The Directors recommend that equity shareholders be paid dividend of Rs. 3.50 per share for the year, inclusive of Rs.1.50 per share Interim dividend already paid. The equity dividend alongwith dividend tax would absorb Rs. 91.01 Million against Rs. 91.15 Million last year. An amount of Rs. 748.11 Million is being transferred to General Reserve Account. The demand in domestic market increased both for OEMs and in the After market. Accordingly, Companys production and sales of all products increased during the year.

Gross profit increased by 6% over the last year from Rs. 1758 Million to Rs. 1859 Million. Increase in raw material rates, more particularly Aluminum, Alloy Steel, Pig Iron and Silicon, increase in cost of own power generation due to hike in diesel cost, hike in Entry Tax on steel in U.P. and startup cost in the new plant at Pathredi had an adverse effect on the profits of the Company. However, despite these and several other adverse factors, company increased the gross profit due to focused management efforts on the optimum utilization of production capacity, cost and waste reduction and higher productivity. In view of continuous upgradation of automotive engines and stricter emission norms, technology remains the key differentiator for our products.

ANNEXURE II TO DIRECTORS REPORT


REPORT ON MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
1. Industry Structure and Development Production of all segments of vehicles except cars registered high growth during the year. Production of Heavy Commercial Vehicles grew by 9%, Light commercial vehicles by 19% and Small Commercial Vehicles by 35% during the year. Production of cars registered a low growth of 4% while production of Motorcycles grew by 16%. The Tractor segment witnessed growth of 21% on the strength of good agricultural performance. Lower growth in car segment was primarily due to strained industrial relations at one of the leading car manufacturers and also due to natural calamities in Japan/Thailand which affected the import of components and production of passenger vehicles of some OEMs. Opportunities & Threats Opportunities Overall growth rate of about 10-12% is expected in the automobile sector in India, during the financial year 2012-13. Growth in Small and Light commercial vehicles is expected to be much higher, in the range of 15-20% but lower growth is expected for Heavy commercial vehicles due to moderation in GDP growth, higher interest cost and an uninspiring sentiment about prospects of industrial growth in the year. Increase in disposable income and infrastructural facilities in rural areas and small cities are expected to have a positive impact on sale of Two-Wheelers, Tractors and Stationary Engines, although the growth rates are expected to be modest. The Company has presence in all market segments i.e. OEMs and After market, both in domestic and export markets. Further, the Company has presence across all vehicle segments i.e. Commercial Vehicles, Cars, Two Wheelers, Tractors and Stationary engines. Also, company has invested to make production lines as flexible as is reasonably possible. Therefore, the Company will be able to take advantage of growth in demand across various vehicle and customer segments. The company is targeting to achieve substantially higher growth rate than industry growth in 2012-13, based on new business acquired from key customers. Production facilities in the second plant at Pathredi are being further enhanced to meet higher demand. Threats Trend of rising prices of raw materials and consumables is a cause of concern for the Company. This is further compounded by the general inflationary pressure on all costs, including higher cost of power generation and personnel cost. Competition from low cost producing countries may affect the margins. Higher interest and depreciation cost owing to higher capital expenditure could affect the profits of the Company, if the anticipated growth in business does not materialize. Adverse and volatile exchange rates led to higher cost of imports in the year under review. This may impact profits of the Company in 2012-13 also. The Company is taking all possible steps to reduce cost by improving productivity, to offset the impact of increase in cost of Raw materials, Power, Consumables etc. Concept of green motoring is taking off globally, with the adoption of hybrid and full electric vehicles. Such trend may eventually come to India and impact the usage of Internal Combustion engines, possibly in the next ten years. Segment-wise performance The Company deals principally in only one segment i.e. automotive components. Therefore, segment-wise performance is not applicable. Outlook Slow pace of economic reforms leading to inadequate growth in infrastructure and high inflation/ interest rates continue to adversely impact the outlook of the industry. Government intervention is required to improve infrastructure which would also help in becoming more cost competitive for sustainable growth of exports. Price increase of raw materials more particularly, Aluminum, Alloy Steel, Pig Iron and Silicon may cause an adverse impact on operating margins. Risk & Concerns This year, lower growth in passenger vehicle segment due to macro-economic factors such as increase in the cost of fuel and interest created negative sentiments in the mind of growing and aspirational middle class population of the country and may have an impact in 2012-13 too. Customers, particularly OEMs continue to demand lower prices in spite of increasing costs; retaining current operating margins is a management challenge. Availability of trained manpower and retention is another major challenge for the Company. Internal Control Systems & their adequacy The Company has proper and adequate system of internal controls, which provide reasonable assurance regarding all financial and operating functions and compliance with statutory provisions. The Company has an internal audit section besides an external firm which is carrying out internal audits. The internal auditors reports are regularly reviewed by Senior Management and Audit Committee of the Board for its implementation and effectiveness. The Company endeavors to constantly upgrade internal controls and periodic evaluation of the same is being undertaken. Company has in place a system to periodically assess various risks and its likelihood and an action plan to pro-actively mitigate the impact of various risks. Financial/Operational performance Net sales of the Company during the year ended 31st March, 2012 were Rs. 9732 Million (growth of 19% over last year).

Net profit (PAT) of the Company during the year ended 31st March, 2012 was Rs. 839 Million (increase of 1.5% over last year), primarily due to higher depreciation of new plant. Earnings per share increased from Rs. 36.96 in 2010-11 to Rs. 37.50 in 2011-12. Human Resources / Industrial Relations The Management considers people as its key resource and provides development opportunities through various training and welfare programs for employees and their families. Continuous steps are undertaken for maintaining excellent industrial relations. Dignity, fairness, transparency, respect and opportunity for growth for all employees are the key values of the Company and these are being continuously reinforced. Cautionary Statement Statements in the Management Discussion and Analysis describing the Companys objectives, projections, estimates, expectations may be forward looking statements within the meaning of applicable securities laws and regulations. Actual results could differ materially from those expressed or implied. Important factors that could make a difference to the Companys operations include, among others, economic conditions affecting demand/supply and price conditions in the domestic and overseas markets in which the Company operates, changes in the Government regulations, tax laws and other statutes and incidental factors.

During the year ended March 31, 2012, the revised schedule VI notified under the Companies Act, 1956, has become applicable to the Company, for preparation and presentation of its financial statements. The adoption of revised schedule VI does not impact recognition and measurement principles followed for preparation of financial statements. However, it has significant impact on presentation and disclosures made in the financial statements. The Company has also reclassified the previous year figures in accordance with the requirements applicable in the current year. 3. Use of estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported balances of assets and liabilities and the disclosure relating to contingent liabilities as at the date of financial statements and reported amount of income and expenses during the period. Difference between the actual results and estimates are recognised in the year in which the results are known or materialized. 4. Significant accounting policies a. Revenue recognition Revenue from sale of goods is recognised when significant risks and rewards in respect of ownership of the goods are transferred to the customer and is stated inclusive of excise duty and net of trade discounts, sales return and sales tax / VAT, wherever applicable. Other revenues are recognised on accrual basis, except where there are uncertainties in the determination / realisation of income, the same is not accounted for. b. Fixed assets Fixed Assets are stated at their original cost (net of cenvat availed) including taxes and other incidental expenses related to acquisition, installation and borrowing cost on loan taken for the acquisition of qualifying assets upto the date of commissioning of assets. Wherever assets are revalued, cost is adjusted by the amount added on revaluation based on Govt. approved valuers report and disclosed separately as required under the Companies Act, 1956. Capital work-in-progress represents expenditure incurred in respect of capital projects under development and are carried at cost. Cost includes related acquisition expenses, development/ construction costs, borrowing costs and other direct expenditure. c. Depreciation and amortisation Depreciation is provided on Fixed Assets over their estimated useful lives or lives based on the rates specified in Schedule XIV to the Companies Act, 1956, whichever is lower, on the following basis : Furniture, fixtures and office equipments - W.D.V method Other assets - Straight line method Lease money paid for leasehold land is amortised over the lease period. Where assets are revalued, depreciation is charged on the revalued amount based on remaining useful life of the asset specified by the valuer provided depreciation on such block of assets is not lower than depreciation chargeable on historical cost as per the Companies Act, 1956. Where there is a revision of the estimated useful life of asset, the unamortised depreciable amount is charged over the revised remaining useful life. Depreciation on assets acquired/sold/discarded during the year is charged on pro-rata basis except for Furniture, Fixtures and Equipments where full years depreciation is computed in the year of acquisition and no depreciation is provided in the year of sale. Assets costing upto Rs. 5,000 is fully depreciated in the year of acquisition. Intangible assets are amortised on straight-line basis. d. Investments Long term investments are stated at cost. Any diminution in the value of Long term Investments, other than temporary, is provided for in the books of account. Current investments are stated at lower of the cost or fair value. e. Inventories Inventories are valued on the following basis : i) Raw materials and components - at lower of cost determined on weighted average basis or net realisable value. ii) Stock in process at lower of cost or net realisable value. iii) Finished goods stock - at lower of cost including excise duty or net realisable value. Cost of finished goods and stock-in-process includes cost of material, labour and related overheads. f. Foreign currency transactions Transactions in foreign currency are recorded on initial recognition at the exchange rate prevailing on or closely approximating to the date of transaction.

Notes to financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2012
Monetary items denominated in foreign currency and covered by forward exchange contracts are translated at the rate ruling on the date of transaction as increased or decreased by the proportionate difference between the forward rate and exchange rate on the date of transaction, such difference is recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss over the life of the contract. Other monetary items are translated at the year end rates and exchange rate difference on such translation is recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss. The Company uses foreign exchange forward contracts to hedge its exposure to movements in foreign exchange rates which are entered into on the basis of firm commitments and highly probable forecast transactions. The premium or discount arising at the inception of such forward exchange contracts are amortised as expense or income over the life of the contract. Exchange differences on such a contract are recognised in the statement of profit and loss in the reporting period in which the exchange rates change. Any profit or loss arising on cancellation or renewal of such a forward exchange contract is recognized as income or as expense in the period in which same is cancelled or rolled over. Employee benefits Contribution towards Provident Fund and Superannuation fund is paid as per the statutory provisions/company scheme. These benefits are considered as defined contribution plan and contributions are charged to the Statement of Profit and Loss of the year when it becomes due. Retirement benefit in the form of gratuity is considered as defined benefit plan. The liability is determined using projected unit credit method, with actuarial valuation being carried out at each balance sheet date. Actuarial gains and losses are recognised in the statement of profit and loss in the period in which they arise. Leave encashment benefit is provided as per Company scheme. Employees are entitled to accumulate leaves subject to certain limits as per Company scheme. The liability for unutilised leave at the year end is determined through an actuarial valuation using projected unit credit method. Research and development Revenue expenditure on research and development, inclusive of dies for model development, is charged as expense in the year in which incurred. Capital expenditure is included in fixed assets. Leases Lease rentals in respect of assets taken on operating lease are charged to the Statement of Profit and Loss on a straight-line basis over the term of lease. Assets acquired on finance lease which transfer risk and rewards of ownership to the Company are capitalised as assets by the Company at the lower of fair value of the leased property or the present value of the related lease payments or where applicable, estimated fair value of such assets. Amortisation of capitalised leased assets is computed on the straight line method over the useful life of the assets. Lease rental payable is apportioned between principal and finance charge using the internal rate of return method. The finance charge is allocated over the lease term so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of liability. Taxes on income Tax expense comprises current income tax and deferred income tax. Current tax is determined as the amount of tax payable in respect of taxable income for the year, in accordance with the Income Tax Act, 1961. Deferred income tax reflects the impact of current year timing differences between taxable income and accounting income for the year and reversal of timing differences of earlier years. Deferred tax is measured based on the tax rates and the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date. Deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that there is reasonable/virtual certainty, depending on the nature of the timing differences, that sufficient future taxable income will be available against which such deferred tax assets can be realised. Borrowing costs Borrowing costs that are attributable to the acquisition or construction of qualifying assets are considered as part of the cost of such assets. A qualifying asset is one that necessarily takes substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use. All other borrowing costs are charged to the Statement of Profit and Loss as and when incurred. Earnings per share Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing net profit or loss for the year attributable to equity shareholders by weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the year. The weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the year is adjusted for events of bonus issue, share split and any new equity issue. For the purpose of calculating diluted earnings per share, the net profit or loss for the year attributable to equity shareholders and the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year are adjusted for the effects of all dilutive potential equity shares. Impairment of assets The Company assesses at each balance sheet date whether there is any indication that an asset may be impaired. If any such indication exists, the Company estimates the recoverable amount of the asset. If such recoverable amount of the asset or the recoverable amount of the cash generating unit to which the asset belongs is less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount is reduced to its recoverable amount. The reduction is treated as an impairment loss and is recognised in the statement of profit and loss. If at the balance sheet date there is an indication that previously assessed impairment loss no longer exists, the recoverable amount is reassessed and the asset is reflected at the recoverable amount subject to a maximum of depreciated historical cost. Contingent liabilities and provisions The company recognizes a provision when there is a present obligation as a result of past events and it is probable that an outflow of resources would be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made. A disclosure for a contingent liability is made when there is a possible obligation or a present obligation but probably will not require an outflow of resources. When there is a possible obligation or a present obligation in respect of which the likelihood on outflow of resources is remote, no provision or disclosure is made.

Notes to consolidated financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2012
1. Principles of consolidation The consolidated financial statements includes the financial statements of Shriram Pistons & Rings Ltd. ("Parent Company"), the parent company and its subsidiary, SPR International Auto Exports Ltd., incorporated in India, in which the Parent Company holds 100% of its share capital (collectively referred to as the group). The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Accounting Standard (AS 21), Consolidated Financial Statements referred to in the Companies Accounting Standards Rules, 2006 issued by the Central Government. 2. Basis of preparation The financial statements are prepared on accrual basis under the historical cost convention as supplemented by the revaluation of certain assets, in accordance with the generally accepted accounting principles in India and to comply with the Accounting Standards referred to in sub section (3C) of section 211 of the Companies Act, 1956 including the Rules framed there under. During the year ended March 31, 2012, the revised schedule VI notified under the Companies Act, 1956, has become applicable to the Group for preparation and presentation of its financial statements. The adoption of revised schedule VI does not impact recognition and measurement principles followed for preparation of financial statements. However, it has significant impact on presentation and disclosures made in the financial statements. The Company has also reclassified the previous year figures in accordance with the requirements applicable in the current year. 3. Use of estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported balances of assets and liabilities and the disclosure relating to contingent liabilities as at the date of financial statements and reported amount of income and expenses during the period. Difference between the actual results and estimates are recognised in the year in which the results are known or materialized. 4. Significant accounting policies a. Revenue recognition Revenue from sale of goods is recognised when significant risks and rewards in respect of ownership of the goods are transferred to the customer and is stated inclusive of excise duty and net of trade discounts, sales return and sales tax / VAT, wherever applicable. Other revenues are recognised on accrual basis, except where there are uncertainties in the determination / realisation of income, the same is not accounted for. b. Fixed assets Fixed Assets are stated at their original cost (net of cenvat availed) including taxes and other incidental expenses related to acquisition, installation and borrowing cost on loan taken for the acquisition of qualifying assets upto the date of commissioning of assets. Wherever assets are revalued, cost is adjusted by the amount added on revaluation based on Govt. approved valuers report and disclosed separately as required under the Companies Act, 1956. Capital work-in-progress represents expenditure incurred in respect of capital projects under development and are carried at cost. Cost includes related acquisition expenses, development/ construction costs, borrowing costs and other direct expenditure. c. Depreciation and amortisation Depreciation is provided on Fixed Assets over their estimated useful lives or lives based on the rates specified in Schedule XIV to the Companies Act, 1956, whichever is lower, on the following basis : Furniture, fixtures and office equipments - W.D.V method Other assets - Straight line method Lease money paid for leasehold land is amortised over the lease period. Where assets are revalued, depreciation is charged on the revalued amount based on remaining useful life of the asset specified by the valuer provided depreciation on such block of assets is not lower than depreciation chargeable on historical cost as per the Companies Act, 1956. Where there is a revision of the estimated useful life of asset, the unamortised depreciable amount is charged over the revised remaining useful life.

I. Leases Lease rentals in respect of assets taken on operating lease are charged to the Statement of Profit and Loss on a straight-line basis over the term of lease. Assets acquired on finance lease which transfer risk and rewards of ownership to the Group are capitalised as assets by the Group at the lower of fair value of the leased property or the present value of the related lease payments or where applicable, estimated fair value of such assets. Amortisation of capitalised leased assets is computed on the straight line method over the useful life of the assets. Lease rental payable is apportioned between principal and finance charge using the internal rate of return method. The finance charge is allocated over the lease term so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of liability. j. Taxes on income Tax expense comprises current income tax and deferred income tax. Current tax is determined as the amount of tax payable in respect of taxable income for the year, in accordance with the Income Tax Act, 1961. Deferred income tax reflects the impact of current year timing differences between taxable income and accounting income for the year and reversal of timing differences of earlier years. Deferred tax is measured based on the tax rates and the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date. Deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that there is reasonable/virtual certainty, depending on the nature of the timing differences, that sufficient future taxable income will be available against which such deferred tax assets can be realised. k. Borrowing costs Borrowing costs that are attributable to the acquisition or construction of qualifying assets are considered as part of the cost of such assets. A qualifying asset is one that necessarily takes substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use. All other borrowing costs are charged to the Statement of Profit and Loss as and when incurred. l. Earnings per share Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing net profit or loss for the year attributable to equity shareholders by weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the year. The weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the year is adjusted for events of bonus issue, share split and any new equity issue. For the purpose of calculating diluted earnings per share, the net profit or loss for the year attributable to equity shareholders and the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year are adjusted for the effects of all dilutive potential equity shares. m. Impairment of assets The Group assesses at each balance sheet date whether there is any indication that an asset may be impaired. If any such indication exists, the Group estimates the recoverable amount of the asset. If such recoverable amount of the asset or the recoverable amount of the cash generating unit to which the asset belongs is less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount is reduced to its recoverable amount. The reduction is treated as an impairment loss and is recognised in the statement of profit and loss. If at the balance sheet date there is an indication that previously assessed impairment loss no longer exists, the recoverable amount is reassessed and the asset is reflected at the recoverable amount subject to a maximum of depreciated historical cost. n. Contingent liabilities and provisions The Group recognizes a provision when there is a present obligation as a result of past events and it is probable that an outflow of resources would be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made. A disclosure for a contingent liability is made when there is a possible obligation or a present obligation but probably will not require an outflow of resources. When there is a possible obligation or a present obligation in respect of which the likelihood on outflow of resources is remote, no provision or disclosure is made.
