Independent Auditor’s Report
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT
To the Shareholders and the Board of Directors of TWC Enterprises Limited
Opinion
We have audited the consolidated financial statements of TWC Enterprises Limited (the “Company”), which comprise the consolidated statements of financial position as at December 31, 2020 and 2019, and the consolidated statements of earnings and comprehensive earnings, consolidated statements of changes in shareholders’ equity and consolidated statements of cash flows for the years then ended, and notes to the consolidated financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”).
In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as at December 31, 2020 and 2019, and its financial performance and its cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”).
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards (“Canadian GAAS”). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in Canada, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Key Audit Matter
A key audit matter is a matter that, in our professional judgment, was of most significance in our audit of the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020. This matter was addressed in the context of our audit of the financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on this matter.
Property, Plant and Equipment – Assessment of Indicators of Impairment
Refer to Notes 2 and 7 to the financial statements
Key Audit Matter Description
The Company reviews property, plant and equipment for indicators of impairment at each reporting date or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset or group of assets may not be recoverable. As at March 31, 2020, management assessed internal and external factors, which included considerations related to the potential impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, and concluded that there were no events or changes in circumstances that indicated a potential impairment.
Auditing the Company's assessment of whether an indicator of impairment existed as at March 31, 2020 required increased auditor attention due to the judgments made by management when determining whether events or changes in circumstances could indicate a potential impairment.
How the Key Audit Matter Was Addressed in the Audit
Our audit procedures related to the assessment of whether an indicator of impairment existed in property, plant and equipment included the following, among others:
-
Evaluated the Company’s identification of triggering events and evaluated the Company’s projected operating performance by comparing the key assumptions to historical results and considerations to recent events including the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic using internal and external information.
-
Evaluated the responses as to factors considered and evaluated whether the Company omitted any significant internal or external factors in their assessment.
Other Information
Management is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises:
-
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations; and
-
The information, other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon, in the Annual Report.
Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not and will not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information identified above and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.
We obtained Management’s Discussion and Analysis prior to the date of this auditor’s report. If, based on the work we have performed on this other information, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact in this auditor’s report. We have nothing to report in this regard.
The Annual Report is expected to be made available to us after the date of the auditor’s report. If, based on the work we will perform on this other information, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact to those charged with governance.
TWC Enterprises Limited ANNUAL REPORT 2020 34
Independent Auditor’s Report
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT (CONTINUED)
Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with IFRS, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Company’s financial reporting process.
Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with Canadian GAAS will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with Canadian GAAS, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
-
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
-
Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control.
-
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
-
Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
-
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
-
Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Company to express an opinion on the financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor's report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
The engagement partner on the audit resulting in this independent auditor’s report is Terng Chen.

TWC Enterprises Limited Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
For the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019
1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS
TWC Enterprises Limited (the “Company” or “TWC”) was formed under the laws of Canada. The Company’s executive office is located at 15675 Dufferin Street, King City, Ontario L7B 1K5. TWC is a publicly traded company on the Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX”) under the symbol “TWC.”
TWC is engaged in golf club operations under the trademark “ClubLink One Membership More Golf.” TWC is Canada’s largest owner, operator and manager of golf clubs with 48½, 18-hole equivalent championship and 3½, 18-hole equivalent academy courses at 37 locations in Ontario, Quebec and Florida (including one managed property).
The golf club operations located in the United States have a functional currency in United States (“US”) dollars, which are translated into Canadian dollars for reporting purposes in these consolidated financial statements.
2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
(A) Statement of compliance
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB).
These financial statements were authorized for issuance by the Board of Directors on March 5, 2021.
(B) Functional and presentation currency
These consolidated financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars, which is also the Company’s functional currency.
(C) Significant accounting judgments and estimates
The preparation of financial statements that conform with IFRS requires management to make judgments and estimates and form assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. The following section discusses the accounting estimates, judgments and assumptions that the Company has made and how they affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements.
Judgment is commonly used in determining whether a balance or transaction should be recognized in the financial statements and estimates and assumptions are more commonly used in determining the measurement of recognized transactions and balances. However, judgments and estimates are often interrelated.
On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its judgments and estimates in relation to assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses. Management uses historical experience and various other factors it believes to be reasonable under the given circumstances as the basis for its judgments and estimates. Actual outcomes may differ from management’s judgments and estimates.
Amortization of membership fees
One of the more critical accounting estimates used by TWC is the weighted average remaining life of memberships sold by join year, which is used to recognize membership fee revenue. The membership fee revenue is amortized over the weighted average remaining membership life by year joined. The amortization period is reviewed annually and any adjustments are made prospectively. Subsequent to this amortization period, membership fees are recorded as revenue upon receipt. These amortization periods should decline each year by one year as each group gets one year older, producing a relatively uniform revenue stream from membership fees over the average remaining life of memberships sold by join year. However, these average ages may not decline on a consistent basis if a disproportionate amount of older or younger members decide to resign at any particular time. This could result in a deferral or acceleration of membership fee revenue, the amount of which would be dependent on the variability of the change in average ages. To date, there have been no significant variances in the average ages.
Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment are depreciated over their useful lives on a straight-line basis. The Company assesses on an annual basis the useful life and residual value of these assets, which are used in the calculation of depreciation expense. The useful lives assigned are disclosed in the list of accounting policies. Due to the relatively large proportion of these assets to total assets, the selection of the method of depreciation and the length of depreciation period could have a material impact on depreciation expense and net book value of property, plant and equipment.
When determining whether an asset is property, plant and equipment or an investment property, the original intent of the acquisition is considered in order to conclude as to which category is used.

TWC Enterprises Limited Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
For the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019
2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION (continued)
(C) Significant accounting judgments and estimates (continued)
Intangible assets
Intangible assets includes amounts assigned to the membership base from past business combinations of member golf courses. These are amortized over a thirty year time frame. Inherent in this useful life is the estimate of the weighted average life of a member which is fifteen years, as well as the practice of our current members referring colleagues and family members as new ClubLink members. As part of the thirty year useful life amortization period, it is estimated that the average member (which typically has a fifteen year average life) will refer one other member for a combined thirty year useful life.
Impairment
Property, plant and equipment and intangible assets are reviewed for impairment at each reporting date or whenever events or changes in the circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Estimates are made in the assessment of any impairment calculation, which are described more fully in the accounting policy note.
The impairment process begins with the identification of the appropriate asset or cash-generating unit for purposes of impairment testing. Identification and measurement of any impairments are based on the asset’s recoverable amount, which is the higher of its fair value less costs to sell and its value in use. Value in use is generally based on an estimate of discounted future cash flows. Judgment is required in determining the appropriate discount rate. Assumptions must also be made about future sales, margins and market conditions over the long-term life of the assets or cash-generating unit.
The Company cannot predict if an event that triggers impairment will occur, when it will occur or how it will affect reported asset amounts. Although estimates are reasonable and consistent with current conditions, internal planning and expected future operations, such estimates are subject to significant uncertainties and judgments. As a result, it is reasonably possible that the amounts reported for asset impairments could be different if different assumptions were used or if market and other conditions were to change. The changes could result in non-cash charges that could materially affect the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
Income taxes
TWC records income taxes using the balance sheet liability method of accounting. Under this method, deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined according to differences between the carrying amounts and tax bases of the assets and liabilities. Management uses judgment and estimates in determining the appropriate rates and amounts to record for deferred income taxes, giving consideration to timing and probability. Previously recorded tax assets and liabilities are remeasured using tax rates in effect when these differences are expected to reverse in accordance with enacted laws or those substantively enacted as at the date of the consolidated financial statements.
The Company operates in several tax jurisdictions. As a result, its income is subject to various rates of taxation. The complexity of tax regulations require assessments of uncertainties and judgments in estimating the taxes the Company will ultimately pay. While the Company believes that its positions and filings are appropriate and supportable, certain matters are periodically challenged by tax authorities. The final taxes paid are dependent upon many factors, including negotiations with taxing authorities in various jurisdictions and resolution of disputes arising from federal, provincial, state and local tax audits. The resolution of these uncertainties and the associated final taxes may result in adjustments to the Company’s tax assets and tax liabilities and have a corresponding impact to net earnings.
Contingencies
The Company is exposed to possible losses and gains related to environmental matters and other various claims and lawsuits pending for and against it in the ordinary course of business. Prediction of the outcome of such uncertain events (i.e., being virtually certain, probable, remote or undeterminable), determination of whether recognition or disclosure in the consolidated financial statements is required and estimation of potential financial effects are matters for judgment. Where no amounts are recognized, such amounts are contingent and disclosure may be appropriate. While the amount disclosed in the consolidated financial statements may not be material, the potential for large liabilities exists and therefore these estimates could have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

(D) Accounting policies
The following are the Company’s accounting policies under IFRS:
Scope of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements of TWC, as the parent company, include the accounts of all entities that are controlled directly or indirectly by the Company. This includes the following wholly-owned major operating subsidiaries: ClubLink Corporation ULC and ClubLink US LLC and their respective subsidiaries. Control is achieved when it is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the investee. Intercompany transactions between subsidiaries are eliminated on consolidation.
Accounts receivable
Amounts are recorded at fair value less an allowance for doubtful accounts. In assessing the allowance, consideration is given to the financial solvency of specific customers and performing an evaluation of the remaining receivables according to their default risk primarily based on the age of the receivable and historical loss experience. Account balances are written off against the allowance after all collection efforts have been exhausted and the likelihood of recovery is considered remote. Recoveries are credited back to the allowance account.
Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value and consist of food, beverages and merchandise. Cost of sales represents the amount of inventories expensed during the year. Cost of sales are determined on a weighted-average basis.

Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment (“PP&E”) is recorded at cost less impairment and accumulated depreciation.
PP&E include land and improvements thereto, buildings and related equipment. Operating PP&E, including assets under finance lease, are depreciated on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives as follows:

Not depreciated Buildings and land improvements ................................. 25 - 60 years Bunkers, cart paths and irrigation .................................. 20 years Equipment ................................................................... 5 - 30 years
PP&E include properties under construction or held for future development. TWC capitalizes all direct costs relating to the development and construction of these properties. TWC also capitalizes interest and direct project development and management costs during construction of qualifying assets.
Intangible assets
Purchased intangible assets with finite useful lives are recorded at acquisition cost and amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful life. All of TWC’s intangible assets have estimable useful lives and are therefore subject to amortization.
Intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis as follows: Membership base ..........................................................30 years Brand ............................................................................30 years Below market rent terms ...............................................over the length of the lease
Business combinations
The Company accounts for all business combinations using the acquisition method. As at the date of acquisition, the purchase price is allocated to the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. If applicable, goodwill represents the excess of the cost of acquired net assets over the fair values assigned to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and to the fair value of liabilities assumed.
Impairment of long-lived assets
The Company reviews long-lived assets such as property, plant and equipment and acquired intangible assets, for impairment at each reporting date or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset or group of assets may not be recoverable.
The Company assesses recoverability of these assets by comparing their carrying amount to the recoverable amount, which is the higher of value in use and fair value less costs to sell. Where the carrying amount of an asset or a group of assets exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset is considered to be impaired, and is written down to its recoverable amount. In assessing value in use, the estimated future 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. In determining fair value less costs to sell, recent market transactions are taken into account, if available. If no such transactions can be identified, an appropriate valuation model is used.
For assets excluding goodwill, an assessment is made at each reporting date as to 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 or group of assets’ 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 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.
Accounts payable, borrowings and other liabilities
Trade payables and other non-derivative financial liabilities are recognized initially at fair value and in the case of borrowings include attributable transaction costs.

Deferred income taxes
The Company uses the balance sheet liability method of accounting for deferred income taxes. Temporary differences arising from the difference between the tax base of an asset or liability and its carrying amount on the consolidated balance sheets and unutilized tax losses are used to calculate deferred income tax liabilities or assets. Deferred income tax liabilities and assets are calculated using the substantively enacted tax rates and laws that are expected to be in effect in the periods that the temporary differences are expected to reverse. The effect of changes in tax rates is included in earnings in the period, which includes the substantive enactment.
Foreign currency translation
(a) Functional currency and currency translation account
The functional currency of TWC and its subsidiaries is the local currency. The assets and liabilities of TWC’s foreign operations where the functional currency is not the Canadian dollar are translated using the rate of exchange at the balance sheet date, whereas revenue and expenses are translated using average exchange rates during the respective periods. The resulting foreign currency translation adjustments are included in accumulated other comprehensive earnings or loss. The accumulated balance of the foreign currency translation reserve reflects the differences since January 1, 2010, the transition date to IFRS. When a foreign operation is disposed of, the foreign currency translation adjustment applicable to that entity is recognized in the consolidated statement of earnings.
(b) Local currency transactions
Transactions in foreign currencies are translated to the respective functional currencies of the entity at the applicable exchange rate on the date of each transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities that are denominated in foreign currencies other than the functional local currency are translated at the year-end closing rate with the resulting gains and losses reflected in the consolidated statement of earnings.
(c) Cash flow statement
Operating, investing and financing cash flows are translated using average exchange rates during the respective periods. The effects on cash due to fluctuations in exchange rates are shown in a separate line in the consolidated statement of cash flows.
Financial instruments
Financial assets must be classified and measured based on three categories: amortized cost, fair value through other comprehensive income (“FVTOCI”) and fair value through profit or loss (“FVTPL”). Financial liabilities are classified and measured based on two categories: amortized cost and FVTPL. Initially, all financial assets and financial liabilities are recorded in the consolidated balance sheets at fair value. After initial recognition, the effective interest related to financial assets and liabilities measured at amortized cost and the gain or loss arising from the change in the fair value of financial assets or liabilities classified as FVTPL are included in net income for the year in which they arise. At each consolidated balance sheet date, financial assets measured at amortized cost or at FVTOCI, except for investment in equity instruments, require an impairment analysis using the expected credit loss model (“ECL model”) to determine the expected credit losses using judgment determined on a probability weighting basis.
The following is a summary of the accounting model the Company applies to each of its significant categories of financial instruments:
instruments: |
|
|---|---|
| Balance Sheet Classifcation | Financial Instrument Designation |
| Cash and cash equivalents | Amortized cost |
| Accounts receivable | Amortized cost |
| Investments | FVTPL |
| Mortgages and loans receivable | Amortized cost |
| Accountspayable and accrued liabilities | Amortized cost |
| Borrowings | Amortized cost |

(D) Accounting policies (continued)
Financial instruments (continued)
Transaction costs related to the Company’s borrowings are netted against the related liability and are expensed using the effective interest method.
The fair value of financial instruments that are not quoted in an active market is determined by applying various valuation techniques with maximum use of observable market inputs. The valuation techniques used are discounted cash flows, option pricing models, valuations with reference to recent transactions in the same instrument and valuation with reference to other financial instruments that are substantially the same.
An item may only be designated in a hedging relationship if changes in fair value of the hedging item are expected to offset virtually all changes in fair value of the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk. This offsetting must be expected at inception of the hedge and throughout the hedging period.
The Company formally documents all relationships between hedging instruments and hedged items, as well as its risk management objectives and strategy for undertaking various hedging transactions. The Company also documents and assesses, both at hedge inception and on an ongoing basis, whether the derivative financial instruments that are used in hedging transactions are highly effective in offsetting expected changes in the hedged items.
Gains and losses on derivative financial instruments that are not designated in a hedging relationship and gains and losses related to the “ineffective” portion of effective hedges are recognized in other operating income and expenses.
Hedge accounting is discontinued prospectively if the hedging instrument or hedged item is terminated or sold, or if it is determined that the hedging instrument is no longer effective.
Share capital
Repurchased common shares are recorded at acquisition cost and are presented as a deduction from shareholders’ equity. On retirement of treasury shares, any excess over the calculated average issue price is charged to retained earnings.
Revenue recognition
Golf club operations revenue includes annual dues (recognized on a daily basis as earned) and sales to members and customers of green fees, cart rentals, food and beverage, merchandise and room rentals, which are all recognized when the service is provided. The Company recognizes its annual dues revenue on a straight-line basis throughout the year based on when its properties are open and services are provided. Membership fee revenue is amortized over the estimated weighted average remaining membership life by year joined. Subsequent to this amortization period, membership fees are recorded as revenue upon receipt.
Non-monetary transactions
The Company records non-monetary transactions at the fair value of the assets or services exchanged unless the exchange transaction lacks commercial substance or the fair value of neither the asset or service received nor the asset or service given up is reliably measurable.
The Company has recorded $462,000 (2019 – $875,000) of operating revenue relating to non-monetary transactions.
Lease payments
The Company is a lessee of property, plant and equipment, mainly leased golf clubs, under leases that do not transfer the substantive risks and rewards of ownership.
At the commencement date of a lease, a lessee will recognize a liability to make lease payments and an asset representing the right-of-use to use the underlying asset during the lease term. Lessees will be required to separately recognize the interest expense on the lease liability and the depreciation expense on the right-of-use asset.

Earnings per share
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing net earnings by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per share is calculated using the treasury stock method.
Joint ventures
A joint venture is a joint arrangement whereby the parties that have joint control of the arrangement have rights to the net assets of the joint arrangement. Joint control is the contractually agreed sharing of control of an arrangement, which exists only when decisions about the relevant activities require unanimous consent of the parties sharing control.
Investments in joint ventures are accounted for using the equity method. Under the equity method, the investment in a joint venture is initially recognized at cost. The carrying amount of the investment is adjusted to recognize changes in the Company’s share of net assets of the joint venture since the acquisition date. The consolidated statement of income reflects the Company’s share of the results of operations of the joint venture. Any change in other comprehensive income of the joint venture is presented as part of the Company’s consolidated statement of comprehensive earnings.
When the Company’s share of losses of a joint venture exceeds the Company’s interest in that joint venture, the Company discontinues recognizing its share of further losses. Additional losses are recognized only to the extent that the Company has incurred legal or constructive obligations or made payments on behalf of the joint venture.
When the Company transacts with a joint venture, profits and losses resulting from the transactions are recognized in the Company’s consolidated financial statements only to the extent of interests in the joint venture that are not related to the Company.
Subsidies
As per IAS 20, Government Grants, the Company recognizes government assistance, in the form of grants or forgivable loans, when there is reasonable assurance that the Company will be able to comply with the conditions attached to the assistance and that the assistance will be received. Government assistance that compensates the Company for expenses incurred is recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings and Comprehensive Earnings, as a reduction of the related expense, in the periods in which the expenses are recognized.
On April 11, 2020, the Government of Canada passed the Canada Emergency Wage Subsidy (“CEWS”) to support employers experiencing certain revenue declines as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. The Company applied for CEWS for the period from March 15, 2020 to December 31, 2020. For the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company recognized a recovery of labour and employee benefits expense of $11,948,000. As at December 31, 2020, the Company has an amount receivable related to CEWS of $9,045,000 included in accounts receivable on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. This amount was received subsequent to year end.

On August 16, 2019, TWC purchased a 50% interest in a real estate management company and various real estate housing investments with ownership percentages ranging from 11.67% to 23.33% for $14,501,000. This purchase price was broken down into a cash outlay of $9,236,000 and promissory notes in the amount of $5,265,000. Included in this acquisition was an 11.67% interest in the Highland Gate project, bringing TWC’s total interest to be 61.67%. Notwithstanding this fact, TWC does not control this project due to the fact that the Company can only nominate one of the two directors for this asset, and decisions need to be unanimous. Therefore, Highland Gate is jointly controlled and is accounted for as a joint venture.
Control of the real estate management company and the various real estate housing investments is shared with TWC’s partners and are considered to be joint ventures which are to be accounted for using the equity accounting method. The real estate management company manages the real estate housing investments acquired.

20. CAPITAL MANAGEMENT
TWC’s objective is to ensure that capital resources are readily available to meet obligations as they become due, to complete its approved capital expenditure program and to take advantage of attractive acquisitions as these opportunities arise.
Certain secured debt obligations of the Company have restrictive covenants that require maintenance of certain financial ratios. These covenants include debt service ratios, borrowings to adjusted equity/asset ratios and a minimum total equity requirement. For all of 2020 and 2019, the Company was in compliance with these borrowings covenants.
TWC monitors capital on the basis of the net borrowings-to-adjusted equity ratio. This ratio is calculated as net borrowings divided by adjusted equity. Net borrowings is calculated as gross borrowings less cash. Adjusted equity is comprised of all components of shareholders’ equity (i.e., share capital, retained earnings and accumulated other comprehensive gain or loss) and deferred membership fees less a related statutory tax provision.
The Company sets its capital structure in proportion to risk. It manages its capital structure and makes adjustments to it in light of changes in economic conditions and the risk characteristics of the underlying assets. In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Company may adjust the amount of dividends paid to shareholders, purchase and cancel shares pursuant to issuer bids, issue new shares, or sell assets to reduce borrowings.
TWC’s objective is to maintain a net borrowings-to-adjusted equity ratio of less than 2.50, in order to maintain access to financing at a reasonable cost. The net borrowings-to-adjusted equity ratios at December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, are as follows:
| (thousands of Canadian dollars) | 2020 | 2019 |
|---|---|---|
| Gross borrowings | $ 118,609 | $ 131,706 |
| Cash and cash equivalents | (57,217) | (66,042) |
| Net borrowings(A) | $ 61,392 | $ 65,664 |
| Share capital | $ 102,453 | $ 109,490 |
| Retained earnings | 307,830 | 322,454 |
| Accumulated other comprehensive gain | 4,086 | 4,586 |
| Deferred membership fees | 5,229 | 7,362 |
| Less: taxprovision at statutoryincome tax rates | (1,386) | (1,951) |
| Adjusted equity (B) | $ 418,212 | $ 441,941 |
| Net borrowings-to-adjusted equityratio(A/B) | 0.15 | 0.15 |
TWC has a revolving credit arrangement, which is used to fund operations. This allows the flexibility to manage its highly seasonal cash inflows and regular year round disbursements while providing appropriate returns to the shareholders. Cash flows considered surplus to the long-term needs of the business segment are generally utilized in corporate operations.
TWC may access financing from related party companies such as Morguard and Paros, as needed.

21. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISK MANAGEMENT
Categories of financial assets and liabilities
Pursuant to IFRS, financial instruments are classified into one of the following three categories: amortized cost, FVTOCI, FVTPL. The carrying values of the Company’s financial instruments on the consolidated balance sheets are classified into the following categories:
following categories: |
||
|---|---|---|
| (thousands of Canadian dollars) | 2020 | 2019 |
| Assets - Amortized cost(1) | $ 96,458 | $ 111,828 |
| Assets - FVTPL - Carnival plc shares and Automotive Properties REIT units | 69,847 | 85,103 |
| Liabilities - Amortized cost (2) | 151,276 | 170,472 |
(1) Includes cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and mortgages and loans receivable.
(2) Includes accounts payable and accrued liabilities and borrowings.
A portion of the accounts receivable balance has been pledged in conjunction with the assignment of certain property, plant and equipment as collateral for borrowings.
Fair values
The Company has determined, using considerable judgment, the estimated fair values of its financial instruments based on the valuation methodologies which are described below. The fair values of TWC’s financial instruments approximate their carrying values for financial statement purposes.
The methods and assumptions used to estimate the fair value of each type of financial instrument are as follows:
The fair values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and revolving lines of credit approximate their carrying values given their short-term maturities.
The carrying value of mortgages and loans receivable is assumed to approximate fair value as they bear interest at current market rates.
The fair value of non-revolving borrowings was estimated based on the discounted cash flows of the borrowings at the Company’s estimated incremental interest rates for borrowings of the same remaining maturities.
Financial instruments recorded at fair value on the consolidated balance sheet are classified using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs used in making the measurements. The fair value hierarchy has the following levels:
Level 1 – valuation based on quoted prices (unadjusted) observed in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 – valuation techniques based on inputs that are quoted prices of similar instruments in active markets; inputs other than quoted prices used in a valuation model that are observable for that instrument; and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.
Level 3 – valuation techniques with inputs not based on observable market inputs.

21. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISK MANAGEMENT (continued)
Risks arising from financial instruments and risk management
The Company’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including foreign exchange and interest rate risks), credit risk and liquidity risk. The Company’s overall risk management program focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimize potential adverse effects on the Company’s financial performance.
Risk management is the responsibility of the corporate finance department whose function is to identify, evaluate and, where appropriate, hedge financial risks. The Company’s overall risk management program focuses on establishing policies to identify and analyze the risks faced by the Company, to set appropriate risk limits and controls, and to monitor risks and adherence to limits. Risk management policies and systems are reviewed regularly to reflect changes in market conditions and the Company’s activities. The Company aims to develop a disciplined control environment in which all employees understand their roles and obligations. Risks are monitored and are regularly discussed with the board of directors.
Foreign exchange risk
As discussed in Note 1, the United States golf club operations have a reporting currency in US dollars. Therefore, fluctuations in the US dollar exchange rate will impact the earnings of TWC.
For the year ended December 31, 2020, if the Canadian dollar had weakened (strengthened) 10% against the US dollar, all other variables held constant, the after tax earnings would have increased (declined) by $106,000 (2019 - $68,000).
Interest rate risk
The following debt instruments have variable interest rates:
| (thousands of Canadian dollars) | 2020 | 2019 | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Revolving line of credit - corporate | ||||
| (December 31, 2020 - BA’s plus 160 basis points or 2.16%; | ||||
| prime plus 47.5 basis points or 2.93%) | ||||
| December 31, 2019 - BA’s plus 160 basis points or 3.74%; | ||||
| prime plus 47.5 basis points or 4.43%) | $ | 8,089 | $ | - |
| Operatingline of credit from relatedparty (cost of fundsplus 10 basispoints) | - | - | ||
| $ | 8,089 | $ | - |
For the year ended December 31, 2020, an increase (decrease) of 100 basis points of each the Canadian and US variable interest rate borrowings would have increased (decreased) interest expense by $16,000 (2019 - $41,000).
The objective of the Company’s interest rate management activities is to minimize the volatility of the Company’s earnings.

21. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISK MANAGEMENT (continued)
Credit risk
Credit risk arises from cash held with banks and financial institutions, as well as credit exposure to trade accounts receivable and mortgages and loans receivable. The maximum exposure to credit risk is equal to the carrying value of the financial assets.
The objective of managing credit risk is to prevent losses in financial assets. It is TWC’s experience that the credit worthiness of its member accounts receivable balances is very good because it has the ability to suspend the playing and charging privileges of members who have overdue accounts in order to manage credit risk exposure to its members.
Further, the Company collects deposits on group functions such as corporate events, banquets and resort stays to help reduce this risk.
The credit risk associated with mortgages and loans receivable is considered minimal as they are adequately secured. Collateral for mortgages and loans receivable include a charge on the underlying asset for vendor take-back mortgages and loans and the underlying security for share purchase loans.
The carrying amount of accounts receivable is reduced through the use of an allowance account and the amount of the loss is recognized in the statement of earnings within operating expenses. When a receivable balance is considered uncollectible, it is written off against the allowance for doubtful accounts receivable. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off are credited to the allowance account.
The following table describes the changes in the allowance for doubtful accounts receivable:
| (thousands of Canadian dollars) | 2020 | 2019 | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Balance, beginning of year | $ | 125 | $ | 275 |
| Increase (decrease) in allowance through bad debt expense | 42 | (61) | ||
| Bad debt write-ofs | (65) | (89) | ||
| Balance, end ofyear | $ | 102 | $ | 125 |
The following table sets forth details of the age of receivables that are not overdue, as well as an analysis of overdue amounts and related allowance for doubtful accounts:
| (thousands of Canadian dollars) | 2020 | 2019 |
|---|---|---|
| Accounts receivable | ||
| Current - including accruals | $ 13,210 | $ 7,025 |

Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk arises through excess of financial obligations over available financial assets due at any point in time. The Company’s objective in managing liquidity risk is to maintain sufficient readily available cash reserves in order to meet its liquidity requirements at any point in time. The Company achieves this by maintaining sufficient cash and through the availability of funding from committed credit facilities.
The Company and its subsidiaries are subject to risks associated with borrowings, including the possibility that existing mortgages may not be refinanced or may not be refinanced on as favorable terms or with interest rates as favourable as those of the existing facilities. The Company and its subsidiaries reduce these risks by its continued efforts to stagger and to extend the maturity profile of its borrowings, enhance the value of its real estate properties and foster excellent relations with its lenders.
The Company believes that cash on hand, future free cash flows generated by operations and availability under its revolving operating facility will be adequate to meet its financial obligations.
The Company has financial liabilities with varying contractual maturity dates. Total financial liabilities at December 31, 2020, based on contractual undiscounted payments are as follows:
| 2026 and | 2026 and | |||||||

COVID-19 Pandemic
As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company closed golf clubs in mid-March in order to adhere to government restrictions. All of the Company's properties were open again in stages, the latest being May 20, 2020. The impact of the pandemic has been to change the revenue mix of the operations. Golf revenue and member demand for golf has increased substantially, whereas any group type revenue has declined accordingly.
It is possible that future government restrictions may disrupt the Company's operations, although in general, there was no evidence of any substantive spread of the virus through golf activities in 2020.
It is also possible that a prolonged global economic recession could have a negative impact on the ability for members to pay for a premium golf experience.
