 The Company has incorporated a Wholly Owned Subsidiary - Kirloskar
 Systech Limited on August 9, 2010.  Kirloskar Systech Limited is
 primarily engaged in system engineering, designing and support
 services.
 
 During the year, the Company has transferred its 100% shares of two of
 the subsidiary companies viz.  Pressmatic Electro Stampings Private
 Limited (PESPL), Quadromatic Engineering Private Limited (QEPL) to its
 another wholly owned subsidiary Hematic Motors Private Limited (HMPL).
 Further, a Scheme of Amalgamation of Companys step down subsidiaries,
 PESPL and QEPL with Companys wholly owned subsidiary - HMPL was filed
 with the Honourable Bombay High Court by the said companies.
 
 The same has been approved by the Honourable Court vide its orders
 dated April 8, 2011 and the scheme has been made effective on April 25,

 Wholly Owned Subsidiary Kirloskar Brothers (Thailand) Limited (KBTL) to
 its other Wholly Owned Subsidiary - Kirloskar Brothers International
 B.V (KBI) Netherlands. However, due to negative valuation of KBTL
 shares, KBL has transferred the shares at nil value and accounted for
 the loss on the transfer. Thus, KBTL ceased to be the direct subsidiary
 company of KBL.
 
 The performance of the domestic and overseas subsidiary companies has
 been good, except in respect of a few subsidiary companies. The company
 is in the process of aligning the operations of its subsidiary
 companies.

 companies.  On February 8, 2011 the Government of India, Ministry of
 Corporate Affairs vide General Circular No.  2/2011, granted general
