Toromont reported strong results in the fourth quarter with net earnings from continuing operations increasing 31%, reflecting strong growth in product support, rental activities and improved margins due to sales mix. For the year, net earnings increased 17% on the same factors as well as higher new equipment deliveries.
"We are very pleased with our results for the quarter and year. Revenues from equipment, product support and rentals were at record levels for the full year and were at or near record levels for the quarter," said
Considering the success achieved in 2012, solid financial position and positive long-term outlook the Board of Directors increased the quarterly dividend to
Highlights:
-- Net earnings from continuing operations were$44.9 million in the quarter ($0.59 per share basic), up 31% from$34.2 million reported in the same quarter last year. The improvement resulted from higher gross margins, an improved expense ratio, higher revenues and a lower statutory income tax rate. -- For the full year, net earnings from continuing operations were$120.6 million ($1.57 per share basic), 17% higher than 2011. Higher revenues, an improved expense ratio, higher gross margins and a reduction in statutory income tax rates contributed to the improvement. --Equipment Group revenues of$367 million were down 1% in the fourth quarter versus the similar period of 2011 on lower new and used equipment sales. Product support and rental revenues were at record levels for the quarter, up 29% and 26% respectively from the fourth quarter of 2011. Operating income increased 23% in the quarter compared to last year on higher gross margins resulting from improved sales mix, with a higher proportion of product support activities in the current period, and higher heavy and light rental fleet utilization. Investments in the rental fleet continue to gain traction. Gross margin improvement was partially offset by higher expense levels and lower revenues. --Equipment Group revenues were$1.3 billion for 2012, 9% higher than last year with records in equipment sales, product support and rental. Revenue growth resulted largely from increased mining activity in our markets. Operating income increased 16% year-over-year on higher revenues, improved gross margin (largely on sales mix) and a lower expense ratio. --Equipment Group backlogs were$128 million at the end of 2012 compared to$224 million at this time last year. Significant mining deliveries in the year drew down the order backlog. Bookings of$156 million in the fourth quarter were 1% lower than the fourth quarter of 2011. Bookings in 2012 totalled$614 million compared to$635 million in the prior year. -- CIMCO had excellent results for the fourth quarter with revenues of$64 million and operating income of$4.4 million , up from$37 million and$1.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2011. Significant industrial package sales revenues in the fourth quarter of 2012 exceeded the expected decline in recreational package sales. Product support sales were also strong, up 14%. -- CIMCO revenues for the year were a record at$197 million , up 6% from 2011. Package sales and product support both reported increases. Higher industrial revenue exceeded the expected decline in recreational. Operating income increased 3% for the year, reaching$14.3 million or 7.2% of revenues. Increased income driven by higher revenues was partially offset by lower gross margins. -- CIMCO bookings were$23 million in the fourth quarter of 2012 compared to$27 million for the same period last year. Bookings for the year were$162 million , 78% higher than 2011 on a significant order from Maple Leaf Foods. Even excluding this order, bookings for the year were up 25%. Backlogs were$99 million atDecember 31, 2012 , up 94% over 2011. -- Net earnings were$44.9 million in the quarter ($0.59 per share basic) and$120.6 million ($1.57 per share basic) for the year. Return on opening shareholders' equity was 30.1% and return on capital employed was 28.7%. -- The Company maintained a strong financial position. Total debt net of cash to total capitalization was 25%, well within stated capital targets.
"Toromont is well positioned entering 2013 with momentum in product support and rental activities, increased equipment populations including large mining units, record backlogs at CIMCO and a strong balance sheet," continued

CORPORATE PROFILE AND BUSINESS SEGMENTATION
As at
Toromont has two reportable operating segments: the
CIMCO is a market leader in the design, engineering, fabrication, installation and after-sale support of refrigeration systems in industrial and recreational markets. Results of CIMCO are influenced by conditions in the primary market segments served: beverage and food processing; cold storage; food distribution; mining; and recreational ice surfaces. CIMCO offers systems designed to optimize energy usage through proprietary products such as
PRIMARY OBJECTIVE AND MAJOR STRATEGIES
A primary objective of the Company is to build shareholder value through sustainable and profitable growth, supported by a strong financial foundation. To guide its activities in pursuit of this objective, Toromont works toward specific, long-term financial goals (see section heading "Key Performance Measures" in this MD&A) and each of its operating groups consistently employs the following broad strategies:
Expand Markets
Toromont serves diverse markets that offer significant long-term potential for profitable expansion. Each operating group strives to achieve or maintain leading positions in markets served. Incremental revenues are derived from improved coverage, market share gains and geographic expansion. Expansion of the installed base of equipment provides the foundation for product support growth and leverages the fixed costs associated with the Company's infrastructure.
Strengthen Product Support
Toromont's parts and service business is a significant contributor to overall profitability and serves to stabilize results through economic downturns. Product support activities also represent opportunities to develop closer relationships with customers and differentiate the Company's product and service offering. The ability to consistently meet or exceed customers' expectations for service efficiency and quality is critical, as after-market support is an integral part of the customer's decision-making process when purchasing equipment.
Broaden Product Offerings
Toromont delivers specialized capital equipment to a diverse range of customers and industries. Collectively, hundreds of thousands of different parts are offered through the Company's distribution channels. The Company expands its customer base through selectively extending product lines and capabilities. In support of this strategy, Toromont represents product lines that are considered leading and generally best-in-class from suppliers and business partners who continually expand and develop their offerings. Strong relationships with suppliers and business partners are critical in achieving growth objectives.
Invest in Resources
The combined knowledge and experience of Toromont's people is a key competitive advantage. Growth is dependent on attracting, retaining and developing employees with values that are consistent with Toromont's. A highly principled culture, share ownership and profitability based incentive programs result in a close alignment of employee and shareholder interests. By investing in employee training and development, the capabilities and productivity of employees continually improve to better serve shareholders, customers and business partners.
Toromont's information technology represents another competitive differentiator in the marketplace. The Company's selective investments in technology, inclusive of e-commerce initiatives, strengthen customer service capabilities, generate new opportunities for growth, drive efficiency and increase returns to shareholders.
Maintain a Strong Financial Position
A strong, well-capitalized balance sheet creates security and financial flexibility, and has contributed to the Company's long-term track record of profitable growth. It is also fundamental to the Company's future success.

Despite continued global economic uncertainly, demand for the Company's products and services remained strong.
New equipment sales increased largely due to increased sales of larger, higher value units.
Used equipment sales include sales of used equipment purchased for resale, equipment received on trade-in and sales of Company owned rental fleet. Used tractor equipment sales were lower year-over-year mainly due to reduced sales from the Company's rental fleet. Tractor used purchased sales were flat to prior year. Used equipment sales vary on factors such as product availability (both new and used), customer demands and the general pricing environment.
Rental revenues were higher on increased investment and improved utilization. The Company invested
Power generation revenues from Toromont-owned plants were lower, largely reflecting decreased operating hours at the Waterloo facility due to a reduced availability of landfill gas.
Product support revenues were a record in 2012, 16% higher than the previous record set in 2011. Product support revenues in 2012 benefited from an increased installed base of equipment in our territory coupled with higher utilization of equipment. Most markets have seen higher product support activity year-over-year.
Operating income was up, in part reflecting the 9% increase in revenues. Gross margin as a percentage of revenues increased 40 basis points compared to 2011 on sales mix, with a larger proportion of product support revenues to total in the current year. Equipment gross margin was lower in the year on competitive market conditions, offset by improved product support gross margins. Selling and administrative expenses increased 7% on the 9% increase in revenues. Higher costs were reported across a number of areas including compensation, freight, training and occupancy. Operating income as a percentage of revenues was 11.9% in 2012 versus 11.2% in 2011.

Goodwill and Intangibles
The Company performs impairment tests on its goodwill and intangibles on an annual basis or as warranted by events or circumstances. The assessment of goodwill entails estimating the fair value of operations to which the goodwill relates using the present value of expected discounted future cash flows. This assessment affirmed goodwill values as at
Employee Share Ownership
The Company employs a variety of stock-based compensation plans to align employees' interests with corporate objectives.
The Company maintains an Executive Stock Option Plan for certain employees and directors. Stock options have a seven-year term, vest 20% cumulatively on each anniversary date of the grant and are exercisable at the designated common share price. At
The Company offers an Employee Share Ownership Plan whereby employees can purchase shares by way of payroll deductions. Under the terms of this plan, eligible employees may purchase common shares of the Company in the open market at the then current market price. The Company pays a portion of the purchase price, matching contributions at a rate of
The Company also offers a deferred share unit (DSU) plan for certain employees and non-employee directors, whereby they may elect, on an annual basis, to receive all or a portion of their performance incentive bonus or fees, respectively, in deferred share units. A DSU is a notional unit that reflects the market value of a single Toromont common share and generally vests immediately. DSUs will be redeemed on cessation of employment or directorship. DSUs have dividend equivalent rights, which are expensed as earned. The Company records the cost of the DSU Plan as compensation expense.

Employee Future Benefits
The Company sponsors pension arrangements for substantially all of its employees, primarily through defined contribution plans in
Approximately 130 employees participate in one of two defined benefit plans:
--Powell Plan - Consists of personnel of Powell Equipment (acquired by Toromont in 2001); and -- Other plan assets and obligations - Provides for certain retirees and terminated vested employees of businesses previously acquired by the Company as well as for retired participants of the defined contribution plan who, in accordance with the plan provisions, have elected to receive a pension directly from the plan.
The Company also has a defined benefit pension arrangement for certain senior executives that provides for a supplementary retirement payout in excess of amounts provided for under the registered plan. This Executive Plan is a non-contributory pension arrangement and is solely the obligation of the Company. The Company is not obligated to fund this plan but is obligated to pay benefits under the terms of the plan as they come due. The Company has posted letters of credit to secure the obligations under this plan, which were
Financial markets continued to be volatile in 2012. The return on plan assets was
The Company estimates a long-term return on plan assets of 7%. While there is no assurance that the plan will be able to generate this assumed rate of return each year, management believes that it is a reasonable longer-term estimate.
A key assumption in pension accounting is the discount rate. This rate is set with regard to the yield on high-quality corporate bonds of similar average duration to the cash flow liabilities of the Plans. Yields are volatile and can deviate significantly from period to period.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
The Company does not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have, or are reasonably likely to have, a current or future effect on its results of operations or financial condition.
Legal and Other Contingencies
Due to the size, complexity and nature of the Company's operations, various legal matters are pending. Exposure to these claims is mitigated through levels of insurance coverage considered appropriate by management and by active management of these matters. In the opinion of management, none of these matters will have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial position or results of operations.
Normal Course Issuer Bid
Toromont believes that, from time to time, the purchase of its common shares at prevailing market prices may be a worthwhile investment and in the best interests of both Toromont and its shareholders. As such, the normal course issuer bid with the TSX was renewed in 2012. This issuer bid allows the Company to purchase up to approximately 6.4 million of its common shares, representing 10% of common shares in the public float, in the year ending

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Sources of Liquidity
Toromont's liquidity requirements can be met through a variety of sources, including cash generated from operations, long- and short-term borrowings and the issuance of common shares. Borrowings are obtained through a variety of senior debentures, notes payable and committed long-term credit facilities.
The Company amended its Canadian credit facility in conjunction with the spinoff of Enerflex and commensurate with anticipated future requirements. Outstanding borrowings under the previous facility were repaid in part from funds received relating to inter-company borrowings on spinoff. The committed amount was reduced from

OUTLOOK
The substantial growth in product support, fueled by the increased installed base in the
Within the
Although market signals are mixed, engagement levels remain high with respect to mining projects in Toromont's territories. The product support contribution and opportunity is expected to continue to grow, however it is not anticipated that 2013 will see a replication of the record 2012 equipment sales into mining projects. The opportunity is high for a resumption of significant deliveries into 2014 and beyond, dependent on projects advancing and Toromont's success in winning the business. The timing of mining projects is expected to have an impact on the earnings pattern.
The parts and service business has seen significant growth and provides a measure of stability, driven by the larger installed base of equipment in the field. The number of technicians has increased, service shops are very active and work-in-process levels remain strong.
Toromont's expanded product offering contributes to growth on multiple fronts. Firstly, the

KEY PERFORMANCE MEASURES
Management reviews and monitors its activities and the performance indicators it believes are critical to measuring success. Some of the key financial performance measures are summarized in the following table. Others include, but are not limited to, measures such as market share, fleet utilization, customer and employee satisfaction and employee health and safety.

While the global recession interrupted the steady string of growth across key performance measures, profitability endured and the balance sheet continued to strengthen. This has been discussed at length throughout this MD&A.
Measuring Toromont's results against these strategies over the past five years illustrates that the Company has made significant progress.
Since 2008, revenues increased at an average annual rate of 4.1%. Product support revenue growth has averaged 6.9% annually. Revenue growth in continuing operations has been a result of:
-- Increased customer demand in certain market segments, most notably mining; -- Additional product offerings over the years from Caterpillar and other suppliers; -- Organic growth through increased rental fleet size and additional branches; -- Increased customer demand for formal product support agreements; -- Governmental funding programs such as the RinC program which provided support for recreational spending; and -- Acquisitions, primarily within theEquipment Group's rental operations.
Over the same five-year period, revenue growth has been constrained at times by a number of factors including:
-- General economic weakness, which has negatively impacted revenues since the latter part of 2008 through to early 2010; -- Inability to source equipment from suppliers to meet customer demand or delivery schedules; and -- Declines in underlying market conditions such as depressed US industrial markets.
Changes in the Canadian/U.S. exchange rate also impacts reported revenues as the exchange rate impacts on the purchase price of equipment that in turn is reflected in selling prices.
Toromont has generated significant competitive advantage over the past years by investing in its resources, in part to increase productivity levels.
Toromont continues to maintain a strong balance sheet. Leverage, as represented by the ratio of total debt, net of cash, to total capitalization (net debt plus shareholders' equity), was 25%, well within targeted levels.
Toromont has a history of progressive earnings per share growth. This trend was not continued in 2009 due to the weak economic environment, which reduced revenues. In 2010, earnings per share were negatively impacted by the issuance of shares in the year for the acquisition of ESIF. In 2011, on a continuing operations basis, earnings per share increased 32.5%, in line with earnings growth. In 2012, EPS increased 18% on a continuing operations basis.
Toromont has paid dividends consistently since 1968, and has increased the dividend in each of the last 22 years. In 2012, the regular quarterly dividend rate was increased 9% from

New and used equipment sales decreased as significant deliveries to mining customers in the fourth quarter of 2011 were not matched in the current year. This accounted for approximately 75% of the decline, with no one market being a significant component of the balance.
Rental revenues increased sizeably on a larger rental fleet and higher fleet utilization. All categories of rentals were higher including light equipment, heavy equipment, equipment on rent with purchase options and power. Rental rates have been largely consistent with the prior year, with continuing competitive market conditions.
Product support revenues achieved record levels due to double-digit growth in both parts and service. Improved market conditions and a larger installed base of equipment in territory combined with marketing initiatives have driven higher activity levels.
Operating income increased on improved gross margins. Gross margins were up 340 basis points in the quarter on sales mix, with a higher proportion of product support and rentals to total. Rental margins improved on higher utilization. Selling and administrative expenses were 2% higher than the comparable quarter last year, on higher compensation and bad debt expense offset by lower marketing expenses. Operating income as a percentage of revenues was 15.6% compared to 12.6% in the fourth quarter of 2011.

Interim period revenues and earnings historically reflect significant variability from quarter to quarter.
CIMCO also has historically had a distinct seasonal trend in results due to timing of construction activity. Prior to the increase in activities associated with the recent Federal stimulus program, CIMCO had traditionally posted a loss in the first quarter. Profitability increased in subsequent quarters as activity levels and resultant revenues increased.
As a result of the historical seasonal sales trends, inventories increase through the year in order to meet the expected demand for delivery in the fourth quarter of the fiscal year, while accounts receivable are highest at year end.

RISKS AND RISK MANAGEMENT
In the normal course of business, Toromont is exposed to risks that may potentially impact its financial results in any or all of its business segments. The Company and each operating segment employ risk management strategies with a view to mitigating these risks on a cost-effective basis.
Business Cycle
Expenditures on capital goods have historically been cyclical, reflecting a variety of factors including interest rates, foreign exchange rates, consumer and business confidence, commodity prices, corporate profits, credit conditions and the availability of capital to finance purchases. Toromont's customers are typically affected, to varying degrees, by these factors and trends in the general business cycle within their respective markets. As a result, Toromont's financial performance is affected by the impact of such business cycles on the Company's customer base.
Commodity prices, and, in particular, changes in the view on long-term trends, affect demand for the Company's products and services in the
The business of the Company is diversified across a wide range of industry market segments, serving to temper the effects of business cycles on consolidated results. Continued diversification strategies such as expanding the Company's customer base, broadening product offerings and geographic diversification are designed to moderate business cycle impacts. The Company has focused on the sale of specialized equipment and ongoing support through parts distribution and skilled service. Product support growth has been, and will continue to be, fundamental to the mitigation of downturns in the business cycle. The product support business contributes significantly higher profit margins and is typically subject to less volatility than equipment supply activities.
Product and Supply
Toromont is dependent on the continued market acceptance of Caterpillar's products. It is believed that Caterpillar has a solid reputation as a high-quality manufacturer, with excellent brand recognition and customer support as well as leading market shares in many of the markets it serves. However, there can be no assurance that Caterpillar will be able to maintain its reputation and market position in the future. Any resulting decrease in the demand for Caterpillar products could have a material adverse impact on the Company's business, results of operations and future prospects.
Toromont is also dependent on Caterpillar for timely supply of equipment and parts. From time to time during periods of intense demand, Caterpillar may find it necessary to allocate its supply of particular products among its dealers. Such allocations of supply have not, in the past, proven to be a significant impediment in the conduct of business. However, there can be no assurance that Caterpillar will continue to supply its products in the quantities and timeframes required by customers.
Competition
The Company competes with a large number of international, national, regional and local suppliers in each of its markets. Although price competition can be strong, there are a number of factors that have enhanced the Company's ability to compete throughout its market areas including: the range and quality of products and services; ability to meet sophisticated customer requirements; distribution capabilities including number and proximity of locations; financing offered by Caterpillar Finance; e-commerce solutions; reputation and financial strength.
Increased competitive pressures or the inability of the Company to maintain the factors that have enhanced its competitive position to date could adversely affect the Company's business, results of operations or financial condition.
The Company relies on the skills and availability of trained and experienced tradesmen and technicians in order to provide efficient and appropriate services to customers. Hiring and retaining such individuals is critical to the success of these businesses. Demographic trends are reducing the number of individuals entering the trades, making access to skilled individuals more difficult. The Company has several remote locations which make attracting and retaining skilled individuals more difficult.
Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of cash equivalents, accounts receivable and derivative financial instruments. The carrying amount of assets included on the balance sheet represents the maximum credit exposure.
When the Company has cash on hand it may be invested in short-term instruments, such as money market deposits. The Company manages its credit exposure associated with cash equivalents by ensuring there is no significant concentration of credit risk with a single counterparty, and by dealing only with highly rated financial institutions as counterparties.
The Company has accounts receivable from a large diversified customer base, and is not dependent on any single customer or industry. The Company has accounts receivable from customers engaged in various industries including construction, mining, food and beverage, and governmental agencies. Management does not believe that any single industry represents significant credit risk. These customers are based predominately in
The credit risk associated with derivative financial instruments arises from the possibility that the counterparties may default on their obligations. In order to minimize this risk, the Company enters into derivative transactions only with highly rated financial institutions.
Warranties and Maintenance Contracts
Toromont provides warranties for most of the equipment it sells, typically for a one-year period following sale. The warranty claim risk is generally shared jointly with the equipment manufacturer. Accordingly, liability is generally limited to the service component of the warranty claim, while the manufacturer is responsible for providing the required parts.
The Company also enters into long-term maintenance and repair contracts, whereby it is obligated to maintain equipment for its customers. The length of these contracts varies generally from two to five years. The contracts are typically fixed price on either machine hours or cost per hour, with provisions for inflationary and exchange adjustments. Due to the long-term nature of these contracts, there is a risk that maintenance costs may exceed the estimate, thereby resulting in a loss on the contract. These contracts are closely monitored for early warning signs of cost overruns. In addition, the manufacturer may, in certain circumstances, share in the cost overruns if profitability falls below a certain threshold.
Foreign Exchange
The rate of exchange between the Canadian and U.S. dollar has an impact on revenue trends. The Canadian dollar averaged on par with the U.S. dollar in 2012 compared to US
The Company transacts business in multiple currencies, the most significant of which are the Canadian dollar and the U.S. dollar. As a result, the Company has foreign currency exposure with respect to items denominated in foreign currencies.
The Company sources the majority of its products and major components from
In addition, pricing to customers is customarily adjusted to reflect changes in the Canadian dollar landed cost of imported goods. Foreign exchange contracts reduce volatility by fixing landed costs related to specific customer orders and establishing a level of price stability for high-volume goods such as spare parts.
The Company does not enter into foreign exchange forward contracts for speculative purposes. The gains and losses on the foreign exchange forward contracts designated as cash flow hedges are intended to offset the translation losses and gains on the hedged foreign currency transactions when they occur.
As a result, the foreign exchange impact on earnings with respect to transactional activity is not significant.
Interest Rate
The Company minimizes its interest rate risk by managing its portfolio of floating and fixed rate debt, as well as managing the term to maturity.
At
The Company's fixed rate debt matures between 2015 and 2019.
Further, the fair value of the Company's fixed rate debt obligations may be negatively affected by declines in interest rates, thereby exposing the Company to potential losses on early settlements or refinancing. The Company does not intend to settle or refinance any existing debt before maturity.
Financing Arrangements
The Company requires capital to finance its growth and to refinance its outstanding debt obligations as they come due for repayment. If the cash generated from the Company's business, together with the credit available under existing bank facilities, is not sufficient to fund future capital requirements, the Company will require additional debt or equity financing in the capital markets. The Company's ability to access capital markets on terms that are acceptable will be dependent upon prevailing market conditions, as well as the Company's future financial condition. Further, the Company's ability to increase its debt financing may be limited by its financial covenants or its credit rating objectives. The Company maintains a conservative leverage structure and although it does not anticipate difficulties, there can be no assurance that capital will be available on suitable terms and conditions, or that borrowing costs and credit ratings will not be adversely affected.
Environmental Regulation
Toromont's customers are subject to significant and ever-increasing environmental legislation and regulation. This legislation can impact Toromont in two ways. First, it may increase the technical difficulty in meeting environmental requirements in product design, which could increase the cost of these businesses' products. Second, it may result in a reduction in activity by Toromont's customers in environmentally sensitive areas, in turn reducing the sales opportunities available to Toromont.
Toromont is also subject to a broad range of environmental laws and regulations. These may, in certain circumstances, impose strict liability for environmental contamination, which may render Toromont liable for remediation costs, natural resource damages and other damages as a result of conduct that was lawful at the time it occurred or the conduct of, or conditions caused by, prior owners, operators or other third parties. In addition, where contamination may be present, it is not uncommon for neighbouring land owners and other third parties to file claims for personal injury, property damage and recovery of response costs. Remediation costs and other damages arising as a result of environmental laws and regulations, and costs associated with new information, changes in existing environmental laws and regulations or the adoption of new environmental laws and regulations could be substantial and could negatively impact Toromont's business, results of operations or financial condition.
Spinoff Transaction Risk
Although the spinoff of Enerflex as a separate, publicly traded company is complete, the transaction exposes Toromont to certain ongoing risks. The spinoff was structured to comply with all the requirements of the public company "butterfly rules" in the Income Tax Act. However, there are certain requirements of these rules that depend on events occurring after completion of the spinoff or that may not be within the control of Toromont and/or Enerflex. If these requirements are not met, Toromont could be exposed to significant tax liabilities which could have a material effect on the financial position of Toromont. In addition, Toromont has agreed to indemnify Enerflex for certain liabilities and obligations related to its business at the time of the spinoff. These indemnification obligations could be significant. These risks are more fully described in the Management Information Circular
relating to the Plan of Arrangement dated
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
The Company's significant accounting policies are described in Note 1 to the unaudited consolidated interim financial statements.
The preparation of the Company's consolidated financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities, and the disclosure of contingent liabilities, at the end of the reporting period. However, uncertainty about these assumptions and estimates could result in outcomes that require a material adjustment to the carrying amount of the asset or liability affected in future periods.
In making estimates and judgments, management relies on external information and observable conditions where possible, supplemented by internal analysis as required. Management reviews its estimates and judgements on an ongoing basis.
In the process of applying the Company's accounting policies, management has made the following judgments, estimates and assumptions which have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in the consolidated financial statements. The critical accounting policies and estimates described below affect the operating segments similarly, and therefore are not discussed on a segmented basis.
Property, Plant and Equipment
Fixed assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation, including asset impairment losses. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The estimated useful lives of fixed assets are reviewed on an annual basis. Assessing the reasonableness of the estimated useful lives of fixed assets requires judgment and is based on currently available information.
Fixed assets are also reviewed for potential impairment on a regular basis or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. In cases where the undiscounted expected future cash flows are less than the carrying amount, an impairment loss is recognized. Impairment losses on long-lived assets are measured as the amount by which the carrying value of an asset or asset group exceeds its fair value, as determined by the discounted future cash flows of the asset or asset group. In estimating future cash flows, the Company uses its best estimates based on internal plans that incorporate management's judgments as to the remaining service potential of the fixed assets. Changes in circumstances, such as technological advances and changes to business strategy can result in actual useful lives and future cash flows differing significantly from estimates. The assumptions used, including rates and methodologies, are reviewed on an ongoing basis to ensure they continue to be appropriate. Revisions to the estimated useful lives of fixed assets or future cash flows constitute a change in accounting estimate and are applied prospectively.
Income Taxes
Income tax rules and regulations in the countries in which the Company operates and income tax treaties between these countries are subject to interpretation and require estimates and assumptions in determining the Company's consolidated income tax provision that may be challenged by the taxation authorities.
Estimates and judgments are made for uncertainties which exist with respect to the interpretation of complex tax regulations, changes in tax laws and the amount and timing of future taxable income. Changes or differences in these estimates or assumptions may result in changes to the current or deferred tax balances on the consolidated statement of financial position, a charge or credit to income tax expense in the income statement and may result in cash payments or receipts.
Impairment of Non-financial Assets
Impairment exists when the carrying value of an asset or cash generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount, which is the higher of its fair value less costs to sell and its value in use. The fair value less costs to sell calculation is based on available data from binding sales transactions in an arm's length transaction of similar assets or observable market prices less incremental costs for disposing of the asset. The value in use calculation is based on a discounted cash flow model. The cash flows are derived from the budget for the next five years and do not include restructuring activities that the Company is not yet committed to or significant future investments that will enhance the asset's performance of the cash generating unit being tested. The recoverable amount is most sensitive to the discount rate used for the discounted cash flow model as well as the expected future cash inflows and the growth rate used for extrapolation purposes.
Revenue Recognition
The Company generates revenue from the assembly and manufacture of equipment using the percentage-of-completion method. This method requires management to make a number of estimates and assumptions surrounding: the expected profitability of the contract; the estimated degree of completion based on cost progression; and other detailed factors. Although these factors are routinely reviewed as part of the project management process, changes in these estimates or assumptions could lead to changes in the revenues recognized in a given period.
The Company also generates revenue from long-term maintenance and repair contracts whereby it is obligated to maintain equipment for its customers. The contracts are typically fixed price on either machine hours or cost per hour, with provisions for inflationary and exchange adjustments. Revenue is recognized using the percentage-of-completion method based on work completed. This method requires management to make a number of estimates and assumptions surrounding: machine usage; machine performance; future parts and labour pricing; manufacturers' warranty coverage; and other detailed factors. These factors are routinely reviewed as part of the contract management process; however changes in these estimates or assumptions could lead to changes in the revenues and cost of goods sold recognized in a given period.
Inventories
Management is required to make an assessment of the net realizable value of inventory at each reporting period. Management incorporates estimates and judgments that take into account current market prices, current economic trends and past experiences in the measurement of net realizable value.
Employee Future Benefits Expense
The net obligations associated with the defined benefit pension plans are actuarially valued using: the projected unit credit method; management's best estimates for long-term expected rate of return on assets; salary escalation and life expectancy; and a current market discount rate. All assumptions are reviewed at each reporting date.
Share-based Compensation
Estimating the fair value for share-based payment transactions requires determining the most appropriate inputs to the valuation model including: the expected life of the share option; volatility; and dividend yield.

RESPONSIBILITY OF MANAGEMENT AND THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
Management is responsible for the information disclosed in this MD&A and the accompanying consolidated financial statements, and has in place appropriate information systems, procedures and controls to ensure that information used internally by management and disclosed externally is materially complete and reliable. In addition, the Company's Audit Committee, on behalf of the Board of Directors, provides an oversight role with respect to all public financial disclosures made by the Company, and has reviewed and approved this MD&A and the accompanying consolidated financial statements. The Audit Committee is also responsible for determining that management fulfills its responsibilities in the financial control of operations, including disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting.
DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES AND INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
The Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, together with other members of management, have evaluated the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures and internal controls over financial reporting as at
There have been no changes in the design of the Company's internal controls over financial reporting during 2012 that would materially affect, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal controls over financial reporting.
While the Officers of the Company have evaluated the effectiveness of disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting as at
NON-IFRS FINANCIAL MEASURES
The success of the Company and business unit strategies is measured using a number of key performance indicators, which are outlined below. These measures are also used by management in its assessment of relative investments in operations. These key performance indicators are not measurements in accordance with IFRS. It is possible that these measures will not be comparable to similar measures prescribed by other companies. They should not be considered as an alternative to net income or any other measure of performance under IFRS.
Operating Income and Operating Margin
Each business segment assumes responsibility for its operating results as measured by, amongst other factors, operating income, which is defined as income before income taxes, interest income and interest expense. Financing and related interest charges cannot be attributed to business segments on a meaningful basis that is comparable to other companies. Business segments and income tax jurisdictions are not synonymous, and it is believed that the allocation of income taxes distorts the historical comparability of the performance of the business segments. Consolidated and segmented operating income is reconciled to net earnings in tables where used in this MD&A.
Operating income margin is calculated by dividing operating income by total revenue.
Return on Equity and Return on Capital Employed
Return on equity ("ROE") is monitored to assess the profitability of the consolidated Company. ROE is calculated by dividing net earnings by opening shareholders' equity (adjusted for shares issued and redeemed during the year). Opening shareholders' equity in 2011 was also adjusted to remove both net earnings and equity associated with discontinued operations.
Return on capital employed ("ROCE") is a key performance indicator that is utilized to assess both current operating performance and prospective investments. The numerator used for the calculation is income before income taxes, interest expense and interest income (excluding interest on rental conversions). The denominator in the calculation is the monthly average capital employed, which is defined as net debt plus shareholders' equity.
Working Capital and
Working capital is defined as current assets less current liabilities. Non-cash working capital is defined as working capital less cash and equivalents.
Net Debt to Total Capitalization
Net debt is defined as total long-term debt less cash and cash equivalents. Total capitalization is defined as net debt plus shareholders' equity. The ratio of net debt to total capitalization is determined by dividing net debt by total capitalization.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited)
($ thousands except where otherwise indicated)
1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Corporate Information
Toromont operates through two business segments:
Statement of Compliance
These consolidated unaudited financial statements are prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS"), as issued by the
These consolidated unaudited financial statements were authorized for issue by the Audit Committee of the Board of the Directors on
Basis of Preparation
These consolidated financial statements were prepared on a historical cost basis, except for derivative instruments that have been measured at fair value. The consolidated financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars and all values are rounded to the nearest thousands, except where otherwise indicated.
Basis of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries.
Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date of acquisition, being the date on which the Company obtains control, and continue to be consolidated until the date that such control ceases. The financial statements of the subsidiaries are prepared for the same reporting period as the parent company, using consistent accounting policies. All intra-group balances, income and expenses and unrealized gains and losses resulting from intra-group transactions are eliminated in full.
Non-controlling interests represent the portion of net earnings and net assets that is not held by the Company and are presented separately in the consolidated income statements and within equity in the consolidated statements of financial position.
Business Combinations and Goodwill
Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method. The cost of an acquisition is measured as the aggregate of consideration transferred, measured at acquisition date fair value. Acquisition costs are expensed as incurred.
Goodwill is initially measured at cost, being the excess of the cost of the business combination over the Company's share in the net fair value of the acquiree's identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities. If the cost of acquisition is less than the fair value of the net assets of the subsidiary acquired, the difference is recognized directly in the consolidated income statements.
After initial recognition, goodwill is measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill acquired in a business combination is, from the acquisition date, allocated to each of the Company's cash-generating units ("CGUs") that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination, irrespective of whether other assets or liabilities of the acquiree are assigned to those units.
Where goodwill forms part of a CGU and part of the operation within that unit is disposed of, the goodwill associated with the operation disposed of is included in the carrying amount of the operation when determining the gain or loss on disposal of the operation. Goodwill disposed of in this circumstance is measured based on the relative fair values of the operation disposed of and the portion of the CGU retained.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents consist of petty cash, demand deposits and short-term deposits with an original maturity of three months or less. Cash and cash equivalents are recorded at cost, which approximates market value.
Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable are amounts due from customers for merchandise sold or services performed in the ordinary course of business. If collection is expected in one year or less (or in the normal operating cycle of the business, if longer), they are classified as current assets. If not, they are presented as non-current assets.
Accounts receivable are recognized initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment.
The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts to provide for impairment of trade receivables. The expense relating to doubtful accounts is included within "Selling and administrative expenses" in the consolidated income statements.
Inventories
Inventories are valued at the lower of cost and net realizable value.
Cost of equipment, repair and distribution parts and direct materials include purchase cost and costs incurred in bringing each product to its present location and condition. Serialized inventory is determined on a specific-item basis. Non-serialized inventory is determined based on a weighted-average actual cost.
Cost of work-in-process includes cost of direct materials, labour and an allocation of manufacturing overheads, excluding borrowing costs, based on normal operating capacity.
Cost of inventories includes the transfer of gains and losses on qualifying cash flow hedges, recognized in other comprehensive income, in respect of the purchase of inventory.
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.
Property, Plant and Equipment
Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost, net of accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any.
Depreciation is recognized principally on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Estimated useful lives range from 20 to 30 years for buildings, three to 10 years for equipment and 20 years for power generation assets. Leasehold improvements and lease inducements are amortized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Land is not depreciated.
The assets' residual values, useful lives and methods of depreciation are reviewed at each financial year end and adjusted prospectively, if appropriate.
Rental Equipment
Rental equipment is recorded at cost, net of accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any. Depreciation is recognized principally on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which range from one to 10 years.
Intangible Assets
Intangible assets acquired separately are measured on initial recognition at cost. Following initial recognition, intangible assets are carried at cost less any accumulated amortization and accumulated impairments losses. The useful lives of intangible assets are assessed as either finite or indefinite. The assessment of indefinite life is reviewed annually to determine whether the indefinite life continues to be supportable. Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are not amortized, but are tested for impairment annually.
Provisions
Provisions are recognized when the Company has a present obligation, legal or constructive, as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.
Provisions for warranty costs are recognized when the product is sold or service provided. Initial recognition is based on historical experience.
Financial Instruments
The Company determines the classification of its financial assets and liabilities at initial recognition. Initially, all financial assets and liabilities are recognized at fair value. Regular-way trades of financial assets and liabilities are recognized on the trade date. Transaction costs are expensed as incurred except for loans and receivables and loans and borrowings, in which case transaction costs are included in initial cost.
Financial Assets
Subsequent measurement of financial assets depends on the classification. The Company has made the following classifications:
-- Cash and cash equivalents are classified as held for trading and as such are measured at fair value, with changes in fair value being included in profit or loss. -- Accounts receivable are classified as loans and receivables and are recorded at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method, less provisions for doubtful accounts. -- Derivatives are classified as held for trading and are measured at fair value with changes in fair value being included in profit or loss, unless they are designated as effective hedging instruments, in which case changes in fair value are included in other comprehensive income.
The Company assesses at each statement of financial position date whether there is any objective evidence that a financial asset or a group of financial assets is impaired.
Financial Liabilities
Subsequent measurement of financial liabilities depends on the classification. The Company has made the following classifications:
-- Accounts payable and accrued liabilities are classified as financial liabilities held for trading and as such are measured at fair value, with changes in fair value being included in profit or loss. -- Long-term debt is classified as loans and borrowings and as such is subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method. Discounts, premiums and fees on acquisition are taken into account in determining amortized cost. -- Derivatives are classified as held for trading and are measured at fair value with changes in fair value being included in profit or loss, unless they are designated as effective hedging instruments, in which case changes in fair value are included in other comprehensive income.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company uses the following hierarchy for determining and disclosing the fair value of financial instruments by valuation technique:
-- Level 1 - unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities -- Level 2 - other techniques for which all inputs that have a significant effect on the recorded fair value are observable, either directly or indirectly -- Level 3 - techniques that use inputs that have a significant effect on the recorded fair value that are not based on observable market data
Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedge Accounting
Derivative financial arrangements are used to hedge exposure to fluctuations in exchange rates. Such derivative financial instruments are initially recognized at fair value on the date on which a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently measured at fair value. Derivatives are carried as financial assets when the fair value is positive and as financial liabilities when the fair value is negative.
Any gains or losses arising from changes in the fair value of derivatives are taken directly to the income statement, except for the effective portion of cash flow hedges, which is recognized in other comprehensive income.
At inception, the Company designates and documents the hedge relationship including identification of the transaction and the risk management objectives and strategy for undertaking the hedge. The Company also documents its assessment, both at hedge inception and on an ongoing basis, of whether the derivatives that are used in hedging transactions are highly effective in offsetting changes in fair values or cash flows of hedged items.
The Company has designated certain derivatives as cash flow hedges. These are hedges of firm commitments and highly probable forecast transactions. The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives that are designated as a cash flow hedge is recognized in other comprehensive income. The gain or loss relating to the ineffective portion is recognized immediately in the income statement. Additionally:
-- If a hedge of a forecast transaction subsequently results in the recognition of a non-financial asset, the associated gains or losses that were recognized in other comprehensive income are included in the initial cost or other carrying amount of the asset; -- For cash flow hedges other than those identified above, amounts accumulated in other comprehensive income are recycled to the income statement in the period when the hedged item will affect earnings (for instance, when the forecast sale that is hedged takes place); -- When a hedging instrument expires or is sold, or when a hedge no longer meets the criteria for hedge accounting, any cumulative gain or loss in other comprehensive income remains in other comprehensive income and is recognized when the forecast transaction is ultimately recognized in the income statement; and -- When a forecast transaction is no longer expected to occur, the cumulative gain or loss that was reported in other comprehensive income is immediately recognized in the income statement.
Impairment of Non-financial Assets
The Company assesses at each reporting date whether there is an indication that an asset may be impaired. If any indication exists, or when annual impairment testing for an asset is required, the Company estimates the asset's recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset's fair value less costs to sell and its value in use. For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash flows (CGUs). In determining fair value less costs to sell, recent market transactions are taken into account, if available. In assessing value in use, the estimated further cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. An impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the asset's carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. Impairment losses are recognized in the income statement.
The Company bases its impairment calculation on detailed budgets which are prepared for each of the CGUs and generally cover a period of three years. For longer periods, a long-term growth rate is calculated and applied to project future cash flows after the third year.
For assets other than goodwill, an assessment is made at each reporting date whether there is any indication that previously recognized impairment losses may no longer exist or may have decreased. If such indication exists, the Company estimates the asset's recoverable amount. A previously recognized impairment loss is reversed only if there has been a change in the assumptions used to determine the asset's recoverable amount since the last impairment loss was recognized. The reversal is limited so that the carrying amount of the asset does not exceed its recoverable amount, nor exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation, had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset in prior years. Such reversal is recognized in the income statement.
Goodwill is tested for impairment annually during the fourth quarter of the year and when circumstances indicate that the carrying value may be impaired.
Revenue Recognition
Revenue is recognized to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Company and the revenue can be reliably measured. Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received, excluding discounts, rebates, sales taxes and duty. The following specific recognition criteria must also be met before revenue is recognized:
-- Revenues from the sale of equipment are recognized when the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods have passed to the buyer, usually on shipment of the goods and/or invoicing. -- Revenues from the sale of equipment for which the Company has provided a guarantee to repurchase the equipment at predetermined residual values and dates are accounted for as operating leases. Revenues are recognized over the period extending to the date of the residual value guarantee. -- Revenues from the sale of equipment systems involving design, manufacture, installation and start-up are recorded using the percentage-of-completion method. Percentage-of-completion is normally measured by reference to costs incurred to date as a percentage of total estimated cost for each contract. Any foreseeable losses on such projects are recognized immediately in profit or loss as identified. -- Revenues from equipment rentals are recognized in accordance with the terms of the relevant agreement with the customer, generally on a straight-line basis over the term of the agreement. -- Product support services include sales of parts and servicing of equipment. For the sale of parts, revenues are recognized when the part is shipped to the customer. For servicing of equipment, revenues are recognized on completion of the service work. -- Revenues from long-term maintenance contracts and separately priced extended warranty contracts are recognized on a percentage-of-completion basis proportionate to the service work that has been performed based on the parts and labour service provided. These contracts are closely monitored for performance. Any losses estimated during the term of the contract are recognized when identified. At the completion of the contract, any remaining profit on the contract is recognized as revenue. -- Interest income is recognized using the effective interest method.
Foreign Currency Translation
The functional and presentation currency of the Company is the Canadian dollar. Each of the Company's subsidiaries determines its functional currency and items included in the financial statements of each subsidiary are measured using that functional currency.
Transactions in foreign currencies are initially recorded at the functional currency rate prevailing at the date of the transaction or at the average rate for the period when this is a reasonable approximation. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the functional currency spot rate of exchange as at the reporting date. All differences are taken directly to profit or loss. Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates as at the dates of the initial transactions.
The assets and liabilities of foreign operations (having a functional currency other than the Canadian dollar) are translated into Canadian dollars at the rate of exchange prevailing at the statement of financial position date and the statements of earnings are translated at the average exchange rate for the period. The exchange differences arising on translation are recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income in shareholders' equity. On disposal of a foreign operation, the deferred cumulative amount recognized in equity is recognized in the income statement.
Share-based Payment Transactions
The Company operates both equity-settled and cash-settled share-based compensation plans under which the Company receives services from employees, including senior executives and directors, as consideration for equity instruments of the Company or cash payments.
For equity-settled plans, expense is based on the fair value of the awards granted determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and the best estimate of the number of equity instruments that will ultimately vest. For awards with graded vesting, each tranche is considered to be a separate grant based on its respective vesting period. The fair value of each tranche is determined separately on the date of grant and is recognized as stock-based compensation expense, net of forfeiture estimate, over the term of its respective vesting period.
For cash-settled plans, the expense is determined based on the fair value of the liability incurred at each award date and at each subsequent statement of financial position date until the award is settled. The fair value of the liability is measured by applying quoted market prices. Changes in fair value are recognized in the income statement in selling and administrative expenses.
Employee Future Benefits
For defined contribution plans, the pension expense recorded in the income statement is the amount of the contributions the Company is required to pay in accordance with the terms of the plans.
For defined benefit plans, the pension expense is determined separately for each plan using the following policies:
-- The cost of pensions earned by employees is actuarially determined using the projected unit credit method pro-rated on length of service and management's best estimate assumptions to value its pensions using a measurement date ofDecember 31 ; -- For the purpose of calculating the expected return on plan assets, those assets are valued at fair value; -- Past service costs from plan amendments are recognized immediately in net earnings to the extent that the benefits have vested; otherwise, they are amortized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period; -- Actuarial gains and losses arising from experience adjustments and changes in actuarial assumptions are recognized in retained earnings and included in the statement of comprehensive income in the period in which they occur.
Income Taxes
Current income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities.
Deferred tax is provided using the liability method on temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes at the reporting date. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted or substantively enacted income tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in income tax rates is recognized in the income statement in the period that includes the date of substantive enactment. The Company assesses recoverability of deferred tax assets based on the Company's estimates and assumptions. Deferred tax assets are recorded at an amount that the Company considers probable to be realized.
Current and deferred income taxes relating to items recognized directly in shareholders' equity are also recognized directly in shareholders' equity.
Leases
The determination of whether an arrangement is, or contains, a lease is based on the substance of the arrangement at inception date. Leases which transfer substantially all of the benefits and risks of ownership of the property to the lessee are classified as finance leases; all other leases are classified as operating leases. Classification is re-assessed if the terms of the lease are changed.
Toromont as Lessee
Operating lease payments are recognized as an operating expense in the income statement on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Benefits received and receivable as an incentive to enter into an operating lease are deferred and amortized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.
Toromont as Lessor
Rental income from operating leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the relevant lease. Initial direct costs incurred in negotiating and arranging an operating lease are added to the carrying amount of the leased asset and recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
Borrowing Costs
Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of an asset that necessarily takes a substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use or sale are capitalized as part of the cost of the respective asset. All other borrowing costs are expensed in the period they occur.

1. Significant Accounting Estimates and Assumptions
The preparation of the Company's consolidated financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities, and the disclosure of contingent liabilities, at the end of the reporting period. However, uncertainty about these assumptions and estimates could result in outcomes that require a material adjustment to the carrying amount of the asset or liability affected in future periods.
In making estimates and judgments, management relies on external information and observable conditions where possible, supplemented by internal analysis as required. Management reviews its estimates and judgements on an ongoing basis.
In the process of applying the Company's accounting policies, management has made the following judgments, estimates and assumptions which have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in the consolidated financial statements.
Property, Plant and Equipment - Depreciation is calculated based on the estimated useful lives of the assets and estimated residual values.
When determining the value in use of property, plant and equipment during impairment testing, the Company uses the following critical estimates: the timing of forecasted revenues; future selling prices and margins; maintenance and other capital expenditures; and discount rates.
Changes in circumstances, such as technological advances and changes to business strategy, can result in actual useful lives, residual values and future cash flows differing significantly from estimates. The assumptions used are reviewed on an ongoing basis to ensure they continue to be appropriate.
Income Taxes - Estimates and judgments are made for uncertainties which exist with respect to the interpretation of complex tax regulations, changes in tax laws, and the amount and timing of future taxable income.
Revenue Recognition - The Company generates revenue from the assembly and manufacture of equipment using the percentage-of-completion method. This method requires management to make a number of estimates and assumptions surrounding: the expected profitability of the contract; the estimated degree of completion based on cost progression; and other detailed factors. Although these factors are routinely reviewed as part of the project management process, changes in these estimates or assumptions could lead to changes in the revenues recognized in a given period.
The Company also generates revenue from long-term maintenance and repair contracts whereby it is obligated to maintain equipment for its customers. The contracts are typically fixed price on either machine hours or cost per hour, with provisions for inflationary and exchange adjustments. Revenue is recognized using the percentage-of-completion method based on work completed. This method requires management to make a number of estimates and assumptions surrounding: machine usage; machine performance; future parts and labour pricing; manufacturers' warranty coverage; and other detailed factors. These factors are routinely reviewed as part of the contract management process; however changes in these estimates or assumptions could lead to changes in the revenues and cost of goods sold recognized in a given period.
Inventories - Management is required to make an assessment of the net realizable value of inventory at each reporting period. Management incorporates estimates and judgments that take into account current market prices, current economic trends and past experience in the measurement of net realizable value.
Employee Future Benefits Expense - The net obligations associated with the defined benefit pension plans are actuarially valued using: the projected unit credit method; management's best estimates for long-term expected rate of return on plan assets; salary escalation and life expectancy; and a current market discount rate. All assumptions are reviewed at each reporting date.
Share-based Compensation - Estimating the fair value for share-based payment transactions requires determining the most appropriate inputs to the valuation model including: the expected life of the share option; volatility; and dividend yield.

Toromont acquired from Caterpillar the assets associated with the former coterminous Bucyrus distribution network. Under this agreement, Toromont paid US
The intangible asset - distribution network is considered to have an indefinite useful life as the agreement does not have a termination date. Intangible assets with an indefinite useful life are not amortized but are tested for impairment annually, or when conditions suggest that there may be an impairment.
Goodwill and intangible assets have been allocated to two CGUs or groups of CGUs for impairment testing as follows:
-- Toromont CAT, included within theEquipment Group -- CIMCO, which is also an operating and reportable segment

Key Assumption Used in Value in Use Calculations
The calculation of value in use for Toromont CAT and CIMCO are most sensitive to the following assumptions:
-- Discount rates -- Growth rate to extrapolate cash flows beyond the budget period
Discount rates represent the current market assessment of the risks specific to each CGU, taking into consideration the time value of money and individual risks of the underlying assets that have not been incorporated in the cash flow estimates. The discount rate is derived from the CGU's weighted-average cost of capital, taking into account both debt and equity. The cost of equity is derived from the expected return on investment by the Company's shareholders. The cost of debt is based on the interest-bearing borrowings the Company is obliged to service. Segment-specific risk is incorporated by applying different debt to equity ratios.
Growth rate estimates are based on published data and were used as a conservative estimate of future growth.
Sensitivity to Changes in Assumptions
Management believes that no reasonably possible change in any of the above key assumptions would cause the carrying value of either unit to materially exceed its recoverable amount.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The estimated fair values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities and borrowings under the bank term facility approximate their respective carrying values given their short-term maturities.
The fair value of derivative financial instruments is measured using the discounted value of the difference between the contract's value at maturity based on the contracted foreign exchange rate and the contract's value at maturity based on the comparable foreign exchange rate at period end under the same conditions. The financial institution's credit risk is also taken into consideration in determining fair value. The valuation is determined using Level 2 inputs which are observable inputs or inputs which can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.

Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedge Accounting
Foreign exchange contracts and options are transacted with financial institutions to hedge foreign currency denominated obligations related to purchases of inventory and sales of products.
The following table summarizes the Company's commitments to buy and sell foreign currencies as at

Management estimates that a loss of
All hedging relationships are formally documented, including the risk management objective and strategy. On an ongoing basis, an assessment is made as to whether the designated derivative financial instruments continue to be effective in offsetting changes in cash flows of the hedged transactions.
13.FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS - RISK MANAGEMENT
In the normal course of business, Toromont is exposed to financial risks that may potentially impact its operating results in one or all of its operating segments. The Company employs risk management strategies with a view to mitigating these risks on a cost-effective basis. Derivative financial agreements are used to manage exposure to fluctuations in exchange rates. The Company does not enter into derivative financial agreements for speculative purposes.
Currency Risk
The Canadian operations of the Company source the majority of its products and major components from
The Company maintains a conservative hedging policy whereby all significant transactional currency risks are identified and hedged.
Sensitivity Analysis
The following sensitivity analysis is intended to illustrate the sensitivity to changes in foreign exchange rates on the Company's financial instruments and show the impact on net earnings and comprehensive income. Financial instruments affected by currency risk include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and derivative financial instruments. This sensitivity analysis relates to the position as at
Cdn dollar weakens by 5% USD GBP ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Financial instruments held in foreign operations: Other comprehensive Income $ 191 $ - Financial instruments held in Canadian operations: Net earnings $ 390 $ 5 Other comprehensive Income $ 3,592 $ (26)
The movement in OCI in foreign operations reflects the change in the fair value of financial instruments. Gains or losses on translation of foreign subsidiaries are deferred in OCI. Accumulated currency translation adjustments are recognized in income when there is a reduction in the net investment in the foreign operation.
The movement in net earnings in Canadian operations is a result of a change in the fair values of financial instruments. The majority of these financial instruments are hedged.
The movement in OCI in Canadian operations reflects the change in the fair value of derivative financial instruments that are designated as cash flow hedges. The gains or losses on these instruments are not expected to affect net earnings as the gains or losses will offset losses or gains on the underlying hedged items.
Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to credit risk consist of cash equivalents, accounts receivable and derivative financial instruments. The carrying amount of assets included on the consolidated statement of financial position represents the maximum credit exposure.
Cash equivalents consist mainly of short-term investments, such as money market deposits. The Company has deposited the cash equivalents with reputable financial institutions, from which management believes the risk of loss to be remote.
The Company has accounts receivable from customers engaged in various industries including mining, construction, food and beverage, and governmental agencies. These specific industries may be affected by economic factors that may impact accounts receivable. Management does not believe that any single industry represents significant credit risk. Credit risk concentration with respect to trade receivables is mitigated by the Company's large customer base.
The credit risk associated with derivative financial instruments arises from the possibility that the counterparties may default on their obligations. In order to minimize this risk, the Company enters into derivative transactions only with highly rated financial institutions.
Interest Rate Risk
The Company minimizes its interest rate risk by managing its portfolio of floating and fixed rate debt, as well as managing the term to maturity. The Company may use derivative instruments such as interest rate swap agreements to manage its current and anticipated exposure to interest rates. There were no interest rate swap agreements outstanding as at
The Company had a floating rate debt of
Liquidity Risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company may encounter difficulties in meeting obligations associated with financial liabilities. As at
Accounts payable are primarily due within 90 days and will be satisfied from current working capital.
The Company expects that continued cash flows from operations in 2012, together with currently available credit facilities, will be more than sufficient to fund its requirements for investments in working capital, capital assets and dividend payments through the next 12 months, and that the Company's credit ratings provide reasonable access to capital markets to facilitate future debt issuance.

Basic earnings per share ("EPS") are calculated by dividing net earnings for the year by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year.
Diluted EPS is calculated by dividing net earnings by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year plus the weighted average number of common shares that would be issued on conversion of all dilutive stock options to common shares.
EPS amounts for continuing and discontinued operations is calculated by dividing net earnings from continuing and discontinued operations respectively by the weighted average number of common shares for both basic and diluted amounts.

20.CAPITAL MANAGEMENT
The Company defines capital as the aggregate of shareholders' equity and long-term debt less cash and cash equivalents.
The Company's capital management framework is designed to maintain a flexible capital structure that allows for optimization of the cost of capital at acceptable risk while balancing the interests of both equity and debt holders.
The Company generally targets a net debt to total capitalization ratio of 33%, although there is a degree of variability associated with the timing of cash flows. Also, if appropriate opportunities are identified, the Company is prepared to significantly increase this ratio depending upon the opportunity.
The Company's capital management criteria can be illustrated as follows:
