| = | -4.84 | + | 0.92 * 1.1302 | + | 0.528 * 1.0188 | + | 0.404 * 1.3349 | + | 0.892 * 1.2243 | + | 0.115 * 1.1 |
| - | 0.172 * SGAI | + | 4.679 * TATA | - | 0.327 * LVGI |
| - | 0.172 * 0.9794 | + | 4.679 * -0.138662 | - | 0.327 * 1.1697 |

* For Operating Data section: All numbers are indicated by the unit behind each term and all currency related amount are in USD.
* For other sections: All numbers are in millions except for per share data, ratio, and percentage. All currency related amount are indicated in the company's associated stock exchange currency.
1. DSRI = Days Sales in Receivables Index
Measured as the ratio of Revenue in Total Receivables in year t to year t-1.
A large increase in DSR could be indicative of revenue inflation.
| DSRI | = | (Receivables_t / Revenue_t) | / | (Receivables_t-1 / Revenue_t-1) |
| = | (76.75 / 253.091) | / | (55.464 / 206.718) |
| = | 0.303251 | / | 0.268308 |
| | = | 1.1302 |
2. GMI = Gross Margin Index
Measured as the ratio of gross margin in year t-1 to gross margin in year t.
Gross margin has deteriorated when this index is above 1. A firm with poorer prospects is more likely to manipulate earnings.
| GMI | = | GrossMargin_t-1 | / | GrossMargin_t |
| = | (GrossProfit_t-1 / Revenue_t-1) | / | (GrossProfit_t / Revenue_t) |
| = | (128.641 / 206.718) | / | (154.599 / 253.091) |
| = | 0.622302 | / | 0.610844 |
| | = | 1.0188 |
3. AQI = Asset Quality Index
AQI is the ratio of asset quality in year t to year t-1.
Asset quality is measured as the ratio of non-current assets other than Property, Plant and Equipment to Total Assets.
| AQI | = | (1 - (CurrentAssets_t + PPE_t) / TotalAssets_t) | / | (1 - (CurrentAssets_t-1 + PPE_t-1) / TotalAssets_t-1) |
| = | (1 - (251.256 + 57.058) / 447.447) | / | (1 - (261.013 + 35.456) / 386.501) |
| = | 0.310949 | / | 0.232941 |
| | = | 1.3349 |
4. SGI = Sales Growth Index
Ratio of Revenue in year t to sales in year t-1.
Sales growth is not itself a measure of manipulation. However, growth companies are likely to find themselves under pressure to manipulate in order to keep up appearances.
| SGI | = | Sales_t | / | Sales_t-1 |
| = | Revenue_t | / | Revenue_t-1 |
| = | 253.091 | / | 206.718 |
| | = | 1.2243 |
5. DEPI = Depreciation Index
Measured as the ratio of the rate of Depreciation, Depletion and Amortization in year t-1 to the corresponding rate in year t.
DEPI greater than 1 indicates that assets are being depreciated at a slower rate. This suggests that the firm might be revising useful asset life assumptions upwards, or adopting a new method that is income friendly.
| DEPI | = | (Depreciation_t-1 / (Depreciaton_t-1 + PPE_t-1)) | / | (Depreciation_t / (Depreciaton_t + PPE_t)) |
| = | (14.472 / (14.472 + 35.456)) | / | (20.415 / (20.415 + 57.058)) |
| = | 0.289857 | / | 0.263511 |

| = | 0.542007 | / | 0.553392 |

| = | (-20.273 - -1.189 | - | 42.96) | / | 447.447 |
