The functional currency of the Company is SGD and the reporting currency for these financial statements is INR. These financial statements have been prepared and audited to attach with the accounts of the holding company, to comply with the provisions of Indian Companies Act, 1956. 10.2 Basis of preparation of financial statements These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Generally accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) in India under the historical cost convention on the accrual basis. GAAP comprises accounting standards notified by the Central Government of India under section 211(3C) of the Companies Act 1956, other pronouncements of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India and the relevant provisions of the Companies Act, 1956. 10.3 Use of estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in India requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount 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. Any revision in accounting estimates is recognized prospectively in current and future periods. 10.4 Revenue recognition Revenue from the sale of goods is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, net of returns and allowances, trade discount and volume rebates. Revenue is recognized when the significant risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred to the buyer, recovery of the consideration is probable, the associate costs and possible return of goods can be estimated reliably and there is no continuing management involvement with the goods. The point of transfer of risks and rewards vary depending on the terms of the contract of sale with individual customers. For sale of products, transfer of risk and rewards usually occurs when the product is delivered at the customer s warehouse. However, for some international shipments, transfer, as per the t erms of sale, occurs upon handing over of the goods to the carrier. Profit on sale of investment is recorded upon transfer of title by the company and is determined as the difference between the sales price and the then carrying value of the investment. Other income is recognized on accrual basis. Reimbursement of expenses from the holding company is accounted as a reduction from expenses. 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 recognized. Profit on sale of investments is recorded upon transfer of title by the company and is determined as the difference between the sales price and the then carrying value of the investment. Other income is recognized on accrual basis. 10.5 Fixed Assets and Depreciation Fixed assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses if any. Cost includes all expenditures directly attributable to the acquisition of the asset. The cost of selfconstructed assets includes the cost of materials and direct labour, any other costs directly attributable to bringing the asset to a working condition for its intended use. Purchased software that is integral to the functionality of the related equipment is capitalized as part of that equipment. Any subsequent expenditure related to fixed asset that increases the future benefits from the existing asset beyond its previously assessed standard of performance is included in the gross book value, e.g., an increase in capacity.
The costs of the day-to-day servicing of property, plant and equipment are recognized in the income statement as incurred. Depreciation is recognized in the income statement on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives (or lease term, if shorter) of each item of property, plant and equipment, etc. 10.6 Foreign currency transactions 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. 10.7 Translation of financial statements The Company is a foreign subsidiary of Wipro Limited and has been treated as a non integral operating unit for translation. For the purpose of accounts during the period, all income and expenses items are converted at the average rate of exchange applicable for the period. All assets and liabilities are translated at the closing rate on the balance sheet date. The equity share capital, reserves and investment in subsidiaries are carried forward at the rate of exchange prevailing on the transaction date. All resulting exchange difference arising out of year-end conversion has been transferred to Translation Reserve in Reserve and Surplus. 10.8 Investments Long term Investments 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. 10.9 Goodwill Goodwill acquired on acquisition of business/assets is not amortised. It is tested for impairment on a periodic basis and written off if found impaired. Goodwill acquired on amalgamation in nature of purchase is amortised over the estimated useful life. 10.10 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 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 against which such deferred tax assets can be realised. Deferred tax assets are reassessed for the appropriateness of their respective carrying amounts at each balance sheet date. 10.11 Earnings per share The number of shares used in computing basic earning per share is the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year. 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, that are not anti dilutive in nature. 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.
10.12 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 operating, investing and financing activities of the Company are segregated. 10.13 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. Provisions for onerous contracts, i.e. contracts where the expected unavoidable costs of meeting the obligations under the contract exceed the economic benefits expected to be received under it, are recognized when it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle a present obligation as a result of an obligating event, based on a reliable estimate of such obligation. 10.14 Impairment of assets The Company assesses at each balance sheet date whether there is any indication that an asset 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 assess ed 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.
