3 Segment Reporting

(a) Based on the “management approach” as defined in Ind AS 108 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. During the quarter ended 30 June 2021, the CODM has evaluated and realigned the composition of the business segments to reflect the changes in the internal organisation structure and accordingly the segment revenue and results have been reclassified for all the reported periods. 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.

  • 4 On 1 July 2020, the Company has completed the acquisition of the HighWire Press US Business at a purchase consideration of INR 5,181 Lacs through its US branch and the newly incorporated wholly owned subsidiary, HighWire North America LLC. This being a Business Combination thus based on the purchase price allocation to the various identifiable acquired assets and assumed liabilities, goodwill of INR 3,423 Lacs has been recognised. The measurement period of goodwill has been closed on 30 June 2021 as per applicable accounting standards. MPS North America LLC, an existing US based wholly owned subsidiary of the Company has also acquired, through Stock Purchase Agreement, 100% shares of HighWire Press Limited, based at Northern Ireland along with its wholly owned subsidiary, Semantico Limited, based at United Kingdom at a purchase consideration of INR 770 Lacs.

  • 5 The Code on Social Security, 2020 (the Code) relating to employee benefits during employment and post-employment benefits has been enacted, which would impact the contributions by the Company towards Provident Fund and Gratuity. The effective date from which the changes are applicable is yet to be notified and rules are yet to be framed. The Company will assess the impact and will give appropriated impact in its financial results in the period in which, the Code becomes effective and the related rules are published.

  • 6 In assessing the recoverability of receivables including unbilled receivables, contract assets, goodwill, intangible assets and investments, the Company has considered internal and external information up to the date of approval of these financial results including economic forecasts considering emerging situations due to COVID-19. Based on current indicators of future economic conditions, the Company expects to recover the carrying amount of these assets. Due to the nature of the pandemic, the Company will continue to monitor developments to identify significant uncertainties in future periods.

Independent Auditor’s Review Report on Standalone Unaudited Quarterly Financial Results of the Company Pursuant to the Regulation 33 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015 (as amended)

To the Board of Directors of MPS Limited

  1. We have reviewed the accompanying statement of standalone unaudited financial results (‘the Statement’) of MPS Limited (‘the Company’) for the quarter ended 30 June 2021, being submitted by the Company pursuant to the requirements of Regulation 33 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015 (as amended), including relevant circulars issued by the SEBI from time to time.

  2. The Statement, which is the responsibility of the Company’s Management and approved by the Company’s Board of Directors, has been prepared in accordance with the recognition and measurement principles laid down in Indian Accounting Standard 34, Interim Financial Reporting (‘Ind AS 34’), prescribed under Section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013 (‘the Act’), and other accounting principles generally accepted in India and is in compliance with the presentation and disclosure requirements of Regulation 33 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015 (as amended), including relevant circulars issued by the SEBI from time to time. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the Statement based on our review.

  3. 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. 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 the Standards on Auditing specified under section 143(10) of the Act, 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.

  4. 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 the recognition and measurement principles laid down in Ind AS 34, prescribed under Section 133 of the Act, and other accounting principles generally accepted in India, has not disclosed the information required to be disclosed in accordance with the requirements of Regulation 33 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015 (as amended), including the manner in which it is to be disclosed, or that it contains any material misstatement.

Independent Auditor’s Review Report on Consolidated Unaudited Quarterly Financial Results of the Company Pursuant to the Regulation 33 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015 (as amended)

To the Board of Directors of MPS Limited

  1. We have reviewed the accompanying statement of unaudited consolidated financial results (‘the Statement’) of MPS Limited (‘the Holding Company’) and its subsidiaries (the Holding Company and its subsidiaries together referred to as ‘the Group’) (refer Annexure 1 for the list of subsidiaries included in the Statement) for the quarter ended 30 June 2021, being submitted by the Holding Company pursuant to the requirements of Regulation 33 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015 (as amended), including relevant circulars issued by the SEBI from time to time.

  2. This Statement, which is the responsibility of the Holding Company’s management and approved by the Holding Company's Board of Directors, has been prepared in accordance with the recognition and measurement principles laid down in Indian Accounting Standard 34, Interim Financial Reporting (‘Ind AS 34’), prescribed under section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013 (‘the Act’), and other accounting principles generally accepted in India and is in compliance with the presentation and disclosure requirements of Regulation 33 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015 (as amended), including relevant circulars issued by the SEBI from time to time. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the Statement based on our review.

  3. 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. 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 the Standards on Auditing specified under section 143(10) of the Act, 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 SEBI Circular CIR/CFD/CMD1/44/2019 dated 29 March 2019 issued by the SEBI under Regulation 33 (8) of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015 (as amended), to the extent applicable.

Independent Auditor’s Review Report on Consolidated Unaudited Quarterly Financial Results of MPS Limited Pursuant to the Regulation 33 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015 (as amended) (cont’d)

  1. Based on our review conducted and procedures performed as stated in paragraph 3 above and upon consideration of the review reports of the other auditors referred to in paragraph 5 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 Ind AS 34, prescribed under Section 133 of the Act, and other accounting principles generally accepted in India, has not disclosed the information required to be disclosed in accordance with the requirements of Regulation 33 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015 (as amended), including the manner in which it is to be disclosed, or that it contains any material misstatement.

  2. We did not review the interim financial results of one subsidiary included in the Statement, whose financial information reflects total revenues of ₹ 491 Lacs, total net profit after tax of ₹ 113 Lacs, total comprehensive income of ₹ 113 Lacs, for the quarter ended on 30 June 2021, as considered in the Statement. These interim financial results have been reviewed by other auditors whose review report has been furnished to us by the management, and our conclusion in so far as it relates to the amounts and disclosures included in respect of this subsidiary is based solely on the review report of such other auditors and the procedures performed by us as stated in paragraph 3 above.

Further, this subsidiary is located outside India, whose interim financial results have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in its respective country and which have been reviewed by other auditors under International Standard on Review Engagement (ISRE) 2410, applicable in its respective country. The Holding Company’s management has converted the financial results of such subsidiary from accounting principles generally accepted in its respective country to accounting principles generally accepted in India. We have reviewed these conversion adjustments made by the Holding Company’s management. Our conclusion, in so far as it relates to the balances and affairs of this subsidiary is based on the review report of other auditors and the conversion adjustments prepared by the management of the Holding Company and reviewed by us.

This presentation contains forward-looking statements, inter-alia, to enable investors to comprehend Company’s prospects and take informed investment decisions. This report and other statements – written and oral – that we periodically make, contain forward-looking statements that set out anticipated results based on the management’s plans and assumptions. We have tried wherever possible to identify such statements by using words as ‘anticipate’, ‘estimate’, ‘expects’, ‘projects’, ‘intends’, ‘plans’, ‘believes’, and words of similar substance in connection with any discussion of future performance. We cannot guarantee that these forward-looking statements will be realized, although we believe we have been prudent in assumptions. The achievement of results is, inter-alia, subject to assumptions, risks, uncertainties, including but not limited to our ability to successfully conclude and integrate (potential) acquisition(s) and general regulatory and economic conditions affecting the industry. Should known or unknown risks or uncertainties materialize or should underlying assumptions prove inaccurate, actual results could vary materially from those anticipated, estimated, expected or projected. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. Further this presentation may also contain references to findings of various reports available in public domain.
