Defined contribution plans

Defined contribution plan expenses are recorded in the consolidated statement of net income when employees are rendering the services to the Company. Expenses associated with manufacturing employees are included in the cost of inventory produced as described above in paragraph d). Defined contribution plan expenses are entirely presented within operating income.

The Company’s revenues are derived primarily from the sale of products and related parts and accessories. Each sale is considered as a single performance obligation and revenues are recognized when products are shipped, which corresponds to the point in time when the Customers have obtained control of the asset and the Company has satisfied its performance obligation. Revenues are measured at an amount equal to the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled, which takes into account sales promotions and expected returns to occur after the shipment date. A deferred revenue is recognized if the Company receives consideration, or has an unconditional right to receive consideration, prior to the completion of its performance obligation.

When, in addition to the regular warranty coverage, an extended warranty coverage is given with the purchase of the product, a portion of the revenue representing the value of the extended warranty is deferred. The value deferred is based on the stand-alone selling price of both the unit sold and the extended warranty given. The deferred revenue is then recognized over the extended warranty coverage period.

Government assistance, including research and development tax credits, is recorded when the Company is complying with the assistance program requirements and the recovery is reasonably assured. Government assistance received but contingently repayable is recorded in the consolidated statement of net income as long as it is probable that the conditions for repayment will not be met. Government assistance granted to compensate expenses are presented in the consolidated statement of net income as a reduction of the expense they relate to, whereas assistance granted for the acquisition of property, plant and equipment and intangibles is deducted from the cost of the related asset.

The Company grants stock options to officers and employees that are settled by the issuance of common shares. The Company establishes compensation expense for those grants based on the fair value of each tranche of option at the grant date. The compensation expense is recognized in the consolidated statement of net income over the vesting period of each tranche based on the number of options that are ultimately expected to vest. The Company estimates stock option forfeitures at time of grant and revises those estimates in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. The corresponding amount is recorded in contributed surplus within equity.

Other share-based payment plans based on the value of the Company’s common shares are accounted for as cash-settled share-based payment transactions. The total liabilities for these plans are computed based on the estimated number of awards expected to vest at the end of the vesting period. The liabilities are measured at the fair value at the end of each reporting period. The liabilities are accrued and expensed on a straight-line basis over the vesting periods. The liabilities are settled in cash at the end of the vesting period.

The Company’s income tax expense represents the sum of the taxes currently payable based on taxable income of the year, deferred taxes, and tax credits. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the carrying amounts and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted or substantively enacted tax rates and laws expected to be in effect when the differences reverse. Current and deferred income taxes are recognized in the consolidated statement of net income except to the extent it relates to items recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case the related tax is recognized in other comprehensive income or in equity.

Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the net income attributable to equity holders of the Company by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year.

Diluted earnings per share is calculated by adjusting the weighted average number of common shares outstanding to assume conversion of all dilutive potential common shares from stock option plans. For the stock options, a calculation is done to determine the number of shares that could have been acquired at fair value (determined as the average annual share price of the Company’s shares) based on the monetary value of the subscription rights attached to outstanding stock options.

Operating segments are components of an entity that engage in business activities from which they earn revenues and incur expenses (including revenues and expenses related to transactions with the other components of the entity). The related operations can be clearly distinguished and the revenues and gross profit are regularly reviewed by a chief operating decision-maker to make resource allocation decisions and to assess performance.

The assets of a disposal group are classified as held for sale when their carrying amount will be recovered principally through a sale transaction rather than through continuing use. Assets must be available for immediate sale in their present condition and a sale transaction must be highly probable. The assets of a disposal group classified as held for sale are measured at the lower of their carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell, except for assets such as deferred tax assets, assets arising from employee benefits and financial assets which are specifically exempt from this measurement requirement. A disposal group is impaired when its carrying amount is above its fair value less cost of disposal (Note 32).

A disposal group qualifies as discontinued operations if it is a component of the entity that either has been disposed of, or is classified as held for sale, and represents a separate major line of business or geographical area of operations, is part of a single coordinated plan to dispose of such a line of business or area of operations, or is a subsidiary acquired exclusively with a view to resale. Classification as a discontinued operation occurs at the earlier of the date on which an operation meets the criteria to be classified as held for sale or disposal.

The assets of a disposal group classified as held for sale are presented separately from the other assets in the consolidated statement of financial position. The liabilities of a disposal group classified as held for sale are presented separately from other liabilities in the consolidated statement of financial position.

The

assets of a disposal group are not depreciated or amortized while they are classified as held for sale. Interest and other expenses attributable to the liabilities of a disposal group classified as held for sale continue to be recognized.

Discontinued operations are excluded from the results of continuing operations and are presented as a single amount of net income from discontinued operations in the consolidated income statement and a single amount of comprehensive income from discontinued operations in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income.

When an operation is classified as a discontinued operation, the comparative consolidated income statement is reclassified as if the operation had been discontinued from the beginning of the comparative year.

When a component ceases to be classified as

held-for-sale,

the related operations are reclassified as continued operations. The operations are presented as continued operations in the current period and prior periods are reclassified consistently.

The preparation of these consolidated financial statements in accordance with the Company’s accounting policies requires management to make estimates and judgments that can affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, related amounts of revenues and expenses, other comprehensive income and disclosures made.

The Company’s best estimates are based on the information, facts and circumstances available at the time estimates are made. Management uses historical experience and information, general economic conditions and trends, as well as assumptions regarding probable future outcomes as the basis for determining estimates. Estimates and their underlying assumptions are reviewed periodically and the effects of any changes are recognized immediately. Actual results could differ from the estimates used and such differences could be significant.

The Company’s annual operating budget and operating budget revisions performed during the year (collectively “Budget”) and the Company’s strategic plan comprise fundamental information used as a basis for some significant estimates necessary to prepare these consolidated financial statements. Management prepares the annual operating budget and strategic plan each year using a process whereby a detailed

one-year

budget and three-year strategic plan are prepared by each entity and then consolidated.

Cash flows and profitability included in the Budget are based on the existing and future expected sales orders, general market conditions, current cost structures, anticipated cost variations and current agreements with third parties. Management uses the annual operating budget information as well as additional projections or assumptions to derive the expected results for the strategic plan and periods thereafter.

The Budget and the strategic plan are approved by management and the Board of Directors. Management then tracks performance as compared to the Budget. Significant variances in actual performance are a key trigger to assess whether certain estimates used in the preparation of financial information must be revised.

Management needs to rely on estimates in order to apply the Company’s accounting policies and considers that the most critical ones are the following:
