Company overview
Wipro Limited (Wipro or the Parent), 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, Consumer Care and Lighting and Infrastructure engineering. Wipro is headquartered in Bangalore, India.
 
1.   Significant accounting policies
 
i.   Basis of preparation of financial statements
 
    The condensed consolidated interim financial statements are prepared in accordance with Indian Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) under the historical cost convention and on the accrual basis except for certain financial instruments, which are measured on a fair value 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 condensed consolidated interim financial statements for the quarter and nine months ended December 31, 2009 have been prepared in accordance with the recognition, measurement and disclosure provisions of AS 25, Interim Financial Reporting, issued pursuant to the Companies (Accounting Standards) Rules, 2006 and by the ICAI. 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, 2009. The accounting policies followed in preparation of these financial statements are consistent with those followed in the preparation of the consolidated annual financial statements.
 
ii.   Principles of consolidation
 
    The condensed consolidated interim 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 condensed consolidated interim 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 in accordance with the generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expenses. Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revision to accounting estimate is recognised in the period in which the estimates are revised and in any future period affected.
 
iv.   Fixed assets, intangible assets and capital work-in-progress
 
    Fixed assets are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation. Costs include expenditure directly attributable to the acquisition of the asset. Borrowing costs directly attributable to the construction or production of qualifying assets are capitalized as part of the cost
 
    Intangible assets are stated at the consideration paid for acquisi tion less accumulated amortization.
 
    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.

v.   Investments
 
    Long term investments (other than investment in associate) are stated at cost less any other than temporary decline in the value of such investments. Current investments are valued at lower of cost and fair value determined by category of investment. The fair value is taken as quoted market price adjusted for cost of disposal.
 
    Investment in associate is accounted under the equity method.
 
vi.   Inventories
 
    Inventories are valued at lower of cost and net realizable value, including necessary provision for obsolescence. Cost is determined using the weighted average method.
 
vii.   Provisions and contingent liabilities
 
    Provisions are recognised when the Company has a present obligation as a result of past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of obligation.
 
    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.
 
    The Company recognizes provision for onerous contracts based on the estimate of excess of unavoidable costs of meeting obligations under the contracts over the expected economic benefits.
 
viii.   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 recognised 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.
 
    Products:
 
    Revenue from sale of products is recognised when the product has been delivered, in accordance with the sales contract. Revenues from product sales are shown as net of excise duty, sales tax separately charged and applicable discounts.

    Other income:
 
    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 carrying amount of the related 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.
ix.   Leases
 
    Assets acquired under finance leases are recognised at the lower of the fair value of the leased assets at inception and the present value of minimum lease payments. Lease payments are apportioned between the finance charge and the outstanding liability. The finance charge is allocated to periods during the lease term at a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability.
 
    Lease rentals in respect of assets taken under operating leases are charged to profit and loss account on a straight line basis over the lease term.
 
    Inventories given under finance leases, are recognised at an amount equal to the net investment in the lease and the finance income is based on a constant rate of return on the outstanding net investment .
 
x.   Foreign currency transactions
 
    Transaction:
 
    Foreign currency transactions are accounted in the books of accounts at the average rate for the month.
 
    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 a non-integral foreign operation. In such cases the exchange difference is initially recognised in hedging reserve or translation reserve, respectively. Such exchange differences are subsequently recognised in the profit and loss account on occurrence of the underlying hedged transaction or on disposal of the investment, respectively.
 
    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:
 
    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.

    CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF WIPRO LIMITED AND SUBSIDIARIES
xi.   Financial Instruments
 
    Financial instruments are recognised when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
 
    Derivative instruments and Hedge accounting:
 
    The Company is exposed to foreign currency fluctuations on foreign currency assets, liabilities, net investment in a non-integral 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.
 
    The Company early adopted AS 30 and the limited revisions to other accounting standards which come into effect upon adoption of AS 30 from April 1, 2008. In accordance with the recognition and measurement principles set out in AS 30, changes in fair value of derivative financial instruments designated as cash flow hedges are recognised directly in shareholders’ funds and reclassified into the profit and loss account upon the occurrence of the hedged transaction. The Company also designates 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 determined to be an effective hedge are 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 recognised in the profit and loss account as they arise.
 
    AS 30 states that particular sections of other accounting standards; AS 4, Contingencies and Events Occurring after Balance Sheet Date, to the extent it deals with contingencies, AS 11 (revised 2003), The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates, to the extent it deals with the ‘forward exchange contracts’ and AS 13, Accounting for Investments, except to the extent it relates to accounting for investment properties, will stand withdrawn only from the date AS 30 becomes mandatory (April 1, 2011 for the Company). Accordingly, the Company continues to comply with the guidance in AS 4 – relating to contingencies, AS 11 – relating to forward contracts and AS 13 until AS 30 becomes mandatory.
 
    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 recognised on the balance sheet when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Financial assets are derecognised 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.
 
    The Company measures the financial assets and liabilities, except for derivative financial assets and liabilities at amortized cost using the effective interest method. The Company measures the short -term payables and receivables with no stated rate of interest at original invoice amount, if the effect of discounting is immaterial. Non-interest-bearing deposits are discounted to their present value.

    CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF WIPRO LIMITED AND SUBSIDIARIES
xii.   Depreciation and amortisation
 
    Depreciation is provided on straight line method based on the estimated useful life of the 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 on a straight line basis. 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. Payments for leasehold land are amortised over the period of lease.
xiii.   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 recognised 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.
 
xiv.   Employee 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 INTERIM 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. Long term compensated absences is accrued based on actuarial valuation at the balance sheet date carried out by an indep endent actuary.
 
    Gratuity:
 
    In accordance with applicable Indian laws, the Company provides for gratuity, a defined benefit retirement plan (Gratuity Plan) covering eligible 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) and HDFC Standard Life.
 
    Superannuation:
 
    The employees of the Company also participate in a defined contribution plan maintained by the Company. This plan is administered by the LIC and ICICI Prudential Insurance Company Limited. The Company makes annual contributions based on a specified percentage of each covered employee’s salary.
 
xv.   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.
 
xvi.   Taxes
 
    Income tax:
 
    The current charge for income taxes is calculated in accordance with the relevant tax regulations.
 
    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 of each entity in the Group.
 
    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 first in first out 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.
 
    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.

    The Company offsets, on a year on year basis, the current tax assets and liabilities, where it has a legally enforceable right and where it intends to settle such assets and liabilities on a net basis.
 
xvii.   Earnings per share
 
    Basic:
 
    The number of equity shares used in computing basic earnings per share is the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period excluding equity shares held by controlled trust.
 
    Diluted:
 
    The number of equity shares used in computing diluted earnings per share comprises the weighted average equity 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 s hares.
 
    Dilutive potential equity shares are deemed converted as of the beginning of the period, unless issued at a later date. The number of equity shares and potentially dilutive equity shares are adjusted for any stock splits and bonus shares issued.
 
xviii.   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.

    AS 30 states that particular sections of other accounting standards; AS 4, Contingencies and Events Occurring after Balance sheet Date, to the extent it deals with contingencies, AS 11 (revised 2003), The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates, to the extent it deals with the ‘forward exchange contracts’ and AS 13, Accounting for Investments, except to the extent it relates to accounting for investment properties, would stand withdrawn only from the date AS 30 becomes mandatory (April 1, 2011 for the Company).
 
    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 – relating to Investments until AS 30 becomes mandatory.

17


 

CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF WIPRO LIMITED AND SUBSIDIARIES
  i)   As permitted by AS 30 and the consequent limited revisions to other accounting standards, the Company has designated a yen-denominated foreign currency borrowing amounting to JPY 25 Billion along with a floating for floating Cross-Currency Interest Rate Swap (CCIRS), as a hedging instrument to hedge its net investment in a non-integral foreign operation. In addition, the Company has also designated yen-denominated foreign currency borrowing amounting to JPY 8 Billion along with floating for fixed CCIRS as cash flow hedge of the yen- denominated borrowing and also as a hedge of net investment in a non-integral foreign operation.
 
  ii)   Accordingly, the translation gain/ (loss) on the foreign currency borrowings and portion of the changes in fair value of CCIRS which are determined to be effective hedge of net investment in non -integral operation and cash flow hedge of yen-denominated borrowings aggregating to Rs 326 Million and Rs. 1,438 Million for the quarter and nine months ended December 31, 2009 respectively (quarter and nine months ended December 31, 2008: Rs. (677) Million and Rs. (2,493) Million respectively, March 31, 2009: Rs (3,044) Million) was recognised in translation reserve / hedging reserve in shareholders’ funds. The amount of gain/ (loss) of Rs 325 Million and Rs 1,396 Million for the quarter and nine months ended December 31, 2009 respectively (quarter and nine months ended December 31, 2008: Rs. (503) Million and Rs. (2,319) Million respectively, March 31, 2009: Rs (3,017) Million) recognised in translation reserve would be transferred to profit and loss account upon sale or disposal of non-integral foreign operations and the amount of gain / (loss) of Rs 1 Million and Rs 42 Million for the quarter and nine months ended December 31, 2009 respectively, (quarter and nine months ended December 31, 2008: Rs. (174) Million and Rs. (174) Million respectively, March 31, 2009: Rs (27) Million) recognised in the hedging reserve would be transferred to profit and loss upon occurrence of the hedged transaction.
 
  iii)   In accordance with AS 11, if the Company had continued to recognize translation (losses)/ gains on foreign currency borrowing in the profit and loss account, the foreign currency borrowing would not have been eligible to be combined with CCIRS for hedge accounting. Consequently, the CCIRS also would not have qualified for hedge accounting and changes in fair value of CCIRS would have been recognised in the profit and loss account. As a result profit after tax would have been higher/ (lower) by Rs 326 Million and Rs 1,438 Million for the quarter and nine months ended December 31, 2009 respectively (quarter and nine months ended December 31, 2008: Rs. (677) Million and Rs. (2,493) Million respectively, March 31, 2009: Rs (3,044) Million).
5.   Derivatives
    As of December 31, 2009, the Company has recognised losses of Rs 8,511 Million (December 31, 2008: Rs. 15,922 Million, March 31, 2009: Rs 16,886 Million) relating to derivative financial instruments that are designated as effective cash flow hedges in the shareholders’ funds.
    In addition to the derivative instruments discussed above in Note 4 the Company has also designated certain forward contracts to hedge its net investment in non-integral foreign operations. The Company has recognized gain/ (loss) of Rs. 808 Million and Rs. 1,966 Million for the quarter and nine months ended December 31, 2009 respectively (quarter and nine months ended December 31, 2008: Rs. (1,083) Million and Rs (3,577) Million respectively, March 31, 2009: Rs (4,410) Million) relating to the derivative financial instruments in translation reserve in the shareholders’ funds.

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 interim financial statements”.
 
7.   In December 2009, the Company has entered into a sale and purchase agreement with Lornamead Group Limited to acquire the entire share capital of Lornamead FZE (an entity incorporated in Dubai) and Lornamead Personal Care Private Limited (an entity incorporated in India)for a upfront consideration of Rs. 1,764 Million. The Company has also paid Rs. 348 Million for acquisition of Yardley Trademark, which has been recorded as an intangible assets. Yardley is a strong heritage global brand established since 1770 in the personal care category with fragrance products, bath & shower products and skin care. This acquisition adds to the Company’s strong brand portfolio of personal care products and would increase its presence in the Middle East and other Asian markets. The Company has recorded a goodwill of Rs. 1,625 Million in respect of this acquisition.

8.   Sale of financial assets
    From time to time, in the normal course of business, the Company transfers accounts receivables, net investment in sales-type finance receivables and employee advances (financials assets) to banks. Under the terms of the arrangements, the Company surrenders control over the financial assets and accordingly the transfers are recorded as sale of financial assets. The sale of financial assets may be with or without recourse. Under arrangements with recourse, the Company is obligated to repurchase the uncollected financial assets, subject to limits specified in the agreement with the banks.

11.   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, the second appellate authority upheld the claim of the company for the years ended March 31, 2001, 2002, 2003 and 2004. In December 2008, the Company received, on similar grounds, an additional tax demand of Rs. 5,388 Million (including interest of Rs. 1,615 Million) for the financial year ended March 31, 2005. The Company has filed an appeal against the said demand which is pending before the first appellate authority.
 
    During December 2009, the company received the draft assessment order, on similar grounds, with a demand of Rs. 6,757 Mn (including interest of Rs. 2,050 Mn) for the financial year ended March 31, 2006. The Company will file the objection against the draft order before the Dispute Resolution Panel and the Assessing officer within the time limit permitted under the law.
 
    Considering the facts and nature of disallowance and the order of the first appellate authority upholding Company’s claims for earlier years, the Company expects the final outcome of the above disputes in Wipro’s favour.
