Notes to Audited Financial Statements (continued):
6.   As on April 1, 2008 the company adpoted AS 30 and the consequent limited revisions to other accounting standards. As permitted by AS 30, the Company has designated a yen-denominated foreign currency borrowing amounting to JPY 35 billion, along with Cross-Currency Interest Rate Swap (CCIRS), as a hedging instrument to hedge its net investment in a non-integral foreign operation.
 
    Accordingly, the translation gain / (loss) on the foreign currency borrowings and portion of the changes in fair value of CCIRS which are determined to be effective hedge of net investment in non-integral operation aggregating to Rs 551 Million and Rs 3,044 Million for the quarter and year ended March 31, 2009, respectively was recognized in translation reserve / hedging reserve in shareholders’ funds.
 
    In accordance with AS 11, if the Company had continued to recognize translation losses on foreign currency borrowing in the profit and loss account, the foreign currency borrowing would not have been eligible to be combined with CCIRS for hedge accounting. Consequently the CCIRS also would not have qualified for hedge accounting and changes in fair value of CCIRS would have been recognized in the profit and loss account. As a result, profit after tax for the quarter and year ended March 31, 2009 would have been lower by Rs 551 Million and Rs 3,044 Million respectively.
 
    For detailed note on derivative accounting refer to note 19 (4&5) of the Consolidated financial statements of Wipro Limited which are available on our company website www.wipro.com.
 
7.   In January 2009, the Company acquired 100% shareholding in India based Citi Technology Services Limited (subsequently renamed as Wipro Technology Services Limited — “WTS”) for a purchase consideration of US $ 127 Million and has recorded a goodwill of Rs 4,472 Million. WTS is an India based provider of information technology services and solutions to Citi Group worldwide. WTS has a strong competency in Technology Infrastructure Services (TIS), Application Development and Maintenance services (ADM) for cards, capital markets and corporate banking. The acquisition will enhance Wipro’s capabilities to compete for both TIS business and ADM business in the financial service industry.
