Coimbatore 10th August 2021 Independent Auditor's Review Report on the Unaudited Standalone Financial Results of the Company for the Quarter ended 30th June 2021
_________________________________________________________________________________
To the Board of Directors Pricol Limited
-
- We have reviewed the accompanying Statement of Unaudited Standalone Financial Results of PRICOL LIMITED ("the Company") for the quarter ended 30th June 2021 ("the Statement"), being submitted by the Company pursuant to the requirements of Regulation 33 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015, as amended.
-
- This 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 recognition and measurement principles laid down in the Indian Accounting Standard 34 – "Interim Financial Reporting" ("Ind AS 34"), prescribed under Section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013 ("the Act") read with relevant rules issued there under and other accounting principles generally accepted in India. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this 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 financial statements are 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. 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.

From the Desk of Managing Director
Commenting on the company's performance, Mr. Vikram Mohan, Managing Director, Pricol Limited said,
*"*We are going through challenging times in the automotive industry thanks to the lockdowns due to the pandemic compounded by acute shortage of electronic components globally which is taking its toll on the company's performance. Nevertheless, with prudent cost control and continual new business wins we are confident of delivering above market growth rates and maintaining the bottom linesin spite of these challenges. Loss ofsales due to potential further lockdowns and shortage of electronic components we believe will continue to impact the automotive industry in India for a few more quarters. But we remain bullish about the mid to long term prospects for our company due to the new business wins especially in the Electric Vehicle (EV) area and growth in market share of the company."
