EXPLANATORY NOTE - AMENDMENT

Meritor, Inc. (the “company” or “Meritor”) is filing this Form 10-K/A (Amendment No. 2) to include in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 29, 2013 (the “Annual Report”), pursuant to Rule 3-09 of Regulation S-X under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, financial statements and related notes of Master Sistemas Automotivos Ltda. (“MSA”) and Suspensys Sistemas Automotivos Ltda. (“SSA”), unconsolidated joint ventures incorporated in Brazil in which the company owns an interest. Meritor owns a 49% interest in MSA (directly) and owned a 50% interest in SSA prior to the sale date of July 30, 2013 (through both direct and indirect interests).
Rule 3-09 of Regulation S-X provides that if a 50% or less owned person accounted for by the equity method meets the first or third condition of the significant subsidiary tests set forth in Rule 1-02(w), substituting 20% for 10%, separate financial statements for such 50% or less owned person shall be filed. Such statements are required to be audited only in the years in which such person met such test.
MSA and SSA met the significance test for Meritor's 2013 and 2011 fiscal years. Therefore, Meritor is required to file audited financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2013 ("2013") and December 31, 2011 ("2011") and the company has included in this Amendment No. 2 on Form 10-K/A the required audited financial statements for the fiscal years ended 2013 and 2011. Both MSA and SSA did not meet such significance test for Meritor's fiscal year 2012. Therefore, Meritor is only required to file unaudited financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012 ("2012").
Effective January 1, 2009, Brazil adopted International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”). The financial statements of MSA and SSA for 2013, 2012 and 2011 have been prepared in accordance with IFRS as issued by the IASB.
The financial statements of MSA and SSA are presented in accordance with IFRS as issued by the IASB. Reconciliations between local GAAP and U.S. GAAP are not required pursuant to SEC Release numbers 33-8879 and 34-57026 and have been omitted.
Item 15 is the only portion of the Annual Report being supplemented or amended by this Amendment No. 2 on Form 10-K/A. Additionally, in connection with the filing of this Amendment No. 2 on Form 10-K/A and pursuant to SEC rules, except for Exhibit 10-v-1, Meritor is including the consents of the independent auditors of MSA and SSA and currently dated certifications. This Amendment No. 2 on Form 10-K/A does not otherwise update any exhibits as originally filed and does not otherwise reflect events occurring after the original filing date of the Annual Report. Accordingly, this Amendment No. 2 on Form 10-K/A should be read in conjunction with Meritor’s filings with the SEC subsequent to the filing of the Annual Report.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT


To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of
Master Sistemas Automotivos Ltda.
Caxias do Sul, RS

We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Master Sistemas Automotivos Ltda. (the "Company"), which comprise the balance sheet as of December 31, 2013, and the related statements of income, comprehensive income, changes in shareholder's equity, and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2011, and the related notes to the financial statements.

Management's Responsibility for the Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) issued by International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditors' Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement. An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor's judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the Company's preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Opinion

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Master Sistemas Automotivos Ltda. as of December 31, 2013, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2011in accordance. with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) issued by International Accounting Standards Board (IASB).

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2013, 2012 (UNAUDITED) AND 2011
(Amounts in thousands of Brazilian reais - R$, unless otherwise stated)

1.
GENERAL INFORMATION

Master Sistemas Automotivos Ltda. (“Company”) is a limited liability company established in Brazil with its head office and principal place of business at Rua Atílio Andreazza 3520, in Caxias do Sul, RS, and is a jointly controlled entity of Randon S.A. Implementos e Participações (“Randon”) and Meritor do Brasil Sistemas Automotivos Ltda. (“Meritor”) whereby Randon owns 51% and Meritor owns 49%. The Company was incorporated on April 24, 1986, having started its operations in April 1987, and is engaged in the development, manufacture, sale, assembly, distribution, import and export of movement control systems for buses, trailers and trucks and their parts and components.
On June 18, 2013, pursuant to the 23rd amendment to the articles of organization, the shareholders decided, by unanimous vote, without reserves or restrictions, to reduce the Company’s capital by transferring the shares held by the Company in the capital of Suspensys Sistemas Automotivos Ltda. to the shareholders of Randon S.A. Implementos e Participações and Meritor do Brasil Sistemas Automotivos Ltda. This amendment is detailed in note 17.

3.
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

3.1.
Basis of preparation

The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis. Historical cost is generally based on the fair value of the consideration given in exchange for assets.

3.2.
Functional currency and presentation currency

The financial statements are presented in thousands of reais, which is the Company's functional currency. All financial information presented in thousands of reais was rounded to the closest number.

3.3.
Critical accounting judgments and key estimates and assumptions

In the application of accounting policies, Management is required to make judgments, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Significant assets and liabilities subject to these estimates and assumptions include the residual value and useful lives of property, plant and equipment, the allowance for doubtful debts, impairment of inventories, the realization of deferred taxes, and the provision for labor and social security risks. The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimates are revised if the revision affects only that period.Actual results may differ from these estimates due to uncertainties inherent in such estimates.

3.4.
Revenue recognition

Revenue is recognized on an accrual basis.

Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable. Revenue is reduced for estimated customer returns, rebates and other similar allowances.

Revenue from the sale of goods is recognized when all the following conditions are satisfied:

the Company has transferred to the buyer the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods;

the Company retains neither continuing managerial involvement to the degree usually associated with ownership nor effective control over the goods sold;

the amount of revenue can be measured reliably;

it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the Company;

the costs incurred or to be incurred in respect of the transaction can be measured reliably; and

Specifically, revenue from the sale of goods is recognized when goods are delivered and legal title is passed.

3.5.
Foreign currency

In preparing the Company's financial statements, transactions in currencies other than the Company's functional currency are recognized at the rates of exchange prevailing at the dates of the transactions. At the end of each reporting period, monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing at that date.

Exchange differences on monetary items are recognized in profit or loss in the period in which they arise.

3.6.
Current and non-current assets


Cash and Cash Equivalents

12




Include cash on hand and in banks and short-term investments redeemable in up to 90 days from the investment date. Short-term investments are readily convertible to a known amount of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. These investments are carried at cost plus yield accrued through the end of the reporting period, which approximates their fair values.

Short-term investments not immediately redeemable

The classification of short-term investments depends on the purpose for which the investment was acquired and these investments are adjusted to fair value. When applicable, the costs directly attributable to the acquisition of a financial asset are added to the amount originally recognized.

Trade receivables

Trade receivables are recognized at the billed amount, including the related taxes and reduced to their present value at the end of the reporting period, when applicable.

Allowances for doubtful debts are recognized based on estimated irrecoverable amounts determined by reference to the Company's past default experience and an analysis of the debtor's current financial position.

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Costs of inventories are determined under the weighted average cost method.Net realizable value represents the estimated selling price for inventories less all estimated costs of completion and costs necessary to make the sale.

The allowances for slow-moving or obsolete inventories are recognized when considered necessary by Management.

Investments in associates

An associate is an entity over which the Company has significant influence and that does not qualify as a subsidiary or a joint venture. Significant influence is the power to participate in the financial and operating policy decisions of the investee but is not control or joint control over those policies.

The profit or loss, assets, and liabilities of associates are included in the financial statements by the equity method of accounting. Under the equity method of accounting, investments in associates are initially recognized at cost and subsequently adjusted for purposes of recognition of the Company's share in profit or loss and other comprehensive income of an associate. When the Company's share of losses of an associate exceeds its interest in the associate (including any long-term investment which, in substance, is included in the Company's net investment in the associate), the Company discontinues recognizing its share of further losses. Further losses are recognized only to the extent that the Company has incurred legal or constructive obligations or made payments on behalf of the associate.

When the Company's subsidiary conducts a transaction with an associate, the resulting profits or losses are recognized only proportionately to the interests held in the associate not related to the Company.

As mentioned in note 17, on June 18, 2013 the Company reduced its capital by transferring the shares held in the capital of Suspensys Sistemas Automotivos Ltda. to the shareholders Randon S.A. Implementos e Participações and Meritor do Brasil Sistemas Automotivos Ltda.

Property, plant and equipment

Carried at cost of acquisition, formation or construction, less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. Properties in the course of construction are carried at cost. Cost includes professional fees and, for qualifying assets, borrowing costs capitalized in accordance with the Company's accounting policy (note 3.9). Such properties are classified to the appropriate categories of property, plant and equipment when completed and ready for intended use. Depreciation of these assets, on the same basis as other property

13


assets, commences when the assets are ready for their intended use.

Land is not depreciated. For the other classes of property, plant and equipment, depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method at the rates mentioned in note 10, which take into consideration the estimated useful lives of assets. The estimated useful life and depreciation method are reviewed at the end of each reporting period, with the effect of any changes in estimate accounted for on a prospective basis.

An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognized upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected to arise from the continued use of the asset. Any gain or loss arising on the disposal or retirement of an item of a property and equipment item is determined as the difference between the sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and is recognized in profit or loss.

Intangible assets

Intangible assets with finite useful lives that are acquired separately are carried at cost, less accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses. Amortization is recognized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. The estimated useful life and amortization method are reviewed at the end of each reporting period, with the effect of any changes in estimate being accounted for on a prospective basis.

An intangible asset is derecognized on disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from use. Gain or loss arising from derecognition of an intangible asset, measured as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset, is recognized in profit or loss when the asset is derecognized.

3.7.
Impairment of tangible and intangible assets
At the end of each reporting period (or earlier when the need is identified), the Company reviews the carrying amount of its tangible and intangible assets to determine where there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss, if any.
Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset for which the estimates of future cash flows have not been adjusted.
If the recoverable amount of an asset is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognized immediately in profit or loss.
When an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, as long as the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset in prior years/periods. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognized immediately in profit or loss.

3.8.
Discount to present value
Monetary assets and liabilities are discounted to present value when the effect is considered material in relation to the financial statements taken as a whole. The discount to present value is calculated based on an interest rate that reflects the timing and risk of each transaction.

Trade receivables are discounted to present value with a corresponding entry in sales revenue in the statements of income, and the difference between the present value of a transaction and the face value of the billing is considered as financial income and will be recognized based on the amortized cost and the effective long-term rate of the transaction.
The discount to present value of purchases is recorded in “trade payables” and “inventories”, and its realization has a corresponding entry in line item “financial expenses” over maturity date of trade payables.


3.9.
Borrowing costs

14


Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of qualifying assets, which are assets that necessarily take a substantial period of time to get ready for their intended use or sale, are added to the cost of those assets.
Income on investments earned on the short-term investment of funds of specific borrowings not yet spent on the qualifying assets is deducted from the borrowing costs eligible for capitalization.
All other borrowing costs are recognized in profit or loss in the year in which they are incurred.

3.10.
Retirement benefit plan
The Company is the sponsor of a defined contribution plan with minimum guaranteed benefits and the cost of providing benefits is determined using the Projected Unit Credit Method, with actuarial valuations being carried out at the end of each reporting period. Actuarial gains and losses are immediately recognized in equity (Other comprehensive income) according to the available option in paragraph 93A IAS 19 - Employee Benefits.

3.11.
Financial instruments

(a)
Classification and measurement
The classification depends on the purpose for which the financial assets and liabilities were acquired or contracted. The Company’s management classifies its financial assets and liabilities at the time of initial contracting.
Loans and receivables measured at amortized cost
Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. Loans and receivables (including trade receivables and cash and cash equivalents) are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment.
Financial liabilities measured at amortized cost
Borrowings are initially recognized, upon receipt of funds, net of transaction costs. They are subsequently measured at amortized cost. The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortized cost of a debt instrument and of allocating interest expense over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments (including all fees and points paid or received that form an integral part of the effective interest rate, transaction costs and other premiums or discounts) through the expected life of the debt instrument.

3.12.
Provisions
A provision is recognized when the Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that the Company will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. The amount recognized as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at the end of the reporting period, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation.
Provisions for the expected cost of warranty obligations are recognized at the date of sale of the relevant products, at Management's best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the Company's obligation.

3.13.
Tax incentive (FUNDOPEM)
Government grants are recognized when there is reasonable assurance that the Company will comply with the conditions attaching to them and that the grants will be received.
Subsidized loans, directly or indirectly provided by the Government, obtained at interest rates lower than market, are treated as government grants, measured at the difference between the amounts raised and the fair value of the borrowing calculated using market interest rates.

3.14.
Income tax and social contribution
Current taxes
The provision for income and social contribution is based on the taxable profit for the year.Taxable profit differs from profit as reported in the income statement because of items of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other years and items that are never taxable or deductible.The provision for income tax and social contribution

15


is calculated based on rates prevailing at the end of the reporting period (15% plus a 10% surtax on taxable profit exceeding R$20 per month for Income Tax and 9% on taxable profit for Social Contribution on Profit).

Deferred taxes
Deferred taxes are recognized on temporary differences at the end of each annual reporting period between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit. Deferred tax liabilities are recognized for all taxable temporary differences and deferred tax assets are recognized for all deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which those deductible temporary differences can be utilized.
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period in which the liability is settled or the asset realized, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.The measurement of deferred tax liabilities and assets reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the Company expects, at the end of the reporting period, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities.
Current and deferred taxes for the period
Current and deferred taxes are recognized in profit or loss, except when they relate to items that are recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case, current and deferred taxes are also recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, respectively.

3.15.

FUNDOPEM – ICMS

26


Refers to ICMS tax incentives granted to the Company through financing of 60% of the ICMS due every month. This incentive is calculated on a monthly basis and is contingent to the generation of direct and indirect jobs, investments made, and the fulfillment of contractual obligations with Banco do Estado do Rio Grande do Sul and Caixa Estadual S.A. - Agência de Fomento (State Development Bank).
The incentive amounts are subject to charges at the effective rates of 3.00% per year or 0.246627% per month plus adjustment for inflation calculated based on the monthly fluctuation of the IPCA/IBGE (consumer price index) or another index defined by the Steering Committee of FUNDOPEM/RS.
The benefit period started in December 2006 and ends in May 2014, and disbursements for Company use totaled 1,479,042.54 FUNDOPEM-RS incentive units (equivalent to R$ 28,101 as at December 31, 2013, R$ 26,519 as at December 31, 2012 and R$ 25,129 as at December 31, 2011). Up to December 31, 2013, the Company utilized R$ 24,416. The benefit has a grace period of 51 months and settlement is scheduled in 90 months after the end of the grace period, ending February 2021.

RETIREMENT BENEFIT PLAN
The Company is the co-sponsor of the pension fund RANDONPREV, together with other Randon companies, whose benefit plan is a defined contribution plan under the financial capitalization regime, with some supplementations of benefits for employees, not covered by the defined benefits. This minimum benefit is defined based on a percentage of the nominal salary per annum worked for the Company, credited in a lump sum at the beneficiary’s account with RANDONPREV. The latest valuation of the plan assets and of the present value of the minimum benefit was performed at December 31, 2013 using the projected unit credit method and the determined balance of R$ 627 as at December 31, 2013 (R$ 640 as at December 31, 2012), corresponding to the Company’s benefit, is recorded in assets. Part of this amount refers to the credit of the special reserves that can be amortized from future contributions, at any time, as from January 2013, without the need for previous analysis and authorization from Previc. In 2013 the amortized amount was R$ 176, remaining a balance of R$ 451 recorded in assets.

16.
FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The estimated fair values of the Company's financial assets and liabilities were determined based on available market information and appropriate valuation techniques. However, considerable judgment was required in interpreting market data to produce the most adequate estimate of the fair value. As a consequence, the following estimates do not necessarily indicate the amounts that could be realized in a current exchange market. The use of different market methodologies may have a material effect on the estimated fair values.
These instruments are managed by means of operating strategies aimed at liquidity, profitability and security. The control policy consists in ongoing monitoring of contracted rates against market rates. The Company does not make speculative investments in derivatives or any other risk assets.

Financial instruments that are recognized in the financial statements at their carrying amounts are substantially similar to the amounts that would be obtained if they were traded in the market. However, as they do not have an active market, there can be variations if the Company decides to settle them in advance.

The cost of financial instruments approximates fair value, so the disclosure of levels 1, 2 and 3 are not applicable.

Financial risk management

The Company is exposed to the following risks associated to the utilization of its financial instruments:

i.credit risk
ii.foreign exchange rate risk
iii.interest rate risk
iv.price risk
v.liquidity risk

The Company, through the shareholder Randon, has a Currency Hedge Policy, prepared by the Planning and Finance Committee and approved by the Executive Officers. The purpose of the policy is to standardize the procedures of the group Companies, in order to define responsibilities and limits in transactions involving currency hedge, reducing the effects of foreign currency exchange rates on the inflows in foreign currency projected by the cash flow, without speculative purposes.

The basis used is the cash flow in foreign currency projected monthly for the following twelve months, based on the Strategic Plan projections or on the current expectation of each group Company. If considered necessary, the instruments used are conservative and previously approved by the same committee. For the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012, and 2011, the Company did not enter into any transactions involving derivative financial instruments.

a.
Credit risk

Credit risk arises from the possibility of a counterparty not fulfilling its obligation, which would cause financial loss. In the course of its operations, the Company is exposed to the credit risk as a result of its operating activities, arising mainly on trade receivables.

The Company's sales policies are contingent on the credit policies defined by Management and are intended to minimize possible problems arising from the default of its customers. This objective is achieved by Management by means of a strict selection of the customer portfolio, which considers the ability to pay (credit analysis). A customer’s creditworthiness is assessed based on an internal credit rating system. Outstanding trade receivables are frequently monitored. The need for an allowance for impairment losses is analyzed at the end of each reporting

30


period on an individual basis, for the major customers. Additionally, receivables lower that the allowance are collective tested.

Sales concentration:
In the year ended December 31, 2013, five costumers individually accounted for more than 10% of sales, with shares of 22.19% (22.21% in 2012 and 27.91% in 2011), 15.99% (13.82% in 2012 and 12.54% in 2011), 15.33%(11.19% in 2012 and 14.16% in 2011), 11.77% (5.06% in 2012 and 4.77% in 2011) and 11.16% (12.62% in 2012 and 11.93% in 2011) of the net revenues each, equivalent to R$115 million (R$84 million in 2012 and R$146 million in 2011), R$83 million (R$52 million in 2012 and R$66 million in 2011), R$79 million (R$42 million in 2012 and R$75 million in 2011), R$61 million (R$19 million in 2012 and R$25 million in 2011) and R$58 million (R$48 million in 2012 and R$63 million in 2011). The first and the second amounts refer to related parties. Other Company sales in the domestic and foreign markets are diluted and there is no sales concentration in a percentage above 10% for any other customer.

b.
Foreign exchange rate risk

The Company’s results are exposed to fluctuations due to the effects of the exchange rate volatility on assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies, mainly the US dollar, which closed 2013 with a positive fluctuation of 14.64% (positive fluctuation of 8.94% in 2012).

The Company is exposed to currency risk (foreign exchange risk) on sales, purchases and borrowings that are denominated in a currency other than the Company’s functional currency, the Brazilian real.

The Company's net exposure to foreign exchange rate risk is as follows:

c.
Interest rate risk

The Company's result is exposed to significant fluctuations due to borrowings and financing contracted at floating interest rates.

The Company does not have derivative financial instruments to manage its exposure to interest rates.

Pursuant to its financial policies, the Company has not entered into any transactions involving financial instruments for speculative purposes.

The interest rates on the Company's borrowings and financing are disclosed in note 12 - Borrowings and Financing.

d.
Price risk

Arises from the possibility of fluctuations in the market prices of products sold or produced by the Company and of other inputs used in the production process. These price fluctuations may cause substantial changes in the Company’s revenues and costs. In order to mitigate these risks, the Company conducts an ongoing monitoring of local and foreign markets, seeking to anticipate price movements. The Company has not contracted any financial instruments to hedge against fluctuations in its raw materials’ prices.

e.
Liquidity risk

The table below details the remaining contractual maturity of the Company’s liabilities and the contractual

31


amortization periods. The table was prepared using the undiscounted cash flows of the financial liabilities based on the nearest date on which the Company can be required to make the related payment. The table includes interest and principal cash flows. As the interest flows refer to floating rates, the undiscounted was obtained based on the interest curves at the end of the reporting period. Contractual maturity is based on the first date the Company can be required to pay the related obligations.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT


To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of
Suspensys Sistemas Automotivos Ltda.
Caxias do Sul, RS


We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Suspensys Sistemas Automotivos Ltda. (the "Company"), which comprise the balance sheets as of July 31, 2013, and the related statements of income, comprehensive income, changes in shareholder's equity, and cash flows for the seven-month period ended July 31, 2013 and for the year ended December 31, 2011, and the related notes to the financial statements.

Management's Responsibility for the Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) issued by International Accounting Standards Board (IASB); this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditors' Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor's judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the Company's preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Opinion

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Suspensys Sistemas Automotivos Ltda. as of July 31, 2013 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the seven-month period ended July 31, 2013 and for the year ended December 31, 2011 in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) issued by International Accounting Standards Board (IASB).

3.
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

3.1
Basis of preparation

The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis. Historical cost is generally based on the fair value of the consideration given in exchange for assets.

3.2
Functional and presentation currency

The financial statements are presented in thousands of reais, which is the Company’s functional currency. All financial information presented in thousands of reais was rounded to the closest number.

3.3
Critical accounting judgments and key estimates and assumptions

In the application of accounting policies, Management is required to make judgments, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Significant assets and liabilities subject to these estimates and assumptions include the residual value and useful lives of property, plant and equipment, the allowance for doubtful debts, impairment of inventories, the realization of deferred taxes, and the provision for labor and social security risks. The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimates are revised if the revision affects only that period. Actual results may differ from these estimates due to uncertainties inherent in such estimates.

3.4
Revenue recognition

Revenue is recognized on an accrual basis.

Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable. Revenue is reduced for estimated customer returns, rebates and other similar allowances.

Revenue from the sale of goods is recognized when all the following conditions are satisfied:

the Company has transferred to the buyer the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods;

the Company retains neither continuing managerial involvement to the degree usually associated with ownership nor effective control over the goods sold;

the amount of revenue can be measured reliably;

it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the Company; and

the costs incurred or to be incurred in respect of the transaction can be measured reliably.

Specifically, revenue from the sale of goods is recognized when goods are delivered and legal title is passed.

3.5
Foreign currency

In preparing the Company's financial statements, transactions in currencies other than the Company's functional currency are recognized at the rates of exchange prevailing at the dates of the transactions. At the end of each reporting period, monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing at that date.

Exchange differences on monetary items are recognized in profit or loss in the period in which they arise.

3.6
Current and non-current assets

Cash and cash equivalents

Include cash on hand and in banks and short-term investments redeemable in up to 90 days from the investment date. Short-term investments are readily convertible to a known amount of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in

47


value. These investments are carried at cost plus yield accrued through the end of the reporting period, which approximates their fair values.

Trade receivables

Trade receivables are recognized at the billed amount, including the related taxes and reduced to their present value at the end of the reporting period, when applicable.

Allowances for doubtful debts are recognized based on estimated irrecoverable amounts determined by reference to the Company's past default experience and an analysis of the debtor's current financial position.

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Costs of inventories are determined under the weighted average cost method. Net realizable value represents the estimated selling price for inventories less all estimated costs of completion and costs necessary to make the sale.

The allowances for slow-moving or obsolete inventories are recognized when considered necessary by Management.


Property, plant and equipment

Carried at cost of acquisition, formation or construction, less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses.

Properties in the course of construction are carried at cost. Cost includes professional fees and, for qualifying assets, borrowing costs capitalized in accordance with the Company's accounting policy (note 3.9). Such properties are classified to the appropriate categories of property, plant and equipment when completed and ready for intended use. Depreciation of these assets, on the same basis as other property assets, commences when the assets are ready for their intended use.

Land is not depreciated. For the other classes of property, plant and equipment, depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method at the rates mentioned in note 8, which take into consideration the estimated useful lives of assets. The estimated useful life and depreciation method are reviewed at the end of each reporting period, with the effect of any changes in estimate accounted for on a prospective basis.

An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognized upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected to arise from the continued use of the asset. Any gain or loss arising on the disposal or retirement of an item of a property and equipment item is determined as the difference between the sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and is recognized in profit or loss.

Intangible assets

Intangible assets with finite useful lives that are acquired separately are carried at cost, less accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses. Amortization is recognized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. The estimated useful life and amortization method are reviewed at the end of each reporting period, with the effect of any changes in estimate being accounted for on a prospective basis.

An intangible asset is derecognized on disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from use. Gain or loss arising from derecognition of an intangible asset, measured as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset, is recognized in profit or loss when the asset is derecognized.

3.7
Impairment of tangible and intangible assets

At the end of each reporting period (or earlier when the need is identified), the Company reviews the carrying amount of its tangible and intangible assets to determine where there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss, if any.


48


Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset for which the estimates of future cash flows have not been adjusted.

If the recoverable amount of an asset is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognized immediately in profit or loss.

When an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, as long as the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset in prior years/periods. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognized immediately in profit or loss.

3.8
Discount to present value

Monetary assets and liabilities are discounted to present value when the effect is considered material in relation to the financial statements taken as a whole. The discount to present value is calculated based on an interest rate that reflects the timing and risk of each transaction.

Trade receivables are discounted to present value with a corresponding entry in sales revenue in the statement of income, and the difference between the present value of a transaction and the face value of the billing is considered as financial income and will be recognized based on the amortized cost and the effective long-term rate of the transaction.

The discount to present value of purchases is recorded in “trade payables” and “inventories”, and its realization has a corresponding entry in line item “financial expenses” over the maturity date of trade payables.

3.9 Borrowing costs
Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of qualifying assets, which are assets that necessarily take a substantial period of time to get ready for their intended use or sale, are added to the cost of those assets.
Income on investments earned on the short-term investment of funds of specific borrowings not yet spent on the qualifying assets is deducted from the borrowing costs eligible for capitalization.
All other borrowing costs are recognized in profit or loss in the year in which they are incurred.

3.10 Retirement benefit plan

The Company is the sponsor of a defined contribution plan with minimum guaranteed benefits and the cost of providing benefits is determined using the Projected Unit Credit Method, with actuarial valuations being carried out at the end of each reporting period. Actuarial gains and losses are immediately recognized in equity (in line item 'Other comprehensive income') according to the available option in paragraph 93A IAS 19 - Employee Benefits.

3.11 Financial instruments

Classification and measurement

The classification depends on the purpose for which the financial assets and liabilities were acquired or contracted. The Company's management classifies its financial assets and liabilities at the time of initial contracting.
Loans and receivables measured at amortized cost

Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. Loans and receivables (including trade receivables and cash and cash equivalents) are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment.
Financial liabilities measured at amortized cost

Borrowings are initially recognized, upon receipt of funds, net of transaction costs. They are subsequently measured at amortized cost. The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortized cost of a debt instrument and of allocating interest expense over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash

49


payments (including all fees and points paid or received that form an integral part of the effective interest rate, transaction costs and other premiums or discounts) through the expected life of the debt instrument.

3.12 Provisions

A provision is recognized when the Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that the Company will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. The amount recognized as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at the end of the reporting period, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation.

Provisions for the expected cost of warranty obligations are recognized at the date of sale of the relevant products, at Management's best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the Company's obligation.

3.13 Tax incentive (FUNDOPEM)

Government grants are recognized when there is reasonable assurance that the Company will comply with the conditions attaching to them and that the grants will be received.

Subsidized loans, directly or indirectly provided by the Government, obtained at interest rates lower than market, are treated as government grants, measured at the difference between the amounts raised and the fair value of the borrowing calculated using market interest rates.

3.14 Income tax and social contribution
Current taxes

The provision for income and social contribution is based on the taxable profit for the year. Taxable profit differs from profit as reported in the income statement because of items of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other years and items that are never taxable or deductible. The provision for income tax and social contribution is calculated based on rates prevailing at the end of the reporting period (15% plus a 10% surtax on taxable profit exceeding R$20 per month for Income Tax and 9% on taxable profit for Social Contribution on Profit).
Deferred taxes

Deferred taxes are recognized on temporary differences at the end of each annual reporting period between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit. Deferred tax liabilities are recognized for all taxable temporary differences and deferred tax assets are recognized for all deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which those deductible temporary differences can be utilized.

The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period in which the liability is settled or the asset realized, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period. The measurement of deferred tax liabilities and assets reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the Company expects, at the end of the reporting period, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities.
Current and deferred taxes for the period

Current and deferred taxes are recognized in profit or loss, except when they relate to items that are recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case, current and deferred taxes are also recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, respectively.

3.15 Standards, interpretations and amendments to existing standards not yet effective and which were not early adopted by the Company.

To determine whether or not trade receivables are recoverable, the Company takes into consideration any change in the customer's creditworthiness from the date the credit was originally granted to the end of the reporting period. The credit risk concentration is limited because the customer base is comprehensive and there is no relationship between customers. The Company has not received any collateral for these receivables.

State VAT (ICMS) - The Company was assessed by the Rio Grande do Sul Department of Finance, in the original amount of R$ 7,801, due to the alleged irregularity in the calculation of the ICMS relief benefit under the "FUNDOPEM/Nosso Emprego" program. The amount includes principal, fine and interest. On January 24, 2007, due to the objection filed by the Company, the debts were recalculated by the tax authority. The amount of the cause was reduced in 2008 due to the judgment of the action for annulment filed by the Company, and the new amount attributed to the cause was R$ 2,837, including fine and interest. On December 10, 2010, the authority converted the tax assessment penalty, initially typified

61


as basic, applied at the percentage of 60%, into a qualified penalty at the percentage of 120%, thus generating a supplementary assessment of R$ 470, totaling R$ 3,307. The Company filed an objection and is awaiting a decision.

b)
The Company was assessed in the inflation adjusted amount of R$ 8,241, for an alleged import duties (II) and Federal VAT (IPI) debt, for alleged noncompliance with award acts provided for by the Drawback special regime. Awaiting expert evidence.

c)
Disallowance of ICMS presumed credit on purchase of steel - refers to assessment notices issued by the Rio Grande do Sul State Department of Finance totaling R$ 3,744, through which this tax authority confirmed the award of the tax benefit in an amount higher than permitted by the law.
Labor
Several labor lawsuits mostly consisting of compensation claims.
Social security
The Company received INSS assessment notices for alleged nonpayment of social security taxes on profit sharing, against which the Company filed objections currently being at the judgment stage at the Federal Revenue Service, assessed as possible losses. The inflation adjusted amount under litigation of these assessments totals R$ 4,994.
Civil
Refer to lawsuits for recovery of credits (collection), which already have an allowance for losses; however, the lawsuits are still being judged by the courts and if the court decision is favorable to the Company the allowance will be reversed.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The estimated fair values of the Company's financial assets and liabilities were determined based on available market information and appropriate valuation techniques. However, considerable judgment was required in interpreting market data to produce the most adequate estimate of the fair value. As a consequence, the following estimates do not necessarily indicate the amounts that could be realized in a current exchange market. The use of different market methodologies may have a material effect on the estimated fair values.

These instruments are managed by means of operating strategies aimed at liquidity, profitability and security. The control policy consists in ongoing monitoring of contracted rates against market rates. The Company does not make speculative investments in derivatives or any other risk assets.

The carrying amounts and fair values of financial instruments, all measured at amortized cost, included in the balance sheet are identified below:

Financial instruments that are recognized in the financial statements at their carrying amounts are substantially similar to the amounts that would be obtained if they were traded in the market. However, as they do not have an active market, there can be variations if the Company decides to settle them in advance.

The cost of financial instruments approximates fair value, so the disclosure of levels 1, 2 and 3 are not applicable.

Financial risk management

The Company is exposed to the following risks associated to its operating and financing activities, including the utilization of its financial instruments:

i.credit risk
ii.foreign exchange rate risk
iii.interest rate risk
iv.price risk
v.liquidity risk

The Company, through Randon, has a Currency Hedge Policy, prepared by the Planning and Finance Committee and approved by the Executive Officers. The purpose of the policy is to standardize the procedures of the group Companies, in order to define responsibilities and limits in transactions involving currency hedge, reducing the effects of foreign currency exchange rates on the inflows in foreign currency projected by the cash flow, without speculative purposes.

The basis used is the cash flow in foreign currency projected monthly for the following twelve months, based on the Strategic Plan projections or on the current expectation of each group Company. If considered necessary, the instruments used are conservative and previously approved by the same committee. During the seven-month period ended July 31, 2013 and for the years ended December 31, 2012, and 2011 the Company did not enter into any transactions involving derivative financial instruments.

a.
Credit risk

Credit risk arises from the possibility of a counterparty not fulfilling its obligation, which would cause financial loss. In the course of its operations, the Company is exposed to the credit risk as a result of its operating activities, arising mainly on trade receivables.

The Company's sales policies are contingent on the credit policies defined by Management and are intended to minimize possible problems arising from the default of its customers. This objective is achieved by Management by means of a strict selection of the customer portfolio, which considers the ability to pay (credit analysis). A customer’s creditworthiness is assessed based on an internal credit rating system. Outstanding trade receivables are frequently monitored. The need for an allowance for impairment losses is analyzed at the end of each reporting period on an individual basis, for the major customers. Additionally, receivables lower that the allowance are collective tested.

Sales concentration
In the seven-month period ended July 31, 2013, three customers individually accounted for more than 10% of sales, with shares of 28.1% (27.2 % in 2012 and 26.1% in 2011), 22.3% (26.4% in 2012 and 20.6% in 2011), and 12.4% (11.3% in 2012 and 10.7% in 2011) of the net revenues each, equivalent to R$ 160,090 (R$ 198,921 in 2012 and R$ 304,924 in 2011), R$ 127,373 (R$ 192,717 in 2012 and R$ 240,180 in 2011), and R$ 70,682 (R$ 82,490 in 2012 and R$ 124,732 in 2011). The first and third customers are related parties. Other Company sales in domestic and foreign markets are diluted and there is no sales concentration in a percentage above 10% for any other customer.

b.
Foreign exchange rate risk

The Company’s results are exposed to fluctuations due to the effects of the exchange rate volatility on assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies, mainly the US dollar, which closed the seven-month period ended July 31, 2013 with a negative fluctuation of 12.08% (positive fluctuation of 8.9% as at December 31, 2012).

The Company is exposed to currency risk (foreign exchange risk) on sales, purchases and borrowings that are denominated in a currency other than the Company’s functional currency, the Brazilian real.

The Company’s net exposure to foreign exchange rate risk at the end of the reporting period is as follows:

c.
Interest rate risk

The Company’s results are exposed to significant fluctuations due to borrowings and financing contracted at floating interest rates.

The Company does not have derivative financial instruments to manage its exposure to interest rates.

Pursuant to its financial policies, the Company has not entered into any transactions involving financial instruments for speculative purposes.

The interest rates on the Company’s borrowings and financing are disclosed in note 10-Borrowings and Financing.

d.
Price risk

Arises from the possibility of fluctuations in the market prices of products sold or produced by the Company and of other inputs used in the production process. These price fluctuations may cause substantial changes in the Company’s revenues and costs. In order to mitigate these risks, the Company conducts an ongoing monitoring of local and foreign markets, seeking to anticipate price movements. The Company has not contracted any financial instruments to hedge against fluctuations in its raw materials’ prices.

e.
Liquidity risk

The table below details the remaining contractual maturity of the Company’s liabilities and the contractual amortization periods. The table was prepared using the undiscounted cash flows of the financial liabilities based on the nearest date on which the Company can be required to make the related payment. The table includes interest and principal cash flows. As the interest flows refer to floating rates, the undiscounted was obtained based on the interest curves at the end of the reporting period. Contractual maturity is based on the first date the Company can be required to pay the related obligations.

RETIREMENT BENEFIT PLAN

The Company is the co-sponsor of the pension fund RANDONPREV, together with other Randon companies, whose benefit plan is a defined contribution plan under the financial capitalization regime, with some supplementations of benefits for employees, not covered by the defined benefits. This minimum benefit is defined based on a percentage of the nominal salary per annum worked for the Company, credited in a lump sum at the beneficiary’s account with RANDONPREV. The latest valuation of the plan assets and of the present value of the minimum benefit was performed at December 31, 2012 using the projected unit credit method and the determined balance of R$ 1,071 as at December 31, 2012 (R$ 761 as at December 31, 2011), corresponding to the Company’s benefit, is recorded in assets. Part of this amount refers to the credit of the special reserves that can be amortized from future contributions, at any time, as from January 2013, without the need for previous analysis and authorization from Previc. In the seven-month period ended July 31, 2013, the amortized amount was R$ 185, remaining a balance of R$ 886 recorded in assets.
