OPERATIONS
FOURTH QUARTER RESULTS
SALES
Net sales, for the three months ended December 31, 2011 were $22,010,000, an increase of 4.8%
from net sales of $21,011,000 in the third quarter of 2011. The growth was all from the US market (up
7.1% in USD and with the translation impact to CDN it was up 11.8%). The Canadian markets
remained flat while we saw a slight decline in the UK. Net sales for the current quarter were up 14.2%
compared to net sales of $19,270,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2010. In this case all
our major markets were up. Canada was up 8.5% while the US was up 19.6% in USD and with
translation impact to CDN it was up 20.7%.
GROSS PROFIT
Gross profit for the fourth quarter of 2011 was 27.3% of net sales compared to 25.6% in the third
quarter of 2011. The Company holds its factory physical inventory count in November of each year and
this causes production levels to drop in the quarter. This impact was offset with a favorable movement
of the USD from a third quarter average of 1 USD = $0.98 CDN to a fourth quarter average of 1 USD =
$1.02 CDN. We have also seen improvement in employee productivity as new hires complete their
training. Gross profits of 27.3% are down 1.1% from the fourth quarter 2010 level of 28.4%. The
production growth we have seen in 2011 has been met with an approximate 16% increase in
production associates at our Guelph facility. We have experienced lower productivity as the new
associates are trained and production lines are expanded to accommodate the growth.
SELLING, DISTRIBUTION, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE, RESEARCH AND
DEVELOPMENT (“R&D”) EXPENSES AND NET GAIN ON SALE OF PROPERTY, PLANT
AND EQUIPMENT
Fourth quarter selling and distribution, general and administration and R&D expenses of $5,297,000
were 24.1% of net sales for the three months ended December 31, 2011, compared with an expense
of $4,947,000 in the previous quarter that was 23.5% of net sales and $4,564,000 which was 23.7% of
net sales in the fourth quarter of 2010. The growth in sales has increased our commissions and logistic
expenses. In 2011, additional inventory storage space was leased increasing quarterly expenses by
approximately $35,000.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
Overall results from operating activities of $708,000 (3.2% of net sales) is up from the prior quarter of
$430,000 (2.0% of net sales) and down from the 2010 fourth quarter amount of $899,000 (4.7% of net
sales).
INTEREST
Fourth quarter interest expense of $115,000 was down 3.4% from the third quarter expense of
$119,000 and up 2.7% from the comparable prior year fourth quarter of $112,000.
FOREIGN EXCHANGE TRANSACTIONAL IMPACT
This quarter, the Company recognized a gain on transactional foreign exchange of $67,000 compared
to a gain of $15,000 in the three months ended December 31, 2010.
INCOME TAX EXPENSE
Fourth quarter year end adjustments to true up to the effective 2011 tax rate netted a tax pickup of
$27,000 compared with tax expense of $218,000 (29.3% of income before tax) in the fourth quarter of
2010.
INCOME FOR THE PERIOD
Income for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2011 was $600,000 (2.7% of net sales) this is the
same level of return on net sales as that of the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2010 ($525,000).
FOREIGN EXCHANGE TRANSLATION OF FOREIGN OPERATIONS
The translation adjustment for the fourth quarter was a loss of $496,000 compared to a translation loss
of $188,000 in the fourth quarter of 2010. The fourth quarter loss was primarily caused by the US dollar
and British Pound dropping from a third quarter close of $1.04 CDN = $1.00 US to a year end close of
$1.017 CDN = $1.00 US and the British pound third quarter close of $1.63 CDN = $1.00 GBP to a year
end close of $1.58 CDN = $1.00 GBP.
TOTAL COMPREHENSIVE INCOME
Comprehensive income for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2011 was $104,000 (0.5% of net
sales) down from the 3 months ended December 31, 2010 of $337,000 (1.7% of net sales).

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
QUARTERLY INFORMATION
FULL YEAR RESULTS
SALES
Net sales of $85,487,000 in 2011 were up 8.8% from net sales of $78,587,000 reported in 2010. Net
sales were up just over 12% in both Canada and the USA but the impact of currency dropped the USA
increase to just under 8%. The average exchange rate from US to CDN in 2010 was $1.03 CDN =
$1.00 US and in 2011 the average rate was $0.99 CDN = $1.00 US. The UK growth was close to
10.0%.
GROSS PROFIT
In 2011, average gross profit was 27.0% of net sales compared to 28.3% gross profit level achieved in
2010. Foreign exchange is the primary cause for the reduced margins. Approximately 50% of our sales
are to the USA and in USD. The average exchange rate between USA and Canada noted above fell
4%. As noted above, in 2010, the average exchange rate was $1.03. In 2011, the average exchange
rate was running close to $0.99.

ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES
As described in the notes to the financial statements (note 18), the Company has one site which has
environmental issues.
Glen Ewing Properties is a 50% co-tenancy with Hammond Power Solutions Inc. (“HPSI”) of the
vacant property located at 2 Glen Road, Georgetown. A quantity of diesel oil, which is believed to be
related to site operations of prior owners, was discovered in 2000 and has been the focus of
investigations by our environmental consultant. The contamination does not result from the normal
operations of the Company. In December 2001, the adjoining property owner (whose lands were at
one time part of the same historical operation as 2 Glen Road) issued a statement of claim, claiming
damages from HMCL and HPSI for the historical contamination found on its property (note 11 and note
25). In August of 2009, the adjoining property owner, HMCL and HPSI (the parties) signed a settlement
outlining how the parties will work together on future management, including the remediation and
monitoring of the Substances of Interest on the Properties and the South Lands. The parties also
agreed on an approach to resolve future Ministry of the Environment or other governmental claims,

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
orders, directions, prosecutions, tickets, and environmental penalties. As part of this settlement all of
the parties dropped their civil actions against each other.
HMCL and HPSI, as co-tenants, have been working co-operatively with the adjacent property owner
and its environmental consultant, under the direction of the MOE, in order to evaluate the extent of the
contamination and develop an appropriate joint remediation plan for both sites. Ongoing investigations
have also indicated that both the co-tenancy‟s and the adjacent owner‟s sites have been impacted by
historical solvent usage. These impacts have been incorporated into the joint remediation plan.
HMCL‟s share of the costs for legal and consulting work for the year 2011 related to this property was
$117,000 (2010 - $75,000). The parties started remediation in October 2009. The Company is satisfied
that the best estimate available for the Company‟s remaining portion of the environmental remediation
costs for this site is $250,000 (December 31, 2010 - $260,000) with $85,000 (2010 - $140,000)
presented as a current liability in the year-end financial statements.
Other than the above site, Management is not aware of any unusual or significant issues.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES
In the preparation of the consolidated financial statements, it is necessary for management to make
some estimates and judgments that affect reported amounts in the financial statements and related
disclosure of contingencies. Management determines these estimates using historical experience,
assumptions and rationale that are believed to be reasonable in the circumstances. The Company
evaluates these on an ongoing basis in order to form the judgment for the carrying value of certain
assets and liabilities.
Specifically, the Company has assessed the property valuations related to the sites noted under
“Environmental Issues” in this MD&A and in the notes to the financial statements (notes 25). Based on
this analysis, it is management‟s judgment that the reported carrying values of these properties are
reasonable.
The value of goodwill related to the Company‟s U.K. operations was reviewed by management and
tested for impairment in accordance with the guidelines set out in International Accounting Standard
36. Based on this analysis, it is management‟s judgment that the reported carrying value for goodwill is
not impaired.
The environmental liability (note 25) has been established based on an analysis of cost estimates
related to expected activities required for active remediation for Glen Ewing Properties. It is
management‟s judgment that the reported carrying value for this liability, based on discounted cash
flows over five years, is a reasonable estimate of the Company‟s share of these costs given information
available at this time, but acknowledges that this estimate is subject to future uncertainties.
Although these estimates, which form the basis for carrying values of reported assets, liabilities,
revenues and expenses, are based on reasonable assumptions, it should be noted that actual results
may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
TRANSITION TO INTERNATIONAL FINANCIAL REPORTING STANDARDS (IFRS)
In February 2008, the Accounting Standards Board of the CICA affirmed its intention to replace
Canadian GAAP with IFRS. Although IFRS uses a conceptual framework similar to Canadian GAAP,
differences in accounting policies and additional required disclosures will need to be addressed. The
Company adopted IFRS commencing the first quarter reporting of 2011 with comparative data from
2010. This is the first annual set of financial statements being issued under IFRS.
The Company‟s IFRS transition project is completed. The project was completed in 3 phases. Phase
One - Scoping and Diagnostics, Phase Two - Analysis and Development and Phase Three -
Implementation and Review.
Phase One - Scoping and Diagnostics:
This phase consisted of a high-level assessment to identify key areas of Canadian GAAP and IFRS
differences that were most likely to impact the Company. This assessment was completed by
management and external advisors in the fourth quarter of 2008 and was integral in prioritizing
subsequent steps. The highest impact areas identified at this time was property, plant, and equipment;
provisions and contingencies; impairment; taxes; consolidation and lease accounting. Accounting
policies have been selected.
Phase Two – Analysis and Diagnostics:
This phase involved the detailed assessment, from an accounting, reporting and business perspective,
of the changes that will be caused by the conversion to IFRS. During this phase, any applicable
accounting policy choices permissible under IFRS were assessed for the most appropriate application.
Areas identified in Phase One were analyzed in detail to assess if any changes to policy were required
and what, if any, impact this will have. During this phase, our key finance and operational staff were
trained on IFRS. Management and Audit Committee members were educated regarding IFRS
implications. This phase was substantially completed in the fourth quarter of 2009. IFRS education is
now an ongoing activity.
Phase Three – Implementation and Review:
This phase involved executing the work completed in phase two by making changes to business and
accounting processes and supporting information systems. It also included the review of all internal
controls that may have been impacted by any of the changes. 2010 comparative data was collected for
comparative disclosure which started in the first quarter of 2011.
Results of the Detailed Gap Assessment
Recognition and Measurement
The Company identified the following major areas, as outlined below, with differences between
Canadian GAAP accounting policies and those applied in preparing IFRS financial statements.
Accounting policy choices and IFRS 1 options selected were reviewed by the Steering Committee and
Audit Committee. Impacts and accounting policy choice impacts are reflected in the annual
consolidated financial statements and are documented in note 27.
Annual Report 2011 13
MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
Property, Plant and Equipment (“PP&E”)
Canadian GAAP requires the separation of components with different useful lives when separable and
practicable, whereas IFRS, which is more explicit, requires separation based on its cost relative to the
total cost of the asset. The detailed assessment showed changes required under IFRS did not have a
significant impact on the consolidated financial statements.
Impairments
Impairment testing of PP&E is based on a two-step approach under current Canadian GAAP when
circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. The first step requires a
comparison of the carrying amount of the asset(s) to the expected undiscounted cash flows for the
asset(s). If the carrying amount is not recoverable then the second step compares the fair value of the
asset(s) to the carrying value of the asset(s) to determine if there is an impairment loss. IFRS uses a
one-step approach, if any indication of impairment exists, which compares the recoverable amount of
the asset with the carrying value of the asset. The recoverable amount is the higher of the fair value
and value-in-use which is calculated using discounted cash flows.
In addition, IAS 36 Impairment of Assets requires, under certain circumstances, the reversal of
previous impairments, which is not allowed under current Canadian GAAP.
Goodwill impairment testing is conducted at a more granular level known as the “cash generating unit”
under IFRS as compared to the testing at a “reporting unit” level for Canadian GAAP. This difference
did not have a material impact for the Company.
The Company did not see any material changes to the results of its impairment tests for PP&E
previously performed under Canadian GAAP when it transitioned to IFRS.
Foreign Currency Translation
Under Canadian GAAP, the Company separates self-sustaining operations from integrated operations.
The non-monetary assets of self-sustaining operations are translated at the current rate whereas the
non-monetary assets of integrated operations are translated at historic rates. Unlike Canadian GAAP,
IFRS does not distinguish between the types of foreign operations (i.e. integrated vs. self-sustaining)
and requires that non-monetary assets for all entities are translated at the current rate at the balance
sheet date where a difference in functional currencies exists.
The Company determined that the difference decreased property, plant and equipment and decreased
retained earnings at transition by $287,254. During 2010 and 2011, this also created an impact to
property, plant and equipment, depreciation expense, foreign exchange expense and cumulative
translation adjustments.
14 Hammond Manufacturing Company Limited
www.hammondmfg.com
MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
Presentation Reclassifications
Cumulative Translation Adjustment
As elected under IFRS 1, the Company reset all cumulative translation gains and losses to zero with
the offset to be recorded in opening retained earnings at the date of transition. If, subsequent to
adoption, a foreign operation is disposed of, the translation differences that arose before the date of
transition to IFRS shall be excluded from the gain or loss on disposal.
Non-Controlling Interests
The Company has elected to early adopt, as of January 1, 2010, the CICA Handbook Section 1582,
Business Combinations (“Section 1582”), Section 1601, Consolidated Financial Statements (“Section
1601”) and Section 1602, Non-Controlling Interest (“Section 1602”). These Handbook Sections are
converged with IFRS and, as a result of the early adoption, there are no presentation differences at
transition.
Deferred Income Tax
Under Canadian GAAP, income tax assets and liabilities are classified as current and non-current,
depending on the classifications of the assets or liabilities to which they relate. Under IFRS, deferred
tax is not classified into current and non-current. On transition, the Company reclassified current future
income tax assets/liabilities as non-current deferred tax assets/liabilities.
The impact on the opening January 1, 2010 balance sheet resulted in $224,000 of current future
income tax assets being reclassified to non-current liabilities deferred tax liabilities.
Provisions
Unlike Canadian GAAP, IFRS requires provisions to be separated from liabilities. IAS 37 defines a
provision as a liability of uncertain timing and amount. Provisions are recognized on the basis of a legal
or constructive obligation arising from a past event, if there is a probable outflow of resources and the
amount can be estimated reliably. Under IFRS, there can also be a lower threshold for recognition and
different measurement basis. On transition, the Company must separate provisions from accounts
payable and accrued liabilities either on the face of the balance sheet or in the notes.
IFRS 1 Considerations
On the transition date January 1, 2010, the Company was required to convert its opening financial
position to IFRS in accordance with IFRS 1. The Company was also required to restate its comparative
financial statements for annual and interim periods to reflect IFRS requirements. IFRS 1 grants
optional exemptions from the requirements of other IFRS where the cost of complying with them would
be likely to exceed the benefits to users of financial statements. This IFRS also requires mandatory
exceptions, which prohibit retrospective application of IFRS in some areas. The optional exemptions
listed below are elections made by the Company. Other optional exemptions not being considered to
be elected are not listed.
Mandatory Exceptions:
1. Estimates – Hindsight is not used to create or revise estimates. The estimates previously made by
the Company under Canadian GAAP will not be revised for application of IFRS, except where
necessary, to reflect any difference in accounting policies.
Annual Report 2011 15
MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
2. IAS 27 – Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements (“IAS 27”) - In accordance with IFRS
1, if a Company elects to apply IFRS 3 Business Combinations (“IFRS 3”) retrospectively, IAS 27
Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements must also be applied retrospectively.
The Company elected to apply IFRS 3 and IAS 27 prospectively.
Optional Exemptions Applied:
1. Business combinations – IFRS 1 provided the option to apply IFRS 3 (Revised) Business
Combinations, retrospectively or prospectively from the transition date. The retrospective basis would
require restatement of all business combinations that occurred prior to the transition date. The
Company elected not to retrospectively apply IFRS 3 to business combinations that occurred prior to its
transition date; therefore, such business combinations were not restated. Goodwill arising on such
business combinations before the transition date were not adjusted from the carrying value previously
determined under Canadian GAAP as a result of applying this exemption.
2. Leases – IFRIC 4 Determining whether an Arrangement contains a Lease (“IFRIC 4”) requires the
assessment of whether an arrangement contains a lease to be performed at the inception of the
arrangement. A first-time adopter may, instead, choose to apply IFRIC 4 on the basis of facts and
circumstances existing at the date of transition (i.e. prospective application).
The Company elected to apply the optional exemption under IFRS 1.
3. Currency translation differences – Retrospective application of IFRS would require the Company
to determine cumulative currency translation differences in accordance with IAS 21 The Effects of
Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates (“IAS 21”), from the date a subsidiary or equity method investee
was formed or acquired. IFRS 1 permits cumulative translation gains and losses to be reset to zero at
the transition date.
In accordance with IFRS 1, the Company elected to reset all cumulative translation gains and losses to
zero in opening retained earnings at the date of transition. Accordingly, retrospective restatement of
foreign currency translation adjustments was not performed.
4. Borrowing costs – IAS 23, Borrowing Costs (“IAS 23”), requires an entity to capitalize the
borrowing costs related to all qualifying assets. IFRS 1 allows an entity to choose an effective date for
which the commencement date for capitalization is on or after the date of transition to IFRS or an
earlier date chosen by the first –time adopter.
The Company elected to choose an effective date of January 1, 2010.
CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance that all relevant
information is gathered and reported to senior management on a timely basis so that appropriate
decisions can be made regarding public disclosure.
The purpose of internal controls over financial reporting as defined by the Canadian Securities
Administrators is to provide reasonable assurance that:
16 Hammond Manufacturing Company Limited
www.hammondmfg.com
MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
(i) financial statements prepared for external purposes are in accordance with the Company's
Generally Accepted Accounting Principles,
(ii) transactions are recorded as necessary to permit the preparation of financial statements, and
records are maintained in reasonable detail,
(iii) receipts and expenditures of the Company are made only in accordance with authorizations of
the Company's management and directors, and
(iv) unauthorized acquisitions, uses or dispositions of the Company's assets that could have a
material effect on the financial statements will be prevented or detected in order to prevent
material error in financial statements.
The Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer have caused management and other
employees to design, document and evaluate our disclosure controls and procedures and our internal
controls over financial reporting. An evaluation of the design and operating effectiveness of the
disclosure controls and internal controls over financial reporting was conducted as at December 31,
2011. The design and evaluation of internal controls was completed using the framework and criteria
established in "Internal Control – Integrated Framework" issued by the Committee of Sponsoring
Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on the evaluation, we have concluded that the
Company‟s disclosure controls, procedures and our internal controls over financial reporting provide
reasonable assurance that material information relating to the Company are made known to the
Company by others, particularly during the period in which the annual filings are being prepared, that
information required to be disclosed by the Company in its annual filings, interim filings or other reports
filed or submitted by it under securities legislation is recorded, processed, summarized and reported
within the time periods specified in securities legislation, and reasonable assurance regarding the
reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in
accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles.
RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES
As with most businesses, the Company is subject to a number of market place, industry and economic
related business risks, which could have some material impact on our operating results.
These risks include:
• The cyclical effects, unpredictability and volatility of market driven commodity costs, raw materials
such as copper and steel pricing and supply and demand;
• A significant, unexpected change in the global demand for resources;
• The variability of the Canadian dollar versus the US dollar;
• Economic slowdown in the US and Canada;
• Rising interest rates;
• Trade restrictions;
• Labour costs and labour relations;
• Competition; and
• Global political unrest.
The Company continuously works to minimize the negative impact of these risks and strengthen its
position through diversification of its core business, market channel expansion, geographic diversity of
its operations and business hedging strategies. There are, however, several risks that deserve
particular attention.
Annual Report 2011 17
MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
Key Personnel
The Company is dependent on the experience and industry knowledge of its executive officers and
other key employees to execute its business plan. If the Company were to experience a substantial
turnover in its leadership or other key employees, business results from operations and financial
condition could be materially adversely affected.
Commodity Prices
An area that has had a definite effect on the Company‟s costs and earnings is the cyclical effects and
unprecedented market cost pressures of copper commodity and steel pricing in the global market. Due
to this unpredictability and volatility, particularly with copper pricing, the Company does not currently
utilize future contracts. Strategic supply line agreements and alliances are in place with our major steel
suppliers to ensure adequate supply and competitive market pricing.
Foreign Exchange
The Company‟s operating results are reported in Canadian dollars. A significant portion of our sales is
denominated in US dollars. A change in the value of the Canadian dollar against the US dollar will
impact earnings. We have created a natural hedge as this is partially offset by a corresponding change
in the cost of materials purchased from the US and commodities tied to US dollar pricing. In general, a
lower value for the Canadian dollar compared to the US dollar will have a beneficial impact on the
Company‟s results; or, inversely, a higher value for the Canadian dollar compared to the US dollar will
have a negative impact on the Company‟s profitability. The Company also has a US operating
subsidiary and US dollar assets. The exchange rate between the Canadian and US dollar can vary
significantly from year to year. There is a corresponding positive or negative impact to the Company‟s
Statement of Earnings solely related to the foreign exchange translation of its Balance Sheet. We have
partially reduced the impact of foreign exchange fluctuations through increasing our US dollar driven
manufacturing output. Finally, the Company periodically institutes price increases / reductions to help
offset the negative / positive impact of changes in foreign exchange and product cost increases /
decreases.
Interest Rates
The Company has structured its debt financing to take advantage of the current lower interest rates,
but is cognizant that a rise in interest rates will negatively impact the financial results of the Company.
The Company continuously reviews this strategy of hedging this risk by fixing interest rates on part of
its total debt.
North American Economy
We believe the North American economy has stabilized and we will see marginal growth in 2012. Our
efforts over the next 12 months will be on projects that will reduce our costs and improve our
manufacturing flexibility. We believe that being nimble as an organization will become even more
important in order to respond quickly to both unexpected opportunities as well as challenges. We also
believe that our growing access to a variety of markets both global and domestic through our OEM and
distributor channels will help the Company expand market share during an economic recovery.
18 Hammond Manufacturing Company Limited
www.hammondmfg.com
MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OUTLOOK FACTORS FOR 2012
We saw substantial growth in 2011, although some of this was at the expense of lower margins. The
Company continues with the objective of growth and increased market share but will weigh this against
achieving acceptable margins.
Our plan for the 2012 core business foresees local currency growth in the single digits. We will
continue to expand our market share with new product introduction and marketing initiatives as well as
continued expansion of our market share in the international market place.
Capital spending will continue to be focused on high impact projects as accommodated by cash flows.
Our primary focus continues to be on productivity and margin improvement.

MANAGEMENT’S RESPONSIBILITY FOR FINANCIAL REPORTING
The consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the management of Hammond
Manufacturing Company Limited. These statements have been prepared in accordance with
International Financial Reporting Standards, using management‟s best estimates and judgments,
where appropriate.
Management is responsible for the reliability and integrity of the consolidated financial statements, the
notes to the consolidated financial statements and other financial information contained in the report.
In the preparation of these statements, estimates are sometimes necessary because a precise
determination of certain assets and liabilities is dependent on future events. Management believes
such estimates have been based on careful judgment and have been properly reflected in the
accompanying consolidated financial statements.
Management is responsible for the maintenance of a system of internal controls designed to provide
reasonable assurance that the assets are safeguarded and that accounting systems provide timely,
accurate and reliable financial information.
The Board of Directors is responsible for ensuring that management fulfills its responsibilities for
financial reporting and internal control. The Board of Directors is assisted in exercising its
responsibilities through the Audit Committee of the Board, which is composed of three non-
management directors. The Audit Committee meets periodically with management and the auditors to
satisfy itself that management‟s responsibilities are properly discharged, to review the consolidated
financial statements and to recommend approval of the consolidated financial statements to the Board
of Directors.
KPMG LLP, the independent auditors appointed by the shareholders, has audited the Company‟s
consolidated financial statements in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards
and their report follows. The independent auditors have full and unrestricted access to the Audit
Committee to discuss their audit and related findings as to the integrity of the financial reporting
process.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
To the Shareholders of Hammond Manufacturing Company Limited
We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Hammond Manufacturing
Company Limited, which comprise the consolidated statements of financial position as at December
31, 2011, December 31, 2010, and January 1, 2010, the consolidated statements of comprehensive
income, changes in equity and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2011 and December 31,
2010, and notes, comprising a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory
information.
Management’s Responsibility for the Consolidated Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these consolidated financial
statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards, and for such internal
control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial
statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditors’ Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our
audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards.
Those standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free from
material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in
the consolidated financial statements. The procedures selected depend on our judgment, including the
assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due
to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, we consider internal control relevant to the entity‟s
preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in order to design audit
procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion
on the effectiveness of the entity‟s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the
appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained in our audits is sufficient and appropriate to
provide a basis for our audit opinion.
Opinion
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the
consolidated financial position of Hammond Manufacturing Company Limited as at December 31,
2011, December 31, 2010, and January 1, 2010, and its consolidated financial performance and its
consolidated cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010 in
accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010
(tabular amounts in thousands of Canadian dollars)
1. Reporting entity:
Hammond Manufacturing Company Limited (“HMCL”or the“Company”) is a public company traded
on the Toronto Stock Exchange under the symbol “HMM.A” and is incorporated under the Ontario
Business Corporations Act. The address of the Company‟s registered office is 394 Edinburgh Road
North, Guelph, Ontario. The consolidated financial statements of the Company as at and for the
year ended December 31, 2011 include the Company and its subsidiaries (together referred to as
the “Group” and individually as “Group entities”) and the Group‟s interest in associates and jointly
controlled entities. The Group primarily is involved in the design, manufacture and sale of electrical
and electronic components. Facilities are located in Canada, the USA, the UK, Taiwan and
Australia, with agents and distributors located worldwide. The Company also maintains a 40%
ownership share of RITEC Enclosures Inc. (RITEC) located in Taiwan. RITEC produces plastic and
die cast enclosures for sale through the Company‟s sales network and its own existing market
channels.
2. Basis of preparation:
(a) Statement of compliance:
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International
Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). These are the Company‟s first annual IFRS consolidated
financial statements in which IFRS 1 First-time Adoption of International Financial Reporting
Standards has been applied. Prior to adoption of IFRS, the Company prepared its Financial
statements in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles (Canadian
GAAP).
An explanation of how the transition to IFRS has affected the reported financial position, financial
performance and cash flows of the Company is provided in note 27. This note includes
reconciliations of equity and total comprehensive income for comparative periods and of equity
at the date of transition reported under previous Canadian GAAP to those reported for those
periods and at the date of transition under IFRS. These consolidated financial statements should
be read in conjunction with the Group‟s 2010 annual audited financial statements and in
consideration of the IFRS transition disclosures and reconciliations included in note 27 to these
financial statements and the additional annual disclosures included herein.
The Board of Directors approved these consolidated financial statements on March 8, 2012.
(b) Basis of measurement:
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis.
(c) Functional and presentation currency:
The consolidated financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars. The functional
currency of the Group‟s entities is the currency of their primary economic environment. In
individual companies, transactions in foreign currencies are recorded at the rate of exchange at
the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities in foreign currencies at the reporting
date are re-measured to the functional currency at the exchange rate at that date. Any resulting

2. Basis of preparation – continued:
(c) Functional and presentation currency – continued:
exchange differences are taken to the income statement. Non-monetary items that are
measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rate
at the date of the transaction. On consolidation, assets and liabilities of Group entities reported in
their functional currencies are translated into the Canadian dollar, being the presentation
currency, at the exchange rate on the reporting date. The income and expenses of foreign
operations are translated to Canadian dollars using average exchange rates for the months
during which the transactions occurred. Foreign currency translation differences are recognized
in other comprehensive income which is included in the accumulated other comprehensive
income account. The functional currency of the Company‟s subsidiary operations located in the
USA, UK, Taiwan and Australia are the US dollar, the British Pound, Taiwan Dollar and the
Australian Dollar respectively. The functional currency of the Company‟s Canadian operations is
the Canadian Dollar.
(d) Use of estimates and judgments
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with IFRS, requires
management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of
accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual
results may differ from these estimates. Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on
an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the
estimates are revised and in any future periods affected. Critical judgments in applying
accounting policies that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in the
consolidated financial statements is included in the following notes:
Notes 9 and 10 include assumptions in the determination of the estimated useful lives of
intangible assets and property, plant and equipment.
Note 11 includes the estimate of property value
Note 18 include assumptions on the required provisions for sales returns and environmental
remediation.
3. Summary of significant accounting policies:
The accounting policies set out below have been applied consistently to all periods presented in
these consolidated financial statements and in the preparation of the opening IFRS statement of
financial position at January 1, 2010 for the purposes of the transition to IFRS, unless otherwise
indicated.

HAMMOND MANUFACTURING COMPANY LIMITED
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010
(tabular amounts in thousands of Canadian dollars)
3. Summary of significant accounting policies – continued:
The accounting policies have been applied consistently by Group entities.
(a) Basis of consolidation:
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Hammond Manufacturing
Company Limited, its wholly owned subsidiaries, Hammond Manufacturing Company Inc.,
Hammond Electronics Limited, Hammond Electronics PTY Ltd., Les Fabrications Hammond
(Quebec) Inc., Hammond Electronics Asia Inc, and its proportionate share of Glen Ewing
Properties, an unincorporated co-tenancy (50%). All significant intercompany balances and
transactions have been eliminated on consolidation. The consolidated financial statements
include the Group‟s investment in 1159714 Ontario Inc. (which was dissolved December 30,
2011) and RITEC, which are accounted for using the equity method (note 3(g)). The Company
has elected not to retrospectively apply IFRS 3 to business combinations that occurred prior to
January 1, 2010; therefore, such business combinations have not been restated.
(b) Revenue recognition:
The Company recognizes revenue on product sales and services at the time the products are
shipped or services rendered to customers, when the customer takes ownership and assumes
risk of loss, collection of the relevant receivable is probable, persuasive evidence of an
arrangement exists and the sales price is fixed or determinable. A provision for sales returns is
recognized when the underlying products or services are sold. The provision is based on
historical returns data and a weighting of all possible outcomes against their associated
probabilities.
(c) Inventories:
Inventories are valued at the lower of cost, determined on a first-in, first-out basis and net
realizable value, and includes expenditures incurred in acquiring the inventories, production or
conversion costs and other costs incurred in bringing them to their existing location and
condition. In the case of manufactured inventories and work in progress, costs include an
appropriate share of production overheads based on normal operating capacity. Net realizable
value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated costs
of completion and selling expenses. When circumstances that previously gave rise to an
inventory write down no longer exist, the previous impairment is reversed.
(d) Investment in properties:
Investment property is property held either to earn rental income or for capital appreciation or
for both, but not for sale in the ordinary course of business, use in the production or supply of
goods or services or for administrative purposes. The Group measures its investment property,
being the land held by Glen Ewing Properties, at historical cost.

(e) Property, plant and equipment:
Property, plant and equipment are shown in the statements of financial position at their
historical cost. Cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the
asset. The cost of self-constructed assets includes the cost of materials and direct labour, any
other costs directly attributable to bringing the assets to a working condition for their intended
use, the costs of dismantling and removing the items and restoring the site on which they are
located, and borrowing costs on qualifying assets for which the commencement date for
capitalization is on or after January 1, 2010. Purchased software that is integral to the
functionality of the related equipment is capitalized as part of that equipment. When parts of an
item of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, they are accounted for as
separate items (major components) of property, plant and equipment. Depreciation is provided
on components that have homogenous useful lives by using the straight-line method so as to
depreciate the initial cost down to the residual value over the estimated useful lives.
The estimated useful lives for the current and comparative periods are as follows:

Buildings
Office equipment
Machinery and equipment
Tooling

Machinery and equipment under capital lease is initially recorded at the present value of
minimum lease payments at the inception of the lease.
Depreciation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at each financial year-end
and adjusted, if appropriate.
(f) Intangible assets other than goodwill:
Intangible assets are stated at cost less accumulated amortization. Intangible assets with a
finite life are amortized using the straight-line method at rates calculated to amortize the cost of
these assets over their estimated useful lives.
Amortization rates are as follows:

3. Summary of significant accounting policies – continued:
(g) Investments measured using equity method:
The Company uses the equity method as a basis of accounting for investments in companies
over which it exercises significant influence or joint control. Under the equity method, the
Company records these investments initially at cost and the carrying values are adjusted
thereafter to include the Company's pro rata share of post-acquisition earnings of the
investees, computed by the consolidation method. The adjustments are included in the
determination of net income by the Company, and the investment accounts of the Company
are also increased or decreased to reflect the Company's share of capital transactions
(including amounts recognized in other comprehensive income). Profit distributions received or
receivable from investees reduce the carrying values of the investments. Unrealized
intercompany gains or losses are eliminated.
The Company‟s determination of significant influence is based on consideration of voting
interest in the investees along with other indicators such as representation on the board of
directors, participation in policy-making processes, material intercompany transactions,
interchange of managerial personnel or provision of technical information. The Company uses
the equity method to account for its interest in RITEC (40% share) and 1159714 Ontario Inc.
(50% share).
(h) Income taxes:
The Company uses the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under the
asset and liability method, deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the
future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying
amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets
and liabilities are measured using enacted or substantively enacted tax rates expected to apply
to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be
recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is
recognized in income in the period that includes the date of enactment or substantive
enactment. A deferred tax asset is recognized for unused tax losses, tax credits and deductible
temporary differences, to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be
available against which they can be utilized. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting
date and are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will
be realized.
(i) Goodwill:
Acquisitions on or after January 1, 2010, are accounted for using the acquisition method
required by IFRS 3. Goodwill is the residual amount that results when the purchase price of an
acquired business exceeds the sum of the amount allocated to the identifiable assets acquired,
less liabilities assumed based on their fair values. Goodwill is allocated as of the date of the

3. Summary of significant accounting policies – continued:
(i) Goodwill - continued:
business combination to the Company‟s cash generating units that are expected to benefit
from the synergies of the business combination. As part of its transition to IFRS, the Company
elected to restate only those business combinations that occurred on or after January 1, 2010.
In respect of acquisitions prior to January 1, 2010, goodwill represents the amounts recognized
under previous Canadian GAAP.
Goodwill is tested for impairment at least annually and upon the occurrence of an indication of
impairment. The impairment tests are performed at the cash generating unit (CGU) level. The
Group defines it CGUs based on the way it monitors and derives economic benefits from the
acquired goodwill and intangibles. The impairment tests are performed by comparing the
carrying value of the assets of these CGUs with the greater of its value in use and its fair value
less costs to sell. The value in use is based on their future projected cash flows discounted to
the present value at an appropriate pre-tax discount rate. Usually, the cash flows correspond to
estimates made by Group Management in financial and strategic business plans covering a
period of five years. They are then projected beyond 5 years using a steady or declining growth
rate given that the Group businesses are of a long-term nature. The discount rate used
approximated the Company‟s weighted average cost of capital. The business risk is included in
the determination of the cash flows. Both the cash flows and the discount rates exclude
inflation. An impairment loss in respect of goodwill is never subsequently reversed. The group
completed its annual impairment test at December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010 as well
as an impairment test on transition to IFRS, and concluded there was no impairment.
(j) Provisions:
Provisions may include liabilities of uncertain timing or amounts that arise from environmental,
litigation, commercial or other risks. Provisions are recognized when a legal or constructive
obligation exists stemming from a past event and when the future cash outflows can be reliably
estimated. Environmental provisions consider the present value of the anticipated clean up
costs. A discounted rate of 6.0% was utilized.
(k) Earnings per share:
Basic earnings per share are computed by dividing net earnings by the weighted average
shares outstanding during the reporting period. Diluted earnings per share are computed
similar to basic earnings per share except that the weighted average shares outstanding are
increased to include additional shares from the assumed exercise of stock options, if dilutive.
The number of additional shares is calculated by assuming that outstanding stock options were
exercised and that the proceeds from such exercises were used to acquire shares of common
stock at the average market price during the reporting period.

3. Summary of significant accounting policies – continued:
(l)
Impairment:
(i) Financial assets (including receivables):
A financial asset not carried at fair value through profit or loss is assessed at each reporting
date to determine whether there is objective evidence that it is impaired. A financial asset is
impaired if objective evidence indicates that a loss event has occurred after the initial
recognition of the asset, and that the loss event had a negative effect on the estimated future
cash flows of that asset that can be estimated reliably.
Objective evidence that financial assets (including equity securities) are impaired can include
default or delinquency by a debtor, restructuring of an amount due to the Group on terms that
the Group would not consider otherwise, indications that a debtor or issuer will enter
bankruptcy, or the disappearance of an active market for a security. In addition, for an
investment in an equity security, a significant or prolonged decline in its fair value below its cost
is objective evidence of impairment.
The Group considers evidence of impairment for receivables at both a specific asset and
collective level. All individually significant receivables are assessed for specific impairment. All
individually significant receivables found not to be specifically impaired are then collectively
assessed for any impairment that has been incurred but not yet identified. Receivables that are
not individually significant are collectively assessed for impairment by grouping together
receivables with similar risk characteristics.
In assessing collective impairment the Group uses historical trends of the probability of default,
timing of recoveries and the amount of loss incurred, adjusted for management‟s judgment as
to whether current economic and credit conditions are such that the actual losses are likely to
be greater or less than suggested by historical trends.
An impairment loss in respect of a financial asset measured at amortized cost is calculated as
the difference between its carrying amount and the present value of the estimated future cash
flows discounted at the asset‟s original effective interest rate. Losses are recognized in profit or
loss and reflected in an allowance account against receivables. Interest on the impaired asset
continues to be recognized through the unwinding of the discount. When a subsequent event
causes the amount of impairment loss to decrease, the decrease in impairment loss is
reversed through profit or loss.
(ii) Non-financial assets:
The carrying amounts of the Group‟s non-financial assets are reviewed at each reporting date
to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, then
the asset‟s recoverable amount is estimated. For goodwill, and intangible assets that have
indefinite useful lives or that are not yet available for use, the recoverable amount is estimated
each year at the same time.

3. Summary of significant accounting policies – continued:
(l)
Impairment - continued:
The recoverable amount of an asset or CGU is the greater of its value in use and its fair value
less costs to sell. 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. For the purpose of impairment
testing, assets that cannot be tested individually are grouped together into the smallest group
of assets that generates cash inflows from continuing use that are largely independent of the
cash inflows of other assets or groups of assets. For the purposes of goodwill impairment
testing, goodwill acquired in a business combination is allocated to the CGU, or the group of
CGUs, that is expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination. This allocation is
subject to an operating segment ceiling test and reflects the lowest level at which that goodwill
is monitored for internal reporting purposes.
The Group‟s corporate assets do not generate separate cash inflows. If there is an indication
that a corporate asset may be impaired, then the recoverable amount is determined for the
CGU to which the corporate asset belongs.
An impairment loss is recognized if the carrying amount of an asset or its CGU exceeds its
estimated recoverable amount. Impairment losses are recognized in profit or loss. Impairment
losses recognized in respect of CGUs are allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any
goodwill allocated to the units, and then to reduce the carrying amounts of the other assets in
the unit (group of units) on a pro rata basis.
An impairment loss in respect of goodwill is not reversed. In respect of other assets,
impairment losses recognized in prior periods are assessed at each reporting date for any
indications that the loss has decreased or no longer exists. An impairment loss is reversed if
there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount. An
impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the asset‟s carrying amount does not
exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation or
amortization, if no impairment loss had been recognized.
Goodwill that forms part of the carrying amount of an investment in an associate is not
recognized separately, and therefore is not tested for impairment separately. Instead, the entire
amount of the investment in an associate is tested for impairment as a single asset when there
is objective evidence that the investment in an associate may be impaired.
(m) Financial instruments:
The Company aggregates its financial instruments into classes based on their nature and
characteristics. The Group has classified its financial instruments as follows:
Cash and cash equivalents are classified as loans and receivables
Trade and other receivables are classified as loans and receivables

3. Summary of significant accounting policies – continued:
(m) Financial instruments - continued:
Bank indebtedness, trade and other payables and long-term debt are classified as
other liabilities.
(n) Financial assets and financial liabilities:
All financial assets and financial liabilities are initially recognized at fair value plus directly
attributable transaction costs, unless the transaction costs relate to financial instruments
classified as fair value through profit and loss, in which case they are expensed immediately.
Subsequent measurement is determined based on initial classification.
The Group uses trade date accounting for regular-way purchases and sales of financial assets.
(i) Loans and receivables:
Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments
that are not quoted in an active market. This category includes cash and cash equivalents,
trade and other receivables. Subsequent to initial measurement, loans and receivables are
carried at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method less appropriate allowances
for doubtful receivables. Allowance for doubtful receivables represent the Group‟s estimates of
losses that could arise from the failure or inability of customers to make payments when due.
Loans and receivables are further classified as current and non-current depending whether
these will be realized within twelve months after the balance sheet date or beyond.
(ii) Other liabilities:
This category includes bank indebtedness, accounts payable and accrued liabilities and long-
term debt. Subsequent to initial measurement, other liabilities are carried at amortized cost
using the effective interest rate method.
(o) Employee Benefits:
(i) Defined contribution plans:
A defined contribution plan is a post-employment benefit plan under which an entity pays fixed
contributions into a separate entity and will have no legal or constructive obligation to pay
further amounts. Obligations for contributions to defined contribution pension plans are
recognized as an employee benefit expense in the periods during which services are rendered
by the employees. Prepaid contributions are recognized as an asset to the extent that a cash
refund or a reduction in future payments is available. Contributions to a defined contribution
plan which are due more than 12 months after the end of the period in which the employees
render the service, are discounted to their present value.
(ii) Other long-term employee benefits:
The Group‟s net obligation in respect of long-term employee benefits, other than pension
plans, is the amount of future benefit that employees have earned in return for their service in

the current and prior periods; that benefit is discounted to determine its present value and the
fair value of any related assets is deducted. Any actuarial gains and losses are recognized in
profit or loss in the period in which they arise.
(iii) Termination benefits:
Termination benefits are recognized as an expense when the Group is committed
demonstrably, without realistic possibility of withdrawal, to a formal detailed plan to either
terminate employment before the normal retirement date, or to provide termination benefits as
a result of an offer made to encourage voluntary redundancy. Termination benefits for
voluntary redundancies are recognized as an expense if the Group has made an offer of
voluntary redundancy, it is probable that the offer will be accepted, and the number of
acceptances can be estimated reliably. If benefits are payable more than 12 months after the
reporting period, then they are discounted to their present value.
(iv) Short-term employee benefits:
Short-term employee benefit obligations are measured on an undiscounted basis and are
expensed as the related service is provided. A liability is recognized for the amount expected to
be paid under short-term cash bonus or profit-sharing plans if the Group has a present legal or
constructive obligation to pay this amount as a result of past service provided by the employee,
and the obligation can be estimated reliably.
(v) Share-based payment transactions:
The grant date fair value of share-based payment awards granted to employees is recognized
as an employee expense, with a corresponding increase in contributed surplus in equity, over
the period that the employees unconditionally become entitled to the awards. The amount
recognized as an expense is adjusted to reflect the number of awards for which the related
service and non-market vesting conditions are expected to be met, such that the amount
ultimately recognized as an expense is based on the number of awards that do meet the
related service and non-market performance conditions at the vesting date. For share-based
payment awards with non-vesting conditions, the grant date fair value of the share-based
payment is measured to reflect such conditions and there is no true up for differences between
expected and actual outcomes. Share-based payment arrangements in which the Group
receives goods or services as consideration for its own equity instruments are accounted for as
equity-settled share-based payment transactions, regardless of how the equity instruments are
obtained by the Group.
(p) Segment reporting:
The continuing operations of the Company are in one operating segment, electrical and
electronic components.

(q) New standards and interpretations not yet adopted:
A number of new standards, and amendments to standards and interpretations, are not yet
effective for the year ended December 31, 2011, and have not been applied in preparing these
consolidated financial statements. None of these is expected to have a significant effect on the
consolidated financial statements of the Group, except for IFRS 9 Financial Instruments and
IFRS 12 Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities which become mandatory for the Group‟s
2013 consolidated financial statements and are expected to impact the classification and
measurement of financial assets and the amount of disclosure relating to associates. The
extent of the impact has not been determined.

operating history. This was then compared to the carrying value of the facility‟s assets to
determine if there was impairment.
IFRS 1 requires entities to test goodwill for impairment upon transition to IFRS. Accordingly,
effective January 1, 2010, December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2011, the assets, including
goodwill of $105,000, of the company‟s wholly owned subsidiary, Hammond Electronics Limited,
were tested and no impairment was found.
11. Investment property:
The group has a 50% ownership of a property in Georgetown, Ontario (referred to as the Glen
Ewing property). It is a vacant plot of land and currently under environmental remediation. The
property value represents the actual historical cost of the property from the mid 1990‟s.
Management has reviewed the property and local market conditions as well as weighted the
environmental condition of the property in estimating the property‟s fair value. Management
estimates its interest in the property‟s fair market value to be approximately $1,250,000. This
estimate is unchanged from December 31, 2010 and January 1, 2010. No independent valuation
has been performed. The property is currently vacant and no income is being derived from it. The
Company‟s direct operating expenses in 2011 related to the property were $117,000.
12. Equity investment:
The group had a 50% ownership of 1159714 Ontario Inc. Its opening balance in 2010 represents
the equity left from this entity which was a loan receivable. The entity was dissolved on December
30, 2011 and proceeds dispersed to the shareholders.

19. Trade and other payables:
The Group‟s exposure to currency and liquidity risk related to trade and other payables is
disclosed in note 23.
20. Operating leases:
The Company is committed to payments under operating leases for equipment and buildings. The
future minimum non-cancellable operating lease rentals are payable as follows:
The Group leases a number of offices and warehouses and factory facilities under operating
leases. The leases typically run for a period of three to five years, with an option to renew the
lease after that date.
During the year ended December 31, 2011, an amount of $1,317,000 was recognized as an
expense in profit or loss in respect of operating leases (2010 - $1,126,000).
The warehouse and factory leases have been renewed over several terms as combined leases of
land and buildings. Since the land title does not pass, the rent paid to the landlord of the building is
increased to market rent at regular intervals, and the Group does not participate in the residual
value of the building, it was determined that substantially all the risks and rewards of the building
are with the landlord. As such, the Group determined that the leases are operating leases.
21. Commitments:
The Company has contractual obligations for outstanding capital expenditures of $250,000 (2010 -
$739,000). These expenditures should be completed in the first half of 2012.
22. Financial instruments:
The carrying values of the Group‟s financial assets and liabilities, consisting of cash, trade and
other accounts receivables, bank indebtedness, trade and other accounts payables approximate
their fair values due to the relatively short periods to maturity of the instruments. The carrying
value of the Group‟s outstanding term loans at December 31, 2011 are at floating rate. Long-term
debts are comparable to their fair market value since the interest rates approximate market rates

23. Financial risk management:
Overview
The Group has exposure to the following risks from its use of financial instruments:
credit risk
liquidity risk
market risk
operational risk.
This note presents information about the Group‟s exposure to each of the above risks, the
Group‟s objectives, policies and processes for measuring and managing risk, and the Group‟s
management of capital. Further quantitative disclosures are included throughout these
consolidated financial statements.
Risk management framework:
The Board of Directors has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the
Group‟s risk management framework. The Board is responsible for developing and monitoring
the Group‟s risk management policies.
The Group‟s risk management policies are established to identify and analyze the risks faced
by the Group, to set appropriate risk limits and controls, and to monitor risks and adherence to
limits. Risk management policies and systems are reviewed regularly to reflect changes in
market conditions and the Group‟s activities. The Group, through its training and management
standards and procedures, aims to develop a disciplined and constructive control environment
in which all employees understand their roles and obligations.
The Group‟s Audit Committee oversees how management monitors compliance with the
Group‟s risk management policies and procedures, and reviews the adequacy of the risk
management framework in relation to the risks faced by the Group. The Group‟s Audit
Committee is assisted in its oversight role by the corporate finance group. The corporate
finance group undertakes both regular and ad hoc reviews of risk management controls and
procedures, the results of which are reported to the Audit Committee.
Credit risk:
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Group if a customer or counterparty to a financial
instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations, and arises principally from the Group‟s
receivables from customers. The carrying amount of financial assets represents the maximum
credit risk exposure.

23. Financial risk management - continued:
Credit risk - continued:
Trade and other receivables
The Group‟s exposure to credit risk is influenced mainly by the individual characteristics of
each customer. However, management also considers the demographics of the Group‟s
customer base, including the default risk of the industry and country in which customers
operate, as these factors may have an influence on credit risk, particularly in the currently
deteriorating economic circumstances.
The Group has established a credit policy under which each new customer is analyzed
individually for creditworthiness before the Group‟s standard payment and delivery terms and
conditions are offered. The Group‟s review includes external ratings, when available, and in
some cases bank references. Purchase limits are established for each customer, which
represents the maximum open amount without requiring approval from management.
Customers that fail to meet the Group‟s benchmark creditworthiness may transact with the
Group only on a prepayment basis.
In monitoring customer credit risk, customers are grouped according to their credit
characteristics, including whether they are an individual or legal entity, whether they are a
wholesale, retail or end-user customer, geographic location, industry, aging profile, maturity
and existence of previous financial difficulties. Trade and other receivables relate mainly to the
Group‟s wholesale customers. Customers that are graded as “high risk” are placed on a
restricted customer list and monitored by the accounts receivable department, and future sales
are made on a prepayment basis.
The Group does not require collateral in respect of trade and other receivables.
The Group establishes an allowance for impairment that represents its estimate of incurred
losses in respect of trade and other receivables. The main components of this allowance are a
specific loss component that relates to individually significant exposures, and a collective loss
component established for groups of similar assets in respect of losses that have been
incurred but not yet identified. The collective loss allowance is determined based on historical
data of payment statistics for similar financial assets.
Credit risk arises from the possibility that the entities to which the Company sells products may
experience difficulty and be unable to fulfill their obligations. The Company is exposed to
financial risk that arises from the credit quality of the entities to which it sells products and
services. The Company sells to a variety of companies in a number of different industries and
geographic areas. As a result, the requirement for an industry specific or geographic reserve
is minimal.

The following table provides the roll forward of the allowance for doubtful accounts:
Liquidity risk:
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will encounter difficulty in meeting the obligations
associated with its financial liabilities that are settled by delivering cash or another financial
asset. The Group‟s approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will
always have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due, under both normal and stressed
conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Group‟s reputation.
The Group uses planning tools to identify future cash requirements and closely monitors daily
cash flow requirements.

23. Financial risk management - continued:
The group has established a $12,429,000 overdraft facility that is secured against inventory
and accounts receivable. Interest would be payable at the rate of bank prime plus 50 basis
points (2010: bank prime plus 100 basis points). The Company had available unused credit
facilities in the amount of $3,664,000 at December 31, 2011 (2010 - $6,246,000) to meet
fluctuations in working capital requirements.
The following are the contractual maturities of financial liabilities, including estimated interest
payments and excluding the impact of netting arrangements.
Market risk:
Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as foreign exchange rates and
interest rates will affect the Group‟s income or the value of its holdings of financial instruments.
The objective of market risk management is to manage and control market risk exposures
within acceptable parameters, while optimizing the return. The group has tried to create some
natural hedges but does not utilize hedging practices for foreign exchange.
Foreign currency risk:
The Group has a substantial number of transactions denominated in United States dollars and
is exposed to risk with respect to fluctuations in exchange rates between Canadian and United
States dollars. The Group holds smaller positions in other foreign currencies. The Group does
not use derivative instruments to reduce its exposure to foreign currency risk. As a result,

variations in foreign exchange rates could cause unanticipated fluctuations in the Group‟s
operating result. Accounts receivable include Australian currency of $67,000, US $3,425,000,
New Zealand $22,000, New Taiwanese $487,000 and GBP Sterling £412,000 (2010 – AUD
$44,000, US $2,848,000, NZD $39,000, TWD $1,429,000 and £362,000). Accounts payable
include Australian currency of $7,000, U.S. $1,184,000, Euro 148,000 and £229,000 (2010 –
AUD $23,000, US $1,116,000, Euro 32,000 and £286,000). Long-term debt includes loans
and capital leases denominated in US funds totaling U.S. $1,773,000 (2010 - US $926,000)
and denominated in GBP Sterling funds totaling £48,000 (2010 - £81,000), which may affect
the amount of principal and interest payments ultimately recorded.
Sensitivity Analysis:
A one-cent strengthening (weakening) of the Canadian dollar against the US dollar as at
December 31, 2011 would have decreased (increased) equity by $458,000, which is derived
from a decrease (increase) in net earnings for the year of $376,000 and a decrease (increase)
in balance sheet valuation of $82,000. This analysis assumes that all other variables remain
constant. As noted, the company does deal in other currencies but the level of impact of these
currencies would not be significant.
Interest rate risk:
Interest rate risk arises from the possibility that the cash flows related to a financial instrument
would fluctuate as a result of changes in market interest rates. The Group is exposed to
financial risk that arises from the interest rate differentials between the market interest rate and
the rates on its cash, bank indebtedness, and its float rate term loans. Changes in variable
interest rates could cause unanticipated fluctuations in the Group‟s operating results.
Sensitivity Analysis:
A one percent increase in the variable rates charged on our ending 2011 debt held would
increase interest expense by $99,000. This analysis assumes that all other variables remain
constant. Inversely, a one percent decrease in the variable rates charged on our ending 2011
debt held would have had the equal but opposite effect.
Operational risk:
Operational risk is the risk of direct or indirect loss arising from a wide variety of causes
associated with the Group‟s processes, personnel, technology and infrastructure, and from
external factors other than credit, liquidity and market risks such as those arising from legal
and regulatory requirements and generally accepted standards of corporate behaviour.
Operational risks arise from all of the Group‟s operations.
The Group‟s objective is to manage operational risk so as to balance the avoidance of financial
losses and damage to the Group‟s reputation with overall cost effectiveness and to avoid
control procedures that restrict initiative and creativity.

23. Financial risk management - continued:
The primary responsibility for the development and implementation of controls to address
operational risk is assigned to senior management within each business unit. This
responsibility is supported by the development of overall Group standards for the management
of operational risk in the following areas:
requirements for appropriate segregation of duties, including the independent
authorization of transactions
requirements for the reconciliation and monitoring of transactions
compliance with regulatory and other legal requirements
documentation of controls and procedures
requirements for the periodic assessment of operational risks faced, and the
adequacy of controls and procedures to address the risks identified
requirements for the reporting of operational losses and proposed remedial action
development of contingency plans
training and professional development
ethical and business standards
risk mitigation, including insurance when this is effective.
Compliance with Group standards is supported by a program of periodic reviews undertaken by
the corporate finance group. The results of the reviews are discussed with the management of
the business unit to which they relate, with summaries submitted to the Audit Committee and
senior management of the Group.
Capital management:
In order to manage capital, the Group regularly identifies and assesses risks that threaten the
ability to meet the Company‟s capital management objectives, and determines the appropriate
strategy to mitigate these risks.
The Group‟s objectives when managing capital are to:
a) maintain financial flexibility in order to preserve its ability to meet financial obligations
b) deploy capital to provide an appropriate investment return to its shareholders
c) maintain capital structure that allows multiple financing options to the Group should a
financing need arise.
The Group defines its capital as follows:
a) shareholders‟ equity
b) long-term debt, including the current portion
c) cash and cash equivalents; and short-term investments
short-term borrowings
d) The Group is subject to externally imposed capital requirements through the covenants
of its facility arrangements with the bank. The covenants measure Debt to Total Net
Worth and Current Ratio. The Group has been in compliance with its covenants
through 2010 and 2011

24. Segment disclosures:
The continuing operations of the Company are in one operating segment, electrical and electronic
components.
The Company and its subsidiaries operate in Canada, the United States, the United Kingdom and
Australia.
25. Contingencies:
The property at 2 Glen Road, Georgetown, Ontario is owned equally as a co-tenant with HPSI and
any expenses or liabilities in respect of the property has been agreed to be shared equally. In
January 2002, the Company and Hammond Power Solutions Incorporated (HPSI) were served with
a statement of claim by an adjoining industrial property owner, in which the plaintiff has claimed
damages in the amount of $8 million for negligence, breach of warranty and other matters relating
to alleged environmental contamination of the property. In 2004, the Company and HPSI served a
counter-claim against the plaintiff in the amount of $8 million. In August of 2009, the Company,
HPSI and the adjoining property owner (“the parties”) signed a settlement outlining how the parties
will work together on future management, including the remediation and monitoring of the
substances of interest on the properties, and to agree on an approach to resolve future Ministry of
the Environment (MOE) or other governmental claims, orders, directions, prosecutions, tickets, and
environmental penalties. As part of this settlement, all parties dropped their civil actions against
each other. The contamination does not result from the normal operations of the Company.

Notes to the reconciliations
(a) Under previous Canadian GAAP, the Group‟s functional currency was determined to be the
Canadian dollar, and the Company‟s subsidiaries operate as integrated foreign operations
due to the fact that they were considered financially and operationally interdependent with the
Canadian parent Company. As a result, the temporal method was used to translate assets,
liabilities, revenues and expenses. The result of the application of this method was that
monetary items were translated at the exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet date, non-
monetary items were translated at historical rates, revenue and expense items were
translated at the exchange rates in effect on the dates they occurred, and depreciation was
translated at the historical exchange rates of the asset to which it relates. In accordance with
IFRS, the Group examined the functional currencies for each of its component entities upon
transition. Under IFRS, when the indicators are mixed and the functional currency is not
obvious, priority is given to specific primary indicators. Canadian GAAP has similar indicators
as IFRS in determining functional currencies; however, Canadian GAAP does not have a
hierarchy of indicators under which certain indicators are given priority. In particular, under
IFRS, the Group evaluated the primary economic environment within which each entity
operates. In performing this evaluation, the Group looked to the currency that mainly
influences sales prices, the currency of the country whose competitive forces and regulations
mainly determine the sales prices, and the currency that mainly influences labour, material
and other costs of providing goods. The result of this assessment was the determination that
the domestic currency of each component entity is their functional currency. Under IAS 2,
Foreign Operations, all assets and liabilities are translated from their functional currency into
the group presentation currency at the exchange rate at the reporting date, and revenue and
expenses are translated at the transaction date. The impact arising from the change is
summarized as follows:

(b)
In accordance with IFRS 1, the Group has elected to deem all foreign currency translation
differences that arose prior to the date of transition in respect of all foreign operations to be
nil at the date of transition.
The impact arising from the change is summarized as follows:
(c) Upon adoption of IFRS, the Group classified deferred tax assets previously presented as
current assets as non-current assets, in accordance with IAS 12, Income Taxes. Similarly,
the Group classified deferred tax liabilities previously presented as current liabilities as non-
current liabilities.
(d) Upon adoption of IFRS, the Group presented provisions previously classified as accrued
liabilities separately on the statement of financial position.
(e)
As part of its transition to IFRS, the Group elected not to restate prior business
combinations. In respect of acquisitions prior to January 1, 2009 goodwill, represents the
amount recognized under previous Canadian GAAP.

(f) As part of its transition to IFRS, the Group reviewed their fixed asset base and identified
components of property plant and equipment that had significant value (IAS16). The
components were reviewed and given separate depreciable lives. The impact of this
restatement is shown in the following table.
(g) As part of its transition to IFRS, the Group reviewed employee benefits as covered in IAS19.

(h) The above changes decreased (increased) retained earnings as follows:
(i) IFRS requires the presentation of expenses in the statement of comprehensive income to be
made based on their nature or the function to which the expenditure relates. Previous
Canadian GAAP permitted combination of these approaches. The Group has elected to
present items in its consolidated statements of income based on the function to which they
relate, and accordingly, has reclassified items previously presented as selling, general and
administrative expenses into selling and distribution, general and administrative, and
research and development.
(j)
Upon transition to IFRS, the Group has moved the amount of cash paid for interest and
income taxes into the body of the consolidated statements of cash flows, whereas they were
previously disclosed as supplementary information. There are no other material differences
between the consolidated statements of cash flows presented under previous Canadian
GAAP.
