The Group has trading losses of approximately £3.1 million (2016: £2 million) and capital losses of £8.5 million (2016:
£8.5 million). These are available to set against future taxable profits, taxation liabilities and capital gains
respectively. The trading losses are available to be used against future profits arising from the same trade within the
Group. These amounts are subject to agreement with Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs. Deferred tax assets have not been
recognised in the Group accounts. As the timing and extent of taxable profits are uncertain, a deferred tax asset of
£528,000 (2016: £436,000) arising on the trading losses has not been recognised in the financial statements.

Capital management
The Group manages its capital to ensure that entities in the Group will be able to continue as going concerns while
maximising the return to stakeholders through the optimisation of the debt and equity balance. The Group's overall strategy
remains unchanged from 2016.
The capital structure of the Group consists of cash and bank balances and equity of the Group, comprising called up share
capital, deferred shares, share premium account, other reserves and retained earnings.
The Group is not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements.
15. NON-CONTROLLING INTERESTS
Movement in non-controlling interests during the period are disclosed in the statement of changes in equity.
At the period-end, the Group held 99.7% of Akoris Trading Limited's Ordinary Share capital.
16. RETIREMENT BENEFIT SCHEMES
The Group operated a defined benefit pension scheme, holding the assets in a separate trustee administered fund ("the ABE
Pension Fund"). The required contributions were assessed with the advice of an independent qualified actuary using the
projected unit credit method. The Group also operates a designated defined benefit Group personal pension plan which meets
stakeholder requirements.
The scheme exposes the Group to actuarial risks such as:
Salary risk:
The present value of the pension scheme liability is calculated by reference to the future salaries of participating
members. Any increase in members' salaries will increase the scheme's liability but is now limited to RPI.
Interest rate risk:
Any decrease in bond rates will increase the scheme's liability.
Investment risk:
If the return on scheme assets is below the discount rate used to calculate the present value of the scheme liability it
may lead to a scheme deficit.
Longevity risk:
Any increase in life expectancy of the scheme's members will increase the scheme's liability as the present value of the
scheme's liability is calculated by reference to the best estimate of the mortality rate of the scheme's members.

16. RETIREMENT BENEFIT SCHEMES (continued)
The scheme consists of 2 active members, 26 deferred members and 57 pensioner members. The contribution to the scheme for
the forthcoming year is expected to be £140,000 including the contribution to the deficit.
The value placed on the benefit obligation is particularly sensitive to changes in some of the key assumptions. Two of the
most critical are:
· The real (i.e. net of inflation) and nominal rates of interest used; and
· Changes in future mortality rates

0.25% p.a. reduction in discount rate +3.90 54
0.25% increase in inflation +1.50 21
Members assumed to live one year longer +4.10 57
In the year ended 31 March 2009, the Company came to an agreement with the Trustees of the scheme and a resolution was
approved whereby the Group is no longer liable for its previously recognised retirement obligations for the ABE section of
the fund. The elimination of the ABE section resulted in an elimination of £3,047,000 of the opening obligation which was
reflected through the Statement of Comprehensive Income. The remaining obligation relates to the BPE section of the scheme
and is summarised on the following page.
Contributions by employer in respect of future accrual of benefits, death in service benefits and expenses:
27.5% (2016: 28.6%) of pensionable salaries less member contributions, payable monthly by the 19th of the calendar month
after that to which they relate. In addition, the employer will pay amounts into the scheme equal to the levy payments made
by the scheme to the Pension Protection Fund. Such amounts will be paid by the employer within a year of them being paid by
the scheme. Insurance premiums for death in service benefits, management and administration expenses are payable in
addition as and when they are due.
Contributions by employer in respect of the shortfall in funding following the triennial review:
With reference to the recovery plan agreed with the Trustees in conjunction with the valuation as at 1 April 2014, the
employer will make the following contributions over the period from 1 April 2014 to 31 March 2030:
· From 1 April 2014 until 1 August 2014 contributions of £17,000 per month has been paid in accordance with the
previous recovery plan.
· From 1 August 2014, £10,000 per month are payable by the 19th of the calendar month after that to which they
relate.
· An additional lump sum relating to the profits of the employer in respect of all accounting periods as from 1 April
2014 is payable in the financial year following the generation of the profits calculated on the following basis:-
· a) for all trading profits (before interest and taxation, and excluding those generated from external investments)
in excess of £250k and below £1,050k an additional payment of 20% of such profits;
· b) for all trading profits (before interest and taxation, and excluding those generated from external investments)
in excess of £1,050k an additional payment of 10% of such profits;
· Profit-share contributions will only be payable if there is a gross pension deficit recorded in the Employer's
Annual Report and Accounts for the financial year in which the profits are generated;
· Funding shortfall contributions (including profit-share contributions) will cease in the event that a funding

RISKS
The main risks arising from the Group's financial instruments are market risk, liquidity risk and credit risk. Market risk
includes price commodity risk, foreign exchange risk and interest rate risk. The Group has limited exposure to foreign
exchange risk and also has no loans, therefore limited exposure to interest rate risk.
Cash and cash equivalents held at floating rates expose the entity to cash flow risk. Interest rate risk is limited to the
cash and cash equivalents.
Based on the balance sheet value of cash and cash equivalents, a 1% change in interest base rates would lead to an increase
or decrease in income and equity of £5,000 (2016: £16,000).
The Board reviews and agrees policies for managing each of the above risks and they are summarised below and in the
accounting policies to the Group financial statements. These policies have been consistently applied throughout the
period.
COMMODITY PRICE RISK
The Group is dependent upon some of its suppliers to effectively operate a stock holding and call off management system,
which is utilised to mitigate holding costs. There is the potential to leave the Group exposed to 'stock out' or shortages
but the Group manages this closely and does not envisage this going forward.
When prices are advantageous a strategic decision may be taken to increase a stock levels in core parts which mitigates the
issue of price commodity risk. There are a number of suppliers used, each with various contractual terms, and therefore the
Board do not consider this a significant risk.
LIQUIDITY RISK
The Group's liquidity is dependent on the cash balances available and it is the Group's policy to place surplus
cash on deposit to ensure it has an appropriate rate of return. The Board reviews an annual 12 month financial
projection as well as information regarding cash balances. The maturity profile of the Group's finance lease liabilities is
set out in note 18.
ASSOCIATED BRITISH ENGINEERING PLC
NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS - GROUP (continued)
FOR THE PERIOD ENDED 3 APRIL 2017
18. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (continued)
CREDIT RISK
The Group's principal financial assets are cash deposits, available for sale financial assets and trade and other
receivables. The credit risk associated with the cash is limited as the counterparties have high credit ratings assigned
by international credit-rating agencies. The principal credit risk arises therefore from its trade and other receivables
and available for sale financial assets.
In order to manage credit risk the directors of the subsidiary company set limits for customers based on a combination of
payment history, third party credit references and knowledge of the customers. Credit limits are reviewed by the
subsidiary's directors on a regular basis in conjunction with debt ageing and experience. In 2017 and 2016 there were a
limited number of concentrations of credit risk. The Group's top five customers comprised less than 1% of the period end
trade receivables. The Board consider their strong customer relations to be a strength rather than a risk as they are the
preferred suppliers to these customers.
Where appropriate, the subsidiary company requests payment or part-payment in advance of shipment. In connection with the
trade receivables, there is a risk of warranty claims, which the subsidiary company tries to minimise. The carrying value
of the trade receivables represents the maximum credit risk exposure and therefore sensitivity analysis has not been
performed.
Collection procedures in relation to receivables are initiated once the credit terms are exceeded and trade receivables
both due and not yet due are reviewed on a line by line basis, with adequate provision being made against period end
balances where appropriate. During the period an additional provision of £104,000 (2016: £310,000) has been included in the
financial statements.
At the period end 10% (2016: 6%) of current financial assets are aged greater than 90 days. These amounted to £701,890 and
£472,330 have been provided for (2015: £52,000 and £21,000 respectively).
FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The following table provides an analysis of financial instruments that are measured subsequent to initial recognition at
fair value into Levels 1 to 3 based on the degree to which the fair value is observable:
· Level 1 fair value measurements are those derived from quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or
liabilities;
· Level 2 fair value measurements are those derived from inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that

19. DEFERRED TAXATION
The deferred taxation liability at 3 April 2017 was £Nil (2016: £Nil).
No provision has been made for the potential deferred tax assets on the trading losses carried forward as they are not
sufficiently certain to crystallise in the foreseeable future, with future pension obligations deemed to exceed the
potential future cash inflows. This assumption will be revisited on an annual basis or as and when circumstances change.
The amounts not recognised (all of which have been calculated at 17% (2016: 20%)) are set out below:
