This analysis shows Hammond as a strong company with a number of areas for continual improvement. Cost reduction, growth of market share, and lower bank debt are all on our focus list. I would especially like to point out that 62% of our revenues come from customers outside Canada. Moreover, our US sales growth of 14% confirms that we can be successful against our competition when we all work together. I would also like to mention that Hammond has broad employee ownership. Shares trade on the Toronto exchange and are owned by hundreds of associates. As you read this annual report, we are already well into 2019 and its challenges. All shareholders can be assured that our associates in all countries are keeping Hammond strong and growing. Sincerely, Robert F. Hammond Chairman & CEO ANNUAL MEETING The meeting of the Shareholders will be held on April 29, 2019 at Cutten Fields 190 College Avenue East, Guelph, Ontario Commencing at 10:00 a.m. www.hammondmfg.com Annual Report 2018 4 MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS This management discussion and analysis (MD&A) comments on the consolidated financial position and financial performance of Hammond Manufacturing Company Limited (“HMCL” or “the Company”) for the year ended December 31, 2018.

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 Our 2016 expansion has been put to good use. In 2018 we continued with smaller projects to stream line activities as our market demand continued to be strong. Shop activities outpaced the market as inventory levels were replenished and expanded to ensure we can meet our customer commitments. With lower sales in the fourth quarter the inventories are now replenished. The challenge in the first quarter of 2019 will be to keep the shop loaded for effective overhead absorption. QUARTERLY INFORMATION HAMMOND MANUFACTURING COMPANY LIMITED Summary of Quarterly Financial Information (In thousands of Canadian dollars except earnings per share) Q1 Q2 Q3 Q4 2018 Year-to-date Total Net product sales $36,150 $37,750 $37,333 $34,369 $145,602 Income from operating activities Net income for the period Earnings per share - Basic & diluted 1,984 1,097 $0.10 1,925 904 $0.08 2,207 1,489 $0.13 1,597 274 $0.02 7,713 3,764 $0.33 Net product sales $31,727 $33,486 $31,421 $30,772 $127,406 Q1 Q2 Q3 Q4 2017 Year-to-date Total Income from operating activities Net income for the period 1,449 1,002 2,282 1,579 1,032 1,161 Earnings per share - Basic & diluted Note: Interim consolidated financial information has not been reviewed by an auditor. $0.09 $0.14 $0.10 1,210 818 $0.07 5,973 4,560 $0.40 www.hammondmfg.com Annual Report 2018 6 MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS FOURTH QUARTER RESULTS NET PRODUCT SALES Net product sales, for the three months ended December 31, 2018 were $34,369,000, down 7.9% compared to net product sales of $37,333,000 in the third quarter of 2018. As expected, December sales were down due to holidays. This can account for 3.5% of the drop. We did feel a drop in overall activity on a daily basis compared to the third quarter although we cannot tie this to any specific event. Net product sales for the current quarter were up 11.7% compared to net product sales of $30,772,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2017. Foreign exchange helped the current quarter compared to the last quarter by providing a currency gain of $96,000. Foreign exchange had a positive impact on the current quarter versus the comparable quarter of 2017 by $46,000. GROSS PROFIT Gross profit of $10,609,000 for the fourth quarter of 2018 was 30.9% of net sales compared to 29.5% in the third quarter of 2018. Despite the slowdown in sales, plant production levels remained strong as we took the opportunity to rebuild some of our depleted inventory. Price increases put in play at the end of the third quarter along with a positive foreign exchange impact helped offset material and labour cost increases as well as providing some positive margin upside. Gross profits of 30.9% are up from the fourth quarter of 2017 level of 29.9%. SELLING AND DISTRIBUTION, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE, RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT (“R&D”) EXPENSES AND LOSS (GAIN) ON DISPOSAL OF PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT Fourth quarter selling and distribution, general and administrative, R&D expenses and loss (gain) on the disposal of property plant and equipment of $9,012,000 was 26.2% of net sales for the three months ended December 31, 2018. This compared with spending of $8,817,000 in the previous quarter that was 23.6% of net sales. Foreign exchange impact increased costs by approximately $15,000. The fourth quarter of 2017 saw spending levels of $7,989,000 which was 26.0% of net sales. Foreign exchange increased the expense levels by $15,000 over this comparative period also. Selling and distribution spending of $7,548,000 was up 2.1% over the prior quarter and up 12.8% over the fourth quarter of 2017. Despite the drop in sales prepaid freight expenses were up quarter over quarter. Our customers continue to take full advantage of our prepaid freight offering which has been increasing our freight expenses. The increase over the fourth quarter of 2017 is primarily driven from the increase in sales. General and administrative expenses of $1,405,000 were up this quarter from the previous quarter’s spending of $1,321,000 and up over the fourth quarter spend of 2017 of $1,344,000. Non-recurring restructuring costs increased the fourth quarter spend of 2018 by $50,000. A project undertaken to upgrade our information systems hardware and software in the fourth quarter incurred $40,000 of non- recurring expenses. Research and development spend of $103,000 was up from the comparative fourth quarter spend of $59,000 in 2017. Increased staffing levels account for $20,000 of this increase. Canadian Standards Association charges were up $21,000 over the comparative quarter and travel expense related to training increased expense levels by $5,000. www.hammondmfg.com Annual Report 2018 7 MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS A net gain of $44,000 on disposal of property, plant and equipment was recognized this quarter with the sale of our old punch that was fully depreciated and replaced by a modern piece of equipment INCOME FROM OPERATING ACTIVITIES Income from operating activities of $1,597,000 (4.6% of net sales) is down from the prior quarter of $2,207,000 (5.9% of net sales) and up from the 2017 fourth quarter amount of $1,210,000 (3.9% of net sales). INTEREST Interest expense in the fourth quarter was $607,000 compared to $243,000 in the prior quarter. Interest expense is on the rise due to increased borrowings and a lump sum interest payment. FOREIGN EXCHANGE TRANSACTIONAL IMPACT During the fourth quarter of 2018, the Company recognized a loss on transactional foreign exchange of $675,000 compared to a gain of $2,000 in the three months ended December 31, 2017. In 2018 the intercompany balance impact was $420,000 of the $675,000 loss. The spot rate at the opening of the fourth quarter of 2018 was 1.00 USD to 1.2945 CAD. The closing spot rate for 2018 was 1.00 USD to 1.3642 CAD. The opening intercompany balance payable to our US entity was almost $6.0 million. The ending intercompany payable was $7.6 million USD. Since the Canadian entity held the payable in US funds the 6.97 cent change in foreign exchange rates payable increased the Canadian valuation of the payable due creating a transactional expense. . There is an offset to the intercompany impact found in the foreign exchange translation of foreign operations as the offsetting US receivable is due from the Canadian entity and would be part of the translational adjustment of the US entities balance sheet on consolidation. INCOME TAX EXPENSE (INCOME) The final true up for the year’s activities combined with a low income before tax provided for tax income of $24,000. NET INCOME (LOSS) FOR THE PERIOD Net income of $274,000 (0.8% return on net product sales) was recognized for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2018 this was down from a net return of $1,489,000 (4.0% return on net product sales) in the previous quarter and down from the net return of $818,000 (2.7% return on net product sales) recognized in the fourth quarter of 2017. FOREIGN EXCHANGE TRANSLATION OF FOREIGN OPERATIONS The translation adjustment for the fourth quarter of 2018 was a gain of $1,036,000 compared to a translation gain of $89,000 in the fourth quarter of 2017. The Canadian dollar weakening against our foreign entity currencies provided a positive impact from foreign translation. TOTAL COMPREHENSIVE INCOME Comprehensive income for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2018 was $1,310,000 (3.8% of net product sales) up from the 3 months ended December 31, 2017 of $907,000 (2.9% of net product sales) and up from the previous quarters total comprehensive income of $1,135,000 (3.0% of net product sales). www.hammondmfg.com Annual Report 2018 8 MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS FULL YEAR RESULTS NET PRODUCT SALES Net product sales of $145,602,000 in 2018 were up 14.3% compared to net sales of $127,406,000 reported in 2017. Foreign exchange had a positive impact on the year over year reporting by approximately $238,000 (0.2%) so sales were actually up 14.1% in constant dollars. Price increases make up 3 to 4% of the increase so our volume increase is close to 10%. Our markets did show signs of leveling off in the fourth quarter and we are monitoring closely. GROSS PROFIT In 2018, gross profit was $43,426,000 or 29.8% of net product sales compared to $38,006,000 or 29.8% achieved in 2017.Through price increases and efficiency improvements we were able to maintain our gross profit margin levels. SELLING AND DISTRIBUTION, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE, RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT (“R&D”) EXPENSES AND LOSS (GAIN) ON DISPOSAL OF PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT Selling and distribution, general and administrative, R&D expenses including the net impact of the disposal of property, plant and equipment of $35,713,000 (24.5% of net product sales) was up 11.5% compared to the 2017 spend of $32,033,000 (25.1% of net product sales). Foreign exchange had the impact of increasing the reported expense levels by approximately $65,000 compared to the cost base in 2017 so spend was actually up 11.3% compared to 2017. Selling and distribution expenses of $30,030,000 increased 11.2% compared to 2017. Foreign exchange had the impact of increasing comparative costs by $47,000. On a constant dollar basis our costs were up 11.1%. Our prepaid freight program costs of $8.6 million were up 26.3% over 2017 cost levels. Our freight program is one of our drivers to grow volume. The remaining expenses were up only 6.3% as there is a fixed expense component that provides an upside as we grow. Our general and administrative expenses of $5,341,000 were up $504,000 or 10.4% compared to 2017 spending levels of $4,837,000. Foreign exchange increased costs over 2017 by $18,000. The year over year increases came from the following. Staff additions added $130,000 and provision increases for bad debts of $123,000 of which $70,000 was related to one specific customer. Legal expenses were up $38,000 as the defense continues for a lawsuit noted under environmental issues. We also had non- recurring restructuring charges of $47,000. We also incurred charges for hardware and software upgrades of $60,000 to support our computer systems. Travel and entertainment was up $48,000 as a function of increased sales levels. In 2018 the research and development spending level was up 30.6% to $371,000 over 2017 spending levels. The primary driver of this increase was an addition of an employee to the department. We continue to invest in our future. A net gain of $29,000 on disposal of property, plant and equipment was recognized as some old equipment was sold and replaced. This compares to a net gain on disposals of $87,000 recognized in 2017. INCOME FROM OPERATING ACTIVITIES Overall, 2018 earnings from operating activities of $7,713,000 (5.3% of net product sales) is up compared to 2017 earnings of $5,973,000 (4.7% of net product sales). www.hammondmfg.com Annual Report 2018 9 MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS INTEREST Interest expense of $1,414,000 increased $414,000 or 41.4% from the 2017 expense level of $1,000,000. Our external debt grew throughout 2018 as we invested in our operations. External debt at the end of 2018 was $31,210,000 up from $22,552,000 at the end of 2017. FOREIGN EXCHANGE TRANSACTIONAL IMPACT A $1,122,000 foreign exchange transactional loss was reported in 2018, compared to a transactional gain of $1,286,000 in 2017. The Canadian dollar weakened against the US dollar throughout 2018. It opened at $1.00 USD to $1.255 CAD and closed the year at $1.00 USD to $1.364 CAD. A large portion of the gain is from the intercompany receivable. Our Canadian entity has a payable to our US entity in US dollars. The Opening payable was $6.9 million USD and the closing balance was $7.6 million. This year it created transaction losses of just under $800,000 with the offset going to translational gains of other foreign operations. INCOME TAX EXPENSE 2018 tax expenses of $1,288,000 were 25.5% of income before income tax. This compares to a 2017 tax expense of $1,827,000 which was 28.6% of income before income tax. Taxes as a percent of income before income tax improved as a direct result of the US tax rate reforms that came into play in 2018. NET INCOME FOR THE YEAR Net income for the year ended December 31, 2018 was $3,764,000 (2.6% of net product sales) down 17.5% from the prior year net income of $4,560,000 (3.6% of net product sales). FOREIGN EXCHANGE TRANSLATION OF FOREIGN OPERATIONS During 2018 a gain of $1,532,000 on translational foreign exchange was realized compared to a loss of $1,041,000 in 2017. The strengthening Canadian dollar caused a decrease in the valuation of our foreign entities. As noted earlier a large part of this is offset by the foreign exchange transactional impact of intercompany loans. TOTAL COMPREHENSIVE INCOME Comprehensive income for 2018 was $5,296,000 (3.6% of net product sales) up from comprehensive income of $3,519,000 (2.8% of net product sales) in 2017. www.hammondmfg.com Annual Report 2018 10 MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS SELECTED ANNUAL INFORMATION Three year financial summary: For the years ended December 31, (In thousands except per share amounts) Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income 2018 2017 2016 Net product sales $ 145,602 $ 127,406 $ 115,724 Income from operating activities Net income for the year Per share - basic & fully diluted net earnings for the year 7,713 3,764 5,973 4,560 2,296 684 $0.33 $0.40 $0.06 Consolidated Statement of Financial Position 2018 2017 2016 Total assets Total funded debt Working capital Net cash generated from (used in) operating activities Dividends declared and paid Shareholders' equity CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY $ $ $ 100,813 31,210 20,152 1,354 452 51,401 85,889 22,552 21,270 7,244 226 46,557 82,157 25,186 19,016 (3,370) 226 43,264 $ $ $ Net cash generated in operating activities for 2018 was $1,354,000 (net cash generated in 2017 - $7,244,000).

The Company also has a management share option plan, with no options currently outstanding. EBITDA EBITDA for the fourth quarter of 2018 was $1,776,000 down from $2,042,000 in the fourth quarter of 2017. If you remove the impact of the transactional impact of foreign exchange it shows as an improvement quarter over quarter (see chart below). Year to date 2018 EBITDA was $9,808,000 down www.hammondmfg.com Annual Report 2018 12 MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS $590,000 over the $10,398,000 achieved in 2017. EBITDA adjusted for foreign exchange shows a year over year improvement. EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA is calculated as outlined in the following table: Reconciliation of Net Earnings to Earnings Before Interest, Taxes Depreciation and Amortization (EBITDA)*.

EBITDA represents earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA removes the impact of transactional foreign exchange so management can assess the impact of this on the operating results. Management uses these measurements to evaluate the operating results of the Company. These measures are also important to management since they are used by the Company’s lenders to evaluate the ongoing cash generating capability of the Company and therefore the amounts those lenders are willing to lend to the Company. 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 2018 related to this property was $89,000 (2017 - $76,000). In 2017 the Company was successful in claiming back $126,000 of prior and current year expenses from an adjacent property owner who is also involved in the environmental remediation. $70,000 was for years prior to 2016, $31,000 was for the year 2016 and $25,000 was for 2017. The net reported expense for 2018 was $89,000 (2017 – income of $50,000). 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 (2017 - $170,000) with $70,000 (2017 - $70,000) presented as a current liability in the consolidated financial statements. A statement of claim was issued on June 19, 2013, against the Company with respect to a property once held by the Company. The claim alleges that contaminants originating from the property once owned by the Company have migrated to a nearby, but not adjoining property owned by the claimants. The amount www.hammondmfg.com Annual Report 2018 13 MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS of the claim is not fully known but includes $3,500,000 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 the Company. Furthermore, 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 consolidated financial statements. In 2017 the claim moved into the discovery proceedings level and we have seen corresponding legal fees in 2017 and 2018. 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 consolidated 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 consolidated financial statements (note 8). Based on this analysis, it is management’s judgment that the reported carrying values of these properties are reasonable. The value of goodwill related to the Company’s UK operations was reviewed by management and tested for impairment in accordance with the guidelines set out in International Accounting Standard 36. Based on this analysis, it is management’s judgment that the reported carrying value for goodwill is not impaired. The environmental provision 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 net realizable value. 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. www.hammondmfg.com Annual Report 2018 14 MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS 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. Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures: Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining disclosure controls and procedures. Under the supervision and with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Chief Financial Officer (CFO), management evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures. Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in annual filings, interim filings or other reports filed or submitted by the Company under securities legislation is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the securities legislation and include controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the annual filings, interim filings or other reports filed or submitted under securities legislation is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Company’s certifying officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effectively designed as at the December 31, 2018 year end. Evaluation of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining internal control over financial reporting. Under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s CEO and the CFO, management evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Internal control is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, an issuer’s certifying officers, and effected by the issuer’s board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with IFRS and includes those policies and procedures that: (a) pertain to the www.hammondmfg.com Annual Report 2018 15 MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (b) are designed to provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with the IFRS, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (c) are designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the annual financial statements or interim financial statements. The CEO and CFO did not identify any material weaknesses in their evaluation of internal control, and concluded that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was effective, as at December 31, 2018. There has been no change to internal controls in the most recent quarter ended on December 31, 2018 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. 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: • • • • • Security Breaches or Disruptions of Information Technology Systems Risk; 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. Security Breaches or Disruptions of Information Technology Systems Risk The Corporation utilizes a variety of information technology systems to manage and operate its businesses. These information systems may be owned and maintained by the Corporation, outsource providers or third parties such as customers, vendors and contractors. These information systems are subject to attacks, failures, and access denials from a number of potential sources including viruses, destructive or inadequate code, power failures, and physical damage to computers, hard drives, communication lines and networking equipment. Despite the implementation of extensive security www.hammondmfg.com Annual Report 2018 16 MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS measures (including access controls, data encryption, vulnerability assessments, continuous monitoring, and maintenance of back-up and protective systems), the Corporation’s information technology systems are potentially vulnerable to interruptions or delays, unauthorized access, computer viruses, cyber-attack and other events, ranging from individual attempts to advanced persistent threats. It is possible a security breach could result in theft of trade secrets or other intellectual property or disclosure of confidential customer, supplier or employee information. Should the Corporation be unable to prevent security breaches, disruptions could have an adverse effect on the Corporation’s operations and financial results, as well as expose the Corporation to litigation, increased cyber security protection costs, and reputational damage. Key Personnel The Company is dependent on the experience and industry knowledge of its executive officers and other key employees to execute its business plan. If the Company were to experience a substantial turnover in its leadership or other key employees, business results from operations and financial condition could be materially adversely affected. Commodity Prices An area that has had a definite effect on the Company’s costs and earnings is the cyclical effects and unprecedented market cost pressures of copper commodity and steel pricing in the global market. Due to this unpredictability and volatility, particularly with copper pricing, the Company does not currently utilize future contracts. Strategic supply line agreements and alliances are in place with our major steel suppliers to ensure adequate supply and competitive market pricing. Foreign Exchange The Company’s operating results are reported in Canadian dollars. A significant portion of our sales is denominated in US dollars. A change in the value of the Canadian dollar against the US dollar will impact revenues and earnings. We have created a 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. In a sensitivity review, if we did not react in any way to a one cent change in the value of the Canadian to US dollar value it would have an approximate impact of $679,000 for each cent movement. 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. The Company is also exposed www.hammondmfg.com Annual Report 2018 17 MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS to the impact from the British pound sterling and Euro as well as to the Australian dollar but not to the level of exposure of the US dollar. Interest Rates Bank indebtedness makes up close to 24.3% of the Company’s 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 Over the past several years the US dollar compared to the Canadian dollar has ranged from the low 1.20’s to the high 1.30’s Canadian dollar to US dollar ratio. A strengthening US market place has 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. We will continue to react to the market conditions to grow our business. Our efforts over the next 12 months will continue to 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. Global Political Unrest Today’s politics can have significant repercussions on doing business. Issues are constantly changing and management has to assess the potential outcomes of the different issues and be prepared to react or mitigate anything that would have a negative impact on our business. In 2018 the North American Trade Agreement was under negotiation signed on November 30, 2018. It still needs to be ratified. US tariffs put in place on steel are still in play despite have the agreement in place. BREXIT is currently playing out overseas. We have operations in the UK that service the UK and Europe. The landscape of doing business will more than likely change as a result of the situation although no one can determine what the final result will look like. Management is closely watching the situation and is looking at different options for doing business overseas. ACCOUNTING POLICY CHANGES IFRS 9 Financial instruments Effective January 1, 2018, the Company adopted IFRS 9 on a retrospective basis, which sets out requirements for recognition and measurement, impairment, derecognition of financial instruments and general hedge accounting. This standard simplifies the classification of a financial asset as either at amortized cost or at fair value as opposed to the multiple classifications which were permitted under IAS 39. This standard also requires the use of a single impairment method as opposed to the multiple methods in IAS 39. The approach in IFRS 9 is based on how an entity manages its financial instruments in the context of its business model and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial assets. The standard also adds guidance on the classification and measurement of financial liabilities. Cash and trade and other receivables that were classified as loans and receivables under IAS 39 are classified as financial assets measured at amortized cost. There is no change to the initial measurement of the Company’s financial assets. Impairment of financial assets is based on an expected credit loss www.hammondmfg.com Annual Report 2018 18 MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (“ECL”) model under IFRS 9, rather than the incurred loss model under IAS 39. ECLs are a probability weighted estimate of credit losses. The Company calculated ECLs based on consideration of customer specific factors and actual credit loss experience. As a percentage of revenue, the Company’s actual credit loss experience has not been significant. The adoption of IFRS 9 has not had an effect on the Company’s accounting policies related to financial liabilities. There was no material impact of transition to IFRS 9 on the Company’s statement of financial position at January 1, 2018. IFRS 15 Revenue from contracts with customers The Company has adopted IFRS 15 with a date of initial application of January 1, 2018. IFRS 15 includes a single, five-step revenue recognition model that requires entities to recognize revenue when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to customers at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. The standard also requires more informative, relevant disclosures. IFRS 15 supersedes IAS 11 “Construction Contracts” and IAS 18 “Revenue”, as well as various IFRIC and SIC interpretations regarding revenue. The Company has applied IFRS 15 using the cumulative effect method (without practical expedients) and therefore the comparative information has not been restated and continues to be reported under IAS 11 and IAS 18. The adoption of IFRS 15 did not result in a in significant differences between the point of risk and rewards transfer for the sale of product under IAS 18, and the point of transfer of control under IFRS 15, therefore no transition adjustments were recognized as at January 1, 2018. As a result of the adoption of IFRS 15, the Company’s accounting policies have been updated, and additional disclosure has been included. See note 2 to the consolidated financial statements for these changes in accounting policies. IFRS 15 had no impact on the Company’s consolidated statement of income for the year ended December 31, 2018. Future Accounting Changes The International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) issued the following standards that have not been applied in preparing the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto, for the year ended December 31, 2018 as their effective dates fall within annual periods beginning subsequent to the current reporting period: IFRS 16 “Leases” and IFRIC 23 “Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatments”. IFRS 16 Leases In January 2016 the IASB issued IFRS 16, Leases. The new standard is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2019. Earlier application is permitted for entities that apply IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers at or before the date of initial adoption of IFRS 16. IFRS 16 will replace IAS 17 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 and interim reporting periods beginning on January 1, 2019. The extent of the impact of adoption of this standard has yet to be determined. www.hammondmfg.com Annual Report 2018 19 MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS IFRIC 23 Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatments On June 7, 2017, the IASB issued IFRIC Interpretation 23 Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatments. The Interpretation provides guidance on the accounting for current and deferred tax liabilities and assets in circumstances in which there is uncertainty over income tax treatments. The Interpretation requires: • • • an entity to contemplate whether uncertain tax treatments should be considered separately, or together as a group, based on which approach provides better predictions of the resolution; an entity to determine if it is probable that the tax authorities will accept the uncertain tax treatment; and if it is not probable that the uncertain tax treatment will be accepted, measure the tax uncertainty based on the most likely amount or expected value, depending on whichever method better predicts the resolution of the uncertainty. The Interpretation is applicable for annual and interim reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2019. Earlier application is permitted. The Group intends to adopt the Interpretation in its consolidated financial statements for the annual and interim reporting periods beginning on January 1, 2019. The extent of the impact of adoption of the Interpretation has not yet been determined. OUTLOOK FACTORS FOR 2019 The fourth quarter showed signs of slowing. Our current market expectation is to see stable growth in all our market places although at a slower pace than we had been experiencing. The strong US dollar continues to provide 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. 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. www.hammondmfg.com Annual Report 2018 20 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. R.F. Hammond A. Stirling Chairman & CEO Secretary & CFO Guelph, Ontario March 4, 2019 www.hammondmfg.com Annual Report 2018 21 KPMG LLP 115 King Street South 2nd Floor Waterloo ON N2J 5A3 Canada Tel 519-747-8800 Fax 519-747-8830 INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT To the Shareholders of Hammond Manufacturing Company Limited Opinion We have audited the consolidated financial statements of Hammond Manufacturing Company Limited (the Entity), which comprise:      The consolidated statements of financial position as at December 31, 2018 and 2017 the consolidated statements of comprehensive income for the years then ended the consolidated statements of changes in equity for the years then ended the consolidated statements of cash flows for the years then ended and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies (Hereinafter referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Entity as December 31, 2018 and 2017, and its consolidated financial performance and its consolidated cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). Basis for Opinion We conducted our audit in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the “Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements” section of our auditors’ report. We are independent of the Entity in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the consolidated financial statements in Canada and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. KPMG LLP is a Canadian limited liability partnership and a member firm of the KPMG network of independent member firms affiliated with KPMG International Cooperative (“KPMG International”), a Swiss entity. KPMG Canada provides services to KPMG LLP. www.hammondmfg.com Annual Report 2018 22 Other Information Management is responsible for the other information. Other information comprises:   the information included in Management’s Discussion and Analysis filed with the relevant Canadian Securities Commissions. the information, other than the financial statements and the auditors’ report thereon, included in a document likely to be entitled “Glossy Annual Report”. Our opinion on the consolidated financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not and will not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. In connection with our audit of the consolidated financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information identified above and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit and remain alert for indications that the other information appears to be materially misstated. We obtained the information included in Management’s Discussion and Analysis filed with the relevant Canadian Securities Commissions as at the date of this auditors’ report. If, based on the work we have performed on this other information, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact in the auditors’ report. We have nothing to report in this regard. The information, other than the financial statements and the auditors’ report thereon, included in a document likely to be entitled “Glossy Annual Report” is expected to be made available to us after the date of this auditors’ report. If, based on the work we will perform on this other information, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact to those charged with governance. Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Financial Statements Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In preparing the financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Entity’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Entity or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so. Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Entity’s financial reporting process. www.hammondmfg.com Annual Report 2018 23 Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditors’ report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of the consolidated financial statements. As part of an audit in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:  Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.  Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Entity's internal control.  Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.  Conclude on the appropriateness of management's use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Entity's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditors’ report to the related disclosures in the consolidated financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditors’ report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Entity to cease to continue as a going concern.  Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the consolidated financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation. www.hammondmfg.com Annual Report 2018 24  Communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.  Provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.  Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the group Entity to express an opinion on the financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.

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, 2018 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 4, 2019. 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 accumulated other comprehensive income. The functional currency of the Company’s subsidiary operations located in the US, UK, Taiwan and Australia are the US dollar, the British pound sterling, 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 amount of assets, liabilities, income and expense. Actual results may differ from these www.hammondmfg.com Annual Report 2018 30 HAMMOND MANUFACTURING COMPANY LIMITED Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements Years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 (tabular amounts (except share amounts) in thousands of Canadian dollars) 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 expected credit losses (“ECLs”) of accounts receivable balances based on customer 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. www.hammondmfg.com Annual Report 2018 31 HAMMOND MANUFACTURING COMPANY LIMITED Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements Years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 (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. www.hammondmfg.com Annual Report 2018 32 HAMMOND MANUFACTURING COMPANY LIMITED Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements Years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 (tabular amounts (except share amounts) in thousands of Canadian dollars) 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 Limited, 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 transactions have been eliminated on consolidation. The consolidated financial statements include the investment in RITEC, which is accounted for using the equity method. b) Revenue recognition: The Company determines revenue recognition through the following steps: a) identification of the contract with a customer, b) identification of the performance obligations in the contract, c) determination of the transaction price, d) allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract and e) recognition of revenue when the Company satisfies a performance obligation. The Company principally generates revenue through the manufacturing and sale of industrial enclosures, electronic enclosures, racks and cabinets, transformers and other products. Revenue is recognized when control of a product is transferred to a customer. This is generally at the point in time when product is available for physical delivery, and the customer has legal title to, physical possession of (or through their carrier), and the risks and rewards of ownership of the product have transferred; therefore, the customer is able to direct the use of and obtain substantially all of the benefits of the product. There is only a single performance obligation, except for where delivery is provided by Hammond after the point of transfer. Revenue is measured based on the consideration specified in a contract with a customer, net of variable consideration, including rebates, returns and discounts. Rebates are accrued using sales data and rebate percentages specific to each customer contract. Accruals for sales returns are calculated based on the best estimate of the amount of product that will ultimately be returned by customers. All customer receivables are expected to be paid within one year and therefore the Company does not adjust for the effects of a financing component. Contract liabilities are recorded when cash payments are received or due in advance of the Company’s performance. www.hammondmfg.com Annual Report 2018 33 HAMMOND MANUFACTURING COMPANY LIMITED Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements Years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 (tabular amounts (except share amounts) in thousands of Canadian dollars) 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. Costs include expenditures that are 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. www.hammondmfg.com Annual Report 2018 34 HAMMOND MANUFACTURING COMPANY LIMITED Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements Years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 (tabular amounts (except share amounts) in thousands of Canadian dollars) 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 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. www.hammondmfg.com Annual Report 2018 35 HAMMOND MANUFACTURING COMPANY LIMITED Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements Years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 (tabular amounts (except share amounts) in thousands of Canadian dollars) i) Goodwill: Acquisitions 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 CGUs that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the business combination. 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 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 assets and financial liabilities: Financial assets are initially measured at fair value. On initial recognition, the Company classifies its financial assets at either amortized cost, fair value through other comprehensive income or fair value through profit or loss, depending on its business model for managing the financial assets and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial assets. Financial assets are not reclassified subsequent to their initial recognition, unless the Company changes its business model for managing financial assets. A financial asset is measured at amortized cost if it meets both of the following conditions: a) the asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets to collect contractual cash flows and b) the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding. Financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. They are subsequently carried at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method; any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption value is recognized as an adjustment to interest expense over the period of the borrowings. Financial liabilities include bank indebtedness, trade and other payables and long-term debt. www.hammondmfg.com Annual Report 2018 36 HAMMOND MANUFACTURING COMPANY LIMITED Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements Years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 (tabular amounts (except share amounts) in thousands of Canadian dollars) m) Impairment: i) Financial assets: ECLs are recognized on all financial assets not carried at fair value through profit or loss. Expected credit losses are based on the difference between the contractual cash flows due in accordance with the contract and all the cash flows that the Company expects to receive, discounted at an approximation of the original effective interest rate. ECLs are recognized in two stages. For credit exposures for which there has not been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition, ECLs are provided for credit losses that result from default events that are possible within the next 12-months. For those credit exposures for which there has been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition, a loss allowance is required for credit losses expected over the remaining life of the exposure, irrespective of the timing of the default. For trade receivables and contract assets, the Company applies a simplified approach in calculating ECLs. Therefore, the Company does not track changes in credit risk, but instead recognizes a loss allowance based on lifetime ECL at each reporting date. The Company has established a provision matrix that is based on its historical credit loss experience, adjusted for forward looking factors specific to the debtors and the economic environment. ii) Non-financial assets: The carrying amounts of the Group’s non-financial assets are reviewed at each reporting date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, then the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated. For goodwill, and intangible assets that have indefinite useful lives or that are not yet available for use, the recoverable amount is estimated each year at the same time. The recoverable amount of an asset or CGU is the greater of its value in use and its fair value less costs to sell. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. For the purpose of impairment testing, assets that cannot be tested individually are grouped together into the smallest group of assets that generates cash inflows from continuing use that are largely independent of the cash inflows of other assets or groups of assets. For the purposes of goodwill impairment testing, goodwill acquired in a business combination is allocated to the CGU, or the group of CGUs, that is expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination. 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, 2018 and December 31, 2017, and concluded there was no impairment. www.hammondmfg.com Annual Report 2018 37 HAMMOND MANUFACTURING COMPANY LIMITED Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements Years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 (tabular amounts (except share amounts) in thousands of Canadian dollars) 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. n) 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. 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. www.hammondmfg.com Annual Report 2018 38 HAMMOND MANUFACTURING COMPANY LIMITED Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements Years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 (tabular amounts (except share amounts) in thousands of Canadian dollars) 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. o) Segment reporting: The continuing operations of the Company are in one operating segment, electrical and electronic components. p) Finance costs: Finance costs consist of interest on borrowings and finance leases. q) 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. r) New standards and interpretations adopted: The International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) has issued the following Standards, Interpretations and Amendments to Standards that were adopted by the Group. 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 www.hammondmfg.com Annual Report 2018 39 HAMMOND MANUFACTURING COMPANY LIMITED Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements Years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 (tabular amounts (except share amounts) in thousands of Canadian dollars) annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018. 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 adopted the amendments to IFRS 2 in its consolidated financial statements for the annual period beginning on January 1, 2018. The amendments did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements. IFRS 9 Financial instruments Effective January 1, 2018, the Company adopted IFRS 9 on a retrospective basis, which sets out requirements for recognition and measurement, impairment, derecognition of financial instruments and general hedge accounting. This standard simplifies the classification of a financial asset as either at amortized cost or at fair value as opposed to the multiple classifications which were permitted under IAS 39. This standard also requires the use of a single impairment method as opposed to the multiple methods in IAS 39. The approach in IFRS 9 is based on how an entity manages its financial instruments in the context of its business model and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial assets. The standard also adds guidance on the classification and measurement of financial liabilities. Cash and trade and other receivables that were classified as loans and receivables under IAS 39 are classified as financial assets measured at amortized cost. There is no change to the initial measurement of the Company’s financial assets. Impairment of financial assets is based on an expected credit loss (“ECL”) model under IFRS 9, rather than the incurred loss model under IAS 39. ECLs are a probability weighted estimate of credit losses. The Company calculated ECLs based on consideration of customer specific factors and actual credit loss experience. As a percentage of revenue, the Company’s actual credit loss experience has not been significant. The adoption of IFRS 9 has not had an effect on the Company’s accounting policies related to financial liabilities. There was no material impact of transition to IFRS 9 on the Company’s statement of financial position at January 1, 2018. IFRS 15 Revenue from contracts with customers The Company has adopted IFRS 15 with a date of initial application of January 1, 2018. IFRS 15 includes a single, five-step revenue recognition model that requires entities to recognize revenue when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to customers at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. The standard also requires more informative, relevant disclosures. www.hammondmfg.com Annual Report 2018 40 HAMMOND MANUFACTURING COMPANY LIMITED Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements Years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 (tabular amounts (except share amounts) in thousands of Canadian dollars) IFRS 15 supersedes IAS 11 “Construction Contracts” and IAS 18 “Revenue”, as well as various IFRIC and SIC interpretations regarding revenue. The Company has applied IFRS 15 using the cumulative effect method (without practical expedients) and therefore the comparative information has not been restated and continues to be reported under IAS 11 and IAS 18. The adoption of IFRS 15 did not result in a in significant differences between the point of risk and rewards transfer for the sale of product under IAS 18, and the point of transfer of control under IFRS 15, therefore no transition adjustments were recognized as at January 1, 2018. As a result of the adoption of IFRS 15, the Company’s accounting policies have been updated, and additional disclosure has been included. See note 2 for these changes in accounting policies. 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. The Group adopted the amendments to IAS 40 in its consolidated financial statements for the annual period beginning on January 1, 2018. There was no 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. www.hammondmfg.com Annual Report 2018 41 HAMMOND MANUFACTURING COMPANY LIMITED Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements Years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 (tabular amounts (except share amounts) in thousands of Canadian dollars) The Group adopted the Interpretation in its consolidated financial statements for the annual period beginning on January 1, 2018. There was no material impact from the adoption of this Interpretation on the consolidated financial statements. s) New standards and interpretations not yet adopted: The IASB has issued the 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. IFRS 16 Leases In January 2016 the IASB issued IFRS 16, Leases. The new standard is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2019. Earlier application is permitted for entities that apply IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers at or before the date of initial adoption of IFRS 16. IFRS 16 will replace IAS 17 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 2015-2017 Cycle On December 12, 2017 the IASB issued narrow-scope amendments to three standards as part of its annual improvements process. Amendments were made to the following standards: • • • IFRS 3 Business Combinations and IFRS 11 Joint Arrangements - to clarify how a company accounts for increasing its interest in a joint operation that meets the definition of a business; IAS 12 Income Taxes – to clarify that all income tax consequences of dividends are recognized consistently with the transactions that generated the distributable profits – i.e. in profit or loss, OCI, or equity; and IAS 23 Borrowing Costs – to clarify that specific borrowings – i.e. funds borrowed specifically to finance the construction of a qualifying asset should be transferred to the general borrowings pool once the construction of the qualifying asset has been completed. The amendments are effective on or after January 1, 2019, with early application permitted. Each of the amendments has its own specific transition requirements. The Company intends to adopt these amendments in its consolidated financial statements for the annual period beginning on January 1, 2019. The extent of the impact of adoption of the amendments has not yet been determined. www.hammondmfg.com Annual Report 2018 42 HAMMOND MANUFACTURING COMPANY LIMITED Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements Years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 (tabular amounts (except share amounts) in thousands of Canadian dollars) IFRIC 23 Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatments On June 7, 2017, the IASB issued IFRIC Interpretation 23 Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatments. The Interpretation provides guidance on the accounting for current and deferred tax liabilities and assets in circumstances in which there is uncertainty over income tax treatments. The Interpretation requires: • • • an entity to contemplate whether uncertain tax treatments should be considered separately, or together as a group, based on which approach provides better predictions of the resolution; an entity to determine if it is probable that the tax authorities will accept the uncertain tax treatment; and if it is not probable that the uncertain tax treatment will be accepted, measure the tax uncertainty based on the most likely amount or expected value, depending on whichever method better predicts the resolution of the uncertainty. The Interpretation is applicable for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2019. Earlier application is permitted. The Group intends to adopt the Interpretation in its consolidated financial statements for the annual period beginning on January 1, 2019. The extent of the impact of adoption of the Interpretation has not yet been determined. 4) Trade and other receivables: Trade receivables Employee receivables Other receivables Allowance for doubtful accounts Trade and other receivables December 31, 2018 December 31, 2017 $ 18,095 17 1,220 19,332 (278) $ 19,054 $ 15,485 20 911 16,416 (155) $ 16,261 The Company’s exposure to credit and currency risks, and impairment losses related to trade and other receivables is disclosed in note 24. 5) Inventories: December 31, 2018 December 31, 2017 Raw materials and work-in-process Finished goods $ 11,791 28,394 $ 10,472 24,228 Inventories $ 40,185 $ 34,700 Inventories carried at net realizable value $ 1,752 $ 1,443 In 2018, raw materials, consumables and changes in finished goods and work in progress recognized as cost of sales amounted to approximately $102,087,000 (2017 - $89,357,000).

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, 2018. Impairment testing for CGUs 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 5.5%. 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, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the assets, including goodwill of $116,000 (2017 - $112,000), 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, 2017. No independent valuation has been performed. The property is currently vacant and no income is being derived from it. The Company’s direct operating expense in 2018 related to the property was $89,000 (2017 - recovery of $50,000). 9) Equity investment: RITEC Enclosures Inc.

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 three years which in turn has pushed the remediation plan out three 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 (2017 - $170,000) with $70,000 (2017 - $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 www.hammondmfg.com Annual Report 2018 50 HAMMOND MANUFACTURING COMPANY LIMITED Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements Years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 (tabular amounts (except share amounts) in thousands of Canadian dollars) the current and prior periods. The terms of the agreements do not require the Company to fund these obligations as they accumulate. The Company has accounted for these post-employment benefits as defined benefit plans. The benefit plans are broken into two categories: a) Benefit for post-employment health benefits: If an employee meets the set criteria and retires between the age of 60 and 65, their health plan will continue until age 65. 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% (2017 – 3.5%) per annum health cost increase and a discount rate of 6.0% (2017 – 6.0%) were utilized to determine its present value. Assumed healthcare cost trend rates affect the amounts recognized in profit and loss.

Total dividends declared and paid in 2018 were $452,000 (2017 - $226,000). 16) Operating leases: The Company is committed to payments under operating leases for equipment and buildings. The future minimum non-cancellable operating lease rentals are payable as follows: Less than 1 year Between 1 and 5 years Thereafter Total minimum payments December 31, 2018 $ 2,326 4,852 1,356 $ 8,534 December 31, 2017 $ 2,046 4,597 1,773 $ 8,416 The Group leases a number of office, warehouse 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, 2018, an amount of $2,487,000 was recognized as an expense in profit or loss in respect of operating leases (2017 - $2,032,000). 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 $519,000 (2017 - $4,609,000). These expenditures should be completed in the first half of 2019. 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 $3,500,000 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 www.hammondmfg.com Annual Report 2018 53 HAMMOND MANUFACTURING COMPANY LIMITED Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements Years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 (tabular amounts (except share amounts) in thousands of Canadian dollars) emanated from the property once owned by HMCL. In 2017, the claim moved into the discovery proceedings level. There have been no significant developments to this claim otherwise. 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 consolidated financial statements. 19) Income tax expense: December 31, 2018 December 31, 2017 Current tax expense $ 593 $ 1,450 Deferred tax expense: Origination and reversal of temporary differences Total income tax expense 685 377 $ 1,288 $ 1,827 Net income for the year Total income tax expense Income before income tax 2018 2018 2017 2017 $ 3,764 1,288 $ 5,052 $ 4,560 1,827 $ 6,387 Income tax using the Company’s domestic tax rate 38.00% 1,920 38.00% 2,427 Reduced rate for active business and manufacturing and processing (7.22%) (365) (8.02%) (512) Effect of tax rates in foreign jurisdictions (6.59%) (333) (2.27%) (145) Reduction in tax rate Non-deductible expenses Other 20) Earnings per share: 0.00% - 0.08% 5 0.57% 29 0.22% 14 0.73% 37 25.49% $ 1,288 0.59% 38 28.61% $ 1,827 The computations for basic and diluted earnings per share are as follows: December 31, 2018 December 31, 2017 Net income for the year $ 3,764 $ 4,560 Average number of common shares outstanding: Basic and Diluted Earnings per share: Basic Diluted 11,334,300 11,334,300 $ 0.33 0.33 $ 0.40 0.40 No share options to purchase common shares were outstanding as at December 31, 2018 or December 31, 2017. www.hammondmfg.com Annual Report 2018 54 HAMMOND MANUFACTURING COMPANY LIMITED Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements Years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 (tabular amounts (except share amounts) in thousands of Canadian dollars) 21) Personnel expenses: Wages and salaries Health benefit plans Canada Pension Plan and Employment Insurance Contributions to defined contribution plans Cost of sales Selling and distribution General and administrative Research and development 22) Management share option plan: 2018 $ 44,912 4,908 2,536 1,349 $ 53,705 2018 $ 40,421 10,115 2,938 231 $ 53,705 2017 $ 38,777 4,515 2,108 1,157 $ 46,557 2017 $ 34,085 9,379 2,912 181 $ 46,557 As at December 31, 2018, the Company has a stock-based compensation plan, which is described below. No options were granted through December 31, 2018 or in 2017 and no stock options were outstanding as of January 1, 2017, and, accordingly, no stock-based compensation expense has 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 market values of financial assets and liabilities together with the carrying amounts shown in the statements of financial position are as follows: www.hammondmfg.com Annual Report 2018 55 HAMMOND MANUFACTURING COMPANY LIMITED Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements Years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 (tabular amounts (except share amounts) in thousands of Canadian dollars) Assets carried at amortized cost Cash Trade and other receivables Liabilities carried at amortized cost Bank indebtedness Trade and other payables Term loans Finance lease obligations December 31, 2018 Carrying amount Fair value December 31, 2017 Carrying amount Fair value $ 625 19,054 $ 19,679 $ 625 19,054 $ 19,679 $ 1,051 16,261 $ 17,312 $ 1,051 16,261 $ 17,312 $ 7,599 15,728 19,474 4,137 $ 46,938 $ 7,599 15,728 18,892 4,025 $ 46,244 $ 5,716 14,081 12,248 4,588 $ 36,633 $ 5,716 14,081 11,804 4,434 $ 36,035 Interest rates used to discount estimated cash flows, when applicable, are based on bank indication rates for similar type arrangements.

Further quantitative disclosures are included throughout these consolidated financial statements. www.hammondmfg.com Annual Report 2018 56 HAMMOND MANUFACTURING COMPANY LIMITED Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements Years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 (tabular amounts (except share amounts) in thousands of Canadian dollars) Risk management framework: The Board of Directors has overall responsibility for the oversight of the Group’s risk management framework. The Board is responsible for monitoring the Group’s risk management policies. The Group’s risk management policies are established to identify and analyze the risks faced by the Group, to set appropriate risk limits and controls, and to monitor risks and adherence to limits. Risk management policies and systems are reviewed regularly to reflect changes in market conditions and the Group’s activities. The Group, through its training and management standards and procedures, aims to develop a disciplined and constructive control environment in which all employees understand their roles and obligations. The Group’s Audit Committee oversees how management monitors compliance with the Group’s risk management policies and procedures, and reviews the adequacy of the risk management framework in relation to the risks faced by the Group. The Group’s Audit Committee is assisted in its oversight role by the corporate finance group. The corporate finance group undertakes both regular and ad hoc reviews of risk management controls and procedures, the results of which are reported to the Audit Committee. Credit risk: Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Group if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations, and arises principally from the Group’s receivables from customers. The carrying amount of financial assets represents the maximum credit risk exposure. 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. www.hammondmfg.com Annual Report 2018 57 HAMMOND MANUFACTURING COMPANY LIMITED Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements Years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 (tabular amounts (except share amounts) in thousands of Canadian dollars) The Group establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts that represents its estimate of expected credit losses that could arise from the failure or inability of customers to make payments when due. This allowance is determined based on historical data of payment statistics for similar financial assets and historical credit losses, adjusted for forward looking factors, specific to the debtor and the economic environment. 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 as follows at the reporting date: December 31, 2018 December 31, 2017 Cash and receivables: Cash Trade and other receivables $ 625 19,054 $ 19,679 $ 1,051 16,261 $ 17,312 The maximum exposure to credit risk for cash and receivables at the reporting date by geographic region was: December 31, 2018 December 31, 2017 Cash and receivables: Canada US UK Australia $ 10,727 7,652 1,190 110 $ 19,679 $ 9,327 6,818 1,082 85 $ 17,312 The following table reflects the net details of trade receivables as at December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017: December 31, 2018 December 31, 2017 Gross Impairment Carrying value Gross Impairment Carrying value Aging of trade receivables: 1 – 30 days 31 – 60 days 61 – 90 days Over 90 days $ 8,764 7,245 1,733 353 $ - - - 278 $ 8,764 $ 8,685 5,151 1,363 286 7,245 1,733 75 $ - - - 155 $ 8,685 5,151 1,363 131 Trade receivables $ 18,095 $ 278 $ 17,817 $ 15,485 $ 155 $ 15,330 www.hammondmfg.com Annual Report 2018 58 HAMMOND MANUFACTURING COMPANY LIMITED Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements Years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 (tabular amounts (except share amounts) in thousands of Canadian dollars) The following table provides the roll forward of the allowance for doubtful accounts: Allowance for doubtful accounts, beginning of year December 31, 2018 December 31, 2017 150 $ $ 155 Accounts provided for in the period Amounts written off during the period 131 (8) 5 - Allowance for doubtful accounts $ 278 $ 155 Allowance for doubtful accounts as % of net trade receivable 1.5% 1.0% The following table provides the net details of trade and other receivables: Net trade receivable Employee receivables Other receivable December 31, 2018 December 31, 2017 $ 17,817 17 1,220 $ 15,330 20 911 Trade and other receivables $ 19,054 $ 16,261 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 25 basis points (2017 - bank prime plus 50 basis points). The Company had available unused credit facilities in the amount of $7,901,000 at December 31, 2018 (2017 - $9,784,000) to meet fluctuations in working capital requirements. The Group has established an $13,500,000 (2017 - $11,000,000) lease line to finance new equipment purchases of which it has utilized $12,252,000 (2017 - $5,236,000). In 2015, the Group successfully applied for and was approved by the Federal Economic Development Agency for Southern Ontario for an interest free loan up to $3,461,500 on eligible spending. As at December 31, 2018, the group had received $3,115,000 of this funding (2017 - $2,493,000). The present value of this funding $2,354,000 was set up as long term debt and $761,000 which reflects the interest savings has been offset to property, plant and equipment. In 2015, the Group successfully applied for and was approved by the Southwestern Ontario Development Fund for a grant up to $1,500,000 on eligible spending. As at December 31, 2018, the Group had received $989,000 (2017 - $724,000) of this funding and has a receivable for an additional $511,000 based on the eligible spending to date. The $1,500,000 has been offset to property, plant and equipment. www.hammondmfg.com Annual Report 2018 59 HAMMOND MANUFACTURING COMPANY LIMITED Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements Years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 (tabular amounts (except share amounts) in thousands of Canadian dollars) The interest free loan and grant noted above are contingent on adding new jobs and retaining existing jobs at its Guelph, Ontario locations. As at December 31, 2018, the Group was in compliance with this requirement. The following are the contractual maturities of financial liabilities, including estimated interest payments and excluding the impact of netting arrangements. It is not expected that the cash flows included in the maturity analysis will occur significantly earlier or at materially different amounts.

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. www.hammondmfg.com Annual Report 2018 60 HAMMOND MANUFACTURING COMPANY LIMITED Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements Years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 (tabular amounts (except share amounts) in thousands of Canadian dollars) The following chart depicts the foreign currency positions. Currency Accounts receivable Accounts payable Dec 31, 2018 Dec 31, 2017 Dec 31, 2018 Dec 31, 2017 Dec 31, 2018 Dec 31, 2017 Long-term debt Australia Europe New Zealand Taiwan UK US AUD EURO NZD TWD GBP USD 40 33 78 182 748 5,523 30 203 52 499 473 5,281 (3) (33) - (198) (405) (1,937) (14) (22) - - (232) (2,451) - - - - (92) (4,354) - - - - (65) (5,223) 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 2018 would have increased net product sales by $629,000 (2017 - $552,000) and increased income from operations by $679,000 (2017 - $594,000). Inversely, a one cent increase in the Canadian dollar against the US dollar in 2018 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 2018 bank indebtedness would increase annual interest expense by $76,000 (2017 - $57,000). This analysis assumes that all other variables remain constant. Inversely, a one percent decrease in the variable rates charged on ending 2018 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. www.hammondmfg.com Annual Report 2018 61 HAMMOND MANUFACTURING COMPANY LIMITED Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements Years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 (tabular amounts (except share amounts) in thousands of Canadian dollars) 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: • • • shareholders’ equity long-term debt, including the current portion cash and cash equivalents and short-term borrowings The Group is subject to externally imposed capital requirements through the covenants of its facility arrangements with the bank. The covenants measure Debt to Total Net Worth, Debt Service Ratio and Current Ratio. The Group is in compliance with its covenants at December 31, 2018 and has been in compliance with its covenants through 2017 and 2018. There were no changes to the Group’s approach to capital management during 2018. Neither the Company, nor any of its subsidiaries, is subject to externally imposed capital requirements. www.hammondmfg.com Annual Report 2018 62 HAMMOND MANUFACTURING COMPANY LIMITED Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements Years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 (tabular amounts (except share amounts) in thousands of Canadian dollars) 25) Segment disclosures: The continuing operations of the Company are in one operating segment, electrical and electronic components.
