letter to Shareholders

Whether you recently acquired your shares of Magellan 
aerospace Corporation (“Magellan” or the “Corporation”) 
or  have  held  the  Corporation’s  shares  for  a  number  of 
years, we offer sincere thanks for your support. Magellan 
recognizes that the accomplishments over the past year 
would not have been achieved without the contributions 
of our stakeholders, including shareholders, employees 
and customers. Magellan is pleased to have this oppor-
tunity to provide an overview of the past year’s activities, 
including  progress  made  on  significant  programs  and 
fundamental practices that Magellan applied to conduct 
its business and deliver value to shareholders.

Magellan  remains  committed  to  continuous  im-
provement through efforts consistently applied to produc-
tion  methodologies  as  well  as  the  supporting  business 
systems. these improvement initiatives impact positively 
the ability to meet customer requirements, maximize ef-
ficiencies  in  processes  and  increase  the  Corporation’s 
profitability.  Following  a  sustained  period  of  profitability 
and a strengthening of the Corporation’s balance sheet, 
Magellan  commenced  payment  of  a  quarterly  dividend 
on its common shares in the third quarter of 2013, reflect-
ing the confidence of Magellan’s Board of Directors in the 
Corporation’s current business operations.

During  2013,  Magellan  solidified  its  partici-
pation  on  new,  major  aircraft  platforms  that  align  with 
the  Corporation’s  core  capabilities.  Boeing,  airbus, 
and  lockheed  Martin,  three  of  the  world’s  largest 
prime  contractors  of  commercial  and  defence  aircraft 
(“oeMs”),  are  each  launching  new  products  to  the 
global market and Magellan is providing integrated so-
lutions  for  complex  assemblies  and  systems  on  each 
of  their  new  platforms.  Magellan  is  investing  in  tech-
nology,  equipment,  and  know-how  to  support  these 
programs through the development stage and as they 
evolve and mature into full production.

Magellan’s  core  business  lies  within  the  global 
aircraft market and is diversified by participation in new 
space programs and also in industrial power generation 
markets.  In  September  2013,  Magellan  announced  the 
award  of  a  Cdn  $110  million  contract  from  MacDonald, 
Dettwiler  and  associates  ltd.  of  Richmond,  British 
Columbia for the manufacture of the satellite bus for and 
the  RaDaRSat  Constellation  Mission  (“RCM”)  Satellite. 
the RCM contract is the Corporation’s largest space con-
tract to date for and which Magellan will design and pro-
duce three low earth orbit spacecraft buses.

additionally,  Magellan  has  established  and 
maintained a competitive and viable supply chain which 
serves as a critical support element to the Corporation’s 

1   Magellan 2013 annual RepoR t

core  business  and  long  term  global  growth  strategy. 
Where  there  is  an  opportunity  to  support  value-added 
requirements of its customers, Magellan will continue to 
develop and maintain its robust and reliable supply base. 
In this regard, in 2013, Magellan acquired a 49% owner-
ship  in  triveni  aeronautics  pVt  ltd.  based  in  southern 
India. triveni is an established and high quality supplier 
of metallic components to the global aerospace market. 
Following the completion of the transaction, Magellan fur-
ther invested in this enterprise by strengthening the local 
management  team  and  adding  machining  capabilities 
to ensure support of the needs of our customers in this 
emerging market.

In 2013, Magellan’s key financial indicators con-
tinued to show positive trends. Magellan’s balance sheet 
strengthened  year  over  year  as  the  Corporation  main-
tained  a  focus  on  debt  retirement.  through  the  applica-
tion of industry best practices as well as our own Magellan 
operating  SystemtM  (MoStM),  the  Corporation  continues 
to  focus  on  optimizing  performance  in  support  of  profit-
able growth and future business development.

MoStM  is  the  foundation  for  sustaining  our  op-
erational  excellence  across  all  business  units  of  the 
Corporation. over the past year, Magellan noted measur-
able progress in the maturing of the MoStM principles at 
our operational facilities, demonstrating that these princi-
ples are being adopted and put into practice by our em-
ployees. additionally, a Magellan team has been working 
closely with the most recently acquired european facilities 
in greyabbey and Blackpool in the united Kingdom and 
Mielec, poland to standardize their processes utilizing the 
MoStM  methodologies  and  these  efforts  will  continue  in 
the coming year.

Magellan  has  been  growing,  largely  through 
acquisition, since the mid 1990’s, adding targeted aero-
space capacity and capabilities that either improved the 
organizations’ core efficiencies or offered opportunities for 
strategic growth. the Corporation will continue to assess 
the marketplace to identify business opportunities which 
would  support  and  complement  present  operations. 
By  applying  the  standardized  processes  of  MoStM,  the 
Corporation  can  hopefully  migrate  the  risk  of  integrating 
new businesses into the Corporation and can accelerate 
the value-added contributions provided to customers.

over the last number of years, Magellan has un-
dertaken a comprehensive rationalization of the collective 
capabilities of our business. Magellan identified the core 
strengths  of  the  organization  where  the  market  showed 
the business to be potentially world caliber in operation. 
Making the right investments in technology and capabili-

ties are essential to Magellan’s ability to provide cost effec-
tive solutions for customer needs across product groups. 
In  this  direction  Magellan  has  demonstrated  industry-
leading expertise in the areas of sand and magnesium 
castings, aeroengine shafts, hard metal machining, com-
posites  and  assembly,  metallic  ribs  and  spars,  power 
generation, and rockets and space. these core compe-
tencies are optimized to provide integrated and innova-
tive  solutions  for  complex  customer  requirements.  the 
embedded technology and business disciplines provide 
customers  with  sustainable  quality  and  delivery  perfor-
mance at a competitive cost.

an  example  is  castings,  where  Magellan  is 
known by its customers for its core competency to cast 
some  of  the  most  complex  geometries  in  the  industry. 
By combining our knowledge of emerging technologies, 
and 60-years of experience in applying casting technolo-
gies, Magellan has identified opportunities to transform 
and  introduce  step-change  improvements  in  the  busi-
ness  of  manufacturing  precision  magnesium  and  alu-
minum  castings.  the  investments  and  technologies  we 
are applying to the casting process will bring significant 
change that will break through the traditional limitations of 
the casting process. the innovative application of tech-
nologies  such  as  3D  sand  printing,  robotics,  scanning 
and other improvements to conventional production pro-
cesses will change the way a sand casting is produced. 
We  intend  to  lead  the  industry  in  delivering  new  stan-
dards  of  quality,  delivery  and  cost.  Value  to  customers 
can be enhanced by utilizing Magellan’s complimentary 
core capabilities to further process these cast parts into 
machined and kitted subassemblies.

global  demands  in  the  aerospace  sector  to-
day  are  stable.  Challenges  for  the  industry  are  to  meet 
demanding  production  schedules,  stay  innovative,  and 
adopt  the  new  technologies  required  to  support  aero-
space  market  demands  of  tomorrow.  Magellan’s  experi-
enced and professional team is enthusiastic as they face 
these  challenges  and  as  they  offer  their  contributions 
to  the  evolving  industry  technologies  that  could  only  be 
dreamed of a generation ago.

management’s discussion and analysis
December 31, 2013

this Management’s Discussion and analysis (“MD&a”) of the financial condition and results of operations of Magellan 
aerospace Corporation (“Magellan” or the “Corporation”) should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidat-
ed  financial  statements  and  the  notes  thereto  for  the  years  ended  December  31,  2013  and  2012,  and  the  annual 
Information Form for the year ended December 31, 2013 (available on SeDaR at www.sedar.com). this MD&a pro-
vides  a  review  of  the  significant  developments  that  have  impacted  the  Corporation’s  performance  during  the  year 
ended December 31, 2013 relative to the year ended December 31, 2012. the information contained in this report is 
as at March 21, 2014. all financial references are in Canadian dollars unless otherwise noted.

the  MD&a  contains  forward-looking  information  that  represents  the  Corporation’s  internal  projections,  expecta-
tions,  estimates  or  beliefs  concerning,  among  other  things,  future  operating  results  and  various  components  there-
of or the Corporation’s future economic performance. these statements relate to future events or future performance. 
all  statements  other  than  statements  of  historical  facts  may  be  forward-looking  statements.  In  particular  and  without 
limitation there are forward looking statements under the heading “overview”, “2013 and Recent updates”, “outlook”, 
“Consolidated  Revenues”,  “liquidity  and  Capital  Resources”,  “Risk  Factors”  and  “Future  Changes  in  accounting 
policies”. In some cases, forward-looking statements can be identified by terminology such as “may”, “will”, “should”, 
“expects”, “projects”, “plans”, “anticipates”, and similar expressions. the projections, estimates and beliefs contained 
in such forward-looking statements are based on management’s assumptions relating to the production performance of 
Magellan’s assets and competition throughout the aerospace industry in 2013 and continuation of the current regulatory 
and tax regimes in the jurisdictions in which the Corporation operates, and necessarily involve known and unknown risks 
and uncertainties, including the business risks discussed in this MD&a, which may cause actual performance and finan-
cial results in future periods to differ materially from any projections of future performance or results expressed or implied 
by such forward-looking statements. accordingly, readers are cautioned that events or circumstances could cause re-
sults to differ materially from those predicted. except as required by law, the Corporation does not undertake to update 
any forward-looking information in this document whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

the MD&a presents certain non-IFRS financial measures to assist readers in understanding the Corporation’s perfor-
mance. non-IFRS financial measures are measures that either exclude or include amounts that are not excluded or in-
cluded in the most directly comparable measures calculated and presented in accordance with generally accepted 
accounting principles (“gaap”). throughout this discussion, reference is made to eBItDa (defined as net income be-
fore interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization), which the Corporation considers to be an indicative measure 
of operating performance and a metric to evaluate profitability. eBItDa is not a generally accepted earnings measure 
and should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss) or cash flows as determined in accordance with 
IFRS. as there is no standardized method of calculating this measure, the Corporation’s eBItDa may not be directly 
comparable with similarly titled measures used by other companies. Reconciliations of eBItDa to net income (loss) re-
ported in accordance with IFRS are included in this MD&a.

1. Overview
A summary of Magellan’s business and significant 2013 events

Magellan is a diversified supplier of components to the aerospace industry and in certain applications for power genera-
tion projects. through its wholly owned subsidiaries, Magellan engineers and manufactures aeroengine and aerostructure 
components for aerospace markets, including advanced products for defence and space markets and complementary 
specialty products. the Corporation also supports the aftermarket through the supply of spare parts as well as through re-
pair and overhaul services and in certain circumstances parts and equipment for power generation projects.

the Corporation has focused on improving operations, improving its balance sheet and on leveraging core competen-
cies in its strategic business development activities. During 2013, key performance indicators reflected the success 
of the Corporation’s MoStM program. MoStM is the Magellan operating System adopted in 2007 which standardizes 
and instills best practices in the Corporation’s divisions. this program and its policies and procedures have been firm-
ly embedded in daily operations and continue to produce positive results. through cash generation from improved 
operating performance, the balance sheet has improved year over year. Management, in utilizing the positive cash 
generation, has maintained a year over year focus on debt retirement. Recent new program awards have confirmed 
the value of the Corporation’s core competency strategy as it pursues new work opportunities.

Magellan is organized and managed as two business segments and is viewed as two operating segments by the chief 
operating decision-makers, for the purpose of resource allocations, assessing performance, and strategic planning. 
these two segments are: aerospace and power generation project. the Corporation supplies both the commercial 
and defence sectors of the aerospace segment. In the commercial sector, the Corporation is active in the large com-
mercial jet, business jet, regional aircraft and helicopter markets. on the defence side, the Corporation provides parts 
and services for major military aircraft. Magellan’s sole product for the power generation project segment is an elec-
tric power generation project in the Republic of ghana.

the Corporation’s percentages of revenues by segment are as follows:

aerospace
power generation project

2013
99.7%
0.3%
100%

2012

94%
6%
100%

Within  the  aerospace  segment,  the  Corporation  has  two  major  product  groupings:  aerostructures  and  aeroengines. 
aerostructure and aeroengine products are used both in new aircraft and for spares and replacement parts.

the  Corporation  supplies  aerostructure  products  to  an  international  customer  base  in  the  commercial  and  defence 
markets. Components are produced to aerospace tolerances using conventional and high-speed automated machining 
centres. Capabilities include precision casting of airframe-mounted components. Management believes that Magellan’s 
dedication  to  technological  innovation  combined  with  low  cost  sourcing  from  emerging  markets  will  position  the 
Corporation to capture targeted complex assembly programs.

Within the aeroengines product grouping, the Corporation manufactures complex cast, fabricated and machined gas 
turbine engine components, both static and rotating, and integrated nacelle components, flow paths and engine exhaust 
systems for the world’s leading aeroengine manufacturers. the Corporation also performs repair and overhaul services 
for jet engines and related components.

the power generation project segment is a specialty product complementary to the Corporation’s principal business. 
the Corporation’s sole product in the power generation project segment is an electric power generation project in the 
Republic of ghana that was substantially completed in 2013. While a number of power generation project opportunities 
are being considered, at this time the Corporation does not have any other committed projects.

5   Magellan 2013 annual RepoR t

Management’s Discussion and Analysis December 31, 2013the  Corporation  serves  both  the  commercial  and  defence  markets.  In  2013,  for  the  aerospace  segment,  73%  of 
revenues were derived from commercial markets (2012 – 70%, 2011 – 67%) while 27% of revenues related to defence 
markets (2012 – 30%, 2011 – 33%).

2013 and Recent Updates
–   on June 17, 2013, Magellan announced that it had signed a Memorandum of agreement (“Moa”) with Bae Systems for 
work on the F-35 lightning II program (“F-35 program”). under the agreement Magellan will produce more than 1,000 sets 
of horizontal tails for the Conventional take off and landing (“Ctol”) variant of the F-35 program over a 20-year period. 
the agreement formalizes the continuation of the strategic relationship between Bae Systems and Magellan. Magellan will 
produce F-35a horizontal tail assemblies using components that require advanced composite manufacturing, machining 
capabilities, and strict quality standards. the majority of the components used for the assembly are produced at various 
Magellan facilities. the F-35a horizontal tail production under the Moa has a potential value of over Cdn$1.2 billion over the 
life of the program. Magellan has achieved sales of more than Cdn$121M on the F-35 as at December 31, 2013. 

–   Magellan announced on September 4, 2013 the award of a Cdn$110 million contract from MacDonald, Dettwiler and 
associates ltd. of Richmond, British Columbia for the RaDaRSat Constellation Mission (“RCM”) satellite bus manu-
facture. the RCM is comprised of three low earth orbit spacecraft, each carrying a C-band Synthetic aperture Radar 
payload. RCM is a Canadian Space agency mission that will provide twenty-four-hour-a-day C-Band data to augment 
and extend the data that RaDaRSat-2 users currently rely on. the mission will support maritime surveillance (ship de-
tection, ice monitoring and oil spill detection), disaster management and ecosystem monitoring. the primary areas of 
coverage are Canada and its surrounding arctic, pacific and atlantic maritime areas. the launch is planned in 2018.

–   on  September  30,  2013,  Magellan  announced  the  first  launch  of  its  MaC-200  Bus  on  the  Cascade  SmallSat  and 
Ionospheric polar explorer (“CaSSIope”) satellite from the Vandenberg air Force Base, California on a Falcon 9 launch 
vehicle. CaSSIope is a multi-purpose mission carrying 8 unique instruments to conduct space environment research 
(collectively called e-pop) and advanced telecommunications technology demonstration (termed Cascade).

–   Magellan announced on october 16, 2013, that the first complete ship set of F-35a horizontal tail assemblies pro-
duced at its Winnipeg manufacturing division was successfully installed onto the aircraft at lockheed Martin’s final 
assembly line in Fort Worth, texas. this successful installation of Magellan’s F-35a horizontal tail assemblies was a 
key program milestone for the Corporation and demonstrated the many contributions being made by Canadian aero-
space companies in the early stages of the F-35 program.

–   an  announcement  was  made  on  november  8,  2013  that  an  agreement  had  been  reached  between  airbus  and 
Magellan securing a major work package on the airbus a350 XWB. the package, which is in addition to other supply 
contracts Magellan has on the a350 XWB, consists of a series of machined and assembled structural components for 
the fuselage structure in this aircraft which supports the cabin storage bins and aircraft systems and is worth approxi-
mately united States $45 million over the next 4 years.

–   the Corporation announced on January 22, 2014 that an agreement had been reached between airbus and Magellan 
securing a significant work package to manufacture and supply complex, 5-axis machined wing ribs for airbus’ single 
aisle a320 product family including the a320neo. this additional work package complements the existing a320 wing 
ribs manufactured by Magellan. the work package is expected to generate revenues of approximately united States 
$20 million over the next 5 years. Magellan will invest in a new high-speed, 5-axis machining centre to be located in its 
facility in greyabbey, northern Ireland, enhancing the capabilities of the existing machining facilities.

–   on March 3, 2014, Magellan announced that the first Magellan-manufactured horizontal tail assembly installed on 
an F-35a lightning II aircraft was successfully flown for the first time on February 26, 2014. the Magellan horizontal 
tail assembly flew on aircraft aF-46, an F-35a Ctol variant, from lockheed Martin’s final assembly line in Fort Worth, 
texas. the first flight of this Canadian-manufactured tail assembly marks an important milestone for Magellan as a ma-
jor Canadian supplier to the international F-35 program.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis December 31, 2013Labour Matters
labour agreements at five of the Corporation’s facilities expired during the year ended December 31, 2013. three of 
those labour agreements were successfully re-negotiated with new contract periods ending in 2016. the Corporation 
is currently in negotiations on the two remaining labour agreements that expired on December 31, 2013. three labour 
agreements at two of the Corporation’s facilities expire in 2014. the Corporation has commenced negotiation at one fa-
cility as the agreement expires March 31, 2014.

Financing Matters
on  December  21,  2012,  the  Corporation  extended  the  7.5%  loan  payable  (“original  loan”)  to  edco  Capital 
Corporation  (“edco”),  a  corporation  controlled  by  the  Chairman  of  the  Board  of  Directors  of  the  Corporation  (the 
“Board”) to January 1, 2015 in consideration of the payment of a fee to edco equal to 0.75% of the principal amount 
outstanding at the time of extension. During 2013, the Corporation fully repaid the original loan.

on December 21, 2012, the Corporation also amended its credit agreement with its existing lenders. under the terms 
of the amended agreement, the maximum amount available under the operating credit facility was decreased to a 
Canadian  dollar  limit  of  $115.0  million  (down  from  $125.0  million)  plus  a  united  States  dollar  limit  of  $35.0  million 
(down from united States $50.0 million), with a maturity date of December 21, 2014. the credit agreement also in-
cludes a Cdn$50 million uncommitted accordion provision which will provide Magellan with the option to increase the 
size of the operating credit facility to $200 million. the facility is extendible for unlimited one year renewal periods, 
subject to mutual consent of the syndicate of lenders and the Corporation. the operating credit facility continues to 
be fully guaranteed until December 21, 2014 by Mr. edwards, the Chairman of the Board, in consideration of the con-
tinued payment by the Corporation of an annual fee, payable monthly, equal to 0.50% (down from 0.63%) of the loan 
amount.

the terms of the operating credit facility continue to permit the Corporation to repay, in whole or in part, the original loan 
from edco provided there is no current default or event of default under the operating credit facility and after the repay-
ment of the original loan the Corporation has at least $25.0 million in availability under the operating credit facility.

on april 30, 2012, $2 million Convertible Debentures then outstanding and held by a director of the Corporation were 
converted into 2,000,000 Common Shares of the Corporation.

2. OutlOOk
The outlook for Magellan’s business in 2014

the Corporation remains confident in the strength of its present market position and is encouraged by the market trends 
observed in 2013. Magellan’s participation on new platforms such as the a320neo and the a350, the B737 MaX and the 
B787 and the F-35 are providing good counterbalance to maturing legacy programs. ongoing efforts to secure further 
work on next generation aircraft platforms are achieving success, as evidenced by a recent announcement awarding 
Magellan additional wing ribs on the a320neo platform.

Boeing’s single aisle aircraft production rates continue to be strong with B737 production now at 42 aircraft per month 
with a plan to increase to 45 aircraft per month by late 2015. airbus expects to maintain their a320 production rate at 42 
aircraft per month through 2014 and then increase to 44 aircraft per month by March 2015. Magellan’s participation on 
these platforms bodes well for the foreseeable future.

7   Magellan 2013 annual RepoR t

Management’s Discussion and Analysis December 31, 2013Wide-body aircraft rates remain strong with Boeing’s B787 now achieving a production rate of 10 aircraft per month. 
Boeing is presently forecasting an increase to 12 aircraft per month in 2016 and possibly 14 aircraft per month later in 
the decade. airbus has also reached its planned a380 steady-state production rate of 30 aircraft per year. the a350 is 
scheduled to ramp up in 2014 starting with an annual production rate of 16 aircraft per year, going to 36 aircraft in 2015, 
70 aircraft in 2016 and reaching an expected peak rate of 156 aircraft per year by 2018.

With continuing weak demand for small to medium business jets, the prevailing opinion is that this market will not achieve 
previous peak production levels in the next 10-year period. Since the market peak of 2008, larger, longer-range business 
jet models have outperformed their smaller counterparts. Magellan participates on some of the newer and more suc-
cessful platforms in this global market.

In the regional jet and turboprop marketplace, there is significant competition. Bombardier and atR have continued to 
work in a contracting turboprop market. production rates for Magellan supported product are expected to remain at ap-
proximately 24 – 30 aircraft per year. In the regional jet market, embraer and Bombardier are both developing programs 
to compete in the “100” seat class of the small single aisle commercial marketplace. Magellan provides some support in 
this sector primarily through its production of aero-engine castings.

Visibility  in  the  united  States  defence  market  improved  during  2013  as  the  united  States  government  approved  the 
2014/2015 budget that permits the pentagon to prioritize programs rather than have them cut indiscriminately by se-
questration. as the conflict between budget capacity and operational capability has not been eliminated, fewer orders 
for more highly capable platforms remain a possible outcome. the Corporation, through a number of its divisions, contin-
ues to support some united States and Canadian legacy products in the defence market.

the Corporation continues to invest in technology and resources in support of lockheed Martin’s F-35 Strategic Fighter 
program (“F-35 program”). this past year’s successful completion of major program milestones by lockheed and their 
partners is encouraging to the F-35 program’s customers and the supply base. the Corporation will benefit from recently 
announced foreign military sales as they solidify the F-35 program’s backlog. the Canadian government procurement 
decision for the next generation fighter is still under consideration and review. Magellan continues on track to mature its 
capabilities in support of the F-35 program requirements.

the north american helicopter market remains driven primarily by united States defence spending. the united States army 
is planning to consolidate its helicopter force with a net effect of removing approximately 540 ageing aircraft from service. 
Including a few other rotorcraft retirements, the overall move is expected to save the united States military some $1 billion an-
nually in direct operating costs and sustainment costs. Defence budget cuts are also being made by reducing the quantities 
in multi-year procurement agreements. on a positive note, Sikorsky/Boeing, Bell Helicopter and other helicopter manufactur-
ers are encouraged that funding is still slated for the united States army’s Joint Multi Role technology demonstration program. 
this will be the precursor to the Future Vertical lift program which is to replace H-60 Blackhawk and aH-64 apache platforms 
beginning in 2035. Magellan’s support to the helicopter marketplace comes primarily from its aeroengine and casting ca-
pabilities. In February 2014, the Canadian federal government released Canada’s Space policy Framework, a guide for the 
Canadian space program’s future priorities and activities. By releasing this framework, the government has acknowledged 
the importance of Canadian innovation and industry. this type of government commitment is fundamental to supporting the 
domestic space industry and programs in which Magellan invests and participates.

In conclusion, the Corporation anticipates that 2014 will continue to exhibit results reflective of the strong backlogs in the 
commercial aerospace part of the business. the current market, which is supported by the continued development of a 
number of new programs, is expected to remain strong in the coming year. Magellan’s activity in support of legacy de-
fence work has stabilized and this stability, complimented by the continued maturing of the F-35 program, should assist 
the Corporation in managing risk in this market place. the Corporation continues to assess the marketplace to identify 
complimentary opportunities which are in line with its core competencies.

Revenues for the year ended December 31, 2013 increased from 2012 and 2011 levels. the increase in revenues from 
2012 is largely attributable to increased delivery of new aircraft for the global commercial aerospace market. net income 
decreased in 2013 from 2012 due to an after tax gain on bargain purchase of $7.4 million recognized in 2012 on the 
purchase of John Huddleston engineering limited (“JHe”) as the consideration paid was lower than the fair value of the 
identifiable tangible assets acquired and the recognition in 2012 of previously non-recurring unrecognized investment 
tax credits (see “Results of operations – gross profit”) and deferred tax assets (see “Results of operations – Income 
taxes”). During 2013, the Corporation paid quarterly dividends on common shares of $0.03 per share in both the third 
and fourth quarter, amounting to $3.5 million. During 2011, the Corporation redeemed all of the outstanding preference 
Shares Series a and declared dividends thereon at an annual rate of $0.80 per share.

Consolidated Revenues
Consolidated revenues for the year ended December 31, 2013 increased 6.8% to $752.1 million from $704.0 million last 
year, due mainly to increased revenues earned in the Corporation’s aerospace segment offset, in part, by reduced rev-
enues in the Corporation’s power generation project segment. Record backlogs and increased volumes experienced by 
the original equipment manufacturers (“oeM’s”) in the global commercial aerospace market contributed to the increased 
revenues in the aerospace segment.

aerospace revenues for the year ended December 31, 2013 were $749.9 million, an increase of $91.2 million or 13.8% 
over the previous year. Increased revenues in Canada in 2013 of 2.4% in comparison to revenues earned in 2012 re-
sulted from higher volumes experienced in the year for proprietary products offset in part by lower revenues in repair 
and overhaul. Revenues in the united States, in native currency, were higher in 2013 when compared to 2012 as the 
Corporation’s volumes increased on several single aisle aircraft programs as well as on new programs introduced over 
the last few years. Revenues in europe increased in 2013 in comparison to 2012 revenues mainly due to higher produc-
tion levels resulting from increased order intake and the business acquisition of JHe in the third quarter of 2012.

Revenues increases in both the united States and in europe were also attributed to the favourable foreign exchange 
impact on the translation of foreign operations to Canadian dollars resulting from a stronger united States dollar and 
British pound in 2013 against the Canadian dollar when compared to 2012 and higher revenue generated in united 
States and europe in 2013. If average exchange rates for both the united States dollar and British pound experienced 
in 2012 remained constant in 2013, consolidated revenues for 2013 would have been approximately $734.4 million or 
approximately $15.5 million lower than actually realized in 2013.

Revenues earned in 2013 and 2012 are from the Corporation’s ghana electric power generation project. the ghana 
power  generation  project  (“the  project”)  was  substantially  completed  as  at  March  31,  2013.  During  2013,  the 
Corporation was notified of the mechanical breakdown of the turbines in the project. the Corporation and ghana have 
contracted with an independent arbitrator to assess the cause of the damage and are awaiting a final report of the find-
ings. Repairs of the equipment are currently underway. Based on internal assessments of the cause of the failure, the 
Corporation has not recorded any provisions in 2013. additional revenues may be recorded as the Corporation contin-
ues to support the commercial operation of the project; however, revenues from the power generation project segment 
will continue to decrease unless the Corporation receives further contracts in this area.

of revenues, was higher in 2013 at 14.9% versus 14.0% in 2012. Increased gross profit in 2013 was attributed to improved ef-
ficiencies, product mix and increased volumes experienced at a number of the Corporations locations. Higher costs associ-
ated with the work stoppage at one location and higher start-up costs associated with new programs in 2012 was somewhat 
offset by the recognition of non-recurring unrecognized investment tax credits from previous fiscal years of $10.4 million.

Included in other income is a foreign exchange gain of $0.1 million in 2013 compared to a gain of $0.6 million in 2012, 
resulting from the change in foreign exchange rates on the Corporation’s united States dollar denominated working capi-
tal balances and debt in Canada, and foreign exchange contracts. the Corporation reached a favourable agreement in 
2013 on the settlement of its borrowings subject to specific conditions and recorded a gain of $1.0 million. In 2013 and 
2012, the Corporation retired assets for a loss on disposal of approximately $0.6 million and $0.4 million, respectively.

Interest costs for 2013 were $6.7 million, a decrease of $2.5 million from 2012 levels. Interest on bank indebtedness and 
long-term debt in 2013 decreased as principal amounts outstanding during 2013 were lower than 2012 levels. lower in-
terest rate spreads on bank indebtedness also contributed to the reduction in interest expense in 2013 when compared 
to 2012. Increased long-term bond rates resulted in a recovery of previously recorded accretion charge in 2013 when 
compared to 2012. During 2013, the Corporation sold $256.2 million of accounts receivable at an annualized interest 
rate of 1.73% compared to the sale of $227.7 million of receivables in 2012 at an annualized interest rate of 1.83%.

the Corporation recorded an income tax expense in 2013 of $15.2 million on pre-tax income of $60.7 million, represent-
ing an effective tax rate of 25.1%, compared to an income tax expense of $3.4 million on a pre-tax income of $60.4 million 
in 2012 for an effective tax rate of 5.6%.

During each of 2013 and 2012, the Corporation recognized investment tax credits in Canada totalling $7.4 million and 
$16.4 million, respectively, as a reduction of cost of revenues, as the Corporation has determined that it will be able to 
benefit from these investment tax credits. the increase in the effective tax rate to 25.1% in 2013 when compared to 5.6% 
in 2012 was attributed to the recognition of an additional $13.0 million of non-recurring deferred tax assets in Canada as 
a reduction of the 2012 deferred income tax expense as the benefit from previously unrecorded loss carry forwards and 
other deferred tax assets were assessed as recoverable.

5. recOnciliA tiOn Of net incOme tO eBitdA
A description and reconciliation of certain non-IFRS measures used by management

In addition to the primary measures of earnings and earnings per share (basic and diluted) in accordance with IFRS, the 
Corporation includes eBItDa (earnings before interest expense, income taxes and depreciation and amortization) in 
this statement. the Corporation has provided this measure because it believes this information is used by certain inves-
tors to assess financial performance and that eBItDa is a useful supplemental measure as it provides an indication of 
the results generated by the Corporation’s principal business activities prior to consideration of how these activities are 
financed and how the results are taxed in the various jurisdictions. each component of this measure is calculated in ac-
cordance with IFRS, but eBItDa is not a recognized measure under IFRS, and the Corporation’s method of calculation 
may not be comparable with that of other companies. accordingly, eBItDa should not be used as an alternative to net 
income as determined in accordance with IFRS or as an alternative to cash provided by or used in operations.

tion of approximately $10.4 million of additional non-recurring unrecognized investment tax credits recorded in 2012.

the Corporation recorded its highest quarterly revenue in the fourth quarter of 2013. Revenues and net income reported 
in the quarterly information was impacted favourably by the fluctuations in the Canadian dollar exchange rate in com-
parison to the united States dollar and British pound. the united States dollar/Canadian dollar exchange rate in 2013 
fluctuated reaching a low of 0.9837 and a high of 1.0711. During 2013, the united States dollar relative to the Canadian 
dollar moved from an exchange rate of 0.9949 at the start of the 2013 calendar year to an exchange rate of 1.0636 by 
December 31, 2013. the British pound/Canadian dollar exchange rate in 2013 fluctuated reaching a low of 1.5291 and a 
high of 1.7986. During 2013, the British pound relative to the Canadian dollar moved from an exchange rate of 1.6178 at 
the start of the 2013 calendar year to an exchange rate of 1.7627 by December 31, 2013. Had exchange rates remained 
at levels experienced in 2012, reported revenues in 2013 would have been impacted minimally in the first and second 
quarter and would have been lower by $5.5 million in the third quarter and $9.2 million in the fourth quarter.

net income in the third quarter of 2012 was higher than each of the first two quarters of 2012 as the Corporation recog-
nized an after tax gain on bargain purchase of $7.4 million on the acquisition of JHe as the consideration paid was lower 
than the fair value of the identifiable tangible assets acquired at the time of purchase. net income for the fourth quarters 
of 2013 and 2012 of $16.8 million and $21.8 million, respectively, was higher than all other quarterly net income shown 
in the table above. In the fourth quarter of 2013 and 2012 the Corporation recognized a reversal of previous impairment 
losses against intangible assets relating to various commercial aircraft programs and in the fourth quarter of 2012 the 
Corporation recognized previously unrecognized investment tax credits as discussed above in “Results of operations – 
gross profit”, and recognized other deferred tax assets as discussed above in “Results of operations – Income taxes” 
as the Corporation determined that it will be able to benefit from these assets.

7. liQuidity And cApit Al reSOurceS
A discussion of Magellan’s cash flow, liquidity, credit facilities and other disclosures

the Corporation’s liquidity needs can be met through a variety of sources including cash on hand, cash provided by 
operations, short-term borrowings from its credit facility and accounts receivable securitization program, and long-term 
debt and equity capacity. principal uses of cash are for operational requirements and capital expenditures. Based on 
current funds available and expected cash flow from operating activities, management believes that the Corporation has 
sufficient funds available to meet its liquidity requirements at any point in time. However, if cash from operating activities 
is lower than expected or capital costs for projects exceed current estimates, or if the Corporation incurs major unantici-
pated expenses, it may be required to seek additional capital in the form of debt or equity or a combination of both.

In 2013, $69.8 million of cash was generated by operations, $44.4 million was used in investing activities and $41.2 million 
was used in financing activities. Cash decreased by $14.6 million in the year from $22.4 million to $7.8 million.

operating activities for 2013 generated cash of $69.8 million compared to $38.5 million in the prior year. Changes in non-
cash working capital items used cash of $10.3 million as a result of increases in accounts receivable, inventories and 
prepaid expenses offset in part by an increase in accounts payable, accrued liabilities and provisions. the increase in 
accounts receivable during the year is attributed primarily to the movement in accrued receivables. Increased inventory 
levels in 2013 were to support higher production volumes on a number of programs. In 2012, changes in non-cash work-
ing capital of $23.0 million were principally a result of an increase in accounts receivable and inventories, offset by an 
increase in accounts payable, accrued liabilities and provisions.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis December 31, 2013Major cash flow requirements for 2013 include the repayment of long-term debt of $30.9 million of which $26.0 million is ex-
pected to be refinanced, payments of equipment and facility leases of $2.1 million and other long-term liabilities of $1.6 million. 

on  December  21,  2012,  the  Corporation  amended  its  credit  agreement  with  its  existing  lenders.  under  the  terms 
of the amended agreement, the maximum amount available under the operating credit facility was decreased to a 
Canadian  dollar  limit  of  $115.0  million  (down  from  $125.0  million)  plus  a  united  States  dollar  limit  of  $35.0  million 
(down from united States $50.0 million), with a maturity date of December 21, 2014. the credit agreement also in-
cludes  a  Cdn$50.0  million  uncommitted  accordion  provision  which  provides  the  Corporation  with  the  option  to  in-
crease the size of the operating credit facility to $200.0 million. the facility is extendible for unlimited future one year 
renewal periods, subject to mutual consent of the syndicate of lenders and the Corporation. the operating credit facil-
ity continues to be fully guaranteed until December 21, 2014 by the Chairman of the Board of the Corporation in con-
sideration of the continued payment by the Corporation of an annual fee, payable monthly, equal to 0.50% (down from 
0.63%) of the loan amount.

as at December 31, 2013 the Corporation has made contractual commitments to purchase $11.9 million of capital as-
sets. In addition, the Corporation also has purchase commitments, largely for materials required for the normal course of 
operations, of $299.3 million as at December 31, 2013. the Corporation plans to fund all of these capital commitments 
with operating cash flow and the existing credit facility.

Outstanding Share Information
the authorized capital of the Corporation consists of an unlimited number of preference Shares, issuable in series, and 
an unlimited number of common shares. as at March 21, 2014, 58,209,001 common shares were outstanding. More in-
formation on the Corporation’s share capital is provided in note 16 of the consolidated financial statements.

In each of the third and fourth quarter of 2013, the Corporation declared and paid quarterly cash dividends of $0.03 
per common share representing an aggregate dividend payment of $3.5 million (2012 – $nil).

In the first quarter of 2014, the Corporation declared cash dividends of $0.04 per common share payable on March 31, 2014 to 
shareholders of record at the close of business on March 14, 2014.

8. finAnciAl inStrumentS
A summary of Magellan’s financial instruments

Derivative Contracts
the Corporation operates internationally, which gives rise to a risk that its income, cash flows and shareholders’ equity 
may be adversely impacted by fluctuations in foreign exchange rates. Currency risk arises because the amount of the 
local currency receivable or payable for transactions denominated in foreign currencies may vary due to changes in ex-
change rates and because the non-Canadian dollar denominated financial statements of the Corporation’s subsidiaries 
may vary on consolidation into the reporting currency of Canadian dollars. the Corporation from time to time may use 
derivative financial instruments to help manage foreign exchange risk with the objective of reducing transaction expo-
sures and the resulting volatility of the Corporation’s earnings. the Corporation does not trade in derivatives for specu-
lative purposes. under these contracts the Corporation is obligated to purchase specified amounts at predetermined 
dates and exchange rates. these contracts are matched with anticipated cash flows in united States dollars.

the  counterparties  to  the  foreign  currency  contracts  are  all  major  financial  institutions  with  high  credit  ratings.  the 
Corporation had no foreign exchange contracts outstanding as at December 31, 2013.

the Corporation does not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or reasonably are likely to have a mate-
rial effect on its financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, 
capital expenditures or capital resources. as a result, the Corporation is not exposed materially to any financing, liquidity, 
market or credit risk that could arise if it had engaged in these arrangements.

A summary of risks and uncertainties facing Magellan

the Corporation’s performance may be affected by a number of risks and uncertainties. Magellan’s senior management 
identifies key risks and has processes in place to help monitor, manage and mitigate these risks. additional risks and un-
certainties not presently known by the Corporation, or that the Corporation does not currently anticipate may be material 
and may impair the Corporation’s performance.

the following risks and uncertainties apply to the Corporation. additional information relating to risks and uncertainties 
are set forth in the Corporation’s annual Information Form on SeDaR at www.sedar.com.

The Corporation faces risks from downturns in the domestic and global economies
potential loss due to unfavourable economic conditions, such as a macroeconomic downturn in key markets, could re-
sult  in  potential  buyers  postponing  the  purchase  of  the  Corporation’s  products  or  services,  lower  order  intake,  order 
cancellations  or  deferral  of  deliveries,  lower  availability  of  customer  financing,  downward  pressure  on  selling  prices, 
increased inventory levels, decreased level of customer advances, slower collection of receivables, reduction in pro-
duction activities, discontinued production of certain products, termination of employees and adverse impacts on the 
Corporation’s suppliers.

the Corporation cannot predict the depth or duration of downturns in the domestic and global economies nor the effects 
on markets that the Corporation serves, particularly the airline industry. the Corporation’s ability to increase or maintain 
its revenues and operating results may be impaired as a result of negative general economic conditions. the recent eco-
nomic uncertainty renders estimates of future revenues and expenditures even more difficult than usual to formulate. the 
future direction of the overall domestic and global economies could have a significant impact on the Corporation’s over-
all financial performance and may impact the value of its Common Shares.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis December 31, 2013Factors that have an adverse impact on the aerospace industry may adversely affect the Corporation’s results of operations.
the majority of the Corporation’s gross profit is derived from the aerospace industry. the Corporation’s aerospace op-
erations are focused on engineering and manufacturing aircraft components on new aircraft, selling spare parts and 
performing repair and overhaul services on existing aircraft and aircraft components. therefore, the Corporation’s busi-
ness is directly affected by economic factors and other trends that affect the Corporation’s customers in the aerospace 
industry, including a possible decrease in outsourcing by aircraft operators and oeM’s, decreased demand for air trav-
el or projected market growth that may not materialize or be sustainable. the price of fuel in the past has increased 
the pressure on the operating margins of aircraft companies which reduces their ability to finance capital expenditures. 
Constraints in the credit market may reduce the ability of airlines and others to purchase new aircraft, negatively affect-
ing the demand for the Corporation’s products. When these economic and other factors adversely affect the aerospace 
industry, they tend to reduce the overall customer demand for the Corporation’s products and services, which decreases 
the Corporation’s operating income. 

economic and other factors both internal and external to the aerospace industry might affect the aerospace industry 
and may have an adverse impact on the Corporation’s results of operations. More specifically, a number of additional ex-
ternal risk factors may include the financial condition of the airline industry, commercial aerospace customers and gov-
ernment aerospace customers; government policies related to import and export restrictions and business acquisition; 
changing priorities and possible spending cuts by government agencies; government support for export sales; world 
trade policies; increased competition from other businesses, including new entrants in market segments in which we 
compete. In addition, acts of terrorism, natural disasters, global health risks, political instability or the outbreak of war or 
continued hostilities in certain regions of the world could result in lower orders or the rescheduling or cancellation of part 
of the existing order backlog for some of the Corporation’s products.

Cancellations, reductions or delays in customer orders may adversely affect the Corporation’s results of operations.
the Corporation’s overall operating results are affected by many factors, including the timing of orders from large cus-
tomers and the timing of expenditures to manufacture parts and purchase inventory in anticipation of future sales of 
products and services. a large portion of the Corporation’s operating expenses is relatively fixed. Because several of the 
Corporation’s operating locations typically do not obtain long-term purchase orders or commitments from customers, the 
Corporation must anticipate the future volume of orders based upon the historic purchasing patterns of customers and 
upon discussions with customers as to their anticipated future requirements. these historic patterns may be disrupted 
by many factors, including changing economic conditions, inventory adjustments, work stoppages or labour disruptions. 
Cancellations, reductions or delays in orders by a customer or group of customers could have a material adverse effect 
on the Corporation’s business, financial condition and results of operations.

A reduction in defence spending by the United States or other countries could result in a decrease in revenue.
over the last several years, heightened sovereign debt issues in the european union have created instability and volatili-
ty in the international credit and financial markets and have caused a number of countries in the european union to focus 
on their respective recurring yearly deficit budgeting practices, resultant aggregate debt levels and to implement auster-
ity measures.  likewise concerns about the national debt issue in the united States and actions taken by the government 
of the united States has led to reductions in spending, including defence spending. the united States defence budget 
for 2014 has reduced spending by 15% over the previous year resulting in the elimination and/or reduction in some new 
defence programs. In addition, the governments in Canada and other countries have recognized the need to reduce 
budget deficits.

17   Magellan 2013 annual RepoR t

Management’s Discussion and Analysis December 31, 2013the united States is the principal purchaser under the F-35 program which represents a significant item in their budget. 
Canada is also a participant in the F-35 program and has invested in an advanced Composite Manufacturing Facility at 
Magellan’s Winnipeg facility, primarily in support of the F-35 program. the Canadian government has also announced 
plans to consider other options for replacing its aging CF-18 fighter jets. In addition, other countries who are part of 
the F-35 program have announced plans to delay orders for the F-35 aircraft. this is somewhat balanced by recent an-
nouncements of new foreign military sales.

the Corporation relies on sales to defence customers particularly in the united States. a significant reduction in defence 
expenditures by the united States or other countries with which the Corporation has material contracts, such as the F-35 
program,  could  materially  adversely  affect  the  Corporation’s  business  and  financial  condition.  the  loss  or  significant 
reduction in government funding of a large program in which the Corporation participates, such as the F-35 program, 
could also materially adversely affect sales and earnings.

The Corporation may be unable to successfully achieve “key supplier” status with OEM’s, and may be required to risk 
capital to achieve key supplier status.
Many oeM’s are moving toward developing strategic partnerships with their key suppliers. each key supplier provides 
an array of integrated services including purchasing, warehousing and assembly for oeM customers. the Corporation 
has been designated as a key supplier by some oeM’s and is striving to achieve a higher level of integrated supply with 
other oeM’s. In order to achieve key status, the Corporation may need to expand the Corporation’s existing capacities or 
capabilities, and there is no assurance that the Corporation will be able to do so.

Many new aircraft and aircraft engine programs require that major suppliers become risk-sharing partners, meaning that 
the cost of design, development and engineering work associated with the development of the aircraft or the aircraft en-
gine is partially born by the supplier, usually in exchange for a life-time agreement to supply those critical parts once the 
aircraft or the aircraft engine is in production. In the event that the aircraft or the aircraft engine fails to reach the produc-
tion stage, inadequate number of units is produced, or actual sales otherwise do not meet projections, the Corporation 
may incur significant costs without any corresponding revenues.

11. criticAl AccOunting eStimA teS
A description of accounting estimates that are critical to determining Magellan’s financial results

the preparation of financial statements requires management to make critical judgements, estimates and assump-
tions that affect the reported amounts of certain assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the 
reported amount of revenues and expenses recorded during the reporting period. the critical estimates and judge-
ments utilized in preparing the Corporation’s financial statements affect the assessment of net recoverable amounts, 
net realizable values and fair values, depreciation and amortization rates and useful lives, value of intangible assets, 
ability  to  utilize  tax  losses  and  other  tax  measurements,  determination  of  functional  currency,  determination  of  the 
degree of control that exists in determining the corresponding accounting basis, and the selection of accounting poli-
cies. any changes in estimates and assumptions could have a material impact on the Corporation’s future earnings 
and/or the amounts reported in its statement of financial position. the Corporation reviews its estimates and assump-
tions on an ongoing basis and uses the most current information available and exercises careful judgement in making 
these estimates and assumptions.

the main assumptions and estimates that were used in preparing the Corporation’s consolidated financial statements relate to:

Financial instruments
the valuation of the Corporation’s derivative instruments and certain other financial instruments requires estimation of 
the fair value of each instrument at the reporting date. Details of the basis on which fair value estimated are provided 
in note 18 of the consolidated financial statements.

18   Magellan 2013 annual RepoR t

Management’s Discussion and Analysis December 31, 2013Impairments
the recoverable amount of intangible assets and property, plant and equipment is based on estimates and assumptions 
regarding the expected market outlook and cash flows from each cash-generating unit. 

Deferred taxes
Income taxes are determined based on estimates of the Corporation’s current income taxes and estimates of deferred in-
come taxes resulting from temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are assessed to determine the likelihood that they 
will be realized from future taxable income before they expire.

Government assistance
Investment tax credits and scientific research and experimental development tax credits are determined based on esti-
mates of the Corporation’s current year expenditures on qualifying programs. the investment tax credits are assessed to 
determine the likelihood that they will be applied against federal income tax.

Capitalization of development costs
When capitalizing development costs the Corporation must assess the technical and commercial feasibility of the proj-
ects and estimate the useful lives of resulting products. Determining whether future economic benefits will flow from the 
assets and therefore the estimates and assumptions associated with these calculations are instrumental in (i) deciding 
whether project costs can be capitalized, and (ii) accurately calculating the useful life of the projects for the Corporation.

Income (loss) on completion of contracts accounted for under the percentage-of-completion method
to estimate income (loss) on completion, the Corporation takes into account factors inherent to the contract by using 
historical and/or forecast data. When total contract costs are likely to exceed total contract revenue, the expected loss is 
recognized within cost of revenues.

Repayable government grants
the forecast repayment of grants received from government authorities is based on income from future sales. as the 
forecast repayments are closely related to forecasts of future sales set out in business plans prepared by the operat-
ing divisions, the estimates and assumptions (as regards programs and fluctuations in exchange rates, particularly the 
united States dollar) underlying these business plans are instrumental in determining the timing of these repayments.

Employee benefits
the Corporation considers a number of factors in developing the pension assumptions, including an evaluation of rel-
evant  discount  rates,  plan  asset  allocations,  mortality,  expected  changes  in  wages  and  retirement  benefits,  analysis 
of current market conditions, economic benefits available and input from actuaries and other consultants. Costs of the 
programs are based on actuarially determined amounts and are accrued over the period from the date of hire to the full 
eligibility date of employees who are expected to qualify for these benefits.

12. chAngeS in AccOunting pOlicieS
A description of accounting standards adopted in the current year

Financial Assets and Liabilities
In  December  2011,  the  International  accounting  Standards  Board  (“IaSB”)  published  amendments  to  IFRS  7, Financial 
Instruments: Disclosures (“IFRS 7”) which require additional disclosure requirements for financial assets and liabilities that 
are offset in the statement of financial position or subject to master netting arrangements or similar arrangements. the new 
disclosures will require entities to disclose gross amounts subject to rights of set off, amounts set off, and the related net credit 
exposure. the disclosures are intended to help investors understand the effect or potential effect of offsetting arrangements 
on a company’s financial position. the new disclosures are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013. 
as the Corporation is not offsetting financial instruments and does not have relevant offsetting arrangements, the retrospective 
adoption of these amendments to IFRS 7 did not have any impact on the disclosures of the Corporation.

19   Magellan 2013 annual RepoR t

Management’s Discussion and Analysis December 31, 2013Consolidated Financial Statements
In May 2011, the IaSB issued IFRS 10, Consolidated Financial Statements (“IFRS 10”). IFRS 10 replaced portions of 
IaS  27,  Consolidated  and  Separate  Financial  Statements,  that  addressed  consolidation,  and  superseded  SIC-12, 
Consolidation – Special Purpose Entities (“Spe”), in its entirety. IFRS 10 provides a single model to be applied in the 
analysis of control of all investees, including entities that currently are Spes in the scope of SIC-12. an investor must pos-
sess the following three elements to conclude if it controls an investee: power over the investee’s financial and operating 
decisions, exposure or rights to variable returns from involvement with the investee, and the ability to use power over the 
investee and its exposure or rights to variable returns.

the adoption of IFRS 10 had no impact on the consolidated financial statements for the period or prior periods presented 
as the adoption did not result in a change in the consolidation status of any of the Corporation’s subsidiaries or investees 
or the identification of any subsidiaries.

Joint Arrangements
In May 2011, the IaSB issued IFRS 11, Joint Arrangements (“IFRS 11”). IFRS 11 supersedes IaS 31, Interest in Joint 
Ventures and SIC-13, Jointly Controlled Entities – Non-Monetary Contributions. through an assessment of the rights and 
obligations in an arrangement, IFRS 11 establishes principles to determine the type of joint arrangement, which are clas-
sified as either joint operations or joint ventures, and provides guidance for financial reporting activities required by the 
entities that have an interest in arrangements that are controlled jointly.

In a joint operation, the parties to the joint arrangement have rights to the assets and obligations for the liabilities of 
the arrangement, and recognize their share of the assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses in accordance with ap-
plicable IFRS. In a joint venture, the parties to the arrangement have rights to the net assets of the arrangement and 
account for their interest using the equity method of accounting under IaS 28, Investments in Associates and Joint 
Ventures (“IaS 28”). IaS 28 prescribes the accounting for investments in associates and sets out the requirements for 
the application of the equity method when accounting for investments in associates and joint ventures.

the Corporation has concluded that its joint arrangements are joint ventures under IFRS 11 and, accordingly, has re-
corded its investments using the equity method of accounting whereas prior to adoption of IFRS 11, the proportionate 
consolidation method was used. the Corporation has applied the new policy retrospectively in accordance with the tran-
sitional provisions of IFRS 11 and recognized the deemed cost of its investments in joint ventures at January 1, 2012, as 
the net of the carrying amounts of the assets and liabilities previously proportionately consolidated by the Corporation. 
under the equity method, the Corporation’s share of individual assets and liabilities are replaced with a net investment in 
joint ventures amount in the consolidated balance sheet and individual revenues and expenses are replaced with earn-
ings from investment in joint ventures amount in the consolidated statement of income. More information on the impact of 
the adoption of IFRS 11 is provided in note 2 of the consolidated financial statements.

Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities
In May 2011, the IaSB issued IFRS 12, Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities (“IFRS 12”), which contains disclosure 
requirements for interests in other entities, such as subsidiaries, joint arrangements, associates, special purpose ve-
hicles and off balance sheet vehicles. the standard carries forward existing disclosures and also introduces signifi-
cant additional disclosure requirements that address the nature of, and risks associated with, an entity’s interests in 
other entities. the requirements of IFRS 12 relate to disclosures only and are applicable for the first annual period after 
adoption, and, accordingly, the additional disclosures about interests in other entities have been included in the con-
solidated financial statements.

the Corporation’s subsidiaries are all wholly owned and as such the determination of whether to consolidate these enti-
ties or the identification of any subsidiaries did not involve any significant judgments or assumptions. there are no signifi-
cant restrictions on the ability of the Corporation to access or use the assets, and settle the liabilities of the Corporation 
and its subsidiaries except for customary limitations in the Corporation’s credit facility.

20   Magellan 2013 annual RepoR t

Management’s Discussion and Analysis December 31, 2013Fair Value Measurement
In May 2011, the IaSB published IFRS 13, Fair Value Measurement (“IFRS 13”), which is effective prospectively for an-
nual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013. IFRS 13 replaces the fair value measurement guidance contained in 
individual IFRSs with a single source of fair value measurement guidance. the standard also establishes a framework for 
measuring fair value and sets out additional disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. the standard did not 
have a material measurement impact on the consolidated financial statements.

Presentation of Financial Statements
In June 2011, the IaSB published amendments to IaS 1, Presentation of Financial Statements: Presentation of Items of 
Other Comprehensive Income, which are effective for annual periods beginning on or after July 1, 2012 and are to be ap-
plied retrospectively. these amendments require that a Corporation present separately the items of other comprehensive 
income that may be reclassified to profit or loss in the future from those that would never be reclassified to profit or loss. 
the Corporation has adopted the presentation amendments in its 2013 consolidated financial statements.

Employee Benefits
In  June  2011,  the  IaSB  published  an  amended  version  of  IaS  19,  Employee  Benefits  (“IaS  19”).  adoption  of  the 
amendment is required for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013. IaS 19 was amended to eliminate 
the ‘corridor approach’ previously permitted and accelerate the recognition of past service costs. as part of its transi-
tion to IFRS, the Corporation elected to present remeasurements in other comprehensive income. the Corporation re-
placed interest costs on the defined benefit obligation and the expected return on plan assets with a net interest cost 
based on the net defined benefit asset or liability measured by applying the same discount rate used to measure the 
defined benefit obligation at the beginning of the annual period. Interest expense or interest income on net post-em-
ployment benefit liabilities and assets continue to be recognized in net income. IaS 19 requires termination benefits 
to be recognized at the earlier of when the entity can no longer withdraw an offer of termination benefits or recognizes 
any restructuring costs.

the amended version of IaS 19 was adopted with retrospective application and, accordingly, the comparative periods 
presented have been adjusted to reflect the reversal of any unamortized past service costs and the application of one 
discount rate to the net defined benefit asset or liability to determine the interest element of the defined benefit cost. 
More information on the impact of the adoption of IaS 19 is provided in note 2 of the consolidated financial statements.

13. future chAngeS in AccOunting pOlicieS
A description of new accounting standards and interpretations not yet adopted

a number of new standards, and amendments to standards and interpretations, are not yet effective for the year ended 
December 31, 2013, and have not been applied in preparing these consolidated financial statements. the following 
standards and interpretations have been issued by the International accounting Standards Board and the International 
Financial Reporting Interpretations Committees with effective dates relating to the annual accounting periods starting on 
or after the effective dates as follows:

Financial Instruments – Recognition and Measurement
In october 2010, the IaSB published amendments to IFRS 9, Financial Instruments (“IFRS 9”) which provides add-
ed guidance on the classification and measurement of financial liabilities. IFRS 9 will replace IaS 39 and will be 
completed in three phases: classification and measurement of financial assets and liabilities, impairment of finan-
cial assets, and general hedge accounting. this was the first phase of the project on classification and measure-
ment of financial assets and liabilities. the IaSB is discussing proposed limited amendments related to this phase 
of the project. the standard on general hedge accounting was issued and included as part of IFRS 9 in november 
2013. the accounting for macro hedging is expected to be issued as a separate standard outside of IFRS 9. the 
impairment  of  financial  assets  phase  of  the  project  is  currently  in  development.  In november  2013,  the  manda-
tory effective date of IFRS 9 of January 1, 2015 was removed and the effective date will be determined when the 

21   Magellan 2013 annual RepoR t

Management’s Discussion and Analysis December 31, 2013remaining phases of IFRS 9 are finalized. the Corporation is currently monitoring the developments of this standard 
and assessing the impact that the adoption of this standard may have on the consolidated financial statements.

Financial Assets and Liabilities
In December 2011, amendments to IaS 32, Financial Instruments: Presentation were issued to clarify the existing re-
quirements for offsetting financial assets and financial liabilities. the amendments are effective for annual periods begin-
ning on or after January 1, 2014. the Corporation does not expect the adoption of these amendments to have a material 
impact on the consolidated financial statements.

Levies
In May 2013, International Financial Reporting Standards Interpretations Committee Interpretation 21, Levies (“IFRIC 21”) 
was issued. IFRIC 21 addresses various accounting issues relating to levies imposed by a government. this interpretation 
is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2014. the Corporation is currently assessing the impact the 
adoption of this interpretation may have on the consolidated financial statements.

Employee Benefits
In november 2013, Defined Benefit plans: employee Contributions was issued to amend IaS 19, Employee Benefits. 
these narrow scope amendments simplify the accounting for contributions to defined benefit plans. these amendments 
are effective for annual periods beginning on or after July 1, 2014, with earlier application permitted. the Corporation is 
currently assessing the impact the adoption of this standard may have on the consolidated financial statements

Impairment of Assets
In May 29, 2013, the IaSB published amendments to IaS 36, Impairment of Assets which reduce the circumstances in 
which the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit is required to be disclosed and clarify the disclosures required 
when an impairment loss has been recognized or reversed in the period. this amendment is effective for annual periods 
beginning on or after January 1, 2014. the Corporation does not expect the adoption of this amendment to have a mate-
rial impact on its consolidated financial statements.

14. cOntrOlS And prOcedureS
A description of Magellan’s disclosure controls and internal controls over financial reporting

Based on the current Canadian Securities administrators (the “CSa”) rules under national Instrument 52-109 Certification 
of Disclosure in Issuers’ annual and Interim Filings, the Chief executive officer and Chief Financial officer are required to 
certify as at December 31, 2013 that they are responsible for establishing and maintaining, and have assessed the design 
and operating effectiveness of disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting.

Management does not expect disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting to prevent 
all errors, misstatements or fraud. In addition, internal control over financial reporting that management has designed 
and established may be circumvented and rendered ineffective as a result of unauthorized acts of individuals through 
collusion or management override. a system of control, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only 
reasonable, but not absolute, assurance that control objectives are met. Due to the inherent limitations in a system of 
control, there is no absolute assurance that all controls issues, which may result in errors, misstatements, or fraud, can 
be prevented or detected. the inherent limitations include, amongst other things: (i) management’s assumptions and 
judgments could ultimately prove to be incorrect under varying conditions and circumstances; (ii) the impact of isolated 
errors; (iii) assumptions about the likelihood of future events.

In preparation for this certification, Magellan has dedicated resources in place to document and evaluate the design 
and operating effectiveness of disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting. as of 
December 31, 2013, an evaluation was carried out, under the supervision of the president and Chief executive officer 
and the Chief Financial officer and Corporate Secretary, of the effectiveness of the Corporation’s disclosure controls and 

22   Magellan 2013 annual RepoR t

Management’s Discussion and Analysis December 31, 2013internal controls over financial reporting, as those terms are defined in national Instrument 52-109. Based on that evalu-
ation, the Corporation’s management concluded that the Corporation’s design and operating disclosure controls and 
procedures and internal control over financial reporting were effective as of December 31, 2013.

no changes were made in the Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting during the Corporation’s most recent 
interim period, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Corporation’s internal control 
over financial reporting.

To the Shareholders of Magellan Aerospace Corporation
We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Magellan aerospace Corporation, which com-
prise the consolidated statements of financial position as at December 31, 2013 and 2012, and January 1, 2012, and the 
consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the years ended 
December 31, 2013 and 2012, and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.

Management’s Responsibility for the Consolidated Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these consolidated financial statements in ac-
cordance with International Financial Reporting Standards, and for such internal control as management determines 
is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, 
whether due to fraud or error.

Auditors’ Responsibility
our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.  We con-
ducted our audits in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards.  those standards require that 
we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the 
consolidated financial statements are free from material misstatement.  

an audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the consoli-
dated financial statements.  the procedures selected depend on the auditors’ judgment, including the assessment of 
the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error.  In making 
those risk assessments, the auditors consider internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of 
the consolidated financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but 
not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control.  an audit also includes 
evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by 
management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained in our audits is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our 
audit opinion.

Opinion
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Ma-
gellan aerospace Corporation as at December 31, 2013 and 2012, and January 1, 2012 and its financial performance 
and its cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 in accordance with International Financial Report-
ing Standards.

1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Description of Business
Magellan aerospace Corporation (the “Corporation” or “Magellan”) is a publicly listed company incorporated in ontario, 
Canada under the ontario Business Corporations act and its shares are listed on the toronto Stock exchange. the reg-
istered and head office of the Corporation is located at 3160 Derry Road east, Mississauga, ontario, Canada, l4t 1a9.

the Corporation is a diversified supplier of components to the aerospace industry and in certain circumstances for 
power generation projects. through its wholly owned subsidiaries, Magellan engineers and manufactures aeroengine 
and aerostructure components for aerospace markets, including advanced products for defence and space markets, 
and complementary specialty products. the Corporation also supports the aftermarket through the supply of spare 
parts as well as through repair and overhaul services and in certain circumstances parts and equipment for power 
generation projects.

Statement of Compliance
these consolidated financial statements are prepared under International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as 
issued by the International accounting Standards Board (“IaSB”).

these consolidated financial statements were authorized for issuance by the Board of Directors of the Corporation 
on March 21, 2014.

Basis of Presentation
the consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except for certain financial in-
struments, which are measured at fair value. these consolidated financial statements have been prepared using IFRS 
principles applicable to a going concern, which contemplate the realization of assets and settlement of liabilities in the 
normal course of business as they come due. all amounts are presented in Canadian dollars, unless otherwise indicated.

the  Corporation’s  significant  accounting  policies  are  set  out  below.  these  accounting  policies  have  been  applied 
consistently to all periods presented in these consolidated financial statements and by all entities.

Basis of Consolidation
the consolidated financial statements of the Corporation include the assets and liabilities, and the results of operations 
and cash flows, of the Corporation and its subsidiaries and the Corporation’s share of the results and net assets of jointly 
controlled entities. the financial statements of entities consolidated have a reporting date of December 31. entities over 
which the Corporation has control are accounted for as subsidiaries. Control is achieved when the Corporation is ex-
posed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns 
through its power over the entity. Where the Corporation has the ability to exercise joint control, the entities are accounted 
for as jointly controlled entities. the results and assets and liabilities of jointly controlled entities are incorporated into the 
consolidated financial statements using the equity method of accounting. Interests acquired in entities are consolidated 
from  the  date  the  Corporation  acquires  control  and  interests  sold  are  de-consolidated  from  the  date  control  ceases. 
Wholly owned operating subsidiaries of the Corporation are:
–  Magellan aerospace limited
–  Magellan aerospace (uK) limited
–  Magellan aerospace uSa, Inc.

the effects of intragroup transactions are eliminated. accounts receivable and accounts payable as well as expenses 
and income between the consolidated entities are netted. Internal sales are transacted on the basis of market prices and 
intergroup profits and losses are eliminated.

30   Magellan 2013 annual RepoR t

Determination of Fair Value
Fair value is determined based on the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an or-
derly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Fair value is measured using the assumptions 
that market participants would use when pricing an asset or liability. Fair value is determined by using quoted prices in 
active markets for identical or similar assets or liabilities. When quoted prices in active markets are not available, fair 
value is determined using valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs.

When observable valuation inputs are not available, significant judgment is required to determine fair value by assessing 
the valuation techniques and valuation inputs. the use of alternative valuation techniques or valuation inputs may result 
in a different fair value.

Foreign Currency Translation
the consolidated financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars, which is the Corporation’s functional and 
presentation currency.

Foreign currency denominated monetary assets and liabilities are translated at the rates of exchange at the statement 
of financial position date. Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange 
rates prevailing at that date, whereas non-monetary items measured at historic cost, are translated using the exchange 
rate prevailing on the transaction date. translation gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions 
and from the translation of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognized in income.

assets and liabilities of foreign operations that have a functional currency different from the presentation currency are 
translated using the closing exchange rate prevailing at the reporting date and revenues and expenses at average ex-
change rates during the period. translation gains and losses on currency translation are recognized as a separate com-
ponent of equity in other comprehensive income and do not have any impact on the net income (loss) for the year.

Segment Reporting
Management has determined the operating segments based on information regularly reviewed for the purposes of deci-
sion making, allocating resources and assessing performance by the Corporation’s chief operating decision maker. the 
Corporation evaluates the financial performance of its operating segments primarily based on net income before interest 
and income taxes.

Revenue Recognition
Revenue is comprised of all sales of goods and rendering of services at the fair value of consideration received or re-
ceivable after the deduction of any trade discounts and excluding sales taxes. the Corporation’s revenue recognition 
methodology is determined on a contract-by-contract basis. Revenue is recognized when it can be measured reliably, 
the significant risks and rewards of ownership are transferred to the customer, and it is probable that future economic 
benefits will flow to the Corporation.

Sales of goods are recognized when the goods are dispatched or made available to the customer, except for the sale of consign-
ment products located at customers’ premises where revenue is recognized on notification that the product has been used.

31   Magellan 2013 annual RepoR t

Notes To Consolidated Financial Statements (unless otherwise stated, all amounts are in thousands of Canadian dollars)Rendering of services and on certain long-term contracts for the sale of goods revenue is recognized using the per-
centage-of-completion method, which recognizes revenue as performance of the contract progresses. the contract 
progress is determined based on the percentage of costs incurred to date to total estimated cost for each contract 
after giving effect to the most recent estimates of total cost. Variations in contract work, claims and incentive payments 
are  included  to  the  extent  that  they  have  been  agreed  with  the  customer.  provided  that  the  outcome  of  construc-
tion contracts can be assessed with reasonable certainty, the revenues and costs on such contracts are recognized 
based on stage of completion and the overall contract profitability. If the outcome of a contract cannot be estimated 
reliably,  the  zero-profit  method  is  applied,  whereby  revenues  are  only  recognized  to  the  extent  that  contract  costs 
have been incurred and it is probable that those costs will be recovered.

Where it is probable that total contract costs will exceed total contract revenue, the expected loss is recognized as 
an expense immediately.

the Corporation enters into transactions that represent multiple-element arrangements. these multiple-element arrange-
ments are assessed to determine whether they can be separated into more than one unit of accounting or element for 
the purpose of revenue recognition. When the appropriate criteria for separating revenue into more than one unit of ac-
counting is met and there is vendor specific objective evidence of fair value for all units of accounting or elements in an 
arrangement, the arrangement consideration is allocated to the separate units of accounting or elements based on each 
unit’s relative fair value. this vendor specific objective evidence of fair value is established through prices charged for 
each revenue element when that element is sold separately. the revenue recognition policies described above are then 
applied to each unit of accounting.

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.

Cost of Revenues
Cost of revenues consists of production-related manufacturing costs of products sold, development services paid, and 
the cost of products purchased for resale. In addition to the direct material cost and production costs, it also comprises 
of systematically allocated overheads, including depreciation of production-related intangible assets, write-downs on 
inventories and an appropriate portion of production-related administrative overheads.

Government Grants
government grants are recognized at their fair value in the period when there is reasonable assurance that the condi-
tions attaching to the grant will be met and that the grant will be received. grants are recognized as income over the peri-
ods necessary to match them with the related costs that they are intended to compensate. grants relating to expenditure 
on property, plant and equipment and on intangible assets are deducted from the carrying amount of the asset. the 
grant is therefore recognized as income over the life of the depreciable asset by way of a reduced depreciation charge. 
Repayable grants are treated as sources of financing and are recognized in borrowings subject to specific conditions in 
the consolidated statement of financial position. Repayments made are recorded as a reduction of the liability. a revision 
to the estimate of amounts to be repaid results in an increase or decrease in the liability and the related asset or expense, 
and a cumulative adjustment to amortization is recognized immediately in income.

Government Assistance
government assistance is comprised of investment tax credits and scientific research and experimental development 
tax credits. these credits are recognized when there is reasonable assurance of their recovery using the cost reduction 
method. Investment tax credits are subject to the customary approvals by the pertinent tax authorities. adjustments re-
quired, if any, are reflected in the year when such assessments are received.

32   Magellan 2013 annual RepoR t

Notes To Consolidated Financial Statements (unless otherwise stated, all amounts are in thousands of Canadian dollars)Employee Benefits
Defined benefit plans
the Corporation’s obligation in respect of defined benefit plans is determined periodically by independent actuaries using the 
projected unit credit method in accordance with IaS 19R, Employee Benefits. actuarial gains and losses are recognized in full 
in the period in which they occur, and are recognized in retained earnings and included in other comprehensive income. past 
service cost is recognized immediately to the extent the benefits are already vested, or otherwise is recognized on a straight-
line basis over the average period until the benefits become vested. Curtailments due to the significant reduction of the ex-
pected years of future services of current employees or the elimination of the accrual of defined benefits for some or all of the 
future services for a significant number of employees are recognized immediately as a gain or loss in the income statement.

the defined benefit surplus or deficit represents the fair value of the plan assets less the present value of the defined 
benefit obligations. a surplus is recognized in the statement of financial position to the extent that the Corporation has an 
unconditional right to the surplus, either through a refund or reduction in future contributions. a deficit is recognized in full.

Defined contribution plans
obligations for contributions to defined contribution plans are recognized as an expense in the income statement as incurred.

Share-based compensation
the fair value of awards made under share-based compensation plans is measured at the grant date and allocated over 
the vesting period, based on the best available estimate of the number of share options expected to vest, in the income 
statement with a corresponding increase in equity. the fair value is measured using an appropriate valuation model tak-
ing into account the terms and conditions of the individual plans. the amount recognized as an expense is adjusted to 
reflect the actual awards vesting except where any change in the awards vesting relates only to market-based criteria 
not being achieved.

the cost of cash-settled transactions is measured initially at fair value at the grant date using a binomial model, taking 
into account the terms and conditions upon which the share awards were granted. this fair value is expensed over the 
period until the vesting date with recognition of a corresponding liability. the liability is remeasured to fair value at each 
reporting date up to and including the settlement date, with changes in fair value recognized in the income statement.

Taxation
the tax charge for the period is comprised of both current and deferred income tax. taxation is recognized as a charge 
or credit in the income statement except to the extent that it relates to items recognized directly to equity in which case 
the related tax is also recognized in equity.

Current income tax is the expected tax payable on the taxable income for the year and any adjustment to tax payable in 
respect of previous years.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are established using the balance sheet liability method, providing for temporary differ-
ences between the carrying amounts of the assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used 
for taxation purposes. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognized for all taxable temporary differences and deferred 
tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which deductible 
timing differences can be utilized.

Deferred  tax  liabilities  are  not  recognized  for  temporary  differences  arising  on  investment  in  subsidiaries  where  the 
Corporation is able to control the reversal of the temporary difference and it is probable that the temporary difference will 
not reverse in the foreseeable future. Deferred income tax is calculated at the enacted or substantively enacted tax rates 
that are expected to apply in the period when the liability is settled or the asset is realized.

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are only offset where they arise within the same entity and tax jurisdiction.

33   Magellan 2013 annual RepoR t

Notes To Consolidated Financial Statements (unless otherwise stated, all amounts are in thousands of Canadian dollars)Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are presented as non-current.

Net Income per Share
net income per share is calculated based on the profit for the financial year and the weighted average number of com-
mon shares outstanding during the year. Diluted net income per share is calculated using the profit for the financial year 
and the weighted average diluted number of shares (ignoring any potential issue of common shares which would be 
anti-dilutive) during the year.

Inventories
Inventory is stated at the lower of average cost and net realizable value.

the unit cost method is the prescribed cost method under which the actual production costs are charged to each unit 
produced and recognized to income as the unit is sold.

net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less estimated costs of completion 
and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale. Inventories are written down to net realizable value when the cost 
of inventories is estimated to be unrecoverable due to obsolescence, damage or declining selling prices. When circum-
stances that previously caused inventories to be written down below cost no longer exist, the amount of the write-down 
previously recorded is reversed.

Property, Plant and Equipment
property,  plant  and  equipment  are  stated  at  cost,  less  accumulated  depreciation  and  any  impairment  in  value.  Cost 
includes the purchase price (after deducting trade discounts and rebates), any directly attributable costs of bringing 
the asset to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by manage-
ment, and the estimate of the present value of the costs of dismantling and removing the item and restoring the site. 
Subsequent costs are included in the assets carrying amount or recognized as a separate asset, as appropriate, only 
when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Corporation and the cost of the 
item can be measured reliably. the carrying amount of the replaced part is de-recognized. the cost of the day-to-day 
servicing of property, plant and equipment are recognized in the income statement as incurred.

Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method to allocate the cost of property, plant and equipment to their 
residual values over their estimated useful lives.

Scheduled depreciation is based on the following useful lives:

assets
Buildings
Machinery and equipment
tooling
leasehold improvements

in years
40
10-20
5-7

term of lease

the residual values, useful lives and depreciation methods pertaining to property, plant and equipment are regularly as-
sessed for relevance, at least at every statement of financial position date, and adjustments are made when necessary 
to estimates used when compiling the consolidated financial statements. an asset’s carrying value is written down to its 
recoverable amount if the asset’s carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount. these impairment 
losses are recognized in the income statement. Following the recognition of an impairment loss, the depreciation charge 
applicable to the asset is adjusted prospectively in order to systematically allocate the revised carrying amount, net of 
any residual value, over the remaining useful life.

34   Magellan 2013 annual RepoR t

Notes To Consolidated Financial Statements (unless otherwise stated, all amounts are in thousands of Canadian dollars)Investment Properties
Investment property is property held to earn rental income and/or for capital appreciation rather than for the purpose 
of the Corporation’s operating activities. Investment property assets are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation 
and any recognized impairment in value. the depreciation policies for investment property are consistent with those de-
scribed for owner-occupied property.

Intangible Assets
In accordance with IaS 38, Intangible Assets, expenditure on research activities is recognized as an expense in the 
period in which it is incurred. externally acquired and internally generated intangible assets are recognized only if they 
meet strict criteria, relating in particular to technical feasibility, probability that a future economic benefit associated with 
the asset will flow to the entity and the cost of the asset can be measured reliably.

Intangible assets with a finite useful life are stated at cost and amortized on a unit of production basis. gains or losses 
arising from de-recognition of an intangible asset are measured as the difference between the net disposal proceeds 
and the carrying amount of the asset, and are recognized in the income statement when the asset is de-recognized.

Impairment of Non-Financial Assets
Impairment of non-financial assets is considered in accordance with IaS 36, Impairment of Assets. Where the asset does 
not generate cash inflows that are independent of other assets, impairment is considered for the cash-generating unit 
(“Cgu”) to which the asset belongs.

two types of Cgus are defined within the Corporation:
–  Cgus corresponding to programs, projects, or product families associated with specific assets;
–    Cgus corresponding to the business units monitored by management and relating chiefly to the Corporation’s  

main subsidiaries.

Intangible assets not yet available for use are tested for impairment annually. other intangible assets and property, plant 
and equipment are assessed for any indications of impairment annually. If any indication of impairment is identified, an 
impairment test is performed to estimate the recoverable amount.

an impairment loss is recognized in the income statement whenever the carrying amount of the individual asset or the 
Cgu exceeds its recoverable amount. Recoverable amount is the higher of value in use or fair value less costs to sell, 
if this is readily available. the value in use is the present value of future cash flows using a pre-tax discount rate that re-
flects the time value of money and the risk specific to the asset.

an impairment loss for an individual asset or Cgu shall be reversed if there has been a change in estimates used to de-
termine the recoverable amount since the last impairment loss was recognized and is only reversed 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.

Leases
a lease is defined as an agreement whereby the lessor conveys to the lessee, in return for payment or a series of pay-
ments, the right to use a specific asset for an agreed period of time. If substantially all the risks and rewards associated 
with ownership of the leased asset are transferred to the lessee (finance lease for the lessee), the leased asset is recog-
nized in the lessee’s statement of financial position. the leased asset is recognized at its fair value as measured at the 
date of acquisition, or at the present value of the minimum lease payments if lower. assets held under finance leases are 
depreciated on a basis consistent with similar owned assets or the lease term if shorter. payments made under finance 
leases are apportioned between capital repayments and interest expense charged to the income statement.

35   Magellan 2013 annual RepoR t

Notes To Consolidated Financial Statements (unless otherwise stated, all amounts are in thousands of Canadian dollars)If the lessor retains the substantial risks and rewards (operating lease for the lessee), the leased asset is recognized in 
the lessor’s statement of financial position. payments made under operating leases are recognized in the income state-
ment on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.

Financial Instruments
Financial assets
Financial assets include, in particular, cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, loans and other receivables, financial 
investments held to maturity, and non-derivative and derivative financial assets held for trading.

Financial  assets  are  recognized  at  the  contract  date  and  initially  measured  in  accordance  with  IaS  39,  Financial 
Instruments: Recognition and Measurement. the measurement of financial assets subsequent to initial recognition de-
pends on whether the financial instrument is held for trading, held to maturity, available-for-sale, or whether it falls in the 
loans and receivables category. the assignment of an asset to a measurement category is performed at the time of ac-
quisition and is primarily determined by the purpose for which the financial asset is held.

Held for trading instruments are held at fair value. Changes in fair value are included in the income statement unless the 
instrument is included in a cash flow hedge. If the instruments are included in a cash flow hedging relationships, which 
are effective, changes in value are taken to equity. When the hedged forecast transaction occurs, amounts previously 
recorded in equity are recognized in the income statement.

Held to maturity instruments are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method.

available-for-sale assets are held at fair value. Changes in fair value arising from changes in exchange rates are includ-
ed in the income statement. all other changes in fair value are taken to equity. on disposal, the accumulated changes in 
value recorded in equity are included in the gain or loss recorded in the income statement.

loans and receivables are held at amortized cost and not revalued (except for changes in exchange rates which are 
included in the income statement) unless they are included in a fair value hedge accounting relationship. Where such a 
relationship exists, the instruments are revalued in respect of the risk being hedged. If instruments held at amortized cost 
are hedged, generally by interest rate swaps, and the hedges are effective, the carrying values are adjusted for changes 
in fair value, which are included in the income statement.

at each statement of financial position date, the carrying amounts of financial assets that are not measured at fair value 
through  profit  or  loss  are  assessed  to  determine  whether  there  is  any  substantial  objective  indication  of  impairment. 
the amount of impairment loss is recognized in the income statement. If impairment is indicated for available-for-sale 
financial assets, the amounts previously recognized in equity are eliminated from other comprehensive income up to the 
amount of the assessed impairment loss and recognized in the income statement.

Derecognition of financial assets
transfers of receivables in securitization transactions are recognized as sales when the contractual right to receive cash 
flows from the assets has expired; or when the Corporation has transferred its contractual right to receive the cash flows 
of  the  financial  assets,  and  either:  substantially  all  the  risks  and  rewards  of  ownership  have  been  transferred;  or  the 
Corporation has neither retained nor transferred substantially all the risks and rewards, but has not retained control.

Financial liabilities
Financial liabilities often entitle the holder to return the instrument to the issuer in return for cash or another financial 
asset. these include, in particular, debentures and other debt evidenced by certificates, trade payables, liabilities to 
banks, finance lease liabilities, loans and derivative financial liabilities.

Financial liabilities  are  measured  at  their  fair value at the time of acquisition, which is normally equivalent to the net loan 

36   Magellan 2013 annual RepoR t

Notes To Consolidated Financial Statements (unless otherwise stated, all amounts are in thousands of Canadian dollars)proceeds. transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition are deducted from the amount of all financial liabilities that 
are not measured at fair value through profit or loss subsequent to initial recognition. If a financial liability is interest free or 
bears interest at below the market rate, it is recognized at an amount below the settlement price or nominal value. the financial 
liability initially recognized at fair value is amortized subsequent to initial recognition using the effective interest method.

Convertible debentures
Convertible  debentures  are  classified  according  to  their  liability  and  equity  elements  using  the  residual  approach, 
whereby the Corporation estimates the fair value of the liability element and assigns the residual value of the convertible 
debentures to the equity element. the liability element is classified as long-term debt and the equity element is classified 
as a conversion option and recorded in the contributed surplus component of equity. upon conversion of debentures to 
common shares, a pro rata portion of the long-term debt, conversion option, unamortized discount and debt issue costs, 
as well as accrued but unpaid interest, will be transferred to share capital. If any convertible debentures mature without 
being converted, the remaining conversion option balance will remain in contributed surplus. the discount is amortized 
using the effective interest rate method over the term of the related debt. the unamortized discount is included in long-
term debt and the amortization of the discount is included in interest expense.

Derivative financial instruments
the Corporation manages its foreign currency and interest rate exposures through the use of derivative financial in-
struments. the Corporation’s policy is not to utilize derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. 
the Corporation’s  derivative  contracts  are  not designated as hedges and as a result are recorded on the consoli-
dated statement of financial position at their fair value. any changes in fair value during the year are reported in other 
expenses in the consolidated statement of income. transaction costs incurred to acquire financial instruments are 
included in the underlying balance.

Provisions
a provision is recognized when there is a present legal or constructive obligation, as a result of a past event, which is 
more likely than not to result in an outflow of economic benefits and where a reliable estimate of the amount of the obliga-
tion can be made. If the effect is material, the provision is determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at a 
pre-tax risk-free rate and, where appropriate, the risks specific to the liability. a provision for onerous contracts is recog-
nized when the expected benefits to be derived from the contracts are less than the related unavoidable costs of meet-
ing its obligations under the contract. Such provisions are recorded as write-downs of work-in-progress for that portion of 
the work which has already been completed, and as liability provisions for the remainder.

Share Capital
Common shares are classified as equity. transaction costs directly attributable to the issue of common shares are recog-
nized as a deduction from equity, net of any income tax.

Estimates, Assumptions and Judgements
the preparation of consolidated financial statements requires management to make critical judgements, estimates and 
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of certain assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial 
statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses recorded during the reporting period. the critical esti-
mates and judgements utilized in preparing the Corporation’s consolidated financial statements affect the assessment 
of net recoverable amounts, net realizable values and fair values, depreciation and amortization rates and useful lives, 
value of intangible assets, ability to utilize tax losses and other tax measurements, determination of functional currency, 
determination of the degree of control that exists in determining the corresponding accounting basis, and the selection 
of accounting policies. any changes in estimates and assumptions could have a material impact on the Corporation’s fu-
ture income and/or the amounts reported in its statement of financial position. the Corporation reviews its estimates and 
assumptions on an ongoing basis and uses the most current information available and exercises careful judgement in 
making these estimates and assumptions.

37   Magellan 2013 annual RepoR t

Notes To Consolidated Financial Statements (unless otherwise stated, all amounts are in thousands of Canadian dollars)the main assumptions and estimates that were used in preparing the Corporation’s consolidated financial statements relate to:

Financial instruments
the valuation of the Corporation’s derivative instruments and certain other financial instruments requires estimation of the 
fair value of each instrument at the reporting date. Details of the basis on which fair value estimated are provided in note 18.

Impairments
the recoverable amount of intangible assets and property, plant and equipment is based on estimates and assumptions 
regarding the expected market outlook and cash flows from each Cgu.

Deferred taxes
Income taxes are determined based on estimates of the Corporation’s current income taxes and estimates of deferred in-
come taxes resulting from temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are assessed to determine the likelihood that they 
will be realized from future taxable income before they expire.

Government assistance
Investment tax credits and scientific research and experimental development tax credits are determined based on esti-
mates of the Corporation’s current year expenditures on qualifying programs. the investment tax credits are assessed to 
determine the likelihood that they will be applied against federal income tax.

Capitalization of development costs
When capitalizing development costs the Corporation must assess the technical and commercial feasibility of the proj-
ects and estimate the useful lives of resulting products. Determining whether future economic benefits will flow from the 
assets and therefore the estimates and assumptions associated with these calculations are instrumental in (i) deciding 
whether project costs can be capitalized, and (ii) accurately calculating the useful life of the projects for the Corporation.

Income (loss) on completion of contracts accounted for under the percentage-of-completion method
to estimate income (loss) on completion, the Corporation takes into account factors inherent to the contract by using 
historical and/or forecast data. When total contract costs are likely to exceed total contract revenue, the expected loss is 
recognized within cost of revenues.

Repayable government grants
the forecast repayment of grants received from government authorities is based on income from future sales. as the 
forecast repayments are closely related to forecasts of future sales set out in business plans prepared by the operat-
ing divisions, the estimates and assumptions (as regards programs and fluctuations in exchange rates, particularly the 
united States dollar) underlying these business plans are instrumental in determining the timing of these repayments.

Employee benefits
the Corporation considers a number of factors in developing the pension assumptions, including an evaluation of rel-
evant  discount  rates,  plan  asset  allocations,  mortality,  expected  changes  in  wages  and  retirement  benefits,  analysis 
of current market conditions, economic benefits available and input from actuaries and other consultants. Costs of the 
programs are based on actuarially determined amounts and are accrued over the period from the date of hire to the full 
eligibility date of employees who are expected to qualify for these benefits.

New and Amended International Financial Reporting Standards Adopted in 2013
the Corporation has adopted the following new and amended standards in the current year.

Financial Assets and Liabilities
In December 2011, the IaSB published amendments to IFRS 7, Financial Instruments: Disclosures (“IFRS 7”) which re-
quire additional disclosure requirements for financial assets and liabilities that are offset in the statement of financial 
position or subject to master netting arrangements or similar arrangements. the new disclosures will require entities 
to disclose gross amounts subject to rights of set off, amounts set off, and the related net credit exposure. the disclo-
sures are intended to help investors understand the effect or potential effect of offsetting arrangements on a company’s 
financial position. the new disclosures are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013. as the 
Corporation is not offsetting financial instruments and does not have relevant offsetting arrangements, the retrospective 
adoption of these amendments to IFRS 7 did not have any impact on the disclosures of the Corporation.

Consolidated Financial Statements
In May 2011, the IaSB issued IFRS 10, Consolidated Financial Statements (“IFRS 10”). IFRS 10 replaced portions of 
IaS  27,  Consolidated  and  Separate  Financial  Statements,  that  addressed  consolidation,  and  superseded  SIC-12, 
Consolidation – Special Purpose Entities (“Spe”), in its entirety. IFRS 10 provides a single model to be applied in the 
analysis of control of all investees, including entities that currently are Spes in the scope of SIC-12. an investor must pos-
sess the following three elements to conclude if it controls an investee: power over the investee’s financial and operating 
decisions, exposure or rights to variable returns from involvement with the investee, and the ability to use power over the 
investee and its exposure or rights to variable returns.

the adoption of IFRS 10 had no impact on the consolidated financial statements for the period or prior periods presented 
as the adoption did not result in a change in the consolidation status of any of the Corporation’s subsidiaries or investees 
or the identification of any subsidiaries.

Joint Arrangements
In May 2011, the IaSB issued IFRS 11, Joint Arrangements (“IFRS 11”). IFRS 11 supersedes IaS 31, Interest in Joint 
Ventures and SIC-13, Jointly Controlled Entities – Non-Monetary Contributions. through an assessment of the rights and 
obligations in an arrangement, IFRS 11 establishes principles to determine the type of joint arrangement, which are clas-
sified as either joint operations or joint ventures, and provides guidance for financial reporting activities required by the 
entities that have an interest in arrangements that are controlled jointly.

In a joint operation, the parties to the joint arrangement have rights to the assets and obligations for the liabilities of the 
arrangement, and recognize their share of the assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses in accordance with applicable 
IFRS. In a joint venture, the parties to the arrangement have rights to the net assets of the arrangement and account 
for  their  interest  using  the  equity  method  of  accounting  under  IaS  28,  Investments  in  Associates  and  Joint  Ventures  
(“IaS 28”). IaS 28 prescribes the accounting for investments in associates and sets out the requirements for the applica-
tion of the equity method when accounting for investments in associates and joint ventures.

the Corporation has concluded that its joint arrangements are joint ventures under IFRS 11 and, accordingly, has re-
corded its investments using the equity method of accounting whereas prior to adoption of IFRS 11, the proportionate 
consolidation method was used. the Corporation has applied the new policy retrospectively in accordance with the tran-
sitional provisions of IFRS 11 and recognized the deemed cost of its investments in joint ventures at January 1, 2012, as 
the net of the carrying amounts of the assets and liabilities previously proportionately consolidated by the Corporation. 

39   Magellan 2013 annual RepoR t

Notes To Consolidated Financial Statements (unless otherwise stated, all amounts are in thousands of Canadian dollars)under the equity method, the Corporation’s share of individual assets and liabilities are replaced with a net investment in 
joint ventures amount in the consolidated balance sheet and individual revenues and expenses are replaced with earn-
ings from investment in joint ventures amount in the consolidated statement of income. the impact of adoption on the 
consolidated financial statements for prior periods is shown in the table included later in this note.

Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities
In May 2011, the IaSB issued IFRS 12, Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities (“IFRS 12”), which contains disclosure 
requirements for interests in other entities, such as subsidiaries, joint arrangements, associates, special purpose ve-
hicles and off balance sheet vehicles. the standard carries forward existing disclosures and also introduces signifi-
cant additional disclosure requirements that address the nature of, and risks associated with, an entity’s interests in 
other entities. the requirements of IFRS 12 relate to disclosures only and are applicable for the first annual period after 
adoption, and, accordingly, the additional disclosures about interests in other entities have been included in the con-
solidated financial statements.

the Corporation’s subsidiaries are all wholly owned and as such the determination of whether to consolidate these enti-
ties or the identification of any subsidiaries did not involve any significant judgments or assumptions. there are no signifi-
cant restrictions on the ability of the Corporation to access or use the assets, and settle the liabilities of the Corporation 
and its subsidiaries except for customary limitations in the Corporation’s credit facility.

Fair Value Measurement
In May 2011, the IaSB published IFRS 13, Fair Value Measurement (“IFRS 13”), which is effective prospectively for an-
nual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013. IFRS 13 replaces the fair value measurement guidance contained in 
individual IFRSs with a single source of fair value measurement guidance. the standard also establishes a framework for 
measuring fair value and sets out additional disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. the standard did not 
have a material measurement impact on the consolidated financial statements.

Presentation of Financial Statements
In June 2011, the IaSB published amendments to IaS 1, Presentation of Financial Statements: Presentation of Items of 
Other Comprehensive Income, which are effective for annual periods beginning on or after July 1, 2012 and are to be ap-
plied retrospectively. these amendments require that a Corporation present separately the items of other comprehensive 
income (“oCI”) that may be reclassified to profit or loss in the future from those that would never be reclassified to profit 
or loss. the Corporation has adopted the presentation amendments in its 2013 consolidated financial statements.

Employee Benefits
In June 2011, the IaSB published an amended version of IaS 19, Employee Benefits (“IaS 19”). adoption of the amend-
ment is required for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013. IaS 19 was amended to eliminate the ‘corridor 
approach’ previously permitted and accelerate the recognition of past service costs. as part of its transition to IFRS, the 
Corporation elected to present remeasurements in oCI. the Corporation replaced interest costs on the defined benefit 
obligation and the expected return on plan assets with a net interest cost based on the net defined benefit asset or liabil-
ity measured by applying the same discount rate used to measure the defined benefit obligation at the beginning of the 
annual period. Interest expense or interest income on net post-employment benefit liabilities and assets continue to be 
recognized in net income. IaS 19 requires termination benefits to be recognized at the earlier of when the entity can no 
longer withdraw an offer of termination benefits or recognizes any restructuring costs.

the amended version of IaS 19 was adopted with retrospective application and, accordingly, the comparative periods 
presented have been adjusted to reflect the reversal of any unamortized past service costs and the application of one dis-
count rate to the net defined benefit asset or liability to determine the interest element of the defined benefit cost. the im-
pact of adoption on the consolidated financial statements for prior periods is shown in the table included later in this note.

New and Amended International Financial Reporting Standards to be Adopted in 2014 or Later
the following new standards and amendments to existing standards were issued by the IaSB and are expected to be 
adopted by the Corporation in 2014 or later.

Financial Instruments – Recognition and Measurement
In october 2010, the IaSB published amendments to IFRS 9, Financial Instruments (“IFRS 9”) which provides added guid-
ance on the classification and measurement of financial liabilities. IFRS 9 will replace IaS 39 and will be completed in three 
phases:  classification  and  measurement  of  financial  assets  and  liabilities,  impairment  of  financial  assets,  and  general 
hedge accounting. this was the first phase of the project on classification and measurement of financial assets and liabili-
ties. the IaSB is discussing proposed limited amendments related to this phase of the project. the standard on general 
hedge accounting was issued and included as part of IFRS 9 in november 2013. the accounting for macro hedging is 
expected to be issued as a separate standard outside of IFRS 9. the impairment of financial assets phase of the project 
is currently in development. In november 2013, the mandatory effective date of IFRS 9 of January 1, 2015 was removed 
and the effective date will be determined when the remaining phases of IFRS 9 are finalized. the Corporation is currently 
monitoring the developments of this standard and assessing the impact that the adoption of this standard may have on the 
consolidated financial statements.

Financial Assets and Liabilities
In December 2011, amendments to IaS 32, Financial Instruments: Presentation were issued to clarify the existing re-
quirements for offsetting financial assets and financial liabilities. the amendments are effective for annual periods begin-
ning on or after January 1, 2014. the Corporation does not expect the adoption of these amendments to have a material 
impact on the consolidated financial statements.

Levies
In May 2013, International Financial Reporting Standards Interpretations Committee Interpretation 21, Levies (“IFRIC 21”) 
was issued. IFRIC 21 addresses various accounting issues relating to levies imposed by a government. this interpretation 
is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2014. the Corporation is currently assessing the impact the 
adoption of this interpretation may have on the consolidated financial statements.

Employee Benefits
In november 2013, Defined Benefit plans: employee Contributions was issued to amend IaS 19, Employee Benefits. 
these narrow scope amendments simplify the accounting for contributions to defined benefit plans. these amendments 
are effective for annual periods beginning on or after July 1, 2014, with earlier application permitted. the Corporation is 
currently assessing the impact the adoption of this standard may have on the consolidated financial statements.

42   Magellan 2013 annual RepoR t

Notes To Consolidated Financial Statements (unless otherwise stated, all amounts are in thousands of Canadian dollars)Impairment of Assets
In May 29, 2013, the IaSB published amendments to IaS 36, Impairment of Assets which reduce the circumstances in 
which the recoverable amount of Cgus is required to be disclosed and clarify the disclosures required when an impair-
ment loss has been recognized or reversed in the period. this amendment is effective for annual periods beginning on or 
after January 1, 2014. the Corporation does not expect the adoption of these amendments to have a material impact on 
its consolidated financial statements.

3. BUSINESS COMBINATION

on august 31, 2012, the Corporation purchased all of the issued and outstanding shares of the capital stock of John 
Huddleston engineering limited (“JHe”), a european supplier of precision machined aerospace components with facili-
ties in great Britain, northern Ireland and poland. the acquisition allows the Corporation to strengthen and enhance its 
core manufacturing capabilities and further expand its european operations.

the total consideration paid to the seller at closing was $15,671 in cash, or $13,641 net of cash acquired of $2,030.

accounting guidance requires that identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed be reported at fair value as of the 
acquisition date of a business combination. During the fourth quarter of 2012, final valuations of the identifiable assets 
acquired and liabilities assumed were completed. the adjustments to the preliminary purchase price allocation resulted 
in a gain on bargain purchase of $7,410 (net of deferred income tax of $2,187) from the amount previously reported as 
the consideration paid for the identifiable tangible assets acquired was lower than their fair value, as determined by an 
independent valuation specialist. the gain on bargain purchase was due to the fact that the Corporation was one of a 
limited number of purchasers well positioned to rapidly utilize the excess capacity and employ the specialized equip-
ment so as to preserve its significant value.

the following table presents the final allocation of purchase price related to the business as of the date of the acquisition:

the Corporation incurred acquisition-related costs of $428 relating to external legal fees, consulting fees and due dili-
gence costs that are included in administration and general expenses.

the fair value of trade receivables and other receivables is $7,039 and includes trade receivables with a fair value of 
$6,906 which represents the gross contractual amount for trade receivables due.

the amounts of JHe’s revenue and net income included in the Corporation’s consolidated statements of income for the 
year ended December 31, 2012 was $5,597 and $297, respectively. If the acquisition had occurred on January 1, 2012, 
management estimates that the Corporation’s consolidated revenue would have been approximately $722,039 and con-
solidated net income would have been approximately $59,113 for the year ended December 31, 2012. In determining 
these amounts, management  has  assumed  the fair value adjustments  which arose on the date of acquisition, would 
have been the same as if the acquisition would have occurred on January 1, 2012. this pro forma information is for

achieved had the acquisition been consummated at that time, nor is it intended to be a projection of future results.

the cost of inventories recognized as expense and included in cost of sales for the year ended December 31, 2013 
amounted to $638,152 [2012 – $610,378].

During the year ended December 31, 2013, the Corporation recorded an impairment expense related to the write-down 
of inventory in the amount of $1,869 [2012 – $473]. the Corporation also recorded reversals of previous write-downs of 
inventory in the amount of $1,355 [2012 – $624] due to the sale of inventory previously provided for. the carrying amount 
of inventory recorded at net realizable value was $25,016 as at December 31, 2013 [2012 – $21,165], with the remaining 
inventory recorded at cost.

Due to the long-term contractual period of the Corporation’s contracts, the Corporation may be in negotiations with its 
customers over amendments to pricing or other terms. Management’s assessment of the recoverability of amounts 
capitalized in inventory may be based on judgments with respect to the outcome of these negotiations. If the negotia-
tions are not successful or the final terms differ from what the Corporation expects, the Corporation may be required 
to record a loss provision on this contract. the amount of such provision, if any, cannot be reasonably estimated until 
such amendments are finalized.

property plant and equipment primarily as a result of the change in use of the related asset. Depreciation expense rec-
ognized in relation to the buildings in 2013 was $169 [2012 – $158].

the fair value of the Corporation’s investment properties was $11,868 at December 31, 2013. the fair value was deter-
mined through the use of the market comparable approach and discounted cash flows approach which are categorized 
as a level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. In 2013, the Corporation obtained an opinion by an external valuator, with experi-
ence in the real estate market, on the fair value of $4,900 of the total fair values of the Corporation’s investment proper-
ties. For one other investment property, the Corporation used the fair value obtained in 2012 by an external valuator as 
the market conditions in which the property is held did not change materially. For all other investment properties, the 
Corporation internally determined the fair value using the discounted cash flow approach.

46   Magellan 2013 annual RepoR t

Notes To Consolidated Financial Statements (unless otherwise stated, all amounts are in thousands of Canadian dollars)the  Corporation  has  certain  programs  that  meet  the  criteria  for  deferral  and  amortization  of  development  costs. 
Development costs are capitalized for clearly defined, technically feasible technologies which management intends to 
produce and promote to an identified future market, and for which resources exist or are expected to be available to 
complete the project. the Corporation records amortization in arriving at the carrying value of deferred development 
costs once the development activities have been completed and sales of the related product have commenced. the 
Corporation estimates the intangible assets to be amortized over a period of 5 to 13 years based on units of production.

the recoverable amount of programs, projects and product families is determined based on estimated future cash flows 
for the term over which the program is expected to be marketed, which may span several decades.

Impairments
at the end of each reporting period, the Corporation assesses whether there are events or circumstances indicating that an 
asset may be impaired. Such events or circumstances notably include material adverse changes which in the long-term 
impact  the  economic  environment  (commercial  prospects,  procurement  sources,  index  or  cost  movements,  etc.)  or  the 
Corporation’s assumptions or objectives (medium-term plan, profitability analyses, market share, backlog, regulations, etc.).

the main assumptions used to determine the recoverable amount of intangible assets relating to programs, projects and 
product families are as follows:
–   the discounted cash flow approach used to estimate the value in use of the Cgu’s incorporated market participant 
assumptions. expected future cash flows are calculated based on the medium-term plans established for the next five 
years and estimated cash flows for years 6 to 22 [2012 – years 6 to 23].

–   growth rates of 1-2% [2012 – 1-2%] were used to extrapolate cash flow projections beyond the five year period cov-

ered by the long-term plan and did not exceed the long-term average growth rate of the industry.

–   the average united States exchange rate adopted is 1.04 [2012 – 0.98].
–   the pre-tax discount rates used reflect the current market assessment of the risks specific to each Cgu. the discount rate 
was estimated based on the average percentage of weighted average cost of capital for the industry. a discount rate of 
12.5% was applied to the cash flow projections determined in the year end testing of recoverable amounts [2012 – 12.5%].

as a result of the impairment tests performed in 2013, the Corporation recognized a reversal of previous impairment 
losses of $1,884 against development costs relating to a commercial aircraft program as the Corporation was able to ne-
gotiate additional favourable contract terms. In addition, the Corporation recognized impairment losses of $572 against 
development costs relating to a separate commercial aircraft program as the Corporation has revised its estimated num-
ber of units, due to changes in market outlook, resulting in movements to the timing of cash flows. the impairment rever-
sal and charge were recorded against recurring costs of revenues.

In 2012, the Corporation recognized a reversal of previous impairment losses of $2,138 against development costs relat-
ing to a commercial aircraft program as the Corporation was able to obtain an offer with more favourable contract terms. 
In addition, the Corporation recognized impairment losses of $1,868 against development costs relating to a separate 
commercial aircraft program as the Corporation has revised its estimated number of units due to changes in the market 
outlook for the program. the impairment reversal and charge were recorded against recurring costs of revenues.

9. INVESTMENTS IN JOINT VENTURES

the Corporation has interests in a number of individually immaterial joint ventures. the Corporation’s joint ventures are 
private entities that are not listed on any public exchange. all operations are continuing. the Corporation has no share of 
any contingent liabilities or capital commitments in its joint ventures as at December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012.

on July 10, 2013, the Corporation invested $3,994 in a 49% interest in triveni aeronautics private limited (“triveni”) 
located in India which was funded through working capital. triveni is an aerospace components manufacturing com-
pany which offers critical parts and sub-assemblies to aero-engines and aero-structures industries, and as such the 

47   Magellan 2013 annual RepoR t

Notes To Consolidated Financial Statements (unless otherwise stated, all amounts are in thousands of Canadian dollars)Corporation views the acquisition as a strategic fit. the Corporation has accounted for its interest in triveni as a joint ven-
ture and recorded the investment at the amount of consideration paid of $3,994, which included the Corporation’s share 
of the net fair value of assets and liabilities of $3,090 and goodwill of $904 identified on acquisition.

agreed to make additional contributions, in proportion to their interests, to make up any losses, if required. In addition, 
profits of the joint ventures are not distributed until the parties to the arrangement provide consent for distribution.

10. BANK INDEBTEDNESS

on December 21, 2012, the Corporation amended its credit agreement with its existing lenders. the Corporation has 
an operating credit facility, with a syndicate of banks, with a Canadian dollar limit of $115,000 plus a united States

mutual consent of the syndicate of lenders and the Corporation. the credit agreement also includes a Cdn$50,000 
uncommitted accordion provision which provides the Corporation with the option to increase the size of the operating 
credit facility to $200,000. Bank indebtedness as at December 31, 2013 of $115,930 [December 31, 2012 – $112,666] 
bears interest at the bankers’ acceptance or lIBoR rates, plus 1.20% [2.09% at December 31, 2013 (2012 – bank-
ers’ acceptance or lIBoR rates plus 1.20% or 2.35%)]. Included in the amount outstanding at December 31, 2013 
is uS$26,797 [December 31, 2012 – uS$18,358]. at December 31, 2013, the Corporation had drawn $118,667 un-
der the operating credit facility, including letters of credit totalling $2,737 such that $33,559 was unused and avail-
able. a fixed and floating charge debenture on accounts receivable, inventories and property, plant and equipment 
is pledged as collateral for the operating credit facility. the Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Corporation (the 
“Board”) has provided a guarantee for the full amount of the operating credit facility.

[c] on January 31, 2008, edco Capital Corporation (“edco”), a corporation controlled by the Chairman of the Board, 
provided a $50,000 loan due July 1, 2009 (the “original loan”) to the Corporation. the original loan originally had an 
interest rate of 10% per annum calculated and payable monthly, collateralized and subordinated to the Corporation’s 
existing operating credit facility. the original loan was secured by subordinated mortgages on two of the Corporation’s 
real properties. the original loan was subsequently amended in 2009, 2010 and 2011 in which certain terms of the 
agreement were restated resulting in a reduction in the interest rate to 7.5% per annum and the extension of the maturity 
date to July 1, 2013. on December 21, 2012, the original loan was extended to January 1, 2015 on the same terms and

the  Corporation  has  received  contributions  related  to  the  development  of  its  technologies  and  processes  from 
Canadian government agencies. the contributions have been deducted in calculating the Corporation’s investment 
in intangible assets, property plant and equipment or from the expense to which they relate. these amounts, plus, in 
certain cases, an implied return on the investment, are repayable as a percentage of the Corporation’s revenues. the 
Corporation has included in borrowings subject to specific conditions the estimated amount of repayments in relation 
to the contributions received.

the Corporation received  contributions  from  the Canadian government’s Strategic aerospace and Defence Initiative 
program (“SaDI”) and technology partnerships Canada program (“tpC”) for technology and process development. the 
SaDI participation supports the development of new manufacturing and process technology for composite and metallic 
materials for the multi-national Joint Strike Fighter F-35 lightning II aircraft and under SaDI, the Corporation is to receive 
repayable cash flow support of up to $43,400. During 2013, the Corporation received $1,063 [2012 – $3,688] of govern-
ment contributions under SaDI, of which $252 [2012 – $795] has been credited to the related assets, $137 [2012 – $562] 
has been credited to the related expense and $674 [2012 – $2,331] has been recorded in borrowings subject to specific 
conditions. the Corporation received contributions from tpC in years prior to 2010, and no additional funding has been 
received. In 2013, the Corporation reached an agreement with tpC settling one of the grants received which resulted in 
the recognition of a gain of $1,031, included in other income in the consolidated statements of income. the contributions 
are repayable as future royalty payments when it is probable that all or part of the amounts received will be repaid based 
on future estimated sales. During 2013, the Corporation repaid $1,196 [2012 – $1,049] in government contributions.

as at December 31, 2013, the Corporation has recognized $19,348 [2012 – $21,440] as the estimated fair value amount 
repayable to SaDI and tpC. the fair value was determined by discounting the expected future cash outflows based 
on current rates for debt with similar terms and maturities which is categorized as a level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. 
Fluctuations  in  the  discount  rate  in  the  year  resulted  in  the  reversal  of  previously  recorded  accretion  expense  in  the 
amount of $1,151, included in interest expense in the consolidated statements of income. the Corporation is eligible for 
additional government contributions of $21,533 in 2014 based on approved expenditures.

17. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION PLAN

the Corporation has an incentive stock option plan, which provides for the granting of options for the benefit of employ-
ees and directors. the options include a cash option feature that allows option holders to elect to receive an amount in 
cash equal to the intrinsic value, being the excess market price of the common share over the exercise price of the op-
tion, instead of exercising the option and acquiring the common shares. options are granted at an exercise price equal 
to the market price of the Corporation’s common shares at the time of granting. options normally have a life of five years 
with vesting at 20.0% 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 for the option holder’s entitlement to fully vest. as at December 
31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, there were no options granted and outstanding. the maximum number of options for 
common shares that is available to be granted under this plan is 1,673,341.

the Corporation has a deferred share unit plan (“DSu plan”) for certain executive officers (“officers”) which provides 
a structure for officers to accumulate equity-like holdings in the Corporation. the DSu plan allows certain officers to 
participate in the growth of the Corporation by providing a deferred payment based on the value of a common share at 
the time of redemption. each officer receives deferred share units (“units”) based on their annual management incen-
tive compensation. the units are issued based on the Corporation’s common share price at the time of issue. a third of 
the units are paid upon issuance and the remaining units are paid out equally on the anniversary date of issuance in the 
following two year period or upon retiring. the cash value is equal to the common share price at the date of redemption, 
adjusted by any dividends paid on the common shares. as at December 31, 2013, 82,098 units were outstanding at an 
accrued value of $535 [December 31, 2012 – $250].

18. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Categories of financial instruments
under IFRS, financial instruments are classified into one of the following four categories: financial assets at fair value 
through profit or loss, loans and receivables, financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, and other financial 
liabilities at amortized cost.

all financial instruments, including derivatives, are included on the consolidated statement of financial position, which 
are measured at fair value except for loans and receivables and other financial liabilities, which are measured at amor-
tized costs. Held for trading financial investments are subsequently measured at fair value and all gains and losses are 
included in net income in the period in which they arise. available-for-sale financial instruments are subsequently mea-
sured at fair value with revaluation gains and losses included in other comprehensive income until the instruments are 
derecognized or impaired.

the carrying values of the Corporation’s financial instruments are classified as follows:

transactions

the Corporation has exposure to the following risks from its use of financial instruments:
–  Market risk
–  Credit risk
–  liquidity risk

this  note  presents  information  about  the  Corporation’s  risks  to  each  of  the  above  risks,  its  objectives,  policies  and 
processes for measuring and managing risk.

Market risk
Market risk is the risk that changes in the market prices, such as foreign exchange rates and interest rates, will affect the 
Corporation’s income or the value of its holdings of financial instruments. the Corporation’s policy is not to utilize deriva-
tive financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. the Corporation may utilize derivative instruments in the 
management of its foreign currency and interest rate exposures.

the Corporation thoroughly examines the various financial instrument risks to which it is exposed and assesses the im-
pact and likelihood of those risks. these risks may include currency risk, interest rate risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. 
Where material, these risks are reviewed and monitored by the Board of the Corporation.

Currency risk
the Corporation operates internationally, which gives rise to a risk that its income, cash flows and shareholders’ 
equity  may  be  adversely  impacted  by  fluctuations  in  foreign  exchange  rate.  Currency  risk  arises  because  the 
amount of the local currency receivable or payable for transactions denominated in foreign currencies may vary 
due  to  changes  in  exchange  rate  (“transaction  exposures”)  and  because  the  non-Canadian  dollar  denominat-
ed financial statements of the Corporation’s subsidiaries may vary on consolidation into the reporting currency 

54   Magellan 2013 annual RepoR t

Notes To Consolidated Financial Statements (unless otherwise stated, all amounts are in thousands of Canadian dollars)of Canadian dollars (“translation exposures”). the Corporation uses derivative financial instruments to manage 
foreign  exchange  risk  with  the  objective  of  minimizing  transaction  exposures  and  the  resulting  volatility  of  the 
Corporation’s net income.

the most significant transaction exposures arise in the Canadian operations where significant portions of the reve-
nues are transacted in u.S. dollars. as a result, the Corporation may experience transaction exposures because of the 
volatility in the exchange rate between the Canadian and u.S. dollar. Based on the Corporation’s current u.S. denomi-
nated net inflows, as of December 31, 2013, fluctuations of +/- 1% would, everything else being equal, have an effect 
on net income and on other comprehensive income for the year ended December 31, 2013 of approximately +/- $98 
and $1,356 respectively.

Interest rate risk
the Corporation is exposed to interest rate risk in its floating rate bank indebtedness. at December 31, 2013, $164,193 
of the Corporation’s total debt portfolio is subject to movements in floating interest rates. In addition, a portion of the 
Corporation’s  accounts  receivable  securitization  programs  are  exposed  to  interest  rate  fluctuations.  the  objective 
of  the  Corporation’s  interest  rate  management  activities  is  to  minimize  the  volatility  of  the  Corporation’s  income.  the 
Corporation monitors its exposure to interest rates and has not entered into any derivative contracts to manage this risk. 
a fluctuation in interest rates of 100 basis points (1 percent) would have impacted the amount of interest charged to net 
income during the year ended December 31, 2013 by approximately +/- $1,423.

Credit risk
Credit risk arises from cash and cash equivalents held with banks and financial institutions as well as credit exposure to 
clients, including outstanding accounts receivable. the maximum exposure to credit risk is equal to the carrying value 
of the financial assets. the objective of managing credit risk is to prevent losses in financial assets. the Corporation is 
also exposed to credit risk from the potential default by any of its counterparties on its foreign exchange forward con-
tracts. the Corporation mitigates this credit risk by dealing with counterparties who are major financial institutions that 
the Corporation anticipates will satisfy their obligations under the contracts.

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. the Corporation sells the majority of its products to large international organizations with 
strong credit ratings. therefore, the Corporation is not exposed to significant credit risk and overall the Corporation’s 
credit risk has not changed significantly from the prior year.

the carrying amount of accounts receivable is reduced through the use of an allowance account and the amount of the 
loss is recognized in the consolidated statements of income within administrative and general expenses. When a receiv-
able balance is considered uncollectible, it is written off against the allowance for accounts receivable. Subsequent re-
coveries of amounts previously written off are credited against administrative and general expenses.

Derecognition of financial assets
the Corporation sells a portion of its accounts receivables through securitization programs or factoring transactions. During 
2013, the Corporation sold receivables to various financial institutions in the amount of $256,150 [2012 – $227,699] for a 
discount of $698 [2012 – $648] representing an annualized interest rate of 1.73% [2012 – 1.83%].

as at December 31, 2013, accounts receivables include receivables sold and financed through securitization trans-
actions of $26,022 [2012 – $26,521] which do not meet the IaS 39 derecognition requirements as the Corporation 
continues  to  be  exposed  to  credit  risk.  these  receivables  are  recognized  as  such  in  the  consolidated  financial 
statements even though they have been legally sold; a corresponding financial liability is recorded in the consoli-
dated statement of financial position under debt due within one year.

55   Magellan 2013 annual RepoR t

Notes To Consolidated Financial Statements (unless otherwise stated, all amounts are in thousands of Canadian dollars)Liquidity risk
the Corporation’s objective in managing liquidity risk is to ensure that there are sufficient committed loan facilities in 
order to meet its liquidity requirements at any point in time. the Corporation has in place a planning and budgeting pro-
cess to help determine the funds required to support the Corporation’s normal operating requirements on an ongoing ba-
sis, taking into account its anticipated cash flows from operations and its operating facility capacity. the primary sources 
of liquidity are the operating credit facility, accounts receivable securitization program and the indebtedness provided 
by a company controlled by a common director, which require the continued support by the Chairman of the Board of 
the Corporation. Based on current funds available and expected cash flow from operating activities, management be-
lieves that the Corporation has sufficient funds available to meet its liquidity requirements at any point in time. However, 
if cash from operating activities is lower than expected or capital costs for projects exceed current estimates, or if the 
Corporation incurs major unanticipated expenses, it may be required to seek additional capital in the form of debt or eq-
uity or a combination of both.

Fair values
the Corporation has determined the estimated fair values of its financial instruments based on appropriate valuation 
methodologies; however, considerable judgement 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 meth-
ods and assumptions used to estimate the fair value of financial instruments are described as follows:

Cash, 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 statements 
of financial position are reasonable estimates of their fair values.

Foreign exchange contracts
the Corporation enters into forward foreign exchange contracts to mitigate future cash flow exposures in united States 
dollars and euros. under these contracts the Corporation is obliged to purchase specific amounts at predetermined 
dates and exchange rates. these contracts are matched with anticipated operational cash flows in united States dol-
lars and euros. the Corporation does not have any forward foreign exchange contracts outstanding as at December 31, 
2013.

56   Magellan 2013 annual RepoR t

Notes To Consolidated Financial Statements (unless otherwise stated, all amounts are in thousands of Canadian dollars)Long-term debt
the fair value of the Corporation’s long-term debt is $51,021 at December 31, 2013. the fair value was determined by 
discounting the expected future cash flows based on current rates for debt with similar terms and maturities which is cat-
egorized as a level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.

Collateral
as at December 31, 2013, the carrying amount of all of the financial assets that the Corporation has pledged as collateral 
for its long-term debt facilities was $154,729.

Fair value hierarchy
the Corporation’s financial assets and liabilities recorded at fair value on the consolidated statement of financial position 
have been categorized into three categories based on a fair value hierarchy. Fair value of assets and liabilities included 
in level I are determined by reference to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities. assets and 
liabilities in level 2 include valuations using inputs other than the quoted prices for which all significant inputs are based 
on observable market data, either directly or indirectly. level 3 valuations are based on inputs that are not based on ob-
servable market data.

the fair value hierarchy requires the use of observable market inputs whenever such inputs exist. a financial instrument 
is classified to the lowest level of the hierarchy for which a significant input has been considered in measuring fair value. 
the Corporation does not have any financial assets carried at fair value as at December 31, 2013.

19. EMPLOYEE FUTURE BENEFITS

the  Corporation  provides  retirement  benefits  through  a  variety  of  arrangements  comprised  principally  of  defined 
benefit  and  defined  contribution  plans  that  cover  a  substantial  portion  of  employees  in  accordance  with  local 
regulations  and  practices.  the  most  significant  plans  in  terms  of  the  benefits  accrued  to  date  by  participants  are 
career  average  and  final  average  earnings  plans  and  around  62%  of  the  obligations  accrued  to  date  come  from 
defined benefit plans in Canada.

Defined Benefit Plans
Canada
the Canadian defined benefit plans comprise of both career average and final average earnings plans which provide 
benefits to members in the form of a guaranteed level of pension payable for life. a majority of the plans are currently 
closed to new entrants. the level of pensions in the defined benefit plans depends on the member’s length of service 
and salary at retirement age for final average earnings plans and salary during employment for career average plans. 
the defined benefit pension plans requires contributions to be made to a separate trustee-administered fund which is 
governed by the Corporation. the Corporation is responsible for the administration of the plans assets and for the defini-
tion of the investment strategy. the Corporation reviews the level of funding in the defined benefit pension plans on an 
annual basis as required by local government legislation. Such review includes the asset-liability matching strategy and 
investment risk management policy. actuarial valuations are required at least every three years. Depending on the juris-
diction and the funded status of the plan, actuarial valuations may be required annually. the most recent actuarial valua-
tions for the various pension plans were completed between December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2012.

Contributions are determined by the appointed actuary and cover the going-concern normal costs and deficits (estab-
lished under the assumption that the plan will continue to be in force) or solvency deficits (established under the assump-
tion that the plan stops its operations and is being liquidated), as prescribed by laws and actuarial practices. under the 
laws in effect, minimum contributions are required to amortize the going-concern deficits over a period of fifteen years and 
solvency deficits over a period of five years. temporary solvency relief measures put in place to mitigate the adverse effects 
of the 2008 financial crisis allow for the amortization of solvency deficits over a period of up to ten years.

57   Magellan 2013 annual RepoR t

Notes To Consolidated Financial Statements (unless otherwise stated, all amounts are in thousands of Canadian dollars)US
the  united  States  defined  benefit  plan  provides  benefits  to  members  in  the  form  of  a  guaranteed  level  of  pen-
sion payable for life at retirement, and is currently closed to future accrual of benefits. the benefit payments are 
from a trustee-administered fund and plan assets held in trusts are governed by Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) 
regulations.  Responsibility  for  governance  of  the  plan,  including  investment  decisions  and  contribution  sched-
ules, is also governed by IRS Regulations and lies with the Corporation. actuarial valuations are required annually. 
Contributions  are  determined  by  appointed  actuaries  and  cover  normal  cost  and  deficits  as  prescribed  by  law. 
Funding deficits are generally amortized over a period of seven years.

Investment Policy
the overall investment policy and strategy for the defined benefit pension plans is guided by the objective of achieving 
an investment return which, together with contributions, ensures that there will be sufficient assets to pay pension ben-
efits as they fall due while also mitigating the risks of the plans. See below for more information about the Corporation’s 
risk management initiatives.

the target asset allocation is determined based on expected economic and market conditions, the maturity profile of 
the plans’ liabilities, the funded status of the respective plans and the plan stakeholders’ tolerance to risk. generally, 
the Corporation aims to have a portfolio mix of a combined 5% in money market securities, 20% in non-traditional equi-
ties, 30% in fixed income instruments and 45% in equity for the Canadian defined benefit plans and a portfolio mix of a 
combined 20% in cash, 35% in fixed income instruments and 45% in equity for the united States defined benefit plan. as 
the plans mature and the funded status improves through cash contributions and anticipated excess equity returns, the 
Corporation intends to reduce the level of investment risk by investing in more fixed-income assets that better match the 
liabilities.

Risk Management
the Corporation’s pension plans are exposed to various risks, including equity, interest rate, inflation, liquidity and lon-
gevity risks. Several risk strategies and policies have been put in place to mitigate the impact these risks could have on 
the funded status of defined benefit plans and on the future level of contributions by the Corporation. the following is a 
description of key risks together with the mitigation measures in place to address them. 

Equity risk
equity risk is the risk that results from fluctuations in equity prices. this risk is managed by maintaining diversification of 
portfolios across geographies, industry sectors and investment strategies.

Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that results from fluctuations in the fair value of plan assets and liabilities due to movements 
in interest rates. this risk is managed by reducing the mismatch between the duration of plan assets and the duration of 
pension obligation. this is accomplished by having a portion of the portfolio invested in long-term bonds. a decrease in 
corporate and/or government bond yields will increase plan liabilities, which will be partially offset by an increase in the 
value of the plans’ bond holdings.

Liquidity risk
liquidity risk is the risk stemming from holding assets which cannot be readily converted to cash when needed for the 
payment of benefits or to rebalance the portfolios. liquidity risk is managed through investment in government bonds 
and equity futures.

Longevity risk
longevity risk is the risk that increasing life expectancy results in longer-than-expected benefit payments resulting in an in-
crease in the plans’ liabilities. this risk is mitigated by using the most recent mortality tables to set the level of contributions.

58   Magellan 2013 annual RepoR t

Notes To Consolidated Financial Statements (unless otherwise stated, all amounts are in thousands of Canadian dollars)the Corporation obtains actuarial valuations for its accrued benefit obligations and the fair value of plan assets for ac-
counting purposes under IFRS as at December 31 of each year. In addition, the Corporation estimates movements in its 
accrued benefit liabilities at the end of each interim reporting period, based upon movements in discount rates and the 
rates of return on plan assets, as well as any significant changes to the plans. adjustments are also made for payments 
made and benefits earned.

Defined Contribution Plans
the Corporation’s management, administrative and certain unionized employees may participate in defined contribu-
tion pension plans. the Corporation contributes an amount expressed as a percentage of employees’ contributions with 
such percentage varying by group.

the Corporation’s expenses for defined contribution plans amounted to $4,189 for the year ended December 31, 2013 
[2012 – $3,887].

Other Benefit Plan
the Corporation has another benefit plan in the united States which includes retiree medical benefits that contribute to 
the health care coverage of certain employees and their beneficiates after retirement. the other benefit plan is currently 
closed to new entrants. the post-retirement benefits cover all types of medical expenses including, but not limited to, 
cost of doctor visits, hospitalization, surgery and pharmaceuticals. the other benefit plan also provides for post-employ-
ment life insurance and compensated absences for eligible current employees, including vacation to be taken before 
retirement, if certain age and service requirements are met. the retirees contribute to the costs of the post-retirement 
medical benefits. the plan is not pre-funded and costs are incurred as amounts are paid.

Notes To Consolidated Financial Statements (unless otherwise stated, all amounts are in thousands of Canadian dollars)the Corporation expects to contribute approximately $6,556 in 2014 to all its defined benefit plans in accordance with 
normal funding policy. Because of market driven changes that the Corporation cannot predict, the Corporation could be 
required to make contributions in the future that differ significantly from its estimates.

Significant assumptions and sensitivity analysis
the significant actuarial assumptions adopted in measuring the Corporation’s accrued benefit obligations represent 
management’s best estimates reflecting the long-term nature of employee future benefits and are as follows [weighted-
average assumptions as at December 31]:

the  discount  rate  assumption  used  in  determining  the  obligations  for  pension  and  other  benefit  plans  was  selected 
based on a review of current market interest rates of high-quality, fixed rate debt securities adjusted to reflect the dura-
tion of expected future cash outflows for pension benefit payments. at December 31, 2013, a 1.0% decrease in the dis-
count rate used (all other assumptions remaining unchanged) could result in a $15,548 increase in the pension benefit 
obligation with a corresponding charge recognized in other comprehensive income in the year.

the fair value of the Corporation’s long-term debt is $51,021 at December 31, 2013. the fair value was determined by 
discounting the expected future cash flows based on current rates for debt with similar terms and maturities which is 
categorized as a level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. a one year additional life expectancy as at December 31, 2013 for all 
defined benefit plans would increase the net defined benefit liability by $1,788, all other actuarial assumptions remaining 
unchanged.

the Corporation funds health care benefit costs, shown under other benefit plan, as a pay as you go basis. For measure-
ment purposes, a 5.0% to 10.0% annual rate of increase in the per capita cost of covered health care and dental benefits 
was assumed for 2013. the rate was assumed to decrease gradually over the next 10 years to 3.0% and to remain at that 
level thereafter. the impact of applying a one-percentage-point increase or decrease in the assumed health care and 
dental benefit trend rates as at December 31, 2013 was nominal.

Based on the nature of the Corporation’s markets, two main operating segments were identified: aerospace and power 
generation project. the aerospace segment includes the design, development, manufacture, repair and overhaul and 
sale of systems and components for defence and commercial aviation, while the power generation project segment in-
cludes the supply of gas turbine power generation units. Revenues in the power generation project segment arise solely 
from the power generation project in Republic of ghana and the revenue is included in Canada export revenue.

and income tax expense. the Corporation accounts for intersegment and related party sales and transfers, if any, at 
the exchange amount.

Included in other expenses is a foreign exchange gain of $142 [2012 – gain of $540] on the conversion of foreign cur-
rency denominated working capital balances and debt.

28. MANAGEMENT OF CAPITAL

the Corporation’s objective is to maintain a capital base sufficient to maintain investor, creditor and market confidence 
and to sustain future development of the business. Management defines capital as the Corporation’s shareholders’ eq-
uity and interest bearing debt.

as at December 31, 2013, total managed capital was $601,174, comprised of shareholders’ equity of $408,158 and 
interest-bearing debt of $193,016.

the Corporation manages its capital structure and makes adjustments to it in light of economic conditions, the risk char-
acteristics of the underlying assets and the Corporation’s working capital requirements. In order to maintain or adjust its 
capital structure, the Corporation, upon approval from its Board of Directors, may issue or repay long-term debt, issue 
shares, repurchase shares through the normal course issuer bid, pay dividends or undertake other activities as deemed 
appropriate under the specific circumstances. the Board of Directors reviews and approves any material transactions 
out of the ordinary course of business, including proposals on acquisitions or other major investments or divestitures, 
as well as capital and operating budgets. Based on current funds available and expected cash flow from operating ac-
tivities, management believes that the Corporation has sufficient funds available to meet its liquidity requirements at any 
point in time. However, if cash from operating activities is lower than expected or capital costs for projects exceed cur-
rent estimates, or if the Corporation incurs major unanticipated expenses, it may be required to seek additional capital in 
the form of debt. there were no changes in the Corporation’s approach to capital management during the year.

the Corporation must adhere to covenants in its operating credit facility. as at December 31, 2013 the Corporation was 
in compliance with these covenants.

29. CONTINGENT LIABILITIES AND COMMITMENTS

In the ordinary course of business activities, the Corporation may be contingently liable for litigation and claims with, 
among other, customers, suppliers and former employees. Management believes that adequate provisions have been 
recorded in the accounts where required. although, it is not possible to accurately estimate the extent of the potential 
costs and losses, if any, management believes, but can provide no assurance, that the ultimate resolution of such contin-
gencies would not have a material adverse effect on the financial position of the Corporation.

at December 31, 2013, capital commitments in respect of purchase of property, plant and equipment totalled $11,867, 
all of which had been ordered. there were no other material capital commitments at the end of the year.
