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.

Notes to the Anouncement
For the year ended 31 December 2010
1 Segmental analysis
The Group's reportable segments have been determined based on reports
reviewed by the Executive Committee led by the Chief Executive. 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.

retiree benefit arrangements, net of expenses, arose as follows:
Driveline GBP6 million and Corporate GBP2 million (2009: Driveline
GBP3 million; Powder Metallurgy GBP1 million; Aerospace GBP5 million
and Corporate GBP1 million). As a result of changed customer contract
requirements, 2009 trading profit included a GBP3 million credit
from the release of unutilised provisions established as an acquisition
in an Aerospace business.
Restructuring and impairment disclosures, including segmental
analysis, are included in note 2b.

In Driveline, reorganisation costs of GBP16 million have been
charged in respect of the announced UK and Japanese site rationalisation
initiatives and redundancy and reorganisation charges of GBP12
million were made regarding headcount and capacity reduction
actions in European operations. 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).

Tax rate
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 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.

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:

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.

(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.

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.

The following methods and assumptions were used in estimating
fair values for financial instruments:
Unsecured bank overdrafts, other short term bank borrowings,
bank balances and cash and short term bank deposits approximate
to book value due to their short maturities. For other amounts,
the repayments which the Group is committed to make have been
discounted at the relevant interest rates applicable at 31
December 2010. Bonds included within other borrowings have
been valued using quoted closing market values.

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.
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.

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

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.
A number of scheme design changes introduced in UK pension arrangements
that included a move from final salary basis to that of career
average resulted in a curtailment credit of GBP68 million.

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 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).

(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.
