SCHEDULE Q - NOTES TO ACCOUNTS 1) Significant accounting policies a) Basis of Preparation These condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Accounting Standard 25 Interim Financial Reporting (AS - 25) prescribed by the Central Government under section 211(3C) of the Companies Act, 1956. These condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements of the Company for the year ended and as at March 31, 2008. In the opinion of the management, all adjustments which are necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The accounting policies followed in preparation of the condensed financial statements are consistent with those followed in the preparation of the annual financial statements. The results of interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any interim period or for the full year. b) Use of estimates The preparation of financial statements requires the management of the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported balances of assets and liabilities and disclosures relating to the contingent liabilities as at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of income and expenses during the year. Example of such estimates include provisions for doubtful debts, employee benefits, provision for income taxes, accounting for contract costs expected to be incurred to complete software development and the useful lives of fixed assets. c) Fixed Assets Fixed assets are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Costs include all expenses incurred to bring the assets to its present location and condition. Upto March 31, 2007, exchange differences on translation of foreign currency loans obtained to purchase fixed assets from countries outside India are included in the cost of such assets. Fixed assets exclude computers and other assets individually costing Rs. 50,000 or less which are not capitalised except when they are part of a larger capital investment programme. d) Depreciation Depreciation other than on freehold land and capital work-in-progress is charged so as to write-off the cost of assets, on the following basis: Leasehold Land and Buildings Straight line Lease period Freehold Buildings Written down value 5% Leasehold Improvements Straight line Lease period Plant and Machinery Straight line 33.33% Computer Equipment Straight line 25% (previous period: 50%) Motor Cars Written down value 25.89% Office Equipment Written down value 13.91% Electrical Installations Written down value 13.91% Furniture and Fixtures Straight line 100% Intellectual Property / Distribution Rights Straight line 24 36 months Fixed assets purchased specifically for projects are depreciated over the project period. e) Leases Assets leased by the Company in the capacity of the lessee, where the Company has substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are classified as finance lease. Such lease are capitalised at the inception of the lease at lower of the fair value or the present value of the minimum lease payments and a liability is created for an equivalent amount. Each lease rental paid is allocated between the liability and the interest cost so as to obtain a constant periodic rate of interest on the outstanding liability for each year. Lease arrangements where the risks and rewards incident to ownership of an asset substantially vest with the lessor, are recognised as operating leases. Lease rents under operating leases are recognised in the profit and loss account on a straight-line basis.
f) Impairment At each balance sheet date, the Management reviews the carrying amounts of its assets and goodwill included in each cash generating unit to determine whether there is any indication that those assets were impaired. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of impairment loss. Recoverable amount is the higher of an asset s net selling price and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows expected from the continuing use of the asset and from its disposal are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects the current market assessments of time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. Reversal of impairment loss is recognised immediately as income in the profit and loss account. g) Investments Long-term investments are stated at cost, less provision for other than temporary diminution in value. Current investments comprising investments in mutual funds are stated at the lower of cost and fair value, determined on a portfolio basis. h) Employee benefits i) Post-employment benefit plans Contributions to defined contribution retirement benefit schemes are recognized as an expense when employees have rendered services entitling them to contributions. For defined benefit schemes, the cost of providing benefits is determined using the Projected Unit Credit Method, with actuarial valuations being carried out at each balance sheet date. Actuarial gains and losses are recognised in full in the profit and loss account for the period in which they occur. Past service cost is recognised immediately to the extent that the benefits are already vested, and otherwise is amortised on a straight-line basis over the average period until the benefits become vested. The retirement benefit obligation recognised in the balance sheet represents the present value of the defined benefit obligation as adjusted for unrecognised past service cost, and as reduced by the fair value of scheme assets. Any asset resulting from this calculation is limited to the present value of available refunds and reductions in future contributions to the scheme. ii) Short-term employee benefits The undiscounted amount of short-term employee benefits expected to be paid in exchange for the services rendered by employees is recognised during the period when the employee renders the service. These benefits include compensated absences such as paid annual leave, overseas social security contributions and performance incentives. iii) Long-term employee benefits Compensated absences which are not expected to occur within twelve months after the end of the period in which the employee renders the related services are recognized as a liability at the present value of the defined benefit obligation at the balance sheet date. i) Revenue recognition Revenues from contracts priced on a time and materials basis are recognised when services are rendered and related costs are incurred. Revenues from turnkey contracts, which are generally time bound fixed price contracts, are recognised over the life of the contract using the proportionate completion method, with contract costs determining the degree of completion. Foreseeable losses on such contracts are recognised when probable. Revenues from the sale of equipment are recognised upon delivery, which is when title passes to the customer. Revenue from sale of software licences are recognised upon delivery where there is no customization required. In case of customization the same is recognised over the life of the contract using the proportionate completion method.
Revenues from maintenance contracts are recognised pro-rata over the period of the contract. Revenues from Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) services are recognised on time and material, fixed price and unit priced contracts. Revenue on time and material, unit priced contracts is recognised as the related services are rendered. Revenue from fixed price contracts is recognized as per the proportionate completion method with contract cost determining the degree of completion. Dividends are recorded when the right to receive payment is established. Interest income is recognised on time proportion basis. j) Research and Development Research and Development expenditure is recognised in the profit and loss account when incurred. Fixed assets utilised for research and development are capitalised and depreciated in accordance with the depreciation rates set out in note 1(d). k) Taxation Current income tax expense comprises taxes on income from operations in India and in foreign jurisdictions. Income tax payable in India is determined in accordance with the provisions of the Income Tax Act, 1961. Tax expense relating to foreign operations is determined in accordance with tax laws applicable in countries where such operations are domiciled. Minimum alternative tax (MAT) paid in accordance to the tax laws, which gives rise to future economic benefits in the form of adjustment of future income tax liability, is considered as an asset if there is convincing evidence that the Company will pay normal income tax after the tax holiday period. Accordingly, MAT is recognized as an asset in the balance sheet when it is probable that the future economic benefit associated with it will flow to the Company and the asset can be measured reliably. Deferred tax expense or benefit is recognised on timing differences being the difference between taxable income and accounting income that originate in one period and are capable of reversal in one or more subsequent periods. 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. In the event of unabsorbed depreciation and carry forward of losses, deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that there is virtual certainty that sufficient taxable income will be available to realise such assets. In other situations, deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that there is reasonable certainty that sufficient future taxable income will be available to realise these assets. Advance taxes and provisions for current income taxes are presented in the balance sheet after offsetting advance taxes paid and income tax provisions arising in the same tax jurisdiction and the Company intends to settle the asset and liability on a net basis. The Company offsets deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities if it has a legally enforceable right and these relate to taxes on income levied by the same governing taxation laws. l) Foreign currency transactions Income and expenses in foreign currencies are converted at exchange rates prevailing on the date of the transaction. Foreign currency monetary assets and liabilities other than net investments in nonintegral foreign operations are translated at the exchange rate prevailing on the balance sheet date. Exchange difference arising on a monetary item that, in substance, forms part of an enterprises net investments in a non-integral foreign operation are accumulated in a foreign currency translation reserve. Premium or discount on forward exchange contracts are amortized and recognized in the profit and loss account over the period of the contract. Forward contracts and currency options outstanding at the balance sheet date, other than designated cash flow hedges, are stated at fair values and any gains or losses are recognised in the profit and loss account. m) Derivative instruments and hedge accounting The Company uses foreign currency forward contracts and currency options to hedge its risks associated with foreign currency fluctuations relating to certain firm commitments and forecasted transactions. The Company designates these hedging instruments as cash flow hedges applying the recognition and measurement principles set out in the Accounting Standard 30 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement (AS 30).
The use of hedging instruments is governed by the Company s policies approved by the board of directors, which provide written principles on the use of such financial derivatives consistent with the Company s risk management strategy. Hedging instruments are initially measured at fair value, and are remeasured at subsequent reporting dates. Changes in the fair value of these derivatives that are designated and effective as hedges of future cash flows are recognised directly in shareholders funds and the ineffective portion is recognised immediately in the profit and loss account. Changes in the fair value of derivative financial instruments that do not qualify for hedge accounting are recognised in the profit and loss account as they arise. Hedge accounting is discontinued when the hedging instrument expires or is sold, terminated, or exercised, or no longer qualifies for hedge accounting. At that time for forecasted transactions, any cumulative gain or loss on the hedging instrument recognised in shareholders funds is retained there until the forecasted transaction occurs. If a hedged transaction is no longer expected to occur, the net cumulative gain or loss recognised in shareholders funds is transferred to the profit and loss account for the period. n) Inventories Raw materials, sub-assemblies and components are carried at lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost is determined on a weighted average basis. Purchased goods in transit are carried at cost. Work-in-progress is carried at lower of cost and net realisable value. Stores and spare parts are carried at cost, less provision for obsolescence. Finished goods produced or purchased by the Company are carried at lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost includes direct material and labour cost and a proportion of manufacturing overheads. 2) The Company has given undertakings to (a) Bank of China Co. Limited, not to transfer its controlling interest in Financial Network Services Pty Limited, (b) The Government of Madhya Pradesh not to divest its shareholding in MP Online Limited except to an affiliate, (c) State Bank of India not to sell, transfer or otherwise dispose off its share or any interest in C-Edge Technologies Limited. 3) Consequent to the Guidance on implementing Accounting Standard 15 Employee Benefits (AS-15) which clarifies the applicability of the Accounting Standard, the Company has considered certain entitlements to earned leave which can be carried forward to future periods as a long-term employee benefit. The resultant reduction of Rs. Nil (March 31, 2008: Rs. 28.67 crores - net of deferred tax) in the net liability in respect of employee benefit arising on April 1, 2006, the date of adoption has been adjusted to General Reserves. 4) Unbilled revenue as at June 30, 2008 amounting to Rs.943.39 crores (March 31, 2008: Rs. 870.18 crores) primarily comprises of the revenue recognised in relation to efforts incurred on turnkey contracts priced on a fixed time, fixed price basis. 5) Sale of Equipment is net of excise duty Rs.0.52 crores. (June 30, 2007: Rs. 0.42 crores). 6) The useful life of computer equipment has been reviewed by the management and the original estimate of the useful life of these assets has been revised to four years. The unamortized depreciable amount is charged over the revised remaining useful life of these assets. Consequently, depreciation for the period is lower by Rs. 49.66 crores and the profit for the period is higher by the corresponding amount. 7) Current tax is net of the effect of write-back of provisions and refunds received in domestic and certain overseas jurisdictions relating to earlier years, of Rs. 31.74 crores (June 30, 2007: Rs. 29.97 crores).
