REPORT TO SHAREHOLDERS
Dear fellow shareholders, employees, and stakeholders:
Over 100 years ago, an entrepreneurial machinist set up a pedal-powered lathe in a small shed. His
family was growing toward an eventual nine mouths to feed and the little house beside the train tracks
was cramped. It was with great hope for the future that the innovative tool for the sand casting
industry took form.
This drive to build a secure future was the contribution of my grandfather, Oliver Hammond and his
teenage sons, my uncles, Len and Roy. Once started, even the early death of Oliver didn’t deter
Grandma Lillian from continuing the mission with her sons and daughters.
As the technology of electricity and radio evolved, the little lathe gave way to electronic and wireless
products. The company grew as a key supplier to communications and radar manufacturers. In the
1960’s electrical enclosures and transformers broadened the product ranges. Attracted by a strong
family culture, skills were broadened by a new group of capable and engaged associates and
Hammond Manufacturing went from strength to strength.
Our progress is still led by dedicated and engaged associates. Hammond promotes from within,
stresses security and a continuous improvement culture. Hammond products have always been known
for quality and the Company for service excellence. Our word is our bond. This is what Grandma Lillian
taught and this is what will lead us into the future.
The following annual report illustrates our long-term thinking. We have embarked on a long-term
capital plan that will provide capacity for the future, even if there is a short-term cost.
Sincerely,
Robert F. Hammond
Chairman & CEO

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
COMPANY PROFILE
Hammond Manufacturing Company Limited manufactures electronic and electrical enclosures, outlet
strips and electronic transformers that are used by manufacturers of a wide range of electronic and
electrical products. Products are sold directly to Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEM) and through
a global network of distributors and agents.
Facilities are situated in Canada, the United States of America (US), the United Kingdom (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 a line of small
cases for sale through the Hammond Manufacturing Company’s sales channels and also manages
sourcing of die cast and plastic enclosures.
OPERATIONS
A large part of our results have been impacted by significant changes to foreign exchange rates. Close
to 50% of our sales are made in US dollars. We saw the US dollar open 2015 at $1.00 USD to $1.16
CDN and close 2015 at $1.00 USD to $1.384 CDN and then fall off through 2016 and close at $1.00
USD to $1.343 CDN. At these exchange levels it provides the company the opportunity to be more
competitive in the US market place.
This year our new facility came on line adding 119,000 square feet to our production capacity. Set up
of the new facility did include moving some production from other facilities causing a drain on our
resources and disruption to existing production. The move was completed and the new facility came
on line for the second half of 2016. Throughout the second half of 2016 we continued to streamline the
new facility and began planning the reconfiguration of our existing Edinburgh Rd. facility. With moving
some production from our Edinburgh Rd. location to the new location it has given us room to
reconfigure the remaining production areas to create more efficient work flows.

FOURTH QUARTER RESULTS
NET PRODUCT SALES
Net product sales, for the three months ended December 31, 2016 were $27,995,000, flat compared to
net product sales of $27,944,000 in the third quarter of 2016. Net product sales for the current quarter
were up 1.0% compared to net product sales of $27,714,000 for the three months ended December
31, 2015. Foreign exchange provided a lift of $417,000 and accounts for 1.5% of this increase and
thus actual sales declined 0.5%.
GROSS PROFIT
Gross profit for the fourth quarter of 2016 was 28.2% of net sales compared to 27.2% in the third
quarter of 2016. Gross profits of 28.2% are down from the fourth quarter of 2015 level of 33.1%.
Relocation expenses of $213,000 (0.8% of net product sales) for the move of some equipment to our
new facility were incurred and expensed this quarter. Gross profit is improving over the second and
third quarters of this year as the impact of setting up the new facility subsides. The next hurdle is to
increase sales to help absorb the additional fixed cost structure associated with the new facility.

Annual Report 2016 7
MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
SELLING AND DISTRIBUTION, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE, RESEARCH AND
DEVELOPMENT (“R&D”) EXPENSES AND NET LOSS ON SALE OF PROPERTY, PLANT
AND EQUIPMENT
Fourth quarter selling and distribution, general and administration and R&D expenses of $7,229,000
were 25.8% of net sales for the three months ended December 31, 2016, compared with spending of
$6,152,000 in the previous quarter that was 22.0% of net sales and $7,409,000 which was 26.7% of
net sales in the fourth quarter of 2015.Year over year spend was down despite the impact of foreign
exchange costs of $137,000.
Selling and distribution spending of $5,933,000 was down 3.6% over the prior quarter and up 4.5%
over the fourth quarter of 2015. With sales down year over year, certain sales incentives were not
required and released reducing expense levels in this quarter.
General and administrative expenses of $1,179,000 were down this quarter from the previous
quarter’s spending of $1,196,000 and up from the fourth quarter of 2015 spending of $1,132,000.
Research and development spend of $63,000 was level with 2015 at $65,000.
A net loss of $54,000 on sale of property, plant and equipment was recognized this quarter as some
assets were disposed of with the move to the new facility.
INCOME FROM OPERATING ACTIVITIES
Income from operating activities of $672,000 (2.4% of net sales) is up from the prior quarter of
$188,000 (0.7% of net sales) and down from the 2015 fourth quarter amount of $1,775,000 (6.4% of
net sales) with the difference from 2015 primarily driven by the impact of the new facility.
INTEREST
Fourth quarter interest expense of $245,000 was flat to the third quarter expense of $246,000 and up
$126,000 or 95.2% from the comparable period of the prior year. Our external debt has grown
significantly since 2015 as we embarked on our expansion project. External debt has risen from
$17,443,000 at the end of the fourth quarter in 2015 to $25,186,000 at the end of this quarter.
FOREIGN EXCHANGE TRANSACTIONAL IMPACT
During the fourth quarter of 2016, the Company recognized a loss on transactional foreign exchange
of $528,000 compared to a loss of $302,000 in the three months ended December 31, 2015. In the
fourth quarter of 2015 the US dollar opened at an exchange of $1.00 USD to $1.316 CDN and closed
at $1.00 USD to $1.384 CDN. While in the fourth quarter of 2016 the US dollar opened at an exchange
of $1.00 USD to $1.312 CDN and closed at $1.00 USD to $1.343 CDN. Most of our transactional
exposure is in accounts payable and the impact of foreign exchange movement in this direction
creates transactional losses. Intercompany balance impact was $234,000 of the $528,000 in 2016. In
the past the primary exposure was felt with the movement of the US dollar. With the impact of the
British exit from the European Union (Brexit) we have seen the British pound drop in value and due to
an intercompany receivable in GBP it generated a transactional loss in the quarter of approximately
$52,000 (included in the $234,000 noted above).
INCOME TAX EXPENSE
Net income tax expense in the fourth quarter was $99,000 which included the final true up for the
year’s activities. The group had a loss before taxes yet shows a tax expense, this is due to the
www.hammondmfg.com
Annual Report 2016 8
MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
differential rates of our entities. The US entity was profitable and has a tax rate of 34% whereas the
Canadian entity had a loss at a tax rate of 25%.
NET LOSS FOR THE PERIOD
A net loss of $135,000 (0.5% loss on net product sales) was recognized for the fourth quarter ended
December 31, 2016 this improved from a net loss of $296,000 (1.1% loss on net product sales) in the
previous quarter and down from the net income of $1,080,000 (3.9% return on net product sales)
recognized in the fourth quarter of 2015.
FOREIGN EXCHANGE TRANSLATION OF FOREIGN OPERATIONS
The translation adjustment for the fourth quarter of 2016 was a gain of $322,000 compared to a
translation gain of $763,000 in the fourth quarter of 2015. The translation of our US entity is the
primary driver of this impact. In the fourth quarter of 2015 the US dollar opened at an exchange of
$1.00 USD to $1.316 CDN and closed at $1.00 USD to $1.384 CDN which created most of the gain. In
the fourth quarter of 2016 the US dollar opened at an exchange of $1.00 USD to $1.312 CDN and
closed at $1.00 USD to $1.343 CDN which created most of that quarter’s gain. As noted earlier the
British pound has been impacted by Brexit. The impact from the drop in the value of the British pound
in this quarter was a loss of $32,000 while the on the US dollar impact provided a gain of $362,000.
TOTAL COMPREHENSIVE INCOME
Comprehensive income for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2016 was $187,000 (0.7% of net
product sales) down from the 3 months ended December 31, 2015 of $1,843,000 (6.7% of net product
sales).
FULL YEAR RESULTS
NET PRODUCT SALES
Net product sales of $115,724,000 in 2016 were down 1.2% compared to net sales of $117,164,000
reported in 2015. Foreign exchange accounts provided approximately $1,575,000 (1.3%) upside so
sales were actually down 2.5% or $3,015,000 in constant dollars. For the most part our markets were
flat. The primary cause of the decrease in sales was from the drop off in solar related sales. Our sales
have dropped around $5,000,000 year over year in this area as our key customer in the utility solar
area saw their sales decline.
GROSS PROFIT
In 2016, gross profit was $32,810,000 or 28.4% of net product sales compared to $37,140,000 or
31.7% achieved in 2015. The new facility infrastructure cost added a little over $1,500,000 for about
7.5 months of operation. Production inefficiencies associated with the move also created a drag on
gross profit levels. The group has seen production efficiencies improve in the last quarter and it will
continue to be one of our main focuses in 2017.
SELLING AND DISTRIBUTION, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE, RESEARCH AND
DEVELOPMENT (“R&D”) EXPENSES AND NET LOSS ON SALE OF PROPERTY, PLANT AND
EQUIPMENT
Selling and distribution, general and administration, R&D expenses including the net impact of the sale
of property, plant and equipment of $30,514,000 (26.4% of net product sales) was flat compared to the
2015 spend of $30,515,000 (26.0% of net product sales). Foreign exchange added approximately
www.hammondmfg.com
Annual Report 2016 9
MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
$270,000 to the cost base in 2016 so spend was actually down slightly compared to 2015 as a
reflection of the lower sales levels.
Selling and distribution expenses of $25,226,000 decreased 0.2% ($44,000) compared to 2015.
Foreign exchange added $281,000 to the cost base in 2016.
Our general and administrative expenses were down $21,000 or 0.4% compared to 2015 spending
levels of $4,935,000. In this case foreign exchange decreased the cost base by $12,000 as there was
a heavier weighting of British pound impact.
In 2016 the research and development spending level was up 3.5% to $299,000 over 2015 spending
levels. We continue to invest in our future.
A net loss of $54,000 on sale of property, plant and equipment was recognized this quarter as some
assets were disposed with the move to the new facility.
INCOME FROM OPERATING ACTIVITIES
Overall, 2016 earnings from operating activities of $2,296,000 (2.0% of net product sales) is down
compared to 2015 earnings of $6,625,000 (5.7% of net product sales).
INTEREST
Interest expense of $864,000 increased $519,000 or 250.7% from the 2015 expense level of
$345,000. Average external debt has been increasing over 2015 and 2016 as the group invested in
our new facility. External debt at the end of 2014 was $7,750,000 and rose to $17,443,000 by the end
of 2015 and end 2016 is at $25,186,000.
FOREIGN EXCHANGE TRANSACTIONAL IMPACT
A $212,000 foreign exchange transactional loss was reported in 2016, compared to a transactional
loss of $1,235,000 in 2015. Primarily driven by the impact of the US dollar, this year the fluctuation in
exchange rates were not as significant as in prior years.
INCOME TAX EXPENSE
2016 tax expenses of $540,000 were 44.1% of income before income tax. This compares to a 2015
tax expense of $1,508,000 which was 29.8% of income before income tax. Earnings by our US entity
at a tax rate of 34% are not offset by the loss of the Canadian entity at a tax rate of 25%.
NET INCOME FOR THE YEAR
Net income for the year ended December 31, 2016 was $684,000 (0.6% of net product sales) down
2.4% from the prior year net income of $3,550,000 (3.0% of net product sales).
FOREIGN EXCHANGE TRANSLATION OF FOREIGN OPERATIONS
During 2016 a loss of $722,000 on translational foreign exchange was realized compared to a gain of
$2,436,000 in 2015. In 2015 the US dollar opened at an exchange of $1.00 USD to $1.16 CDN and
closed at $1.00 USD to $1.384 CDN which created most of the gain. In 2016 the US dollar opened at
an exchange of $1.00 USD to $1.384 CDN and closed at $1.00 USD to $1.343 CDN which created
most of that year’s loss. As noted earlier Brexit has played a part in impacting the value of the British
pound. It opened 2016 at an exchange of $1.00 GBP to $2.04 CDN and closed at $1.00 GBP to
www.hammondmfg.com
Annual Report 2016 10
MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
$1.656 CDN which created a translational loss on our UK entity of $282,000 with our US entity making
up the remainder of the translational loss for 2016.
TOTAL COMPREHENSIVE INCOME (LOSS)
Comprehensive Loss for 2016 was $38,000 (0.0% of net product sales) down from a comprehensive
income of $5,986,000 (5.1% of net product sales) in 2015.

Net cash used in operating activities for 2016 was $3,370,000 (net cash generated in 2015 -
$6,680,000). Cash flows from financing activities amounted to a source of $7,566,000 (2015 – source
of $9,462,000). Cash used in investing activities was $4,071,000 (2015 - $17,126,000).
Trade and other receivables of $15,536,000 at December 31, 2016 have decreased 4.3% compared to
the 2015 year-end. Lower sales and improved days sales outstanding (DSO) contributed to this
decrease. DSO as at December 31, 2016 calculated on net sales was 52.5 days which was down from
57 days calculated as at December 31, 2015. The quality of accounts receivable remains high.
The year-end investment in inventory of $32,873,000 was an increase of 7.4% from the 2015 inventory
value of $30,599,000. Inventory turnover decreased to 2.62 from 2.83 (cost of sales divided by the
twelve month average inventory level).
www.hammondmfg.com
Annual Report 2016 11
MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
Trade and other payables decreased by $4,873,000, or 28.4% over 2015 to $17,149,000. The majority
of this decrease can be attributed to our expansion activities. At the end of 2015 there was a large
amount of payables held related to the expansion project.
Our total debt (long-term debt and bank indebtedness) increased by $7,743,000 over the prior year to
$25,186,000. Our debt-to-equity ratio at year-end was approximately 0.58:1 (2015 - 0.40:1).
The Company paid a dividend of $226,000 in May of 2016 (2015 - $226,000).
In 2016 the company completed construction on a new 119,000 sq. ft. facility to expand its
manufacturing capabilities. The project included the purchase or lease of supporting equipment for the
new facility as well as the upgrading of its existing production facility.
Property, plant, equipment and intangible asset additions in 2016 were $4,071,000 down from
$17,126,000 in 2015. The Company spent $1,021,000 (2015 - $9,894,000) on building and leasehold
improvements. $124,000 (2015 - $446,000) was invested toward upgrading and replacing machinery
and equipment, $2,360,000 (2015 - $5,881,000) was invested toward machinery and equipment for
capacity growth, $311,000 (2015 - $822,000) was invested in tooling, $214,000 (2015 - $37,000) was
invested in office equipment and $41,000 (2015 – $46,000) was spent on software and development
costs.
In 2016 the Group utilized $5,236,000 of its $11,000,000 lease line to finance new equipment
purchases. The Group entered into a sale-leaseback transaction with HSBC whereby equipment
previously purchased in 2015 and 2016 using the Company’s line of credit in the amount of
$4,271,000 USD was sold to the bank and leased back. There was no gain or loss on the sale
transaction.
The Group has successfully applied for and been approved by the Canadian government program
FedDev for an interest free loan up to $3,462,000 on eligible spending. As at December 31, 2016 the
group had received $1,535,000 of this funding (2015 - $385,000).
The Group has successfully applied for and been approved by the Southwestern Ontario Development
Fund for a grant up to $1,500,000 on eligible spending. As at December 31, 2016 the group has
received $500,000 of this funding (2015 - $300,000).
The grant and government funding noted above are contingent on adding new jobs and retaining
existing jobs at our Guelph Ontario locations. As at the time of this report the Group was in compliance
with this requirement and did not foresee any future compliance issues although employee levels are a
function of the market conditions which can be unpredictable.

In addition to the contractual obligations above, the Company has current obligations of $413,000
(2015 - $2,236,000) against open purchase orders for outstanding capital expenditures. The Company
also has open purchase commitments with RITEC as at December 31, 2016 of $588,000 (2015 -
$859,000). These expenditures should be completed in the first half of 2017.
SHARE CAPITAL
As of March 3, 2017, 8,556,000 Class A subordinate voting shares and 2,778,300 Class B common
shares were issued and outstanding. The Company also has a management share option plan, with
no options currently outstanding.
ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES
The Glen Ewing Property is a 50% co-tenancy with Hammond Power Solutions Inc. (HPSI) of a vacant
property located at 2 Glen Road, Georgetown. The soil has been contaminated by diesel oil, which is
believed to be related to site operations of prior owners. The Company and HPSI, as co-tenants, have
been working co-operatively with our environmental consultant, the Ministry of Environment and the
adjacent property owner to contain and remove any free flowing contaminants. The Company’s share
of expense for legal and consulting work for 2016 related to this property was $93,000 (2015 -
$85,000). 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 (2015 - $170,000) with
$70,000 (2015 - $70,000) presented as a current liability in the financial statements.
In June 2013, the Corporation received notice of an environmental claim from the owner of a property
located nearby to a property that was once partially owned by the Corporation. At this time the
Company feels that there is no merit to the claim.
Other than the above noted sites, 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 8). Based on
this analysis, it is management’s judgment that the reported carrying values of these properties are
reasonable.

Annual Report 2016 13
MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
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 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 three
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 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.
Inventory valuation 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.
Internal controls over financial reporting, no matter how well designed have inherent limitations.
Therefore, internal control over financial reporting determined to be effective can provide only
reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and may not prevent or detect all
misstatements. Moreover, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject
to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree
of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Annual Report 2016 14
MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
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,
2016. The design and evaluation of internal controls was completed using the framework and criteria
established in "Internal Control – Integrated Framework” updated May 2013, 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 marketplaces, industry and economic
related business risks, which could have some material, impact on our operating results.
These risks include:
• Key personnel;
• 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;
• Rising interest rates;
• Economic slowdown in the US and Canada;
• Brexit;
• 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.
www.hammondmfg.com
Annual Report 2016 15
MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
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 bit of 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 Comprehensive Income solely related to the
foreign exchange translation of its Consolidated Statements of Financial Position. 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
Bank indebtedness makes up close to 29% of the company debt financing. The rates for this financing
are low but variable. The company 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
The Canadian dollar is highly leveraged to natural resources and especially oil. We have seen a
weakening of the Canadian dollar against the US dollar as oil prices have fallen. A strengthening US
market place has also contributed to the strengthening US dollar. Since our costs are highly Canadian
dollar based, this is providing an opportunity to price aggressively in the US market place and increase
our market activity. Current outlook sees the US dollar remaining strong for some time. We will
continue to react to the market conditions to grow our business. 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.

Annual Report 2016 16
MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OUTLOOK FACTORS FOR 2017
Our current market expectation is to see stable but low growth in all our market places. The strong US
dollar is providing us the opportunity to competitively price our products and stimulate market share
growth. The Company continues with the objective of sales growth and increased market share but will
weigh this against achieving acceptable margins.
Our capacity expansion project which started in 2015 was completed in 2016. 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.

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, 201(cid:25) and December 31, 201(cid:24), the consolidated statements of comprehensive
income(cid:3) (cid:11)(cid:79)(cid:82)(cid:86)(cid:86)(cid:12), changes in equity and cash flows for the years then ended, 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, 201(cid:25) and December 31, 201(cid:24), and its consolidated financial performance and its consolidated
cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards.

HAMMOND MANUFACTURING COMPANY LIMITED
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015
(tabular amounts (except share 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, 2016 include the Company and its subsidiaries (together
referred to as the “Group” and individually as “Group entities”) and the Group’s interest in 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 3, 2017.
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.
d) Use of estimates:
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported
www.hammondmfg.com
Annual Report 2016 24
HAMMOND MANUFACTURING COMPANY LIMITED
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015
(tabular amounts (except share amounts) in thousands of Canadian dollars)
amount of assets, liabilities, income and expense. Actual results may differ from these
estimates. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the
estimates are revised and in any future periods affected. Management periodically reviews its
estimates and underlying assumptions relating to the following items:
i) Amortization
Management makes estimates of the appropriate useful lives to be assigned to intangible
assets based on the individual circumstances of an acquisition. Management reviews the
appropriateness of the lives assigned and makes adjustments prospectively, where
necessary.
ii)
Impairment tests
Management makes estimates of sustainable earnings, future expected cash flows and
discount rates in the determination of the value-in-use or fair value less costs of disposal
of cash-generating units (“CGUs”).
iii) Provision against accounts receivable
Management makes estimates on the recoverability of accounts receivable balances
based on specific facts and circumstances as well as past experience of write-offs.
Changes in the economic conditions in which the Company’s customers operate and their
underlying financial stability may impact these estimates.
iv) Employee future benefits
Management estimates the discount rates, retirement age and future costs of benefits
associated with providing future employee benefits and exercises judgment to determine
how many employees will utilize these benefits.
v) Tax assets
Deferred tax assets and liabilities contain estimates about the nature and timing of future
permanent and temporary differences as well as the future tax rates that will apply to
those differences. Changes in tax laws and rates as well as changes to the expected
timing of reversals may have a significant impact on the amounts recorded for deferred tax
assets and liabilities. Management closely monitors current and potential changes to tax
law and bases its estimates on the best available information at each reporting date.
vi) Depreciation
Management estimates future residual values and the rate at which the useful lives of
property and equipment are consumed to determine appropriate depreciation charges.
Estimates of residual value and useful lives are based on data and information from
various sources, including vendors, industry practice and company-specific history.
Management reviews the appropriateness of the lives assigned and makes adjustments
prospectively, where necessary.
vii) Stock options
Management makes estimates with respect to risk-free rates of return, expected volatility,
expected dividends, expected life of options, expected forfeitures and future market
conditions to calculate the fair value of stock options.

(tabular amounts (except share amounts) in thousands of Canadian dollars)
viii) Property value
Management estimates the value of the investment property to assess if impairment has
occurred. The estimate is made by reviewing local land prices and current sales of similar
properties as well as property tax value assessment.
ix) Environmental remediation:
Management estimates the value to complete the remediation project on the Glen Ewing
Property each year by reviewing the project status and activities still to be completed. Any
changes to the project scope are updated in the cost estimation model and any change in
the required reserve is booked in the current year.
x) Sales returns:
Management estimates the value of product that will be returned based on a historical
analysis. Any change to the estimate is recorded as a reduction of revenue in the current
period.
e) Use of judgments:
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make
judgments that affect the application of accounting policies and the interpretation of accounting
standards. Management periodically reviews its judgments and underlying assumptions
relating to the following items:
i) Provision for claims
Judgment is exercised in deciding whether a liability for a claim meets the criteria of a
present obligation and in assessing the probability of the outflow of economic resources.
ii) Lease classification
The Company enters into leases for premises and operating equipment that may be
classified as operating or finance leases. Management exercises judgment to determine
whether substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership have been
transferred to the Company.
iii) Impairment tests
Management exercises judgment to determine whether there are factors that would
indicate that an asset or a CGU is impaired. The determination of CGUs is also based on
management’s judgment and is an assessment of the smallest group of assets that
generate cash inflows independently of other assets. Factors considered include whether
an active market exists for the output produced by the asset or group of assets as well as
how management monitors and makes decisions about the Company’s operations.
iv) Intangible assets
Management exercises judgment to determine whether identifiable intangible assets were
acquired in a business combination, separate from goodwill and whether they will provide
future economic benefits to the Company.

3) Summary of significant accounting policies:
Except for the changes explained in “new standards and interpretations adopted” below, the
accounting policies set out below have been applied consistently to all periods presented in these
consolidated financial statements. These accounting policies have been consistently applied by all
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 Limited and its proportionate share of the Glen
Ewing Property, an unincorporated co-tenancy (50%). All significant intercompany balances
and
financial
statements include the investment in RITEC, which are accounted for using the equity method.
transactions have been eliminated on consolidation. The consolidated
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 include 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 property:
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 Property, 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 or unit of
production 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
Buildings
Office equipment
Machinery and equipment
Tooling general use
Tooling specific part
Rate
2.5% - 5%
10% - 25%
10% - 25%
10% - 25%
Based on anticipated life output
Machinery and equipment under capital lease is initially recorded at the present value of
minimum lease payments at the inception of the lease and amortized over the shorter of the
lease term and their useful lives.
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 have been externally acquired. 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.
The amortization rates based on the estimated useful lives for the current and comparative
periods are as follows:
Asset
Computer software
Development costs
Rate
20%
20%
Amortization methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at each financial year-end
and adjusted, if appropriate.
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

(tabular amounts (except share amounts) in thousands of Canadian dollars)
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
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 40% interest in RITEC.
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.
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. Provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at

(tabular amounts (except share amounts) in thousands of Canadian dollars)
a pre-tax rate that reflects the current market assessments of the time value of money and the
risks specific to the liability. Environmental provisions consider the present value of the
anticipated clean-up costs.
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) 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.
m) 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 accounts represent the Group’s estimate 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.

n)
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.
level. All
individually significant receivables are assessed
The Group considers evidence of impairment for receivables at both a specific asset and
collective
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.
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

Annual Report 2016 31
HAMMOND MANUFACTURING COMPANY LIMITED
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015
(tabular amounts (except share amounts) in thousands of Canadian dollars)
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. 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 five 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, 2016 and December 31, 2015, and concluded there was
no impairment.
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
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.
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.

Years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015
(tabular amounts (except share amounts) in thousands of Canadian dollars)
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) Finance costs:
Finance costs consist of interest on borrowings and finance leases.

(tabular amounts (except share amounts) in thousands of Canadian dollars)
r) Government Grants:
Grants from the government are recognized at their fair value where there is a reasonable
assurance that the grant will be received and the Company will comply with all attached
conditions.
Government grants in respect of capital expenditures are credited to the carrying amount of
the related asset and are released to income over the expected useful lives of the relevant
assets. Government grants which are not associated with an asset are credited to income so
as to net them against the expense to which they relate.
s) New standards and interpretations not yet adopted:
International Accounting Standards Board has

following Standards,
Interpretations and Amendments to Standards that are not yet effective and while considered
relevant to the Group have not yet been adopted by the Group.
issued
the
Recognition of Deferred Tax Assets for Unrealized Losses (Amendments to IAS 12)
In January 2016, the IASB issued Amendments to IAS 12, Income Taxes to clarify the
deferred tax treatment for debt instruments and the determination of ‘future taxable profit’ for
the recognition of deferred tax assets.
The amendments clarify that the existence of a deductible temporary difference on debt
instruments measured at fair value are dependent solely on a comparison of the carrying
amount of an asset and its tax base at the end of the reporting period, and is not affected by
possible future changes in the carrying amount or expected manner of recovery of the asset.
The methodology to determine the future taxable profits has been clarified to state that the
future taxable profit, for the purpose of the recognition of deferred tax asset, is not the bottom
line of the tax return, but is rather the bottom line of the tax return adjusted for the reversing
taxable temporary differences and deductible temporary differences to avoid double counting.
Consequently, taxable profit used for assessing the utilization of deductible temporary
differences is different from taxable profit on which income taxes are payable.
The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2017, with
earlier application permitted. The amendments shall be applied retrospectively. The Group
will adopt the amendments to IAS 12 in its consolidated financial statements for the annual
period beginning on January 1, 2017. The extent of the impact of adoption of the
amendments has not yet been determined.
IAS 40 Transfer of Investment Property
In December 2016, the IASB issued Amendments to IAS 40, Transfers of Investment
Property.
The amendments clarify that:
•
•
an entity shall transfer a property to, or from, investment property when, and only
when, there is a change in use of a property supported by evidence that a change in
use has occurred; and
the list of circumstances of when a change in use has occurred is non-exhaustive.
The amendments apply for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018. Early
adoption is permitted.

HAMMOND MANUFACTURING COMPANY LIMITED
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015
(tabular amounts (except share amounts) in thousands of Canadian dollars)
The amendments provide transitional provisions which allow an entity to apply the
amendments prospectively to changes in use that occur on or after the beginning of the
annual reporting period in which the entity first applies the amendments (the date of initial
application). At the date of initial application, an entity shall also reassess the classification of
property held at that date and, if applicable, reclassify property to reflect conditions that exist
at that date. An entity is permitted to apply the amendments retrospectively, but only if it does
not involve the use of hindsight.
The Group intends to adopt the amendments to IAS 40 in its consolidated financial statements
for the annual period beginning on January 1, 2018. The Group does not expect the
amendments to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.
Classification and Measurement of Share-Based Payment Transactions (Amendment to
IFRS 2):
In June 2016, the IASB issued amendments to IFRS 2, Share-Based Payments clarifying how
to account for certain types of share-based payment transactions. The amendments apply for
annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2017. As a practical simplification, the
amendments can be applied prospectively. Retrospective, or early, application is permitted if
information is available without the use of hindsight.
The amendments provide requirements on the accounting for:
•
•
the effects of vesting and non-vesting conditions on the measurement of cash-settled
share-based payments;
share-based payment transactions with a net settlement feature for withholding tax
obligations; and
• a modification to the terms and conditions of a share-based payment that changes the
classification of the transaction from cash-settled to equity settled.
The Group intends to adopt the amendments to IFRS 2 in its consolidated financial statements
for the annual period beginning on January 1, 2018. The extent of the impact of adoption of
the amendments has not yet been determined, however it is expected to be immaterial as the
Group does not provide any share-based payments to employees.
IFRS 15 Revenue from contracts with customers
In May 2014 the IASB issued IFRS 15, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. This new
standard is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018. IFRS 15 will
replace IAS 11, Construction Contracts, IAS 18, Revenue, IFRIC 13, Customer Loyalty
Programs, IFRIC 15, Agreements for the Construction of Real Estate, IFRIC 18, Transfer of
Assets from Customers and SIC 31, Revenue – Barter Transactions Involving Advertising
Services. On April 12, 2016, the IASB issued Clarification to IFRS 15, Revenue from Contracts
with Customers, which is effective at the same time as IFRS 15.
The standard contains a single model that applies to contracts with customers and two
approaches to recognizing revenue: at a point in time or over time. The model features a
contract-based five-step analysis of transactions to determine whether, how much and when
revenue is recognized. New estimates and judgmental thresholds have been introduced,
which may affect the amount and/or timing of revenue recognized. The new standard applies

(tabular amounts (except share amounts) in thousands of Canadian dollars)
to contracts with customers and is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after January 1,
2018. It does not apply to insurance contracts, financial instruments or lease contracts. The
extent of the impact of adoption of the standard has not yet been determined.
IFRS 9 Financial instruments
In July 2014 the IASB issued the complete IFRS 9, Financial Instruments (IFRS 9 (2014)).
The mandatory effective date of IFRS 9 is for annual periods beginning on or after January 1,
2018 and must be applied retrospectively with some exemptions. The restatement of prior
periods is not required and is only permitted if information is available without the use of
hindsight. IFRS 9 (2014) introduces new requirements for the classification and
measurement of financial assets. Under IFRS 9 (2014), financial assets are classified and
measured based on the business model in which they are held and the characteristics of their
contractual cash flows. The standard introduces additional changes relating to financial
liabilities. It also amends the impairment model by introducing a new ‘expected credit loss’
model for calculating impairment.
IFRS 9 (2014) also includes a new general hedge accounting standard which aligns hedge
accounting more closely with risk management. This new standard does not fundamentally
change the types of hedging relationships or the requirement to measure and recognize
ineffectiveness, however it will provide more hedging strategies that are used for risk
management to qualify for hedge accounting and introduce more judgment to assess the
effectiveness of a hedging relationship. Special transitional requirements have been set for
the application of the new general hedging model. The Group intends to adopt IFRS 9 (2014)
in its consolidated financial statements for the annual period beginning on January 1, 2018.
The extent of the impact of adoption of the standard has not yet been determined.
IFRS 16 Leases
In January 2016 the IASB issued IFRS 16, Leases. This standard introduces a single lessee
accounting model and requires a lessee to recognize assets and liabilities from all leases with
a term of more than 12 months, unless the underlying asset is of low value. A lessee is
required to recognize a right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying asset and
a lease liability representing its obligation to make lease payments. This standard
substantially carries forward the lessor accounting requirements of IAS 17, while requiring
enhanced disclosures to be provided by lessors. Other areas of the lease accounting model
have been impacted, including the definition of a lease. The Group intends to adopt IFRS 16
in its consolidated financial statements for the annual period beginning on January 1, 2019.
The extent of the impact of adoption of this standard has yet to be determined.
Annual Improvements to IFRSs 2014-2016 Cycle
In December 2016, as part of its process to make non-urgent but necessary amendments to
IFRS, the IASB issued narrow-scope amendments to IFRS 1 First-time Adoption of
International Financial Reporting Standards, IFRS 12 Disclosure of Interest in Other Entities
and IAS 28 Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures.
The amendments to IFRS 12 and IAS 28 clarify that:
•
the disclosure requirements for interests in other entities also apply to interests that
are classified (or included in a disposal group that is classified) as held for sale, held
for distribution or discontinued operations;

a venture capital organization, or other qualifying entity, may elect to measure its
investments in an associate or joint venture at fair value through profit or loss. This
election can be made on an investment-by-investment basis; and
a non-investment entity investor may elect to retain the fair value accounting applied
by an investment entity associate or investment entity joint venture to its subsidiaries.
This election can be made separately for each investment entity associate or joint
venture.
The amendments to IFRS 12 and IAS 28 are to be applied retrospectively for annual periods
beginning on or after January 1, 2017 and January 1, 2018 respectively.
The amendments also remove outdated exemptions for first-time adopters of IFRS, which are
effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018.
The Group intends to adopt these amendments in its consolidated financial statements for the
annual period beginning on January 1, 2017 or 2018 as applicable. The Group does not
expect the amendments to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.
Foreign Currency Transactions – Advance Consideration
In December 2016, the IASB issued IFRIC Interpretation 22, Foreign Currency Transactions
and Advance Consideration in response to diversity in practice in determining the appropriate
exchange rate to use when translating assets, expenses or income, when foreign currency
consideration is paid or received in advance of the item to which it relates.
The Interpretation clarifies that the date of the transaction for the purpose of determining the
exchange rate to use on initial recognition of the related asset, expense or income (or part of
it) is the date on which an entity initially recognizes the non-monetary asset or non-monetary
liability arising from the payment or receipt of advance consideration. For transactions
involving multiple payments or receipts, each payment or receipt gives rise to a separate
transaction date.
The Interpretation may be applied either:
•
•
retrospectively; or
prospectively to all assets, expenses and income in the scope of the Interpretation
initially recognized on or after:
–
–
the beginning of the reporting period in which the entity first applies the
Interpretation; or
the beginning of a prior reporting period presented as comparative information
in the financial statements.
The Interpretation is applicable for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018.
Earlier application is permitted.
The Group intends to adopt the Interpretation in its consolidated financial statements for the
annual period beginning on January 1, 2018. The Group does not expect the Interpretation to
have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

(tabular amounts (except share amounts) in thousands of Canadian dollars)
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 at
December 31, 2016.
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 five year present value cash flow projection was completed using the
Hammond Electronics Limited weighted average pre-tax cost of capital of 6.0%. The cash flow
model also incorporated growth rates in the range of 3% – 5% based on the market location and
the facility’s operating history. This was then compared to the carrying value of the facility’s assets,
including goodwill, to determine if there was impairment. Effective December 31, 2015 and
December 31, 2016, the assets, including goodwill of $110,000 (2015 – $136,000), of the
Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, Hammond Electronics Limited, were tested and no
impairment was found.
8)
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. 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, 2015. 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 2016 related to the property
were $93,000 (2015 - $85,000).

The provision for environmental remediation is based on the estimated costs to setup and extract
contamination from the Glen Ewing Property. The anticipated costs are based on an external
consultant’s remediation plan, discounted for expected timing of expenditures. There are
approximately three years remaining in the clean-up plan. The Glen Ewing Property is owned
equally as a co-tenant with Hammond Power Solutions Incorporated and any expenses or
liabilities in respect of the property have been agreed to be shared equally. The contamination did
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 Ministry of Environment is
aware of the remediation and the process being used. New extraction wells scheduled for 2015
were deferred for two years which in turn has pushed the remediation plan out two years. The
Company is satisfied that their consultants have provided the best estimate available for the
Company’s remaining portion of the environmental remediation costs for this site of $170,000
(December 31, 2015 - $170,000) with $70,000 (2015 - $70,000) presented as a current provision.
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.
13) 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:

Annual Report 2016 45

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015
(tabular amounts (except share amounts) in thousands of Canadian dollars)
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. This program was closed in 2014 and the obligation reflects the
anticipated cost for those employees who exercised this option prior to closing.
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% (2015 – 3.5%) per annum health cost increase and a discount rate of 6.0% (2015
– 6.5%) were utilized to determine its present value.
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 $21,000 (2015 - $22,000). Changes in assumptions resulted in nominal
gains/losses which have been included in general and administrative expense.

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. The Group does have one warehouse lease that runs to 2027.
During the year ended December 31, 2016, an amount of $1,931,000 was recognized as an
expense in profit or loss in respect of operating leases (2015 - $1,775,000).
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.
17) Commitments:
The Company has contractual obligations for outstanding capital expenditures of $413,000 (2015 -
$2,236,000). These expenditures should be completed in the first half of 2017.

18) Contingency:
A statement of claim was issued on June 19, 2013, against HMCL with respect to a property once
held by the Company. The claim alleges that contaminants originating from the property once
owned by HMCL have migrated to a nearby, but not adjoining property owned by the claimants.
The amount of the claim is not fully known but includes $2,000,000 which is the estimated cost of
construction of a barrier and related expenses. At this point in time, there is no certainty that the
contaminants emanated from the property once owned by HMCL. There were no significant
developments to this claim in 2016. Given the nature of the claim, there remains significant
uncertainty as to any costs to be incurred as a result of the claim and accordingly management is
unable to reasonably estimate any liability that may arise as a result of this claim. As such, no
amount has been recorded in these financial statements.

been incurred in either year.
In 1986, the Company established the management share option plan providing for the granting to
directors, officers and key employees of the Company options to purchase the Class A
subordinate voting shares of the Company. A maximum number of 540,000 Class A subordinate
voting shares are issuable under the plan. The exercise price for purchasing Class A subordinate
voting shares may not be less than the market price of the Class A subordinate voting shares at
the date the option is granted.

23) Determination of fair values:
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 term loans, and finance leases with fixed interest rates are comparable to their fair market
value since the interest rates approximate market rates.
The market values of financial assets and liabilities together with the carrying amounts shown in
the statements of financial position are as follows:

24) Financial instruments and risk management:
Overview
The Group has exposure to the following risks from its use of financial instruments:
•
•
credit risk
liquidity risk
• market risk
•
•
•
foreign currency risk
interest rate 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 oversight of the Group’s risk
management
the Group’s risk
management policies.
framework. The Board
for monitoring
is responsible
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.
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.

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 doubtful accounts that represents its estimate of
losses that could arise from the failure or inability of customers to make payments when due.
The main component 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
allowance is determined based on historical data of payment statistics for similar financial
assets.
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 carrying amount of financial assets represents the maximum credit exposure which was

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 flow requirements.
The Group has established a $15,500,000 overdraft facility that is secured against inventory
and accounts receivable. If drawn upon, interest would be payable at the rate of bank prime
plus 50 basis points (2015 - bank prime plus 50 basis points). The Company had available

unused credit facilities in the amount of $8,154,000 at December 31, 2016 (2015 - $3,339,000)
to meet fluctuations in working capital requirements.
The Group has established an $11,000,000 lease line to finance new equipment purchases of
which it has utilized $5,236,000.
The Group has successfully applied for and been approved by the Canadian government
program FedDev for an interest free loan up to $3,462,000 on eligible spending. As at
December 31, 2016 the group had received $1,535,000 of this funding (2015 - $385,000). The
present value of this funding $1,155,000 was set up as long term debt and $380,000 which
reflects the interest savings has been offset to property plant and equipment.
The Group has successfully applied for and been approved by the Southwestern Ontario
Development Fund for a grant up to $1,500,000 on eligible spending. As at December 31,
2016 the group had received $500,000 of this funding which has been offset to property plant
and equipment.
The grant and government funding noted above are contingent on adding new jobs and
retaining existing jobs at its Guelph, Ontario locations. As at December 31, 2016, the Group
was in compliance with this requirement.
The following are the contractual maturities of financial liabilities, including estimated interest

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.
Foreign currency risk:
The Group has a substantial number of transactions denominated in US dollars and is
exposed to risk with respect to fluctuations in exchange rates between Canadian and US
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 results. The following chart depicts the foreign currency positions.

Long-term debt includes loans and capital leases denominated in foreign currencies which
may affect the amount of principal and interest payments ultimately recorded.
Sensitivity Analysis:
An average one-cent decrease of the Canadian dollar against the US dollar in 2016 would
have increased net product sales by $489,000 (2015 - $529,000) and increased income
from operations by $536,000 (2015 - $562,000). Inversely, a one cent increase in the
Canadian dollar against the US dollar in 2016 would have had the equal but opposite
effect. 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 ending 2016 bank indebtedness
would increase annual interest expense by $73,000 (2015 - $123,000). This analysis
assumes that all other variables remain constant. Inversely, a one percent decrease in
the variable rates charged on ending 2016 bank indebtedness 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 behavior.
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.
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:
• maintain financial flexibility in order to preserve its ability to meet financial obligations
•
deploy capital to provide an appropriate investment return to its shareholders
• maintain capital structure that allows multiple financing options to the Group should a
financing need arise.
The Group defines its capital as follows:
