ANNEXURE B

The source of funds used to acquire Shares by Venturbay (including the funds anticipated to be used to acquire Shares in the Offer) was from internal resources, optionally convertible domestic debt, equity by Tech Mahindra in Venturbay and debt extended by Tech Mahindra to Venturbay. The total consideration used to purchase the Shares in the issuance of Shares by the Company to Venturbay (the “Initial Allotment”) was Rs. 17,56,03,30,966 (approximately US$351 million based on an exchange rate of Rs. 50 to US$1). In connection with Venturbay’s anticipated acquisition of Shares in the Initial Allotment and Offer, (1) Tech Mahindra has infused funds in Venturbay by using cash on hand, which includes funds that Tech Mahindra previously had available to it for general corporate purposes such as capital expenditures and working capital needs, and (2) Venturbay raised capital through the issuance of optionally convertible debentures (as described in more detail in the next sentence). In connection with its acquisition of the Shares, Venturbay has issued optionally convertible debentures to various institutional investors for an aggregate consideration of Rs. 550 Crores (approximately US$110 million based on the above-stated exchange rate) in the aggregate, at an effective interest rate of approximately 15%, which indebtedness matures over a period of three years or may be converted into equity at the end of three years. It is anticipated that this indebtedness will be paid from proceeds from operations and/or future capital raising transactions.

Separately, Tech Mahindra has borrowed Rs. 1450 Crores (approximately US$290 million based on the above-stated exchange rate) from various banks, mutual funds, institutions & non banking financial institutions at an effective interest rate of approximately 10%, which indebtedness matures over a period of one to five years. This indebtedness has been incurred in connection with Tech Mahindra’s anticipated need for increased working capital & capital expenditures in the coming years. It is anticipated that this indebtedness also will be paid from proceeds from operations and/or future capital raising transactions.

Tech Mahindra Limited

Schedule XIII

Schedules forming part of the Consolidated Balance Sheet and Profit and Loss Account

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND NOTES ON ACCOUNTS FORMING PART OF CONSOLIDATED ACCOUNTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED MARCH 31, 2009

 

1. Significant accounting policies:

 

  (a) Basis for preparation of accounts:

The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements of Tech Mahindra Limited (TML) (“the holding company”) and its subsidiaries are prepared in accordance with the generally accepted accounting principles applicable in India (Indian GAAP), the provisions of the Companies Act, 1956 and the Accounting Standards to the extent possible in the same format as that adopted by the holding company for its separate financial statements.

The financial statements of the subsidiaries used in the consolidation are drawn up to the same reporting date as that of the holding company namely March 31, 2009.

 

  (b) Principles of consolidation:

The financial statements of the holding company and its subsidiaries have been consolidated on a line by line basis by adding together the book value of like items of assets, liabilities, income, expenses, after eliminating intra—group transactions and any unrealized gain or losses on the balances remaining within the group in accordance with the Accounting Standard—21 on “Consolidated Financial Statements” (AS 21).

The financial statements of the holding company and its subsidiaries have been consolidated using uniform accounting policies for like transaction and other events in similar circumstances.

The excess of cost of investments in the subsidiary company/s over the share of the equity of the subsidiary company/s at the date on which the investment in the subsidiary company/s is made is recognized as ‘Goodwill on Consolidation’ and is grouped with Fixed Assets in the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Alternatively, where the share of equity in the subsidiary company/s as on the date of investment is in excess of cost of the investment, it is recognized as ‘Capital Reserve’ and grouped with ‘Reserves and Surplus’, in the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Minority interest in the net assets of the consolidated subsidiaries consists of the amount of equity attributable to the minority shareholders at the dates on which investments are made in the subsidiary company/s and further movements in their share in the equity, subsequent to the dates of investments. Minority interest also includes share application money received from minority shareholders. The losses in subsidiary/s attributable to the minority shareholder are recognized to the extent of their interest in the equity of the subsidiary/s.

 

  (c) Use of Estimates:

The preparation of Consolidated Financial Statements, in conformity with the generally accepted accounting principles, requires estimates and assumptions to be made that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities on the date of financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported year. Differences between the actual results and estimates are recognised in the year in which the results are known/ materialised.

 

25


  (d) Fixed Assets including intangible assets

Fixed assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Costs comprise purchase price and attributable costs, if any.

 

  (e) Leases:

Assets taken on lease by TML are accounted for as fixed assets in accordance with Accounting Standard 19 on “Leases”, (AS 19).

 

  (i) Finance lease

Assets taken on finance lease are accounted for as fixed assets at fair value. Lease payments are apportioned between finance charge and reduction of outstanding liability.

 

  (ii) Operating lease

Assets taken on lease under which all risks and rewards of ownership are effectively retained by the lessor are classified as operating lease. Lease payments under operating leases are recognised as expenses on accrual basis in accordance with the respective lease agreements.

 

  (f) Depreciation / Amortisation of fixed assets:

 

  (i) Depreciation for all fixed assets including for assets taken on lease is computed using the straight-line method based on estimated useful lives. Depreciation is charged on a pro-rata basis for assets purchased or sold during the year. Management's estimate of the useful life of fixed assets is as follows:

 

Buildings

   15 years

Computers

   3-4 years

Plant and machinery

   3-5 years

Furniture and fixtures

   5 years

Vehicles

   3-5 years

 

  (ii) Leasehold land is amortised over the period of lease.

 

  (iii) Leasehold improvements are amortised over the period of lease or period of occupancy which ever is less.

 

  (iv) Intellectual property rights are amortised over a period of seven years.

 

  (v) Assets costing upto Rs. 5,000 are fully depreciated in the year of purchase.

 

  (g) Impairment of Assets:

At the end of each year, the company determines whether a provision should be made for impairment loss on fixed assets by considering the indications that an impairment loss may have occurred in accordance with Accounting Standard 28 on ‘‘Impairment of Assets’’. Where the recoverable amount of any fixed asset is lower than its carrying amount, a provision for impairment loss on fixed assets is made for the difference. 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 if any is recognised immediately as income in the Profit and Loss Account.

 

  (h) Investments:

Long-term investments are carried at cost. Provision is made to recognise a decline other than temporary in the carrying amount of long term investments.

 

26


Current investments are carried at lower of cost and fair value.

 

  (i) Inventories :

Components and parts:

Components and parts are valued at lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost is determined on First – In – First Out basis.

Work in progress:

An ongoing work to develop computer software is recognized only when a significant portion of the deliverable work is completed, and is valued at the lower of cost and estimated net realizable value. The cost of work in progress is arrived at after considering all direct costs including the depreciation cost on all capital goods that are deployed directly or indirectly for the development of any modules and indirect costs as have been specifically incurred for the development of the various modules.

Finished Goods:

Valued at the lower of the cost or net realisable value. Cost is determined on First-In-First Out basis.

 

  (j) Revenue recognition:

Revenue from software services and business process outsourcing services include revenue earned from services rendered on ‘time and material’ basis, time bound fixed price engagements and system integration projects.

The related revenue is recognized as and when services are rendered. Income from services performed by TML pending receipt of purchase orders from customers, which are invoiced subsequently on receipt thereof, are recognized as unbilled revenue.

Foreign currency unbilled revenue is recognised at month end foreign currency closing rate. On receipt of purchase orders, the amounts are billed to the customer & the revenue is booked at the exchange rate prevailing on the transaction date.

The Companies also perform time bound fixed price engagements, under which revenue is recognized using the proportionate completion method of accounting, unless work completed cannot be reasonably estimated. Provision for estimated losses, if any on uncompleted contracts are recorded in the year in which such losses become probable based on the current contract estimates.

Revenue of sale of software and hardware products is recognised at the point of dispatch to the customer.

Dividend income is recognized when the Company’s right to receive dividend is established. Interest income is recognized on time proportion basis.

 

  (k) Expenditure:

The cost of software purchased for use in software development and services is charged to cost of revenues in the year of acquisition

 

  (l) (a) Foreign currency transactions:

Transactions in foreign currencies are recorded at the exchange rates prevailing on the date of transaction. Monetary items are translated at the year end rates. The exchange difference between the rate prevailing on the date of transaction and on the date of settlement as also on translation of monetary items at the end of the year is recognised as income or expense, as the case may be.

Any premium or discount arising at the inception of the forward exchange contract is recognized as income or expense over the life of the contract, except in the case where the contract is designated as a cash flow hedge.

 

27


  (b) Derivative instruments and hedge accounting:

The Company uses foreign currency forward contracts / options to hedge its risks associated with foreign currency fluctuations relating to certain forecasted transactions. Effective 01st April 2007 the Company designates these as cash flow hedges applying the recognition and measurement principles set out in the Accounting Standard 30 “Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurements” (AS-30).

The use of foreign currency forward contracts/options 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. The counter party to the Company’s foreign currency forward contracts is generally a bank. The Company does not use derivative financial instruments for speculative purposes.

Foreign currency forward contract/option derivative 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 recognized directly in reserves and the ineffective portion is recognized immediately in profit and loss account.

Changes in the fair value of derivative financial instruments that do not qualify for hedge accounting are recognized 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. If a hedged transaction is no longer expected to occur, the net cumulative gain or loss recognized in reserves is transferred to profit and loss account.

 

  (m) Translation and Accounting of Financial Statement of Foreign subsidiaries:

In respect of foreign subsidiaries, the company has classified all of them as “Non-Integral Foreign Operations” in terms of AS 11.

The financial statements of the foreign subsidiaries for the purpose of consolidation are translated to Indian Rupees as follows:

 

  a. All incomes and expenses are translated at the average rate of exchange prevailing during the year.

 

  b. Assets and liabilities are translated at the closing rate as on the Balance sheet date.

 

  c. The resulting exchange differences are accumulated in currency translation reserve which is shown under Reserves & Surplus.

 

  (n) Employee Retirement Benefits:

 

  a) Gratuity:

The Company provides for gratuity, a defined retirement benefit plan covering eligible employees. The Gratuity plan provides for a lump sum payment to employees at retirement, death, incapacitation or termination of the employment based on the respective employee’s salary and the tenure of the employment. Liabilities with regard to a Gratuity plan are determined based on the actuarial valuation carried out by an independent actuary as of the Balance Sheet date for TML and its Indian subsidiaries.

Actuarial gains and losses are recognised in full in the Profit and Loss account for the year in which they occur.

 

  b) Provident fund:

The eligible employees of TML and its Indian subsidiaries are entitled to receive the benefits of Provident fund, a defined contribution plan, in which both employees and the Company make monthly

 

28


contributions at a specified percentage of the covered employees’ salary (currently at 12% of the basic salary). The contributions as specified under the law are paid to the Regional Provident Fund Commissioner by the Company.

 

  c) Compensated absences:

The Company provides for the encashment of leave subject to certain rules. The employees are entitled to accumulate leave subject to certain limits, for future encashment or availment. The liability is provided based on the number of days of unavailed leave at balance sheet date on the basis of an independent actuarial valuation for TML and its Indian subsidiaries. Whereas provision for encashment of unavailed leave on retirement is made on actual basis for Tech Mahindra (Americas) Inc. (TMA), Tech Mahindra GmbH (TMGMBH), CanvasM Technologies Limited (CTL) and Tech Mahindra (Singapore) Pte. Ltd. (TMSL), TML does not expect the difference on account of varying methods to be material.

Actuarial gains and losses are recognised in full in the Profit and Loss account for the year in which they occur.

The company also offers a short term benefit in the form of encashment of unavailed accumulated leave above certain limit for all of its employees and same is being provided for in the books at actual cost.

 

  (o) Borrowing costs:

Borrowing costs that are attributable to the acquisition or construction of qualifying assets are capitalized as part of the cost of such assets. A qualifying asset is one that necessarily takes a substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use or sale. All other borrowing costs are charged to revenue.

 

  (p) Taxation:

Tax expense comprises of current tax, deferred tax and fringe benefit tax. Current tax is measured at the amount expected to be paid to/recovered from the tax authorities, based on estimated tax liability computed after taking credit for allowances and exemption in accordance with the local tax laws existing in the respective countries.

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 tax after the tax holiday year. Accordingly, it 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 assets and liabilities are recognised for future tax consequences attributable to timing differences between taxable income and accounting income that are capable of reversal in one or more subsequent years and are measured using relevant enacted tax rates. The carrying amount of deferred tax assets at each Balance Sheet date is reduced to the extent that it is no longer reasonably certain that sufficient future taxable income will be available against which the deferred tax asset can be realized.

Fringe benefit tax is recognized in accordance with the relevant provisions of the Income-tax Act, 1961 and the Guidance Note on Fringe Benefits Tax issued by the ICAI.

Tax on distributed profits payable in accordance with the provisions of the Income-tax Act, 1961 is disclosed in accordance with the Guidance Note on Accounting for Corporate Dividend Tax issued by the ICAI.

 

29


  (q) Contingent Liabilities:

These, if any, are disclosed in the notes on accounts. Provision is made in the accounts if it becomes probable that any outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation arising out of past events.

The consideration so payable would be accounted in the books of account in the year of achieving the milestones under the agreement. The total contingent consideration is payable in cash and cannot exceed Rs. 641 Million. Accordingly, total earn out payment of Rs. 155 Million had been provided as additional cost of acquisition till March 31, 2008

 

6. (a) Tech Mahindra (R & D services) Limited and iPolicy Networks Limited—wholly owned subsidiaries of TML have been amalgamated with the company with effect from April 1, 2008 in terms of the scheme of amalgamation (‘scheme’) sanctioned by the Honorable High Court of judicature at Mumbai, Delhi & Karnataka vide their approvals dated March 28, 2008, April 4, 2008 & April 3, 2008 respectively.

Tech Mahindra (R & D services) Limited provides technology solutions to leading Telecom Equipment Manufacturers in the areas of Research and Development (R & D), Product, Engineering and Life Cycle Support. iPolicy Networks Limited develops next—generation, carrier-grade integrated network security solutions for enterprise and service providers.

The mergers would result in operational synergies; enhance financial strength and rationalization of costs. Accordingly the above stated subsidiaries stand dissolved without winding up and all assets and liabilities have been transferred to and vested with the company with effect from April 1, 2008, the appointed date. As the above stated subsidiaries were wholly owned by the company, no shares were exchanged to effect the amalgamation. The amalgamation was accounted as per the ‘pooling of interest’ method as prescribed in Accounting Standard 14. All the assets and liabilities have been taken over at their respective book values as at the date of amalgamation.

In accordance with the “Scheme” of amalgamation approved by the Honorable High Courts, the excess of liabilities over the assets have been charged to general reserves. Accordingly the share capital and reserves of the company were adjusted against general reserves of TML.

Had the treatment based on Accounting Statement 14 on “Accounting for Amalgamation” followed, securities premium, capital reserves and profit and loss account (on amalgamation) would have been higher by Rs. 252 Million, Rs. 1 Million and Rs. 517 Million respectively and general reserves would have been lower by Rs. 769 million.

(b) The Board of Tech Mahindra (R&D Services) Inc. (TMRDS), a subsidiary of TML had approved the plan and agreement for amalgamation with its fellow subsidiary Tech Mahindra Americas Inc. (TMA) effective July 01, 2008. The amalgamation has been duly authorized in compliance with the jurisdictional laws. According to these authorizations, TMRDS ceased to exist on and after July 1, 2008.

 

7. During the year ended March 31, 2009, the Company has made investment of Rs. 0.08 Million in Venturbay Consultants Private Limited. As a result, VCPL has become a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company with effect from the date of this investment.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND NOTES ON ACCOUNTS FORMING PART OF CONSOLIDATED ACCOUNTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED MARCH 31, 2008

 

1. Significant accounting policies:

 

  (a) Basis for preparation of accounts:

The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements of Tech Mahindra Limited (TML) (“the holding company”) and its subsidiaries are prepared under the historical cost convention in accordance with the generally accepted accounting principles applicable in India (Indian GAAP), the provisions of the Companies Act, 1956 and the Accounting Standards to the extent possible in the same format as that adopted by the holding company for its separate financial statements.

The financial statements of the subsidiaries used in the consolidation are drawn up to the same reporting date as that of the holding company namely March 31, 2008.

 

  (b) Principles of consolidation:

The financial statements of the holding company and its subsidiaries have been consolidated on a line by line basis by adding together the book value of like items of assets, liabilities, income, expenses, after eliminating intra—group transactions and any unrealized gain or losses on the balances remaining within the group in accordance with the Accounting Standard—21 on “Consolidated Financial Statements” (AS 21).

The financial statements of the holding company and its subsidiaries have been consolidated using uniform accounting policies for like transaction and other events in similar circumstances.

The excess of cost of investments in the subsidiary company/s over the share of the equity of the subsidiary company’s at the date on which the investment in the subsidiary company’s is made is recognized as ‘Goodwill on Consolidation’ and is grouped with Fixed Assets in the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Alternatively, where the share of equity in the subsidiary company/s as on the date of investment is in excess of cost of the investment, it is recognized as ‘Capital Reserve’ and grouped with ‘Reserves and Surplus’, in the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Minority interest in the net assets of the consolidated subsidiaries consists of the amount of equity attributable to the minority shareholders at the dates on which investments are made in the subsidiary company’s and further movements in their share in the equity, subsequent to the dates of investments. Minority interest also includes share application money received from minority shareholders. The losses in subsidiary’s attributable to the minority shareholder are recognized to the extent of their interest in the equity of the subsidiary’s.

 

  (c) Use of Estimates:

The preparation of Consolidated Financial Statements, in conformity with the generally accepted accounting principles, requires estimates and assumptions to be made that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities on the date of financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported year. Differences between the actual results and estimates are recognised in the year in which the results are known/ materialised.

 

  (d) Fixed Assets

Fixed assets are stated at cost less depreciation. Costs comprise purchase price and attributable costs, if any.

 

62


  (e) Leases:

Assets taken on lease by TML are accounted for as fixed assets in accordance with Accounting Standard 19 on “Leases”, (AS 19).

 

  (i) Finance lease

Assets taken on finance lease are accounted for as fixed assets at fair value. Lease payments are apportioned between finance charge and reduction of outstanding liability.

 

  (ii) Operating lease

Assets taken on lease under which all risks and rewards of ownership are effectively retained by the lessor are classified as operating lease. Lease payments under operating leases are recognised as expenses on accrual basis in accordance with the respective lease agreements.

 

  (f) Depreciation/Amortisation of fixed assets:

 

  (i) Depreciation for all fixed assets including for assets taken on lease is computed using the straight-line method based on estimated useful lives. Depreciation is charged on a pro-rata basis for assets purchased or sold during the year. Management’s estimate of the useful life of fixed assets is as follows:

 

Buildings    15 years
Computers    3-4 years
Plant and machinery    3-5 years
Furniture and fixtures    5 years
Vehicles    3-5 years

 

  (ii) Leasehold land is amortised over the period of lease.

 

  (iii) Leasehold improvements are amortised over the period of lease.

 

  (iv) Intellectual property rights are amortised over a period of seven years.

 

  (g) Impairment of Assets:

At the end of the year, each company determines whether a provision should be made for impairment loss on fixed assets by considering the indications that an impairment loss may have occurred in accordance with Accounting Standard 28 on “Impairment of Assets”. Where the recoverable amount of any fixed asset is lower than its carrying amount, a provision for impairment loss on fixed assets is made for the difference. 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 if any, is recognised immediately as income in the Profit and Loss Account.

 

  (h) Investments:

Current investments are carried at lower of cost and fair value. Long-term investments are carried at cost. Provision is made to recognise a decline other than temporary in the carrying amount of long term investments.

 

  (i) Inventories:

Valued at the lower of the cost and net realisable value. Cost is determined on First-In-First-Out basis.

 

63


  (j) Revenue recognition:

Revenue from software services and business process outsourcing services include revenue earned from services performed on ‘time and material’ basis, time bound fixed price engagements and system integration projects.

The related revenue is recognized as and when services are performed. Income from services performed by TML pending receipt of purchase orders from customers, which are invoiced subsequently on receipt thereof, are recognized as unbilled revenue.

The Companies also perform time bound fixed price engagements, under which revenue is recognized using the proportionate completion method of accounting, unless work completed cannot be reasonably estimated. Provision for estimated losses, if any on uncompleted contracts are recorded in the year in which such losses become probable based on the current contract estimates. In respect of iPolicy Networks Limited revenue of sale of software and hardware products are recognised at the point of dispatch to the customer.

Unbilled revenue is recognised at month closing rate. On receipt of POs, the amounts are billed to the customer & the revenue is booked at the prevailing rate.

Dividend income is recognized when the Company’s right to receive dividend is established. Interest income is recognized on time proportion basis.

 

  (k) Expenditure:

The cost of software purchased for use in software development and services is charged to cost of revenues in the year of acquisition

 

  (l) i) Foreign currency transactions:

Transactions in foreign currencies are recorded at the exchange rates prevailing on the date of transaction. Monetary items are translated at the year -end rates. The exchange difference between the rate prevailing on the date of transaction and on the date of settlement as also on translation of monetary items at the end of the year is recognised as income or expense, as the case may be.

Any premium or discount arising at the inception of the forward exchange contract is recognized as income or expense over the life of the contract, except in the case where the contract is designated as a cash flow hedge.

 

  ii) Derivative instruments and hedge accounting;

The Company uses foreign currency forward contracts to hedge its risks associated with foreign currency fluctuations relating to certain firm commitments and forecasted transactions. The Company designates these as cash flow hedges applying the recognition and measurements principles set out in the Accounting Standard 30 “Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurements” (AS-30).

The use of foreign currency forward contracts 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. The Company does not use derivative financial instruments for speculative purposes.

Foreign currency forward contract derivative 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 recognized directly in reserves and the ineffective portion is recognized immediately in profit and loss account.

Changes in the fair value of derivative financial instruments that do not qualify for hedge accounting are recognized in the profit and loss account as they arise.

 

64


Hedge accounting is discontinued when the hedging instrument expires or is sold, terminated, or exercised, or no longer qualifies for hedge accounting. If a hedged transaction is no longer expected to occur, the net cumulative gain or loss recognized in reserves is transferred to profit and loss account.

 

  iii) Accounting for Exchange gain/(loss):

The Company enters into foreign exchange forward contracts to off set the foreign currency risk arising from the amounts denominated in currencies other than the Indian Rupee. The counter party to the Company’s foreign currency forward contracts is generally a bank.

Pending the issue of an accounting standard under Indian GAAP to cover forward exchange contracts entered into to hedge foreign currency risk of a firm commitment or highly probable forecast transactions, the exchange differences arising on such contracts up to 31st March, 2007 were recognized in the statement of profit or loss in the reporting year.

Effective 1st April, 2007, the Company has designated the outstanding forward exchange contracts as cash flow hedges. Changes in the fair value of effective forward exchange contract are recognized directly in reserves and the ineffective portion is recognized immediately in profit and loss account.

Consequent to this change in accounting for such contracts, the profit for the year ended March 31, 2008 is lower by Rs. 851 Million and Reserves and Surplus are higher by Rs 851 Million.

 

  (m) Translation and Accounting of Financial Statement of Foreign subsidiaries:

The financial statements are translated to Indian Rupees in accordance with the guidance issued by the ICAI in the background material to AS 21 as follows:

 

  a. All incomes and expenses are translated at the moving average rate of exchange prevailing during the year.

 

  b. Assets and liabilities are translated at the closing rate on the Balance sheet date.

 

  c. Share Capital is translated at historical rate.

 

  d. The resulting exchange differences are accumulated in currency translation reserve.

 

  (n) Employee Retirement Benefits:

 

  a) Gratuity:

The Company provides for gratuity, a defined retirement benefit plan covering eligible employees. The Gratuity plan provides for a lump sum payment to employees at retirement, death, incapacitation or termination of the employment based on the respective employee’s salary and the tenure of the employment. Liabilities with regard to a Gratuity plan are determined based on the actuarial valuation carried out by an independent actuary as of the Balance Sheet date for TML and its Indian subsidiaries.

In respect of a subsidiary, viz., Tech Mahindra (R&D Services) Limited where the gratuity liability is funded, liability towards gratuity is provided for shortfall, if any, between accrued liabilities as determined on actuarial valuation and fund balance. (Refer to note 9 below).

 

  b) Provident fund:

The eligible employees of TML and its Indian subsidiaries are entitled to receive the benefits of Provident fund, a defined contribution plan, in which both employees and the Company make monthly contributions at a specified percentage of the covered employees’ salary (currently at 12% of the basic salary). The contributions as specified under the law are paid to the Regional Provident Fund Commissioner by the Company.

 

65


  c) Compensated absences:

The Company provides for the encashment of leave subject to certain rules. The employees are entitled to accumulate leave subject to certain limits, for future encashment or availment. The liability is provided based on the number of days of unavailed leave at balance sheet date on the basis of an independent actuarial valuation for TML and its Indian subsidiaries. Whereas provision for encashment of unavailed leave on retirement is made on actual basis for Tech Mahindra (Americas) Inc.(TMA), Tech Mahindra GmbH(TMGMBH) and Tech Mahindra (Singapore) Pte. Ltd.(TMSL), TML does not expect the difference on account of varying methods to be material. (Refer note 9 below).

Actuarial gains and losses are recognised in full in the Profit and Loss account for the year in which they occur.

 

  (o) Borrowing costs:

Borrowing costs that are attributable to the acquisition or construction of qualifying assets are capitalized as part of the cost of such assets. A qualifying asset is one that necessarily takes a substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use or sale. All other borrowing costs are charged to revenue.

 

  (p) Taxation:

Tax expense comprises of current tax, deferred tax and fringe benefit tax. Current tax is measured at the amount expected to be paid to/recovered from the tax authorities, based on estimated tax liability computed after taking credit for allowances and exemption in accordance with the local tax laws existing in the respective countries.

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 tax after the tax holiday year. Accordingly, it 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 assets and liabilities are recognised for future tax consequences attributable to timing differences between taxable income and accounting income that are capable of reversal in one or more subsequent years and are measured using relevant enacted tax rates. The carrying amount of deferred tax assets at each Balance Sheet date is reduced to the extent that it is no longer reasonably certain that sufficient future taxable income will be available against which the deferred tax asset can be realized.

Fringe benefit tax is recognized in accordance with the relevant provisions of the Income-tax Act, 1961 and the Guidance Note on Fringe Benefits Tax issued by the ICAI.

Tax on distributed profits payable in accordance with the provisions of the Income-tax Act, 1961 is disclosed in accordance with the Guidance Note on Accounting for Corporate Dividend Tax issued by the ICAI.

 

  (q) Contingent Liabilities:

These, if any, are disclosed in the notes on accounts. Provision is made in the accounts if it becomes probable that any outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation arising out of past events.

Consequently TML is of the view that as per the requirements of Accounting Standard 17 on ‘Segment Reporting’ (AS 17), the primary segment of TML is business segment by category of customers in the TSP, TEM, Business process outsourcing (BPO) and other sectors and the secondary segment is the geographical segment by location of its customers.

The Accounting principles consistently used in the preparation of the financial statements are also applied to record income and expenditure in the individual segments. There are no inter-segment transactions during the year.

  b.) Consequent to completion of Income-tax assessments by the tax authorities in the United Kingdom for the financial years 2001-02, 2002-03 and 2003-04 TML has received tax refunds aggregating to Rs. 321 Million (including interest aggregating to Rs. 37 Million) in previous year. Accordingly, in previous year the excess provision for Income-tax relating to the aforesaid years has been written back to the Profit and Loss Account and the interest received is disclosed under Other Income.

 

15. Exchange gain/(loss)(net) accounted during the year:

 

  a) The Company enters into foreign Exchange Forward Contracts and Currency Option Contracts to offset the foreign currency risk arising from the amounts denominated in currencies other than the Indian rupee. The counter party to the Company’s foreign currency forward contracts and Currency Option Contracts is generally a bank. These contracts are entered into to hedge the foreign currency risks of firm commitments. Forward Exchange Contracts and Currency Option Contracts in UK Pound exposure are split into two legs, which are GBP to USD and USD to INR.

The financial statements of the subsidiaries used in the consolidation are drawn upto the same reporting date as that of the holding company namely March 31, 2007.

 

  (b) Principles of consolidation:

The financial statements of the holding company and its subsidiaries have been consolidated on a line by line basis by adding together the book value of like items of assets, liabilities, income, expenses, after eliminating intra—group transactions and any unrealized gain or losses on the balances remaining within the group in accordance with the Accounting Standard—21 (AS 21) on “Consolidated Financial Statements” issued by the ICAI.

The excess of cost of investments in the subsidiary company/s over the share of the equity of the subsidiary company/s at the date on which the investment in the subsidiary company/s is made is recognized as ‘Goodwill on Consolidation’ and is grouped with Fixed Assets in the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Alternatively, where the share of equity in the subsidiary company/s as on the date of investment is in excess of cost of the investment, it is recognized as ‘Capital Reserve’ and grouped with ‘Reserves and Surplus’, in the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Minority interest in the net assets of the consolidated subsidiaries consists of the amount of equity attributable to the minority shareholders at the dates on which investments are made in the subsidiary company/s and further movements in their share in the equity, subsequent to the dates of investments. Minority interest also includes share application money received from minority shareholders. The losses in subsidiary/s attributable to the minority shareholder are recognized to the extent of there interest in the equity of the subsidiary/s.

 

  (c) Use of estimates:

Where the recoverable amount of any fixed asset is lower than its carrying amount, a provision for impairment loss on fixed assets is made for the difference.

Any premium or discount arising at the inception of the forward exchange contract is recognized as income or expense over the life of the contract.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND NOTES FORMING PART OF ACCOUNTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED ON MARCH 31, 2009

 

1. Significant Accounting Policies:

 

  (a) Basis for preparation of accounts:

The accounts have been prepared to comply in all material aspects with applicable accounting principles in India, the Accounting Standards and the relevant provisions of the Companies Act, 1956.

 

  (b) Fixed Assets including intangible assets:

Fixed assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Costs comprise of purchase price and attributable costs, if any.

 

  (c) Depreciation / amortisation on fixed assets:

 

  i) The Company computes depreciation for all fixed assets including for assets taken on lease using the straight-line method based on estimated useful lives. Depreciation is charged on a pro-rata basis for assets purchased or sold during the year. Management’s estimate of the useful life of fixed assets is as follows:

 

Buildings

   15 years

Computers

   3 years

Plant and machinery

   3-5 years

Furniture and fixtures

   5 years

Vehicles

   3-5 years

 

  ii) Leasehold land is amortised over the period of lease.

 

  iii) Leasehold improvements are amortised over the period of lease or expected period of occupancy whichever is less.

 

  iv) Intellectual property rights are amortised over a period of seven years.

 

  v) Assets costing upto Rs. 5000 are fully depreciated in the year of purchase.

 

  (d) Investments:

Long term investments are carried at cost. Provision is made to recognise a decline other than temporary in the carrying amount of long term investment.

Current investments are carried at lower of cost and fair value.

 

  (e) Impairment of Assets:

At the end of each year, the company determines whether a provision should be made for impairment loss on assets by considering the indications that an impairment loss may have occurred in accordance with Accounting Standard 28 on “Impairment of Assets”. Where the recoverable amount of any asset is lower than its carrying amount, a provision for impairment loss on assets is made for the difference. Recoverable amount is the higher of an assets 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.

 

126


Reversal of impairment loss if any, is recognised immediately as income in the Profit and Loss Account

 

  (f) Revenue Recognition:

Revenue from software services and business process outsourcing services include revenue earned from services performed on ‘time and material’ basis, time bound fixed price engagements and system integration projects. The related revenue is recognized as and when services are rendered
