The Commercial Vehicle industry declined in September-December, 2013 quarter over the corresponding period last year, led by a fall of 31% in the cyclical M &HCV segment and around 27% in the LCV segment.

Auditors Report (Consolidated)

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REVIEW REPORT

TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF

TATA MOTORS LIMITED

 

1. We have reviewed the accompanying Statement of Consolidated Unaudited Financial Results 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 / (loss) of its associates for the Quarter and Nine months ended December 31, 2013 (“the Statement”), being submitted by the Company pursuant to Clause 41 of the Listing Agreements with the Stock Exchanges, except for the disclosures in Part II - Select Information referred to in paragraph 7 below. 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 the Statement 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 misstatements. 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. We did not review the interim financial statements / information of 4 subsidiaries included in the consolidated financial results, whose interim financial statements / information reflect total revenue of Rs.55,117.25 crores and Rs.1,38,505.89 crores for the Quarter and Nine months ended December 31, 2013 respectively, and total profit after tax (net) of Rs.5,749.87 crores and Rs.12,687.61 crores for the Quarter and Nine months ended December 31, 2013, respectively as considered in the consolidated financial results. These interim financial statements / information have been reviewed by other auditors whose reports have been furnished to us by the Management and our report on the Statement, in so far as it relates to the amounts and disclosures included in respect of these subsidiaries is based solely on the reports of the other auditors.

 

4. Based on our review conducted as stated above and based on the consideration of the reports of the other auditors referred to in paragraph 3 above and based on consideration of unaudited interim financial statements / information of subsidiaries, jointly controlled entity and associates referred to in paragraph 6 below, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying Statement, prepared in accordance with the Accounting Standards notified under the Companies Act, 1956 (which continue to be applicable in respect of Section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013 in terms of General Circular 15/2013 dated 13 September 2013 of the Ministry of Corporate Affairs) 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.


Table of Contents
5. Attention is invited to Note 5 in the Statement. As stated in the note, the changes in the actuarial valuation (net) amounting to Rs.764.67 crores (credit) (net of tax) and Rs.1,542.91 crores (debit) (net of tax) for the Quarter and Nine months ended December 31, 2013 respectively have been accounted in “Reserves and Surplus” in respect of a subsidiary company.

Our report is not qualified in respect of this matter.

 

6. The consolidated financial results include the interim financial statements / information of 23 subsidiaries and 1 jointly controlled entity which have not been reviewed / audited by their auditors, whose interim financial statements / information reflect total revenue of Rs.819.75 crores and Rs.2,286.69 crores for the Quarter and Nine months ended December 31, 2013 respectively, and total loss after tax (net) of Rs.90.40 crores and Rs.127.19 crores for the Quarter and Nine months ended December 31, 2013 respectively, as considered in the consolidated financial results. The consolidated financial results also includes the Group’s share of loss after tax (net) of Rs.8.44 crores and Rs.34.99 crores for the Quarter and Nine months ended December 31, 2013 respectively, as considered in the consolidated financial results, in respect of 4 associates, based on their interim financial statements / information which have not been reviewed / audited by their auditors. These interim financial statements / information have been furnished to us by the Management and, our report on the Statement, in so far as it relates to the amounts included in respect of these entities, is based solely on such interim financial statements / information.

Our report is not qualified in respect of this matter.

 

7. 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 promoters and promoter group shareholding in terms of Clause 35 of the Listing Agreements and the particulars relating to investor complaints disclosed in Part II - Select Information for the Quarter and Nine months ended December 31, 2013 of the Statement, from the details furnished by the Management.

Notes:-

 

1) 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 10, 2014.
2) Figures for the previous periods / year have been regrouped / reclassified, wherever necessary.
3) 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 the 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 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.
4) The tax expense is not comparable with the profit before tax, since it is consolidated on a line-by-line addition for each subsidiary company and no tax effect is recorded in respect of consolidation adjustments. This accounting treatment is as per Accounting Standard (AS)-21.
5) During the quarter and nine months ended December 31, 2013, an amount of Rs. 764.67 crores (net of tax) has been credited and Rs. 1,542.91 crores (net of tax) has been debited respectively [Rs. 615.50 crores (net of tax) and Rs. 829.38 crores (net of tax) for the quarter and nine months ended December 31, 2012 have been debited respectively], in “Reserves and Surplus”, representing changes in actuarial valuation of pension plans of a subsidiary company in the UK, in accordance with IFRS principles and permitted by AS 21 in the consolidated financial statements. This treatment is consistent with the accounting principles followed by subsidiary company in UK, under IFRS.
6) During the quarter ended December 31, 2013, TML Holdings Pte Ltd Singapore (TMLHS), a subsidiary of the Company raised USD 500 million Equivalent Multi Currency Loans, due by 2019, for general corporate purposes.
7) During the quarter ended December 31, 2013, Jaguar Land Rover Automotive Plc (JLR), an indirect subsidiary of the Company, issued USD 700 million 4.125% Senior Notes, due 2018. Subsequent to the quarter ended December 31, 2013, JLR further issued GBP 400 million 5.0% Senior Notes, due 2022. The net proceeds from these issues are being utilised to refinance existing debts and for general corporate purposes.

Notes:-

 

1) 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 10, 2014.
2) Figures for the previous periods / year have been regrouped / reclassified wherever necessary.
3) Other income for the quarter and nine months ended December 31, 2013, includes dividends from subsidiary companies of Rs.9.09 crores and Rs.1,555.80 crores, respectively (Rs.9.09 crores and Rs.1,574.49 crores for the quarter and nine months ended December 31, 2012, respectively).
4) The Company is in the process of divesting its investments in certain foreign subsidiary companies to TML Holdings Pte Ltd, Singapore, a wholly owned subsidiary. Consequently, the quarter and nine months ended December 31, 2013, includes a profit of Rs.1,947.90 crores on such divestment.
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 the 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 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.
7) Public shareholding of Ordinary shares as on December 31, 2013 excludes 20.50% (19.74% as on September 30, 2013, 16.68% as on December 31, 2012 and 18.39% as on March 31, 2013) held by Citibank N.A. as Custodian for Depository shares.
