Report of Independent Auditors
 
To the Board of Directors and Shareholder of Rexam Inc:
 
In our opinion, the combined financial statements listed in the accompanying index present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Rexam Closures (the “Business”), a component of Rexam PLC (the “Company” or "Rexam") at December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years ended December 31, 2010 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.  These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.  We conducted our audit of these statements in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.  We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
As discussed in Notes 1 and 3 to the combined financial statements, the Business and Rexam and its subsidiaries, engage in extensive intercompany transactions.  These financial statements have been derived from the financial statements of Rexam and reflect significant allocations of the costs of the services provided to the Business by Rexam and its subsidiaries on a basis that management believes is appropriate in the circumstances.  The financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Business could differ from those that would have resulted had the Business operated autonomously or independently of Rexam and its subsidiaries.

1.
Nature of operations and basis of presentation
 
Rexam Closures (the "Business") is a component of the Plastic Packaging operating segment of Rexam PLC ("Rexam"), a publicly traded company on the London Stock Exchange based in London, UK. The operations of the Business reside substantially within various wholly owned subsidiaries of Rexam Inc, itself a wholly owned subsidiary of Rexam PLC.
 
 
The combined financial statements reflect the historical financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Business for the years presented. During the years presented the Business manufactured plastic packaging closure products in the United States, Brazil, Hungary, Poland and Mexico, manufactured bottles for ink jet cartridges in Singapore and Malaysia and assembled ink jet cartridges in Singapore. The combined financial statements reflect the amounts that have been “carved out” from Rexam’s consolidated financial statements and reflect assumptions and allocations made by Rexam to depict the Business on a stand alone basis. As certain expenses reflected in the combined financial statements include allocations of corporate expenses from Rexam and allocations of expenses incurred at Rexam shared service locations, the combined financial statements may not be indicative of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows that would have been presented if the Business had been a stand alone entity. Therefore, the combined financial statements may not necessarily be indicative of the future financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
 
 
As Rexam uses a centralized cash management system, all allocated costs and expenses have been deemed to have been paid by the Business to Rexam in the year in which the costs were incurred. Likewise current income taxes are deemed to have been remitted, in cash, by or to Rexam in the year the related income taxes were recorded.  Amounts due to or due from Rexam, excluding “short term debt - affiliates”, have been classified within owners’ net investment. A discussion of the relationship with Rexam, including a description of the costs that have been allocated to the Business, is included in Note 3 "Related Parties".
 
 
During 2010, the Business reorganized certain operations resulting in net assets being transferred to other Rexam entities. The transfer of net assets has been reflected as net non cash distributions to Rexam of $33.5 for the year ended December 31, 2010.
 
 
Cash in the Combined Balance Sheets represents cash held locally by the Business and excludes the shared treasury function of Rexam. There is no external long term debt specifically related to the operations of the Business, and therefore none has been attributed to the combined financial statements.
 

 
2.
Summary of accounting principles
 
Use of estimates
 
The preparation of the combined financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. The Business bases its estimates on historical experience, knowledge of current business conditions and various other factors it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
 
Combination
 
The combined financial statements have been prepared for the Business on the basis it was historically managed by Rexam. All significant intercompany transactions within the Business have been eliminated. All significant balances between the Business and other Rexam entities are included in the combined financial statements as a component of owners’ net investment, apart from “short term debt - affiliates” discussed below. All intercompany transactions with Rexam are considered to be settled for cash in the Combined Statements of Cash Flows at the time the transaction is recorded except for the net asset transfer described in Note 1.
 
 
Cash
 
Cash includes cash on hand and demand deposits that are highly liquid in nature and have original maturities of three months or less.

Summary of accounting principles (continued)
 
Accounts receivable
 
Accounts receivable are recognized net of estimated payment discounts, product return allowances and uncollectible allowances. Uncollectible allowances were $0.5 and $0.9 at December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.
 
 
Financial instruments
The carrying amount of cash, trade receivables and trade accounts payable approximates fair value due to the short maturity (less than one year) of the instruments. Derivative financial instruments are recorded in the Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value as either assets or liabilities. Changes in the fair value of derivatives are recorded in each year in cost of goods sold in the Combined Statements of Operations as they are not designated as part of a hedge transaction. The cost/(income) related to changes in fair value of derivatives was $0.4, $(9.7), and $9.2 for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively.
 
 
Inventories
 
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and market value. Cost is determined on a first in first out basis.  Components of finished goods and work in process include raw materials, labor and overheads.
 
 
Property, plant and equipment
 
Property, plant and equipment is carried at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is provided over the assets’ useful lives using the straight line method. Land and assets under construction are not depreciated. For all other long lived assets, depreciation is calculated to allocate cost, less residual value of the assets, over their estimated useful lives as follows:

Buildings                                                                                                         Up to 50 years
Machinery and equipment                                                                    7 to 17 years
Computer software                                                                                         2 to 7 years

The Business reviews long lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable. The Business conducts its long lived asset impairment analyses in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 360-10-15, “Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”. ASC 360-10-15 requires the Business to group assets and liabilities at the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of the cash flows of other assets and liabilities and evaluate the asset group against the sum of the undiscounted future cash flows. If the undiscounted cash flows do not indicate the carrying amount of the asset group is recoverable, an impairment charge is measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset group exceeds its fair value based on discounted cash flow analysis or appraisals. Following this methodology, the Business recorded impairment charges of property, plant and equipment, primarily in the US Segment, of $0.8, $18.6 and $3.2 for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively.
 
The Business capitalizes costs associated with purchased software and internally developed software, in accordance with ASC 350-40, “Internal-Use Software”.
 
 
Goodwill and intangible assets
 
Goodwill represents costs in excess of fair values assigned to the underlying net assets of acquired businesses. Goodwill is not amortized but is subject to annual impairment testing, or more frequently if there are indicators an impairment may be present, using the guidance and criteria described in ASC 350, “Intangibles ­ Goodwill and Other”.  The Business performs its annual goodwill impairment analysis as of December 31 for each fiscal year. The Business evaluates whether goodwill has been impaired at the reporting unit level by first determining whether the estimated fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying value and, if so, by determining whether the implied fair value of goodwill within the reporting unit is less than the carrying value. Fair values are determined by discounted future cash flow analyses.

Summary of accounting principles (continued)
 
The Business does not have any indefinite lived intangible assets. Intangible assets with finite lives are amortized over their estimated useful lives and are subject to impairment testing if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired in accordance with ASC 360-10-15, “Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets” in a similar manner to property, plant and equipment.
 
 
The Business conducted its annual impairment test of goodwill as of December 31, 2009 and as a result it concluded that the carrying amount of goodwill assigned to the US reporting unit exceeded the implied fair value. Consequently it recorded an impairment charge in the US Segment of $389.7 for the year ended December 31, 2009. The Business was valued using the income approach, which required estimates of future operating results and cash flows discounted using a discount rate of 9.5 percent. The estimates of future operating results and cash flows were principally derived from financial outlook of the Business as of December 31, 2009 in light of the anticipated decline in future profitability and cash flow forecasts resulting from adverse market conditions in the US economy.
 
 
The Business considered the downturn in the financial outlook as a triggering event to perform an impairment assessment over long lived intangible assets. This impairment assessment indicated the carrying values could not be recovered through undiscounted future net cash flows. The Business measured the amount of impairment by calculating the amount by which the carrying value of the assets exceeded their estimated fair values, which were based on projected discounted future net cash flows, resulting in an impairment charge in the US Segment of $263.6 for the year ended December 31, 2009.
 
 
Partially owned affiliates
 
The Business accounts for its 50% ownership in Rexam Mega SA de CV using the equity method.  The investment balance was $2.6 and $3.2 as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.
 
 
In May 2009 the Business sold its interest in an partially owned affiliate for $3.0, realizing a loss of $5.4 on the transaction.
 
 
The Business's share of losses in its partially owned affiliates was $0.6, $1.5 and $1.8 for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively.
 
 
Income taxes
 
Income taxes are presented on a separate return basis as if the Business were a standalone entity. Historically, the US segment of the Business has been included in the consolidated tax return of Rexam Inc. Current income taxes are assumed to be settled with Rexam, in the year the related income taxes are recorded, through distributions to Rexam. The Business accounts for deferred income taxes using the liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carry forwards. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the year of enactment of such change. No provision is made for US income taxes applicable to undistributed earnings of foreign operations that are indefinitely reinvested. The Business provides for tax benefits that arise from uncertain tax positions. This liability is provided whenever the Business determines that a tax benefit will not meet a more likely than not threshold for recognition.
 
 
Revenue recognition
 
The Business recognizes revenue from product sales when the title and risk of loss has transferred to the customer, when the Business has no remaining obligations regarding the transaction and when collection is reasonably assured. The Business reduces revenue for estimated customer returns and other allowances including estimated rebates to be provided to customers. Shipping and handling fees and costs incurred in connection with products sold are recorded within cost of goods sold in the Combined Statements of Operations.

Summary of accounting principles (continued)
 
Foreign currency translation
 
The functional currencies of all non US operations of the Business are the local currencies. Assets and liabilities are translated into US dollars at the rates of exchange on the balance sheet date. Income and expenses are translated into US dollars at the average rates of exchange prevailing during the year. The related translation adjustments are accumulated in a separate section of the Combined Statements of Changes in Owners’ Net Investment Attributable to Rexam Closures.
 
 
Research and development
 
Research and development costs are expensed as incurred.
 
 
Employee benefit plans
 
Certain employees of the Business participate in Rexam sponsored employee benefit plans including defined benefit pension plans and post retirement healthcare plans. The cost of the shared employee benefit plans has been allocated to the Business and recognized in the Combined Statements of Operations.
 
 
Stock based compensation
 
Certain employees of the Business participate in Rexam sponsored equity settled and cash settled stock based compensation arrangements. The expense reflected in the combined financial statements relates to stock awards of Rexam and not stock awards of the Business, as the Business does not grant stock awards.
 
 
For equity settled stock options, the services received from employees are measured by reference to the fair value of the stock options. The fair value is calculated at grant date and recognized as an expense in the Combined Statements of Operations, together with a corresponding increase in owners’ net investment, on a straight line basis over the vesting period, which is generally three years and based on an estimate of the number of options that will eventually vest. Vesting conditions, which comprise service conditions and performance conditions, are not taken into account when estimating the fair value. All non vesting conditions are included in the fair value. For cash settled stock options, the services received from employees are measured as the fair value of the liability and recognized as an expense in the Combined Statements of Operations on a straight line basis over the vesting period. The fair value of the liability is measured at each balance sheet date and at the date of settlement, with changes in fair value recognized in the Combined Statements of Operations.
 
 
New accounting pronouncements
 
In September 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued new standards for revenue recognition with multiple deliverables. These new standards impact the determination of when the individual deliverables included in a multiple element arrangement may be treated as separate units of accounting. Additionally, these new standards modify the manner in which the transaction consideration is allocated across the separately identified deliverables by no longer permitting the residual method of allocating arrangement consideration. These new standards are effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2010 and may be applied retrospectively or prospectively for new or materially modified arrangements. The Business does not expect that the adoption of the guidance will have a material impact on its financial position, results of operations, cash flows or disclosures.
 
 
There are no other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued but not adopted in these combined financial statements that are expected to have a material impact.

4.       Employee benefit plans
 
Certain employees of the Business participate in Rexam's defined benefit pension and post retirement benefit plans. These benefits have been accounted for as multi-employer plans in these combined financial statements in accordance with ASC 715 “Retirement Plans”, which provides that an employer that participates in a multi-employer defined benefit plan is not required to report a liability beyond contributions currently due and unpaid to the plan. Therefore no assets or liabilities related to these plans have been included in the Combined Balance Sheets. Costs associated with these pension and post retirement benefits have been allocated to the Business based on the relative participation of employees of the Business in these plans.

Stock based compensation
 
Rexam maintains equity and cash settled stock based compensation arrangements, including a Long Term Incentive Plan (LTIP) and a Phantom Stock Plan (Phantoms) in which certain employees of the Business participate.
 
The LTIP measures performance targets over a three year period. Options typically vest, subject to performance targets being achieved, on the third anniversary of the date of grant at zero cost to the employee. Equity settled options granted in 2010 are subject to two performance conditions, compound annual earnings per share growth of Rexam and relative total shareholder return performance of Rexam in the proportion 60% and 40%, respectively. Cash settled options granted in 2010 are subject to a single performance condition, compound earnings per share growth of Rexam.
 
Phantoms granted in 2008 vest three years after the grant date, without the need to achieve any performance targets, provided the participant is an employee of Rexam at that time, and expire ten years after grant date. The exercise price is set at market value using the market price of Rexam stock at the grant date.
 
A summary of the transactions under all stock based compensation arrangements is as follows:

*     Weighted average exercise price per share
 
**   Fair value less exercise price
 
 
The fair value of each award is calculated on the date of grant using the binomial model for Phantoms and the Monte Carlo and Black-Scholes models for LTIP. The following table indicates the assumptions used in estimating fair value.
 
 
Expected volatility                                                               28.9% to 39.4%
Weighted average volatility                                              31.9%
Expected term (years)                                                          2.2 to 2.7
Expected dividends                                                             4.5% to 6.1%
Risk free rate                                                                         0.8% to 3.3%
 
Historical data is used to estimate equity award exercise and employee termination behavior within the valuation models. The fair value of each Phantom award is recalculated at the end of each year and the liability and expense adjusted based on the new fair value. The compensation cost/(income) associated with all stock based compensation arrangements was $0.7, $0, and $(0.1) for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively.
 
As of December 31, 2010, there was $1.6 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested stock options which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.2 years.
 
 
14.       Restructurings
 
The Business periodically reviews and evaluates the need to restructure in order to streamline operations, improve efficiencies and reduce costs. These actions subject the Business to additional short term and one off costs, which may include facility shutdown costs, asset impairment charges, real estate carrying costs and employee severance costs.
 
 
2008
 
In July 2008, the decision was taken to close the plant at Bowling Green, OH as part of a cost savings program to increase plant utilization. The closure resulted in the transfer of 6 machines to other Rexam entities, the disposal of 12 machines to third parties, the elimination of 110 positions at a cost of $5.1 and other costs of $0.1.
 
 
In December 2008, the decision was taken to close the plant in Hungary. The closure resulted in the transfer of 6 machines to other Rexam entities, the termination of the plant lease at a cost of $1.1, the elimination of 52 positions at a cost of $0.7 and other costs of $0.8.

As a result of this closure and other ongoing initiatives in the US, the Business eliminated 46 positions at a cost of $9.2 of which $5.0 will be paid during 2011. Building restoration costs for the Constantine, MI, facility of $2.1 were transferred to another Rexam entity together with the building where the ultimate disposal of the property will be managed.
 
In August 2010, the decision was taken to cease production at the Singapore plant, resulting in the elimination of 176 positions at a cost of $1.1.

Certain administrative and production facilities and equipment are leased and accounted for as operating leases. Most leases are short term in nature and may contain renewal options for varying periods. Certain leases include options to purchase the leased property during or at the end of the lease term. Leases generally require the Business to pay for insurance, taxes and maintenance of the property. Rent expense attributable to all buildings and equipment operating leases, including allocated rental expense, was $8.4, $9.3 and $7.2 for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively. Total minimum future rentals payments under non cancelable operating leases are as follows:

16.           Segment information
 
The Business reports segment information based on the “management” approach. This approach designates the internal reporting used by management for making decisions and assessing performance as the source of the reportable segments. The Business manages its operations primarily on a geographic basis. Accordingly, it determined its operating and reporting segments, which are generally based on the nature and location of its customers, to be the US and International operations. Each reportable operating segment provides similar products and similar services. The Business evaluates the performance of its operating segments based on net sales and operating (loss)/income.
 
Net sales for geographic segments are generally based on the location of customers. No single country outside of the US accounted for more than 10% of net sales in 2010, 2009 or 2008. There were two customers that individually accounted for more than 10% of net sales in 2010, 2009 and 2008.
 
Segment information for net sales, customers accounting for more than 10% of net sales, operating (loss)/income, depreciation and amortization and property, plant and equipment is as follows:

Commitments and contingencies
 
The Business is occasionally involved in lawsuits relating to ongoing operations, investigations by regulatory and fiscal authorities and obligations arising under environmental legislation. Insurance coverage is generally maintained and estimated costs are recorded for claims and suits of this nature. It is the opinion of management that none of these will have a material adverse effect on the financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Business. Costs related to such matters are not considered to be material in the years presented.
