loss when the asset is derecognized, modified or impaired. 

The Company’s financial assets at amortized cost includes accounts receivables.

The Company recognizes an allowance for expected credit losses (ECLs) for all debt instruments not held at fair value through 
profit or loss. ECLs are based on the difference between the contractual cash flows due in accordance with the contract and 
all the cash flows that the Company expects to receive, discounted at an approximation of the original effective interest rate. 
The expected cash flows will include cash flows from the sale of collateral held or other credit enhancements that are integral 
to  the  contractual  terms.  For  accounts  receivables  and  contract  assets,  the  Company  applies  a  simplified  approach  in 
calculating  ECLs.  Therefore,  the  Company  does  not  track  changes  in  credit  risk,  but  instead  recognizes  a  loss  allowance 
based on lifetime ECLs at each reporting date. 

The Company has established a provision matrix that is based on its historical credit loss experience, adjusted for forward-
looking factors specific to the debtors and the economic environment. The provision for ECL rates is based on days past due 
for  groupings  of  various  customer  segments  that  have  similar  loss  patterns  (i.e.,  by  customer  type  and  rating).  The 
assessment of the correlation between historical credit loss pattern, forecast economic conditions and ECLs is a significant 
estimate. The amount of ECLs is sensitive to changes in circumstances and of forecast economic conditions. The Company’s 
historical credit loss experience and forecast of economic conditions may also not be representative of customer’s actual 
default in the future. 

Equity investments in non-listed companies are classified and measured as equity instruments at fair value through profit or 
loss. Impairment losses were recognized in profit or loss for these investments in the current year (Note 34). 

b)  Financial liabilities 

Financial liabilities often entitle the holder to return the instrument to the issuer in return for cash or another financial asset. 
These  include,  in  particular,  bank  indebtedness, accounts  payables,  finance  lease  liabilities,  customer advance  guarantee 
fee, and term debt. 

Financial liabilities are measured at their fair value at the time of acquisition, which is normally equivalent to the net loan 
proceeds. Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition are deducted from the amount of all financial liabilities 
that are not measured at fair value through profit or loss subsequent to initial recognition. If a financial liability is interest 
free or bears interest at below the market rate, it is recognized at an amount below the settlement price or nominal value. 
The financial liability initially recognized at fair value is amortized subsequent to initial recognition using the effective interest 
method. 

Inventories 

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost is determined using the first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) method. 
The cost of finished goods and work-in-progress comprises raw materials, direct labour, other direct costs and related production 
overheads  (based  on  normal  operating  capacity)  including  applicable  depreciation  on  property,  plant  and  equipment  and 
amortization of intangible assets. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price less applicable selling expenses. 

Property, plant and equipment 

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. Cost includes 
expenditures that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the asset. 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 item will flow to the Company and the cost can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of a replaced asset is derecognized 
when replaced. Repairs and maintenance costs are charged to the consolidated statement of loss during the period in which they 
are incurred. 

An  estimation  is  made  of  the  useful  life  of  property,  plant  and  equipment.  The  useful  life  is  measured  in  terms  of  years  of 
production, and depreciated on a straight line basis. 

Computer hardware and software 
Machinery and equipment 
Leasehold improvements 

2 - 10 years

end of leases up to 2028 

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. The useful lives of the assets are reviewed annually and adjusted if appropriate. 
The amortization expense in property, plant and equipment is recognized in the consolidated statement of loss in the expense 
category that is consistent with the function of the property, plant and equipment.

annual report 2019 

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. 

Intangible assets with finite lives are amortized over the useful economic life and assessed for impairment whenever there is an 
indication that the intangible asset may be impaired. The amortization period and the amortization method for an intangible asset 
with  a  finite  useful  life  are  reviewed  at  least  at  the  end  of  each  reporting  period.  Changes  in  the  expected  useful  life  or  the 
expected pattern of consumption of future economic benefits embodied in the asset are considered to modify the amortization 
period or method, as appropriate, and are treated as changes in accounting estimates. The amortization expense on intangible 
assets  with  finite  lives  is  recognized  in  the  profit  or  loss  in  the  expense  category  that  is  consistent  with  the  function  of  the 
intangible assets. 

Research and development costs 

Research costs are expensed as incurred. Development costs, which are currently all tooling and new program introduction costs 
incurred on long-term programs that meet the criteria for deferral, are capitalized and amortized straight-line over the number 
of shipsets management believes is a reasonable estimate of units to be sold for the program. 

Segment Reporting 

Management  has  determined  the  operating  segments  based  on  information  regularly  reviewed  for  the  purposes  of  decision 
making, allocating resources and assessing performance by the Company’s chief operating decision maker; the Chief Executive 
Officer (CEO). The Company evaluates the financial performance of its operating segments primarily based on operating income 
or loss. 

Impairment of non-financial assets  

The Company assesses, at each reporting date, whether there is an indication that an asset may be impaired. If any indication 
exists, or when annual impairment testing for an asset is required, the Company estimates the asset’s recoverable amount. An 
asset’s recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s or cash generating units (“CGU”) fair value less costs of disposal and its 
value in use. The Company’s CGUs are ASI, Comtek, and ACF. The recoverable amount is determined for an individual asset, 
unless the asset does not generate cash inflows that are largely independent of those from other assets or groups of assets. 
When the carrying amount of an asset or CGU exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset is considered impaired and is written 
down to its recoverable amount. 

In assessing value in use, the 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. In determining fair value less 
costs of disposal, recent market transactions are taken into account. If no such transactions can be identified, an appropriate 
valuation  model  is  used.  These  calculations  are  corroborated  by  valuation  multiples,  quoted  share  prices  for  publicly  traded 
companies or other available fair value indicators. 

The Company bases its impairment calculation on detailed budgets and forecast calculations, which are prepared separately for 
each of the Company’s CGUs to which the individual assets are allocated. These budgets and forecast calculations generally cover 
a period of five years. A long-term growth rate is calculated and applied to project future cash flows after the fifth year. 

An assessment is made at each reporting date to determine whether there is an indication that previously recognized impairment 
losses  no  longer  exist  or  have  decreased.  If  such  indication  exists,  the  Company  estimates  the  asset’s  or  CGU’s  recoverable 
amount. A previously recognized impairment loss is reversed only if there has been a change in the assumptions used to determine 
the asset’s recoverable amount since the last impairment loss was recognized. The reversal is limited so that the carrying amount 
of the asset does not exceed its recoverable amount, nor exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of 
depreciation, had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset in prior years. Such reversal is recognized in the statement 
of profit or loss unless the asset is carried at a revalued amount, in which case, the reversal is treated as a revaluation increase. 

Employee benefits 

• 

Post-employment  benefit  obligations:  Employees  of  companies  included  in  these  consolidated  financial  statements  have 
entitlements under Company pension plans which are defined contribution pension plans.  

The cost of defined contribution pension plans is charged to expense as the contributions become payable.

• 

• 

Stock based compensation: The Company grants stock options to certain employees. Stock options vest over three to ten 
years and all expire over five to ten years after grant date. Each tranche in an award is considered a separate award with its 
own vesting period and grant date fair value. Fair value of each tranche is measured at the date of grant using the Black-
Scholes option pricing model. 

Compensation expense is recognized over the tranche’s vesting period based on the number of awards expected to vest, by 
increasing contributed surplus. The number of awards expected to vest is reviewed at least quarterly, with any impact being 
recognized immediately. 

Termination benefits: The Company recognizes termination benefits when it is demonstrably committed to either terminating 
the  employment  of  current  employees  according  to  a  detailed  formal  plan  without  possibility  of  withdrawal,  or  providing 
benefits as a result of an offer made to encourage voluntary termination. Benefits falling due more than twelve months after 
the end of the reporting period are discounted to their present value where the effect is material. 

Unfavourable contracts liability 

In connection with the acquisition of the US-based composite Aerostructures division of Hitco Carbon Composites Inc. (“Hitco”), 
a  subsidiary  of  Frankfurt-listed  SGL  Carbon  SE  (“SGL”)  the  Company  assumed  existing  long-term  and  short-term  customer 
contracts.  Based  on  review  of  these  contracts,  the  Company  concluded  that  the  terms  of  the  contracts  to  be  unfavourable, 
compared to what could be realized in market transactions, as of the date of the acquisition.  

As  a  result,  the  Company  recognized  contract  liabilities,  assumed,  based  on  the  present  value  of  the  difference  between  the 
contractual cash flows of the unfavourable contracts and the estimated cash flows to fulfil the obligation under the terms of the 
existing  contracts  from  the  acquisition  date.  The  liabilities  principally  relate  to  long-term  life  of  program  contracts  that  were 
initially executed in the years prior to the acquisition. 

The Company measured these liabilities under the measurement provisions of IFRS 13, Fair Value Measurements, which is based 
on the price to transfer the obligation to a market participant at the measurement date, assuming that the liabilities will remain 
outstanding in the marketplace. 

Fair  value  estimates  are  based  on  a  complex  series  of  judgments  about  future  events  and  uncertainties  and  rely  heavily  on 
estimates and assumptions. The judgments used to determine the estimated fair value assigned to each long-term contracts can 
materially impact our results of operations. 

Included in income for the year ended December 31, 2018 is the non-cash amortization of acquired liabilities recognized as fair 
value adjustments through purchase accounting from the acquisition of ACF. For the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company 
recognized  net amortization  of unfavourable contract  liabilities  of  $Nil  (December  31, 2018: $4,617,000).  The  balance  of the 
liability as of December 31, 2019 is $Nil (December 31, 2018: $Nil) and, is based on a units of production basis over the expected 
life of the contracts. The unfavourable contract liability was amortized on a units-of-production basis over the expected lives of 
the contracts. 

During 2018, production requirements associated with the unfavourable contract were redirected to another supplier, giving rise 
to the full amortization of the unfavourable contract liability into income. This has been recorded in Consolidation Statements of 
Income and Comprehensive Income as a contract modification in the amount of $39,982,000 (note 20). 

Revenue 

The Company’s major revenue streams arise from the production and supply of major airframe structures and aircraft parts to 
aircraft manufacturers, the repair of aircraft components, aircraft product design and production tooling design and manufacture.  

Revenue is recognized either at a point in time or over time, as the Company satisfies performance obligations by transferring 
the  promised  goods  or  services  to  its  customers.  An  asset  is  transferred  as  the  customer  obtains  control  of  the  asset.  If  a 
performance obligation is not satisfied over time, the Company satisfies the performance obligation at a point in time. 

The Company transfers control of a good or service over time and, therefore, satisfies a performance obligation and recognizes 
revenue over time, if one of the following criteria is met: 

• 

• 

• 

the  customer  simultaneously  receives  and  consumes  the  benefits  provided  by  the  Company's  performance  as  the 
Company performs; 

the Company's performance creates or enhances an asset (for example, work in progress) that the customer controls 
as the asset is created or enhanced; or 

the Company's performance does not create an asset with an alternative use to the Company and the Company has an 
enforceable right to payment for performance completed to date.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements 
For the year ended December 31, 2019 
(all figures in tables are expressed in thousands of Canadian dollars, except per share amounts) 

annual report 2019 

The Company transfers control of the goods over time as evidenced either by contractual termination clauses or by our rights to 
payment  for  work  performed  to  date  plus  a  reasonable  profit  to  deliver  products  that  do  not  have  an  alternative  use  to  the 
Company. The Company uses the input method to measure the satisfaction of performance obligations over time. The inputs are 
labour hours expended and cost of materials consumed relative to the total expected inputs to the satisfaction of that performance 
obligation. 

Determining  whether  a  contract  transfers  control  of  the  goods  over  time  requires  management  to  consider  the  terms  of  the 
contract,  as  well  as  any  laws  that  apply  to  the  contract,  and  make  judgements  as  to  (1)  whether  the  asset  created  by  the 
Company's performance does not have an alternative use to the Company if the Company is either restricted contractually from 
readily directing the asset for another use during the creation or enhancement of that asset or limited practically from readily 
directing the asset in its completed state for another use and (2) evaluating whether it has an enforceable right to payment for 
performance completed to date. 

The Company transfers control of the goods at a point in time evidenced when the delivery has occurred. 

Revenue is measured based on the price specified in the sales contract. 

Contract  Assets  include  unbilled  amounts  typically  resulting  from  sales  under  long-term  contracts  when  over  time  method  of 
revenue recognition is utilized and revenue recognized exceeds the amount billed to the customer, and right to payment is not 
just subject to passage of time. Amounts may not exceed their net realizable value. Contract assets are current in nature. 

Contract liabilities consist of advance payments and billings in excess of revenue recognized. Advance payments and billings in 
excess of revenue recognized are classified as current or non-current based on the timing of when revenue is expected to be 
recognized. This period of contract liabilities realization can extend, dependent on the amortization of the related costs, over one 
or more fiscal years. Certain program inventories have been funded by a customer, whereby the associated contract liability will 
be recorded as revenue upon delivery of units of production. 

Cost of sales 

Cost  of  sales  includes  the  cost  of  production,  including  materials,  direct  labour,  overhead  expenses  as  well  as  applicable 
depreciation and amortization. 

Income tax 

a)  Current income tax 

Current income tax assets and liabilities for the current year are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or 
paid  to  the  taxation  authorities.  The  tax  rates  and  tax  laws  used  to  compute  the  amount  are  those  that  are  enacted  or 
substantively enacted, at the reporting date in the countries where the Company operates and generates taxable income. 

Current income tax relating to items recognized directly in equity is recognized in equity and not in the consolidated statement 
of loss. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in the tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable 
tax regulations are subject to interpretation and establishes provisions where appropriate. 

b)  Deferred income tax 

Deferred income tax is provided using the liability method on deductible temporary differences between the tax bases of 
assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes at the reporting date. 

Deferred income tax liabilities are recognized for all taxable temporary differences, except: 

• 

taxable  temporary  differences  associated  with  investments  in  subsidiaries,  when  the  timing  of  the  reversal  of  the 
temporary  differences  can  be  controlled  and  it  is  probable  that  the  temporary  differences  will  not  reverse  in  the 
foreseeable future. 

Deferred income tax assets are recognized for all deductible temporary differences, the carry forward of unused tax credits 
and any unused tax losses to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible 
temporary differences and the carry forward of unused tax credits and unused tax losses can be utilized. 

The carrying amount of deferred income tax assets is reviewed at each reporting date and reduced to the extent that it is 
no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred income tax asset to be 
utilized. Unrecognized deferred income tax assets are reassessed at each reporting date and are recognized to the extent 
that it has become probable that future taxable profits will allow the deferred income tax asset to be recovered. 

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the year when the 
asset is realized or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted 
at the reporting date.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements 
For the year ended December 31, 2019 
(all figures in tables are expressed in thousands of Canadian dollars, except per share amounts) 

annual report 2019 

Deferred income tax relating to items recognized outside profit or loss is recognized outside profit or loss. Deferred income 
tax  items are  recognized  in correlation to  the underlying transaction  either  in other comprehensive  income  or  directly  in 
equity. 

Deferred income tax assets and deferred income tax liabilities are offset if a legally enforceable right exists to set off current 
tax assets against current income tax liabilities and the deferred income taxes relate to the same taxable entity and the 
same taxation authority. 

Capital Stock 

Common shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issuance of shares are recognized as a 
deduction from equity. 

Earnings per share 

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

Diluted EPS is calculated by adjusting the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for dilutive instruments. The 
number of shares included with respect to options, warrants and similar instruments is computed using the treasury stock method. 
The Company’s potentially dilutive common shares comprise stock options granted to employees and warrants. 

Leases 

Prior to the adoption of IFRS 16 – Leases in 2019, leases are classified as finance or operating leases. A lease that transfers 
substantially all the benefits and risks incidental to the ownership of property is classified as a finance lease. All other leases are 
accounted for as operating leases whereby lease payments are expensed on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.  

Gains and losses arising on sale and leaseback transactions, when the leaseback is classified as a finance lease, are deferred 
and amortized in proportion to the amortization of the leased asset when material. Lease inducements received are recorded as 
a deferred credit and amortized as a reduction of lease expense over the term of the lease. 

Adoption of IFRS 16 - Leases 

IFRS 16 supersedes IAS 17 Leases, IFRIC 4 Determining whether an Arrangement contains a Lease, SIC-15 Operating Leases-
Incentives and SIC-27 Evaluating the Substance of Transactions Involving the Legal Form of a Lease. The standard sets out the 
principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases and requires lessees to account for all leases 
under a single on-balance sheet model. 

The Company adopted IFRS 16 using the modified retrospective method of adoption with the date of initial application of January 
1, 2019. Under this method, the standard is applied retrospectively with the cumulative effect of initially applying the standard 
recognized at the date of initial application. The Company elected to use the transition practical expedient allowing the standard 
to  be  applied  only  to  contracts  that  were  previously  identified  as  leases  applying  IAS  17  and  IFRIC  4  at  the  date  of  initial 
application. As part of the initial application of IFRS 16, the Company applied the available practical expedients wherein it: 

• 

• 

• 

• 

• 

Used a single discount rate to a portfolio of leases with reasonably similar characteristics 

Applied  the  short-term  leases  exemptions  to  leases  with  lease  term  that  ends  within  12  months  at  the  date  of  initial 
application (“short-term leases”) 

Applied the recognition exemptions to lease contracts for which the underlying asset is of low value (“low-value assets”) 

Used hindsight in determining the lease term where the contract contains options to extend or terminate the lease 

Excluded the initial direct costs from the measurement of the right-of-use asset at the date of initial application 

The Company did not change the initial carrying amounts of recognized assets and liabilities at the date of initial application for 
leases previously classified as finance leases under IAS 17. The Company recognized right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for 
those leases previously classified as operating leases, except for short-term leases and leases of low-value assets. The right-of-
use assets were recognized based on the amount equal to the lease liabilities, adjusted for any related prepaid and accrued lease 
payments previously recognized. Lease liabilities were recognized based on the present value of the remaining lease payments, 
discounted using the incremental borrowing rate at the date of initial application. 

Based on the foregoing, as at January 1, 2019: 

• 

Right-of-use assets of $13,755,000 (included in Property, Plant and Equipment) were recognized. This includes the lease 
assets recognized previously under finance leases of $666,000 that were classified in machinery and equipment and computer 
hardware and software.

Set out below are the new accounting policies of the Company upon adoption of IFRS 16, which have been applied from the date 
of initial application: 

Right-of-use assets 

The Company recognizes right-of-use assets at the commencement date of the lease. Right-of-use assets are measured at cost, 
less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, and adjusted for any re-measurement of lease liabilities. The cost of 
right-of-use assets includes the amount of lease liabilities recognized, initial direct costs incurred, and lease payments made at 
or  before  the  commencement  date  less  any  lease  incentives  received.  Unless  the  Company  is  reasonably  certain  to  obtain 
ownership of the leased asset at the end of the lease term, the recognized right-of-use assets are depreciated on a straight-line 
basis over the shorter of its estimated useful life and the lease term. Right-of-use assets are subject to impairment. 

Lease liabilities 

At the commencement date of the lease, the Company recognizes lease liabilities measured at the present value of lease payments 
to be made over the lease term. The lease payments include fixed payments (including in-substance fixed payments) less any 
lease incentives receivable, variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, and amounts expected to be paid under 
residual  value  guarantees.  The  lease  payments  also  include  the  exercise  price  of  a  purchase  option  reasonably  certain  to  be 
exercised by the Company and payments of penalties for terminating a lease, if the lease term reflects the Company exercising 
the option to terminate. The variable lease payments that do not depend on an index or a rate are recognized as expense in the 
period on which the event or condition that triggers the payment occurs. 

In calculating the present value of lease payments, the Company uses the incremental borrowing rate at the lease commencement 
date if the interest rate implicit in the lease is not readily determinable. The incremental borrowing rate is the rate of interest 
that the Company would have to pay to borrow over a similar term, and with a similar security, the funds necessary to obtain an 
asset of a similar value to the lease asset in a similar economic environment. After the commencement date, the amount of lease 
liabilities  is  increased  to  reflect  the  accretion  of  interest  and  reduced  for  the  lease  payments  made.  In  addition,  the  carrying 
amount of lease liabilities is re-measured if there is a modification, a change in the lease term, a change in the in-substance fixed 
lease payments or a change in the assessment to purchase the underlying asset.

annual report 2019 

Short-term leases and leases of low-value assets 

The Company applies the short-term lease recognition exemption to its short-term leases that have a lease term of 12 months 
or  less  from  the  commencement  date  and  do  not  contain  a  purchase  option.  It  also  applies  the  lease  of  low-value  assets 
recognition exemption to leases of assets that are considered of low value. Lease payments on short-term leases and leases of 
low-value assets are recognized as expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term. 

Significant judgement in determining the lease term of contracts with renewal options 

The Company determines the lease term as the non-cancellable term of the lease, together with any periods covered by an option 
to extend the lease if it is reasonably certain to be exercised, or any periods covered by an option to terminate the lease, if it is 
reasonably certain not to be exercised. The Company considers all relevant factors that create an economic incentive for it to 
exercise the renewal. After the commencement date, the Company reassesses the lease term if there is a significant event or 
change in circumstances that is within its control and affects its ability to exercise (or not to exercise) the option to renew. 

4.  Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgements 

The  preparation  of  consolidated  financial  statements  in  conformity  with  IFRS  requires  management  to  make  estimates  and 
judgments  that  affect  the  amounts  which  are  reported  in  the  consolidated  financial  statements  during  the  reporting  period. 
Estimates  and  other  judgments  are  evaluated  at  each  reporting  date  and  are  based  on  management’s  experience  and  other 
factors,  including  expectations  about  future  events  that  are  believed  to  be  reasonable  under  the  circumstances.  The  critical 
estimates and judgements utilized in preparing the Company’s consolidated financial statements affect the assessment of net 
recoverable  amounts,  net  realizable  values  and  fair  values,  and  the  determination  of  functional  currency  of  the  Canadian 
operations of the group. Any changes in estimates and assumptions could have a material impact on the assets and liabilities at 
the date of the statement of financial position. The Company reviews its estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis and 
uses the most current information available and exercises careful judgement in making these estimates and assumptions.

Functional currency: The functional currency for the Company and its subsidiaries is the currency of the primary economic 
environment in which each operates. The Company has determined that the functional currency for the Company and all its 
subsidiaries  except  for  Avcorp  US  Holdings  Inc.  and  ACF  is  the  Canadian  dollar.  The  functional  currency  for  Avcorp  US 
Holdings Inc. and ACF is the US dollar. The determination of functional currency may require certain judgements to determine 
the primary economic environment. The Company reconsiders the functional currency used when there is a change in events 
and conditions which determined the primary economic environment. 

Impairments: The recoverable amount of intangible assets, development costs and property, plant and equipment is based 
on estimates  and assumptions regarding  the expected market  outlook  and cash  flows  from each  of the Company’s  CGU. 
Assumptions, judgments and estimates about future values are complex and often subjective. They can be affected by a 
variety of factors, including external factors such as industry and economic trends, and internal factors such as changes in 
the  Company’s  business  strategy  or  internal  forecasts.  Although  the  Company  believes  the  assumptions,  judgments  and 
estimates made in the past have been reasonable and appropriate, different assumptions, judgments and estimates could 
materially affect the Company’s reported financial results. 

Going concern and debt classification: Management assesses the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern at each 
reporting  date,  using  quantitative  and  qualitative  information  available.  Management  also  determines  the  appropriate 
classification of its debt arrangements based on terms of the various agreements based on the company’s financial condition. 
This assessment, by its nature, relies on estimates of future cash flows and other future events, whose subsequent changes 
would materially impact the validity of such an assessment. 

Capitalization  of  development  costs:  When  capitalizing  development  costs  the  Company  must  assess  the  technical  and 
commercial  feasibility  of  the  projects  and  estimate  the  useful  lives  of  resulting  products.  Determining  whether  future 
economic benefits will flow from the assets and therefore the estimates and assumptions associated with these calculations 
are instrumental in (i) deciding whether project costs can be capitalized, and (ii) accurately calculating the useful life of the 
projects for the Company. 

Unfavourable contracts liability: At the acquisition date valued the unfavourable contracts liability at fair value using certain 
assumptions  that would  arise  in  a  market  participant  view.  The  Company estimates  the  expected  shipsets  or  production 
when assessing the liability, together with the discounts rate and period of performance under the varying contracts and 
service agreements. The cash flows are discounted over the period of performance using a discount rate commensurate with 
the risk associated with the liability. 

During 2018 production requirements associated with the unfavourable contract were redirected to another supplier, giving 
rise to the full amortization of the unfavourable contract liability and the onerous contract provision into income. In addition, 
the customer advance was adjusted to its face value through income. This has been recorded in the 2018 Annual Consolidated 
Statements of Income (Loss) and Comprehensive Income (Loss) as a contract modification in the amount of $41,470,000. 
Uncertainties exist as to ultimate outcome of a formal contract termination. While the Company believes that it has fulfilled 
all of its obligations under the contract, it is possible claims may be levied against the Company. The Company has assessed 
such possible claims as not probable.

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost and net realizable value. The costs of inventory involve estimates in determining 
the allocation of fixed and variable production overhead. These estimates involved include determination of normal production 
capacity and nature of expenses to be allocated. Additionally inventory is reviewed monthly to ensure the carrying value 
does not exceed net realizable value. If so, a write-down is recognized. The write-down may be reversed if the circumstances 
which caused it no longer exist. 

On  a  periodic  basis  the  Company  reviews  its  plant  capacity  and  estimates  the  portion  of  its  under-utilized  overhead 
expenditures.  The  Company  has  expensed  $7,004,000  of  overhead  costs  during  the  current  year  (December  31,  2018: 
$6,469,000) in respect of unutilized plant capacity. These amounts are included in the Consolidated Statements of Loss and 
Comprehensive Loss as costs of sales. 

The Company has entered into production contracts in the ordinary course of its business. The unavoidable cost of meeting 
the  obligations  under  certain  of  these  contracts  exceeds  the  associated  expected  future  net  benefits;  consequently,  an 
onerous contract provision has been recognized. The calculation of this provision involves the use of estimates including, but 
not limited to, program gross margin, and the effect of learning curves of production and the timing of achieving certain 
operational efficiencies. These actual results can vary significantly from these estimates with consequent variability in the 
amounts of the provision recorded. The onerous contract provision is calculated by taking the expected future costs that will 
be incurred under the contract and deducting any estimated revenues. The onerous contract provision is primarily due to a 
high cost structure and learning curves of production that cannot be recovered through current pricing of the associated 
contracts. The total onerous contract provision for the year ended December 31, 2019 is $251,000 (December 31, 2018: 
$1,930,000). 

•  While a formal claim has yet to be levied by the customer, the Company has provisioned for a claim asserted by a customer 

in the amount of $7,273,000 as at December 31, 2019 (December 31, 2018: $7,640,000). 

• 

• 

Right of use asset and lease liability: On January 1, 2019, the Company transitioned to IFRS 16 and recognized a right of 
use asset and lease liability. These values use judgement in determining lease terms such as extension option and discount 
rate used. In the case where incremental borrowing rate is used, the Company estimates the incremental borrowing rate 
based on the lease term, collateral assumptions, and the economic environment in which the lease is denominated. 

The company has provisioned USD$1,350,000 for a legal action due to certain employment practices at the Gardena facility.

6.  Capital Risk Management 

The Company’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard its ability to continue as a going concern and to provide an 
adequate return to shareholders, while satisfying other stakeholders. 

The Company includes capital stock in its definition of capital, as shown in the Company’s consolidated statements of financial 
position. 

The Company’s primary objective in its management of capital is to ensure that it has sufficient financial resources to fund ongoing 
operations and new program investment. In order to secure this capital, the Company may attempt to raise funds via issuance 
of debt and equity, or by securing strategic partners. 

The Company’s loan agreement with a Canadian Chartered Bank restricts the declaration or payment of any dividend. 

7.  Financial Risk Management 

The Company is exposed to certain financial risks including market risk, currency risk, credit risk, liquidity risk, interest rate risk 
and price risk. The note presents information about the Company’s risk to each of these risks; its objectives, policies and processes 
for measuring and managing risk. 

a)  Market Risk 

Market risk is the risk that changes in the market prices, such as foreign exchange rates and interest rates, will affect the 
Company’s  income  or  the  value  of  its  holdings  of  financial  instruments.  The  Company’s  policy  is  not  to  utilize  derivative 
financial  instruments  for  trading  or  speculative  purposes.  The  Company  may  utilize  derivative  instruments  in  the 
management of its foreign currency and interest rate exposures.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements 
For the year ended December 31, 2019 
(all figures in tables are expressed in thousands of Canadian dollars, except per share amounts) 

annual report 2019 

b)  Currency Risk  

Currency risk arises because the amount of the local currency receivable or payable for transactions denominated in foreign 
currencies  may  vary  due  to  changes  in  exchange  rate  (“transaction  exposures”)  and  because  the  non-Canadian  dollar 
denominated financial statements of the Company’s subsidiaries may vary on consolidation into the reporting currency of 
Canadian dollars (“translation exposures”). 

The Company sells a significant proportion of its products in US dollars at prices which are often established well in advance 
of manufacture and shipment dates. In addition, the Company purchases a significant proportion of its raw materials and 
components in US dollars at prices that are usually established at the order date. The Company’s operations are based in 
Canada and in the US. As a result of this, the Company is exposed to currency risk to the extent that fluctuations in exchange 
rates are experienced. The amount of foreign exchange gain recorded for the year ended December 31, 2019 is $843,000 
(December 31, 2018: $770,000 loss). 

The Company had the following US dollar denominated balances: 

AS AT DECEMBER 31 

Bank cash position 

Accounts receivable 

Accounts payable

62,924 

3,633 

With  other  variables  unchanged,  each  $0.10  strengthening  (weakening)  of  the  CAD  against  the  USD  would  result  in  an 
increase (decrease) of approximately $6,859,000 in net income for the year ended December 31, 2019 as a result of holding 
a net liability position in USD as at December 31, 2019. 

As  at  December  31,  2018,  a  $0.10  strengthening  (weakening)  of  the  CAD  against  the  USD  would  result  in  an  increase 
(decrease) of approximately $6,599,000 in net income for the year ended December 31, 2018 as a result of holding a net 
liability position in USD as at December 31, 2018. 

c)  Credit Risk 

Credit risk is the risk of a financial loss to the Company if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet 
its contractual obligation. The Company manages credit risk for trade and other receivables through a financial review of the 
credit worthiness of the prospective customer along with credit monitoring activities. The majority of the Company’s trade 
receivables  reside  with  Boeing  Commercial  Airplane  Group  (“Boeing”),  Boeing  Defence,  Space  &  Security  (“BDS”), 
Bombardier  Aerospace  (“Bombardier”),  BAE  Systems  (Operations)  Limited  (“BAE”),  Lockheed  Martin  (“LM”),  and  Subaru 
Corporation (“Subaru”). The maximum exposure to credit risk is represented by the amount of accounts receivable in the 
consolidated statements of financial position. 

As at the consolidated statements of financial position date 85.6% (December 31, 2018: 90.8%) of the Company’s trade 
accounts receivable are attributable to these customers. 

The Company is exposed to credit risk if counterparties to its trade receivables are unable to meet their obligations. The 
concentration of credit risk from its customers is minimized because the Company has an original equipment manufacturer 
and tier one aerospace customer base as at December 31, 2019. The customers are predominately large, well-capitalized, 
and  long  established  entities  with  a  low  risk  of  non-payment.  The  Company  regularly  monitors  its  credit  risk  and  credit 
exposure. 

The following table provides the change in allowance for doubtful accounts for trade receivables:

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Company 
seeks to manage liquidity risk through the management of its capital structure and financial leverage. 

Accounts payable and accrued liabilities are all due within the next twelve months. Term debt repayments are as outlined in 
note 21.

LIBOR Rate plus 3.00% per annum 

Interest rate for advances made on the additional USD$45,000,000 borrowing capacity up to USD$68,000,000.

• 

RBP plus 0.00% per annum 

RBUSBR plus 0.00% per annum 

BA Equivalent Rate plus 0.875% per annum 

LIBOR Rate plus 0.875% per annum 

There is uncertainty as to the continued use of LIBOR in the future. LIBOR is the subject of recent national, international and 
other regulatory guidance and proposals for reform. These reforms and other pressures may cause LIBOR to be eliminated 
or to perform differently than in the past. The consequences of these developments cannot be entirely predicted but could 
include an increase in the cost of our variable rate indebtedness and obligations. 

Drawdown under the USD$45,000,000 additional borrowing capacity is supported by a Guarantee provided by a Guarantor. 
Panta Holdings B.V. provided guarantee to the Guarantor in the maximum payment of USD$10,000,000 if the bank draws 
on the Guarantee in whole or in part. 

The Company will provide the Guarantor, as consideration for the Guarantee, a fee equal to 5.375% of the weighted average 
outstanding balance of the guaranteed portion over each full twelve (12) month period commencing on the funding date 
plus,  for  the  partial  year  thereafter,  5.375%  of  the  weighted  average  outstanding  balance  of  the  guaranteed  portion 
multiplied by the number of days in the partial year divided by three hundred sixty (360). The fee will be payable on the 
maturity date. 

The maximum operating line of credit availability is $85,331,000 (USD $65,700,000) of which $84,661,000 is utilized as at 
December 31, 2019 (December 31, 2018: $85,840,000). The Company lowers interest rate costs by managing utilization of 
the operating lines of credit to the lowest amount practical. For the year ended December 31, 2019, with other variables 
unchanged, a 1% change in the base borrowing rate would have an $847,000 (December 31, 2018: $858,000) impact on 
net earnings and cash flow. Based on net collateral provided to its bank, the Company is able to draw up to an additional 
$335,000  (USD  $258,000)  on  its  operating  line  of  credit  as  at  December  31,  2019  (December  31,  2018:  $1,059,000 
(USD$776,000)). As at the date of this report the Company is able to draw up to an additional $21,000 (USD $16,000) (note 
16) on its operating line of credit. 

The Company primarily finances the purchase of long-lived assets at fixed interest rates. 

f) 

Price Risk 

Certain of the Company’s sales contracts contain derivative financial instruments to reduce exposure to price risk associated 
with  its  revenues.  The  price  adjustment  clause  within  these  sales  contracts  was  not  recorded  as  it  does  not  produce  a 
significant amount to be recorded. 

g)  Financial Assets and Liabilities by Category 

Categories of financial instruments 

Under IFRS, financial instruments are classified into one of the following categories: financial assets at fair value through 
other comprehensive income and fair value through profit and loss, financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, 
and other financial liabilities and financial assets at amortized cost.

The Company’s financial assets recorded at fair value on the consolidated statements of financial position have been categorized 
into three categories based on a fair value hierarchy. Fair value of assets and liabilities included in Level 1 are determined by 
reference to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities. Assets and liabilities in Level 2 include valuations 
using inputs other than the quoted prices for which all significant inputs are based on observable market data, either directly or 
indirectly. Level 3 valuations are based on inputs that are not based on observable market data. 

The  fair  value  hierarchy  requires  the  use  of  observable  market  inputs  whenever  such  inputs  exist.  A  financial  instrument  is 
classified to the lowest level of the hierarchy for which a significant input has been considered in measuring fair value.

revenue recognition is utilized and revenue recognized exceeds the amount billed to the customer, and right to payment is not 
just subject to the passage of time. Amounts may not exceed their net realizable value. Contract Assets are released when the 
customer is invoiced and is recorded to accounts receivable. Contract assets are current in nature. 

The contract assets are pledged as security under the Company’s operating line of credit (note 16).

16.  Bank Indebtedness 

On  November  15,  2019,  the  Company  entered  into  a  loan  agreement  to  expand  its  operating  credit  facility  with  a  Canadian 
Chartered Bank. This loan agreement amends, restates and replaces the loan agreements entered into on September 27, 2012 
and subsequently on May 26, 2017. The loan agreement extends the maturity to June 30, 2021.  

•  Maximum availability under the Loan agreement cannot exceed USD $68,000,000 less USD $2,300,000 until June 30, 2021. 
Drawdowns under the USD$45,000,000 borrowing capacity are supported by a major and material customer of the Company 
(the  “Guarantor”)  by  way  of  a  guarantee  (the  “Guarantee”).  On  November  15,  2019,  Panta  Holdings  B.V.,  the  holding 
company  of  Panta  Canada  B.V.  which  is  Avcorp’s  majority  shareholder,  entered  into  a  guarantee  agreement  with  the 
Guarantor. Pursuant to the guarantee agreement, Panta Holdings B.V. provided guarantee to the Guarantor in the maximum 
payment of USD$10,000,000 if the bank draws on the Guarantee in whole or in part. 

• 

• 

Interest rate for advances made up to the maximum of the allowable borrowing base of USD$23,000,000 revolving loan less 
USD$2,300,000: 

• 

• 

• 

• 

Royal Bank Prime (“RBP”) plus 1.50% per annum 

Royal Bank US Base Rate (“RBUSBR”) plus 1.50% per annum 

Banker’s Acceptance (“BA”) Equivalent Rate plus 3.00% per annum 

LIBOR Rate plus 3.00% per annum 

Interest rate for advances made on the additional USD$45,000,000 borrowing capacity up to USD$68,000,000. 

• 

• 

• 

• 

• 

RBP plus 0.00% per annum 

RBUSBR plus 0.00% per annum 

BA Equivalent Rate plus 0.875% per annum 

LIBOR Rate plus 0.875% per annum 

Pursuant to the terms of the amending loan agreement, the Company is required to meet certain financial covenants 
beginning in Q1 2020. In the event that the Company fails to meet the covenants, Panta Holdings B.V. and Panta Canada 
B.V. shall be entitled to make cash injections for a fiscal quarter by way of loan or equity investment in Avcorp. Such 
injections will be considered a positive addition to the calculation of the financial metrics for the purposes of determining 
compliance with the covenants. In addition, the Company will have a cure period measured cumulatively for the failed 
quarter and the subsequent quarter. There is uncertainty as to the ability of the company to meet its financial covenants 
without the additional financial support from Panta Holdings B.V. and Panta Canada B.V. 

• 

On February 6, 2020, the Company entered into an amendment to its existing loan agreement with a Canadian Chartered 
Bank whereby the following amendments were made: 

• 

The threshold of the financial covenants for the first and second fiscal quarters for the 2020 fiscal year were amended 
in favor of the Company. 

The loan agreement is subject to the existing security agreements with a Canadian Chartered Bank and with its Guarantor. This 
debt facility is secured by a charge and specific registration over all of the assets of the Company. 

The Company will provide the Guarantor, as consideration for the Guarantee, a fee equal to 5.375% of the weighted average 
outstanding balance of the guaranteed portion over each full twelve (12) month period commencing on the funding date plus, for 
the  partial  year thereafter,  5.375%  of  the weighted average outstanding  balance  of the  guaranteed portion  multiplied  by  the 
number of days in the partial year divided by three hundred sixty (360). The fee will be payable on the maturity date.  

The Company ended the year with bank operating line utilization of $84,661,000 offset by $4,316,000 cash compared to utilization 
of  $85,840,000  with  $2,051,000  cash  on  hand  as  at  December  31,  2018.  Based  on  net  collateral  provided  to  its  bank,  the 
Company is able to draw up to an additional $335,000 (USD$258,000) on its operating line of credit as at December 31, 2019 
(December 31, 2018: $1,059,000 (USD$776,000)). As at the date of this report the Company is able to draw up to an additional 
$21,000 (USD$16,000) on its operating line of credit. 

The Company recorded a net loss on modification of bank indebtedness of $906,000 (2018: $Nil) as a result of executing the 
amending agreement on November 15, 2019.

The carrying amount of accounts receivable pledged as security under the Company’s operating line of credit as at December 31, 
2019  is  $13,121,000  (December  31,  2018:  $13,480,000).  The  inventory  and  contract  asset  pledged  as  security  under  the 
Company’s operating line of credit as at December 31, 2019 is $22,185,000 (December 31, 2018: $22,017,000). 

17.  Customer advance 

On December 18, 2015, in conjunction with the acquisition of Hitco, the Company assumed a customer advance for pre-funded 
product deliveries. The customer advance is re-paid as the Company delivers to the customer. In the event that cancellation, 
termination, or assignment of the statement of work occurs earlier than December 31, 2019, the customer shall have the right 
to recover from the Company within 120 days of such an event the unamortized portion of the cash advance; such event occurred 
during the third quarter 2018. The customer advance is subject to an access and security agreement along with a general security 
agreement entered into with the Company’s bank and a customer.  

During the third quarter 2018, production requirements associated with the unfavourable contract were redirected to another 
supplier, giving rise to the full amortization of the unfavourable contract liability of $39,982,000 (note 20), full amortization of 
the associated onerous contract provision of $2,728,000 (note 22) and revaluation of the customer advance to its unamortized 
face value of $1,240,000. This has been recorded in 2018 as a net contract modification in the amount of $41,470,000.  

Uncertainties exist as to the ultimate outcome of a formal contract termination. While the Company believes that it has fulfilled 
all of its obligations under the contract, it is possible claims may be levied against the Company. The Company has assessed such 
possible claims as not probable.  

The  customer  advance  was  recorded  at  its  fair  value  on  December  18,  2015  in  the  amount  of  $18,953,000.  The  Company 
amortized into revenue $nil of the customer advance during the year ended December 31, 2019. The remaining unamortized 
customer advance has been recorded at its face value to reflect the amount due and is non-interest bearing. The face value of 
the  unamortized  portion  of  the  customer  advance  as  at  December  31,  2019  is  USD$4,643,000  (December  31,  2018  is 
USD$4,643,000).

Certain  program  inventories  have  been  funded  by  a  customer,  whereby  the  associated  deferred  program  revenues  will  be 
recognized as revenue upon delivery of units of production. 

Additionally,  customers  have  funded  non-recurring  costs  incurred  during  the  introduction  of  new  production  programs.  These 
costs are deferred as development costs and will be amortized to income, on a units-of-production basis over the expected life of 
the programs, in conjunction with the associated deferred revenue upon commencement of production.  

20.  Unfavourable Contracts Liability 

On December 18, 2015, in conjunction with the acquisition of Hitco, the Company assumed an unfavourable contract liability on 
certain long-term revenue contracts for which unavoidable costs are expected to exceed the corresponding revenues earned. The 
unfavourable contract liability is amortized into income on a units-of-production basis over the expected life of the contracts which 
are contracted up to December 31, 2019 and as costs are incurred. 

During 2018 production requirements associated with the unfavourable contract were redirected to another supplier, giving rise 
to the full amortization of the unfavourable contract liability into income. This has been recorded in Consolidated Statements of 
Income and Comprehensive Income as a contract modification in the amount of $39,982,000. 

Uncertainties exist as to the ultimate outcome of a formal contract termination. While the Company believes that it has fulfilled 
all of its obligations under the contract, it is possible claims may be levied against the Company. The Company has assessed such 
possible claims as not probable.  

As  at  December  31,  2019,  the  remaining  unamortized  unfavourable  contract  liability  amounted  to  $Nil  (December  31,  2018: 
$Nil).

There are various lease liabilities that have a weighted average interest rate of 9.0% per annum (2018: 8.98%). The leases 
are secured by way of a charge against specific assets. The leases are repayable in installments over periods up to 10 years.

On August 24, 2018, Avcorp entered into a non-revolving term loan agreement (“2018 Panta loan”) with Panta Canada B.V. 
(“Panta”) in the principal amount of USD$3,500,000.  

On  November  15,  2019,  the  Company  entered  into  a  standby  credit  facility  agreement  (“2019  Panta  Loan”)  with  Panta 
Canada  B.V  which  amended  and  restated  the  2018  Panta  Loan,  as  well  as  securing  an  additional  $4,546,000 
(USD$3,500,000). As at December 31, 2019, the company had drawn $325,000 (USD $250,000) on this 2019 Panta Loan.  

Panta Canada B.V. is Avcorp’s majority shareholder owning approximately 71.2% of the issued and outstanding common 
shares. Panta Canada B.V. is wholly owned by Panta Holdings B.V. Both companies are incorporated in The Netherlands and 
Mr. Jaap Rosen Jacobson, a director of Avcorp, is the sole shareholder of Panta Holdings B.V. 

• 

• 

• 

• 

• 

The loan is subordinated to existing security agreements, except that in the event that Avcorp sells its wholly-owned 
subsidiary,  Comtek  Advanced  Structures  Ltd.,  Avcorp  shall  pay  to  Panta  an  amount  up  to  the  indebtedness  then 
outstanding under the loan, subject to any priority payment required by the bank indebtedness and provided there does 
not then exist an event of default under the Senior Loan Agreement. 

The loan bears interest at the aggregate rate of interest, expressed as an annual rate, of the U.S. Base Rate of Royal 
Bank of Canada (“RBUSBR”) plus a margin of 5.375% per annum which shall accrue and not be compounded until the 
maturity  date. If either  an event  of  default  occurs  and  is  continuing  or  the  indebtedness  is not  repaid  in  full  on  the 
maturity  date,  the  interest  rate  in  such  period  shall  increase  to  the  rate  of  15%  per  annum  and  all  outstanding 
indebtedness, including unpaid interest, shall continue to accrue interest at such increased rate of interest from and 
after the maturity date until paid in full.  

The maturity date is the earlier of: (i) the date upon which, for any reason, the outstanding principal balance of the 
operating credit facility established under the Senior Loan Agreement becomes due and owing; (ii) June 30, 2023; and 
(iii)  the  date  on  which  there  is  an  acceleration  of  the  loan  as  a  result  of  a  written  demand  by  Panta  following  the 
occurrence and during the continuance of an uncured event of default. 

Upon the happening of any event of default, Panta may at its option: (i) declare that the indebtedness has become 
immediately due and payable; and (ii) declare that the indebtedness has become immediately due and payable and 
elect to convert all or part of the indebtedness into common shares of Avcorp at an exercise price equivalent to the then 
market price at the time of conversion which shall not exceed $0.15 per common share. 

As at December 31, 2019, the Company had drawn $328,000 (USD$250,000) on the 2019 Panta Loan.

On  March  13,  2015,  the  Company  completed  a  secured  term  loan  with  a  principal  amount  of  $450,000.  The  Company 
received full funding from the loan on March 26, 2015. The purpose of the loan was to finance machinery and equipment 
required for new production programs at its Burlington ON facility. 

The term loan has been provided by a Canadian Chartered Bank. The loan has a four-year term; it is secured by a general 
security agreement constituting a first ranking security interest in all personal property of the Company and a first ranking 
and specific interest in the equipment financed. Export Development Canada (“EDC”) has guaranteed 50% of the aggregate 
borrowings outstanding under the loan. The fee associated to the guarantee provided by EDC is equal to 3% of 50% of the 
outstanding loan amount. Interest is calculated and paid monthly at a rate of bank prime plus 1%. The loan will be repaid 
over  48  months  by  way  of  blended  principal  and  interest  payments.  The  balance  outstanding  for  this  term  loan  as  at 
December 31, 2019 is $nil (December 31, 2018: $30,000). 

d)  SADI 

On April 23, 2014, the Company secured funding for certain non-recurring expenditures and manufacturing equipment. The 
Government of Canada under the Strategic Aerospace and Defence Initiative (“SADI”) program has committed up to $4.4 
million for funding of program eligible costs. The contribution amount represents 40% funding for eligible costs. 

The contribution agreement has the following terms: 

• 

• 

• 

The maximum amount to be repaid by the Company is 1.5 times the amount contributed by the Government of Canada; 

Annual repayments are to occur over a 15-year term, commencing four months following the 2018 fiscal year end with 
subsequent annual repayments to be paid within four months following the Company’s then fiscal year ends; and 

Amounts repayable are unsecured. 

$3,573,000 was drawn on this facility as at December 31, 2019 (December 31, 2018: $2,902,000). The amounts owing, 
when due, are repayable to the Industrial Technologies Office.

The  Company  entered  into  production  contracts  in  the  ordinary  course  of  business.  The  unavoidable  costs  of  meeting  the 
obligations under certain of these contracts exceed the associated expected future net benefits; consequently, an onerous contract 
provision has been recognized. The calculation of this provision involves the use of estimates. The onerous contract provision is 
calculated by taking the expected future costs that will be incurred under the contracts and deducting any estimated revenues. 
The onerous contract provision for the year ended December 31, 2019 is $251,000 (December 31, 2018: $1,930,000).

25.  Stock Based Compensation 

The Company records compensation expense for the fair value of the stock options granted under its incentive stock option plan 
using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. This model determines the fair value of stock options granted and amortizes it to 
earnings over the vesting period. 

No stock option was granted in the year ended December 31, 2019. Fair value of 4,710,500 options granted during the year 
ended December 31, 2018 was $204,000. 

The assumptions used in the valuation of stock options for the year ended December 31, 2018 were as follows: 

Number of options 

Risk free rate (%) 

Dividend yield (%)  

Expected Lives (years)  

Volatility (%) 

2018 

4,710,500 options 

2.35 

- 

7.65 

103.11 

The amount of stock-based compensation expense, for options granted in prior periods, amortized to earnings during the year 
ended  December  31,  2019  was  $76,000  (2018:  $195,000).  Stock-based  compensation  expense  has  been  included  in  the 
Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss) and Comprehensive Income (Loss) as administrative and general expenses. 

During the year ended, no stock options was forfeited. (December 31, 2018: 13,410,000 stock options were forfeited). 

The Black-Scholes option-pricing model used by the Company to calculate option values was developed to estimate the fair value 
of  freely  tradeable,  fully  transferable  options  without  vesting  restrictions,  which  significantly  differ  from  the  Company’s  stock 
option  awards.  Changes  in  the  subjective  input  assumptions  can  materially  affect  the  fair  value  estimate,  and  therefore,  the 
existing models do not necessarily provide a reliable, single measure of the fair value of options granted by the Company. 

26.  Defined Contribution Plan 

The total cost recognized and paid for the Company’s defined contribution plans is as follows. 

FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31 

Defined contribution plan 

2019 

$1,423 

2018 

$1,376 

The Company’s contribution to the plan is calculated on a percentage of employee wages. The range of percentages is 1.5% to 
9.5%.  The  plan  is  available  to  all  employees.  Defined  contribution  plan  expenses  have  been  included  in  the  Consolidated 
Statements of Income (Loss) and Comprehensive Income (Loss) as administrative and general expenses and cost of sales. 

27.  Net Claims 

On January 25, 2019, the Company and its subsidiary Avcorp Composite Fabrication Inc. (the “Avcorp Parties”) entered into an 
agreement with HITCO Carbon Composites, Inc., SGL Carbon, LLC, and SGL Carbon SE (the “SGL parties”) and a customer to 
settle  all  claims  related  to  alleged  deficiencies  in  HITCO’s  non-destructive  inspection  processes  and  other  business  matters 
including a lease renewal and collection of a previously provisioned account receivable in exchange for gross consideration of 
USD$12,000,000 from the SGL parties to Avcorp and mutual releases among the Avcorp Parties, SGL Parties and a customer 
related to the acquisition. The net cash payment received totaled USD$10,810,000. The net claim settlement resulted in a gain 
of $19,759,000, including a lease renewal and collection of previously provisioned accounts receivable. 

The  Company  has  provisioned  USD  $1,350,000  for  a  legal  action  in  the  second  quarter  of  2019  due  to  certain  employment 
practices at its Gardena facility. 

On August 20, 2018, the Company entered into a settlement agreement with a customer, in the amount of $2,219,000, which 
provided  the  Company  a  net  claim  settlement  in  satisfaction  of  existing  and  potential  claims,  causes  of  action,  and  disputes 
between the Company and its customer. 

The Company has provisioned for a claim asserted by a customer in the amount of $7,273,000.

The provision for income tax (recovery) expense is based on the combined Canadian federal and provincial annual income tax 
rate expected for the full financial year of 27%. 

IAS 12, Income Taxes, states that the tax effects of changes in tax laws must be recognized in the period in which the law is 
enacted or substantively enacted.  IAS 12 further requires deferred income tax assets and liabilities to be measured at the enacted 
or substantively enacted tax rate expected to apply when temporary differences are to be realized or settled. Thus, at the date 
of enactment, the Company’s deferred income taxes were re-measured based upon the new tax rate. The change in deferred 
income taxes is generally recorded as a non-cash re-measurement adjustment to earnings. 

Deferred income tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences, unused tax losses, and unused tax credits to the 
extent that the realization of the related tax benefit through future taxable profits is probable. The Company did not recognize 
deferred  income  tax  assets  of  $30,830,000  (2018:  $28,897,000)  in  respect  of  losses  amounting  to  $69,781,000  (2018: 
$59,362,000) which include foreign losses of $37,429,000 (2018: $30,830,000) that will expire beginning in 2035 through 2037 
(except U.S. Net Operating Losses from fiscal 2018 onwards of $19,170,000 that carryforward indefinitely), unclaimed research 
and development costs of $11,173,000 (2018: $11,173,000) and capital losses of $830,000 (2018: $830,000) with no expiry, 
investment tax credits of $1,109,000 (2018: $1,814,000) which expire beginning in 2022 through 2037, and deductible temporary 
differences of $29,428,000 (2018: $30,829,000). 

The company has recognized $Nil (2018: $Nil) in deferred income tax liabilities in relation to the fair value of the intangible lease. 

Income tax expense reported differs from the amount computed by applying the combined Canadian federal and provincial income 
tax rates, applicable to Avcorp Industries Inc., to the income (loss) before taxes due to the following:
