Board of Directors ofMPS Limited
- I. We have reviewed the accompanying Statement of unaudited standalone financial results of MPS Limited ("the Company") for the quarter ended 30 September 2019 and year to date results for the period from 01 April2019 to 30 September 2019. ("the Statement").
-
- This Statement, which is the responsibility of the Company's management and approved by the Board of Directors, has been prepared in accordance with the recognition and measurement principles laid down in Indian Accounting Standard 34 "Interim Financial Reporting' ("lnd AS 34"), prescribed under Section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013, and other accounting principles generally accepted in India and in compliance with Regulation 33 of the Listing Regulations. Our responsibility is to issue a report on the Statement based on our review.
-
- 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.
-
- Based on our review conducted as above, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying Statement, prepared in accordance with applicable accounting standards and other recognised accounting practices and policies has not disclosed the information required to be disclosed in terms of Regulation 33 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015 including the manner in which it is to be disclosed, or that it contains any material misstatement.

2 Segment Reporting
(a) Based on the "management approach" as defined in Ind AS108 Operating Segments, the Chief Operating Decision Maker ('CODM') evaluates the Company's performance and allocates resources based on an analysis of various performance indicators by business segments. Accordingly, information has been presented along with these business segments. The accounting principles used in the preparation of the financial statements are consistently applied to record revenue and expenditure in individual segments.

(b) Assets and liabilities used in the Company's business are not identified to any of the reportable segments, as these are used interchangeably between segments and the management believes that it is not practicable to provide segment disclosures relating to total assets and liabilities.
3 Effective 1 April 2019, the Company adopted Ind AS 116 "Leases", applied to all lease contracts existing on 1 April 2019 using the modified retrospective method and has taken the cumulative adjustment to retained earnings, on the date of initial application. Accordingly, comparatives for the year ended 31 March 2019 have not been retrospectively adjusted. On transition, the adoption of the new standard resulted in recognition of Right-of-use asset (ROU) of INR 1,077 Lacs and a lease liability of INR 1,365 Lacs. The cumulative effect of applying the standard resulted in INR 205 Lacs being debited to retained earnings, net of taxes. The effect of this adoption is not material on the profit for the period and earnings per share.
4 The Board of Directors, in their meeting held on 17 May 2019 had recommended a final dividend of INR 25 per equity share (face value of INR 10 per share) for the financial year 2018-19. This was approved in the Annual General Meeting of the Company held on 24 July 2019 and paid during the quarter ended 30 September 2019.

We have reviewed the accompanying Statement of unaudited consolidated financial results ofMPS Limited ("the Parent") and its subsidiaries (the Parent and its subsidiaries together referred to as "the Group"), for the quarter ended 30 September 2019 and year to date results for the period from 1 April 2019 to 30 September 2019 ("the Statement"), being submitted by the Parent pursuant to the requirements of Regulation 33 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015, as amended ('Listing Regulations').
-
- This Statement, which is the responsibility of the Parent's management and approved by the Parent's Board ofDirectors, has been prepared in accordance with the recognition and measurement principles laid down in Indian Accounting Standard 34 "Interim Financial Reporting" ("lnd AS 34"), prescribed under Section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013, and other accounting principles generally accepted in India and in compliance with Regulation 33 of the Listing Regulations. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the Statement based on our review.
-
- 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 oflndia. A review of interim financial information consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Standards on Auditing and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
We also performed procedures in accordance with the circular issued by the SEBI under Regulation 33 (8) of the Listing Regulations, to the extent applicable.
-
- The Statement includes the results of the following entities:
- MPS Limited
- MPS Interactive Systems Limited
- MPS NA LLC
- TOPSIM GmbH
- MPS Europa AG
-
- Based on our review conducted and procedures performed as stated in paragraph 3 above and other auditors 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 recognition and measurement principles laid down in the aforesaid Indian Accounting Standard and other accounting principles generally accepted in India, has not disclosed the information required to be disclosed in terms of Regulation 33 of the Listing Regulations, including the manner in which it is to be disclosed, or that it contains any material misstatement.

(7.71) lacs for the period from 01 April 2019 to 30 September 2019, as considered in the consolidated unaudited financial results. These financial information have been reviewed by other auditors whose reports have been furnished to us by the management and our conclusion 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 and the procedures performed by us as stated in paragraph 3 above.
Our conclusion on the Statement is not modified in respect of the above matters.

(b) Assets and liabilities used in the Group's business are not identified to any of the reportable segments, as these are used interchangeably between segments and the management believes that it is not practicable to provide segment disclosures relating to total assets and liabilities.
3 Effective 1 April 2019, the Group adopted Ind AS 116 "Leases", applied to all lease contracts existing on 1 April 2019 using the modified retrospective method and has taken the cumulative adjustment to retained earnings, on the date of initial application. Accordingly, comparatives for the year ended 31 March 2019 have not been retrospectively adjusted. On transition, the adoption of the new standard resulted in recognition of Right-of-use asset (ROU) of INR 2,002 Lacs and a lease liability of INR 2,319 Lacs. The cumulative effect of applying the standard resulted in INR 225 Lacs being debited to retained earnings, net of taxes. The effect of this adoption is not material on the profit for the period and earnings per share.
4 The Board of Directors, in their meeting held on 17 May 2019 had recommended a final dividend of INR 25 per equity share (face value of INR 10 per share) for the financial year 2018-19. This was approved in the Annual General Meeting of the Company held on 24 July 2019 and paid during the quarter ended 30 September 2019.
