GKN Holdings plc
2010 Annual Report
This announcement is made in connection with GKN Holdings plc's 6.75% Bonds due 2019 and 7% Bonds due 2012. The shares of GKN Holdings plc are not listed; the Company is a wholly owned subsidiary of GKN plc, the ultimate holding company of the GKN Group
GKN Holdings plc has today published its 2010 Annual Report on the GKN plc website. The document can be viewed at or downloaded from www.gkn.com/investorrelations.
Copies of the 2010 Annual Report have been submitted to the National Storage Mechanism and will shortly be available for inspection at www.hemscott.com/nsm.do.
In compliance with DTR 6.3.5, a description of the Company's principal risks and uncertainties and a responsibility statement are set out below. A condensed set of financial statements are also appended. The 2010 full year results announcement issued by GKN plc on 1 March 2011 included an indication of important events that occurred during the year for the Group. The announcement can be viewed at or downloaded from www.gkn.com/investorrelations.
PRINCIPAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES
The Company's risk management process includes an assessment of the likelihood and potential impact of a range of events to determine the overall risk level and to identify actions necessary to mitigate their impact. As a finance, investment and holding company within the GKN plc Group, aside from holding the Group's external term loans, its dealings are almost exclusively with intra Group transactions. No significant risks and uncertainties have been identified other than those stated below. In addition, market and customer related risk and manufacturing and operational risk which could have a material impact on the future performance of the Company's subsidiaries and cause the financial results of those subsidiaries to differ materially from expected and historical performance are given in the annual report of GKN plc for 2010. Additional risks not currently known or which are regarded as immaterial could also affect future performance.
Financial risk management
The Company's activities form an integral part of the Group's strategy with regard to financial instruments. The Group's objectives, policies and strategies with regard to financial instruments are disclosed in the annual report and accounts of GKN plc. However, a summary of the key matters applicable to the Company are summarised below.
The Group co-ordinates all treasury activities through a central function whose purpose is to manage the financial risks of the Group as described below and to secure short and long term funding at the minimum cost to the Group. The central treasury function operates within a framework of clearly defined GKN plc Board approved policies and procedures and is not permitted to make use of financial instruments or other derivatives other than to hedge identified exposures. Speculative use of such instruments or derivatives is not permitted, and none has occurred during the year.
The Group is exposed to a variety of market risks, including the effects of changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. In the normal course of business, the Group also faces risks that are either non-financial or non-quantifiable, including country and credit risk. As an investment and holding company within the Group, the Company seeks to manage each of these risks as follows:
Currency risk
The Group has transactional currency exposures arising from sales or purchases by operating subsidiaries in currencies other than the subsidiaries' functional currency, the most significant being the US dollar and the euro. Under the Group's foreign exchange policy, transaction exposures are hedged, once they are known, mainly through the use of forward foreign exchange contracts.
Credit risk
The Group is exposed to credit-related losses in the event of non-performance by counterparties to financial instruments, which include trade debtors. Credit risk relating to financial institutions is mitigated by the Group's policy of only selecting counterparties with a strong investment graded long term credit rating, normally at least A- or equivalent, and assigning financial limits to individual counterparties.
Interest rate and liquidity risk
The Company funds its operations through a mixture of retained earnings and borrowing facilities and has sought to minimise its exposure to an upward change in interest rates by using fixed rate debt instruments.
The borrowing facilities in the main relate to capital market borrowings which consist of GBP350 million 6.75% bonds maturing in 2019 and GBP176 million 7.0% bonds maturing in 2012.
Pension risk
GKN Holdings plc is the principal employer for the UK defined benefit pension scheme which was in deficit by GBP71 million as at 31 December 2010. Deterioration in asset values, changes to real long term interest rates or the strengthening of longevity assumptions could lead to a further increase in the deficit or give rise to additional funding requirements. The Group's pension deficit is recorded in the consolidated financial statements of GKN plc and no deficit is recorded in these company accounts.
DIRECTORS' RESPONSIBILITY STATEMENT
The Directors are responsible for preparing the Annual Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations. Company law requires the Directors to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under that law, the Directors have prepared the company financial statements in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards and applicable law). Under company law, the Directors must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the company, and of the profit or loss for that period.
In preparing these financial statements, the Directors are required to select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently, make judgements and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent, state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements and prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the company will continue in business.
The Directors are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the company's transactions, disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the company, and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

The operating activities of the Group are largely structured according to the markets served; automotive, aerospace and the land systems markets. Automotive is managed according to product groups; driveline and powder metallurgy. Reportable segments derive their sales from the manufacture of product. Revenue from services, inter segment trading and royalties is not significant. On 16 June 2010 the Group announced the formation of GKN Land Systems. Land Systems brought together the operations of GKN OffHighway (excluding Axles), GKN AutoStructures and GKN Industrial and Distribution Services. Land Systems builds on existing strengths in the agricultural, mining and construction equipment markets with a strategic focus on developing these and new markets in defence vehicles, mass transit and renewable energy. AutoStructures was included in the former Other Automotive segment and IDS was included in the Driveline segment. The remaining businesses in the former Other Automotive reportable segment, Emitec and Cylinder Liners, are no longer reportable and are included as reconciling items as Other businesses. Comparative information has been restated. Driveline, Aerospace and Land Systems are operating and reportable segments. Powder Metallurgy comprises GKN Sinter Metals and Hoeganaes Corporation. a) Sales ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Automotive --------------------- Powder Land Driveline Metallurgy Aerospace Systems Total GBPm GBPm GBPm GBPm GBPm --------------------- --------- ---------- --------- ------- ----- 2010 Subsidiaries 2,180 759 1,451 664 Joint ventures 253 - - 35 --------------------- --------- ---------- --------- ------- 2,433 759 1,451 699 5,342 --------------------- --------- ---------- --------- ------- Other businesses 87 --------------------- --------- ---------- --------- ------- ----- Management sales 5,429 Businesses sold and closed - Axles 10 Less: Joint venture sales (355) --------------------- --------- ---------- --------- ------- ----- Income statement - sales 5,084 --------------------- --------- ---------- --------- ------- ----- 2009 - restated Subsidiaries 1,628 512 1,486 569 Joint ventures 175 - - 24 --------------------- --------- ---------- --------- ------- 1,803 512 1,486 593 4,394 --------------------- --------- ---------- --------- ------- Other businesses 60 --------------------- --------- ---------- --------- ------- ----- Management sales 4,454 Businesses sold and closed - Axles 14 Less: Joint venture sales (245) --------------------- --------- ---------- --------- ------- ----- Income statement - sales 4,223 --------------------- --------- ---------- --------- ------- ----- b) Trading profit ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Automotive --------------------- Powder Land Driveline Metallurgy Aerospace Systems Total GBPm GBPm GBPm GBPm GBPm --------------------- --------- ---------- --------- ------- ----- 2010 Trading profit before depreciation, impairment and amortisation 238 84 209 49 Depreciation and impairment of property, plant and equipment (107) (30) (39) (15) Amortisation of operating intangible assets (3) - (6) (1) --------------------- --------- ---------- --------- ------- Trading profit - subsidiaries 128 54 164 33 Trading profit/(loss) - joint ventures 41 - (2) 4 --------------------- --------- ---------- --------- ------- 169 54 162 37 422 --------------------- --------- ---------- --------- ------- Other businesses 3 Corporate and unallocated costs (13) --------------------- --------- ---------- --------- ------- ----- Management trading profit 412 Less: Joint venture trading profit (44) --------------------- --------- ---------- --------- ------- ----- Income Statement - Trading profit 368 --------------------- --------- ---------- --------- ------- ----- 2009 - restated Trading profit before depreciation, impairment and amortisation 95 24 217 12 Depreciation and impairment of property, plant and equipment (107) (30) (41) (15) Amortisation of operating intangible assets (3) (1) (6) (1) --------------------- --------- ---------- --------- ------- Trading profit/(loss) - subsidiaries (15) (7) 170 (4) Trading profit/(loss) - joint ventures 25 - (1) 1 --------------------- --------- ---------- --------- ------- 10 (7) 169 (3) 169 --------------------- --------- ---------- --------- ------- Other businesses (1) Corporate and unallocated costs (12) --------------------- --------- ---------- --------- ------- ----- Management trading profit 156 Less: Joint venture trading profit (23) --------------------- --------- ---------- --------- ------- ----- Income Statement - Trading profit 133 --------------------- --------- ---------- --------- ------- ----- No income statement items between trading profit and profit before tax are allocated to management trading profit, which is the Group's segmental measure of profit or loss.

Short-time working arrangements concluded in the year with GBP2 million charged in European and Japanese operations. The impairment reversal arose in the UK following completion of the sale of one site. In Powder Metallurgy, a further GBP1 million of integration costs were charged in finalisation of the European rationalisation. In Aerospace, actions included the announcement of the closure of one facility in France, with a GBP2 million charge made in respect of redundancy costs. In Land Systems, actions initiated in the former OffHighway segment and AutoStructures and Industrial & Distribution Services businesses have continued, including rationalisation at a UK facility with associated redundancy costs of GBP1 million, restructuring of the European distribution network including redundancy charges of GBP1 million and fixed asset impairments of GBP1 million and reorganisation costs of GBP1 million associated with manufacturing concentration initiatives in North America. Restructuring cash outflow in respect of 2008 and 2004 restructuring plans amounts to GBP55 million (2009: GBP99 million) and proceeds from sale of fixed assets put out of use as part of the restructuring programme of GBP2 million were recognised in the year (2009: nil). 2 Operating profit (continued) (c) Change in value of derivative and other financial instruments 2010 2009 GBPm GBPm ------------------------------------------------------ ------- -------- Forward currency contracts (not hedge accounted) (3) 106 Embedded derivatives 3 (29) Commodity contracts (not hedge accounted) - 2 ------------------------------------------------------ ------- -------- - 79 Net gains and losses on intra-group funding Arising in year 12 5 Reclassified in year - (8) -------------------------------------------------- ------- -------- 12 (3) ------------------------------------------------------ 12 76 ------------------------------------------------------ ------- -------- IAS 39 requires derivative financial instruments to be valued at the balance sheet date and any difference between that value and the intrinsic value of the instrument to be reflected in the balance sheet as an asset or liability.

This requires an estimation of the current tax liability together with an assessment of the temporary differences which arise as a consequence of differing accounting and tax treatments. These temporary differences result in deferred tax assets or liabilities which are measured using substantively enacted tax rates expected to apply when the temporary differences reverse. Recognition of deferred tax assets, and hence credits to the income statement, is based on forecast future taxable income and therefore involves the exercise of management's judgement regarding the future financial performance of particular legal entities or tax groups in which the deferred tax assets are recognised. The Group is subject to many different tax jurisdictions and tax rules as a consequence of its geographic spread. It is also subject to tax audits which, by their nature, are often complex and can require several years to conclude. The total accrual for income tax in any period requires the exercise of management judgement in respect of the interpretation of country specific tax law and the likelihood of challenge of uncertain tax positions and their subsequent settlement. Where appropriate, estimates of interest and penalties are included in these provisions for uncertain tax positions. Tax benefits are not recognised unless it is probable that the tax positions are sustainable. As amounts set aside in any period could differ from actual tax liabilities, adjustments may be required in subsequent periods which may have a material impact on the Group's income statement and/or cash tax payments. Payments in respect of tax liabilities for an accounting period comprise payments on account and payments on the final resolution of open items with tax authorities and, as a result, there can be substantial differences between the charge in the income statement and cash tax payments. 2010 2009 Tax reconciliation GBPm % GBPm% --------------------------------------------- ---- ------- ---- ----- Profit/(loss) before tax 346 (54) Less share of post-tax earnings of joint ventures (35) (21) Profit/(loss) before tax excluding joint ventures 311 (75) --------------------------------------------- ---- ------- ---- ------ Tax (charge)/credit calculated at 28% standard UK corporate tax rate (87) (28) 21 28 Differences between UK and overseas corporate tax rates 8 3 23 Non-deductible and non-taxable items and other permanent differences (20) (6) (13) (17) Utilisation of previously unrecognised tax losses and other assets 20 6 11 Other changes in unrecognised deferred tax assets 72 23 (41) (55) Changes in tax rates (2) (1) 23 --------------------------------------------- ---- ------- ---- ----- Current year tax (charge)/credit on ordinary activities (9) (3) (28) (37) Net movement on provision for uncertain tax positions (27) (9) 25 33 Other adjustments in respect of prior years 6 2 8 11 ------- Total tax (charge)/credit for the year (30) (10) 57 --------------------------------------------- ---- ------- ---- ----- 4 Taxation (continued) (b) Tax included in comprehensive income 2010 2009 GBPm GBPm --------------------------------------------------------- ---------- ------- Deferred tax on post-employment obligations 46 14 Deferred tax on non-qualifying assets - (1) Deferred tax on foreign currency gains and losses on intra-group funding (3) (2) Current tax on post-employment obligations 14 - Current tax on foreign currency gains and losses on intra-group funding 1 6 -------------------------------------------------------------- ---------- ------- 58 17 -------------------------------------------------------------- ---------- ------- (c) Current tax 2010 2009 GBPm GBPm --------------------------------------------------------- ---------- ------- Assets 10 13 Liabilities (100) (79) -------------------------------------------------------------- ---------- ------- (90) (66) -------------------------------------------------------------- ---------- ------- (d) Recognised deferred tax 2010 2009 GBPm GBPm --------------------------------------------------------- ---------- ------- Deferred tax assets 171 71 Deferred tax liabilities (63) (57) -------------------------------------------------------------- ---------- ------- 108 14 -------------------------------------------------------------- ---------- ------- There is a net GBP53 million deferred tax credit to the income statement in the period, primarily on account of the recognition of previously unrecognised future tax deductions in the US. In addition, a deferred tax credit of GBP46 million has been recorded directly in other comprehensive income in relation to the availability of future tax deductions for post-employment obligations contributions in the US and UK. The recognition of these assets has been based on management projections which indicate the availability of taxable profits to absorb the deductions in future years. In territories where there is more uncertainty regarding the availability of a sufficient level of future taxable profits, deferred tax assets have not been recognised in full. The movements in deferred tax assets and liabilities (prior to the offsetting of balances within the same jurisdiction as permitted by IAS 12) during the period are shown below: Assets Liabilities Total -------------------------- --------------- Post Tax Other Fixed Other employment losses assets obligations GBPm GBPm GBPm GBPm GBPm GBPm ------------------------ ----------- ------ ----- -------- ----- ------- At 1 January 2010 74 45 46 (145) (6) 14 Other movements 2 - - (2) - - Included in the income statement (11) 75 1 (12) - 53 Included in other comprehensive income 46 - - - (3) 43 Businesses acquired - - - (3) - (3) Currency variations - - - 1 - 1 ----------------------------- ----------- ------ ----- -------- ----- ------- At 31 December 2010 111 120 47 (161) (9) 108 ----------------------------- ----------- ------ ----- -------- ----- ------- At 1 January 2009 44 27 87 (166) (3) (11) Other movements 32 - (32) - - - Included in the income statement (9) 19 (5) 10 - 15 Included in other comprehensive income 14 - - (1) (2) 11 Businesses acquired 1 - - - - 1 Currency variations (8) (1) (4) 12 (1) (2) ----------------------------- ----------- ------ ----- -------- ----- ------- At 31 December 2009 74 45 46 (145) (6) 14 ----------------------------- ----------- ------ ----- -------- ----- ------- Deferred tax assets totalling GBP39 million (2009: GBP41 million) have been recognised relating to territories where tax losses have been incurred in the year. It is anticipated that future profitability arising from restructuring and other actions will result in their realisation. 4 Taxation (continued) (e) Unrecognised deferred tax assets Deferred tax assets have not been recognised in relation to certain tax losses and other temporary differences on the basis that the Group's ability to utilise them in the future is uncertain. The gross and tax values of these unrecognised assets together with any expiry periods, where relevant, are shown below. 2010 2009 Tax Tax value Gross Expiry value Gross Expiry GBPm GBPm period GBPm GBPm period --------------------- ------ ----- --------- ------ ----- --------- Tax losses - with expiry: national 215 619 2011-2030 293 846 2010-2029 Tax losses - with expiry: local 41 480 2011-2030 41 491 2010-2029 Tax losses - without expiry 105 384 98 323 --------------------- ------ ----- --------- ------ ----- --------- Total tax losses 361 1,483 432 1,660 --------------------- ------ ----- --------- ------ ----- --------- Post employment obligations 66 245 149 518 Other temporary differences 38 136 43 142 --------------------- ------ ----- --------- ------ ----- --------- Total other temporary differences 104 381 192 660 --------------------- ------ ----- --------- ------ ----- --------- Unrecognised deferred tax assets 465 1,864 624 2,320 --------------------- ------ ----- --------- ------ ----- --------- No deferred tax is recognised on the unremitted earnings of overseas subsidiaries except where the distribution of such profits is planned. If the earnings were remitted in full tax of GBP25 million (2009: GBP19 million) would be payable. (f) Pension partnership Note 10 refers to an asset-backed cash payment arrangement which the Group has agreed with the Trustee of the UK pension scheme. As a result of this arrangement, the Group will obtain UK tax deductions spread over 4 years for the GBP331 million initial cash pension contribution. Over the next 20 years, the Group is also expected to obtain tax deductions for the remaining GBP269 million of the total amount likely to be paid to the UK pension scheme. Where there is insufficient tax capacity to utilise these two types of tax deductions as they fall due, they will be carried forward as tax losses with the potential to be used to reduce future taxable profits in the UK. As this arrangement has been put in place to fund a pension deficit which arose partly as a result of actuarial losses, the current tax benefits for the deductions will be reflected partly in other comprehensive income and partly in the income statement as they are utilised. Current tax benefits of GBP17 million (GBP3 million income statement; GBP14 million other comprehensive income) have been recognised in the year in this respect. A deferred tax asset of GBP26 million has been recognised on the balance sheet (GBP5 million income statement; GBP21 million other comprehensive income) in respect of the initial cash pension contribution. Further deferred tax assets may become recognisable in the future. Similar to the current tax credits referred to above, the deferred tax credits for these deferred tax assets are recognised partly in other comprehensive income and partly in the income statement. (g) Changes in UK tax rate The UK Government has announced a phased reduction in the mainstream rate of UK corporation tax from 28% to 23% over the next four years. As at 31 December 2010, a reduction to 27%, had been enacted, with the result that the recognised UK deferred tax asset was valued at 27%. As further reductions to reach the anticipated 23% rate are enacted, there will be a corresponding reduction in the value of UK deferred tax assets since deferred tax is measured at the prevailing tax rate. Since a large part of the potential UK deferred tax asset currently remains unrecognised, there is not expected to be a material impact on the tax rate. (h) Franked investment income - litigation Since 2003 the Group has been involved in litigation with HMRC in respect of various Advance Corporation Tax payments made and Corporate Tax paid on certain foreign dividend receipts which, in its view, were levied by HMRC in breach of GKN's EU community law rights. During 2009, GKN received a GBP4 million payment on account from HMRC in respect of the litigation, but following a Court of Appeal judgement issued on 23 February 2010 GBP3 million of this payment on account was repaid to HMRC. This has had no impact on the Income Statement. A further Court of Appeal hearing to decide whether the remaining payment on account should be repaid will take place in early 2011. The main case has been appealed both to the UK Supreme Court (on effective remedies) and to the European Court of Justice (for further guidance on breach of community law) and these judgements are not expected until late 2011/early 2012. The continuing complexity of the case and uncertainty over the issues raised means that it is not possible to predict the final outcome of the litigation with any reasonable degree of certainty and, as a result, no contingent asset has been recognised. 5 Discontinued operations 2010 2009 GBPm GBPm -------------------------------------------------------- ------- ------ Reversal of 2008 discontinued tax charge - 5 ----------------------------------------------------------- ------- ------ There were no discontinued operations in 2010. 6 Dividends An interim dividend of GBP100 million was paid to group undertakings on 21 December 2010 (2009: nil). 7 Investments in joint ventures Group share of results 2010 2009 GBPm GBPm ----------------------------------------------------------- ------- ------------- Sales 355 245 Operating costs (311) (222) --------------------------------------------------------------- ------- ------------- Trading profit 44 23 Net financing costs (1) (1) --------------------------------------------------------------- ------- ------------- Profit before taxation 43 22 Taxation (7) (4) --------------------------------------------------------------- ------- ------------- Share of post-tax earnings - before exceptional and non-trading items 36 18 Amortisation of non-operating intangible assets arising on business combinations and Other net financing charges, including tax of nil (1) - Impairment reversal, including tax of nil - 3 --------------------------------------------------------------- ------- ------------- Share of post-tax earnings 35 21 --------------------------------------------------------------- ------- ------------- Group share of net book amount 2010 2009 -------------------------- ------------------------------- Group Group share Provisions Net share Provisions Net of for book of for book equity impairment amount equity impairment amount GBPm GBPm GBPm GBPm GBPm GBPm ---------------------- ------ ---------- ------ ------- ------------ -------- At 1 January 113 (1) 112 129 (10) 119 Share of post-tax earnings of joint ventures 35 - 35 18 3 21 Utilisation of provision (1) 1 - (1) 1 - Actuarial gains on post-employment obligations, including deferred tax - - - - - - Dividends paid (23) - (23) (15) - (15) Additions 10 - 10 2 - 2 Disposals - - - (7) 4 (3) Currency variations 9 - 9 (13) 1 (12) ---------------------- ------ ---------- ------ ------- ------------ -------- At 31 December 143 - 143 113 (1) 112 ---------------------- ------ ---------- ------ ------- ------------ -------- 2010 2009 GBPm GBPm ----------------------------------------------------------- ------- ------------- Non-current assets 117 86 Current assets 139 99 Current liabilities (87) (61) Non-current liabilities (26) (12) --------------------------------------------------------------- ------- ------------- 143 112 --------------------------------------------------------------- ------- ------------- The joint ventures have no significant contingent liabilities to which the Group is exposed and nor has the Group any significant contingent liabilities in relation to its interest in the joint ventures.

Notes Denotes borrowings at fixed rates of interest until maturity. All other borrowings and cash and cash equivalents are at (i) variable interest rates. The average interest rate on short term bank deposits was 0.5% (2009: 0.5%). Deposits at 31 December 2010 had no fixed (ii) maturity date (2009: no fixed maturity date). The interest rate on bank deposits was 2% (2009: 0.85%); (iii) deposits mature in 27 May 2011 (2009: 1 April 2010). Finance lease obligations gross of finance charges fall due as follows: GBP1 million within one year (2009: GBP1 million), GBP3 million in one to five years (2009: GBP3 million) and GBP1 million in more than five years (2009: (iv) GBP1 million). GBP11 million (2009: GBP9 million) of the Group's cash and cash equivalents are held by the Group's captive insurance company to maintain solvency requirements and as collateral for Letters of Credit issued to the Group's principal external insurance providers.

Defined benefit schemes - measurement and assumptions Independent actuarial valuations of all major defined benefit scheme assets and liabilities were carried out at 31 December 2010. The present value of the defined benefit obligation, the related current service cost and the past service cost were measured using the projected unit credit method. (a) Key assumptions were: UK Americas Europe ROW % % % % ---------------------------------------------------------- ---------------- ---------------- ---------------- --------------- 2010 Rate of increase in pensionable salaries 4.35 3.5 2.50 - Rate of increase in payment and 2.90 deferred pensions 0 2.0 1.75 n/a Discount rate 5.40 5.5 5.00 1.75 Inflation assumption 3.35 2.5 1.75 0.75 Rate of increases in medical costs: Initial/long term 6.5/6.0 9.0/5.0 n/a n/a --- ----------------------------------------------------- ---------------- ---------------- ---------------- --------------- 2009 Rate of increase in pensionable salaries 4.25 3.5 2.50 3.5 Rate of increase in payment and deferred pensions 3.40 2.0 1.75 n/a Discount rate 5.70 6.0 5.40 2.0 Inflation assumption 3.25 2.5 1.75 1.0 Rate of increases in medical costs: Initial/long term 7.0/4.5 9.0/5.0 n/a n/a --- ----------------------------------------------------- ---------------- ---------------- ---------------- --------------- The discount rates in the table above for the UK and Europe were referenced against specific iBoxx indices, whilst the Citigroup liability index was the reference point for the USA discount rate. The reference for the UK discount rate was the yield as at 31 December on the iBoxx GBP Corporate rated AA bonds with a maturity of 15 years plus. The reference for the European discount rate was the yield as at 31 December on the iBoxx Euro Corporate rated AA bonds with a maturity of 10 years plus of 4.7%, adjusted to reflect the duration of liabilities. For the USA, the discount rate matched the Citigroup liability index as at 31 December 2010 of 5.5%. The underlying mortality assumptions for the major schemes are as follows: United Kingdom Such is the size and profile of the UK scheme that data on the scheme's mortality experience is collected and reviewed annually. The key current year mortality assumptions for the scheme use S1NA (year of birth) mortality tables allowing for medium cohort projections with a minimum improvement of 1% and a +0.5 age rating for male members and a +0.7 year age rating for female members. Using these assumptions a male aged 65 lives for a further 20.6 years and a female aged 65 lives for a further 23.2 years. A male aged 45 is expected to live a further 22.5 years from age 65 and a female aged 45 is expected to live a further 25.1 years from age 65. The prior period valuation used PA92 (year of birth) tables allowing for medium cohort but without a minimum improvement. The prior period age adjustments to PA92 (year of birth tables) were equivalent to that of the age rating adjustment to S1NA (year of birth) tables. Overseas In the USA, PPA2010 tables have been used whilst in Germany the RT2005-G tables have again been used. In the USA the longevity assumption for a male aged 65 is that he lives a further 19 years (female 21 years) whilst in Germany a male aged 65 lives for a further 18.1 years (female 22.4 years). The longevity assumption for a USA male currently aged 45 is that he also lives for a further 19 years once attaining 65 years (females 21 years), with the German equivalent assumption for a male being 18.2 years (female 23.6 years). These assumptions are based solely on the prescribed tables not on actual GKN experience. Assumption sensitivity analysis The impact of a one percentage point movement in the primary assumptions on the defined benefit net obligations as at 31 December 2010 is set out below: UK Americas Europe ROW ---------------------- ------------------------ ------------------------- ------------------------ Income Income Income Income Liabilities statement Liabilities statement Liabilities statement Liabilities statement GBPm GBPm GBPm GBPm GBPm GBPm GBPm GBPm -------------------------- ----------- --------- ------------- --------- ----------- ------------ ------------- --------- Discount rate +1% 314 2.8 45 (0.2) 49 0.4 6 (0.3) Discount rate -1% (391) (1.8) (56) 0.2 (58) - (6) 0.3 Rate of inflation +1% (298) (21.3) - - (33) (2.2) - - Rate of inflation -1% 246 18.2 - - 30 2.0 - - Rate of increase in medical costs +1% (1) - (1) (0.2) - - - - Rate of increase in medical costs -1% 1 - 1 0.2 - - - - -------------------------- ----------- --------- ------------- --------- ----------- ------------ ------------- --------- 10 Post-employment obligations (continued) (b) Defined benefit schemes - reporting The amounts included in operating profit are: Trading Profit Redundancy Restructuring UK Pension Employee and other and scheme benefit employment impairment curtailment expense amounts charges Total GBPm GBPm GBPm GBPm GBPm ------------------------ ---------- --------------- --------------- ------------- ------------ 2010 Current service cost (35) - - - (35) Past service cost 1 (1) - - - Settlement/curtailments 9 - - 68 77 ----------------------------- ---------- --------------- --------------- ------------- ------------ (25) (1) - 68 42 ----------------------------- ---------- --------------- --------------- ------------- ------------ 2009 Current service cost (34) - - - (34) Past service cost 5 - (1) - 4 Settlement/curtailments 7 - - - 7 ----------------------------- ---------- --------------- --------------- ------------- ------------ (22) - (1) - (23) ----------------------------- ---------- --------------- --------------- ------------- ------------ The benefits from an enhanced transfer value exercise in the UK together with scheme design changes in Japan resulted in a GBP9 million settlement/curtailment credit to Trading profit.

Equity returns are developed based on the selection of the equity risk premium above the risk-free rate which is measured in accordance with the yield on government bonds. Bond returns are selected by reference to the yields on government and corporate debt, as appropriate to the plan's holdings of these instruments, all other asset classes returns are determined by reference to current experience. The pension partnership interest has been valued on a discounted cash flow basis. The valuation considered separately the profiles of the originating royalty and rental income streams using the Group's current budget and forecast data with other factors considered being related expenses including taxation, timing of the distributions, exchange rates, bond yields and the Group's weighted average cost of capital. The actual return on plan assets was GBP230 million (2009: GBP293 million). 10 Post-employment obligations (continued) History of experience gains and losses 2010 UK Americas Europe ROW ---------------------------------- ------- -------- ------ ------- Experience adjustments arising on scheme assets: Amount - GBPm 77 10 - (1) Percentage of scheme assets 3.3% 4.1% - (4.3%) Experience gains/(losses) on scheme liabilities: Amount - GBPm 71 (5) (1) - Percentage of the present value of scheme liabilities 2.9% (1.3%) (0.3%) Present value of scheme liabilities - GBPm (2,448) (398) (369) (45) Fair value of scheme assets - GBPm 2,364 245 28 23 ------- -------- ------ ------- Deficit - GBPm (84) (153) (341) (22) ---------------------------------- ------- -------- ------ ------- 2009 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Experience adjustments arising on scheme assets: Amount - GBPm 152 21 (1) - Percentage of scheme assets 7.9% 9.8% (3.7%) - Experience gains/(losses) on scheme liabilities: Amount - GBPm - 1 6 - Percentage of the present value of scheme liabilities - 0.3% 1.7% - Present value of scheme liabilities - GBPm (2,440) (355) (352) (39) Fair value of scheme assets - GBPm 1,930 215 27 18 ------- -------- ------ ------- Deficit - GBPm (510) (140) (325) (21) ---------------------------------- ------- -------- ------ ------- 2008 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Experience adjustments arising on scheme assets: Amount - GBPm (539) (86) - (4) Percentage of scheme assets (30.6%) (43.1%) - (21.0%) Experience gains/(losses) on scheme liabilities: Amount - GBPm 7 2 (5) - Percentage of the present value of scheme liabilities 0.3% 0.5% (1.4%) - Present value of scheme liabilities - GBPm (2,043) (401) (353) (46) Fair value of scheme assets - GBPm 1,759 202 29 19 Deficit - GBPm (284) (199) (324) (27) ---------------------------------- ------- -------- ------ ------- 2007 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Experience adjustments arising on scheme assets: Amount - GBPm 21 - (1) (1) Percentage of scheme assets 0.9% - (4.8%) (7.1%) Experience gains/(losses) on scheme liabilities: Amount - GBPm (7) 4 (3) - Percentage of the present value of scheme liabilities (0.3%) 1.6% (1.4%) - Present value of scheme liabilities - GBPm (2,264) (270) (268) (24) Fair value of scheme assets - GBPm 2,248 212 21 14 Deficit - GBPm (16) (58) (247) (10) ---------------------------------- ------- -------- ------ ------- 2006 ---------------------------------- ------- -------- ------ ------- Experience adjustments arising on scheme assets: Amount - GBPm 35 15 (1) - Percentage of scheme assets 1.6% 7.6% (4.5%) - Experience gains/(losses) on scheme liabilities: Amount - GBPm 15 - - (1) Percentage of the present value of scheme liabilities 0.6% - - (6.7%) Present value of scheme liabilities - GBPm (2,375) (301) (277) (23) Fair value of scheme assets - GBPm 2,187 196 19 13 ---------------------------------- ------- -------- ------ ------- Deficit - GBPm (188) (105) (258) (10) ---------------------------------- ------- -------- ------ ------- (c) Defined contribution schemes The Group operates a number of defined contribution schemes outside the United Kingdom. The charge to the income statement in the year was GBP15 million (2009: GBP13 million). (d) Pension partnership interest On 31 March 2010 the Group agreed an asset-backed cash payment arrangement with the Trustee of the UK Pension scheme to help address the UK pension funding deficit. In connection with the arrangement certain UK freehold properties and a non-exclusive licence over the GKN trade marks, together with associated rental and royalty rights, were transferred to a limited partnership established by the Group. The partnership is controlled by and its results are consolidated by the Group. The fair value of the assets transferred was GBP535 million. On 31 March 2010, the Group made a special contribution to the UK Pension scheme of GBP331 million and on the same date the UK Pension scheme used this contribution to acquire a nominal limited interest in the partnership for its fair value of GBP331 million. The UK Pension scheme's nominal partnership interest entitles it to a distribution from the income of the partnership of GBP30 million per annum for 20 years subject to a discretion exercisable by the Group in certain circumstances. At inception the discounted value of the cash distributions was assessed at GBP331 million which was recognised as a pension plan asset and as a non-controlling interest in equity. The first distribution of GBP23 million for the period from 31 March to 31 December 2010 is expected to be made in the second quarter of 2011.
