The Magellan approach to growth through integration in the

aerospace, space and defence markets and complementary

non-aerospace sectors continues to achieve significant

success. In 2000, the Corporation sustained its record for 

growth in revenues and net income.

The key to the Magellan approach is simplicity itself – that is, bringing simplicity to a

complex industry in ways that leverage both the core capabilities of each Magellan operating

division and the Corporation’s combined strength.

A n   I n t e g r a t e d  

The Simplicity of a Strong Financial Foundation

Magellan  was  founded  on  the  premise  that  the  consolidation  of  individually  successful

aerospace  companies  would  lead  to  long-term  profitability  and  growth  unavailable  by  any

other means. The strength of that foundation is evident in the double-digit growth we have

achieved  every  year  since  Magellan’s  birth  in  1996.  The  year  2000  was  no  exception.  Once

again,  our  record  results  deliver  irrefutable  proof  of  the  Corporation’s  successful  evolution

into an integrated organization capable of strong internal growth and the rapid integration of

acquisitions for immediate and sustained returns. Revenue for the year ended December 31,

2000  was  $625.4  million,  11.3%  higher  than  the  $561.8  million  reported  for  fiscal  1999.  Net

income for the year was $37.9 million, an increase of 22.8% over 1999 income of $30.9 million.

The Simplicity of Integration 

The Corporation’s strategic growth plan has rapidly elevated Magellan to world-class status

in  the  aerospace  industry.  Our  track  record  in  identifying,  acquiring  and  integrating  key

aerospace industry manufacturing facilities is evident in the strength of our balance sheet. 

In the simplest terms, by consolidating and integrating, we have made it advantageous for 

a diverse customer base to do business with Magellan.

From  a  strategic  marketing  perspective,  Magellan  is  seeking  to  improve  market

penetration  and  customer  retention  by  further  developing  our  strong  ”brand“  image  as  a

leading  aerospace  supplier  worldwide.  To  facilitate  this,  we  have  established  a  powerful

umbrella image and identity for the Corporation, consolidated our marketing activities, and are

implementing comprehensive organization changes aimed at strengthening Magellan’s position

as an integrated, capable and comprehensive aerospace industry supplier.

In  addition  to  raising  our  profile  in  the  aerospace  industry,  the  consolidation  and

integration  of  key  activities,  combined  with  our  Six  Sigma  and  Lean  operations  initiatives, 

have  contributed  to  improving  gross  margins  to  18.5%  in  2000.  Our  focus  on  controlling

administrative and general expenses also paid off as these fell as a percentage of revenue to

5.7% in 2000 from 6.5% in the previous year.

The Simplicity of Turnkey Solutions

Consolidation is continuing on a global scale. The result is fewer, larger companies that are

becoming more selective in choosing business partners. Strategic procurement has become

the order of the day as our customers migrate toward a business model that retains product

design  and  final  assembly  in-house  while  assigning  the  lion’s  share  of  subassembly  design

and manufacture to outside suppliers. That means that a growing number of our customers

want  the  simplicity  of  dealing  with  a  single  supplier  for  a  multitude  of  needs.  The  scope  of

Magellan’s  operations,  combined  with  the  breadth  of  our  product  lines  and  services,  has

allowed us to increasingly become a ”single-source“ supplier to an expanding customer base.

This  important  competitive  advantage  not  only  brings  us  significant  new  business,  it  also

strengthens  our  relationships  with  existing  customers  through  long-term,  multi-product

agreements. The result: assured cash flow and insulation from market cycles.

Among  our  mutually  beneficial  long-term  relationships  with  the  world’s  leading

aerospace companies, these stand out: 

• Boeing: $600 million contract covers five Magellan divisions and five customer locations for

five years; $400 million contract adds the Boeing 717 program.

• Bombardier: Two Magellan divisions have established long-term relationships on significant

structural assemblies within the Bombardier family of companies. There are plans to expand

this to other Magellan divisions.

• GE: The GE J85 world licence agreement enables Magellan direct contact with the end

product users.

• Rolls-Royce: Annual  sales  in  the  order  of  $20  million  covering  Industrial  Trent  and

aeroengine components.

• Honeywell: The  Honeywell  AS907  Revenue  Sharing  Participant  agreement  provides  for

Magellan‘s involvement at the design stage and thus influences the manufacturability and

cost reduction of the product. 

• BF  Goodrich:  Our  long-standing  relationship  with  BF  Goodrich,  coupled  with  outstanding

quality  and  delivery  ratings,  resulted  in  a  multi-year  contract  to  produce  landing  gear

components and assemblies for the Boeing 737NG, 747, 767, 777 and F-18E/F aircraft.

• Aircelle/Airbus: Performance on our initial contract for the Airbus A340-500/600 nozzles and

plugs with revenue projections of $300 million led to the subsequent award of the acoustic

nozzles and plugs for the Airbus A318 with program revenues in excess of $29 million.

12

• NASA: Continued  deliveries  to  PRC  Litton  to  support  the  NASA  launch  of  15  Black  Brant

sounding rockets per year.

• CSA: Continued work on the Sci-Sat project with launch date of June 2002 and a variety of

other space payload and components to support the Canadian Space Agency.

M a g e l l a n  

  has enjoyed fruitful long-term relationships with some of the world’s

leading OEMs. We have been a supplier to GE for over 40 years, Boeing for over 30 years and

currently hold long-term contracts with Airbus, Honeywell and Bombardier.

The Simplicity of Global Reach and Local Access

Our customers are woven into the fabric of the global marketplace. Aircraft assemblies and

parts for Boeing, Airbus and Bombardier; cryogenic seals and rocket motors for NASA; engine

overhaul  services  for  various  air  forces  worldwide:  it  doesn’t  matter  where  our  customers 

are  located,  Magellan  has  the  operational  scope  to  deliver  on  time  and  on  budget.  But 

some  customers  want  local  access  –  a  relationship  with  a  nearby  supplier  with  specific

demonstrated strengths – and, through our strategically located divisions, we can deliver on

those needs too. Dealing with Magellan either globally or locally is simplicity itself.

The Simplicity of Continuous Improvement

Magellan  actively  explores  many  ways  of  simplifying  our  operations  to  achieve  improved

effectiveness while reducing cost. That is why we have already made a major shift to applying

two proven tools: Lean and Six Sigma. 

Leanoperation is the process of eliminating waste in an organization‘s value stream –

and we have made it a primary tool in pursuing our strategic objectives by implementing Lean

systems that produce cost savings by reducing waste, cycle times, and the number of steps

in all production and transactional processes.

M a g e l l a n       implemented one-piece flow for its Boeing 737 Fixed Trailing and Leading

Edge programs utilizing Lean principles. This involved the internal processes of machining,

deburring, painting, assembly, inspection and coordination with outside processors.

13

 
The one-piece flow Lean initiative resulted in dramatic improvements: overall cycle 

time  decreased  from  80  to  18  days;  inventory  was  reduced  by  over  $2  million; 

assembly, deburring and painting hours were reduced by 50%; and overall quality was

significantly improved.

The Simplicity of Assured Quality

Six Sigma is  a  rigorous,  focused  and  highly  effective  implementation  of  proven  quality

principles  and  techniques.  Incorporating  elements  from  the  work  of  many  quality  pioneers, 

Six Sigma aims for virtually error-free business performance. For a company like ours that is

driven by a passion for quality, it was logical for Magellan to adopt Six Sigma, as we did in 2000.

We  are  committed  to  the  implementation  of  Six  Sigma  as  the  vehicle  to  achieve

breakthrough results in our business. Our Six Sigma initiative is driven from the top, and each

Magellan  division  believes  in  its  success.  We  aim  to  consistently  raise  the  quality  of  our

manufacturing  and  transactional  processes  so  we  can  deliver  world-class  products  and

services  to  our  customers.  The  ultimate  aim,  as  always,  is  total customer  satisfaction.

Magellan’s  operating  divisions  are  renowned  for  their  quality  –  but  even  the  best  can,  and

should, get better. 

M a g e l l a n ’ s  

  introduction of Six Sigma and Lean is further supported by the

enhancement of the manufacturing capabilities of our plants. Our manufacturing facility in

Middletown,  Ohio,  is  undergoing  a  60,000  square  foot  expansion  that  will  consolidate

manufacturing activities currently spread over three buildings and provide the scope for future

growth including the Airbus A340 program that is currently entering production as well as the

recently announced nozzle and plug program with Aircelle for the Airbus A318 program. 

14

 
 
The Simplicity of Leveraging Core Competencies

Overall  and  within  each  of  our  operating  divisions,  Magellan  has  developed  core

competencies that are often industry-leading. That strength – the ability to identify, develop

and introduce new products or enhancements to existing products – has enabled us to create

a catalogue of products much in demand by our aerospace customers. It has also allowed us

to  leverage  the  strength  of  our  core  competencies  through  the  creation  of  products  for

customers  in  non-aerospace  sectors  –  thus  allowing  us  to  diversify  and  penetrate  new

markets at little cost or risk, yet with the potential for strong and continuing financial returns.

In 2000, we made significant advances in this area.

• Siemens  Westinghouse: Magellan  will  supply  isolation  ring  segments  for  the  combustion

sections of 150-megawatt natural gas powered turbines. This new relationship represents a

significant breakthrough in the industrial power market and is a strategic outgrowth of our

specialized  precision  machining  capabilities,  honed  on  both  aerospace  and  commercial

applications.

• Oilfield Services: Magellan is currently manufacturing various shaft-like products used in

the oil drilling industry. These products are manufactured from aerospace-type alloys and

utilize two of our core competencies: shaft manufacturing technology and complex milling.

They are an excellent strategic fit for our business, and demonstrate Magellan’s ability to

compete in commercial markets outside aerospace with significant growth potential.

Approaching Simplicity – An Evolutionary Process

As a leading consolidator and integrator, Magellan is well on the road to reaching our mission:

to deliver assured, long-term growth and returns to our shareholders and other stakeholders.

That  is  the  promise  we  made  when  Magellan  began.  That  is  the  promise  we  have  so  far

realized through intelligent consolidation and integration. And that promise is why in 2000 we

took  a  slight  pause  in  our  relentless  pursuit  of  further  growth  –  a pause  that  allowed  us  to

evaluate our progress and financial position and ensure a future as fulfilling as our past.

Even though in last year’s annual report we noted that our active acquisition program

would likely result in new growth through 2000, we did not make any acquisitions. We felt that

the acquisitions reviewed were too expensive with a slowing economy, and our debt to equity

ratio  of  55%  was  too  high.  Not  wishing  to  over-leverage  the  Corporation  for  the  sake  of

immediate growth, we used the hiatus to achieve economical organic growth and consolidate

our  previous  gains.  Now  with  our  integrated  structures  more  firmly  in  place  – with  a  strong

15

balance  sheet  and  a  debt  ratio  reduced  to  44%  –  we  are  ready  to  move  aggressively  in

identifying possible candidates for future acquisition. 

A Simply Bright Future

As this annual report went to press, a number of new and exciting developments were in the

offing. We look forward to sharing them with you as 2001 unfolds. In the meantime, to all our

stakeholders, we say this:

• Magellan  will  continue  to  grow  organically  and  through  strategic  acquisitions  that

complement and extend our integrated offerings in niche markets.

• Magellan  will  continue  to  consolidate  and  integrate  support  functions  across  the

Corporation and to employ such best practices as Six Sigma and Lean operations to reduce

costs, improve productivity and increase profitability.

• Magellan  will  be  more  aggressive  in  communicating  with  key  audiences  –  the  investment

community,  our  stakeholders  and  current  and  potential  customers  –  to  further  enhance  its

position as a worldwide industry leader.

• Magellan  has  diversified  our  product/services  offerings  to  insulate  against  aerospace

business fluctuations and to fully participate in an expanding aerospace industry. Air travel

is expected to grow 4% to 5% annually for the next 20 years – and we intend to grow with

our customers in the provision of new/replacement aircraft assemblies, engines and related

services.

The world of aerospace, space and defence is complex. The foundation we have laid

and the structures we have and continue to put in place will make the selection of Magellan

as the supplier of choice for major OEMs, civil, space and defence customers simplicity itself.

Our approach is on target and our horizons look unlimited.

We thank Magellan’s employees for their dedication and professionalism – they are

the driving force of our success.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Magellan  Aerospace  Corporation  (“Magellan”)  is  a  diversified  supplier  of  components  and  assemblies  to  the  aerospace
industry. Through its network of facilities throughout North America, Magellan supplies the leading aircraft manufacturers,
airlines and defence agencies throughout the world. Magellan’s performance in 2000 showed growth in sales, earnings and
shareholders’ equity, strengthening its ability to serve the world aviation market.

YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2000 COMPARED WITH THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1999

Consolidated revenue for the year ended December 31, 2000 was $625.4 million, an increase of 11.3% or $63.6 million over
1999 levels. The increase resulted from the inclusion of a full year of sales from Ellanef Manufacturing Corporation, which
was acquired in the second quarter of 1999, and organic growth throughout the balance of the Corporation.

Cost of revenues was $509.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2000, for a gross profit of $115.7 million or 18.5%. This
compares  favourably  to  the  gross  profit  of  $102.2  million  or  18.2%  recorded  in  1999.  The  impact  of  Six  Sigma  and  Lean
operating  techniques  initiated  throughout  the  Corporation  are  beginning  to  take  effect,  and  management  believes  that
significant  results  will  be  achieved  as  more  employees  are  trained  and  improvements  are  implemented  throughout  the
manufacturing and support processes.

Administrative and general expenses were $35.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2000, compared to $36.6 million
in 1999. Management’s focus on minimizing these costs has resulted in a slight decline, in spite of overall business levels
increasing. 

Interest expense was $19.7 million, which was an increase of 29.6% or $4.5 million over 1999 levels. The interest expense
was higher in 2000 as this was the first full year of inclusion of the debt associated with the purchase of Ellanef, as well as
the impact of higher interest rates.

Income tax expense was $21.7 million in 2000, on income before income taxes of $59.6 million for an effective tax rate of
36.4%. In 1999, income tax expense was $19.1 million on pre-tax income of $50.0 million for an effective rate of 38.2%. The
income tax rate decreased during 2000 because of reduction in provincial income tax rates as well as the use of capital loss
carryforwards applied to capital gains realized on the disposition of other assets.

Effective  January  1,  2000  the  Corporation  adopted  the  new  recommendations  of  the  Canadian  Institute  of  Chartered
Accountants with respect to accounting for income taxes. The change resulted in the restatement of the 1999 provision to
reflect the full tax rate for the year. This change is more fully explained in the notes to the Corporation’s financial statements.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1999 COMPARED WITH THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1998

Revenue for 1999 was $561.8 million, an increase of 31.6% or $134.9 million over 1998. The increase in sales was due to the
addition  of  Ellanef  in  the  second  quarter,  the  full  year  results  of  Chicopee  Manufacturing  Limited  and  AMBEL  Precision
Manufacturing Corporation, and the effect of new aerostructures programs. Revenues in other areas showed modest gain
despite a strong competitive environment.

Cost of revenues was $459.6 million, up 31.5% or $110.2 million over 1998. Gross profit percentage improved slightly from
18.1% in 1998 to 18.2% in 1999 due to increased manufacturing efficiencies.

Administrative and general expenses rose to $36.6 million in 1999 from $33.8 million in 1998, but fell as a percentage of
revenue from 7.9% in 1998 to 6.5% in 1999. 

Interest expense increased by 66.9% to $15.1 million, reflecting the higher debt levels as a result of the purchase of Ellanef,
investments in new programs, and capital assets purchased in 1999.

Income before income taxes for the year was $50.0 million, an increase of $17.0 million or 51.7% over 1998.  This increase
was due to higher volumes at slightly higher margins. EBITDA increased from $52.0 million in 1998 to $81.5 million in 1999,
a 56.7% increase year over year.

Income tax expense rose from $12.7 million in 1998 to $19.1 million in 1999. The effective tax rate fell slightly from 38.5%
in 1998 to 38.2% in 1999 due to a shift to jurisdictions with lower tax rates. Income tax expense for 1999 and 1998 has been
restated to reflect the adoption of the new standard for accounting for income taxes recommended by the Canadian Institute
of Chartered Accountants. These changes are more fully described in the notes to the financial statements. 

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Corporation continues to generate increasing amounts of cash from operating activities. Cash flow from operations was
$53.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2000, an increase of $13.5 million from the previous year. Non-cash working
capital balances used $10.5 million, primarily due to an increase in accounts receivable. 

During the year ended December 31, 2000, the Corporation invested $28.0 million in new production equipment to modernize
current facilities and to enhance its capabilities. The Corporation also used a total of $25.8 million in funds generated to
reduce bank indebtedness and long-term debt.

Management believes that adequate cash is available through internally generated liquidity and undrawn lines of credit to
meet the Corporation’s working capital, program and capital investment, and debt servicing requirements.

AUDITORS’ REPORT

To the Shareholders of
Magellan Aerospace Corporation

We have audited the consolidated balance sheets of Magellan Aerospace Corporation as at December 31, 2000 and 1999
and the consolidated statements of income and retained earnings and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial
statements  are  the  responsibility  of  the  Corporation’s  management.  Our  responsibility  is  to  express  an  opinion  on  these
financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in Canada. Those standards require that
we  plan  and  perform  an  audit  to  obtain  reasonable  assurance  whether  the  financial  statements  are  free  of  material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management,
as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.

In our opinion, these consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the
Corporation as at December 31, 2000 and 1999 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended
in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in Canada.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

December 31, 2000 and 1999

(expressed in thousands of dollars except share and per share data)

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of consolidation
The  consolidated  financial  statements  have  been  prepared  by  management  in  accordance  with  accounting  principles
generally accepted in Canada within the framework of the accounting policies summarized below. The consolidated financial
statements of the Corporation include the accounts of the Corporation and its wholly-owned subsidiaries.

Management’s estimates
The  preparation  of  financial  statements  in  conformity  with  accounting  principles  generally  accepted  in  Canada  requires
management  to  make  estimates  and  assumptions  that  affect  the  amounts  reported  in  the  financial  statements  and
accompanying notes. Management believes that the estimates utilized in preparing its consolidated financial statements are
reasonable and prudent; however, actual results could differ from these estimates.

Revenue recognition
Revenue includes sales from units delivered during the year and estimates of revenue earned on long-term contracts using
the  percentage  of  completion  method.  Where  it  is  expected  that  a  loss  will  be  incurred  on  completion  of  a  contract,  a
provision is made for the total estimated loss.

Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents includes cash on deposit and term deposits with remaining maturities at the date of acquisition
of less than three months.

Inventories
Inventories  are  stated  at  the  lower  of  cost  and  estimated  net  realizable  value.  Inventories  are  primarily  attributable  to
long-term contracts on which the related operating cycles are longer than one year. In accordance with industry practice,
these  inventories  are  included  in  current  assets.  Inventoried  costs  on  long-term  contracts  include  pre-production  costs
consisting  primarily  of  tooling  production  costs,  including  applicable  finance  and  overhead  and  other  development  costs
provided that their recovery can be regarded as reasonably assured. Inventoried costs are charged to cost of revenues by the
estimated  average  cost  of  deliveries  under  contracts  using  the  learning  curve  concept,  which  anticipates  a  predictable
decrease in unit costs as tasks and production techniques become more efficient through repetition and management action. 
Advances and progress billings received on long-term contracts are deducted from related costs in inventories. Advances

and progress billings in excess of related costs are classified as deferred revenue.

Capital assets
Capital assets are recorded at cost less related government grants and investment tax credits and are depreciated over their
estimated useful lives (with 10% residual value) as follows:

Buildings
Machinery and equipment

40 years
20 years

Research and development
Research and development costs are charged to operations as incurred, due to the nature of the projects. Where government
incentives in the form of investment tax credits and grants are received for research and development projects initiated by
the Corporation for its own purposes, these incentives are deducted from the research and development costs.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Government investment
The  Corporation  makes  periodic  applications  for  government  investment  under  available  government  programs,  including
investment tax credits. Government investment relating to capitalized expenditures is reflected as a reduction of the related
costs  of  such  assets.  Government  investment  relating  to  operating  expenses  is  recorded  as  a  reduction  of  the  related
expenses as incurred.

Goodwill
Goodwill  is  recorded  at  cost  and  amortized  to  income  on  a  straight-line  basis  over  40  years.  On  an  ongoing  basis,
management reviews the valuation and amortization of goodwill, taking into consideration any events or circumstances which
might  have  impaired  the  carrying  value.  The  amount  of  goodwill  impairment,  if  any,  is  measured  based  on  undiscounted
projected future cash flows.

Foreign exchange translation
Monetary assets and liabilities of the Corporation denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the year-end exchange
rates. Revenue and expenses are translated at actual rates of exchange when the transaction occurred. Exchange gains and
losses on these items are recognized in income in the current year except for gains or losses on monetary assets or liabilities
with fixed or ascertainable lives extending beyond one year which are deferred and amortized over the remaining life of the
monetary item.

The Corporation’s operations outside of Canada are considered self-sustaining. Consequently, the assets and liabilities are
translated to Canadian dollars using the year-end exchange rates and revenues and expenses are translated at the average
rates during the year. Exchange gains or losses on translation of the Corporation’s net investment in these operations are
deferred as a separate component of shareholders’ equity.

The appropriate amounts of exchange gains or losses accumulated in the separate component of shareholders’ equity are
reflected in income when there is a reduction in the Corporation’s net investment in the operations that gave rise to such
exchange gains or losses.

Employee benefit plans
The cost of pension and post-employment benefits (including medical benefits and dental care) related to employees’ current
service is charged to income annually. The cost is computed on an actuarial basis using the projected benefit method prorated
on services and management’s best estimates of investment yields, salary escalation and other factors. Pension plan assets
are valued at fair value for purposes of calculating the expected return on plan assets. Past service costs resulting from plan
amendments are amortized over the remaining average service life of active employees. The excess of the net actuarial gain
(loss)  over  10%  of  the  greater  of  the  benefit  obligations  and  the  fair  value  of  plan  assets  is  amortized  over  the  average
remaining service period of active employees.

Stock-based compensation plan
The  Corporation  has  an  incentive  stock  option  plan  as  more  fully  described  in  note  10.  No  compensation  expense  is
recognized for this plan when stock or stock options are issued. Any consideration paid on the exercise of stock options is
credited to share capital.

Financial instruments
The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, bank indebtedness, accounts payable and accrued
charges are considered to be representative of their respective fair value.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Income taxes
The Corporation follows the liability method of income tax allocation. Under this method, future tax assets and liabilities are
determined based on differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured
using the substantially enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse.

Income per common share
Basic income per common share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares
outstanding during the year. If all employee stock options were exercised, diluted income per common share would not be
materially different than basic income per common share.

2. ACCOUNTING CHANGES

(a) Income taxes
Effective January 1, 2000, the Corporation adopted, retroactively with restatement of prior years, the new recommendations
of The Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants (“CICA”) with respect to accounting for income taxes. Under the new
liability method, future income tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between the basis of assets
and liabilities used for financial statement and income tax purposes. Such differences are then measured using substantially
enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when these differences are expected to reverse.

Prior to the adoption of the new recommendations, income tax expense was determined using the deferral method of tax
allocation. Under this method, future tax expense was based on items in income and expense that were reported in different
years in the financial statements and tax returns and measured at the tax rate in effect in the year the difference originated.
As a result of this change, capital assets as at January 1, 1999 increased by $17,369, future income tax assets as at January 1,
1999 increased by $19,900, future income tax liabilities as at January 1, 1999 increased by $28,553, and retained earnings as
at  January 1,  1999  increased  by  $8,716.  In  addition,  consolidated  net  income  for  1999  decreased  by  $11,961  and  retained
earnings as at December 31, 1999 decreased by $3,245. Net income for the year ended December 31, 2000 decreased by $3,847.

(b) Employee future benefits
Effective  January  1,  2000,  the  Corporation  adopted,  retroactively  without  restatement  of  prior  years,  the  new
recommendations of the CICA for accounting for employee future benefits. The result was to increase accrued pension assets
by $3,364, increase other benefit plan liabilities by $2,370, increase future income tax liabilities by $238 and increase retained
earnings by $756. The change did not have a significant impact on net income for the current year.

Under  the  new  recommendations  the  Corporation’s  projected  benefit  obligation  is  discounted  using  a  market  related
discount rate. Previously, the discount rate used was based on management’s best estimate of long-term rates. In addition,
the Corporation in one instance provides post-retirement benefits, other than pensions, which primarily include health care
and life insurance benefits, which are not covered under the Corporation’s principal pension plans. The new recommendations
require  that  these  costs,  based  on  the  terms  of  the  plan,  be  recognized  on  an  accrual  basis  during  the  years  the  plan
participants provide the services. Previously the cost of providing these benefits was expensed when paid.

(c) Income per common share
Effective December 31, 2000, the Corporation retroactively adopted the new recommendations of the CICA with respect to
the  computation  of  diluted  income  per  common  share.  Under  the  new  standards,  the  treasury  stock  method  is  used  in
determining the dilutive effect of warrants and options. Previously, the imputed earnings approach was used.

As a result of this change, diluted income per common share for 1999 was restated from $0.48 to $0.49. This change had

no impact on the current year.

3. ACQUISITION

On June 11, 1999, the Corporation purchased the shares of Ellanef Manufacturing Corporation, an aerospace company, for a
total cost of $87,961. This acquisition was accounted for using the purchase method.

The purchase price was allocated in the accounts based on the estimated fair value of the assets acquired less liabilities

assumed as follows:

Working capital acquired
Capital and other assets
Future income tax liabilities
Long-term debt
Total consideration and net assets acquired

6. BANK INDEBTEDNESS

Bank indebtedness of $53,114 (1999 – $53,434) is payable on demand and bears interest at the bankers acceptance or LIBOR
rates,  plus  0.80%  to  1.25%.  A  fixed  and  floating  charge  debenture  on  certain  of  the  Corporation’s  assets  is  pledged  as
collateral for the operating loans and the term bank loan (see note 7).

11. FOREIGN EXCHANGE TRANSLATION

Unrealized  translation  adjustments,  which  arise  on  the  translation  to  Canadian  dollars  of  assets  and  liabilities  of  the
Corporation’s self-sustaining foreign operations, resulted in an unrealized currency translation gain of $2,266 for the year
ended December 31, 2000, which had no impact on net income for the current year. The unrealized gain resulted from the
strengthening of the US dollar against the Canadian dollar.
