REPORT TO SHAREHOLDERS
Dear fellow shareholders, employees, and stakeholders:
In the following pages, you will find our detailed financial statements, schedules, and management
discussion and analysis of these numbers. I would like to highlight the continued improvements we are
making to the long term success of our company.
Firstly, we all read every day about the challenges that we face as a manufacturer. Business will cycle
up and down and we will manage this.
What is most important is that our company continues a long run strategy of continuous improvement.
We are driving this improvement as a team. This is what builds long term enterprise value and security
for all our stakeholders.
Over the past year we continued to launch new products into our electrical, datacom, and electronic
markets. The new products of today drive the sales growth of tomorrow. Our global reach continues to
grow as we seek out new international markets.
Our operations teams have continued to introduce lean principals, expanded training, and significant
equipment upgrades. We also put top priority on safety and continue to monitor our operations for
ways to prevent accidents. Our processes are continuously monitored for opportunities to reduce and
recycle waste.
Our manufacturing base is complimented by strong supplier relationships and especially our
partnerships with RITEC, Rolec and others.
Our annual report is an opportunity to look back at what was accomplished. Our operating culture at
Hammond is to look ahead. New products, new markets, new facilities are all part of our future. We
have a strong financial foundation and as important, a strong culture of continuous improvement with
employee involvement.
I am proud of our progress.
Sincerely,
Robert F. Hammond

net sales in the fourth quarter of 2011. The third quarter of 2012 included restructuring charges of
$190,000 while the remaining increase in spend over the fourth quarter of 2011 is primarily from
increased freight expense created by a mix of lowering our threshold order level for free shipping and
increased sales in the western provinces.

INCOME TAX EXPENSE
Tax expense for the fourth quarter of 2012 was 37.0% of profit before taxes which was consistent with

slightly from $313,000 (1.4% return on net sales) in the previous quarter and down from the fourth

The translation adjustment for the fourth quarter of 2012 was a gain of $129,000 compared to a
translation loss of $496,000 in the fourth quarter of 2011. The translation of our US entity is the primary
driver of this impact. In the fourth quarter of 2012 the US dollar opened at an exchange of $1.00 USD
to $0.983 CDN and closed at $1.00 USD to $0.997 CDN which created most of the gain. In the fourth
quarter of 2011 the US dollar opened at an exchange of $1.00 USD to $1.048 CDN and closed at
$1.00 USD to $1.017 CDN which created most of the loss.

FULL YEAR RESULTS
SALES
Net product sales of $92,425,000 in 2012 were up 8.1% from net sales of $85,487,000 reported in
2011. Net product sales were up just over 5.1% in Canada, 4.8% in the UK and the US saw growth of
10.5%. Increases were primarily market driven although some of this was the result of expanded
market share.
GROSS PROFIT
In 2012, gross profit was 27.4% of net product sales compared to 27.0% achieved in 2011. Lower
costs from increased shop efficiencies have been offset by more competitive market pricing.
SELLING, DISTRIBUTION, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE, RESEARCH AND
DEVELOPMENT (―R&D‖) EXPENSES AND NET GAIN/LOSS ON SALE OF PROPERTY,
PLANT AND EQUIPMENT
Selling, distribution, general and administration, R&D expenses including the net impact of the sale of

comprised 24.4% of net sales in 2012, compared with 23.6% in 2011. The primary driver of the
increase was an increase in commission and logistic expenses.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
INTEREST
Interest expense decreased $13,000 (2.9%) from the 2011 expense level to $437,000 in 2012. The

ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES
As described in the notes to the financial statements (note 18 and note 25), the Company has one site
which has environmental issues.
Glen Ewing Property 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 January 2002, 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 the
Company and HPSI for the historical contamination found on its property. In August of 2009, the
adjoining property owner, the Company 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 (MOE) or other governmental claims,

orders, directions, prosecutions, tickets, and environmental penalties. As part of this settlement all of
the parties dropped their civil actions against each other.
The Company 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. The Company’s share of expense for legal and consulting work for 2012 related to this property
was $33,000 (2011 - $117,000). The parties started remediation of the site in October 2009. The
Company has relied on its consultant’s best estimate for the remaining environmental remediation
costs. The Company’s remaining portion of environmental remediation costs for this site is $170,000
(2011 - $250,000) with $70,000 (2011 - $85,000) presented as a current liability in the financial
statements.
Other than the above site, management is not aware of any unusual or significant environmental
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 (note 11). 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 UK 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 provision (note 18) has been established based on an analysis of cost estimates
related to expected activities required for active remediation for Glen Ewing Property. It is
management’s judgment that the reported carrying value for this provision, 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.
Employee future health benefits (note 4) have been estimated based on eligible employees and
management’s best estimates of the utilization of these benefits on a specific employee basis. It is
management’s judgment that the reported carrying value for this provision, based on discounted cash
flows, is a reasonable estimate of the Company’s costs given information available at this time, but
acknowledges that this estimate is subject to future uncertainties.
12 Hammond Manufacturing Company Limited
www.hammondmfg.com
MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
Inventory valuation (note 8) includes provisions for slow moving inventory using management’s
judgments based on inactivity of the specific parts. Management also reviews inventory values
compared to anticipated sales values and provides a provision for lower of cost or market.
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.
CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance that all relevant
information is gathered and reported to 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:
(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,
2012. 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:
• Key personnel;
Annual Report 2012 13
MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
• 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.
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 revenues and 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 Consolidated Statements of Earnings solely related to the foreign exchange
translation of its Consolidated Balance Sheets. 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.
14 Hammond Manufacturing Company Limited
www.hammondmfg.com
MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
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 sales growth in 2013.
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.
OUTLOOK FACTORS FOR 2013
We continued to see sales growth in 2012 at lower margins than in the past. The Company continues
with the objective of sales growth and increased market share but will weigh this against achieving
acceptable margins.
Our plan for the 2013 core business foresees local currency growth in the low 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.

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.

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, 2012 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 US, 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).
The Board of Directors approved these consolidated financial statements on March 7, 2013.
(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
exchange differences are taken to the statement of comprehensive income. 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 US, 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.

2. Basis of preparation – continued:
(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:
Note 4 includes assumptions of employees utilization of future health benefits
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:
Effective January 1, 2012, the Company revised the period over which it amortizes certain items of
its manufacturing equipment to better reflect the consumption of the useful lives of the assets. This
change in accounting estimate arose from new information obtained and was treated prospectively.
The accounting policies set out below have been applied consistently to all periods presented in
these consolidated financial statements, unless otherwise indicated.
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)).
(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. 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 depreciation rates based on the estimated useful lives for the current and comparative
periods are as follows:
Asset
Rate
2.5% – 5%
Buildings
10% - 25%
Office equipment
10% - 25%
Machinery and equipment
Tooling general use
10% - 25%

(e) Property, plant and equipment - continued:
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:
Asset
Computer software
Development costs
(g) Investments measured using equity method:
Rate
20%
20%
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) which was dissolved in December of 2011.
(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
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
approximates 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, 2012 and December 31, 2011, 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.

3. Summary of significant accounting policies – continued:
(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.
(l)
Impairment:
(i) Financial assets:
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 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.

3. Summary of significant accounting policies – continued:
(l)
Impairment - continued:
(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.
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 is allocated.
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.

3. Summary of significant accounting policies – continued:
(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 is classified as loans and receivables
Trade and other receivables are classified as loans and receivables
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, 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.

(o) Employee Benefits - continued:
(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.

3. Summary of significant accounting policies – continued:
(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:
In October 2010, the IASB amended IFRS 7, Financial Instruments: Disclosures ("IFRS 7").
This amendment enhances disclosure requirements to aid financial statement users in
evaluating the nature of and risks associated with an entity’s continuing involvement in
derecognized financial assets. This amendment is effective for the Company’s annual
consolidated financial statements commencing January 1, 2012. The Company has completed
its assessment of this amendment and there was no impact on its Consolidated Financial
Statements.
The International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB") and International Financial Reporting
Interpretations Committee ("IFRIC") issued the following standards that have not been applied
in preparing these Consolidated Financial Statements as their effective dates fall within annual
periods beginning subsequent to the current reporting period.
The Company has not assessed the impact that the new and amended standards will have on
its consolidated financial statements.
IFRS 9 - Financial instruments: classification and measurement - this is the first part of a
new standard on classification and measurement of financial assets that will replace IAS 39
Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement. IFRS 9 has two measurement
categories: amortized cost and fair value. All equity instruments are measured at fair value. A
debt instrument is recorded at amortized cost only if the entity is holding it to collect contractual
cash flows and the cash flows represent principal and interest. Otherwise it is measured at fair
value with changes in fair value through profit and loss. In addition, this new standard has been
updated to include guidance on financial liabilities and de-recognition of financial instruments.
IFRS 9 is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2015.
IFRS 10 - Consolidation - requires an entity to consolidate an investee when it 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. Under existing IFRS, consolidation is
required when an entity has the power to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity
so as to obtain benefits from its activities. IFRS 10 replaces SIC-12 Consolidation—Special
Purpose Entities and parts of IAS 27 Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements. This
standard is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013.

3. Summary of significant accounting policies – continued:
(q) New standards and interpretations not yet adopted - continued:
IFRS 11 - Joint arrangements - requires a venturer to classify its interest in a joint
arrangement as a joint venture or joint operation. Joint ventures will be accounted for using the
equity method of accounting whereas for a joint operation the venture will recognize its share of
the assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses of the joint operation. Under existing IFRS, entities
have the choice to proportionately consolidate or equity account for interests in joint ventures.
IFRS 11 supersedes IAS 31, Interests in Joint Ventures, and SIC-13, Jointly Controlled Entities
Non-monetary Contributions by Venturers. This Standard is effective for annual periods
beginning on or after January 1, 2013.
IFRS 12 - Disclosure of interests in other entities - establishes disclosure requirements for
interests in other entities, such as joint arrangements, associates, special purpose vehicles and
off balance sheet vehicles. The standard carries forward existing disclosures and also
introduces significant additional disclosure requirements that address the nature of, and risks
associated with, an entity’s interests in other entities. This standard is effective for annual
periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013.
IFRS 13 - Fair value measurement - is a comprehensive standard for fair value measurement
and disclosure requirements for use across all IFRSs. The new standard clarifies that fair value
is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly
transaction between market participants at the measurement date. It also establishes
disclosures about fair value measurement. Under existing IFRS, guidance on measuring and
disclosing fair value is dispersed among the specific standards requiring fair value
measurements and in many cases does not reflect a clear measurement basis or consistent
disclosures. IFRS 13 is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013.
4. Employee future benefits:
The Company’s net obligation in respect of its current and long-term employee benefits is calculated
by estimating the amount of future benefit that employees have earned in return for their service in
the current and prior periods. The terms of the agreements do not require the Company to fund
these obligations as they accumulate. The Company has accounted for these post-employment
benefits as defined benefit plans. The benefit plans are broken into two categories:
(a) Benefit for post-employment health benefits:
If an employee meets the set criteria and retires between the age of 60 and 65, their health
plan will continue until age 65.
(b) Disability health coverage:
This benefit is for employees who are off work due to a covered disability. Health coverage will
continue until they are off disability or reach the age of 65, whichever occurs first.
In determining both the post-employment health benefit and the disability health coverage liabilities
a 3.5% per annum health cost increase and a discount rate of 6.0% were utilized to determine its

present value. The discount rate used approximated the Company`s weighted average cost of
capital.
Assumed healthcare cost trend rates affect the amounts recognized in profit and loss. A 1% change
in assumed healthcare cost trend rates would increase (decrease) the aggregate service and
interest costs by $25,000 (2011 - $3,000) respectively. Changes in assumptions resulted in nominal
gains/losses which have been included in general and administrative expense.
Prior to December 31, 2012, liabilities in respect of employee future benefits were classified as
other long-term liabilities. At December 31, 2012 the employee future benefit liabilities have been
disclosed in both current and long-term liabilities. The comparative amounts have been reclassified

10. Intangible assets – continued:
All the intangible assets have been externally acquired.
Impairment testing for cash-generating units:
The Company has defined its cash generating units as each individual legal entity, due to the fact
that each location is largely independent of the other entities and each is ultimately responsible for
sales generated in their markets. The Company monitors the performance of each legal entity
through the use of profitability analysis based on the most recent business plan in place as of
December 31, 2012.
Impairment testing for cash-generating units containing goodwill:
The Company performed an impairment test on the goodwill of its UK entity using the value in use
method, under which a 5-year present value cash flow projection was completed using the
Company’s weighted average pre-tax cost of capital of 6.5%. The cash flow model also
incorporated growth rates in the range of 3% – 5% depending on the market location and the
facility’s operating history. This was then compared to the carrying value of the facility’s assets to
determine if there was impairment. Effective December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2012, the
assets, including goodwill of $107,000, 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 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, 2011. 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 2012 related to the property were $33,000 (2011 - $117,000).
12. Equity investments:
The Company had a 50% ownership of 1159714 Ontario Inc. Its opening balance in 2011
represents the equity left from this entity which was a loan receivable. The entity was dissolved on
December 30, 2011 and proceeds were dispersed to the shareholders.

The provision for environmental remediation is based on the estimated costs to setup and extract
contamination from our Glen Ewing Property. The anticipated costs are based on an external
consultant’s remediation plan, discounted for timing using a discount rate of 6% (2011 – 6%) which
approximates the Company’s weighted average cost of capital. There are three years remaining in
the clean-up plan.
The provision for sales returns is based on estimates from historical returns of product. The
provision reflects the estimated profit margin of the anticipated returns.

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, 2012, an amount of $1,445,000 was recognized as an
expense in profit or loss in respect of operating leases (2011 - $1,317,000).
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 Company 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 Company determined that the leases are operating leases.
21. Commitments:
The Company has contractual obligations for outstanding capital expenditures of $348,000 (2011 -
$250,000). These expenditures should be completed in the first half of 2013.
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, 2012 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.

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.

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 $17,396,000 overdraft facility that is secured against inventory
and accounts receivable. Interest would be payable at the rate of bank prime plus 50 basis
points (2011 - bank prime plus 50 basis points). The Company had available unused credit
facilities in the amount of $7,148,000 at December 31, 2012 (2011 - $3,664,000) 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 (AUD) of $49,000, USD $3,393,000,
New Zealand (NZD) $15,000, New Taiwanese (TWD) $150,000 and £526,000 (2011 – AUD
$67,000, US $3,425,000, NZD $22,000, TWD $487,000 and £412,000). Accounts payable
include AUD $7,000, USD $827,000, €101,000 and £342,000 (2011 – AUD $7,000, US
$1,184,000, €148,000 and £229,000). Long-term debt includes loans and capital leases
denominated in US funds totaling USD $1,926,000 (2011 - US $1,773,000) and denominated
in GBP Sterling funds totaling £20,000 (2011 - £48,000), 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, 2012 would have decreased (increased) equity by $498,000, which is derived
from a decrease (increase) in net earnings for the year of $414,000 and a decrease (increase)
in balance sheet valuation of $84,000. 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 2012 debt held would
increase interest expense by $105,000. This analysis assumes that all other variables remain
constant. Inversely, a one percent decrease in the variable rates charged on our ending 2012
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 2011 and 2012.

25. Contingency:
The property at 2 Glen Road, Georgetown, Ontario is owned equally as a co-tenant with Hammond
Power Solutions Incorporated (HPSI) and any expenses or liabilities in respect of the property has
been agreed to be shared equally. In January 2002, the Company and HPSI were served with a
statement of claim by an adjoining industrial property owner, in which the plaintiff 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. The
parties have cooperatively developed a remediation action plan and began remediation in October
2009. The MOE is aware of the remediation and the process being used. The Company is satisfied
