CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF WIPRO LIMITED AND SUBSIDIARIES
    SCHEDULE 19 — NOTES TO
 
    ACCOUNTS Company overview
 
    Wipro Limited (Wipro), together with its subsidiaries and associates (collectively, the Company or the group) is a leading India based provider of IT Services, including Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) services, globally. Further, Wipro has other businesses such as IT Products and Consumer Care and Lighting. Wipro is headquartered in Bangalore, India.
 
1.   Significant accounting policies
 
i   Basis of preparation of financial statements
 
    The condensed consolidated financial statements (financial statements) are prepared in accordance with Indian Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) under the historical cost convention on accrual basis. GAAP comprises Accounting Standards (AS) issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI) and other generally accepted accounting principles in India. The recognition, measurement and disclosure provisions of AS 25, Interim Financial Reporting, issued by ICAI have been followed for these financial statements. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated annual financial statements of the Company for the year ended as at March 31, 2008. The accounting policies followed in preparation of the financial statements are consistent with those followed in the preparation of the consolidated annual financial statements. Effective April 1, 2008 the Company adopted Accounting Standard 30, Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement (AS 30). The adoption of AS 30 has been described in Note 4 of the notes to accounts.
 
ii.   Principles of consolidation
 
    The financial statements include the financial statements of Wipro and all its subsidiaries, which are more than 50% owned or controlled.
 
    The financial statements of the parent company and its majority owned / controlled subsidiaries have been combined on a line by line basis by adding together the book values of all items of assets, liabilities, incomes and expenses after eliminating all inter-company balances / transactions and resulting unrealized gain / loss.
 
    The financial statements are prepared using uniform accounting policies for similar transactions and other events in similar circumstances.
 
iii.   Use of estimates
 
    The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities on the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period reported. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
iv.   Goodwill
 
    Goodwill arising on consolidation / acquisition of assets is not amortised. It is tested for impairment on a periodic basis and written-off if found impaired.
 
v.   Fixed assets, intangible assets and work-in-progress
 
    Fixed assets are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation.
 
    Interest on borrowed money allocated to and utilized for qualifying fixed assets, pertaining to the period up to the date of capitalization is capitalized. Assets acquired on direct finance lease are capitalized at the gross value and interest thereon is charged to profit and loss account.
 
    Intangible assets are stated at the consideration paid for acquisition less accumulated amortization.

 


 

CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF WIPRO LIMITED AND SUBSIDIARIES
    Advances paid towards the acquisition of fixed assets outstanding as of each balance sheet date and the cost of fixed assets not ready for use before such date are disclosed under capital work -in-progress. Lease payments under operating lease are recognised as an expense in the profit and loss account.
 
    Payments for leasehold land are amortised over the period of lease.
 
vi.   Investments
 
    Long term investments (other than investment in associate) are stated at cost less provision for diminution in the value of such investments. Diminution in value is provided for where the management is of the opinion that the diminution is of other than temporary nature. Short term investments are valued at lower of cost and net realizable value.
 
    Investment in associate is accounted under the equity method.
 
vii.   Inventories
 
    Finished goods are valued at cost or net realizable value, whichever is lower. Other inventories are valued at cost less provision for obsolescence. Small value tools and consumables are charged to consumption on purchase. Cost is determined using weighted average method.
 
viii.   Provisions and contingent liabilities
 
    The Company creates a provision when there is a present obligation as a result of an obligating event that probably requires an outflow of resources and a reliable estimate can be made o f the amount of the outflow.
 
    A disclosure for a contingent liability is made when there is a possible obligation or a present obligation that may, but probably will not, require an outflow of resources. Where there is a possible obligation or a present obligation in respect of which the likelihood of outflow of resources is remote, no provision or disclosure is made.
 
ix.   Revenue recognition
 
    Services:
 
    Revenue from Software development services comprises revenue from time and material and fixed-price contracts. Revenue from time and material contracts is recognised as related services are performed. Revenue from fixed-price, fixed-time frame contracts is generally recognised in accordance with the “Percentage of Completion” method.
 
    Revenues from BPO services are derived from both time-based and unit-priced contracts. Revenue is recognised as the related services are performed, in accordance with the specific terms of the contract with the customers.
 
    Revenue from application maintenance services is recognized over the period of the contract.
 
    Revenue from customer training, support and other services is recognised as the related services are performed.
 
    Provision for estimated losses, if any, on incomplete contracts are recorded in the period in which such losses become probable based on the current contract estimates.
 
    ‘Unbilled revenues’ included in loans and advances represent cost and earnings in excess of billings as at the balance sheet date. ‘Unearned revenues’ included in current liabilities represent billing in excess of revenue recognised.

 


 

CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF WIPRO LIMITED AND SUBSIDIARIES
    Products:
 
    Revenue from sale of products is recognised, in accordance with the sales contract, on dispatch from the factories/ warehouse of the Company. Revenues from product sales are shown as net of excise duty, sales tax separately charged and applicable discounts.
 
    Others:
 
    Agency commission is accrued when shipment of consignment is dispatched by the principal.
 
    Profit on sale of investments is recorded upon transfer of title by the Company. It is determined as the difference between the sales price and the then carrying amount of the investment.
 
    Interest is recognised using the time-proportion method, based on rates implicit in the transaction.
 
    Dividend income is recognised where the Company’s right to receive dividend is established.
 
    Export incentives are accounted on accrual basis and include estimated realizable values/ benefits from special import licenses and advance licenses.
 
    Other income is recognised on accrual basis.
 
x.   Warranty cost
 
    The Company accrues the estimated cost of warranties at the time when the revenue is recognised. The accruals are based on the Company’s historical experience of material usage and service delivery costs.
 
xi.   Foreign currency transactions
 
    The Company is exposed to currency fluctuations on foreign currency transactions. Foreign currency transactions are accounted in the books of accounts at the average rate for the month.
 
    Transaction:
 
    The difference between the rate at which foreign currency transactions are accounted and the rate at which they are realized is recognised in the profit and loss account.
 
    Translation:
 
    Monetary foreign currency assets and liabilities at period-end are translated at the closing rate. The difference arising from the translation is recognised in the profit and loss account, except for the exchange difference arising on monetary items that qualify as hedging instruments in a cash flow hedge or hedge of a net investment. In such cases the exchange difference is initially recognized in hedging reserve or translation reserve respectively. Such exchange differences are subsequently recognized in the profit and loss account on occurrence of the underlying hedged transaction or on disposal of the investment respectively.
 
    Integral operations:
 
    In respect of integral operations, monetary assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rate prevailing at the date of the balance sheet. Non-monetary items are translated at the historical rate. The items in the profit and loss account are translated at the average exchange rate during the period. The differences arising out of the translation are recognised in the profit and loss account.
 
    Non-integral operations:
 
    In respect of non-integral operations, assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rate prevailing at the date of the balance sheet. The items in the profit and loss account are translated at the average exchange rate during the period. The differences arising out of the translation are transferred to translation reserve.

    The Company is exposed to foreign currency fluctuations on foreign currency asse ts, liabilities, net investment in a foreign operation and forecasted cash flows denominated in foreign currency. The Company limits the effects of foreign exchange rate fluctuations by following established risk management policies including the use of derivatives. The Company enters into derivative financial instruments, where the counterparty is a bank.
 
    Effective 1 April, 2007, based on the recognition and measurement principles set out in the AS 30, changes in the fair values of derivative financial instruments designated as cash flow hedges are recognized directly in shareholders’ funds and are reclassified into the profit and loss account upon the occurrence of the hedged transaction. The Company also designated derivative financial instruments as hedges of net investment in non-integral foreign operation. The portion of the changes in fair value of derivative financial instruments that is determined to be an effective hedge is recognised in the shareholders’ funds and would be recognised in the profit and loss account upon sale or disposal of related non-integral foreign operation. Changes in fair value relating to the ineffective portion of the hedges and derivatives not designated as hedges are recognized in the profit and loss account as they arise.
 
    On 1 April 2008, the Company early adopted AS 30 and the limited revisions to other accounting standards which come into effect upon adoption of AS 30. AS 30 states that particular sections of other accounting standards; Accounting Standard (AS) 4, Contingencies and Events Occurring after Balance sheet Date, to the extent it deals with contingencies, Accounting Standard (AS) 11 (revised 2003), The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates, to the extent it deals with the ‘forward exchange contracts’ and Accounting Standard (AS) 13, Accounting for Investments, except to the extent it relates to accounting for investment properties, will stand withdrawn from the date AS 30 becomes mandatory.
 
    Accordingly, the Company continues to comply with the guidance under these accounting standards; AS 4 — relating to Contingencies, AS 11 — relating to Forward contracts and AS 13 until AS 30 becomes mandatory.
 
    The impact of adoption of AS 30 has been described in Note 4 of the notes to accounts.
 
    Non-Derivative Financial Instruments
 
    A financial instrument is any contract that gives rise to a financial asset of one entity and a financial liability or equity instrument of another entity. Financial assets of the Company mainly include cash and bank balances, sundry debtors, unbilled revenues, finance lease receivables, employee travel and other advances, other loans and advances and derivative financial instruments with a positive fair value. Financial liabilities of the Company mainly comprise secured and unsecured loans, sundry creditors, accrued expenses and derivative financial instruments with a negative fair value. Financial assets / liabilities are recognized on the balance sheet when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Financial assets are derecognized when all of risks and rewards of the ownership have been transferred.
 
    The transfer of risks and rewards is evaluated by comparing the exposure, before and after the transfer, with the variability in the amounts and timing of the net cash flows of the transferred assets
 
    Short-term receivables with no stated interest rates are measured at original invoice amount, if the effect of discounting is immaterial. Non-interest-bearing deposits are discounted to their present value.
 
    The Company measures the financial liabilities, except for derivative financial liabilities at amortized cost using the effective interest method. The Company measures the short-term payables with no stated rate of interest at original invoice amount, if the effect of discounting is immaterial.

xiii.   Depreciation and amortization
 
    Depreciation is provided on straight line method at rates not lower than rates specified in Schedule XIV to the Companies Act, 1956. In some cases, assets are depreciated at the rates which are higher than Schedule XIV rates to reflect the economic life of asset. Management estimates the useful life of various assets as follows:
     
         Nature of asset   Life of asset
 
Building
  30 – 60 years
Plant and machinery
  5 – 21 years
Office equipment
  3 – 10 years
Vehicles
  4 years
Furniture and fixtures
  3 – 10 years
Data processing equipment and software
  2 – 6 years
    Fixed assets individually costing Rs. 5,000/- or less are depreciated at 100%.
 
    Assets under capital lease are amortised over their estimated useful life or the lease term, whichever is lower. Intangible assets are amortized over their estimated useful life. For various brands acquired by the Company, the estimated useful life has been determined ranging between 20 to 25 years based on expected life, performance, market share, niche focus and longevity of the brand. Accordingly, such intangible assets are being amortised over the determined useful life.
 
xiv.   Impairment of assets
 
    Financial assets:
 
    The Company assesses at each balance sheet date whether there is any objective evidence that a financial asset or group of financial assets is impaired. If any such indication exists, the Company estimates the amount of impairment loss. The amount of loss for short-term receivables is measured as the difference between the assets carrying amount and undiscounted amount of future cash flows. Reduction, if any, is recognized in the profit and loss account. If at the balance sheet date there is any indication that if a previously assessed impairment loss no longer exists, the recognised impairment loss is reversed, subject to maximum of initial carrying amount of the short-term receivable.
 
    Other than financial assets:
 
    The Company assesses at each balance sheet date whether there is any indication that a non-financial asset including goodwill may be impaired. If any such indication exists, the Company estimates the recoverable amount of the asset. If such recoverable amount of the asset or the recoverable amount of the cash generating unit to which the asset belongs to is less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount is reduced to its recoverable amount. The reduction is treated as an impairment loss and is recognised in the profit and loss account. If at the balance sheet date there is an indication that if a previously assessed impairment loss no longer exists, the recoverable amount is reassessed and the asset is reflected at the recoverable amount subject to a maximum of depreciated historical cost. In respect of goodwill the impairment loss will be reversed only when it was caused by specific external events and their effects have been reversed by subsequent external events.
 
xv.   Provision for retirement benefits
 
    Provident fund:
 
    Employees receive benefits from a provident fund. The employee and employer each make monthly contributions to the plan equal to 12% of the covered employee’s salary. A portion of the contribution is made to the provident fund trust managed by the Company, while the remainder of the contribution is made to the Government’s provident fund.

 


 

CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF WIPRO LIMITED AND SUBSIDIARIES
    Compensated absences:
 
    The employees of the Company are entitled to compensated absence. The employees can carry-forward a portion of the unutilized accrued compensated absence and utilize it in future periods or receive cash compensation at retirement or termination of employment for the unutilized accrued compensated absence. The Company records an obligation for compensated absences in the period in which the employee renders the services that increase this entitlement. The Company measures the expected cost of compensated absence as the additional amount that the Company expects to pay as a result of the unused entitlement that has accumulated at the balance sheet date.
 
    Gratuity:
 
    In accordance with applicable Indian laws, the Company provides for gratuity, a defined benefit retirement plan (Gratuity Plan) covering certain categories of employees. The Gratuity Plan provides a lump sum payment to vested employees, at retirement or termination of employment, an amount based on the respective employee’s last drawn salary and the years of employment with the Company. Liability with regard to gratuity plan is accrued based on actuarial valuations at the balance sheet date, carried out by an independent actuary. Actuarial gain or loss is recognised immediately in the statement of profit and loss as income or expense. The Company has an employees’ gratuity fund managed by the Life Insurance Corporation of India (LIC).
 
    Superannuation:
 
    Apart from being covered under the Gratuity Plan described above, the employees of the Company also participate in a defined contribution plan maintained by the Company. This plan is administered by the LIC & ICICI Prudential Insurance Company Limited. The Company makes annual contributions based on a specified percentage of each covered employee’s salary.
 
xvi.   Employee stock options
 
    The Company determines the compensation cost based on the intrinsic value method. The compensation cost is amortised on a straight line basis over the vesting period.
 
xvii.   Research and development
 
    Revenue expenditure on research and development is charged to profit and loss account and capital expenditure is shown as addition to fixed assets.
 
xviii.   Income tax & Fringe benefit tax
 
    Income tax:
 
    The current charge for income taxes is calculated in accordance with the relevant tax regulations.
 
    The income tax provision for the interim period is made based on the best estimate of the annual average tax rate expected to be applicable for the full fiscal year.
 
    Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised for the future tax consequences attributable to timing differences that result between the profit offered for income taxes and the profit as per the financial statements by each entity in the Company.
 
    Deferred taxes are recognised in respect of timing differences which originate during the tax
holiday period but reverse after the tax holiday period. For this purpose, reversal of timing difference is determined using FIFO method.
 
    Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognised in the period that includes the enactment/ substantive enactment date.

 


 

CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF WIPRO LIMITED AND SUBSIDIARIES
    Deferred tax assets on timing differences are recognised only if there is a reasonable certainty that sufficient future taxable income will be available against which such deferred tax assets can be realized. However, deferred tax assets on the timing differences when unabsorbed depreciation and losses carried forward exist, are recognised only to the extent that there is virtual certainty that sufficient future taxable income will be available against which such deferred tax assets can be realized.
 
    Deferred tax assets are reassessed for the appropriateness of their respective carrying amounts at each balance sheet date.
 
    Fringe benefit tax:
 
    The Fringe Benefit Tax (FBT) is accounted for in accordance with the guidance note on accounting for fringe benefits tax issued by the ICAI. The provision for FBT is reported under income taxes.
 
xix.   Earnings per share
 
    Basic:
 
    The number of shares used in computing basic earnings per share is the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period.
 
    Diluted:
 
    The number of shares used in computing diluted earnings per share comprises the weighted average shares considered for deriving basic earnings per share, and also the weighted average number of equity shares that could have been issued on the conversion of all dilutive potential equity shares.
 
    Dilutive potential equity shares are deemed converted as of the beginning of the period, unless issued at a later date. The number of shares and potentially dilutive equity shares are adjusted for any stock splits and bonus shares issued.
 
xx.   Cash flow statement
 
    Cash flows are reported using the indirect method, whereby net profits before tax is adjusted for the effects of transactions of a non-cash nature and any deferrals or accruals of past or future cash receipts or payments. The cash flows from regular revenue generating, investing and financing activities of the Company are segregated.

4.   Adoption of AS 30
 
    In December 2007, the ICAI issued Accounting Standard (AS) 30, Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement. Although AS 30 becomes recommendatory in respect of accounting periods commencing on or after April 1, 2009 and mandatory in respect of accounting periods commencing on or after April 1, 2011, in March 2008 the ICAI announced that the earlier adoption of AS 30 is encouraged.
 
    On April 1, 2008, the Company early adopted AS 30 and the limited revisions to other accounting standards which come into effect upon adoption of AS 30.
 
    AS 30 states that particular sections of other accounting standards; Accounting Standard (AS) 4, Contingencies and Events Occurring after Balance sheet Date, to the extent it deals with contingencies, Accounting Standard (AS) 11 (revised 2003), The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates, to the extent it deals with the ‘forward exchange contracts’ and Accounting Standard (AS) 13, Accounting for Investments, except to the extent it relates to accounting for investment properties, would stand withdrawn from the date AS 30 becomes mandatory.
 
    Accordingly, the Company continues to comply with the guidance under these accounting standards; AS 4 — relating to Contingencies, AS 11 — relating to Forward Contracts and AS 13 until AS 30 becomes mandatory.
 
    Until March 31, 2008 the Company applied the recognition and measurement principles as set out in AS 30 in accounting for derivatives and hedge accounting. Changes in the fair values of derivative financial instruments designated as cash flow hedges were recognized directly in shareholders’ funds and reclassified into the profit and loss account upon the occurrence of the hedged transaction. The Company also designated derivative financial instruments as hedges of net investments in non-integral foreign operation. The portion of the changes in fair value of derivative financial instruments that was determined to be an effective hedge is recognised in the shareholders’ funds and was recognised in the profit and loss account upon sale or disposal of related non-integral foreign operation. Changes in fair value relating to the ineffective portion of the hedges and derivatives not designated as hedges were recognized in the profit and loss account as they arose.
 
    As the Company was applying the transitional principles of AS 30 in respect of its accounting for derivative financial instruments in relation to derivative and hedge accounting, the early adoption of AS 30 did not have a material impact on the Company.
 
    As permitted by AS 30 and the consequent limited revisions to other accounting standards; during the quarter ended June 30, 2008 the Company designated a yen-denominated foreign currency borrowing along with a floating-for-floating Cross-Currency Swap (CCS), as a hedging instrument to hedge its net investment in a non-integral foreign operation. Accordingly the translation loss on the foreign currency borrowings and portion of the

 


 

CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF WIPRO LIMITED AND SUBSIDIARIES
    changes in fair value of CCS which are determined to be effective hedge of net investment in non-integral foreign operations aggregating to Rs. 660 million is recognized in shareholders’ funds and would be transferred to profit and loss account upon sale or disposal or non-integral foreign operations.
 
    If the Company had continued to apply the provisions of AS 11 to the foreign currency borrowing and not considered it as hedge of net investment as permitted under AS 30 and the consequent limited revision to other accounting standards, the translation loss on the foreign currency borrowing would have been recorded in the profit and loss account. Consequently, the foreign currency borrowing combined with CCS would not have qualified for hedge accounting and therefore changes in fair value of CCS would also have been recorded in profit and loss account. As a result profit after tax for the quarter ended June 30, 2008 would have been lower by Rs. 660 million.
 
5.   Derivatives
 
    As of June 30, 2008 the Company had derivative financial instruments to sell USD 2,639 Million, GBP 75 Million, EUR 18 Million and JPY 7,682 Million relating to highly probable forecasted transactions. As of March 31, 2008 the Company had derivative financial instruments to sell USD 2,497 Million, GBP 84 Million, EUR 24 Million and JPY 7,682 Million relating to highly probable forecasted transactions. As of June 30, 2008 the Company has recognised mark-to-market losses of Rs. 9,344 Million (2008: Rs. 1,097 Million) relating to derivative financial instruments that are designated as effective cash flow hedges in the shareholders’ funds.
 
    In addition, as of June 30, 2008 the Company had derivative financial instruments to sell USD 306 Million and EUR 65 Million designated as hedge of net investment in non-integral foreign operations. Further, the Company designated a yen-denominated foreign currency borrowing amounting to Yen 28 Billion along with a related floating-for-floating Cross-Currency Swap (CCS), as hedging instrument to hedge net investment in non-integral foreign operation. The Company has recognized mark-to-market losses of Rs 3,273 Million (2008: Rs.495 Million) relating to the above financial instruments that are designated as hedges of net investment in non-integral foreign operations in translation reserve in the shareholder’s funds.
 
    As of June 30, 2008 the Company had undesignated derivative financial instruments to sell USD 266 Million, GBP 55 Million and EUR 33 Million. As of March 31, 2008 the Company had undesignated derivative financial instruments to sell USD 414 Million, GBP 58 Million and EUR 39 Million. As of June 30, 2008 the Company has recognized mark-to-market gain/ (losses) on such derivative financial instruments through the profit and loss account.
 
6.   The Company has a 49% equity interest in Wipro GE Healthcare 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 Interests in Joint Ventures”. Consequently, Wipro GE is not considered as a joint venture and consolidation of financial statements is carried out as per the equity method in terms of Accounting Standard 23 “Accounting for Investments in Associates in Consolidated Financial statements”.
 
7.   In March 2008, pursuant to the scheme of amalgamation approved by the Honorable High Court of Karnataka and High Court of Judicature at Bombay, the Company has merged mPower Software Services India Private Limited (‘mPower’), mPact Technology Service Private Limited (‘mPact’) and cMango India Private Limited (‘cMango’) with the Company retrospectively from 1 April 2007, the Appointed Date. mPower, mPact and cMango were fully held by Wipro Inc, which in turn is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. Pursuant to the scheme of amalgamation, the Company will issue 968,803 fully-paid equity shares with a market value as on April 1, 2007 of Rs. 540 Million as consideration to a controlled trust to be held for the benefit of Wipro Inc.

8.   Employee stock option
 
i)   Employees covered under Stock Option Plans and Resticted Stock Unit (RSU) Option Plans are granted an option to purchase shares of the Company at the respective exercise prices, subject to requirements of vesting conditions. These options generally vest over a period of five years from the date of grant. Upon vesting, the employees can acquire one equity share for every option. The maximum contractual term for aforementioned stock option plans is generally 10 years.
 
ii)   The stock compensation cost is computed under the intrinsic value method and amortised on a straight line basis over the total vesting period of five years. The Company has granted 8,311,634 Options under RSU Options Plan and 120,000 options under Stock Options Plan during the quarter ended June 30, 2008.
 
    For the quarter ended June 30, 2008 the Company has recorded stock compensation expense of Rs. 433 Million (2007: Rs.286 Million, 2008: Rs.1,166 Million).
 
    The Company has been advised by external counsel that the straight line amortization over the total vesting period complies with the SEBI Employee Stock Option Scheme Guidelines 1999, as amended. However, an alternative interpretation of the SEBI guidelines could result in amortization of the cost on an accelerated basis. If the Company were to amortize the cost on an accelerated basis, profit after taxation for the quarter ended June 30, 2008 would have been lower by Rs.153 Million (2007: Rs.76 Million, 2008: Rs.231 Million) .This would effectively increase/ decrease, as the case may be, the profit after taxation in later periods by similar amounts.
 
iii)   The Finance Act, 2007 has introduced Fringe Benefit Tax (FBT) on employee stock options. The difference between the fair value of the underlying share on the date of vesting and the exercise price paid by the employee is subject to FBT. The Company recovers such tax from the employee. During the quarter ended June 30, 2008 the Company has recognised FBT liability and related recovery of Rs 46 Million arising from the exercise of stock options. The Company’s obligation to pay FBT arises only upon the exercise of stock options.
 
9.   Income Tax
 
    Provision for tax has been allocated as follows:
                         
                    (Rs in Million)
     
    Quarter ended   Year Ended
    June 30,   March 31,
Particulars   2008   2007   2008

Total income taxes
    1,526       1,005       4,550  
     
10.   The Company had received tax demands from the Indian income tax authorities for the financial years ended March 31, 2001, 2002, 2003 and 2004 aggregating to Rs. 11,127 Million (including interest of Rs. 1,503 Million). The tax demand was primarily on account of denial of deduction claimed by the Company under Section 10A of the Income Tax Act 1961, in respect of profits earned by its undertakings in Software Technology Park at Bangalore. The appeals filed by the Company for the above years to the first appellate authority were allowed in favour of the Company, thus deleting substantial portion of the demand raised by the Income tax authorities. On further appeal filed by the income tax authorities, in June 2008 the second appellate authority upheld the claim of the company for years ended March 31, 2001 and 2002. The Income tax authorities have filed similar appeals for years ended March 31, 2003 and 2004 which are pending before the second appellate authority.

 


 

CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF WIPRO LIMITED AND SUBSIDIARIES
    Considering the facts and nature of disallowance and the order of the appellate authorities upholding the claims of the Company for earlier years, the Company believes that the final outcome of the above disputes should be in favour of the Company and there should not be any material impact on the financial statements.

12.   The segment information for the quarter ended June 30, 2008, June 30, 2007 and year ended March 31, 2008 is as follows:
 
    Until March 31, 2008 the Company was reporting Global IT Services & Products (comprising of IT Services & Products and BPO Services segments), India & AsiaPac IT Services & Products, Consumer Care & Lighting and Others.
 
    In April 2008 the Company re-organized its IT businesses by combining the Global IT Services & Products and the India & AsiaPac IT Services & Products businesses and appointed joint CEOs for the combined IT business. Consequent to the re-organization of the Company, the Company changed its system of internal financial reporting to the board of directors and the chief executive officer wherein the financial results are reported as IT Services and IT Products. Accordingly, the Company identified IT services and IT products as reportable segments. There is no change in the reportable segments for other businesses.
 
    Segment information in respect of earlier period has been revised to conform to the presentation as per current reportable segments.
