1.
Summary of significant accounting policies

a) Basis of presentation
 
The interim consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009 are unaudited and include all adjustments that management of CGI Group Inc. (the “Company”) considers necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

The disclosures provided in these interim financial statements do not conform in all respects with the requirements of Canadian generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for annual consolidated financial statements; therefore, the interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the annual consolidated financial statements of the Company for the year ended September 30, 2009. These interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared using the same accounting policies and methods of their application as the annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended September 30, 2009, except for new accounting policies adopted effective October 1, 2009.

Certain comparative figures have been reclassified to conform to the current period’s presentation and have been restated upon the adoption of Section 3064, “Goodwill and Intangible Assets”. The Company adopted Section 3064 retroactively with restatement during the fiscal year 2009. As a result, the Company recorded certain expenditures related to start-up costs and labor costs as expenses, rather than recording them as intangible assets. Opening retained earnings as at October 1, 2008 have been reduced by $2,341,000, which is the amount of the adjustment relating to periods prior to fiscal year 2009. The retrospective impact on net earnings attributable to shareholders of CGI Group Inc. is an increase of $150,000 and $287,000 for the three and the six months ended March 31, 2009, respectively. The retrospective impact on basic and diluted earnings per share for the prior restated period is nominal.

Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

b) Change in accounting policies
 
On October 1, 2009, the Company has elected to early adopt the following Handbook Sections issued by the Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants (“CICA”) in January 2009 as it primarily converges with the International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) and U.S. GAAP:

i)  
Section 1582, “Business Combinations”, which replaces Section 1581, “Business Combinations”. The Section establishes standards for the accounting for a business combination. It is similar to the corresponding provisions of IFRS 3 (Revised), “Business Combinations” and of U.S. GAAP standard, Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 805, “Business Combinations”. The new Section requires the acquiring entity in a business combination to recognize most of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the transaction at their acquisition-date fair values including non-controlling interests and contingent considerations. Subsequent changes in fair value of contingent considerations classified as liabilities are recognized in earnings. Acquisition-related costs and restructuring costs are also to be expensed as incurred rather than capitalized as a component of the business combination. Also, the previously unrecognized future tax assets related to the acquiree subsequent to the business combination are recognized in earnings rather than as a reduction of goodwill.

ii)  
Section 1601, “Consolidated Financial Statements” and Section 1602, “Non-Controlling Interests”, together replace Section 1600, “Consolidated Financial Statements”. Section 1601 establishes standards for the preparation of consolidated financial statements. Section 1602 establishes standards for accounting for a non-controlling interest in a subsidiary in consolidated financial statements subsequent to a business combination. These sections are similar to the corresponding provisions of IFRS standard, International Accounting Standards 27 (Revised), “Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements” and of U.S. GAAP standard, ASC Topic 810, “Consolidation”. Section 1602 requires the Company to report non-controlling interests as a separate component of shareholders equity rather than as a liability of the consolidated balance sheet statements. Transactions between an entity and non-controlling interests are considered as equity transactions. In addition, the attribution of net earnings and comprehensive income between the Company’s shareholders and non-controlling interests is presented separately in the consolidated statements of earnings and comprehensive income rather than reflecting non-controlling interests as a deduction of net earnings and total comprehensive income.

In accordance with the transitional provisions, these sections have been applied prospectively, except for the presentation requirements for non-controlling interest, which must be applied retrospectively. The significant effect of the adoption of these sections on the Company’s consolidated financial statements is described in Note 7. In addition, the Company’s consolidated financial statements consider the above mentioned reclassifications of non-controlling interest. The effects on future periods will depend on the nature and significance of business combinations subject to these sections.

Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

c) Future accounting policies
 
In December 2009, the CICA issued Emerging Issue Committee Abstract (“EIC”) 175, “Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables”, an amendment to EIC 142, “Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables”. EIC 175 provides guidance on certain aspects of the accounting for arrangements under which the Company will perform multiple revenue-generating activities. Under the new guidance, when vendor specific objective evidence or third party evidence for deliverables in an arrangement cannot be determined, a best estimate of the selling price is required to separate deliverables and allocate arrangement consideration using the relative selling price method. EIC 175 also includes new disclosure requirements on how the application of the relative selling price method affects the timing and amount of revenue recognition. EIC 175 is effective prospectively, with retrospective adoption permitted, for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified in fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2011. Early adoption is also permitted; however, early adoption during an interim period requires retrospective application from the beginning of the fiscal year. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this new EIC on the consolidated financial statements.

(1)On January 27, 2010, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized the renewal of a Normal Course Issuer Bid (“NCIB”) for the purchase of up to 25,151,058 Class A subordinate shares. During the six months ended March 31, 2010, the Company repurchased 20,394,869 Class A subordinate shares for $281,446,000, under the previous and current NCIB. The excess of the purchase price over the carrying value of Class A subordinate shares repurchased, in the amount of $185,410,000, was charged to retained earnings. As at March 31, 2010, 413,600 of the repurchased Class A subordinate shares with a carrying value of $1,955,000 and a purchase value of $6,288,000 were held by the Company, and have been paid and cancelled subsequent to the quarter.
 
 
(2)The carrying value of Class A subordinate shares includes $10,693,000 which corresponds to a reduction in contributed surplus representing the value of accumulated compensation cost associated with the options exercised during the period.

b) Stock options

Under the Company’s stock option plan, the Board of Directors may grant, at its discretion, options to purchase Class A subordinate shares to certain employees, officers, directors and consultants of the Company and its subsidiaries. The exercise price is established by the Board of Directors and is equal to the closing price of the Class A subordinate shares on the Toronto Stock Exchange on the day preceding the date of the grant. Options generally vest one to three years from the date of grant conditionally upon achievement of objectives and must be exercised within a ten-year period, except in the event of retirement, termination of employment or death.

Investments in subsidiaries

Business combination adjustments

Future income tax assets related to losses carried forward acquired in the American Management Systems, Incorporated business acquisition that were not recognized as an identifiable asset at the date of acquisition were recognized during the six months ended March 31, 2010, resulting in a corresponding decrease in income tax expense of $3,117,000. There were no business combination adjustments during the three months ended March 31, 2010. The transitional rules of the new Section 1582 require that a change in recognized acquired future income tax assets arising from past business combinations be recorded through the income tax expense. Prior to the adoption of Section 1582, the corresponding decrease would have been applied to goodwill.

Income Taxes

The Company’s effective income tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009 were 32.50% and 24.85%, respectively. For the three months ended March 31, 2009, the expense contained a favourable tax adjustment of $7,300,000 mainly pertaining to a settlement related to past years tax liabilities.

The Company’s effective income tax rate for the six months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009 were 18.81% and 24.62%, respectively. For the six months ended March 31, 2010, the expense contained a favourable tax adjustment of $30,532,000 mainly as a result of the final determinations and expiration of limitation periods. For the six months ended March 31, 2009, the expense contained a favourable tax adjustment of $15,900,000 mainly pertaining to settlements related to past years’ tax liabilities. Without these favourable tax adjustments, the Company’s income tax rate for the six months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009 would have been 31.67% and 32.27%, respectively.

Contingencies and Guarantees

a) Contingencies

From time to time, the Company is involved in legal proceedings, audits, claims and litigation arising in the ordinary course of its business. Certain of these matters seek damages in significant amounts. Although the outcome of such matters is not predictable with assurance, the Company has no reason to believe that the disposition of any such current matter could reasonably be expected to have a materially adverse impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or the ability to carry on any of its business activities.

b) Guarantees

In connection with the sale of assets and business divestitures, the Company may be required to pay counterparties for costs and losses incurred as the result of breaches in representations and warranties, intellectual property right infringement and litigation against counterparties. While some of the agreements specify a maximum potential exposure of approximately $20,820,000 in total, others do not specify a maximum amount or limited period. It is impossible to reasonably estimate the maximum amount that may have to be paid under such guarantees. The amounts are dependent upon the outcome of future contingent events, the nature and likelihood of which cannot be determined at this time. The Company does not expect to incur any potential payment in connection with these guarantees that could have a materially adverse effect on its consolidated financial statements.

In the normal course of business, the Company may provide certain clients, principally governmental entities, with bid and performance bonds. In general, the Company would only be liable for the amount of the bid bonds if the Company refuses to perform the project once the bid is awarded. The Company would also be liable for the performance bonds in the event of default in the performance of its obligations. As at March 31, 2010, the Company provided for a total of $110,239,000 of these bonds. To the best of its knowledge, the Company is in compliance with its performance obligations under all service contracts for which there is a performance or bid bond, and the ultimate liability, if any, incurred in connection with these guarantees would not have a materially adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated results of operations or financial condition.

Financial instruments and hedges
 

The Company uses various financial instruments to manage its exposure to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. The Company does not hold or use any derivative instruments for trading purposes.

a) Hedge on net investment in self-sustaining foreign subsidiaries

Effective February 11, 2010, the Company designated a debt of US$100,000,000 as an additional hedging instrument for a portion of the Company’s net investment in self-sustaining U.S. subsidiaries.

Foreign exchange translation gains or losses on the net investment are recorded in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income. The effective portion of gains or losses on instruments hedging the net investment are also recorded in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income.

b) Cash flow hedges on future revenue

During the six months ended March 31, 2010, the Company entered into foreign currency forward contracts to hedge the variability in the foreign currency exchange rate between the U.S. dollar and the Indian rupee on future revenue for a period of 12 months. During the three months ended March 31, 2010, there were no foreign currency forward contracts entered into.

The hedges were documented as cash flow hedges and no component of the derivative instruments’ fair value is excluded from the assessment and measurement of hedge effectiveness. The forward contracts are derivative instruments, and, therefore, are recorded at fair value on the balance sheet.

The effective portion of the change in fair value of the derivative instruments is recognized in other comprehensive income and the ineffective portion, if any, in the consolidated statement of earnings. The effective portion of the change in fair value of the derivatives is reclassified out of other comprehensive income into earnings as an adjustment to revenue when the hedged revenue is recognized.

During the three and six months ended March 31, 2010, there was no ineffectiveness recorded in the consolidated statement of earnings.

Recent accounting changes

In December 2007, the Financial Accounting Standard Board (“FASB”) issued ASC Topic 805, “Business Combinations,” which became effective for the Company as of October 1, 2009 via prospective application to business combinations. This standard is similar to the corresponding provisions of CICA Section 1582, “Business Combinations”, (refer to Note 1b). As a result of the adoption of ASC Topic 805, tax adjustments for a total amount of $25,455,000 related to the final determinations and expiration of limitation periods were recognized during the six months ended March 31, 2010 as a reduction of the income tax expense rather than applied to goodwill. There were no tax adjustments during the three months ended March 31, 2010. This new accounting treatment is consistent with CICA Section 1582. Consequently, there is no GAAP difference in the three and six months ended March 31, 2010 with respect to these items.

In December 2007, the FASB issued ASC Topic 810, “Consolidation”, which became effective for the Company as of October 1, 2009 via retrospective application. This standard is similar to the corresponding provisions of CICA  Section 1601 “Consolidated Financial Statements” and Section 1602, “Non-Controlling Interests”, (refer to Note 1b). The Company adopted ASC Topic 810 without significant effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

The effects on future periods will depend on the nature and significance of business combinations subject to these standards.
