Tough  year,  solid  performance,  strong

potential  –  six  simple  words  that  sketch

Magellan’s  2001.  But  the  complete

picture  is  much  more  compelling  and

clearly reveals a brighter tomorrow.

S t r e n g t h   i n   I n t e g r a t i o n

Who could have predicted the appalling events of last September? Who could have predicted
the  consequent  near-catastrophic  collapse  of  the  commercial  airline  industry?  In  last  year’s 
message to shareholders, we reported on Magellan’s strong financial foundation, our ability to
identify and integrate key aerospace manufacturing facilities, the diversity of our products, and
our expanding leadership in aerospace markets around the globe. We confidently predicted
that Magellan would grow with our customers in an air travel market with an expected annual
growth  rate  of  4–5%  annually  for  the  next  20  years.  And  then  in  one  sudden  and  terrible
moment, the world changed – and everybody’s predictions became so much scrap paper.

Yet, during what was arguably one of the most difficult and depressed years in the history of
the  aerospace  industry,  Magellan’s  fundamental  strengths  insulated  us  from  the  precipitous
decline in the commercial airline market and motivated a solid financial performance. These
same strengths will continue to underpin our financial vigour and corporate growth in the near
term  and  ensure  Magellan  retains  and  expands  our  market  leadership  well  into  the  future,
regardless of cycles in individual aerospace sectors or the broader economy. These predictions
we can make with confidence because of Magellan’s critical strengths in six key areas.

1. Strength in Our Financial Foundation

Events in the commercial aerospace sector, caused by the combination of current economic
conditions  and  the  September  11th disaster,  impacted  the  results  for  the  quarter  and  year
ended December 31, 2001. In the immediate term, widespread logistics and transportation
problems interrupted the supply chain and added costs. From early in 2001 to year-end and
extending into 2002, the general slowdown in the economy and the significant impact on air
travel  and  the  airlines  has  resulted  in  reduced  demand  for  certain  civil  aviation  products. 
The Corporation has been able to restore efficiencies and replace some of the civil aviation
reductions with defence work, mitigating the impact on revenue and profits. 

These 2001 results, although obviously affected by the current economic slowdown, deliver
bottom-line  proof  that  Magellan  is  a  strong,  integrated  organization  capable  of  sustained 
corporate and financial growth, even in difficult markets. In short, Magellan has emerged from the
airline industry slowdown financially strong, well positioned to continue meeting the challenges
that face our industry, and with the resources to grow rapidly as market trends dictate. 

2. Strength in Integration

The  Corporation’s  strategic  growth  plan  and  our  track  record  in  identifying,  acquiring  and 
rapidly integrating key aerospace industry manufacturing facilities proved its worth during the
recent crises. Integration was quite simply the right strategy at the right time. 

S i z e   M a t t e r s

New customers in Europe and Asia liked the technology and efficiency of our individual plants.At the same time, they
wanted assurances of financial stability over the long term. Magellan was able to demonstrate that customers could have
the benefits of both small plant efficiencies and large company financial strength in Magellan.We won the orders.

With  integration,  the  sum  is  greater  than  its  parts.  It  brings  synergies  and  benefits  to  our 
customers  by  allowing  Magellan  to  provide  a  more  complete  package.  It  promotes  cross-
pollination  of  core  competencies.  It  combines  with  market  and  product  diversity  to  insulate
Magellan from market cycles. And the integration of key activities, such as purchasing and
marketing, continues to improve our gross margins.

3. Strength in Strategic Diversity and Market Leadership

Strategic  product  diversity  allows  Magellan  to  weather  expected  and  unexpected  market
cycles. For example, as the commercial airline sector diminished, the defence sector expanded.
As  the  supplier  of  choice  for  many  military-oriented  products  and  services,  Magellan’s 
business also expanded in this sector. And with defence budgets continuing on the upswing –

components.We were praised for our reliability, quality and delivery performance.We bid the program and won on price
and delivery time.

4. Strength in Global Reach

Magellan has the operational scope to service customers around the globe and enhances our
global reach with strong and current knowledge of individual markets. Our traditionally strong
base in the United States and Canada provides a broad range of customers for our products.
Increasingly, these markets are being supplemented by the development of new customers in
the United Kingdom, Europe, Australasia and some emerging countries. This diversity provides
a balance of economic conditions across our customer base.

5. Strength in Continuous Improvement and Quality

Magellan  continues  our  active  program  of  simplifying  operations  to  achieve  improved 
effectiveness, while reducing cost through Lean Operations.

For  Magellan,  Lean encompasses  the  traditional  shop  floor  Lean  Manufacturing focus  and
much  more.  All  aspects  of  our  operations,  including  order  entry,  purchasing,  engineering,
finance and marketing, adhere powerfully to the principles of Lean – and the real business
strength of our dedication to Lean Operations is increasingly evident in both our bottom line
results and high levels of customer satisfaction. Lean will become even more integral to our
operating efficiency and quality improvements as we move into the future.

I n n o v a t i o n   a n d   E n v i r o n m e n t a l   S t e w a r d s h i p

Magellan received the Corporate Innovation Award for 2001 from the Canada Council of the American Society for
Materials (ASM) International, presented in Indianapolis in November 2001. Magellan was also a finalist in the
Flight International Aerospace Industry Awards for Innovation, Propulsion category, presented in Paris in June 2001.

Magellan also earned an award from Canada’s National Action Program on Climate Change for the monitoring
and reduction of green house gases. Ongoing environmental efforts include programs to monitor and restore ground
water  quality, development  of  engines  capable  of  running  on  biofuel, deployment  of  energy  efficient  co-generation
industrial power sets, contribution to the development of low-emission industrial power engines, and development of
environmentally friendly coating technologies for turbine engines.

Magellan’s operating divisions are renowned for their product quality and with the Six Sigma

raise the accuracy of our manufacturing and transactional processes to achieve and maintain
total customer satisfaction.

Six Sigma and Lean Operations are only two elements in our strong investment in training,
education and continuous improvement. To date, over 200 of our employees have achieved
Six  Sigma  green/black  belt  status or  Lean  Operations  training.  On  the  management  side, 
43  of  our  management  group  have  taken  advantage  of  the  Rothman’s  School  of  Business
executive  MBA  program  (University  of  Toronto)  or  the  Canadian  Institute  of  Management 
program (University of Manitoba).

Magellan  continues  to  invest  to  enhance  the  manufacturing  capabilities  of  our  plants. 
In 2001, we: 

• Invested  $30  million  in  plant  and  equipment  and  $15  million  in  new  programs.
• Invested  in  new  program  development  in  Aerostructure  and  Specialty  Products.
• Undertook  customer-funded  and  co-funded  program  developments  in  Aeroengine

A new program to produce landing gear components was won in 2001 because of our
rapid  response  to  the  customer’s  requirement, our  willingness  to  meet  tight  delivery
dates, and our ability to handle all technical information electronically.

Capital  investment,  product  development,  technical  development  and  personnel  training  and 
education, plus a firm commitment to prudent financial resource management, keep us competitive
in all our markets and set the stage for growth in returns as the economic recovery broadens.

6. Strength in Core Competencies

Magellan has developed core competencies that are industry leading and have enabled us to
create  a  breadth  of  products  and  services  much  in  demand  by  our  aerospace  customers.
During 2001, we continued to leverage these core competencies in some very innovative ways:

• High  Velocity  Machining  (HVM)  –  a  multi-year  research  and  development  program,  in
conjunction with Technology Partnerships Canada, focussed on the implementation of high
velocity cutting techniques for hard metals such as titanium, stainless steels and super alloys.
• Latest  metal  processing  –  Computer  Numeric  Control  (CNC)  6-axis  laser  drilling  and 
welding,  electronic  discharge  machining  (EDM),  metallurgic  laboratories  for  test,  and
research and development of metallic coatings.

•  Composite – CNC laser ply locating, CNC ply and core cutting, CNC 5-axis trimming and

ultra-sonic inspection.

C u t t i n g   C o s t s   a n d   T i m e

Our  High Velocity  Machining  (HVM)  program  has  achieved  impressive  results  in
increasing the cutting velocity, condensing the overall machining cycle, and developing
high velocity cutting techniques for thin wall monolithic structures for hard metals – thus
reducing production costs and manufacturing time while delivering a superior product.

Our core competencies have also allowed us to diversify and penetrate new markets at little
cost or risk yet with the potential for strong and continuing financial returns – for example:

• Industrial Power/Co-generation.
• Oil and natural gas equipment.
• Space hardware.

Message to Shareholders

Strength for a Brighter Tomorrow

Even through the recent challenging times faced by the aerospace sector, Magellan stayed
the  course  to  achieve  our  mission:  To  deliver  assured,  long-term  growth  and  returns  to  our
shareholders and other stakeholders. Because of our essential financial strength, we were able
to  sustain  our  growth  and  development  in  ways  that  enhance  our  position  as  one  of  the
world’s leading aerospace suppliers:

• We are continuing to invest in new technologies such as high velocity machining, composite
structures, exotic materials processing, and environmentally friendly product improvements. 
• We  are  continuing  the  implementation  of  state  of  the  art  plant  equipment  and  new 

information technology.

• Several  new  product  development  programs  are  either  underway,  or  will  be  launched 

in 2002.

Our strategy of constant product and service diversification protects the Corporation against
aerospace business fluctuations. The commercial airline sector is returning to normal at a faster
than expected pace – led by the robust regional and value airlines that are already placing
orders for additional aircraft. Older generation aircraft will be replaced by new generation
aircraft. As this sector emerges from the downturn, we intend to grow with our customers in the
provision of new and replacement aircraft assemblies, engines and related services.

In  2001,  we  maintained  a  conservative  financial  strategy  that  further  strengthened  our 
balance sheet. As a consequence, Magellan is well positioned to seek strategic acquisitions
that complement and extend our integrated offerings in niche markets – and we will do so in
the near future. We will also continue to grow organically by leveraging our core competencies
to develop a wider range of products and services for the markets we know intimately. There’s
no doubt that 2001 was a tough year. But, even in the face of adversity, Magellan achieved
solid performance and made significant strides toward a brighter tomorrow.

We thank Magellan’s employees for their dedication, professionalism and quality of production.
Individually and collectively they are Magellan’s first in rank strength and the true foundation of
our success.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Magellan Aerospace Corporation (“Magellan”) is a diversified supplier of components 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 2001 showed growth in earnings and shareholders’
equity, strengthening its ability to serve the world aviation market.

Year ended December 31, 2001 compared with the year ended December 31, 2000

Consolidated revenue for the year ended December 31, 2001 was $614.5 million, a decrease of $10.9 million or 1.7%
from 2000 levels. The decrease resulted from a combination of current economic conditions and the aftermath of the
September 11th disaster.

Cost of revenues was $502.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2001, for a gross profit of $111.8 million or
18.2%. This compares to the gross profit of $115.7 million or 18.5% recorded in 2000. Lower sales, uncertain shipping
schedules, and the Corporation’s manpower levels decreasing at a slower rate than sales contributed to lower margins.

Administrative and general expenses were $39.4 million or 6.4% of revenues for the year ended December 31, 2001,
compared to $35.5 million or 5.7% of revenues in 2000. Management continues to focus on minimizing these costs,
however, intensified marketing efforts and increased employee costs have contributed to the increase in administrative
and general expenses over the comparable period in the prior year.

Interest expense of $11.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2001 was $8.4 million or 42.8% lower than 2000 
levels. Interest expense was lower in 2001 as Magellan benefited from the significant reductions in borrowing rates and
lower debt levels.

Income tax expense was $19.5 million in 2001, on income before income taxes of $60.0 million for an effective tax rate
of 32.4%. This rate includes an adjustment of $2.5 million recorded in the second quarter to reflect the effect of lower
Canadian tax rates on the Corporation’s net future tax liabilities. In 2000, income tax expense was $21.7 million on pre-
tax income of $59.6 million for an effective rate of 36.4%. 

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 and reflects the impact of 
“Six Sigma” and lean manufacturing techniques initiated throughout the Corporation.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

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 of provincial income tax rates as well as the
use of capital loss carry-forwards applied to capital gains realized on the disposition of other assets.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

In 2001, the Corporation continued to generate an increasing amount of cash from operating activities when compared
to 2000. Cash flow from operations was $65.9 million for the year, an increase of $12.9 million from the previous year. 

During the year ended December 31, 2001, the Corporation invested $32.4 million in new production equipment to 
modernize current facilities and to enhance its capabilities. The Corporation also used a total of $36.3 million of funds
generated to reduce 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, 2001
and 2000 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 Canadian generally accepted auditing standards. 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, 2001 and 2000 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then
ended in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

December 31, 2001 and 2000

(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 Canadian generally
accepted accounting principles within the framework of the significant accounting policies summarized below. The 
consolidated financial statements of Magellan Aerospace Corporation (the “Corporation”) include the accounts of the
Corporation and its wholly-owned subsidiaries.

Management’s estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with Canadian generally accepted accounting 
principles 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 those 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

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

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.

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.

In June 2001, The Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants issued new recommendations with respect to Business
Combinations and Goodwill and Intangible Assets, effective for fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2002.
Under the new recommendations, goodwill and intangible assets deemed to have indefinite lives will no longer be 
amortized but will be subject to annual impairment tests in accordance with the new recommendations. Other intangible
assets will continue to be amortized over their useful lives.

The Corporation will apply the new recommendations on accounting for goodwill and other intangible assets beginning
in its first quarter of 2002. Application of the non-amortization provisions of the new recommendations is expected to
result in an increase in net income of $576 per year. During 2002, the Corporation will perform the first of the required
impairment tests of goodwill as of January 1, 2002 and has not yet determined what the effect of this test will be on
the income and financial position of the Corporation.

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 revenue 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.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

During the year, The Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants amended its recommendations with respect to
Accounting for Foreign Exchange. Under the revised recommendations, effective for fiscal years commencing on or 
after January 1, 2002, foreign exchange gains or losses on long-term monetary assets and liabilities with fixed and
ascertainable lives are no longer to be deferred and amortized over the period to maturity.

The Corporation will apply the revised recommendations, on a retroactive basis, effective January 1, 2002. Accordingly,
the balance of the deferred foreign exchange of $2,331 will be charged to opening retained earnings.

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 8. 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.

In December 2001, The Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants issued new recommendations with respect to 
stock based compensation, effective for fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2002. Under the recommendations, 
companies are required to account for all issuances of stock or stock options to non-employees in exchange for goods 
or services and direct awards of stock in exchange for employee services to be accounted for at fair value (using an
option pricing model for stock options). Companies will be permitted to account for all other employee stock based 
compensation plans using either the fair value approach (which will give rise to compensation expense) or the intrinsic
value approach which does not. The Corporation does not expect that the new recommendations will have any impact
on its income or financial position.

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. Diluted income per share reflects the assumed conversion of all dilutive securities using the
treasury stock method.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Under the Corporation’s bank facilities, the Corporation has three financial covenants, namely the ratio of income before
interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization to debt; minimum tangible net worth; and fixed charge coverage.
Each of the covenants were met throughout 2001. During 2002, the Corporation expects that each covenant will be met
with the possible exception of the fixed charge coverage covenant. Due to increased repayments of the term bank loan
in 2002, the minimum coverage level prescribed in this covenant may not be met. Management is anticipating either a
waiver of this covenant or the renegotiation of the terms of the facility if required. If this is not achieved, the term debt
would be classified as current and related deferred financing costs would be charged to income. Management believes
that a renegotiated facility will be obtained if required.

Long-term debt maturities for the next four years are as follows:

For the year ended December 31, 2001 options to purchase 459,400 common shares (2000 – 471,400 common shares)
were not included in the computation of the diluted income per share because the option exercise prices were greater
than the average price of the common shares.

8. STOCK BASED COMPENSATION PLAN 

The Corporation has an incentive stock option plan, which provides for the granting of options for the benefit of 
employees and directors. The maximum number of common shares that may be issued under this plan is 5.2 million.
Options are granted at an exercise price that will be the market price of the Corporation’s common shares at the time 
of granting. Options normally have a life of 5 years with vesting of 20% at the end of the first, second, third, fourth and
fifth years from the date of the grant. In addition, certain business unit income tests must be met in order the for the
optionholder’s entitlement to fully vest.

A summary of the plan and changes during each of 2001 and 2000 are as follows:

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 $4,944 for the 
year ended December 31, 2001 (2000 – $2,266), which is reflected as foreign exchange translation on the consolidated
balance sheets and had no impact on net income. The unrealized gain resulted from the strengthening of the U.S. dollar
against the Canadian dollar.

10. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION

(a)

Interest expense on long-term debt in 2001 was $8,388 (2000 – $14,059).

December 31, 2006 based on approved expenditures. The investment is repayable as royalties ranging from 1%

14. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

(a) Fair value

The Corporation has determined the estimated fair values of its financial instruments based on appropriate valuation
methodologies, however considerable judgment is required to develop these estimates. Accordingly, these estimated
fair values are not necessarily indicative of the amounts the Corporation could realize in a current market exchange.
The estimated fair value amounts can be materially affected by the use of different assumptions or methodologies.
The methods and assumptions used to estimate the fair value of financial instruments are described below:

Cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, bank indebtedness and accounts payable and accrued liabilities

Due to the short period to maturity of these instruments, the carrying values as presented in the consolidated 
balance sheets are reasonable estimates of fair value.

Long-term debt

The fair value of the Corporation’s long-term debt, based on current rates for debt with similar terms and maturities,
is not materially different from its carrying value.

(b) Credit risk

The Corporation’s financial assets that are exposed to credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents and
accounts receivable.

The Corporation, in the normal course of business, is exposed to credit risk from its customers substantially all of
which are in the aerospace industry. These accounts receivable are subject to normal industry credit risks.

Cash and cash equivalents, which consist of short-term investments, including commercial paper, are only invested
in entities with an investment grade credit rating. Credit risk is further reduced by limiting the amount which is
invested in any one government or corporation.

(c) Interest rate risk

The Corporation is not exposed to significant interest rate risk due to the short-term maturity of its monetary current
assets and current liabilities and its long-term debt balances being at variable rates.

(d) Foreign exchange contracts

The Corporation occasionally uses derivative financial instruments to manage foreign exchange risk. The
Corporation does not trade in derivatives for speculative purposes.

The Corporation has entered into foreign exchange contracts to hedge future cash flows in U.S. dollars. Under these
contracts the Corporation may be obliged to sell specific amounts of US. dollars at predetermined dates and
exchange rates. These contracts are matched with anticipated operational cash flows in U.S. dollars. 

The Corporation has U.S. dollar exchange contracts outstanding at December 31, as follows:
