History The history goes back to 1879 when Josef Rotter built a plant for the production of lighting systems for the automotive industry from a small workshop in Nový Jičín. The Company was brought to public awareness by the name Autopal, national enterprise. At that time, it was one of the largest companies in the Czech Republic. In 1993, Autopal was acquired by an owner of a global significance - Ford Motor Company. The Company was experiencing a major boom thanks to considerable investments in innovation in production technologies, research and development. This was followed by era of the Visteon brand, which was equally successful. Today, under the name Varroc Lighting Systems, s.r.o., the Company plays a leading role on the market of lighting technology for the automotive industry and represents Varroc Group worldwide as the global Centre of Excellence. Milestones Year 1879 From a small workshop in Nový Jičín Josef Rotter built a plant to produce lighting systems for the automotive industry under the brand Joro. Year 1950 Joro was renamed to Autopal, national enterprise. Year 1993 Autopal, national enterprise was bought by an American Company Ford Motor. Year 2000 Autopal became a part of Visteon Corporation. Year 2012 Lighting technology division of Visteon was acquired by Varroc Group and Varroc Lighting Systems, a Company with a new identity was established. Company’s profile The Company is a part of the international Varroc Group ("the Group"), which is owned by the Indian capital and acts as a global producer of components for the automotive market and the market for two-wheeled vehicles. On 1 August 2012, Varroc Group acquired the lighting technology division of Visteon Corporation and the new division operates as Varroc Lighting Systems, with the ultimate parent Company Varroc Engineering Private Limited, incorporated in India. Varroc Group with more than 5,000 employees operates its operations in America, Europe and Asia and it is building a new plant in Morocco. International structure of production plants prepared conditions for the planned growth of the Group in the next few years. Worldwide strategy of Varroc Lighting Systems is built upon capable engineering teams. The strengthening of the global market position relies on them. Varroc Group operates six engineering centres around the world. The largest one, Global Centre for Research and Development, is located in Šenov u Nového Jičína and another one is in Ostrava. The centre plays the role of "a global centre of excellence" within the Varroc Lighting Systems division, and represents the key area of concentrated research and development for the entire Group.

Varroc Lighting Systems, s.r.o. located in the Czech Republic is the largest Company in the entire Varroc Lighting Systems multinational division by the number of employees and production volume. The Company is a respected business with a strong tradition in the field, with a history of over 130 years. It belongs to major employers in the Moravian-Silesian region as well as in the Czech Republic. Varroc Lighting Systems, s.r.o. develops, produces and supplies lighting technology to the world’s leading car manufacturers including premium brands. The Company is constantly working on strong relationships with existing customers, and actively participating in international conferences and technical presentations it also strives to create new relationships. Customer satisfaction is the motivation for development and production of lights with impressive design and timeless technologies. Varroc Lighting Systems, s.r.o. comprises of production plants in Šenov u Nového Jičína and Rychvald, a tool room and two development centres in Šenov u Nového Jičína and Ostrava. It has two subsidiaries – Varroc Lighting Systems Inc. in the U.S. (100% of shares), Varroc Lighting Systems GmbH in Germany (100% of shares). Our customers are world leading automobile manufacturers. Brands such as Audi, Bentley, Buick, Cadillac, Citroën, Dodge, Eicher, Ford, GM, Haima, Chery, Chevrolet, Chrysler, Jaguar, Land Rover, Lincoln, Mahindra, Mercedes, Nissan, Opel, Peugeot, Škoda, Tata, Tesla, Volkswagen, Volvo and others are part of the Varroc Group customer portfolio. Foreword of Vice President Todd C. Morgan Dear Business Partners, Growth remains a key focus at Varroc Lighting Systems, and we have successfully completed one of the largest years for new business wins in our history. This is driven not only by new innovative technologies that we are bringing to the market, but also in adding new customers to our portfolio. With the announcement of the new plants being established in Morocco and Brazil, we have gained additional access to new markets, and customers have awarded an increased amount of business into our facilities in the Czech Republic. Our competitive advantage of having development, manufacturing and a tool shop within our scope of capabilities continues to play a major role in our growth achievements. Delivering a quality product at a competitive cost remains a mandatory requirement from our customers and we continue to exceed our customer’s expectations in this area as well. Our operations in Senov u Noveho Jicina and Rychvald have faced a significant challenge to deliver on major launches with all of our key customers this past year. Launching our first ever headlamps with matrix and LASER technology was a key milestone for Varroc Lighting Systems to continue our growth into the premium vehicle segment, with state of the art, and leading edge technology. Supporting our growth targets while making the most effective use of our capital investments require a close collaboration with our supply base. In addition, key suppliers are an important element in developing new innovative technologies and processes. A new expansion was completed in Rychvald allowing additional manufacturing capacity. Plans are in place for further expansions in both Senov u Noveho Jicina and Rychvald in the coming year. Our tool room has refocused its expertise to build tools for more specialized and proprietary processes and components to maintain its competitive advantage, and has made strategic investments in those chosen fields. In product development, the focus on the expansion of our engineering capability and capacity continues to be a priority for Varroc Lighting Systems. New expanded offices in Ostrava have allowed us to add electronics capability into our office in Ostrava, in addition to the Electronic Development Center that was opened last year in Novy Jicin. LED technology continues to be cascaded into every vehicle segment, and this continues to put pressure on us to expand our development capacity in electronics. Innovations in signal lighting are also progressed rapidly, including the introduction of Surface-LED, which is a cost effective and more reliable alternative to OLED technology.

Looking forward, bringing innovation to the mainsteam market remains a key strategic focus for Varroc Lighting Systems. This can only be achieved by listening to our customers’ requirements, reacting quickly and ensuring a close collaboration between our engineering, manufacturing and toolshop teams. It is critical for us to maintain and grow a highly motivated and talented workforce, and ensure that we offer a safe and healthy environment for them to work in. Our talented and highly capable teams are indeed the formula for success not only this past year, but also for many years to come. Products development, production and quality Research and application development Our products at Varroc Lighting Systems continue to become increasingly complex to keep up with the increasing demands from our customers in terms of performance and design. Electronic content is typically the largest portion of the cost of our lighting products today and therefore we continue in investing into new equipment, test facilities and people in this field. Software is also becoming a more significant element in the development of lighting products with the new requirements for personalization and animation headlamps and rear lamps. New signal lighting innovations, like Surface-LED, which allow our customers to achieve an appearance similar to OLED technology at a much lower cost and improved reliability, has gained significant customer interest. The successful launch of LASER and Matrix headlamps, which provide unparalleled visibility and safety for the driver, was a major milestone for Varroc Lighting Systems. This required close collaboration with our advanced core applications and electronic teams during the development and new innovative processes from our manufacturing teams. Engineering capabilities are still very important for Varroc, and the new expansion of our office in Ostrava has been another step forward in this area. In Nový Jičín, there is now an extensive reconstruction of the main administrative building, which will provide our employees with new modern offices. Close cooperation with several universities and business partners is an important element in attracting and retaining key talents in our organization. The opening of new development centres in Krakow, Poland, which will require close cooperation and support from our global centre of excellence in the Czech Republic, will allow us to increase our capacity at a rapid pace. In addition, it will offer our employees, at the time when our organizations are rapidly expanding, new job opportunities and the ability to travel and work on new global projects. Production Production technology and product portfolio of Varroc Lighting Systems is appreciated by customers throughout the world for its superior design and first-class quality. Produced headlamps and reflectors are used by the end customers often in extreme conditions. During the final control, maximum attention is devoted to thorough examination of all functional parameters (leaks, electrical and optical functions) as well as visual defects. Compliance with all relevant international standards and requirements of customers is the foundation of all internal and external activities of the Company. The deciding factor of the customer satisfaction is the quality of the products. Production of headlamps and rear lamps at Varroc Lighting Systems includes: Serial production (injection moulding, surface processing, final product assembly). Design and production of tools. Servicing and spare parts. The role of the tool room starts before the production itself. The main activities include:

Design and production of moulds for injection moulding. Design and production of progressive tools (Fe, stainless steel, Al). Design and production of measuring equipment.

Products development and production in the reporting period Products development – plant in Šenov u Nového Jičína This year, there was a significant number of newly launched projects. There was the introduction of 13 new programs across almost all customer groups (Ford, PSA, Škoda, JLR). All programs have been successfully deployed and deliveries to customers began as contracted. The growth in production and sales has resulted in an increase of the number of production workers to almost 2000. Concerning the labour market situation in the Czech Republic, we have established a cooperation with an agency that provides Polish workers, who are currently a significant part of the manufacturing staff. We are continually striving to improve the working environment for employees. Additional heat recovery units have been installed in the hall of the rear lamps to ensure a more stable temperature especially during the summer months. There was a complete replacement of the bridge crane in the hall of the headlights with a tonnage of 25 tons and the adjustment of the asphalt surfaces in the premises of the plant. Throughout the year, the company has been preparing a move to a new IATF 16949 standard in order to meet customer requirements and prepare for further new projects that will follow next year. Products development - plant in Rychvald Current financial year was a year of great growth. We introduced 4 headlamps (Bentley 634/5, Jaguar X540 and Land Rover L405 and L494). Thanks to this increase in production, our sales grew by almost 20%. The top-of-the-line L405 / 494 headlights feature built-in laser and matrix technology that were used within the VLS for the first time. Another major event was the completion of the MG hall. In this hall with an area of more than 5,000 square meters, we will produce headlights for customers Renault, VW and Škoda. Thanks to expanding production, we had to rent storage spaces outside of our plant. Overall, we can consider the fiscal year to be successful. The most significant customers include Land Rover, Jaguar, Ford, PSA and Bentley. Varroc Lighting Systems and safety and environmental protection Varroc Lighting Systems is committed to ensuring a safe and healthy work environment and protecting and preserving the environment. These basic values are included in all of our manufacturing operations, products and services. It expresses our obligation to be a responsible member of society.

2. Accounting policies 2.1 Basis of preparation The consolidated financial statements of the Group are prepared for the year ended 31 March 2018 pursuant to the Act on Accounting, Regulation No. 500/2002 Coll. and with Czech accounting standard No. 20, which outline procedures for preparation of consolidated financial statements. 2.2 Consolidation method Direct consolidation has been applied under the provisions of Regulation No. 500/2002 Coll. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated. Intercompany receivables, liabilities, income and expenses are fully eliminated. The financial statements of all companies included in the consolidation have been prepared for period ended 31 March 2018. For the purposes of consolidation, significant accounting policies within the Consolidation Unit have been unified. These accounting policies, as used by individual companies, are described below. 2.3 General principles for preparation of consolidated financial statements Amounts in the consolidated financial statements and notes are presented in thousands of Czech crowns, unless stated otherwise. The actual implementation of the consolidation was performed by transforming data from individual financial statements into the consolidated financial statements line items. 2.4 Intangible and tangible fixed assets All intangible (and tangible) assets with a useful life longer than one year and a unit cost of more than CZK 60 thousand (CZK 40 thousand) are treated as intangible (and tangible) fixed assets. All intangible assets with a unit cost of less than CZK 60 thousand are expensed upon acquisition. Tangible fixed assets with a unit cost more than CZK 5 thousand and less than CZK 40 thousand are treated as inventory and are expensed upon consumption. Purchased intangible and tangible fixed assets are initially recorded at cost, which includes all costs related to its acquisition. All research costs and development cost are expensed. Own work capitalized is recorded at cost that includes direct materials and direct wages. Intangible and tangible fixed assets, except for land and artworks, which are not depreciated, are depreciated applying the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives as follows:  

Intangible fixed assets Estimated useful life

Software 4 years

Patents 10 years

Tangible fixed assets Estimated useful life

Buildings and constructions 30 - 45 years

Plant, machinery and equipment 4 - 30 years

Furniture and fittings 4 - 15 years

Motor vehicles 4 - 8 years

The depreciation plan is updated during the useful life of the intangible and tangible fixed assets based on the expected useful life. The Consolidation Unit uses annual depreciation rates which differ from those allowable for tax purposes. A provision for impairment is established when the carrying value of an asset is greater than its estimated recoverable amount. The estimated recoverable amount is determined based on expected future cash flows generated by the certain asset.

Repairs and maintenance expenditures of tangible fixed assets are expensed as incurred. Technical improvements of intangible and tangible fixed assets are capitalised. Tangible fixed assets, with a unit cost of less than CZK 40 thousand are treated as inventory and are expensed upon acquisition. The Company decided to capitalise newly acquired computers with cost up to CZK 40 thousand to deferred cost. Their cost will be depreciated applying the straight-line method over 4 years period, except computers purchased as part of the production lines with which they form one technical and economic unit. 2.5 Tooling Tooling is used by the Consolidation Unit in production. Tooling is recognised according to the agreement with the customer as either tangible fixed asset (tools are added into the Company’s assets and are depreciated applying the straight line method over the expected length of production in accordance with respective order) or as inventory (tooling is manufactured or purchased and subsequently sold to the customer). A provision for impairment is recorded when the carrying value of tooling is greater than its estimated recoverable amount. 2.6 Inventories Purchased inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable amount. Cost includes all costs related with its acquisition (mainly transport costs, customs duty, etc.). The actual costs method is applied for all disposals. Inventories generated from own production, i.e. work-in-progress and finished goods, are stated at the lower of production cost and estimated net realisable amount. Production cost includes direct and indirect materials, direct and indirect wages and production overheads. A provision is created for slow-moving and obsolete inventory based on an analysis of turnover and individual evaluation of inventories. 2.7 Receivables Receivables are stated at nominal value less a provision for doubtful amounts. A provision for doubtful amounts is created on the basis of an ageing analysis and an individual evaluation of the credit worthiness of the customers. Receivables from related parties have not been provided for.

2.8 Foreign currency translation Transactions denominated in a foreign currency are translated and recorded at the rate of exchange determined by the Company for the first day of the month. Cash, receivables and liabilities balances denominated in foreign currencies have been translated at the exchange rate published by the Czech National Bank as at the balance sheet date. All exchange gains and losses on cash, receivables and liabilities balances are recorded in the income statement. Investments in subsidiaries and associates denominated in a foreign currency are translated at the period-end exchange rate as published by the Czech National Bank. Any translation difference is recognised in equity. The Company does not treat advances paid for the acquisition of fixed assets or inventories as receivables and therefore these assets are not translated as at the balance sheet date. Balances of accrued expenses and accrued income denominated in foreign currencies have been translated at the exchange rate published by the Czech National Bank as at the balance sheet date. 2.9 Provisions Provisions are recognised when the Consolidation Unit has a present obligation, it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate of the amount can be made. 2.10 Employee benefits The Consolidation Unit recognizes a provision relating to untaken holidays. A provision is also created for payment of jubilees in case of reaching the labour or life anniversary or in case of retirement. The Consolidation Unit recognises an estimated payable relating to rewards and bonuses of employees. The Consolidation Unit recognizes a provision relating to special bonuses and remuneration of top managers. Regular contributions are made to the state to fund the national pension plan. The Consolidation Unit also provides its employees with contributions to defined contribution plans operated by independent pension funds and life insurance. 2.11 Revenue recognition Sales of products and goods are recognised upon the delivery of products and goods and customer acceptance and are stated net of discounts and value added tax. Tools that are paid by the customer are invoiced based on the contractual agreement with customer. However, sales are recognised after the customer’s acceptance of completed tool. Engineering services that are part of the product cost are included in the invoice for the product during the course of the project. Cost of sales are accrued and accounted for monthly according to the estimated useful lives of the project. Engineering services that are not part of the product cost are billed on the basis of a contractual agreement with the customer and are accrued. The revenues are recognised upon completion of the project. Sales of services are recognised as at the date the services are rendered and are stated net of discounts and value added tax.

2.12 Related parties The Company’s related parties are considered to be the following: parties, which directly or indirectly control the Company, their subsidiaries and associates; parties, which have directly or indirectly significant influence on the Company; members of the Consolidation Unit’s Company or parent company’s statutory and supervisory boards

and management and parties close to such members, including entities in which they have a controlling or significant influence.

Material transactions and outstanding balances with related parties are disclosed in Note 12. 2.13 Changes of accounting policies and corrections of prior period errors Changes to accounting policies (inclusive of deferred tax impact) and corrections of errors arising from incorrect accounting or unrecorded expenses and income in prior periods, if material, are recorded on financial statements line Restatements of retained earnings. 2.14 Leases The costs of assets held under both finance and operating leases are not capitalised as fixed assets. Lease payments are expensed evenly over the life of the lease. Future lease payments not yet due are disclosed in the notes to the consolidated financial statements but not recognised in the balance sheet. 2.15 Factoring The Group uses external financing through the factoring. Depending whether factor (a bank) overtakes the rights and risks of the ceded claims, the Group recognizes factoring in the balance sheet (so called the management of credit) or in the income statement (so called set-off/ sale of receivables recorded within other operating costs and income accounts). Interests related to factoring are expensed. 2.16 Interest expense Interest expenses on borrowing costs are expensed. 2.17 Deferred tax Deferred tax is recognised on all temporary differences between the carrying amount of an asset or liability in the balance sheet and its tax base. Deferred tax asset is recognised if it is probable that sufficient future taxable profit will be available against which the asset can be utilised. 2.18 Cash and cash equivalents The Consolidation Unit has prepared a Cash-flow statement using the indirect method. Cash equivalents are short-term highly liquid investments that can be exchanged for a predictable amount of cash. 2.19 Subsequent events The effects of events, which occurred between the balance sheet date and the date of preparation of the financial statements, are recognised in the financial statements in the case that these events provide further evidence of conditions that existed as at the balance sheet date. Where significant events occur subsequent to the balance sheet date but prior to the preparation of the consolidated financial statements, which are indicative of conditions that arose subsequent to the balance sheet date, the effects of these events are quantified and disclosed, but are not themselves recognised in the consolidated financial statements.

Future lease payments not yet due are disclosed in the notes but not recognised in the balance sheet. 2.14. Interest expense All borrowing costs are expensed. 2.15. Factoring The Company uses external financing through the factoring. Depending whether factor (a bank) overtakes the rights and risk of the ceded claims, the Company recognises factoring in the balance sheet (so called management of receivables) or in the income statement (so called transfer/sale of receivables in other operating expense and income). Interest related to factoring are expensed. 2.16. Deferred tax Deferred tax is recognised on all temporary differences between the carrying amount of an asset or liability in the balance sheet and its tax base. Deferred tax asset is recognised if it is probable that sufficient future taxable profit will be available against which the asset can be utilised. 2.17. Cash and cash equivalents The Company has prepared a Cash-flow statement using the indirect method. Cash equivalents are short-term highly liquid investments that can be exchanged for a predictable amount of cash. 2.18. Subsequent events The effects of events, which occurred between the balance sheet date and the date of preparation of the financial statements, are recognised in the financial statements in the case that these events provide further evidence of conditions that existed as at the balance sheet date. Where significant events occur subsequent to the balance sheet date but prior to the preparation of the financial statements, which are indicative of conditions that arose subsequent to the balance sheet date, the effects of these events are quantified and disclosed, but are not themselves recognised in the financial statements.
