operations has been satisfactory m the current economic climate It IS anticipated that the present level of activity will Improve over the next 12 months PRINCIPAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES It IS now Widely understood that the pnnc1pal challenges facmg UK busmesses relate to those generated by the global economic downturn The resultmg lack of hqmd1ty m the financial markets reduced the ab1hty of mdividuals and busmesses to borrow money and this ultimately led to a lack of demand m the global marketplace Although economic recovery appears to be m progress, the outlook remams uncertam Peel Ports Shareholder FmanceCo Limited and Its subs1d1anes operate as the Statutory Harbour Authonty for the Port of Liverpool, the Manchester Ship Canal, the River Medway, the Clydeport area, Ardrossan Harbour, Twelve Quays at B1rkenhead Docks and Heysham Port They also provide port facilities, freight forwardmg and cargo handling services m Glasgow, Greenock, Hunterston, Dublm and Belfast Sh1ppmg and transport services to the UK, the Republic of Ireland and Europe are provided by the sh1ppmg and freight forwardmg subs1dmnes Despite the contmumg uncertamty m the global economic environment, the results for the year have Improved, which IS largely attributed to the benefit of a strong and diverse portfolio of customers and service provision Although several European ports have been hit by the global decline m contamer volumes, Peel Ports Group IS not as reliant on contamer handling as many other port busmesses With Its strong and diverse service offenng, the Group contmues to show greater rest hence m the current environment Operatwnal nsks The regwnal ports with m the Group each form part of a wider transport mfrastructure The key operational nsk and uncertamty relates to the dependency upon the economic activity of the busmesses and consumers w1thm an economic geographic proxumty of the ports These consumers and busmesses generate the trade which flows through the ports and when they are subJect to economic cycles or, at the extreme, to failure there IS an unavOidable Impact on the port The mitigation ofth1s nsk comes from the wide and diverse nature of customers, markets and products served by the ports This has the effect of mimmismg the Impact of a particular cycle or busmess failure and mdeed one trade can hedge agamst another In additiOn, the nature of the ports mdustl)' IS such that the work undertaken reqmres employees and contractors to be totally aware of their workmg environment as there IS always the posSibility of accidents occurrmg Some of the cargoes which are handled are dangerous and need to be handled m accordance with specific procedures The Group has emergency plans m place which are reviewed and updated where necessary In additiOn, trammg and safety gmdance IS provided to all employees and contractors workmg m the ports Fmancw/ nsks The key financial nsk anses from the level of long term debt held by the Peel Ports Shareholder FmanceCo Limited Group ("Group") and the mterest ansmg !hereon The Group's long term debt, amountmg to 1,182,679,000, falls due for repayment between 31 December 2013 and 30 September 2046 In addition the cash flow nsk ar1smg m connectiOn with mterest charges IS mitigated through the use of mterest swaps Further details on this can be found m note I9 The directors consider that the combmatwn of the swap mstruments, stable tradmg of the ports bus mess, effective workmg capital management and the m vestment m the asset base assists m managmg the nsks ar1smg from the level of debt and vanab1 lity m mterest rates The Group's bank loans and swap mstruments are spread over a large number of banks and w1thm the current facility agreement there are undrawn funds available 4 PEEL PORTS SHAREHOLDER FINANCECO LIMITED DIRECTORS' REPORT (CONTINUED) The Group IS exposed to translatiOn and transactiOn foreign exchange nsk Transaction exposures, mcludmg those associated w1th forecast transactions, are hedged when known The Group manages Its foreign exchange exposure on a net bas1s, and, 1f requrred, uses forward foreign exchange contracts and financial mstruments to reduce the exposure If the hedgmg actiVIty does not mitigate the exposure, then the results and the financial condltlon of the Group may be adversely Impacted by foreign currency fluctuatiOns Whilst the a1m IS to achieve an economic hedge, the Group does not adopt an accounting pohcy of hedge accountmg for these fmanc1al statements The Group reviews Its exposure to translation nsk ansmg from Its overseas mvestlments on a contmual basis and wdl enter mto hedges 1f considered necessary The Group operates defined benefit pensiOn schemes and 1s party to a number of mdustry-w1de defined benefit schemes Modest changes to the assumptions used to value the schemes' assets and hab1hties can have a s1gmficant effect on the asset or hab1hty that the Group records The schemes and the assumptions used are more fully explamed m note 23 of the fmanc1al statements, together with an md1catwn of the sensitiVIty of amounts recorded to changes m assumptions The Group manages Its responsibihlles with regard to Its defined benefit scheme arrangements by agreemg contnbutwn rates w1th the trustees of those schemes to enable defiCits to be recovered over appropnate penods of time At 31 March 2011, the Group balance sheet recorded a pensiOn asset, net of deferred taxatiOn, of16,081,000 (2010 5,799,000) The year on year mcrease IS pnmanly as a result ofh1gher asset values As permitted by FRS!? 'Retrrement benefits', the Pilots NatiOnal PensiOn Fund ("PNPF"), an mdustry-w1de defined benefit scheme, IS accounted for as If the scheme was a defined contnbutwn scheme Whilst the directors consider 11 hkely that the Group will be requued to fund a share of the deficit of the PNPF, they are currently unable to determme the quantum of any deficit ar1smg or the share to be borne by the Group until such lime as legal proceedmgs bemg brought by third parties agamst the trustee of the PNPF are resolved, formal actuarial valuallons performed, agreement bemg reached on the basis on wh1ch any deficit will be shared between the partiCipatmg competent harbour authont1es and a recovery plan IS agreed Furthermore, the trustee has md1cated 11 will not engage with the participatmg competent harbour authonlles m relation to determmmg the quantum of any deficit and the recovery thereof until the appeal process IS determmed A key Issue of the appeal process concerns the Judgment as to the respons1b1hty of competent harbour authonlles with self employed p1lots to contribute to the scheme deficit As explamed m note 23, m 2006 the partiCipatmg bodies for the PNPF agreed a voluntary arrangement to mcrease contributions m order to reduce the defiCit The directors agreed to make voluntary contributiOns totalling 3,524,000 payable m mstalments over a 5 year penod In the year ended 31 March 2008, the pensiOn fund trustee mitiated legal proceedmgs agamst all participatmg competent harbour authonlles as a means to obtam further contributions to fund the deficit Although th1s voluntary payment plan has lapsed, the provision retamed by the Group as at 31 March 2011 amounted to 2,029,000 (20 I 0 2,029,000) Fmancial nsk also arises from credit extended to customers This nsk IS mitigated by usmg strict credit control procedures, the unposltlon of appropnate credit hm1ts and obtammg thud party credit references Gomg concern As referred to m note I to the financial statements, the duectors have a reasonable expectatiOn that the Company has adequate resources to contmue m operational existence for the foreseeable future and for this reason they contmue to adopt the gomg concern basis of accountmg m prepanng the annual financial statements DIRECTORS The directors who held office dunng the financial year and thereafter, except as noted, were as follows J
