Fair value hierarchy
Financial instruments held at fair value are required to be measured by reference to the following levels:
•  Quoted prices in an active market (Level 1): This level of hierarchy includes financial instruments that are measured by 
reference to quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; 
•  Valuation techniques with observable inputs (Level 2): This level of hierarchy includes financial assets and liabilities measured 
using inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as 
prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices); and
•  Valuation techniques with significant unobservable inputs (Level 3): This level of hierarchy includes financial assets and 
liabilities measured using inputs that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs). Fair values are 
determined in whole or in part using a valuation model based on assumptions that are neither supported by prices from 
observable current market transactions in the same instrument nor are they based on available market data. 
The long-term unsecured listed bonds are held at amortised cost. Their fair value (disclosed above) is determined using Level 1 
valuation techniques, based on the closing price as at 31 March 2017 on the EURO MTF market. There has been no change in the 
valuation techniques adopted or any transfers between fair value levels in either current or prior periods as presented.
Fair values of cash and cash equivalents, short-term deposits, trade receivables and payables, short-term borrowings and other 
financial assets and liabilities (current and non-current excluding derivatives) are assumed to approximate to cost due to the 
short-term maturing of the instruments and as the impact of discounting is not significant.
Management uses its best judgement in estimating the fair value of its financial instruments. However, there are inherent 
limitations in any estimation technique. Therefore, for substantially all financial instruments, the fair value estimates presented 
above are not necessarily indicative of all the amounts that the Company could have realised in a sales transaction as of 
respective dates. The estimated fair value amounts as of 31 March 2017, 2016 and 2015 have been measured as of the 
respective dates. As such, the fair values of these financial instruments subsequent to the respective reporting dates may be 
different than the amounts reported at each year end.

(B) FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT
The Company is exposed to foreign currency exchange rate, commodity price, interest rate, liquidity and credit risks. The 
management of foreign currency exchange rate risk is discussed in the Strategic report. The Company has a risk management 
framework in place that monitors all of these risks as discussed below. This framework is approved by the JLR plc Board.
(C) FOREIGN CURRENCY EXCHANGE RATE RISK
The fluctuation in foreign currency exchange rates may have potential impact on the income statement and statement of 
changes in equity, where any transaction references more than one currency or where assets/liabilities are denominated in a 
currency other than the functional currency of the Company. 
As at 31 March 2017, 2016 and 2015, there are no designated cash flow hedges.
The Company’s operations are subject to risks arising from fluctuations in exchange rates. The risks primarily relate to 
fluctuations in the GBP:US Dollar rate as the Company has US Dollar assets and liabilities and a GBP functional currency.  
The following analysis has been calculated based on the gross exposure as of the parent company balance sheet date which 
could affect the income statement.
The following table sets forth information relating to foreign currency exposure as at 31 March 2017:
US Dollar

profit before tax and net assets by approximately £nil and £nil respectively.

(D) INTEREST RATE RISK
Interest rate risk is measured by using the cash flow sensitivity for changes in variable interest rates.
The Company is presently funded with long-term fixed interest rate bonds. The Company is subject to variable interest rates on 
certain other debt obligations.
As at 31 March 2017, net financial assets of £335 million (2016: £34 million, 2015: £34 million) were subject to the variable 
interest rate. An increase/decrease of 100 basis points in interest rates at the balance sheet date would result in an impact of  
£3 million (2016, 2015: £nil). 
The risk estimates provided assume a parallel shift of 100 basis points interest rate across all yield curves. This calculation also 
assumes that the change occurs at the balance sheet date and has been calculated based on risk exposures outstanding as at 
that date. The year-end balances are not necessarily representative of the average debt outstanding during the year.
(E) LIQUIDITY RISK
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. 
The Company’s policy on liquidity risk is to ensure that sufficient borrowing facilities are available to fund ongoing operations 
without the need to carry significant net debt over the medium term. The quantum of committed borrowing facilities available 
to the Company is reviewed regularly and is designed to exceed forecast peak gross debt levels.
