Principle of consolidation
The consolidated 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 consolidated financial statements are prepared using uniform accounting policies for similar transactions and other events in similar circumstances.
Use of estimates
The preparation of consolidated 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 consolidated financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period reported. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Revenue recognition
Revenue from software development services comprises revenue from time and material and fixed-price contracts. Revenue from time and material contracts are recognized as related services are performed.

CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF WIPRO LIMITED AND SUBSIDIARIES
Intangible assets are amortized over their estimated useful life, as the assets economic benefits are consumed by the Company. Estimated useful life is usually less than 10 years. For certain brands acquired by the Company, based on the performance of various comparable brands in the market, the Company estimated the useful life of those brands to be 20 to 25 years. Accordingly, such intangible assets are being amortized over 20 to 25 years.
Investments

Provision for retirement benefits
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. Liabilities 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. The Company makes annual contributions based on a specified percentage of each covered employee’s salary. From April 1, 2005, the Company discontinued superannuation contributions for certain category of employees and paid such contribution amounts as cash compensation to the employees. The Company has no further obligations under the plan beyond its annual contributions.
Provident fund — In addition to the above benefits, employees receive benefits from a provident fund, a defined contribution plan. 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. The Government mandates the annual yield to be provided to the employees on their corpus. The Company has an obligation to make good the shortfall, if any, between the yield on the investments of trust and the yield mandated by the Government.
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.
Foreign currency transactions
The Company is exposed to currency fluctuations on foreign currency transactions. With a view to minimize the volatility arising from fluctuations in the currency rates, the Company follows established risk management policies, including the use of foreign exchange forward contracts and other derivative instruments.

 


 

CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF WIPRO LIMITED AND SUBSIDIARIES
As a part of the Risk Management Policies, the forward contracts are designated as hedge of highly probable forecasted transactions. The Accounting Standard (AS 11) on “The Effects of Changes on Foreign Exchange Rates”, amended with effect from April 1, 2004 provides guidance on accounting for forward contracts. In respect of forward contracts entered into to hedge foreign exchange risk of highly probable forecasted transactions, the ICAI has clarified that AS 11 is currently not applicable to exchange differences arising from such forward contracts. The premium or discount of such contracts is amortised over the life of the contract in accordance with AS 11 (revised). However, AS 11 will become applicable to exchange differences arising on such contracts effective April 1, 2007.
Foreign currency transactions are recorded at the average rate for the month. Period-end balances of monetary foreign currency assets and liabilities are restated at the closing rate. The exchange difference arising from restatement or settlement is recognized in the profit and loss account.
In respect of forward contracts assigned to the foreign currency assets as on the balance sheet date, the proportionate premium / discount for the period upto the date of balance sheet is recognized in the profit and loss account. The exchange difference on a forward exchange contract is the difference between (a) the foreign currency amount of the contract translated at the exchange rate at the reporting date, or the settlement date where the transaction is settled during the reporting period, and (b) the same foreign currency amount translated at the latter of the date of inception of the forward exchange contract and the last reporting date.
Exchange differences of forward contracts / option contracts designated as hedge of highly probable forecasted transactions are recognised in the profit and loss account in the period in which the forecasted transaction occurs.
Realised / unrealised gains and losses on forward contracts and options not designated as hedges of forecasted transactions are accounted in the profit and loss account for the period.
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 & loss account are translated at the average exchange rate during the period. The differences arising out of the translation are transferred to translation reserve.
Employee stock options
The Company measures the compensation cost relating to employee stock options using the intrinsic value method. The compensation cost is amortized over the total vesting period of the stock options. The Company has followed the ‘Guidance Note on Accounting for Employee Share-based Payments’ issued by the ICAI, while accounting for options granted after April 1, 2005.
Fringe benefit tax
Consequent to the introduction of Fringe Benefit Tax (FBT) effective 1 April 2005, in accordance with the guidance note on accounting for fringe benefits tax issued by the ICAI, the Company has made provision for FBT under income 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 by each entity in the Company. Deferred tax in respect of timing differences which originate during the tax holiday period but reverse after the tax holiday period is recognised in the period in which the timing differences originate. For this purpose the timing difference which originates first is considered to reverse first. 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/ substantial 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 realised. 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

 


 

CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF WIPRO LIMITED AND SUBSIDIARIES
against which such deferred tax assets can be realised. Deferred tax assets are reassessed for the appropriateness of their respective carrying values at each balance sheet date.
The income tax provision for the interim period is made based on the best estimate of the annual average effective tax rate expected to be applicable for full fiscal year. Changes in interim periods to tax provisions, for changes in judgments or settlements relating to tax exposure items of earlier years, are recorded as discrete items in the interim period of change.
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.
Earnings per share
The number of shares used in computing basic earnings per share is the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. 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. The dilution is determined using the treasury stock method. 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 issues.
Cash flow statement
Cash flows are reported using 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.
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 of the amount of the 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.
Impairment of assets
The Company assesses at each balance sheet date whether there is any indication that an 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.

  15.   As of December 31, 2006, forward contracts and options (including zero cost collars) to the extent of USD 141 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 upto the balance sheet date 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 comprises 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 exchange differences on the forward contracts and gain / loss on such options are recognized in the profit and loss account in the period in which the forecasted transaction is expected to occur. The premium / discount at inception of forward contracts is amortised over the life of the contract.
 
      In respect of option/forward contracts which are not designated as hedge of highly probable forecasted transactions, realized / unrealized gain or loss are recognised in the profit and loss account of the respective periods.
 
      As of December 31, 2006, the Company had forward / option contracts to sell USD 172 Million, relating to highly probable forecasted transactions. The effect of mark to market of the designated contracts is a gain of Rs. 95.48 Million.

  16.   The Company adopted Accounting Standard 15 (revised 2005) – Employee benefits (“AS 15”) from April 1, 2006. Pursuant to adoption, the Company has determined the liability for compensated absences in accordance with the revised AS 15. The difference between the transition liability as determined under the revised AS 15 and the liability previously recorded in the financial statements amounting Rs. 46.47 Million has been debited to general reserves. In respect of defined benefit plans , the difference between the transitional liability as per the revised AS 15 and the liability previously recognized in the financial statements amounting Rs. 19.09 Million has been credited to general reserves.

      The weighted average actuarial assumptions used to determine benefit obligations and net periodic gratuity cost for the quarter ended December 31, 2006 are:
         
    2006
Discount rate
    8 %
Rate of increase in compensation levels
    7 %
Rate of return on plan assets
    7 %
      The estimates of future salary increase, considered in actuarial valuation, take account of inflation, seniority, promotion and other relevant factors such as supply & demand factors in the employment market.
 
  17.   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, Wipro GE 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”.
 
  18.   In June 2004, the Company established Wipro Restricted Stock Unit Plan (WRSUP 2004) and Wipro ADS Restricted Stock Unit Plan (WARSUP 2004). The Company is authorized to issue up to 12,000,000 Restricted Stock Units (RSUs) under each plan to eligible employees.
 
      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 over the total vesting period complies with the SEBI Employee Stock Option Scheme Guidelines 1999, as amended.
 
      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 tax and profit after tax for the quarter ended December 31, 2006 would have been higher by Rs. 46.83 Million & Rs. 39.80 Million respectively and the profit before tax and profit after tax for the nine months ended December 31, 2006 would have been higher by Rs. 1.48 Million & Rs. 1.26 Million respectively.
 
      Similarly, the profits before tax and profit after tax for the quarter ended December 31, 2005 would have been lower by Rs. 43.00 Million & Rs. 37.00 Million respectively and the profit before tax and profit after tax for the nine months ended December 31, 2005 would have been lower by Rs. 462.06 Million & Rs. 425.13 Million respectively. Profit before tax and profit after tax for the year ended March 31, 2006 would have been lower by Rs. 490.06 million and Rs. 449.29 million respectively.
 
      In July 2005, the Company established Wipro Restricted Stock Unit Plan (WRSUP 2005). The Company is authorized to issue up to 12,000,000 Restricted Stock Units (RSUs) under the plan to eligible employees.
 
      In July 2006, the Company granted 2,482,560 RSUs under WRSUP 2004 and 918,130 options under WARSUP 2004. The Company also granted 3,556,466 options under WRSUP 2005.
 
      For the quarter ended December 31, 2006 the Company recorded stock compensation expense of Rs. 440.12 Million.

  19.   The Company had received demands from the Indian income tax authorities for the financial years ended March 31, 2001 and 2002 aggregating to Rs. 5,231.72 Million. The tax demands were 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 Company had appealed against the said demands. In March 2006, the first Income tax appellate authority substantially upheld the deductions claimed by the Company under Section 10A of the Act, which vacates a substantial portion of the demands for these years.
 
      In March 2006 and December 2006, the Company received additional tax demand on similar grounds as 2001 and 2002, for the financial years ended March 31, 2003 and March 31, 2004 respectively. The aggregate demand is Rs. 5,895.96 Million (including interest of Rs. 1,503.71 Million). The Company has filed an appeal against the demand for the year ended March 31, 2003 and will file an appeal against the demand for the year ended March 31, 2004 within the prescribed statutory time.
 
      Considering the facts and nature of disallowance, the order of the appellate authority upholding the claims of the Company for financial years ended March 31, 2001 and 2002, the Company believes that the final outcome of the dispute should be positive in favour of the Company and there should not be any material impact on the financial statements.
 
  20.   a) Provision for taxation for the nine months ended on December 31, 2006 comprises the following:
  (i)   Rs. 1,587.47 Million (2005: Rs. 1,235.33 Million & 2006: Rs. 1,605.27 Million) in respect of foreign taxes which includes write back of Rs. 14.57 Million in respect of earlier years.
 
  (ii)   Rs. 1,375.48 Million (2005: Rs. 993.74 Million & 2006: Rs. 1,547.35 Million) in respect of Indian income tax, which includes write back of Rs. 218.95 Million (2005: Rs. 216.38 Million & 2006: Rs. 338.48 Million) in respect of earlier years.
 
  (iii)   Rs. Nil (2005: Nil & 2006: Rs. 7.50 Million) in respect of Wealth Tax.
 
  (iv)   Rs. 159.07 Million (2005: Rs. 178.48 Million & 2006: Rs. 230.86 Million) on account of Fringe Benefit Tax.
  b)   Tax expense for the quarter is based on the estimated effective tax rate for the year. A detailed bifurcation between current tax and deferred tax charge / (benefit) will be made at the year end.
  21.   From time to time, in the normal course of business, the Company transfers accounts receivables and employee advances (financial 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. Additionally, the Company retains servicing responsibility for the transferred financial assets.
 
      Gains and losses on sale of financial assets are recorded based on the carrying value of the financial assets, fair value of servicing liability and recourse obligations. Loss/Profit on sale is recorded at the time of sale.
 
      During the nine months ended December 31, 2006, the Company transferred financial assets of Rs. 281 Million under such arrangements. This transfer resulted in a loss of Rs. 4.60 Million. The maximum amount of recourse obligation in respect of this transfer is limited to 10% of the value of financial assets transferred under the arrangement.
