CHAIRMAN'S REVIEW Chairman's Review

I am pleased to present the Report and Accounts for the AgustaWestland UK Pension Scheme (the “Scheme”) for the year ended 5 April 2014. The Trustee board monitors funding of the Scheme on a quarterly basis. The actuary’s 2013 annual report showed the Scheme funding ratio was 82%, which was an improvement on the previous year. We have seen a further improvement since this date and continue to monitor the funding position in preparation for the triennial valuation on 5 April 2014. The Scheme’s investment performance during this period has been good contributing to the improvement in the funding position. The return seeking assets in the portfolio produced a 4.9% return. However, the liability matching portfolio reduced in value, and this has resulted in a negative total portfolio return. However, the liability matching portfolio moves broadly in line with Scheme liabilities, so liabilities fell by a similar amount. Overall, we have seen an improved funding position over the year, with the funding ratio estimated to be 85% at 5 April 2014. This year we were pleased to receive an award for innovation in the 2014 Scheme of the Year Awards organised by Professional Pensions magazine. The award recognises the work, done jointly with the other Finmeccanica UK pension schemes, to introduce and govern our shared defined contribution (AVC) investment strategy and improve the flexibility and efficiency of our AVC arrangements which were launched in September 2013. We were also finalists in the categories for communication, AVC investment strategy and medium sized defined benefit pension scheme. The Trustee is committed to developing communications with the membership. In 2013 we carried out a survey about our communications which shows that the membership view our communications positively. We have built on feedback from the survey and are now offering a series of workshops to the membership which have been very well received. The Scheme website is well used and we continue to develop modelling capabilities and in 2014 hope to offer information about State Pension forecasts alongside our existing modeller. Our Trustee board continues to demonstrate great commitment to the role in the interests of all members. I am grateful to them and our support staff for all their hard work. Unfortunately, this year we have said goodbye to two of our Trustee Directors, Janie Beizsley and Jim Hawke, and I am sure you would like to join me in thanking them for their hard work for the Scheme.

Report and Accounts For the year ended 5 April 2014

Introduction This Report reviews the operations of the Scheme for the year ended 5 April 2014. The Scheme is a defined benefits arrangement which provides pension and life assurance benefits for employees of AgustaWestland companies in the United Kingdom. The accounts have been prepared and audited in accordance with regulations made under section 41(1) and (6) of the Pensions Act 1995. Governance The Rules which govern the Scheme provide for there to be up to nine trustees or a sole corporate trustee. The Scheme has one corporate trustee, called AgustaWestland UK Pension Scheme (Trustee) Limited. The directors of the trustee company are referred to throughout this report as Trustee Directors and the Trustee Board. The Trustee Board is made up of nine Trustee Directors consisting of five Trustee Directors nominated by the Principal Employer (one of which is the Chairman of the Trustee Board) and four nominated by the membership. For valid decisions to be taken a minimum of two employer nominees and two member nominees must be present at Trustee meetings. Decisions require the support of a majority of the Trustee Directors present with the Chairman having a casting vote. During the year, the Trustee Board and its committees met a total of 13 times. Of these meetings, 4 were as a full body and, in addition, the investment committee met 4 times, the administration committee met 4 times, and the newly established joint defined contribution investment committee met once. Attendance averaged 92% at these meetings, with three Trustee Directors achieving 100% attendance. The committees are responsible for matters delegated by the Trustee for detailed work or implementation and drawing up of recommendations. The current members of the Investment Committee are Martin Flavell (chair), Colin Grindle, Steve Pym and Richard Smith (with one vacancy). The current members of the Administration Committee are Martin Flavell (chair), Caroline Beaumont, Malcolm Gillam and Steve Jenkins (with one vacancy). All Trustee Directors are able to attend these committees even if they are not a member. The attendance measure above excludes meetings that a Trustee Director is not expected to attend under this governance practice. The newly formed Joint DC Investment Committee is a joint committee for the AgustaWestland UK Pension Scheme, Finmeccanica FuturePlanner and the Selex Pension Scheme. The purpose of the DC Committee is to review the AVC investment strategy of the AgustaWestland UK Pension Scheme (together with the investment strategy of Finmeccanica FuturePlanner and the defined contribution elements of the Selex Pension Scheme. The committee consists of five trustees of Finmeccanica FuturePlanner, two Trustee Directors of the AgustaWestland UK Pension Scheme and two Trustee Directors of the Selex Pension Scheme. The scheme representatives on this committee are Martin Flavell (chair) and Steve Jenkins. The Trustee produces a business plan for each calendar year which sets out the objectives of the full Trustee and each of the committees. Achievement of the business plan is monitored by the Trustee and the plan for 2013 has been fully actioned. The Trustee has appointed auditors and other external advisers to give advice on legal, actuarial, and investment issues. A list of the advisers can be found on pages 2 and 3 of this Report. Knowledge and understanding The Pensions Act 2004 requires the Trustee Directors to be conversant with key documents and to have knowledge and understanding of areas of importance in pensions. This requirement is being fulfilled through the Trustee Training Policy which provides for induction and ongoing training. Training has been held within meetings and some trustee directors have attended various external courses. The average amount of training per trustee director during the Scheme Year was 20.8 hours. Trustee directors are encouraged to obtain external certification of their knowledge and understanding at a level that is equivalent or better than that implied by the Pensions Regulator’s Trustee Toolkit. All the Trustee Directors have achieved this certification.

Financial Development The fund at 5 April 2014 was valued at £922 million. This represents a decrease of £25.4 million over the value at the start of the year. Total contributions to the Scheme exceeded benefit payments and expenses by £6.3 million. The Employer paid deficit recovery contributions of £15 million and normal future service contributions of £7.3 million. The members paid ordinary contributions of £0.1 million and the Employer paid £9.6 million on behalf of the members through the salary sacrifice smart option. Members paid AVC contributions of £1 million during the year. Further details can be found on page 25. Benefits payable were marginally lower than last year. Due to a decrease in the number of people retiring, the lump sum retirement benefits were £7.0 million (compared to £8.5 million previously). The increase in pensioners over the year resulted in the pensioner payroll increasing to £19.1 million (previously £17.9 million). Other benefit payments amounted to £0.9 million. Total benefit payments were £27 million. The return on investments was negative £31.7 million (compared to a positive return the previous year of £143 million). Whilst the return seeking assets in the portfolio produced a 4.9% return, the liability matching portfolio reduced in value which resulted in this negative return. The liability matching portfolio moves broadly in line with Scheme liabilities and the funding ratio of the Scheme improved from 82% to an estimated 85%. More information is provided in the Investment Report on pages 10 to 14 . Actuarial valuation The latest formal actuarial valuation of the Scheme was completed as at 5 April 2011. This was the third valuation to be prepared under the Scheme Specific Funding requirements of the Pensions Act 2004. The Trustee has prepared a Statement of Funding Principles that sets out their policy to reach the Scheme’s funding objective. Copies of the Statement are available to members from the Secretary to the Trustee and a copy of the Actuary’s certificate that the Statement conforms to the requirements of the Pensions Act 2004 can be found on pages 37 to 39. The Trustee chose long-term assumptions, based on the advice of the Actuary, which were agreed with the Principal Employer. There were a number of reasons why the valuation was carried out one year early including:   

a desire to bring the valuation dates in line with statutory requirements on the Scheme; a desire to check that future service contribution rates set as part of the 2009 valuation remain appropriate in light of the new Career Salary benefit structure; and a view that bringing the valuation forward would help maintain the stability of the Scheme.

The Actuary finalised his valuation as at 5 April 2011 in his report dated 12 June 2012. The final funding deficit was £117 million and the funding ratio was 85.1%. The cost of the future service after 1 January 2013 payable by the Employer is 6.2% of relevant salary. The Employer also pays, as agreed with the Trustee, contributions to make good the deficit as follows: January 2013 January 2014 January 2015 January 2016 January 2017 January 2018 January 2019 January 2020

£14.1M £15.0M £15.9M £16.8M £17.8M £10.4M £11.1M £11.8M

The Employer pays each calendar year’s future service contributions in advance with an adjustment at the end of the period for any under or over payment based on the actual membership. From 1 January 2013, the Employer will also pay £1.5 million each year for expenses.

Report and Accounts For the year ended 5 April 2014

The agreement between the Principal Employer and the Trustee is recorded in a Schedule of Contributions. There is also an agreed Recovery Plan for the deficit dated 12 June 2012 which, on the assumptions made, forecasts that the deficit will be recovered in January 2020, which is eight years after the beginning of the Recovery Plan. A copy of the Actuary’s certification of the Schedule can be found on page 39. The Recovery Plan has been submitted to the Pensions Regulator and all payments due under the Recovery Plan to date have been received. Funding update The Trustee conducted its latest interim review of the valuation position as at 5 April 2013 which showed the deficit was £207.6 million and the funding ratio was 82%. The next formal actuarial valuation of the Scheme is required as at 5 April 2014. This valuation should be completed by 5 July 2015. Employer's covenant In considering the valuation position and investment strategy, the Trustee takes into account the financial strength of the Employer and its ability to meet the contribution rates required. Factors reviewed include the cash resources, profitability and current and anticipated future orders and contracts of the Principal Employer and the commitment to the UK business of the ultimate parent company. The Trustee works with Ernst & Young to provide them with independent advice and assistance in assessing the covenant. The Trustee regularly monitors the covenant to ensure the appropriate support is available for the Scheme. The participating employers of the Scheme are now AgustaWestland Limited (Principal Employer), AgustaWestland Holdings Limited and Aviation Training International Limited. Scheme changes A deed of amendment was entered into on 25 June 2013 which made changes to ensure the Scheme was a Qualifying Scheme for Auto Enrolment purposes. A deed of amendment was entered into on 31 July 2013 which made changes to the Scheme to allow members to pay Additional Voluntary Contributions through the “smart” arrangements. A deed of amendment was entered into on 1 April 2014 which made changes to:   

ensure that the Scheme is compliant with the new Same Sex Marriage legislation i.e. provides the same benefits as are provided to civil partnerships; clarify how benefits are calculated in relation to the death of pensioners who die within 30 months of retirement on an ill health pension; and provide that death benefits of part-time members are calculated based on part-time salary (rather than the full time equivalent)

A new payroll provider was put in place by AgustaWestland Limited with effect from 1 January 2014.

INVESTMENT REPORT Background At the Scheme year end, 5 April 2014, the net investments of the Scheme were valued at £922 million, compared to £947.4 million at the start of the Scheme year. The Scheme’s return seeking assets continue to be invested in the Total Investment Governance Solution (TIGS) which is managed by P-Solve Investments Limited. The Trustee also has a liability hedging portfolio through which the impact of movements in long-term interest rate and inflation expectations are managed. This report gives information about the assets as at 5 April 2014. Investment Principles The Trustee has produced a Statement of Investment Principles showing how it invests the assets of the Scheme. The Statement of Investment Principles is reviewed regularly by the Trustee and was last updated in August 2014. The primary objective of the Scheme is to provide, on a defined benefit basis, pension and lump sum benefits for members on their retirement and/or benefits on death, before or after retirement, for their dependants. The Trustee aims to fund the Scheme in such a manner that there are always sufficient assets of the Scheme (at their realisable value) to meet the benefit payments promised as they fall due. The Trustee has translated its objectives into a benchmark for the Scheme. The benchmark is consistent with the Trustee’s views on the appropriate balance between maximising the long-term return on investments and minimising short-term volatility and risk measured relative to liabilities. The Trustee sets general investment policy but all day-to-day investment duties have been delegated to PSolve. Copies of the Statement of Investment Principles are available to members from the Secretary to the Trustee. Investment Advisers The Trustee has delegated responsibility for the day-to-day management of the assets to the Scheme’s investment manager, P-Solve Investments Limited (“P-Solve”). An Investment Management Agreement between the Trustee and P-Solve Investments Limited governs this relationship. The Investment Manager has been appointed in two capacities:  

To implement the liability hedging strategy; and To actively manage assets through its Total Investment Governance Solution (TIGS) investment product that covers a wide range of asset classes and investment managers.

Report and Accounts For the year ended 5 April 2014

INVESTMENT REPORT Asset Allocation The Trustee reviews the strategic asset allocation of the Scheme on a regular basis. However, investment decisions within this framework are delegated to P-Solve. The Trustee had allocated 65% of assets to return seeking assets and 35% of assets for liability hedging. In August 2014 the Trustee revised this allocation to 70% of assets in return seeking assets and 30% of assets in the collateral fund. The Trustee continues to monitor the strategy through regular reviews. In addition, the Trustee will review on an on-going basis the extent to which risk and volatility can be reduced further as the deficit for the Scheme is recovered over time. Liability Risk The Trustee has put a liability hedging strategy in place to reduce some of the unrewarded risks that the Scheme faces in relation to the value of the liabilities. P-Solve manage the liability hedge through trading derivative instruments with a number of counterparty banks. The Trustee has decided to hedge 75% of the interest rate risk and 90% of the inflation risk of the liabilities. The Trustee will continue to consider further opportunities to reduce unrewarded risks where this can be done cost effectively. There are appropriate arrangements in place to provide collateral for the liability hedging strategy. Investment Expenses Investment management expenses amounted to £1.7 million during the period (previously £1.2 million). It should be noted that, in addition to these direct expenses, the majority of underlying managers’ fees are reflected in unit prices and these are not separately disclosed. Discounts on investment management fees are negotiated where possible. Market Commentary Continued loose monetary policy in developed markets was supportive of many equity markets despite the beginning of the US Federal Reserve tapering their Quantitative Easing program. Over the 12 month period interest rate expectations rose materially leading to many bond instruments posting negative returns, in particular UK gilts, however the rises in interest rate expectations would have also reduced pension scheme liabilities. In sterling terms, global equities produced returns of 6.8%, with Europe and the US being strong performers. Emerging markets continued to significantly lag developed markets, producing returns of -10.9%. Within credit markets, high yield bonds returned -0.8%, however this negative performance was primarily due to sterling strengthening against the dollar by nearly 9% over the 12 months. Therefore in local terms this asset class returned nearer 8.9%. UK corporate bonds returned 1.1%, however emerging market debt returned 9.9% in sterling terms as emerging markets continued to struggle and sterling strengthened materially against the majority of emerging market currencies. Both fixed interest and index-linked gilts produced negative returns of between -2% to -4% as interest rate expectations rose and inflation fell slightly.

INVESTMENT REPORT Total investments The overall return on the Scheme’s investments for the year ended 5 April 2014 was -3.6%. Liability Matching Portfolio The liability hedge is designed to protect the Scheme from adverse movements in bond markets (linked to changes in long-term interest rates and inflation) which directly impact the value of the liabilities. The value of the gilts that are part of the liability hedge portfolio tend to move in line with the Scheme’s liabilities when the price of these bonds changes on the back of changes to long-term interest rates and inflation. Similarly, the swaps in the liability hedge portfolio are such that, if interest rates fall significantly (and so the liabilities rise in value through an increase in bond prices) the swap counterparty pays the Scheme to cover the rise in the value of the liabilities. Conversely, if the value of the liabilities falls due to interest rate and inflation changes (leading to falls in bond prices), the Scheme pays the counterparty under the swap contracts an amount that is in line with this fall in the liabilities. The liability matching portfolio, which consists of interest rate and inflation swaps, gilts and total return swaps, has been managed by P-Solve since 18 May 2012. As at 5 April 2014, the valuation of the swap contracts resulted in an unrealised gain as follows: Interest rate swaps Inflation swaps Gilts total return swaps Total

£000 45,826 (6,083) (4,678) 35,065

At the year end the liability hedge was hedging 74% of the interest rate risk and 92% of the inflation risk as a proportion of liabilities. Return Seeking Portfolio From May 2012, the return seeking assets are held under an investment service called TIGS. TIGS is a fully delegated service designed to deliver performance in excess of a client specific target through exposure to diversified investment arrangements. P-Solve invest and manage the Scheme’s assets on behalf of the Trustee. The service reduces the risks and costs of decision delay and provides access to a broad range of asset classes and increased investment specialisation. As well as the delegated responsibility for dynamic asset allocation, P-Solve are also responsible for selecting, combining and replacing fund managers. The core strength of the TIGS proposition lies in the delegation to the manager of the flexibility to dynamically allocate across all asset classes in accordance with medium to long-term views on global markets, and to ‘defend’ by increasing the allocation to cash and/or bonds when the risk/return attributes of other asset classes seem poor. The return on the return seeking portfolio for the year ended 5 April 2014 was 4.9%.

INVESTMENT REPORT Social responsibility The Trustee is seeking to maximise overall investment returns subject to an acceptable level of risk. The Trustee recognises that social, environmental and ethical considerations are among the factors which investment managers could take into account, where relevant, when selecting investments for purchase, retention or sale. Where appropriate, the managers have produced, or will be requested to produce, statements setting out their policy in this regard. Corporate Governance The majority of the Scheme’s investments are made via pooled investment funds, in which the Scheme’s investments are pooled with those of other investors. As such, direct control of the process of engaging with the companies that issue these securities, whether for corporate governance purposes or social, ethical or environmental factors, is delegated to the manager of the pooled investment fund. The extent to which these factors are taken into account in the selection, retention and realisation of investments are considered by the investment manager as part of the process of selecting organisations with which to invest.

STATEMENT OF TRUSTEE'S RESPONSIBILITIES IN RESPECT OF THE ACCOUNTS The Scheme’s Trustee is responsible for obtaining audited financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice) and for making available certain other information about the Scheme in the form of an Annual Report. The audited accounts are the responsibility of the Trustee. Pension Scheme regulations require the Trustee to make available to Scheme members, beneficiaries and certain other parties, audited accounts for each Scheme year which: -

show a true and fair view of the financial transactions of the Scheme during the Scheme year and of the amount and disposition at the end of the Scheme year of the assets and liabilities, other than liabilities to pay pensions and benefits after the end of the Scheme year, in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice), and

-

contain the information specified in the Schedule to the Occupational Pension Schemes (Requirement to obtain Audited Accounts and a Statement from the Auditor) Regulations 1996, including a statement whether the accounts have been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice, "Financial Reports of Pension Schemes" (Revised May 2007).

The Trustee has supervised the preparation of the financial statements and has agreed suitable accounting policies, to be applied consistently, making any estimates and judgements on a prudent and reasonable basis. The Trustee is responsible under pensions legislation for ensuring that there is prepared, maintained and from time to time revised a schedule of contributions showing the rates of contributions payable to the Scheme by or on behalf of the employer and the active members of the Scheme and the dates on or before which such contributions are to be paid. The Trustee is also responsible for keeping records in respect of contributions received in respect of any active member of the Scheme and for monitoring whether contributions are made to the Scheme by the employer in accordance with the schedule of contributions. Where breaches of the schedule occur, the Trustee is required by the Pensions Act 1995 and 2004 to consider making reports to the Pensions Regulator and the Members. The Trustee also has a general responsibility for ensuring that adequate accounting records are kept and for taking such steps as are reasonably open to them to safeguard the assets of the Scheme and to prevent and detect fraud and other irregularities, including the maintenance of an appropriate system of internal control.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEE OF AGUSTAWESTLAND UK PENSION SCHEME We have audited the accounts of the AgustaWestland UK Pension Scheme for the year ended 5 April 2014 which comprise the fund account, the net assets statement and the related notes 1 to 16. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice). This report is made solely to the Trustee, as a body, in accordance with regulation 3 (c) of the Occupational Pension Schemes (Requirement to obtain Audited Accounts and a Statement from the Auditor) Regulations 1996, made under the Pensions Act 1995. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the Trustee those matters we are required to state to them in an auditor’s report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the Trustee as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or the opinions we have formed. Respective responsibilities of Trustee and Auditor As explained more fully in the Statement of Trustee’s Responsibilities set out on page 15, the Scheme’s Trustee is responsible for the preparation of accounts which show a true and fair view. Our responsibility is to audit and express an opinion on the accounts in accordance with applicable law and International Standards on Auditing (UK and Ireland). Those standards require us to comply with the Auditing Practices Board’s Ethical Standards for Auditors. Scope of the audit of the accounts An audit involves obtaining evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements sufficient to give reasonable assurance that the financial statements are free from material misstatement, whether caused by fraud or error. This includes an assessment of: whether the accounting policies are appropriate to the scheme’s circumstances and have been consistently applied and adequately disclosed; the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by the trustees; and the overall presentation of the financial statements. In addition, we read all the financial and non- financial information in the annual report to identify material inconsistencies with the audited financial statements and to identify any information that is apparently materially incorrect based on, or materially inconsistent with, the knowledge acquired by us in the course of performing the audit. If we become aware of any apparent material misstatements or inconsistencies we consider the implications for our report. Opinion on the accounts In our opinion the accounts: •

show a true and fair view of the financial transactions of the Scheme during the year ended 5 April 2014, and of the amount and disposition at that date of its assets and liabilities, other than the liabilities to pay pensions and benefits after the end of the year;



have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and,



contain the information specified in Regulation 3 of, and the Schedule to, the Occupational Pension Schemes (Requirement to obtain Audited Accounts and a Statement from the Auditor) Regulations 1996, made under the Pensions Act 1995.

The accounts summarise the transactions of the Scheme and deal with the net assets at the disposal of the Trustee. They do not take account of obligations to pay pensions and benefits which fall due after the end of the Scheme year. The actuarial position of the Scheme, which does take account of such obligations, is dealt with in the actuarial statement included in the annual report and these accounts should be read in conjunction with it.

1.

BASIS OF PREPARATION The accounts have been prepared in accordance with the Occupational Pension Schemes (Requirement to obtain Audited Accounts and a Statement from the Auditor) Regulations 1996, and with the guidelines set out in the Statement of Recommended Practice, "Financial Reports of Pension Schemes" (SORP) (revised May 2007). The accounts summarise the transactions of the Scheme and deal with the net assets at the disposal of the Trustee. They do not take account of obligations to pay pensions and benefits which fall due after the end of the Scheme year.

2.

ACCOUNTING POLICIES The following principal accounting policies have been adopted in the preparation of the accounts. 2.1 Accruals concept The accounts have been prepared on an accruals basis. 2.2 Contributions and benefits Employers' contributions, members' contributions, including those paid under the smart option, and employer deficit funding are accounted for on an accruals basis in accordance with the schedule of contributions. Age related National Insurance rebates and additional voluntary contributions are accounted for on an accruals basis. Augmentation contributions are accounted for in accordance with the agreement under which they are payable, or, in the absence of an agreement, on a receipt basis. AVCs are accounted for on an accruals basis, and the resulting investments are included within the net assets statement on the basis of values provided by the AVC investment managers. Benefits are accounted for in the period in which the member notifies the Trustee of his decision on the type or amount of benefit to be taken or, if there is no member choice, on the date of retirement or leaving. Pensions are accounted for in the period to which they relate. For members with whom contact has been lost, benefits are accounted for on the later of the date that contact is re-established and the date that the relevant benefit payable has been identified. Individual transfers in and out are accounted for when the transfer has been agreed by both parties and the receiving scheme has accepted liability for the transfer. 2.3

Administration expenses and investment management expenses Administration and investment management expenses are accounted for on an accruals basis.

NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS 2.

ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) 2.4 Investment income i) Income from cash and short term deposits is dealt with in these accounts on an accruals basis. ii) Dividends and interest on securities are accounted for to the extent that they are declared and payable. iii) Income arising from the underlying investments of the pooled investment vehicles, that is reinvested within the pooled investment vehicles, is reflected in the unit price. Such income is reported within the change in market value. iv) Income earned on a distributing unit trust is accounted for in the period in which it falls due. v) Income from derivative contracts is dealt with in these accounts on an accruals basis. vi) Income arising from annuity policies held by the Trustees and received by the Scheme is included within investment income. vii) Income from foreign currency holdings is translated into sterling at the rate applicable on the date of the transaction. viii) Return of capital on private equity holdings are reflected as sales and are reflected in the change in market value in the year they are paid. Distributions in the prior year were included in investment income.

NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS 2.

ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) 2.5 Valuation of investments Investment assets and liabilities are included at market value at the end of the Scheme Year as follows: (i) Investments in pooled investment vehicles (unit trusts/managed funds) are valued at the bid price ruling at the year end. Where no bid price is available they are valued using the available single price. Certain funds for which a year end price is not available have been valued using the latest available price. (ii) Assets and liabilities in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rates of exchange ruling at the year end. (iii) Additional voluntary contribution investments are taken as the surrender values of the accounts and policies of assurance at the year end, as advised by the AVC providers. (iv) Quoted securities are valued at closing prices on the recognised stock exchange as at the year end, which are either the last quoted trade price or bid price depending on the market on which they are quoted. (v) Fixed interest securities and index linked securities are valued on a clean basis which excludes the value of the interest accruing from the previous interest payment date and the valuation date. Index linked securities are valued inclusive of indexation. (vi) Private equity holdings are valued at the latest available price as provided by the managers. (vi) Derivatives Derivatives are investment assets and investment liabilities that derive their value from the price or rate of some underlying item. They are included in the net assets statement at the appropriate fair value. Investment assets are valued at bid prices, whilst investment liabilities are valued at offer prices. Derivatives with a purchase price are reported as purchases. Those that do not have an initial purchase price but required a deposit, such as an initial margin to be placed with the broker, are recorded at nil cost. The deposit is recorded as a balance due from the broker, and as such is reported within cash balances. Amounts payable or receivable from brokers and counterparties, such as margins and interest on margins, are included within cash deposits within investment assets and investment liabilities. Forward Foreign Exchange Contracts Forward foreign exchange contracts outstanding at the year end are stated at fair value, which is determined as the gain or loss that would arise if the outstanding contract was matched at the year end with an equal and opposite contract at that date. Changes in the fair value of the forward contract are reported within change in market value. Options Traded options are valued at the fair value as determined by the exchange price for closing out the option as at the year end. Options which are over the counter contracts are valued at fair value using a pricing model such as Black-Scholes, where inputs are based on market data at the year end date. Changes in the value of the option are reported within change in market value.

NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS 2.

ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Swaps Interest rate and inflation swaps are over the counter derivative contracts whereby two parties (in this case the Trustee of the AgustaWestland UK Pension Scheme and a bank with whom the Trustee has ISDA documentation in place) agree to exchange future cashflow(s). The cashflows exchanged are either fixed or floating in nature. A floating cashflow changes in line with some pre-agreed index. For sterling interest rate swaps the swap floating leg payments are calculated with reference to the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) with rolling 3 month and 6 month maturities respectively. For inflation swaps the swap floating leg payments are calculated with reference to changes in the UK Retail Price Index. Swaps are valued on a market consistent basis that allows for the time value of money by calculating the current value of the future expected net cash flows arising from each swap contract. Aggregating the value of all of the swap positions provides the overall marked-to-market position of the Scheme's swap contracts. The cashflow amounts payable under a swap contract are calculated with reference to an underlying notional amount. For accounting purposes, net receipts or payments on swap contracts are reported within change in market value. Realised gains and losses on closed contracts and unrealised gains and losses on open contracts are included within change in market value. Fair value for swaps is calculated by discounting the expected cash flows using year end market data from recognised sources. Foreign currencies Amounts denominated in foreign currencies at the year end are translated at rates ruling at the year end. Investment income denominated in foreign currencies is recorded at the rate of exchange on the date of receipt. 2.6

Annuities Annuities purchased by the Trustee, which fully provide the benefits for certain members, are held with four providers; Canada Life, Equitable Life, Scottish Widows and Prudential. These policies remain assets of the Trustee, but as is permitted under current regulations and accounting practice, the Trustee has decided that these policies need not be valued in the net assets statement and they are therefore included at nil cost. The cost of purchasing immediate annuities in respect of pensioners is reported within the Fund Account under ’Benefits payable’.

The change in market value of investments during the year comprises all increases and decreases in the market value of investments held at any time during the year, including profits and losses realised on sales of investments during the year. Transaction costs are included in the cost of purchases and sale proceeds. Transaction costs include costs charged directly to the scheme such as fees, commissions, stamp duty and other fees. Transaction costs are considered by the Trustee, however, given the complexity of the investment strategy, it is not practical to provide an estimate of the total transaction costs incurred. In addition to the transaction costs, indirect costs are incurred through bid-offer spread on investments within pooled investment vehicles. The amount of indirect costs is not separately provided to the scheme. Whilst some of the investments are long term in nature (eg private equity), there are no significant restrictions affecting the ability of the Scheme to realise investments at the accounting date, at the value at which they are included in the financial statements.
