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 six months ended September 30, 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 8 in the Statement. As stated in the note, the changes in the actuarial valuation (net) amounting to Rs.165.83 crores (debit) ( including a tax debit of Rs.23.44 crores) and Rs.213.88 crores (debit) ( including a tax debit of Rs.9.07 crores) for the quarter and six months ended September 30, 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.30,570.59 crores and Rs.62,696.06 crores for the quarter and six months ended September 30, 2012 respectively; Group’s share of Profit after tax (net) of Rs.2,177.31 crores and Rs.4,798 crores for the quarter and six months ended September 30, 2012 respectively, and total assets (net) of Rs.32,149.99 crores as at September 30, 2012 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.550.99 crores and Rs.1,123.11 crores for the quarter and six months ended September 30, 2012 respectively; Group’s share of Loss after tax (net) of Rs.105.57 crores and Rs.172.45 crores for the quarter and six months ended September 30, 2012 respectively; and total assets (net) of Rs.264.46 crores as at September 30, 2012; and the financial statements of four associates which reflect the Group’s share of Loss after tax (net) of Rs.5.44 crores and Rs.49.37 crores for the quarter and six months ended September 30, 2012 respectively have not been reviewed by their auditors.

 

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.

7) 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.
