3. For the purpose at reporting, business segments are considered as primary segments and geographic segments are considered as secondary segment.

4. As of December 31, 2004, forward contracts to the extent of USD 258 Mn have been assigned to the foreign currency assets as on the balance sheet date. These assets are valued at the forward contract rate, adjusted for premium / discount in respect of the expired period.

The Company has designated certain forward contracts to hedge highly probable forecasted transactions. The gain or loss on these forward contracts is recognized in the profit and loss account in the period in which the forecasted transaction is expected to occur. In certain cases, the Company has entered into forward contracts having a maturity earlier than the period in which the hedged transaction is forecasted to occur. The gain / loss on roll over / cancellation / expiry of such contracts is recognized in the profit and loss account in the period in which the forecasted transaction is expected to occur, till such time the same is grouped under Loans and Advances.

The Company has also entered into option / forward contracts which are not designated as hedge. Gain or loss on such contracts is recognized in the profit and loss account of the respective periods. The outstanding contracts as at the balance sheet date are marked to market, the impact of which is taken to profit and loss account. Consequently, the Company has recognized marked to market gain of Rs. 13.41 Mn in the current quarter ended December 31, 2004.

As at the balance sheet date, the Company had forward contracts to sell USD 614 Mn in respect of forecasted transactions. The effect of marked to market and of intermediary roll over / expiry of the said forward contracts is a gain of Rs. 233.97 Mn. The final impact of such contracts will be recognized in the profit and loss account of the respective periods in which the forecasted transactions are expected to occur.

Had the Company continued to follow the earlier accounting policy, the profit for the quarter would have been higher by Rs. 297 Mn (lower by Rs. 197 Mn for the nine months period ended December 31, 2004).

5. a) In accordance with Accounting Standard 21 “Consolidated Financial Statements” issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India, the consolidated financial statements of Wipro Limited include the financial statements of all subsidiaries which are more than 50% owned and controlled.

b) The Company has a 49% equity interest in Wipro GE Medical Systems Private Limited (WGE), a joint venture with General Electric, USA. The joint venture agreement provides specific rights to the joint venture partners. The Management believes that these specific rights do not confer joint control as defined in Accounting Standard 27 “Financial Reporting of Interest in Joint Venture”. Consequently WGE is not considered as a joint venture and consolidation of financial statements are carried out as per equity method in terms of Accounting Standard 23 “Accounting for Investments in Associates in Consolidated Financial Statements”.

c) In accordance with the guidance provided in Accounting Standard 23 “Accounting for Investments in Associates in Consolidated Financial Statements” WcP Peripherals have been accounted for by equity method of accounting.

Notes:

1. The above financial results were approved by the Board of Directors of the Company at its meeting held on January 21, 2005.

2. There are no qualifications in the report issued by the Auditors for these periods.

3. Corresponding figures for previous periods presented have been regrouped, where necessary, to confirm to this period classification.
