We report that the consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Companys management in accordance with the requirements of Accounting Standard 21 Consolidated Financial Statements and Accounting Standard 27 Financial Reporting of interest in Joint Ventures, as notified by the Companies (Accounting Standard) Rules, 2006 and on the basis of separate audited financial statements of Sona Koyo Steering Systems Limited and its subsidiaries and joint ventures included in the consolidated financial statements.

Use of Estimates : The preparation of financial statements is in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the year. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Any revision to accounting estimates is recognised prospectively in current and future periods. - Fixed Assets and Depreciation : Fixed Assets are stated at cost of acquisition or construction less accumulated depreciation. Cost comprises of the purchase price, incidental expenses, erection/commissioning expenses and financial charges upto the date the fixed asset is ready for its intended use. The Group provides depreciation on fixed assets on the straight-line method at the rates specified in Schedule XIV to the Companies Act, 1956 on a pro-rata basis from the month in which the asset is put to use, except as stated below: Leasehold improvements are depreciated at the rate of 20% per annum or over the period of lease if less than five years.

The impairment loss recognised in prior accounting period is reversed if there has been a change in the estimate of recoverable amount. - Intangible Assets and Amortization thereof : Intangible assets comprise new product development expenses and computer software and are stated at cost less accumulated amortization and impairment losses, if any. Product development costs incurred including technical fees paid to collaborator for the development of new products for which letters of intent have been received from customers are accumulated & recognised as intangible assets (included under fixed assets) and are amortised over a period of six years. Un-amortized products development fee in respect of models discontinued during the year is fully charged off in Profit & Loss Account.

All assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currency are restated at relevant year end rates.

Provision for warranty account details as required by AS-29 Description Opening Balance Add: Addition During The Year Closing Balance
The warranty expenses of Rs. 121.58 Lacs (Previous Year Rs. 161.68 Lacs) are charged off to Profit & Loss Account included under the head Forwarding Expenses (Schedule 17). 14. Goodwill on consolidation arising on acquisition which was hitherto amortized on straight line basis is now being tested for impairment at each reporting date. Consequently an amount of Rs 22.50 Lacs has not been amortised in the current year's Consolidated Financial Statements. Due to this change, the Consolidated Profit After Tax is higher by Rs. 22.50 Lacs and Goodwill on Consolidation and Reserves & Surplus in the Consolidated Balance Sheet are overstated to that extent. Based on Joint Venture Agreement executed between Sona Koyo Steering Systems Ltd. and Arjan Auto Private Ltd., the valuation of Goodwill/Securities premium has been revalued/recalculated for change in shareholding of Holding Company in earlier years. Prior period adjustment shown in Consolidated Profit & Loss Account relates to rectification of errors in earlier years. Raw Material and components consumed includes purchase of Traded Goods of Rs. 521.40 Lacs (Previous Year Rs. 413.68 Lacs).
