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. In compliance with DTR 6.3.5, a description of the Company's
principal risks and uncertainties, details of related party transactions and a
responsibility statement are set out below. A condensed set of financial
statements are also appended. The 2009 full year results announcement issued by
GKN plc on 25 February 2010 included an indication of important events that
occurred during the year for the Group. The GKN Holdings plc 2009 Annual Report
is available on GKN plc's website at www.gkn.com.
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 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 2009. 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 coordinates 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 GBP201 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 GBP499 million as at 31 December 2009.
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 accounts.
RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
The Company is wholly owned by GKN plc, the Company's immediate and ultimate
parent company. GKN plc is not managed independently of the GKN Holding plc
Group and therefore funds its activities through interest bearing and
non-interest bearing current accounts with GKN (United Kingdom) plc, a
subsidiary undertaking of the Company. Where charged, interest is calculated at
LIBOR plus 1%. During the year, GKN plc charged the Group interest amounting to
nil (2008: GBP1 million).
In the ordinary course of business, sales and purchases of goods take place
between subsidiaries and joint venture companies priced on an 'arm's length'
basis. Sales by subsidiaries to joint ventures in 2009 totalled GBP62 million
(2008: GBP74 million). The amount due at the year end in respect of such sales
was GBP14 million (2008: GBP11 million). Purchases by subsidiaries from joint
ventures in 2009 totalled GBP4 million (2008: GBP11 million). The amount due at
the year end in respect of such purchases was nil (2008: GBP3 million).
At 31 December 2009 a Group subsidiary had GBP1 million receivable (2008: nil)
from a joint venture in respect of a loan facility bearing interest at six month
LIBOR plus 1%.
During the year, trademark fees amounting to GBP0.9 million (2008: GBP0.9
million) were charged to GKN Driveline (India) Ltd, a subsidiary in which the
Company ultimately owns 97% of the share capital.

| | The Group's reportable segments have been determined based on reports |
| | reviewed by the GKN plc Executive Committee led by the Chief Executive |
| | of GKN plc, the Chairman of the Company. The operating activities of |
| | the Group are structured according to the markets served: automotive, |
| | aerospace and off-highway. Automotive is managed according to product |
| | groups: driveline, structural and other components and powder |
| | metallurgy. Reportable segments derive their sales from the |
| | manufacture of products. Revenue from services, inter segment trading |
| | and royalties is not significant. |

| | 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. |
| | |
| | Trading profit in 2009 includes a GBP5 million surplus on realisation |
| | of Aerospace fixed assets. As a result of changed customer contract |
| | requirements trading profit included a GBP3 million credit (2008: |
| | GBP5 million credit) from the release of unutilised provisions |
| | established on acquisition in an Aerospace business. Credits included |
| | within trading profit in respect of changes to US retiree benefit |
| | arrangements, net of expenses, arose as follows: Driveline GBP3 |
| | million (2008: GBP8 million); Powder Metallurgy GBP1 million (2008: |
| | GBP3 million); Aerospace GBP5 million (2008: nil); and Corporate GBP1 |
| | million (2008: nil). In 2008 trading profit included a GBP3 million |
| | charge in respect of abortive acquisition costs in Driveline. |
| | EBITDA is subsidiary trading profit before depreciation, impairment |
| | and amortisation charges included in trading profit. |
| | Restructuring and impairment disclosures, including segmental |
| | analysis, are included in note 3 (b). |

| | The Group's 2004 restructuring programme concluded in the first half of 2008. The 2004 programme charges |
| | in 2008 related to Driveline. In response to the severe economic downturn in our automotive markets and in |
| | anticipation of activity reductions in both off-highway and aerospace markets, the Group commenced further |
| | restructuring in the final quarter of 2008. |
| | |
| | The 2008 programme restructuring actions comprise facility and operation closures, permanent headcount |
| | reductions achieved through redundancy programmes and the structured use of short-time working |
| | arrangements, available through national or state legislation, by European, Japanese and North American |
| | subsidiaries. Where short-time working is utilised as the restructuring response to the severe economic |
| | and activity downturn it is the most cost-effective option available at that time. Employees subject to |
| | short-time working arrangements are not engaged in any activity (productive or non-productive) for or on |
| | behalf of the Group. Short-time working charges represent the labour and associated costs borne by the |
| | Group in respect of these employees for the period of short-time work. |

| | In Driveline, the closures of two facilities were announced in 2009 as part of the UK |
| | rationalisation programme with associated redundancy, pension and reorganisation charges of GBP6 |
| | million being made. Fixed asset impairments relating to this programme were charged in 2008 |
| | with subsequent utilisation of some of these assets resulting in partial reversal in 2009. In |
| | Japan, one facility closure was announced in 2009 as part of a facility rationalisation review, |
| | with activity transferred to another Japanese operation. Impairments and reorganisation costs |
| | of GBP5 million were charged. Elsewhere, headcount reductions have been progressing mainly in |
| | Germany, Spain, France and Australia. Short-time working costs relate mainly to European and |
| | Japanese operations. Closure of one joint venture facility was concluded in the year with |
| | another joint venture sold. The Group's investments in these joint ventures were written off in |
| | 2008. The sale of the latter joint venture enabled a partial reversal of the prior year |
| | impairment charge to its net realisable value. |
| | |
| | In Other Automotive, actions continue relating to the ongoing rationalisation of a UK facility |
| | with charges incurred relating to redundancy and pension costs. |
| | |
| | In Powder Metallurgy, the closures of two facilities were announced in the year which, combined |
| | with the completion of the closure previously announced in 2008, resulted in a GBP6 million |
| | redundancy and reorganisation charge. Redundancy costs of GBP8 million were also charged in |
| | relation to ongoing fixed cost reduction programmes across North American and European |
| | operations. Short-time working costs relate mainly to European operations. |
| | |
| | In OffHighway, actions have been initiated in the period to concentrate/exit production for |
| | certain product categories in certain regions and concentrate activities on one area of |
| | operation. As a consequence the closures of five facilities and rationalisation of a sixth have |
| | been commenced with an associated cost of GBP5 million and impairments of GBP9 million. |
| | Redundancy charges of GBP11 million were also made in respect of capacity and fixed cost |
| | reductions. |
| | |
| | In Aerospace, the closures of two facilities were announced, one in the UK and one in North |
| | America, with a GBP2 million charge made in respect of redundancies, product transfer costs and |
| | asset impairments. A further GBP8 million redundancy charge was made for rationalisation |
| | actions at other facilities. |
| | |
| | Restructuring cash outflow in respect of 2008, 2004 and earlier periods' restructuring plans |
| | amounts to GBP99 million (2008: GBP28 million). |

| | 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. Any subsequent change in | |
| | value is reflected in the income statement unless hedge accounting | |
| | is achieved. Such movements do not affect cash flow or the | |
| | economic substance of the underlying transaction. In 2009 and | |

| | The Group is required to estimate the income tax due in each of the |
| | jurisdictions in which it operates. 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 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 therefore 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 is, |
| | therefore based on management judgement, interpretation of country |
| | specific tax law and the likelihood of challenge of uncertain tax |
| | positions and subsequent settlement. 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. Interest on provisions for uncertain tax positions is, where |
| | relevant, provided for in the tax charge. |

| | Goodwill is attributable to the value of the assembled workforce, expectation of winning |
| | future contracts with Airbus, gaining customer relationships with other customers and |
| | synergies. No technological rights or marketing related assets were acquired. |
| | |
| | Fair value adjustments to 'Provisions - other' relate to non-beneficial lease rentals. The |
| | Group was apportioned floor area for the wing component manufacturing and assembly operation |
| | out of the larger Airbus headlease. The freeholder is a third party and the full above |
| | market rental cost of the apportioned Airbus headlease rental is required by covenant with |
| | the freeholder to be passed from Airbus to the Group. The Group is committed to the lease |
| | for the remaining seventeen year term of the headlease. The provision has been discounted. |
| | |
| | The fair value of deferred and contingent consideration recognised upon acquisition includes |
| | GBP8 million (GBP9 million undiscounted) of consideration contingent upon Filton achieving |
| | certain levels of sales in 2013, 2014 and 2015. The undiscounted contingent consideration |
| | payable ranges from nil to GBP9 million. |
| | |
| | The acquisition date coincided with the first day of operations in 2009. During the year |
| | Filton contributed sales of GBP330 million and trading profit of GBP40 million. |

| | The Group's pension arrangements comprise various defined benefit and defined contribution schemes |
| | throughout the world. The main externally funded defined benefit pension schemes operate in the UK, US |
| | and Japan. In Europe, funds are retained within certain businesses to provide defined benefit pension |
| | benefits. In addition, in the US and UK a number of retirement plans are operated which provide |
| | certain employees with post-employment medical benefits. |

| | Independent actuarial valuations of all major defined benefit scheme assets and liabilities were |
| | carried out at 31 December 2009. 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. |

| | 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 5.1%, |
| | adjusted to reflect the duration of liabilities. For the USA, the discount rate matched the Citigroup |
| | liability index as at 31 December 2009 of 6.0%. |
| | |
| | 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 PA92 |
| | (Year of Birth) tables with a plus 2.5 year age adjustment to reflect actual mortality experience for |
| | the scheme together with medium cohort projected improvement in longevity. Using these assumptions a |
| | male aged 65 lives for a further 19.8 years, whilst a male aged 40 is expected to live a further 21 |
| | years after retiring at 65. The prior period valuations used the same mortality assumptions. |
| | |
+-----+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| | Overseas |
| | In the USA, CL2009 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 whilst in |
| | Germany for a further 18.1 years. The longevity assumption for a USA male currently aged 40 is that he |
| | also lives for a further 19 years once attaining 65 years, with the German equivalent assumption being |
| | 18.2 years. These assumptions are based solely on the prescribed tables not on actual GKN experience. |
| | |

| | | The expected return on plan assets is a blended average of projected long term |
| | | returns for the various asset classes. 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 actual return on plan assets was GBP293 million (2008: GBP467 million |
| | | negative). |
