MPower Software Services Inc. is a US based company engaged in providing IT services in the payments space.
As a part of this acquisition, Wipro aims to provide MasterCard a wide range of services including application development and maintenance, infrastructure services, package implementation, BPO and testing. Through this acquisition, Wipro is able to expand domain expertise in payment space and increase the addressable market for IT services. The Company has made preliminary determination of the carrying value of assets and liabilities of MPower as at December 31, 2005 and has recorded goodwill of Rs. 1,089 Million. The Company is in the process of making a final determination of the carrying value of assets and liabilities, which may result in changes in the carrying value of goodwill and net assets recorded.
9. On December 28, 2005 the Company acquired 100% equity of BVPENTE and its subsidiaries (New Logic). New logic is an European System on Chip design company. The consideration includes cash consideration of Rs. 1,157 Million and earn outs of Euro 26 Million to be determined and paid in future based on financial targets being achieved over a 3 year period. Through this acquisition, the Company has acquired strong domain expertise in semiconductor IP cores and complete system-on-chip solutions with digital, analog mixed signal and RF design services. The acquisition also enables the Company to access over 20 customers in the product engineering space. The Company has made preliminary determination of the carrying value of assets and liabilities of New Logic as at December 31, 2005 and has recorded goodwill of Rs. 840 Million. The Company is in the process of making a final determination of the carrying value of assets and liabilities, which may result in changes in the carrying value of goodwill and net assets recorded.
10. As at December 31, 2005, revenues & operating profits of MPower are reported separately under ‘Acquisitions’. Capital employed (including goodwill of MPower and New Logic are reported separately under ‘Acquisitions’.
11. As of December 31, 2005, forward contracts and options (including zero cost collars) to the extent of USD 303 Million have been assigned to the foreign currency assets as on the balance sheet date. The Proportionate premium / discount on the forward contracts for the period up to the date of balance sheet is recognized in the profit and loss account. The exchange difference measured by the change in exchange rate between inception of forward contract and the date of balance sheet is applied on the foreign currency amount of the forward contract and recognized in the profit and loss account.
Additionally, the Company has designated forward contracts and options to hedge highly probable forecasted transactions. The Company also designates zero cost collars to hedge the exposure to variability in expected future foreign currency cash inflows due to exchange rate movements beyond a defined range. The range comprised an upper and lower strike price. At maturity if the exchange rate remains within the range the Company realizes the cash inflows at spot rate, otherwise the Company realizes the inflows at the upper or lower strike price.
The gain or loss on the forward contracts and options are recognized in the profit and loss account in the period in which the forecasted transaction is expected to occur. In respect of option / forward contracts which are not designated as hedge of highly probably forecasted transactions, realized / unrealized gain or loss are recognized in the profit and loss account of the respective periods.
As at the balance sheet date, the Company had forward / option contracts to sell USD 512 Million in respect of highly probable forecasted transactions. the effect of marked to market and of intermediary roll over / expiry of the said forward contracts is a gain of Rs. 72 Million. 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.
12. In August 2005, the Company issued bonus shares in the ratio of one additional equity share for every equity share of ADS held.
13. The Company has been granting restricted stock units (RSUs) since October 2004. the RSUs generally vest equally at annual intervals over a five year period. The stock compensation cost is computed under the intrinsic value method and amortized on a straight line basis over the total vesting period of five years. As permitted by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (US GAAP), the Company applies a similar straight line amortization method for financial reporting under US GAAP. The company has been advised by external counsel that the straight line amortization complies with SEBI guidelines.
However, an alternative interpretation could result in amortization of the cost on an accelerated basis. Under this approach, the amortization in the initial years would be higher with a lower charge in subsequent periods (though the overall charge over the full vesting period will remain the same). If the Company were to amortize the cost on an accelerated basis, profit before taxes and profit after tax for three months ended December 31, 2005 would have been lower by Rs. 43 Million & Rs. 37 Million and for nine months ended December 31, 2005 would have been lower by 462 Million & Rs. 425 Million respectively. Similarly, the profit before taxes and profit after tax for the year ended March 31, 2005 would have been lower by Rs. 443 Million and Rs. 409 Million respectively. This would effectively increase the profit before and after tax in later years by similar amounts.
The Company is awaiting further clarification on the matter.
14. 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 (Wipro GE), an entity in which General Electric, USA holds the majority equity interest. The shareholders agreement provides specific rights to the two shareholders. 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” WeP Peripherals have been accounted for by equity method of accounting.

The company has been advised by external counsel that the straight line amortization complies with SEBI guidelines.
However, an alternative interpretation could result in amortization of the cost on an accelerated basis. Under this approach, the amortization in the initial years would be higher with a lower charge in subsequent periods (though the overall charge over the full vesting period will remain the same). If the Company were to amortize the cost on an accelerated basis, profit before taxes and profit after tax for three months ended December 31, 2005 would have been lower by Rs. 43 Million and for nine months ended December 31, 2005 would have been lower by Rs. 462 Million & 425 Million respectively. Similarly, the profit before taxes and profit after tax for the year ended March 31, 2005 would have been lower by Rs. 443 Million and Rs. 409 Million respectively. This would effectively increase the profit before and after tax in later years by similar amounts.
The Company is awaiting further clarification on the matter.
