The quantum leap – Visiocorp acquisition
About Visiocorp
The mergers and acquisitions that the Company had been undertaking
all these years contributed significantly to its growth. However, the
recent acquisition of Visiocorp has a unique significance for the
Company because of its size, turnover, customer base, technology,
geographical spread and the way it has positioned MSSL as a tier-1
supplier on a global level. With this acquisition, MSSL has taken a big
leap in its growth and expansion plans.
Visiocorp is one of the largest manufacturers of exterior rear view
mirrors for passenger cars in the world. Visiocorp was originally named
Schefenacker. The rear view mirror business was developed by
combining Britax, Engelmann and Schefenacker.
Visiocorp’s global share of exterior mirrors for passenger cars is around
30%, and that for the Indian passenger car segment is around 48% as
accessed by the company. The market leader in Europe, Visiocorp
manufactures approx. 30 mn exterior mirrors and 10 mn interior mirrors
per annum. It supplies exterior mirrors, interior mirrors and blind spot
detection systems for all passenger vehicle segments to nearly every
carmaker in North America, Europe, Asia and Australia.
Visiocorp has about 50 customers covering all the major OEMs in the
world. The main customers of Visiocorp include BMW, Chrysler, Daimler,
Ford/Volvo, GM, Hyundai/Kia, Mahindra & Mahindra, Maruti Suzuki,
Mitsubishi, Porsche, PSA, Renault/Nissan, Tata JLR, Toyota,

Schedules forming part of the Accounts
SCHEDULE XIII - Significant Accounting Policies and Notes forming part of Accounts (Contd.)
The Company charges assets Costing less than Rs 5,000 to expense, which could otherwise have been included as Fixed
Asset, because the amount is not material in accordance with Accounting Standard 10 -'Accounting for Fixed Assets'.
DEPRECIATION
i) Depreciation on fixed assets except as stated in (ii) below, is provided from the month the asset is ready for commercial
production on a pro-rata basis at the SLM rates prescribed in schedule XIV to the Companies Act, 1956 or based on
useful life, whichever is higher. In accordance with the above policy the following assets are depreciated, at rates
higher than those prescribed in schedule XIV of the Companies Act, 1956:
Rate (%)
Computers 33.33
Vehicles 25.00
Furniture, fixtures & Office equipments 16.67

Specific Identified Plant & Machinery 25.00
ii) In respect of revalued assets, depreciation is being provided on the revalued amounts over the remaining useful life of
the assets at the SLM rates. Leasehold Land is amortized over the balance period of lease.
3. INVESTMENTS
Investments are classified into long term and current investments. Long-term investments are stated at cost. A provision for
diminution is made to recognise a decline, other than temporary, in the value of long term investments.
Current investments are carried at lower of cost and fair value. Fair value in the case of quoted investments refers to the market
value of the investments arrived at on the basis of last traded prices as at the year-end.
4. INVENTORIES
Stores and spares, loose tools are valued at cost or net realizable value, whichever is lower.
Raw materials, components, finished goods and work in progress are valued at cost or net realizable value, whichever is lower.
The basis of determining cost for various categories of inventories is as follows:
i) Stores and Spares, Raw Materials and Components First in First Out (FIFO) method
ii) Work in Progress and Finished Goods Material cost plus appropriate share of labour and production
overheads.
iii) Tools Cost less amortization based on useful life of the items
ascertained on a technical estimate by the management
5. EMPLOYEE BENEFITS
The Company makes regular contributions to the State administered Provident Fund which is charged against revenue. The
Company provides for long term defined benefit schemes of gratuity and compensated absences on the basis of actuarial
valuation on the balance sheet date based on the Projected Unit Credit Method. In respect of gratuity, the Company funds the
benefits through annual contributions to Life Insurance Corporation of India (LIC) under its Group Gratuity Scheme. The

actuarial valuation of the liability towards the defined benefits of the employees is made on the basis of assumptions with
respect to the variable elements affecting the computations including estimation of interest rate of earnings on contributions
to LIC. The Company recognises the actuarial gains and losses in the profit and loss account in the period in which they occur.
6. REVENUE RECOGNITION
Sales are recognised upon the transfer of significant risks and rewards of ownership to the customers.
Revenue from services is recognised as per the terms of the agreement, as the services are rendered and no significant
uncertainty exists regarding the amount of consideration.
Interest Income is recognised on a proportion of time basis taking into account the principal outstanding and the rate applicable.
7. FOREIGN EXCHANGE TRANSACTIONS
Transactions involving foreign currencies are recorded at the exchange rate prevailing on the transaction date. Foreign currency
monetary items are translated at the exchange rate prevailing at the balance sheet date and the gain/loss arising on such
translation is charged to the profit and loss account. Premium or discount arising at the inception of a forward exchange
contract is amortized as expense or income over the life of contract.
8. BORROWING COSTS
The borrowing costs on funds other than those directly attributable to the acquisition of a qualifying asset i.e. an asset that
necessarily takes a substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use, is charged to revenue in the period in which they
are incurred.
The borrowing costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of qualifying assets are capitalised
as part of the cost of that asset.
9. LEASES

agreement on a straight-line basis over the lease period.
Lease rentals in respect of finance lease transactions entered into prior to 31st March 2001 is charged to expense when due as
per the terms of the related agreement. Finance lease transactions entered into after this date are considered as financing
arrangements and the leased asset is capitalised at an amount equal to the present value of future lease payments and a
corresponding amount is recognised as a liability. The lease payments made are apportioned between finance charge and
reduction of outstanding liability in relation to leased asset.
10. TAXATION
Current Tax
Current tax is provided on the basis of tax payable on estimated taxable income computed in accordance with the applicable
provisions of Income tax Act, 1961 after considering the benefits available under the said Act.

Deferred Taxes
In accordance with Accounting Standard 22 - Accounting for Taxes on Income, issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants
of India, the deferred tax for timing differences between the book and tax profits for the year is accounted for using the tax
rates and laws that have been enacted or substantially enacted as of the balance sheet date.
Deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent there is reasonable certainty that the assets can be realised in the future;
however, where there is unabsorbed depreciation or carried forward loss under taxation laws, deferred tax assets are recognised
only if there is virtual certainty of realisation of such assets.
Fringe Benefit Tax
Fringe benefit tax is determined based on the liability computed in accordance with relevant tax rates and tax laws.
11. EARNINGS PER SHARE (EPS)
The earnings considered in ascertaining the Company's EPS comprises the net profit after tax (and includes the post tax effect
of any extra ordinary items) attributable to equity shareholders. The number of shares used in computing Basic EPS is the
weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year. The diluted EPS is calculated on the same basis as basic EPS,
after adjusting for the effect of potential dilutive equity shares.
12. IMPAIRMENT OF ASSETS
Impairment loss, if any, is provided to the extent, the carrying amount of assets exceeds their recoverable amount. Recoverable
amount is higher of an asset's net selling price, and its value in use. Value in use is the present value of estimated future cash
flows expected to arise from the continuing use of an asset and from its disposal at the end of its useful life.
13. PROVISIONS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES
A provision is recognised when there is a present obligation as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of
resources will be required to settle the obligation and in respect of which reliable estimate can be made. A disclosure for a
contingent liability is made when there is a possible obligation or a present obligation that may, but probably will not, require
an outflow of resources. Where there is a possible obligation or a present obligation in respect of which the likelihood of
outflow of resources is remote, no provision or disclosure is made.
14. USE OF ESTIMATES
In the preparation of the financial statements, the management of the Company makes estimates and assumptions in conformity
with the applicable accounting principles in India that affect the reported balances of assets and liabilities and disclosures
relating to contingent assets and liabilities, as at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of income and
expenses during the period. Examples of such estimates include provisions for doubtful debts, future obligations under employee
retirement benefit plans, income taxes, the useful lives of fixed assets and intangible assets and estimates for recognising
impairment losses.
These estimates could change from period to period and also the actual results could vary from the estimates. Appropriate
changes are made to the estimates as the management becomes aware of changes in circumstances surrounding these estimates.
The changes in estimates are reflected in the financial statements in the period in which changes are made and, if material,
their effects are disclosed in the notes to the financial statements.

25. The Company has a comprehensive system of maintenance of information and documents as required by the transfer pricing
legislation under sections 92-92F of the Income Tax Act, 1961. Since the law requires existence of such information and
documentation to be contemporaneous in nature, the Company appoints independent consultants for conducting a Transfer
Pricing Study to determine whether the transactions with associate enterprises are undertaken, during the financial year, on an
"arms length basis". Adjustments, if any, arising from the transfer pricing study shall be accounted for as and when the study is
completed for the current financial year. However the management is of the opinion that its international transactions are at
arm's length so that the aforesaid legislation will not have any impact on the financial statements, particularly on the amount
of tax expense and that of provision for taxation.
26. The corresponding figures of previous year have been regrouped, rearranged wherever necessary to conform to the current
year's classification.

Schedules forming part of the Consolidated Accounts
SCHEDULE XIII - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND NOTES FORMING PART OF THE CONSOLIDATED ACCOUNTS
A. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
1. Basis of Accounting
The Financial Statements are prepared to comply in all material aspects with all the applicable accounting principles in India, the
applicable accounting standards notified under section 211 (3C) of the Companies Act, 1956 and the relevant provisions of the
Companies Act,1956. The Company follows the mercantile system of accounting and recognises income and expenditure on
accrual basis.
2. Principles of Consolidation
The Consolidated Financial Statements relate to Financial Statements of Motherson Sumi Systems Limited ('the Company') and
it's Subsidiary Companies, Joint Ventures and Associates ('the Group').
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the following basis:
a) Subsidiaries
i) The subsidiaries have been consolidated by applying Accounting Standard 21 "Consolidated Financial Statements".
ii) Subsidiaries are consolidated from the date on which effective control is transferred to the Group and are no longer
consolidated from the date of disposal.
iii) The financial statements of the Company and its Subsidiary Companies have been combined on a line-by-line basis by
adding together the book values of like items of assets, liabilities, income and expenses after fully eliminating intra-
group balances & intra-group transactions resulting in unrealised profits or losses.
iv) The excess of the cost of acquisition over the Company's portion of equity and reserves of the Subsidiary Company at
each time an investment is made in a subsidiary is recognised in the financial statements as goodwill. Negative
goodwill is recognised as capital reserve.
b) Investment in business entities over which the Company exercises joint control and the Company does not hold majority
voting power are accounted for using proportionate consolidation in accordance with Accounting Standard 27 "Financial
Reporting of Interest in Joint Venture".
c) Investment in Associates (entity over which the Company exercises significant influence, which is neither a subsidiary nor
a joint venture) are accounted for using the equity method in accordance with Accounting Standard 23 "Accounting for
Investments in Associates in Consolidated Financial Statements".
d) The Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared using financial statements drawn upto same reporting dates
to the extent practicable and where financial statements used are drawn up to different reporting dates adjustments are
made for any significant transactions for events occurring between those dates and the date of this financial statement.
e) The Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared using uniform accounting policies for like transactions and
other events in similar circumstances except as sated below and are presented to the extent possible, in the same manner
as the Company's separate financial statements.

In respect of the following the group follows different accounting policies as it is not considered feasible to make the
accounting policies uniform
i) The Group has reported its interest in a joint venture, Ningbo Visiocorp Huaxiang Automotive Mirrors Company
Limited (NVHAML) as an associate, using the equity method instead of using the proportionate consolidation method.
The Group's share in the revenues and the total expenditure of NVHAML for the period ended March 31, 2009 since
acquisition amount to Rs. 28,875 thousand and Rs. 30,667 thousand respectively. This does not impact the reported
profits of the Group for the year ended March 31, 2009 or the net assets of the Group as at March 31, 2009.
ii) In certain subsidiaries of the group, inventories are valued on a weighted average cost basis as against the group
policy of valuing inventories on First in First Out ('FIFO') cost basis. The total value of inventories valued on weighted
average basis amount to Rs. 670,497 thousand as at March 31, 2009.
3. Fixed Assets
i) The fixed assets except as stated in (ii) below are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Cost of acquisition or
construction is inclusive of inward freight, duties and taxes and other incidental expenses.
ii) The fixed assets of the Component Division of erstwhile Motherson Auto Components Engineering Limited (MACE) have
been stated at an amount inclusive of appreciation arising on revaluation of the assets by an approved valuer on December
31, 1998. The method adopted for revaluation of the assets are as under:
a) Land: Prevailing market rate of land as on the date of revaluation.
b) Buildings, Indigenous Plant and Machinery, Furniture and Fixtures, Moulds and Dies: Replacement value.
The Group charges assets costing less than Rs 5,000 to Rs. 350,000 to expenditure based on limits identified by each entity ,
which could otherwise have been included as Fixed Asset, because the amount is not material in accordance with Accounting
standard 10-' Accounting for fixed Assets'
4. Depreciation
i) Depreciation on fixed assets, except as stated in (ii) to (v) below, is provided from the month the asset is ready for
commercial production on a pro-rata basis based on useful life or where applicable, at the SLM rates prescribed in schedule
XIV to the Companies Act, 1956 whichever is higher. Accordingly the assets are amortised, on the straight line method as
per the rates below:
Indian Entities Overseas Entities

Rates % Rates %
Building -Residential 1.63 2.5-5
Building - Factory 3.34 1.52-20.00
Plant & machinery 4.75-25 5-25
Plant & machinery (Racks Stands & Trolleys) 100 8.00-100
Furniture, Fixtures & Office Equipments 16.67 7.69-33.33
Computers 33.33 9.86-33.33
Vehicles 25 9.86-33.33

ii) In respect of revalued assets, depreciation is being provided on the revalued amounts over the remaining useful life of the
assets at the SLM rates. Leasehold Land is amortised over the balance period of lease.
iii) Goodwill generated on consolidation in respect of subsidiaries is being carried at cost.
iv) Technical know-how fees paid to a foreign collaborator by one of the consolidating company is being depreciated on SLM
basis @ 50%.
v) Intangible Assets are amortised over a period of 2 to 5 years based on their useful lives.
5. Investments
Investments other than in subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates, which are accounted for separately as per Note 2 above,
are classified into long term and current investments. Long term investments are stated at cost. A provision for diminution is
made to recognise a decline, other than temporary, in the value of long term investments.
Current investments are carried at lower of cost and fair value. Fair value in the case of quoted investments refers to the market
value of the investments arrived at on the basis of last traded prices as at the year-end.
6. Inventory
Stores and spares, loose tools are valued at cost or net realisable value, whichever is lower.
Raw materials, components, finished goods and work in progress are valued at cost or net realisable value, whichever is lower.
The basis of determining cost for various categories of inventories is as follows:
i) Stores and Spares, Raw Materials and Components First in First Out (FIFO) method other than in respect of certain
subsidiaries where costs are determined on a weighted average
basis. (Refer Note 2 (e)(ii) above)
ii) Work in Progress and Finished Goods Material cost plus appropriate share of labour and production
overheads.
iii) Tools Cost less amortisation based on useful life of the items ascertained
on a technical estimate by the management
7. Employee Benefits
a) In respect of the companies incorporated in India
The Group makes regular contributions to the State administered Provident Fund which is charged against revenue. The
Group provides for long term defined benefit schemes of gratuity and compensated absences on the basis of actuarial
valuation on the balance sheet date based on the Projected Unit Credit Method. In respect of gratuity, the Group funds
the benefits through annual contributions to Life Insurance Corporation of India (LIC) under its Group Gratuity Scheme.
The actuarial valuation of the liability towards the defined benefits of the employees is made on the basis of assumptions
with respect to the variable elements affecting the computations including estimation of interest rate of earnings on
contributions to LIC. The Group recognises the actuarial gains and losses in the profit and loss account in the period in
which they occur.

b) In respect of the companies incorporated outside India
Pensions
The Group operates various defined benefit pension plans, certain of which require contributions to be made to
separately administered funds whereas others are not funded.
The cost of providing benefits under the defined benefit plans is determined separately for each plan using the Projected
Unit Credit Method and is based on actuarial advice. The interest element of the defined benefit cost represents the
change in present value of scheme obligations resulting from the passage of time and is determined by applying the
discount rate to the opening present value of the benefit obligation, taking into account material changes in the obligation
during the year. The expected return on plan assets is based on an assessment made at the beginning of the year of long-
term market returns on scheme assets, adjusted for the effect on the fair value of plan assets of contributions received and
benefits paid during the year.
The defined benefit pension asset or liability in the balance sheet comprises the total for each plan of the present value of
the defined benefit obligation (using a discount rate based on high quality corporate bonds), less any past service cost not
yet recognised and the fair value of plan assets out of which the obligations are to be settled directly. Fair value is based on
market price information and in the case of quoted securities is the published bid price.
The value of a net pension benefit asset is restricted to the sum of any unrecognised past service costs and the present
value of any amount the Group expects to recover by way of refund from the plan or reduction in the future contributions.
An economic benefit, in the form of a refund or a reduction in future contributions, is available if the Group can realise it
at some point during the life of the plan or when the plan liabilities are settled. In particular, such an economic benefit may
be available even if it is not realisable immediately at the balance sheet date. The economic benefit available does not
depend on how the Group intends to use the surplus. The Group determines the maximum economic benefit that is
available from refund, reduction in future contributions or a combination of both. Legal or contractual minimum funding
requirements in general stipulate a minimum amount or level of contributions that must be made to a plan over a given
period. Therefore, a minimum funding requirement may limit the ability of the entity to reduce future contributions and
considered respectively in determining the economic benefit from the plan.
Contributions to defined contribution schemes are recognised in the income statement in the period in which they become
payable.
Other Long term benefits
The Group recognises as an expenditure the present value of long term retention bonuses, where applicable based on the
expected amounts to pay by considering expectancies of employee fluctuation. The level of fluctuation significantly
impacts the amount to be paid in the future.
8. Revenue Recognition
Sales are recognised upon the transfer of significant risks and rewards of ownership to the customers.
Revenue from services is recognised as per the terms of the agreement, as the services are rendered and no significant
uncertainty exists regarding the amount of consideration.
Interest Income is recognised on a proportion of time basis taking into account the principal outstanding and the rate applicable.

9. Government grants and grants from other parties
Government grants are recognised when it is reasonable to expect that the grants will be received and that all related conditions
will be met, usually on submission of a valid claim for payment. Government grants in respect of capital expenditure are
credited to the acquisition costs of the respective fixed asset and thus are released as income over the expected useful lives of
the relevant assets. Grants of a revenue nature are credited to income so as to match them with the expenditure to which they
relate.
Grants from other parties are accounted for following the provisions for government grants, if the grants are comparable to
government grants in their nature.
10. Foreign Currency Transactions
Transactions involving foreign currencies are recorded at the exchange rate prevailing on the transaction date. Foreign currency
monetary items are translated at the exchange rate prevailing at the balance sheet date and the gain/loss arising on such
translation is credited / charged to profit and loss account. Premium or discount arising at the inception of a forward exchange
contract is amortised as expense or income over the life of contract.
For the purpose of consolidation, the Company has translated Assets and Liabilities of subsidiaries outside India, whose operations
are classified as non-integral, at the year-end exchange rate and Income and Expenditure items at an average exchange rate
that approximates to the exchange rate prevailing on the date of transaction. The resultant translation adjustment is reflected
as a separate component of Shareholders' funds as "Exchange Reserve on Consolidation".
11. Borrowing Costs
The borrowing costs on funds other than those directly attributable to the acquisition of a qualifying asset i.e. an asset that
necessarily takes a substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use, is charged to revenue in the period in which they
are incurred.
The borrowing costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of qualifying assets are capitalised
as part of the cost of that asset.
12. Leases
Lease rental in respect of assets under operating lease arrangements are charged to expense when due as per the terms of the
related agreement on a straight line basis over the term of lease.
Lease rental in respect of assets under finance lease transactions considered as financing arrangements in accordance with
Accounting Standard 19 - Leases and the leased asset is capitalised at an amount equal to the present value of future lease
payments and a corresponding amount is recognised as a liability. The lease payments made are apportioned between finance
charge and reduction of outstanding liability in relation to leased asset.
In respect of assets leased out under operating lease rental income is recognized as income on accrual basis over the lease term.
13. Taxation
Current Tax
Current tax is provided on the basis of tax payable on estimated taxable income computed in accordance with the applicable
provisions after considering the tax allowances and exemptions.

Deferred Taxes
In accordance with Accounting Standard 22 - ‘Accounting for Taxes on Income’ the deferred tax for timing differences
between the book and tax profits for the year is accounted for using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or
substantially enacted as of the balance sheet date.
Deferred Tax Assets are recognised only to the extent there is reasonable certainty that the assets can be realised in the future;
however, where there is unabsorbed depreciation or carried forward loss under taxation laws, deferred tax assets are recognised
only if there is virtual certainty of realisation of such assets.
Fringe Benefit Tax
Fringe benefit tax is determined based on the liability computed in accordance with relevant tax rates and tax laws.
14. Earnings Per Share (EPS)
The earning considered in ascertaining the Company's EPS comprises the net profit after tax (and includes the post tax effect
of any extra ordinary items) attributable to equity shareholders. The number of shares used in computing Basic EPS is the
weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year. The diluted EPS is calculated on the same basis as basic EPS,
after adjusting for the effect of potential dilutive equity shares.
15. Impairment of assets
Impairment loss, if any, is provided to the extent, the carrying amount of assets exceeds their recoverable amount. Recoverable
amount is higher of an asset's net selling price and its value in use. Value in use is the present value of estimated future cash
flows expected to arise from the continuing use of an asset and from its disposal at the end of its useful life.
16. Provisions and Contingent Liabilities
A provision is recognised when there is a present obligation as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of
resources will be required to settle the obligation and in respect of which reliable estimate can be made. A disclosure for a
contingent liability is made when there is a possible obligation or a present obligation that may, but probably will not, require
an outflow of resources. Where there is a possible obligation or a present obligation in respect of which the likelihood of
outflow of resources is remote, no provision or disclosure is made.
17. Use of Estimates
In the preparation of the financial statements, the management of the Company makes estimates and assumptions in conformity
with the applicable accounting principles in India that affect the reported balances of assets and liabilities and disclosures
relating to contingent assets and liabilities as at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of income and
expenses during the period. Examples of such estimates include provisions for doubtful debts, future obligations under employee
retirement benefit plans, income taxes, the useful lives of fixed assets and intangible assets and estimates for recognising
impairment losses.
These estimates could change from period to period and also the actual results could vary from the estimates. Appropriate
changes are made to the estimates as the management becomes aware of changes in circumstances surrounding these estimates.
The changes in estimates are reflected in the financial statements in the period in which changes are made and, if material,
their effects are disclosed in the notes to the financial statements.

16. Subsequent Events
a) The Board of Directors' in their meeting held on June 29, 2009 have approved the purchase of Minority Interest of
43.87% in its Subsidiary Motherson PUDENZ WICKMANN Limited (MPWL). MPWL has net sales of Rs. 26,389 thousand
and profit after tax of Rs. 4,806 thousand for the year ended March 31, 2009.
b) Subsequent to the year end SMVSL has announced the intended closure of two of its facilities loctated in Germany and
Australia. The estimated cost of such closure, likely to be completed in the current financial year, net of financial supports
receivable is Rs. 236,478 thousand (Euro 3,500 thousand), which is not provided for in these financial statements.
c) On June 1, 2009 General Motors Corp. US Operations filed Chapter 11application. As of March 31, 2009 sundry debtors
of the Company relating to General Motors Corp. and its subsidiaries being affected by Chapter 11application amounted
to Rs. 67,565 thousand approximately (Euro 1,000 thousand) and was paid in its entirety prior to the bankruptcy event.
The Company has assessed the risk of outstanding and unpaid claims with General Motors as of the June 1, 2009 bankruptcy
date of approximately Rs. 74,322 thousand (Euro 1,100 thousand) and believes after considering General Motors expected
exit from bankruptcy, all amounts will be fully recovered. Further, in the event of a prolonged bankruptcy process, as a
deemed "critical supplier" to General Motors Corp., the Company is entitled to preferred status for payment of pre and
post bankruptcy petition claims.

17. The Group is required to comply with the local transfer pricing regulations, which are contemporaneous in nature. The companies
in the Group appoint independent consultants annually for conducting the transfer pricing study to determine whether the
transactions with the associate enterprises are undertaken during the financial year on an arm's length basis. Adjustments, if
any, arising from the transfer pricing study in the respective jurisdiction shall be accounted for as and when the study is
completed for the current financial year. The management is of the opinion that its international transactions are at arm's
length so that aforesaid legislation will not have any impact on the financial statements.
18. The current year figures includes the results of SMVSL which acquired the subsidiaries from Visiocorp Plc. (in administration)
from their date of acquisition (Refer B(4) (b)), hence are not comparable. The corresponding figures of previous year have been
regrouped, rearranged wherever necessary to conform to the current year's classification.
