Sir John Rose, Chief Executive, said:
"Rolls-Royce delivered a robust performance despite the continuing uncertainty in the global economy.
"We continue to make progress with our development programmes and new facilityconstruction; these investments are designed to underpin the growth embedded inour order book and achieve productivity improvements."We now expect underlying profit for the full-year to be modestly higher than2009, mainly due to good cost control and a strong trading performance from ourMarine business. We expect a modest cash inflow for the year and average netcash balances to remain at a similar level to the first-half. "We are increasing the first-half payment to shareholders by 6.7 per cent".
Group Overview
An increasingly resilient portfolio:
The Group made progress in the first-half of 2010 despite the economicuncertainty, the disruption caused by volcanic eruptions in Iceland and thecosts incurred as we invest for future growth. The order book at £58.4bn,underlying revenues of £5.3bn and underlying profit before tax of £465m allincreased. The Group maintained its strong financial position with average netcash balances improving by £155m to £915m compared to the first six months of2009.Flight test programmes in Civil and Defence aerospace including the Boeing 787,Airbus A400M and Gulfstream G650, all made good progress in the period. Theengine for the Airbus A350 XWB, which is due to enter service in 2013, ran forthe first time in June. Sea trials of the Astute class submarine and the Type 45 Destroyer, HMS Daring, continued and the Littoral Combat Ship entered active duty. In April, the Marine business completed the acquisition of ODIM ASA, acquiringthe remaining 67 per cent of shares for a cost of £147m, bringing the totalcash investment in ODIM ASA to £218m. ODIM ASA adds capability to our strongmarine systems portfolio in target markets such as seismic towing,oceanographic survey and subsea and deep-water installation systems. Rolls-Royce continues to benefit from its global reach and ability to accessthe world's faster growing markets. Our success in winning new customers andorders, the breadth and mix of our product and service portfolio, and thefinancial performance of the Group, demonstrate the resilience of our business.Our confidence in the long-term growth prospects of the Group is reflected inthe decision to increase the first-half payment to shareholders by 6.7 per centto 6.40 pence per share.
A consistent strategy for long-term growth:
The long-term and disciplined application of our power systems strategy acrossthe four segments has created a portfolio we believe can double revenues in thenext decade.Our success at winning business in the widebody aircraft market meansRolls-Royce expects to more than double the current number of Trent enginesbeing delivered by the middle of this decade. To enable this step change involume, investments in new facilities, tooling and capability have been made inthe first-half of 2010 and will continue as we increase operational capacityand improve productivity.Elsewhere in the business, the first-half saw the official opening of the newMechanical Test and Operations Centre at Dahlewitz in Germany, and a newfacility to support the Joint Strike Fighter LiftFan capability inIndianapolis, USA. Rolls-Royce also expanded the Civil aerospace repair andoverhaul facility in Singapore (SAESL) increasing capacity to 250 large enginesper year. Significant progress was made with the construction of newfacilities at the Seletar Aerospace Park in Singapore and at Crosspointe inVirginia, USA. We continue to develop our UK footprint with additional nuclearmanufacturing capacity being added at our facilities in Derby and a new discmanufacturing plant in Sunderland. In addition, we are giving significantsupport to the development of six advanced manufacturing research centres, fourof which will be based in the UK, to improve manufacturing performance acrossthe supply chain.Strong financial position:
The Group benefits from a robust financial position which has been furtherstrengthened in the first-half. Average net cash balances were £915m, animprovement of £155m over the same period in 2009, with period-end cashbalances improving £113m to almost £1.4bn. The Group's debt maturities arewell spread with the debt credit ratings assessed by all major rating agenciesremaining strong with a stable outlook.There were no major changes in the position of the Group's UK pension fundsover the first-half. Two smaller UK funds are currently undertaking triennialactuarial valuations, and whilst the results will not be available for severalmonths, the Group does not expect any material changes in funding requirementsas a result of these reviews.
Despite challenging financing markets, financial and contingent support to customers remains modest.
Trading Summary - 2010 first-half:
Whilst order activity in many markets remains subdued, we secured orders worth£5.9bn in the first-half of 2010, increasing the Group's total order book to arecord £58.4bn. Approximately £17.9bn of the order book relates to servicecontracts. A further £1.1bn of orders were announced at the FarnboroughAirshow.Revenues increased by five per cent to £5.4bn. Underlying revenues improved byseven per cent, with good growth in service revenues from all businesses and anespecially strong performance from original equipment sales in the Energybusiness.The Group maintained its foreign exchange hedging policy and increased thehedge book over the period to $20.8bn, with an average rate of $1.60. Betterrates locked into the hedge book provide visibility of improving rates over thenext few years. Underlying profits in the first-half benefited by £37m fromimproving exchange rates. This consisted of £28m from a seven cent improvementin the USD achieved rate, and a further £9m from translation benefits onoverseas businesses, mainly in the Marine segment. For the full-year, USD achieved rates are expected to improve by between six and nine centscontributing between £50m and £75m to underlying profit, compared to 2009.Investment in research and development was £436m (2009 first-half £440m), ofwhich the Group funded 55 per cent (£238m). The charge to the income statementreduced slightly, by £8m to £192m; primarily as a function of lower cash spend.For the full-year, the charge to the income statement is expected to increaseby between £40m and £50m as more engineering time focuses on early stageprogrammes, such as the Trent XWB, where research and development spending ischarged in the income statement as incurred.The Group has benefited from improved cost control and a strong tradingperformance in the Marine segment. This has helped mitigate the reduction inprofitability in the Civil business, resulting in a modest growth in underlyingGroup profits.Underlying profit before tax, which excludes the non-cash impact of the hedgebook and other financial instruments, increased by four per cent to £465m (2009 first-half £445m). This growth in profit reflected a six per cent increase in original equipment revenue, eight per cent growth in service revenue, reduced R&D charges, lower restructuring charges and improved foreign exchange rates.These more than offset headwinds due to weaker revenue mix and thenon-recurrence of one-off benefits in 2009.The Group's reported loss before tax of £(475)m, compared with a first-halfprofit of £2,515m in 2009, includes the effects of the "mark-to-market" of itsfinancial instruments, for which hedge accounting is not adopted. The impactof mark-to-market is included within net financing in the income statement (see note 3 on page 22).The underlying tax charge of £116m increased £31m from 2009 as the effectiverate rose to 25 per cent for the period, from 19 per cent in the first-half of2009. The 2009 effective rate benefited from a one-off £21m credit followingthe successful completion of overseas tax audits and changes in legislation. The full-year underlying tax rate is expected to remain at around 25 per cent.
Underlying earnings per share reduced by five per cent to 18.72p (2009 first-half 19.64p), primarily reflecting higher effective tax rate in the first-half of 2010. Basic earnings per share were a loss of 18.07p (2009 first-half - earnings of 100.87p), reflecting the mark-to-market adjustments described above.
The Group reported a good first-half cash performance. Net cash inflow was
£113m for the period reflecting an increase in underlying profitability, improved working capital performance, the receipts of inventory disposals under the Aviall distribution services agreement and after the acquisition of ODIM ASA.
Group prospects:
Our power systems strategy has broadened and provided a better balance to our portfolio and has also created a strong financial foundation from which to support long-term growth.
Group prospects are underpinned by access to growing markets, participation ina record number of major programmes and expanding aftermarket service activity.We expect these factors to support a doubling of revenues over the next tenyears. We continue to invest in technology, product development andoperational facilities to support this growth.In the short term, the Group expects the global economic environment to remainuncertain. The Group expects underlying revenues to grow by approaching ten per cent in 2010. This includes the benefit of ODIM ASA, which is expected to contribute approximately £200m to Group revenues in 2010.For the full-year, underlying profits are expected to be modestly higher than2009, benefitting from a strong trading performance in the Marine segment andimproving cost control.
Average cash balances are expected to remain at similar levels to those achieved in the first-half of the year and there will be a modest cash inflow in 2010.

The Civil portfolio benefits from having a large, broad-based and relativelyyoung fleet of engines, which helped to mitigate some of the consequences ofthe global downturn. The business continued to make progress in the first-halfof 2010 with a number of major development and commercial milestones achieved. However, trading conditions remained subdued. This, combined with changes inrevenue mix, held back the first-half trading result as expected. Major milestones achieved on flight test programmes included the Boeing 787,Gulfstream G650 and the Embraer Legacy 650. Development schedules remain ontarget for these programmes to enter service over the next two years, furtherexpanding the Group's portfolio and market share and underpinning long-termgrowth. Following the first running of the Trent XWB, development testing willnow progress to support its scheduled entry to service in 2013.Orders totalling £3.3bn were received during the first-half, including ordersfor 50 Trent and 190 V2500 engines, ensuring the order book remained resilientover the period. A further £1bn of orders were announced during the recentFarnborough Airshow.
The order book includes more than 5,100 engines. This is equivalent to more than 35 per cent of today's installed fleet which was delivered over more than 25 years.
The trading environment remained difficult throughout the first-half,reflecting the ongoing uncertainty in the global economy, specifically theairline industry. Overall deliveries of new engines remained broadly stable,but with a greater emphasis on engines for new aircraft types. The industrialand commercial costs associated with the early phases of these new programmes,combined with subdued aftermarket activity, were the main cause of weakermargins.A distribution services agreement with Aviall Services Inc. was completed inthe first-half. This covers logistics, marketing and customer management onthe RB211-524 engine powering the Boeing 747 and 767 aircraft. It will alsosupport spares sales on this programme in 2010 and beyond.While the airline industry showed some improvement, the impact on servicesrevenues remains modest. Continued capacity discipline by airlines, the impactof the volcanic ash disruption and subdued economic activity in Europe and theUSA constrained services revenues growth, which improved by seven per cent inthe first-half.Increased fee income from Risk and Revenue Sharing Partners (RRSPs) andfavourable foreign exchange effects were more than offset by weaker originalequipment mix in the period, and one-off benefits in 2009 which did not recur.This resulted in lower reported profits in the first-half.
Civil aerospace outlook
Air travel and air freight have shown signs of recovery but the extent of the improvement varies by region and future trends remain uncertain.
The second half of 2010 will see further mix changes in original equipmentrevenues resulting from deliveries for new programmes with associated pressureon margins. Services revenues are expected to increase by around ten to twelve per cent in the full-year 2010, benefiting from improved foreign exchangeachieved rates, an increasing installed fleet and the Aviall Services Inc.distribution agreement. R&D charges are expected to be £40m to £45m higherthan 2009 because of increased activity associated with early phase programmes,such as the Trent XWB. Improved GBP~USD achieved rates will help mitigate someof these effects.
As a result of these factors underlying profits are expected to be modestly lower in 2010 than in 2009.

The Defence aerospace portfolio is characterised by its large installed fleet of engines across a broad range of applications and geographies, supporting more than 160 customers in 103 countries.
A significant number of new Rolls-Royce powered helicopter, transport and combat aircraft programmes continue to make good progress. Development and certification testing in the first-half included the A400M and the F-35 Lightning II Joint Strike Fighter (JSF) LiftSystemâ„¢. Good technical progress is also being made with the F136 engine for the JSF.
The TP400 engine has achieved more than 1,500 engine flight test hours on thethree aircraft involved in the flight test programme. While there remainscontinuing uncertainty about the A400M programme, we believe that the futurecost of the remaining phases of this development programme have beenappropriately provided for.Total orders in the period reached £1.2bn, of which £0.8bn related to servicecontracts, including the contract for the UK's Royal Air Force's fleet of RB199 powered Tornado aircraft. This strong performance supported a resilient order book which ended the period at £6.6bn.
Engine deliveries for the transport sector including the C130-J and V-22 Osprey continue to grow, supporting a five per cent improvement in first-half revenues.
Lower restructuring spend, lower R&D charges, improving operational performanceand mix helped deliver particularly strong first-half margins and a 16 per centimprovement in underlying profits.
Defence aerospace outlook
The expansion of the portfolio, the strong positions in military transport andaccess to a global customer base leaves the defence portfolio well positionedto access growing markets. These factors provide resilience in an uncertainbudgetary environment.The business is well positioned to deliver another good performance in 2010. Revenues are expected to grow by mid single digits and, although second halfprofits will be weaker than the first due to the phasing of costs, we expectstrong full-year profit growth.Marine (First-half) 2010 2009Order book (£bn) 3.2 3.5Underlying revenues (£m) 1,357 1,227Underlying OE revenues (£m) 928 851

The Marine business provides complex integrated power systems for a range ofapplications in the offshore oil and gas, specialist vessel and naval markets.It has more than 2,000 customers with equipment installed on more than thirty thousand vessels worldwide.The Marine business performed particularly strongly in the first-half of 2010delivering double-digit revenue growth and a 55 per cent improvement in profitsdespite a challenging trading environment. Cancellations of existing ordershave slowed and there are early signs of a recovery in demand. While £1bn ofnew orders were booked in the period, these did not make up for the completionof existing orders and as a result the order book weakened to £3.2bn at the endof the first-half.The market for specialist vessels continues to offer good opportunities, anddemand from the offshore oil and gas sector remains encouraging, with continueddeepwater developments in a number of major offshore locations includingBrazil, West Africa and Russia. The completion of the ODIM ASA acquisition inApril adds significantly to our capability. We acquired the remaining 67 per cent of the business in April, an investment of £147m in cash (£218m including the 2009 investment), bringing significant seismic, oceanographic and offshore deck handling capabilities. New programmes achieved a number of important milestones. These included theLittoral Combat Ship (LCS) entering active duty. We now expect the selectionbetween the competing LCS designs, which will move forward to production, to beannounced by the end of 2010. Sea trials for the nuclear powered Astute classsubmarine and the Type 45 Destroyer, HMS Daring, are progressing well.New service facilities around the world supported good aftermarket growth of 14 per cent in the period, a trend expected to continue through the remainder ofthe year.
The combination of improving revenue mix, strong operational performance, more favourable contract pricing and the non-recurrence of a number of one-off charges in 2009 contributed to strong improvement in margins and profitability.
Marine outlook
Whilst there are some improving signs for future orders, the environmentremains uncertain. However, visibility of the trading profile over the second half remains good. Overall, revenue for the full-year is expected to bemodestly below 2009 reflecting weaker original equipment revenues, partlyoffset by the contribution from ODIM ASA. Full-year profits are expected to bewell ahead of 2009 with second half profits slightly lower than those achievedin the first-half of 2010.Energy (First-half) 2010 2009Order book (£bn) 1.3 1.3Engine deliveries 28 27Underlying revenues (£m) 590 447Underlying OE revenues (£m) 348 236Underlying services revenues (£m) 242 211

The Energy business is a world-leading provider of power systems for onshoreand offshore oil and gas applications with a growing presence in the electricpower generation sector. It supplies customers in more than 120 countries. Weare building a portfolio of power systems including large gas turbines, dieseland gas reciprocating engines, renewables and civil nuclear power capability.Energy made solid progress in the period with strong revenue growth andimproved operational performance. Against this, a £26m one-off charge relatingto retrofit costs across the industrial Trent fleet of Dry Low Emissions (DLE)engines caused a loss for the period of £19m.
Order intake of £0.4bn kept the order book stable at £1.3bn with orders for eight industrial Trent units received in the period.
The oil and gas sector continued to move ahead with substantial investmentplans, especially in Brazil, West Africa and Asia. It is too early to judgewhether the Macondo well leak in the Gulf of Mexico will have implications forour business, but we have seen no significant changes in customer behaviour todate.
We reported exceptional growth of 47 per cent in original equipment revenues and double-digit service revenue growth in the period.
The Group continues to focus on improving operating performance. Investments in new assembly facilities and testbeds have helped support both improved execution and load growth.
In low carbon technology programmes, the tidal power demonstrator project inthe Pentland Firth, Scotland, is expected to commence trials within the nextfew months. Ongoing development of the fuel cell technology programmecontinued with investment at a lower level than in prior years. The Group made good progress in the civil nuclear area with the announcement ofa memorandum of understanding with Larsen & Toubro in India focusing on lightwater reactors in India, and internationally.
Energy outlook
Further revenue growth in the second half of 2010, improving operational performance and reduced investment in new programmes will more than offset the £26m one-off charge, and we expect profits to grow strongly in 2010.
Financial Review - 2010 First-half performance
Foreign exchange:
The pace and extent of currency movements had a material effect on the Group'sreported financial performance in 2010, with the GBP exchange rates against theUSD, EUR and the NOK having the largest effect. These movements haveinfluenced the reported income statement, the cash flow and the closing netcash position (as set out in the cash flow statement) in the following ways: 1. Income statement - the most significant impact was the period-end mark-to-market of outstanding financial instruments (foreign exchange contracts, interest rate, commodity and jet fuel swaps). The principal adjustments related to the GBP~USD hedge book. The principal spot rate movements in the period were as follows: Dec 31 2009 June 30 2010 GBP ~ USD £1~$1.62 £1~$1.50 GBP ~ Euro £1~€1.13 £1~€1.22 GBP ~ NOK £1~NOK9.33 £1~NOK9.73 The average rates throughout the first-half-year were: H1 2009 H1 2010 GBP ~ USD £1~$1.49 £1~$1.52 GBP ~ Euro £1~€1.12 £1~€1.15 GBP ~ NOK £1~NOK9.96 £1~NOK9.21
The impact of the period-end mark-to-market on all of the outstanding financial
instruments is the principal element included within net financing costs in the
income statement of £1,069m (2009 £1,922m net financing income), contributing
to a published loss before tax of £475m (compared to a profit before tax of
£2,515m in the first-half of 2009). These adjustments are non-cash accounting
adjustments required under IAS 39 and do not, therefore, reflect the underlying
trading performance of the Group for the period.
Underlying profit before tax of £465m benefited from £37m of foreign exchange
benefits compared to 2009. The achieved rate on selling net USD income was
around seven cents better in 2010 than the same period of 2009, contributing
£28m of transactional benefits. In addition translation benefits, mainly from
the Norwegian Krone, contributed £9m to underlying profit before tax in the
first-half.
2. Balance sheet and cash flow - The Group maintains a number of currency cash
balances which vary throughout the financial year. These were impacted by the
movements in exchange rates during the period, causing a small improvement of
£6m in the periodic cash flow and hence the closing balance sheet cash position.
Income statement:
The firm and announced order book, at constant exchange rates, was £58.4bn (2009 year-end £58.3bn) after reflecting new order intake of £5.9bn in the period. Aftermarket services included in the order book totalled £17.9bn (2009 year-end £16.5bn).
Revenues increased by five per cent compared with 2009 to £5,421m. Revenues on an underlying basis grew by seven per cent. Payments to industrial RRSPs, charged in cost of sales, amounted to £127m (2009 first-half £134m).
Gross research and development investment was £436m (2009 first-half £440m). Net research and development investment, charged to the income statement, was £192m (2009 first-half £200m) after net capitalisation of £46m (2009 first-half £46m) on development programmes in the period. Receipts from RRSPs in respect of new programme developments, shown as other operating income, were £82m (2009 first-half £68m), as key partners joined major new programmes, primarily the Trent XWB.
Restructuring costs of £24m (2009 first-half £37m) were charged, reflecting the ongoing improvement programmes designed to improve future operational performance.
Underlying profit margins before financing fell by approximately 0.3 per centto 9.4 per cent in the period, impacted specifically by strong growth in lowermargin original equipment revenues and retrofit charges within the Energybusiness, partially offset by both transactional and translational foreignexchange benefits of £37m.Net financing costs were £1,069m (2009 first-half income £1,922m) including theeffects of mark-to-market revaluations. Underlying finance costs were £29m(2009 first-half £33m), reflecting lower interest rates on cash deposits offsetby reduced financing charges on financial RRSP arrangements.Underlying profit before tax was £465m (2009 first-half £445m). Underlyingearnings per share reduced by five per cent, to 18.72p (2009 first-half 19.64p)(see note 5 on page 23), reflecting an increase in the effective rate ofunderlying tax compared to 2009.The income statement tax credit was £144m (2009 first-half charge £658m),reflecting the large mark-to-market loss caused by the revaluation of variousfinancial instruments at the period-end. The taxation charge on an underlyingbasis was £116m (2009 £85m), representing 24.9 per cent of underlying profitbefore tax. The 2010 full-year underlying tax rate is expected to be around 25 per cent.Balance sheet:Investment in intangibles during the period was £181m (2009 first-half £167m)and included £69m (2009 first-half £75m) for recoverable engine costs, £60m (2009 first-half £61m) for capitalised development costs and a further £38m (2009 first-half £26m) for certification costs and participation fees. In addition a total of £211m of goodwill and other intangibles were recognised on the acquisition of ODIM ASA. The continued development and replacement of operational facilities contributedto a total investment in property, plant and equipment of £139m (2009 first-half £106m). Overall, 2010 investment in tangible and intangible assets, excluding those related to the ODIM acquisition, are expected to be
slightly above the 2009 level of £633m.
The overall net position of assets and liabilities for TotalCare packages onthe balance sheet was an asset of £998m (2009 year-end £970m). The movementsreflect new agreements, timing of overhauls and changes in foreign exchangerates.Provisions were £489m (2009 year-end £442m), including increased provisionsagainst warranties and guarantees reflecting higher volumes. Provisionscarried forward in respect of potential customer financing exposure were £83m(2009 year-end £71m). Cash flow:
Overall working capital reduced by £279m in the period.
The cash inflow in the period of £113m (2009 first-half outflow £428m) included a £6m benefit (2009 first-half £194m outflow) relating to the period-end revaluation of foreign currency cash balances.
Excluding the effects of period-end revaluations, cash flow for the period was£341m higher than 2009. The improvement from 2009 primarily reflected a betterperformance on deposits and other financial working capital.
Average net cash for the period was £915m (2009 first-half £760m). The net cash balance at the period-end was £1,388m (2009 first-half £1,030m).
There were no material changes to the Group's gross and net contingentliabilities in the period. Contingent liabilities include commitments made toCivil aerospace customers in the form of asset value guarantees (AVGs) andcredit guarantees. At the end of June 2010, the gross level of commitments ondelivered aircraft was $1,129m (£699m), comprising $641m for AVGs and $488m forcredit guarantees. The net exposure after reflecting the level of security was$207m (£128m). The payment to shareholders will, as before, be made in the form of redeemableC Shares which shareholders may either choose to retain or redeem for a cashequivalent. The Registrar, on behalf of the Company, operates a C Share Reinvestment Plan (CRIP) and can, on behalf of shareholders, purchase ordinary shares from the market rather than delivering a cash payment. The interimpayment to shareholders is equivalent to 6.40 pence per ordinary share (2009 6.00 pence), a 6.7 per cent increase over the first-half of 2009.
The interim payment is payable on January 5, 2011 to shareholders on the register on October 29, 2010. The final day of trading with entitlement to
C Shares is October 26, 2010.

Notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements+
1 Basis of preparation and accounting policies
Reporting entityRollsâ€"Royce Group plc is a company domiciled in the UK. These condensedconsolidated half-year financial statements of the Company as at and for thesix months ended June 30, 2010 comprise the Company and its subsidiaries(together referred to as the "Group") and the Group's interests in jointventures and associates.The consolidated financial statements of the Group as at and for the year-endedDecember 31, 2009 (2009 Annual report) are available upon request from theCompany Secretary, Rollsâ€"Royce Group plc, 65 Buckingham Gate, London SW1E 6AT.Statement of complianceThese condensed consolidated half-year financial statements have been preparedin accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting as adopted by theEuropean Union. They do not include all of the information required for fullannual statements, and should be read in conjunction with the 2009 Annualreport. The comparative figures for the financial year December 31, 2009 are not theGroup's statutory accounts for that financial year. Those accounts have beenreported on by the Group's auditors and delivered to the registrar ofcompanies. The report of the auditors was (i) unqualified, (ii) did not includea reference to any matters to which the auditors drew attention by way ofemphasis without qualifying their report, and (iii) did not contain a statementunder section 498(2) or (3) of the Companies Act 2006.
The Board of directors approved the condensed consolidated half-year financial statements on July 28, 2010.
Significant accounting policiesThe accounting policies applied by the Group in these condensed consolidatedhalf-year financial statements are the same as those that applied to theconsolidated financial statements of the Group for the year-ended December 31,2009 (International Financial Reporting Standards issued by the
International Accounting Standards Board, as adopted for use in the EU effective at December 31, 2009), with the following exceptions:
Revised IFRS 3 Business Combinations and amendments to IAS 27 Consolidated andSeparate Financial Statements have been adopted. These standards affect theaccounting for acquisitions and transactions with non-controlling interests, inparticular, the acquisition of ODIM ASA. There is no retrospective impact.
IFRIC 18 Transfers of Assets from Customers has been adopted. This interpretation confirms the Group's existing policies for the recognition of assets received from customers and there is no significant impact.
Amendments to IFRS 2 Group Cash-settled Share-based Payment Transactions hasbeen adopted. These amendments apply to the International ShareSave Scheme, butthe impact is not significant.Key sources of estimation uncertaintyIn applying the accounting policies, management has made appropriate estimatesin many areas, and the actual outcome may differ from those calculated. The keysources of estimation uncertainty at the balance sheet date were the same asthose that applied to the consolidated financial statements of the Group forthe year-ended December 31, 2009.
2 Analysis by business segment
The analysis by business segment is presented in accordance with the basis set out in IFRS 8 Operating segments.
The operating results are prepared on an underlying basis that excludes items considered to be non-underlying in nature. The principles adopted are:
Underlying revenues - Where revenues are denominated in a currency other thanthe functional currency of the Group undertaking, these reflect the achievedexchange rates arising on settled derivative contracts and exclude the releaseof the foreign exchange transition hedging reserve, which was fully utilised in2009.Underlying profit before financing - Where transactions are denominated in acurrency other than the functional currency of the Group undertaking, thisreflects the transactions at the achieved exchange rates on settled derivativecontracts and excludes the release of the foreign exchange transition hedgingreserve.
Underlying profit before taxation - In addition to those adjustments in underlying profit before financing, this:
* Includes amounts realised from settled derivative contracts and revaluation of
relevant assets and liabilities to exchange rates forecast to be achieved from
future settlement of derivative contracts; and
* Excludes unrealised amounts arising from revaluations required by IAS 39
Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement, changes in value of
financial RRSP contracts arising from changes in forecast payments and the net
impact of financing costs related to post-retirement scheme benefits.
This analysis also includes a reconciliation of the underlying results to those reported in the consolidated income statement.

*1 Realised losses on settled derivative contracts included in profit before tax:
- includes £1m of realised losses (2009: half-year £10m, full-year £15m) deferred
from prior periods;
- excludes £7m of losses (2009: half-year nil, full-year gains of £6m) realised
in the period on derivative contracts settled in respect of cash flows that

In accordance with IAS 12 Income Taxes the effective rate doesnot take into account the impact in 2010 of the proposed reduction in the UKcorporation tax rate from 28% to 27% as the legislation had not beensubstantively enacted by the balance sheet date. (Similarly, proposed futurereductions in the rate to 24% will be reflected when the relevant legislationis substantively enacted.) The impact of the reduction in the rate on theunderlying effective tax rate for the full-year is not expected to besignificant.
5 Earnings per ordinary share (EPS)
Basic EPS is calculated by dividing the profit attributable to ordinaryshareholders by the weighted average number of ordinary shares in issue duringthe period, excluding ordinary shares held under trust, which have been treatedas if they had been cancelled.
Diluted EPS is calculated by dividing the profit attributable to ordinary shareholders by the weighted average number of ordinary shares in issue during the period as above, adjusted by the bonus element of share options.

9 Pensions and other post-retirement benefits
The net post-retirement scheme deficit as at June 30, 2010 is calculated on ayear to date basis, using the latest valuation as at December 31, 2009, updatedto June 30, 2010 for the principal schemes. This update does not take accountof the proposal, announced by the UK government on July 8, 2010, to limit therate of increases in pensions to the Consumer Prices Index rather than theRetail Price Index. The impact of this proposal will depend, inter alia, onthe rules of the relevant schemes and the detailed legislation supporting theproposal, which will be assessed during the second half of 2010. In 2009,there were no significant fluctuations or one-time events during the first-halfthat required adjustment to the actuarial assumptions made at December 31, 2008and the net post-retirement deficit was calculated on a year-to-date basis,using the valuation as at December 31, 2008.Movements in the net post-retirement position recognised in the balance sheetwere as follows: UK Overseas schemes schemes Total £m £m £mAt January 1, 2010 (380) (475) (855)Exchange adjustments - (29) (29)Current service cost (58) (16) (74)

venture has been recognised in other comprehensive income.
*2 Where a surplus has arisen on a scheme, in accordance with IAS 19 Employee
Benefits, the surplus is recognised as an asset only if it represents an
economic benefit available to the Group in the future. Any surplus in excess of
this benefit is not recognised in the balance sheet.
10 Contingent liabilities
In connection with the sale of its products the Group will, on some occasions,provide financing support for its customers. The Group's contingent liabilitiesrelated to financing arrangements are spread over many years and relate to anumber of customers and a broad product portfolio.
During the first-half of 2010, there were no material changes to the maximum gross and net contingent liabilities.
Contingent liabilities exist in respect of guarantees provided by the Group inthe ordinary course of business for product delivery, performance andreliability. The Group has, in the normal course of business, entered intoarrangements in respect of export finance, performance bonds, countertradeobligations and minor miscellaneous items. Various Group undertakings areparties to legal actions and claims which arise in the ordinary course ofbusiness, some of which are for substantial amounts. These include claimsreceived, which are yet to be substantiated, by EPI Europrop International GmbH(EPI) in which the Group is a partner, which is developing the TP400 engine forthe Airbus A400M aircraft. The Group has included in provisions the directors'best estimate of the expected loss on this programme. While the outcome ofsome of these matters cannot precisely be foreseen, the directors do not expectany of these arrangements, legal actions or claims, after allowing forprovisions already made, to result in significant loss to the Group.During the first-half of 2010, Airbus agreed in principle with the CustomerNations to: increase the price of the contract; waive all liquidated damagesrelated to current delays; provide additional funding in exchange for aparticipation in future export sales; and accelerate pre-delivery payments inthe period of 2010 to 2014. Although the impact of this agreement on EPI isnot yet certain, at June 30, 2010, the Group balance sheet had no net assetsassociated with the programme.

12 AcquisitionsOn April 7, 2010, the Group acquired 67 per cent of the issued share capital ofODIM ASA (ODIM). Together with the 33 per cent of the issued share capitalalready held, this gave the Group control of 100 per cent of ODIM. ODIM is aNorwegian marine technology company which develops and sells advanced automatedhandling systems for seismic and offshore vessels. ODIM's technology andunique subsea and deepwater capability complement the Group's existingactivities. Integrating ODIM's innovative technology and highly skilled peopleinto the Group will optimise the Group's offering and provide the globalcustomer base with a wider range of products and services in this importantmarket segment.Recognised amounts of identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed

The fair value of the Group's 33 per cent interest in ODIM before the acquisition was £77m. The Group recognised a gain of £3m as a result of remeasuring this interest, which is included in the share of profits of joint ventures and associates in the consolidated income statement for the period-ended June 30, 2010.
The goodwill of £115m (which is not tax-deductible) consists of anticipated synergies and the assembled workforce. The synergies principally arise from:
* increases in revenue from the combination of the routes to market; and
* cost savings from the combination of the supply chain and central functions.
The gross contractual value of trade and other receivables acquired is £58m. At the acquisition date it is estimated that contractual cash flows of £1m willnot be collected.Acquisition related costs (included in commercial and administrative costs) inthe consolidated income statement for the period-ended June 30, 2010, amountedto £2m.
ODIM contributed £101m revenue and £2m loss before tax (predominantly amortisation of intangible assets arising on acquisition) to the Group's results for the period between the date of acquisition and June 30, 2010.
If the acquisition of ODIM had been completed on January 1, 2010, the Group's revenues and loss before tax would have been £5,469m and £480m respectively.
Principal risks and uncertainties
As described on pages 24 to 26 of the Annual report 2009, the Group continuesto be exposed to a number of risks and has an established, structured approachto identifying, assessing and managing those risks. The Group has a consistentstrategy and long performance cycles and consequently the risks faced by theGroup have not changed significantly over the first six months of 2010.
Rolls-Royce has filed a patent infringement complaint against United Technologies Corporation (UTC) in the Federal Court for the Eastern District of Virginia alleging infringement by UTC of Rolls-Royce's swept fan patent.
The principal risks reflect the global growth of the business, and the competitive and challenging business environment in which it operates. Risks are considered under four broad headings:
Business environment risks Strategic risks * Cyclical downturn - global recession * Competitive pressures * Environmental impact of products and operations * Export controls
Financial risks Operational risks * Movements in foreign currency exchange rates * Performance of supply chain * Interest rates * IT security * Commodity prices * Ethics * Counterparty credit risk * Programme risk * Regulatory developments Going concernAfter making enquiries, the directors have a reasonable expectation that theGroup has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for theforeseeable future. For this reason they continue to adopt the going concernbasis in preparing the consolidated financial statements. The financial riskmanagement objectives and policies of the Group and the exposure of the Groupto price risk, credit risk, liquidity risk and cash flow risk are discussed inthe Finance Directors' review of the Annual report 2009 on pages 58 to 65.

Conclusion
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us tobelieve that the condensed set of financial statements in the half-yearlyfinancial report for the six months ended June 30, 2010 is not prepared, in allmaterial respects, in accordance with IAS 34 as adopted by the EU and the DTRof the UK FSA.AJ Sykesfor and on behalf of KPMG Audit PlcChartered Accountants, LondonJuly 28, 2010
