Annual Report 2013 03
this past year, we focused intensely on preparations for changes which we
will put into effect this year - 2014.
With our new interpretation of vision and mission as well as establishment of
a clear and sustainable strategy extending to 2025, we will further expand
our position as international partner to the automotive industry with innovative
material competency for customized function and module solutions for
reduction of emissions.
It is part of our identity and mission to be – and remain – an owner-operated
enterprise. This is also what our customers appreciate: personal contacts,
shareholders‘ positive commitment, and direct communication channels. We
are proud of our autonomy and the people who understand this and who are
totally committed to make sure this doesn‘t change.
We interact extensively with our customers to permanently develop new,
innovative and trend-setting component parts.
From the very beginning of environmental awareness and so-called Green
technologies, Veritas has been cooperating with its partners for designing
and engineering hybrid and hydrogen-powered vehicles, electric powertrains
and gas-propelled cars.
However, combustion engines still have the most sophistication potential!
A new production plant will allocate the major share of its resources and
facilities to post-treatment of exhaust gases. A number of components is
put together to form the SCR fuel tank. This principle of Selective Catalyst
Reduction is an important contribution towards reduction of harmful
emissions. This process reduces to a minimum the toxic pollutants
generated during combustion.
Structural components are built in another corporate unit. Completed
successful R&D projects verify to us that expansion of lightweight
engineering and our competency in this sector are trendsetting and
forward-looking prospects.
04 Veritas connects ! People, products, functions.
Highly-sophisticated engineering work and creative ideas paired with technical know-how have put Veritas in a leading position in the domain of
resource-efficient reduction of emissions. Our engineers, technicians and
business-administration experts have concerned themselves in such detail
with this issue that the renowned Moderne Industrie publishing company
in cooperation with Veritas has published a book on SCR in its series
“Bibliothek der Technik”. This comes as a follow-up to our first publication
Automotive Fuel Lines. Of course we recommend this book warmly to all
readers concerned with or interested in this technology.
We owe all this to our employees‘ commitment and know-how, for which we
would like to express our profound gratitude!
In order to preserve and promote our employees‘ health, vitality and motivation, we officially installed a health management program this past year. Be it
business-related or of private nature, if there is any need for consultation or
active assistance, we will make such support available to our staff. Our assistance encompasses compatibility of family and work, nursing care for family
members or day-time child care.
We do all this because we are convinced that it‘s to the customers‘ benefit
and satisfaction if our employees enjoy going to work and are committed to
fulfilling their assignments. Employee satisfaction is customer satisfaction!
So then “Let‘s all roll up our sleeves!”

A brief look at Mexico‘s automotive history:
Mexico – from Beetle Territory
to Automotive Powerhouse
Mexico is a country with an eventful past: up into the 16th century, it was ruled by indigenous Aztec and Maya nations, then conquered by Spanish invaders, who named it
Viceroyality of New Spain. In
1821, Mexico gained independence from its former motherland
Spain. The country‘s automotive
history is just as eventful: the first
motorcars were imported to Mexico at
the beginning of the 20th century, at that time
of course for the upper classes. Only the advent of
the VW Beetle allowed average wage earners to buy
their own car. And this is something both Mexico and Germany
have in common, because Germany gained its post-war mobility also with the help of the
VW Beetle: in the economic boom in Western Germany in the 50s and 60s of the past
century.
In late November 1954, seven VW Beetles competed in the infamous Carrera
Panamericana. Actually the last edition of this rally, which was then scratched
for safety reasons. The Beetles didn‘t really win any trophies, but they all made
it over the finishing line. Certainly not something all participating cars accomplished, but instead really a remarkable performance and an image-booster for
the VW Beetle in Mexico.
The Mexican Beetles history thus began in the mid-1950s. The Republic of
Mexico at that time had 30 million inhabitants with a total of only 500,000 motor
vehicles; passenger cars were considered almost an extravagant luxury. The
Volkswagen Mexicana company imported the first Beetles to the country, which
proved such a large success that Volkswagen finally decided to open a production plant in Mexico.
NATURE – MAN – SOCIETY – ECONOMY
In terms of geography, climate, society structure and economics, Mexico is
a country of extreme contrasts. While the average daytime temperature is at
27°C owing to the proximity to the equator, the mountain tops are covered
with snow all year round. In the south and along the coasts, air is muggy and
humid, while it is dry in the northern parts of the country. As a consequence,
Mexico‘s nature is very multifaceted, and the country is one of twelve countries
distinguished as so-called biodiversity hotspots.
200,000 diverse animal species are at home in Mexico, which amounts to
between 10 and 12 percent of all species on earth. Mexico‘s population today
is at some 115 million. A share of the country‘s inhabitants lives in the country, where they subsist on what they can grow for their own personal needs.
There is a very distinct income gap: while the top-earning 10% of population
gain 40% of the entire income, the poorest ten percent earn only 1.1 percent.
However, there are programs in effect to overcome poverty, and increasing
industrialization is growing the country‘s middle-class.
The New York Times, July 3, 1938
How the Beetle got its name
The German denomination “Käfer” was
reimported to Germany from the US,
where the car was dubbed “Beetle” or
“Bug”. In the »New York Times« of 3rd
July 1938, the name “bug” is possibly
used for the first time (“ smooth motor
highways with thousands and thousands of shiny little beetles purring
along”.
In Germany, the designation became
popular only in the 1960s. The car is
named “bug” in various languages, e.g.
Coccinelle (ladybeetle) in France and
Maggiolino (May beetle) in Italy. But
there are other names as well: Swedes
call it Bubbla (bubble), Poles refer to it
as Garbus (hunchback), and a popular
name in Mexico is Vocho, probably a
fond diminutive of Volkswagencito.
While the average age in Germany is at approximately 45 years and the country is facing severe demographical problems, the population in Mexico is much
younger with an average age of 27 years. Mexico has a high share of young
population, but the education system leaves a lot open to desire. There aren’t
enough teachers available to educate and instruct children, and many of these
originating from low-income families drop out of school early to contribute to
family income. As a consequence, there’s a considerable skills shortage in
Mexico.
Mexico is a federal presidential constitutional republic, its president has considerable powers and authority to act similar to the president of the United States
of America.
Enrique Peña Nieto has been president of the United Mexican States since
December 1, 2012. He has been driving reforms aimed at generating higher
economic growth, which is vital to solve the country’s social deficits. These reforms are beginning to bear fruit: in February of this year, the US-rating agency
Moody‘s promoted Mexico to the highest credit rating class “A”. Mexico, next to
Chile, is thus the only Latin American country in this category.
Forecasts for Mexico’s economy are positive, with exports as prime driver of
economic growth. The country already now is exporting more industrial goods
than the entire remainder of Latin America together. It is above all the automotive industry and its suppliers who are generating excellent results and experiencing consistent growth. The largest car-manufacturer plants in Mexico are
operated by Ford, General Motors, Nissan, and Volkswagen. Other sectors
doing well here are the mining industry, air and space travel, pharmaceutics and
medico-engineering, electronics and transport.
One major asset the country has as economic partner is its free-trade agreements with over 40 states, more than any other country in the world. Its partners
include the US and Europe. These free-trade agreements eliminate barriers to
unrestricted trade between countries, for example duties and customs charges.
Other Mexican assets are low labor costs and a comparatively sound infrastructure. Considerable investments are planned here in the near future, particularly
the upgrading of ports and railway networks to keep astride with the expansion
of production capacities.
One weakness Mexico has is its high degree of dependency upon the US markets. More than 75% of all Mexican exports go to its neighbor in the north. As
a consequence, slumps in the US economy have considerable direct impact on
the Mexican economy. Mexico therefore plans to decrease this dependency and
to increase business relations to other countries. As Mexico borders both on the
Pacific and the Atlantic Ocean, it is an attractive export platform to America as
well as Asia and Europe as well.
AUTOMOTIVE INDUSTRY
The automotive sector generates between three and four percent of the Mexican gross domestic product with a share of 18% of the entire producing industry and 23% of the entire export volume. In the past years, Mexico has grown
into the world’s fourth-largest car exporting country and the eighth-largest car
manufacturing base.
The US market is currently registering strong demand for automobiles, and
the Mexican automotive industry is booming as a consequence. This is clearly
substantiated by current investments into new plants and capacity expansions:
Honda (annual capacity 200,000 units), Mazda (230,000), Nissan (175,000)
and Chrysler/Fiat (60,000) also provide considerable impetus to the supplier
industry. The supplier association anticipates that another 300 to 400 automotive suppliers will set up base here in the second half of 2013 and throughout
2014. Other car manufacturers with plans to open production plants in Mexico
are BMW, Mercedes Benz, and Hyundai. BMW announced in February 2014 its
intentions to set up a full-fledged plant with car-body manufacturing in Mexico.
Construction work is scheduled to commence already in 2014. Expectations are
that the additional production capacities in 2014 (approx. 900,000 passenger
cars) in the coming years will hike the volume of manufactured automobiles to
around 3.5 million to reach 4.1 million units in 2020.
MOTOR CITY PUEBLA
Construction work is underway in Puebla for the first Audi plant in Mexico. Production of some 150,000 units per year of the next Q5 generation is scheduled
to start in 2016. And Audi isn’t the only car manufacturer deciding for Puebla.
Its parent company Volkswagen has been producing automobiles here since
1964; this was the last site throughout the entire world to produce VW Beetles.
Production of the new Golf A7 is scheduled to start in Puebla in mid-2014. The
proximity to so many car manufacturers has prompted numerous suppliers to
set up their business in Puebla as well. Other factors in favor of this city are its
central location and good infrastructure, there’s a motorway nearby and railway
lines to the port in Veracruz. On top of that, Puebla isn’t too far off from Mexico
City.
The Popocatepetl volcano (Aztec for smoking mountain) is located approximately 40 km from the city of Puebla; it is referred to
by Mexicans as „El Popo“. The volcano is active and smoke can
be seen constantly emanating from the crater. The most recent
major eruption by the 5452 meter volcano occurred in 2000.
AUTOMOTIVE VERITAS de MEXICO
In 1998, Veritas shifted its focus to the Mexican market beginning with a 50:50
joint venture in Puebla. Initially, our staffers assembled our products in a leased
hall, the products were then directly delivered to Volkswagen de México in
Puebla. We later took over the entire plant and built new assembly facilities. We
currently have more than 300 employees on our Mexican payroll.
Stricter carbon legislature in compliance with US regulations was passed in
August 2013; it will gradually come into effect from 2014 through 2016. These
regulations are augmented further by car manufacturers and automotive suppliers, who call for material competency for customized function and module
solutions for effective reduction of emissions.
Our plant AVM in Puebla is part of a dynamically expanding Mexican automobile
industry. It intersects between sales markets in the Americas as lateral axle on
one side as well as Europe in the east and Asia in the west on the other – with
systems supplied by Veritas!

optimization, AdBlue® storage for SCR systems, and cooling. Veritas in cooperation with Moderne Industrie publishing company released a book on SCR
fuel tank and conduit systems, thus making our expertise in post-treatment of
exhaust gases available to the interested public.
II. ECONOMIC REVIEW
Progress of business transactions and particular economic
environment
Production growth rates in the emerging economies were down even more than
in the advanced ones. In addition to a lack of impulses from the demand side of
advanced economies, it is obvious that fundamental growth trends were hampered by problems inherent to domestic economies.
Prospects for the global economy are brighter. The factors that have burdened
the worldwide business community throughout the past two years have
Annual Financial
Statements
The euro region as before feels the effects of the economic crisis. The national
governments of the euro countries have put into effect various sets of laws to
overcome the financial crisis and to prevent reoccurrence of the turmoil caused
by the finance industry. The recession lasting altogether six quarters was finally
overcome in the summer period, even if economic revival was yet very cautious.
Annotations
Last year’s outlook as relates to advanced national economies provided to be
correct, in particular as relates to the United States. The clash between political
parties about the US budget policies gave rise to considerable uncertainties and
as a consequence smothered growth tendencies.
Satus Report
A brief look at the global economy
The global economy recovered only gradually at the beginning of 2013, but
picked up speed in the course of the year. As a consequence, the gross domestic product was 2.9% higher than the year before, slightly less than the growth
registered in 2012 (3.1%).
decreased in significance. In the United States, consolidation in the private sector
has progressed considerably; political agreements on budgets and national debts
are discernible. In Europe, the implemented structural measures within the singlecurrency region are taking effect, which has led to households and businesses
developing a higher degree of confidence in the future. In respect of threshold
countries, expectations are that the positive trend in economic growth registered
in the second half of 2013 will continue based upon the fact that the financial
market turbulences had been overcome in mid 2013.
The increase in global production in 2014 should be distinctly higher (3.7%) than
in 2013. For 2015, expectations are that global production will even grow at a rate
of 4.0 percent. (Source: Institut für Weltwirtschaft, Kiel)
A brief look at the automotive industry
In Western Europe, sales of new cars in the first six months of 2013 were still
almost 7% lower than in the prior period. A turnaround was registered in the second half of the year: sales increased by 4%. The overall year was closed with 13.2
million new cars sold, a minus of about 2%.
Sales figures were also down in Brazil, Russia and India.
The situation was different in China: for the entire year of 2013, registration of new
cars exceeded the preceding year’s showing by almost 14%. Total sales of new
cars was at 22.0 million units.
The US market also registered distinct growth rates with an increase of more than
7%. A total of 15.9 million new cars sold – passenger cars and light trucks – is the
best result achieved since 2007.
This trend is depicted in the following chart displaying the total number of new
registrations of motor vehicles – passenger cars and utility vehicles:

In particular additional administration manpower needs in Gelnhausen contributed to a rise in personnel expenditure quota. Start-up of the new branch sites
in Neustadt in Saxony (D) and Sarajevo (BiH) as well as Kunshan (PR China) also
brought additional financial burdens. The material expenditure quota as well as
other operational expenditures in comparison with the overall performance were
at the prior year’s level.

Satus Report
The notes regarding the financial position of the Veritas Group essentially also
apply to Veritas AG. The results of Veritas AG in the prior year were influenced
by write-ups on participations and accounts receivable in amount of K ¤ 7,575.
The Group’s internationalization program and the expansion of production and
process environment for injection moulding with establishment of the branch
site Saxony brought with it an unchanged high investment quota in business
years 2012 and 2013. Nevertheless, the investment quota is down as compared
with the prior year, which is particularly attributable to lower investments in
financial assets.
New bilateral financing loans worth K ¤ 5,000 were raised in 2013. In addition,
financing requirements led to increased drawing on the syndicated loan. Repayments of credits and profit participation credits were made in almost identical
amounts.

Net worth position Veritas Group
Satus Report
The Veritas AG’s subsidiaries in Bosnia and Herzegovina and the People’s Republic of China were for the first time in 2013 fully consolidated into the Group’s
financial statement.
While the increase in current assets is caused by higher accounts receivable as
well as increased bank balances, the rise in liabilities is driven in particular by
accounts payable and increased drawing on the syndicated loan.
Veritas AG’s net asset development significantly impacts the Veritas Group’s asset development. The notes regarding the Veritas Group also apply analogously
to Veritas. On December 31, 2013, Veritas AG reported an equity ratio of 31.9%.

Summarizing qualification of net assets, financial position,
and results of operations
In spite of the lower profitability in business year 2013, the capital-to-assets ratio
is to a large extent unchanged at more than 28%. Our medium-range objective
is to further increase the capital-to-assets ratio and to sustainably stabilize the
assets and financial position.

At the close of the business year, it became obvious that the key financial figures
of the Poppe-Veritas Group were not going to be satisfied, also due to the operational development of the subgroup company Poppe also covered by the syndicated credit agreement, and that the credit agreement needed to be renegotiated.
All consortium partners agreed to adaption of the credit agreement.
Annotations
Financing measures and projects
In March 2013, negotiations for an adapted syndicated credit were brought to a
successful conclusion. An extension of the syndicated loan to 2018 was agreed
with the consortium banks. In addition to doubling the original credit line, Veritas
also managed to arrange for the setting for further growth with a number of credit
options embedded in the agreement.
Satus Report
Non-financial performance indicators
Environmental protection
Veritas since 2002 has had a certified environment management system in
effect in accordance with DIN EN ISO 14001. Next to internal assessment and
monitoring of legal requirements, Veritas’s activities are thus additionally also
reviewed and assessed by external agencies.
By way of our internal legal assessments, we reduce the risk of being faced with
unanticipated financial and technical burdens. For 2014, we do not anticipate
any environmentally relevant legal changes implemented by the European Union
or the German government which might have major effects upon the Veritas
Group. Any major legal changes will most probably relate to the energy consumption sector.
Expenditures for energy as well as disposal of sewage and waste will rise consistently. In order to increase energy efficiency and to continue to be eligible for
tax refunds, work has commenced in the German sites of the Poppe-Veritas
Group for installation of an energy management system in accordance with DIN
EN ISO 50001. The energy management system will be entirely installed and
certified by 2015.
The Veritas AG site in Gelnhausen is located in a category III potable water protection zone. We have taken into account all required measures in context with
potentially water-contaminating hazardous chemicals.
Logistics
The almost identical sales level also this past business year facilitated further
optimization of inventory structures as well as improvement of delivery performances. This was further augmented by other measures such as automation
processes, for example in application of existing and new customs laws and
other statutory requirements.
Efficient allocation of logistics resources to the diverse sites as well as the
invitation to bid for all freight transactions contributed to lowering logistics costs.
Production
In the first six months of 2013, production in the Veritas subgroup progressed as
planned. In the second half, call-off frequency increased, which in some sectors
on a regular basis required assignment of additional shifts. Above all the Thermo
Management product group experienced demand exceeding expectations.
The Veritas Sachsen GmbH plant is in the start-up phase and is required to
manage a large number of new products. These new start-ups and the ongoing efficiency improvement activities over the medium term will have positive
effects.
Revenue creation is being consistently improved at the plant in Sarajevo/Bosnia
and Herzegovina. This relieves the burden upon the site at Dunakiliti in Hungary,
where further improvements in the internal material flow can be implemented.
Procurement market
In 2013, the entire Veritas Group purchased materials and services including
investments worth approximately ¤ 440 million.
The demand level in the first half of 2013 on all markets was comparable to that
in 2012; demand then rose steeply starting in August.
All prices with the exception of those for energy-intensive products and services
decreased slightly. Lesser allocation problems also caused the prices on the
polymeric market to relax distinctly.
Annual Financial
Statements
Start-ups, production peaks and conversions in production were accomplished
only due to the very high degree of commitment displayed by staff and senior
executives.
Annotations
The AVM plant in Puebla/Mexico was able to benefit from positive economic
trends in the NAFTA economic zone. The launch of injection-moulding production and new products in the Thermo Management product group has proven
successful.
Satus Report
Efforts to raise value-adding abilities at the Chinese plant are meeting with success. New orders have brought a considerable increase in utilization rate and
indicate an overall promising development.
However, energy prices at the Gelnhausen site are up by around 14% as compared to the year before.
Veritas owes it to efficient supplier management and planning intensity that the
average raw material stock is now approximately 15% smaller than before without any risks to supply to production.
Veritas shift in focus on development and production of innovative and highlycomplex injection moulding systems continued in 2013, and the procurement
volume of injection-moulding tools, machinery and linked systems accordingly
continued rising as well.
Ever shorter vehicle development periods require strict allocation of existing
procurement volumes to more capacities. In 2013, we took a major step in this
direction by joining new partnerships in the domains of moulding-injection as
well as bending forms technology.
Personnel and social services
Owing to the positive economic situation of the automotive market and accordingly high production volumes called-off by our customers, personnel resources
at all Veritas sites were built-up by way of new hirings as well as increased use
of temporary employees, primarily in the direct revenue creating domain.
To be able to react flexibly to these market requirements, additional shifts and
extra work were routine at all Veritas plants. We were able to put all this into
effect only due to our entire staff’s considerable commitment and our various
works councils’ willingness to cooperate.
The plant guarantee agreement in effect since 2005 for the Gelnhausen site was
extended for another two years through December 31, 2014 in a tariff agreement concluded between the employers’ association of the German rubber
processing industry and the competent union IG BCE.
In view of our society’s demographic development and to support our personnel
strategy, which has its focus on making available skills, know-how and abilities
in the future, we admitted on September 1, 2013, altogether 30 new apprentices
and student trainees for altogether 13 different qualified vocations and study
courses. Our objective is to increase interaction between the training and qualification activities at the German subsidiaries. On annual average in 2013, Veritas
had 55 apprentices and student trainees in its ranks (prior year: 55).
In the year under review, the Veritas group workforce grew from 3,568 to 3,701
employees, with 3,646 employees on annual average (prior year: 3,573). This
workforce increase comes in context with expansion of production of complex
injection-moulding parts for the automotive industry at Veritas Sachsen GmbH,
Neustadt in Sachsen, with expansion of production to prepare for new processes at Automotive Veritas de México, as well as with production start-ups in the
plants at Sarajevo (Bosnia and Herzegovina) and Kunshan (PR China).

companies:
III. SUPPLEMENTARY REPORT
Significant activities after the close of the business year
We refer to item 5a Non-financial performance indicators, financing activities
and plans. After the close of business year 2013, there were no extraordinary
occurrences affecting net assets, financial position, and results of operations of
Veritas AG and the group companies.
IV. REPORT ON PROBABLE DEVELOPMENT WITH POTENTIAL RISKS
AND OPPORTUNITIES
For 2014, we again anticipate differing developments on markets. We expect the
Asian market, in particular China, and the NAFTA region to show growth tendencies. Even though confidence in the European markets has risen, we anticipate merely lateral development trends in 2014 and not any distinct growth.
Concomitant with our expectations for market development, we anticipate for
business year 2014 sales increases of between 5% and 6% as opposed to
2013. This will be marked by more Veritas activities on the growth markets and
securing jobs by increasing exports from Germany.
Irrespective of positive sales and market developments and trends, Veritas is
concerned with enforcing measures to further reduce costs; these will be successively implemented throughout 2014.
Our procurement function anticipates diverging development of markets, with
prices on the whole expected to move laterally. Regional effects or singular
trends for particular polymers cannot be entirely excluded.
Owing to massive increases of EEG reallocation charges, energy prices will
again rise significantly in 2014. We will not be able to compensate for this trend
even by successively converting to more efficient manufacturing processes.
In consideration of the sales structure, cost-improvement measures taken as
well as anticipated acquisition prices, we anticipate an EBIT-margin in 2014 of
more than 2.0%.
Risk management
Veritas has installed a risk management system throughout the entire group
which is consistently sophisticated and adapted to new parameters and conditions and is designated to identify, analyze, document and reduce significant
and potentially dangerous risks to Veritas at an early stage to allow us to take
appropriate countermeasures in due time. Veritas management and the risk
committee are responsible for the risk management policy. In the scope of longterm planning, both operative measures as well as strategic options are contemplated, they are integrated into the monthly reporting function, and are thus an
important element of risk management.
Veritas meets this challenge with intensified basic research and new product
lines, thus generating a variety of technical innovations. These innovative products, systems, and processes require a large amount of resource input in terms
of development costs and investments, which is of course also a significant
financial risk.
Annual Financial
Statements
At the same time, an ever-increasing range of new models is being launched to
the markets in ever-shorter intervals, price pressure and competitiveness in the
automotive supplier industry is growing consistently.
Annotations
General economic risks, industry risks
Macro-economic aspects have not changed in comparison with the past year,
the automotive industry is more than ever before technical leader in various
market segments. For suppliers to that industry, this implies that these need to
consistently adapt to technological trends and novelties, changing environmental and safety requirements, alternative fuels and propulsion systems as well as
new trends and developments in electronics.
Satus Report
The supervisory board monitors and audits the effectiveness of this system and
its effects and is integrated in the monthly information system.
Veritas made its short and medium-term investments, particularly those in
Mexico and the People’s Republic of China, in view of the fact that the automobile market in Europe is stagnant. Nevertheless, considerable investments are
still being made in Germany. These investments in the Veritas Group’s foreign
subsidiaries are of course also considerable risks, even if taking into account
that these overseas markets are anticipated to grow consistently. However, the
medium and long-term objective is to develop new markets and customers. This
strategy gives Veritas the option of expanding from a solid basis.
Veritas’s location policy in the past years has taken into account the fact that the
most significant growth of passenger-car markets in absolute terms will be registered in The Americas and China. While more traditional brands will dominate
in America, particularly in the NAFTA market, an entirely new market is developing in the PR China with European OEMs and/or the joint-venture partners. Further potential lies in cooperation with local automobile suppliers. For Veritas, this
is a unique opportunity to generate growth in new markets. Forecasts anticipate
more than 28 million cars to be built in China in 2018. Even only a slight market
penetration would offer exciting opportunities to Veritas.
Setting up local production and establishing a local supply chain provide
interesting synergies and scale effects. Veritas AG’s global activities as a consequence also strengthen operations in Europe, thus improving the entire group’s
brand presence.
Dependent upon suppliers
2013 was a split year in automotive terms, and Veritas is facing 2014 with confidence. This year bears considerable potential with an order situation stabilizing
on the demand level of the second half of 2013 and the launch of new products. The estimations of procurement markets are conditional upon the financial
situation in Europe stabilizing further and the overall operational conditions, in
particular in Germany, not deteriorating due to wage increases or rising energy
costs.
Energy costs in Germany will continue to rise distinctly in 2014 owing to massive increases of EEG reallocation charges. We will be able to compensate for
this trend only in part by successively converting to more efficient manufacturing
processes. We are confident that overall cost prices will remain at current level
in spite of rising labor and energy costs suffered by suppliers. Regional effects
or singular trends for particular polymers cannot be entirely excluded.
All activities of Veritas procurement stand to benefit from our presence in foreign
countries as well as certification of local suppliers, optimization of transport and
handling costs and bundling of international potentials in terms of cost prices.
Finance markets again failed to stabilize in 2013. Even though confidence in
finance markets has risen again in Europe, the clash between political parties
about the US budget policies gave rise to considerable irritations on global
finance markets. Stability of the European currency system is still being discussed.
Annual Financial
Statements
Financial risks
As international automotive supplier, the Veritas group is active in various currency zones and is thus also subject to exchange-rate risks. In order to reduce
financial risks arising from exchange-rate fluctuations, we have applied adequate
hedging tools to secure foreign currency positions and will continue to rely on
pertinent derivatives.
Annotations
We minimize general exchange-rate risks to every extent possible by closing
deals either in US dollars or Euros or, where applicable, in the local currency.
Separate hedging of the productive material needed in Kunshan, PR China, will
probably be required for the first in 2014.
Satus Report
Hedging against raw-material price developments is difficult to apply, as the
starting substances of our materials have frequently been processed to an extent where there is no longer any correlation between starting substances and
end product.
We assume as before that tensions on the finance markets may also have negative effects on financing of the Veritas Group.
The interest market has been low for some time, which is currently to the benefit
of Veritas as creditor. Any fluctuations of the EURIBOR interest rates may lead
to a higher interest burden for Veritas, even if the Group applies derivatives to
counter risks associated to fluctuating interest rates.
We have taken out trade credit insurances against defaulting claims against customers.
We refer to the annotations in the annex as relates to the risks associated with
liability relations and derivatives.
The Poppe-Veritas Group, and thus also Veritas, in accordance with bilateral
credit agreements and the syndicated credit loan must comply with financial
key indicators in effect at specified cut-off dates. As of the balance sheet date
December 31, 2013, a total of ¤ 43.8 million of the available credit line had not
been made use of.
Assessment of risks
In order to cover our finance needs, we must be in compliance with financial
key indicators. Based upon measures taken to improve profitability, a positive
revenue development is anticipated.
However, risks based on overall economical and industry-specific factors and
influences may have negative effects upon the group’s net worth, earnings,
and financial position. Political risks may have direct or indirect effects upon the
corporate group.
V. Relations to affiliated companies
The executive board in compliance with § 312 sec. 3 AktG states that our
company gained fair and reasonable consideration for each legal transaction.
This assessment is based upon the circumstances known to us at the time of
accountable transactions. No accountable transactions were put into effect or
omitted in the year under review.

NOTES TO THE ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
VERITAS AG AND VERITAS GROUP
I. Financial Reporting
General Explanations
The annual financial statement for Veritas AG and the consolidated financial
statement 2013 were prepared in compliance with the regulations in the HGB
(German Commercial Code) and German stock corporation law.
The details required for explanation of the balance sheet and the income statement in essence have been stated in the notes. The aggregate cost method was
chosen for the income statement.
The first consolidated financial statement was made effective December 31,
1999.
Consolidation scope
Consolidation scope Veritas Group
Veritas AG, Gelnhausen
Veritas Dunakiliti Verbindungstechnik Kft., Dunakiliti/Hungary
Veritas Thüringen GmbH, Benshausen
Automotive Veritas de México S. A. de C. V., Puebla / Mexico
Veritas Servicios, S.A. de C.V. (indirect holding of securities)
Veritas Austria GmbH, Mieders / Austria
Veritas Otomotiv Sanayi Ltd. Sti., Cerkezköy-Tekirdag / Turkey
Veritas Sachsen GmbH, Neustadt in Sachsen
The annual financial statement is incomparable to the prior year such that the
two subsidiaries Veritas Automotive Bosna i Hercegovina d.o.o., Sarajevo and
Veritas Automotive System (Kunshan) Co. Ltd., PR China, were for the first time
integrated in the consolidated financial statement.
Subsidiaries of secondary significance
Himmelauer Mühle Verwaltungsgesellschaft mbH, Gelnhausen
Himmelauer Mühle Baugesellschaft mbH & Co.KG, Gelnhausen
Veritas USA Corporation, Detroit/USA
Veritas Medizintechnik GmbH, Halberstadt
Relief fund for employees of Veritas AG in Gelnhausen e.V., Gelnhausen
The economic activities of these companies in the 2013 business year in consideration of § 296 sec. 2 HGB were of secondary importance for fair assessment
of the group’s financial position and results of operations due to their impact on
the amount of assets, income and expenses.
Consolidation principles
Before implementation of BilMoG, capital consolidation was effected according to the book value method. The purchase method of accounting has been
applied since 2010. The initial consolidation of Veritas Automotive System
(Kunshan) Co. Ltd., PR China as well as Veritas Automotive Bosna i Hercegovina
d.o.o., Sarajevo showed a debit difference for each entity.
778
The item was posted as goodwill under Intangible assets and will be linearly
depreciated over a period of five years.
The currencies applied in annual financial statements prepared by the included
subsidiaries were converted to the reporting currency on the basis of the modified balance-sheet date exchange rate method. All items with the exception of
equity capital were valuated at the currency conversion rate applicable at the
balance-sheet date. Expenditures and revenues stated in the income statement
of the subsidiaries were converted at average market price.
In compliance with §304 sec. 1 HGB, there were eliminations of intercompany
profits and losses in inventories worth K ¤ 146.
Balancing and valuation procedures
Valuation in the group was based on concurring principles. Options to choose
cost or market valuation were exercised specifically in concurrence with the
parent company’s statements. Acquired intangible assets were carried at
acquisition cost and are depreciated according to the straight-line method
of depreciation.

Satus Report
K ¤
Veritas Automotive System (Kunshan) Co., Ltd., PR China
Tangible fixed assets were estimated at acquisition or production costs. Additions are usually depreciated according to the pro rata temporis method of depreciation. Acquisition costs encompass the cost of acquisition, ancillary costs
as well as reductions of purchase price.
The useful life and depreciation rates are based on the official depreciation
tables and the depreciation tables of the rubber industry. Assets with an acquisition value of less than ¤150 net are recognized as an expense in full in the year
they are entered. Assets with an acquisition value between ¤150 and ¤1,000 net
are pooled in an account and are depreciated over 5 years. Financial assets are
valuated at acquisition costs or with their lower value at the reporting date.
Inventory stocks are valuated at their acquisition or production costs or at lower
current value. Production costs in addition to unit costs also encompass appropriate shares of manufacturing and material costs as well as depreciation of
assets. Raw materials and supplies of identical quality from different purchases
are estimated at weighted average price in compliance with § 240 sec. 4 HGB.
If the most recent acquisition price was under the weighted average price on the
balance-sheet date, depreciations were made as of the last acquisition price.
Deductions have been made to account for reductions in value.
Receivables and other assets are estimated at their nominal value. Individual
risks have been adequately considered with individual value adjustments. General credit risks have been adequately taken into account by a general bad-debt
provision.
Currency receivables are converted at the rate valid on the day the claim is
entered into the books or at the lower exchange rate valid at the reporting date.
The acquisition-cost principle was applied for currency receivables maturing
after one year.
Accruals encompass expenditures before the balance sheet date which represent costs for a specific period of time after this date.
Obligations from pension commitments were valuated at the fulfillment amount
on the basis of biometric probabilities with the projected unit credit method.
Future wage and pension increases will be taken into account for determination
of the future fulfillment amount. The interest rate publicized by Deutsche
Bundesbank for 15 years remaining term is being applied for discounting.
For pensions paid indirectly, Veritas is liable in the second degree as is derived
from the Gesetz zur Verbesserung der betrieblichen Altersversorgung (company
pension law – BetrAVG). If the applicable assets of the provident fund are insufficient to cover the settlement amount for the pension commitments, Veritas
AG recognizes the deficit cover in the balance-sheet item Pensions and similar
commitments.
Payables in foreign currency have been valuated with the average spot transaction value at the reporting date. The realization principle was applied for
accounts payable due after one year.
II. ANNOTATIONS TO THE BALANCE SHEET
Fixed assets
The development of fixed assets in the 2013 business year is depicted in the
fixed-asset transaction statements for the Veritas Group and Veritas AG.
The income statement includes expenditures for rental and leasing contracts,
in particular for properties and buildings as well as vehicles. A sale-and-leaseback agreement has been concluded for expansion of facilities at the Veritas
Sachsen GmbH plant in Neustadt in Sachsen. In the year under review, the
Annual Financial
Statements
Liabilities have been estimated at their amount repayable.
Annotations
Provisions are made under due consideration of anticipated future price and
cost increases. Provisions with a term of more than one year are discounted
with the appropriate average market interest rate for the past seven business
years determined and publicized by Deutsche Bundesbank.
Satus Report
The other reserves encompass all risks and contingent liabilities discernible at
the time the balance sheet is prepared.
incurred part fabrication costs were posted directly to Inventory assets. At the
time the expansion has been completed, the assets will be sold to the lessor.
The concluded contracts are designated to reduce our financing needs. These
contracts will lead to a rise in our payment obligations. In this context, we refer
to miscellaneous financial obligations.

Veritas AG tax expenditures are higher in comparison to the computed tax
expenses. This is on one side due to cautious valuation of deferred tax assets of
losses carried forward, tax additions, and on the other due to changes in deviations between trade balance sheet and tax balance sheet as relates to accounts
receivable from affiliated companies which were not accrued as deferred tax
assets due to tax relief probably unavailable in the future.
The Group’s tax expenses are higher than the computed tax expenses because
they are influenced in varying degrees by the Veritas AG’s individual financial
statement and by foreign and domestic factors not dependent upon revenue.
Subscribed capital
The capital stock registered on the Commercial Register is unchanged from last
year at K ¤ 12,000. It is structured into 4,000,000 bearer shares.
Net profit for the year
The stated net profit (Veritas AG K ¤ 47,182; Veritas Group K ¤ 49,882) includes
retained profit brought forward of K ¤ 49,969 (Veritas AG) and K ¤ 48,466
(Veritas Group). Of the Veritas AG’s profit carried forward, K ¤ 45,539 are
released for distribution under due consideration of the sums exempt from
distribution.
The special item for investment grants also encompasses governmental
subsidies in amount of K ¤ 101. It will be dissolved upon expiration of the
utility periods of the subsidized investment goods.
Annual Financial
Statements
Special item for investment allowances
and subsidies to fixed assets
The special item for investment grants in the consolidated balance sheet relates
to a non-refundable subsidy by the German federal state of Thuringia (K ¤ 923)
and a non-refundable subsidy by the German federal state of Saxony (K ¤ 3,340)
from funds of the program to improve regional economic structures as well as
subsidies under the Investment Act and federal and state grants from the Republic of Austria and the Austrian state of Tyrol (K ¤ 123).

Satus Report
Other surplus reserves
Other surplus reserves as of December 31, 2013 were unchanged at
K ¤ 11,482 (Veritas Group) and K ¤ 14,470 (Veritas AG).
Provisions for pensions and similar charges
Employees who joined Veritas AG prior to December 1, 1993 are admitted to the
Veritas AG pension scheme, which is covered by adequate reserves for current
pension payments and pension expectancies. The current company pension
system has been closed for new admittances effective December 1, 1993. Entitlements earned after November 2005 are financed by a reinsured relief fund.
The fulfillment amount for pension provisions is K ¤ 19,742. The insurancemathematical parameters are: a discounting rate of 4.88%, a pension trend of
2.0% as well as salary and wage increases of 2.75% per year. A fluctuation rate
was not taken into consideration due to acquired rights. The mortality rate is
based upon the standard values scheme publicized in 2005 by Prof. Dr. Klaus
Heubeck in Cologne.
Pension payments and payments by the relief fund for former employees
amounted to K ¤ 993 in the business year.
Other provisions
For Veritas AG, these essentially encompass provisions for losses from pending

The present values of derivatives in general comply with market or stock-exchange values. The values were determined by finance partners.
The payer swaps and the reverse collar as hedge constitute evaluation units with
appropriate loans being taken up. These credit loans constitute the corresponding underlying transactions. Owing to identical amounts, congruence of terms
and interest rates, the mutual changes in values and payment flows compensate
each other during the terms of the hedging and underlying transactions.
As a consequence, there was no need to set up provisions as of the balancesheet day.
In the scope of interest-risk and foreign-currency-risk management, Veritas AG
in the year under review also applied interest-rate swaps with currency options
as optimization product with defined worst case.

Market valuation was made on the basis of topical market data and application
of standard analysis methods (incl. cash value model, option price models, etc.).
As there is no direct hedging context between existing underlying transactions
for these structured products, formation of valuation units is impossible. Owing
to the positive market values as of the balance-sheet date, there was no need to
establish any provisions for the structured products.
Foreign-currency risks arising in context with highly-probable transactions are
secured by forward contracts per relevant foreign currency. The cash value
and forward exchange rate at final maturity are stated per forward exchange
transaction. The cash value reflects the current market value discounted per the
valuation date.

Product/Type
The aforestated forward exchange transactions in EUR/HUF as hedging instrument each constitute valuation units with the highly-probable corresponding
future foreign-currency needs. Owing to identical amounts and the hedged
prices, the future payment flows will balance each other in 2014. As of the
balance-sheet date there was consequently no need to establish any provisions
irrespective of the positive or negative market value of the EUR/HUF forward
contract.
For the itemized forward exchange transactions in EUR/TRY, valuation units
with the corresponding future foreign-currency needs cannot be formed at
Veritas AG level. The forward exchange transactions in EUR/TRY have a
negative market value as of Dec 31, 2013. Effective the balance-sheet date,
provisions in the Veritas AG’s individual financial statement have been accordingly made in amount of the negative market value of the EUR/TRY forward
exchange transactions.
On the Group level, there is an exchange-rate risk for the currency combination
EUR/TRY. The forward exchange transactions here constitute a valuation unit.
Owing to identical amounts and the hedged prices, the future payment flows will
balance each other in 2014. As a consequence, no provisions in amount of the
negative market value were formed on the Group level.

Exemption clause acc. to § 264 sec. 3 HGB
The following domestic subsidiaries in business year 2013 have entirely or partially made use of the exemption clause in § 264 sec. 3 HGB:
Veritas Thüringen GmbH, Benshausen and
Veritas Sachsen GmbH, Neustadt in Sachsen.
Satus Report
The Veritas Group enters upon liability relations only after diligent assessment
of risks and principally only in conjunction with its own or with its subsidiaries’
business transactions. On the basis of consistent evaluation of the risk situation of the assumed liabilities and under due consideration of the knowledge
gained up to the reporting date, the Veritas Group currently proceeds upon the
assumption that the obligations assumed can be discharged by the respective
principal debtors. The Veritas Group therefore estimates as improbable the risk
of claims being asserted under such co-liability.

Auditor‘s Examination Certificate
We audited the annual financial statements of Veritas AG, Gelnhausen - consisting of balance sheet, income statement, and annotations - together with the
bookkeeping system of Veritas AG and the consolidated financial statement
- consisting of balance sheet, income statement, annotations, flow of funds
analysis, and equity statement - prepared by the company as well as the management reports for both the company and the group for the business year from
January 1 to December 31, 2013. Maintenance of the books and records and
preparation of these annual financial statements and the management report
in accordance with German commercial law are the responsibility of the company‘s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the annual
financial statement, together with the bookkeeping system, and the consolidated financial statement and the management report for both the group and the
company based on our audit.
We conducted our audit of the annual financial statement and the consolidated
financial statement in accordance with §317 HGB (German Commercial Code)
and the generally accepted German standards for the audit of financial statements promulgated by the Institut der Wirtschaftsprüfer IDW. Those standards
require that we plan and perform the audit such that misstatements materially affecting the presentation of the net assets, financial position, and results
of operation in the annual financial statement and the consolidated financial
statement in accordance with principles of proper accounting and in the management report for the company and the group are detected with reasonable
assurance. Knowledge of the business activities and the economic and legal
environment of the company and group, and evaluations of possible misstatements are taken into account in the determination of audit procedures.
The effectiveness of the internal reporting control system and the evidence supporting the disclosures in the books and records, the annual financial statement,
the consolidated financial statement, and the management reports on the company amd the group are examined primarily on a sample test basis within the
framework of the audit. The audit includes assessing the annual financial statements for the entities incorporated in the consolidated financial statement, the
definition of the consolidated group, the accounting and consolidation principles
used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the
overall presentation of the annual financial statement and the consolidated financial
statement and management reports both for the company and for the group. We
believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Our audit has not led to any objections.
In our opinion based on the audit findings, the annual financial statement and the
consolidated financial statement are in compliance with legal regulations and give
a true and fair view of the net assets, financial position, and results of operations of
the company and the group in accordance with principles of proper accounting.
On the whole, the management reports both for the company and for the group
are in compliance with the annual financial statement and the consolidated financial statement and provide a suitable understanding of the company‘s and the
group‘s position and suitably present the opportunities and risks of future development.

Report by the supervisory board
In the business year 2013 under review, the supervisory board of Veritas AG
consistently and diligently discharged its statutory tasks defined in the articles
of association and applicable laws. Its tasks particularly encompass continuous
consulting and monitoring of company management.
The supervisory board was regularly and comprehensively informed both in
writing and verbally by the executive board about Veritas‘s net assets, financial
position, and results of operation, corporate policies and the group‘s strategic
orientation in all business units. The supervisory board received comprehensive
information on company plans, future investments and current business risks. The
executive board extensively explained any deviations in business operations from
planned objectives and processes and discussed with the supervisory board the
reasons for these deviations in order to derive any required countermeasures.
In business year 2013, the supervisory board convened at altogether five regular meetings. In addition, urgent company matters were decided upon either in
written form or in telephone conferences. The supervisory board members were
in intensive contact with the executive board also outside meetings in order to
discuss the company‘s current standing.

annual financial statement and the consolidated financial statement of Veritas
AG and the Veritas Group respectively per December 31, 2013 as well as the
joint management report submitted by the executive board. The auditor was
present at these consultations to provide any required additional information to
the supervisory board. The records and documents had been made available to
the supervisory board members in due time, who had sufficient time to examine
these. The annual financial statement and the consolidated financial statement
were prepared and audited by the commissioned auditing company Westprüfung
Dr. Seifert & Partner OHG in Giessen in compliance with German commercial-law
stipulations (HGB). The certified auditors endorsed the annual statements with an
unqualified audit certificate.
Westprüfung Dr. Seifert & Partner OHG in compliance with § 313 AktG also
audited the executive board’s report on dependency status in business year 2013
made in compliance with §312 AktG and endorsed it with the following audit
certificate:
“Following our duty-bound audit and assessment, we certify that
- the factual statements in the report are correct and
 - that the performances provided by the company in the legal transactions stated in the report were appropriate.”
After due consideration of the concluding findings of the supervisory board’s
examination of the annual financial statement and the consolidated financial
statement and the report on dependency status, no objections were raised. The
supervisory board concurs with the auditor’s findings and approves of the annual
financial statements for 2013. The statements have thus been certified acc. to
§172 AktG.
