In the domestic market, the commercial vehicles sales for the quarter ended December 31, 2012, stood at 1,38,963 units, driven by the LCV segment, and the Company’s overall market share in commercial vehicles improved sequentially and stood at 62.6% for the quarter.

Of this, the Jaguar volumes for the period stood at 15,043 units and Land Rover volumes at 79,785 units. Growth in volumes is driven by continued strong demand from China and sales of Range Rover Evoque and Freelander.

Operating margin for the quarter ended December 31, 2012, stood at 14.0%, lower than a strong quarter a year ago, reflecting product mix, the ongoing effect of higher marketing costs compared to the low levels experienced in Q3 of the prior year, launch costs of the all-new Range Rover, run out of the earlier Range Rover, and continued growth in product investments and related costs to support future business growth. The Profit Before Tax for the quarter ended December 31, 2012, was GBP 404 million (GBP 509 million in the corresponding quarter last year). Profit After Tax for the quarter is GBP 296 million (GBP 393 million in the corresponding quarter last year).

Continued strong revenue and operating performance were supported by strong demand for our products, favourable market mix and exchange rate environment and was partially offset by the model mix.

Auditors Report (Consolidated)

AUDITORS’ REPORT

TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF

TATA MOTORS LIMITED

 

1.      We have reviewed the accompanying statement of Consolidated Unaudited Financial Results (“the Statement”) of TATA MOTORS LIMITED (“the Company”), its subsidiaries and jointly controlled entities (the Company, its subsidiaries and jointly controlled entities constitute “the Group”) and its share of the profit/losses of the associate companies for the quarter and nine-months ended December 31, 2012. This Statement is the responsibility of the Company’s Management and has been approved by the Board of Directors. Our responsibility is to issue a report on these financial results based on our review.
2.      We conducted our review of the Statement in accordance with the Standard on Review Engagements (SRE) 2410 “Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity”, issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India. This Standard requires that we plan and perform the review to obtain moderate assurance as to whether the Statement is free of material misstatement. A review is limited primarily to inquiries of Company personnel and analytical procedures applied to financial data and thus provides less assurance than an audit. We have not performed an audit and accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
3.      a)      Attention is invited to Note 7 in the Statement. As stated in the note, the changes in the actuarial valuation (net) amounting to Rs.615.50 crores (debit) and Rs.829.38 crores (debit) (both net of tax of Rs.184.80 crores and Rs.175.73 crores) for the quarter and nine-months ended December 31, 2012 respectively, have been accounted in “Reserves and Surplus” in respect of a group of subsidiary companies.
     b)      The Statement reflects the Group’s share of Revenues of Rs.34,347.88 crores and Rs.97,043.94 crores for the quarter and nine months ended December 31, 2012 respectively and the Group’s share of Profit after tax (net) of Rs.2,131.15 crores and Rs.6,929.15 crores for the quarter and nine months ended December 31, 2012 respectively, relating to subsidiaries. Financial statements and other financial information of these subsidiaries have been reviewed by other auditors whose reports have been furnished to us by the Company’s Management, and our report in so far as it relates to the amounts included in respect of these subsidiaries is based solely on the reports of the other auditors.
     c)      The financial statements of eleven subsidiaries and one joint venture which reflect the Group’s share of Revenues of Rs.618.37 crores and Rs.1,741.48 crores for the quarter and nine months ended December 31, 2012 respectively and the Group’s share of Loss after tax (net) of Rs.64.69 crores and Rs.237.14 crores for the quarter and nine months ended December 31, 2012 respectively and the financial statements of four associates which reflect the Group’s share of profit after tax (net) of Rs.5.85 crores for the quarter and the Group’s share of Loss after tax (net) Rs.43.52 crores for the nine months ended December 31, 2012 have not been reviewed by their auditors.


Table of Contents
  4) Based on our review and read with our comments in paragraph 3(a) and 3(b) above and subject to our comments in paragraph 3(c) above, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying Statement, prepared in accordance with the Accounting Standards referred to in Section 211 (3C) of the Companies Act, 1956 and other recognised accounting practices and policies, has not disclosed the information required to be disclosed in terms of Clause 41 of the Listing Agreements with the stock exchanges, including the manner in which it is to be disclosed, or that it contains any material misstatement.

 

  5) Further, we also report that we have traced the number of shares as well as the percentage of shareholding in respect of the aggregate amount of public shareholding and the number of shares as well as the percentage of shares pledged/encumbered and non-encumbered in respect of the aggregate amount of promoter and promoter group shareholding in terms of Clause 35 of the Listing Agreements and the particulars relating to the undisputed investor complaints, from the details furnished by the Management.

In June 2012, the High Court of Calcutta ruled against the validity of the legislation and restored Company’s rights under the land lease agreement. The State Government has filed an appeal in the Supreme Court of India, which is pending disposal.

Notes:-

 

1) Figures for the previous periods / year have been regrouped / reclassified, wherever necessary.
2) Other income for the quarter and nine months ended December 31, 2012, includes dividends from subsidiary companies of Rs.9.09 crores and Rs.1,574.49 crores, respectively (Rs.9.09 crores and Rs.104.74 crores for the quarter and nine months ended December 31, 2011, respectively). Other income for the quarter ended September 30, 2012, included dividends from subsidiary companies of Rs.1,312.13 crores.
3) During the nine months ended December 31, 2012, the Company has allotted:
  (a) 25 Ordinary shares and 26,075 ‘A’ Ordinary shares out of shares held in abeyance; and
  (b) 22,370 Ordinary shares upon conversion of one Convertible Alternative Reference Securities (CARS) due 2012 and 1,62,10,976 Ordinary shares upon conversion of 425, 4% Foreign Currency Convertible Notes (FCCN) due 2014.
4) The Ministry of Corporate Affairs on December 29, 2011, issued a notification amending Accounting Standard (AS) 11- The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates, with effect from April 1, 2011, to extend amortisation period of the exchange differences on long term foreign currency monetary items (other than those relating to acquisition of depreciable capital assets) over the balance period till maturity or March 31, 2020, whichever is earlier. Such exchange differences upto quarter ended September 30, 2011 were amortised till March 31, 2012. Consequent to the change in amortisation period, Rs.208.11 crores had been credited to Profit and Loss Statement in quarter ended December 31, 2011.
5) In October 2008, the Company moved the Nano project from Singur in West Bengal to Sanand in Gujarat. In June 2011, the newly elected Government of West Bengal (State Government) enacted a legislation to cancel land lease agreement. The Company challenged the legal validity of the legislation. In June 2012, the High Court of Calcutta ruled against the validity of the legislation and restored Company’s rights under the land lease agreement. The State Government has filed an appeal in the Supreme Court of India, which is pending disposal. Based on management’s assessment no provision is considered necessary to the carrying cost of buildings at Singur.
6) The Company is engaged mainly in the business of automobile products consisting of all types of commercial and passenger vehicles including financing of the vehicles sold by the Company. These, in the context of Accounting Standard 17 on Segment Reporting, as specified in the Companies (Accounting Standards) Rules, 2006, are considered to constitute one single primary segment.

8) The Statutory Auditors have carried out an audit of the above results stated in Part I (B) and Part II for the quarter / nine months ended December 31, 2012.

The above results have been reviewed by the Audit Committee of the Board and were approved by the Board of Directors at its meeting held on February 14, 2013.
