• | IFRIC 14, IAS 19 — The limit on a defined benefit asset, minimum funding requirements and their interaction, provides guidance on assessing the limit in IAS 19 on the amount of the surplus that can be recognised as an asset. It also explains how the pension asset or liability may be affected by a statutory or contractual minimum funding requirement. This interpretation does not have any impact on the group’s financial statements, as the group is not subject to any minimum funding requirements. |
2.1.2. | Standards, amendments and interpretations effective as at September 30, 2008 but not relevant | |
The following standards, amendments and interpretations to published standards are mandatory from the financial year beginning on April 01, 2008 but are not relevant to Satyam’s operations: |
• | IFRIC 12, Service concession arrangements. |
2.1.3. | Standards, amendments and interpretations to existing standards that are not yet effective and have not been early adopted by the group | |
The following standards, amendments and interpretations to existing standards have been published and are mandatory for the group’s financial year beginning on April 01, 2008 or later periods, but Satyam has not early adopted them: |
• | IAS 1 (Revised), Presentation of financial statements, the new standard prohibits the presentation of items of income and expenses (that is, ‘non owner changes in equity’) in the statement of changes in equity, requiring ‘owner changes in equity’ to be presented separately from non owner changes in equity. In addition, entities making restatements or |
6
reclassifications of comparative information will be required to present a restated balance sheet as at the beginning of the comparative period, the group will apply the revised standard from April 01, 2009. Management is in the process of evaluating the impact which the revised standard will have on the presentation of the financial statements. | |||
• | IAS 19 (Amendment), Employee benefits. The amendment is part of the IASB’s annual improvements project published in May 2008. | ||
The amendment clarifies that a plan amendment that results in a change in the extent to which benefit promises are affected by future salary increases is a curtailment, while an amendment that changes benefits attributable to past service gives rise to a negative past service cost if it results in a reduction in the present value of the defined benefit obligation. | |||
The definition of return on plan assets has been amended to state that plan administration costs are deducted in the calculation of return on plan assets only to the extent that such costs have been excluded from measurement of the defined benefit obligation. | |||
The distinction between short term and long term employee benefits will be based on whether benefits are due to be settled within or after 12 months of employee service being rendered. | |||
IAS 37, Provisions, contingent liabilities and contingent assets, requires contingent liabilities to be disclosed, not recognised. IAS 19 has been amended to be consistent. | |||
The group will apply the IAS 19 (Amendment) from April 01, 2009. | |||
• | IAS 23 (Revised), Borrowing costs. It requires an entity to capitalise borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset (one that takes a substantial period of time to get ready for use or sale) as part of the cost of that asset. The option of immediately expensing those borrowing costs will be removed. The group will apply IAS 23 (revised) from April 01, 2009 but is currently not applicable to the group as there are no qualifying assets. | ||
• | IAS 23 (Amendment), Borrowing costs. The amendment is part of the IASB’s annual improvements project published in May 2008. The definition of borrowing costs has been amended so that interest expense is calculated using the effective interest method defined in IAS 39, Financial instruments: Recognition and measurement. This eliminates the inconsistency of terms between IAS 39 and IAS 23. The group will apply the IAS 23 (Amendment) prospectively to the capitalisation of borrowing costs on qualifying assets from April 01, 2009. | ||
• | IAS 27 (Revised), Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements. It requires a mandatory adoption of economic entity model which treats all providers of equity capital as shareholders of the entity. Consequently, a partial disposal of interest in a subsidiary in which the parent company retains control does not result in a gain or loss but in an increase or decrease in equity. Purchase of some or all of the non-controlling interests (also known as minority interests) (“NCI”) is treated as treasury transaction and accounted for in equity. A partial disposal of interest in a subsidiary in which the parent company loses control triggers recognition of gain or loss on the entire interest. A gain or loss is recognised on the portion that has been disposed of; a further holding gain is recognised on the interest retained, being the difference between the fair value of the interest and book value of the interest. | ||
The revised standard requires an entity to attribute their share of net income and reserves to the NCI even if this results in the NCI having a deficit balance. | |||
The group will apply IAS 27 (Revised) from April 01, 2010. Satyam does not expect the adoption of this standard to have a material effect on the consolidated financials statements. | |||
• | IAS 31 (Amendment), Interests in joint ventures (and consequential amendments to IAS 32 and IFRS 7) (effective from April 01, 2009). The amendment is part of the IASB’s annual improvements project published in May 2008. Where an investment in joint venture is accounted for in accordance with IAS 39, only certain rather than all disclosure requirements in IAS 31 need to be made in addition to disclosures required by IAS 32, ‘Financial instruments: Presentation’ and IFRS 7 ‘Financial instruments: Disclosures’. The amendment will not have an impact on the group’s operations as the interests held in joint ventures are not accounted in accordance with IAS 39. | ||
• | IAS 36 (Amendment), Impairment of assets. The amendment is part of the IASB’s annual improvements project published in May 2008. Where fair value less costs to sell is calculated on the basis of discounted cash flows, disclosures equivalent to those for value-in-use calculation should be made. The group will apply the IAS 36 (Amendment) and provide the required disclosure where applicable for impairment tests from April 01, 2009. | ||
• | IAS 38 (Amendment), Intangible assets, (effective from April 01, 2009). The amendment is part of the IASB’s annual improvements project published in May 2008. The amendment deletes the wording that states that there is ‘rarely, if ever’ support for use of a method that results in a lower rate of amortisation than the straight line method. The amendment will not currently have an impact on the group’s operations as all intangible assets are amortised using the straight line method. | ||
• | Amendment to IFRS 2, Share based payment. It clarifies that only service conditions and performance conditions are vesting conditions. All other features need to be included in the grant date fair value and do not impact the number of awards expected to vest or valuation subsequent to grant date. The amendment also specifies that all cancellation, whether by entity or by other parties, should receive the same accounting treatment. The group will apply the amendment from April 01, 2009 but is currently not applicable to the group. | ||
• | IFRS 3 (Revised), Business Combinations. It has expanded the scope to include combinations by contract alone and combination of mutual entities and slightly amended the definition of business as ‘capable of being conducted’ rather than ‘are conducted and managed’. All the acquisition-related costs are to be recognised as period expenses in |
7
accordance with the appropriate IFRS. Costs incurred to issue debt or equity securities will be recognised in accordance with IAS 39. | |||
Consideration would include fair value of all interests previously held by the acquirer. Remeasurement of such interests to fair value would be through income statement. Contingent consideration is required to be recognised at fair value even if not deemed probable of payment at the date of acquisition. All subsequent changes in debt contingent consideration are recognised in income statement and not in goodwill as required in the existing standard. | |||
IFRS 3 (Revised) provides an explicit option, available on a transaction-by-transaction basis, to measure any NCI in the entity acquired at fair value of their proportion of identifiable assets and liabilities or full fair value. The first will result in measurement of goodwill little different from existing IFRS 3; the second approach will record goodwill on the NCI as well as on the acquired controlling interest. | |||
The standard further provides additional guidance on share-based payment grants that form part of the business combination and on assessment for classification of certain contracts and arrangements of the acquired business at the date of the acquisition. Current guidance requires deferred tax assets of the acquired business that are not recognised at the date of the combination but subsequently meet the recognition criteria to be adjusted against goodwill. The revised standard will only allow adjustments against goodwill within the one-year window for finalisation of the purchase accounting. | |||
The group will apply IFRS 3 (Revised) from April 01, 2010. The effect of the standard on future periods will depend on the nature and significance of any acquisitions that are subject to this standard. | |||
• | IFRS 5 (Amendment), Non-current assets held for sale and discontinued operations (and consequential amendment to IFRS 1, First-time adoption). The amendment is part of the IASB’s annual improvements project published in May 2008. The amendment clarifies that all of a subsidiary’s assets and liabilities are classified as held for sale if a partial disposal sale plan results in loss of control, and relevant disclosure should be made for this subsidiary if the definition of a discontinued operation is met. A consequential amendment to IFRS 1 states that these amendments are applied prospectively from the date of transition to IFRSs. The group will apply the IFRS 5 (Amendment) prospectively to all partial disposals of subsidiaries from April 01, 2010. | ||
• | There are a number of minor amendments to IFRS 7, Financial instruments: Disclosures, IAS 8, Accounting policies, changes in accounting estimates and errors, IAS 10, Events after the reporting period, IAS 18, Revenue and IAS 34, Interim financial reporting, which are part of the IASB’s annual improvements project published in May 2008 (not addressed above). These amendments are unlikely to have an impact on the group’s accounts and have therefore not been analysed in detail. |
2.1.4. | Standards, amendments and interpretations to existing standards that are not yet effective and not relevant for the group’s operations |
• | IAS 1 (Amendment), Presentation of financial statements (effective from April 01, 2009). The amendment is part of the IASB’s annual improvements project published in May 2008. The amendment clarifies that some rather than all financial assets and liabilities classified as held for trading in accordance with IAS 39, ‘Financial instruments: Recognition and measurement’ are examples of current assets and liabilities respectively. | ||
• | IAS 16 (Amendment), Property, plant and equipment (and consequential amendment to IAS 7, Statement of cash flows) (effective from April 01, 2009). The amendment is part of the IASB’s annual improvements project published in May 2008. Entities whose ordinary activities comprise renting and subsequently selling assets present proceeds from the sale of those assets as revenue and should transfer the carrying amount of the asset to inventories when the asset becomes held-for-sale. A consequential amendment to IAS 7 states that cash flows arising from purchase, rental and sale of those assets are classified as cash flows from operating activities. The amendment will not have an impact on the group’s operations because none of the group’s companies’ ordinary activities comprise renting and subsequently selling assets. | ||
• | IAS 20 (Amendment), Accounting for government grants and disclosure of government assistance (effective from April 01, 2009). The benefit of a below-market rate government loan is measured as the difference between the carrying amount in accordance with IAS 39, ‘Financial instruments: Recognition and measurement’, and the proceeds received with the benefit accounted for in accordance with IAS 20. The amendment will not have an impact on the group’s operations as there are no loans received or other grants from the government. | ||
• | Amendment to IFRS 1, First time adoption of IFRS and IAS 27, Consolidated and separate financial statements (effective from April 01, 2009). The amendment allows first-time adopters to use a deemed cost of either fair value or the carrying amount under previous accounting practice to measure the initial cost of investments in subsidiaries, jointly controlled entities and associates in the separate financial statements. The amendment also removed the definition of the cost method from IAS 27 and replaced it with a requirement to present dividends as income in the separate financial statements of the investor. | ||
• | IAS 27 (Amendment), Consolidated and separate financial statements (effective from April 01, 2009). The amendment is part of the IASB’s annual improvements project published in May 2008. Where an investment in a subsidiary that is accounted for under IAS 39, Financial instruments: recognition and measurement is classified as held-for-sale under IFRS 5, Non-current assets held for sale and discontinued operations, IAS 39 would continue to be applied. The amendment will not have an impact on the group’s operations. | ||
• | IAS 28 (Amendment), Investments in associates (and consequential amendments to IAS 32, Financial Instruments: Presentation and IFRS 7, Financial instruments: Disclosures) (effective from April 01, 2009). The amendment is part of the IASB’s annual improvements project published in May 2008. An investment in associate is treated as a single asset for the purposes of impairment testing and any impairment loss is not allocated to specific assets included |
8
within the investment, for example, goodwill. Reversals of impairment are recorded as an adjustment to the investment balance to the extent that the recoverable amount of the associate increases. | |||
• | IAS 28 (Amendment), Investments in associates (and consequential amendments to IAS 32, Financial Instruments: Presentation and IFRS 7, Financial instruments: Disclosures) (effective from April 01, 2009). The amendment is part of the IASB’s annual improvements project published in May 2008. Where an investment in associate is accounted for in accordance with IAS 39 Financial instruments: recognition and measurement only certain, rather than all disclosure requirements in IAS 28 need to be made in addition to disclosures required by IAS 32, Financial Instruments: Presentation and IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures. The amendment will not have an impact on the group’s operations. | ||
• | Amendment to IAS 32, Financial instruments, Presentation and IAS 1, Presentation of financial statements —Puttable financial instruments and obligations arising on liquidation (effective from April 01, 2009). The amendment requires entities to classify certain types of financial instruments as equity, provided they have particular features and meet specific conditions. | ||
• | IAS 38 (Amendment), Intangible assets (effective from April 01, 2009). The amendment is part of the IASB’s annual improvements project published in May 2008. A prepayment may only be recognised in the event that payment has been made in advance of obtaining right of access to goods or receipt of services. | ||
• | IAS 39 (Amendment), Financial instruments: Recognition and measurement (effective from April 01, 2009). The amendment is part of the IASB’s annual improvements project published in May 2008. | ||
This amendment clarifies that it is possible for there to be movements into and out of the fair value through profit or loss category where a derivative commences or ceases to qualify as a hedging instrument in cash flow or net investment hedge. | |||
The definition of financial asset or financial liability at fair value through profit or loss as it relates to items that are held for trading is also amended. This clarifies that a financial asset or liability that is part of a portfolio of financial instruments managed together with evidence of an actual recent pattern of short-term profit-taking is included in such a portfolio on initial recognition. | |||
The current guidance on designating and documenting hedges states that a hedging instrument needs to involve a party external to the reporting entity and cites a segment as an example of a reporting entity. This means that in order for hedge accounting to be applied at segment level, the requirements for hedge accounting are currently required to be met by the applicable segment. The amendment removes this requirement so that IAS 39 is consistent with IFRS 8, Operating segments which requires disclosure for segments to be based on information reported to the chief operating decision maker. Currently for segment reporting purposes, each subsidiary designates and documents (including effectiveness testing) contracts with group treasury as fair value or cash flow hedges so that the hedges are reflected in the segment to which the hedged items relate. This is consistent with the information viewed by the chief operating decision maker. After the amendment is effective, the hedge will continue to be reflected in the segment to which the hedged items relate (and information provided to the chief operating decisions maker) but the group will not formally document and test this hedging relationship. | |||
When remeasuring the carrying amount of a debt instrument on cessation of fair value hedge accounting, the amendment clarifies that a revised effective interest rate (calculated at the date fair value hedge accounting ceases) are used. | |||
• | IAS 39 (Amendment), Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement (effective April 01, 2009). On October 2008, the IASB amended IAS 39 to allow the reclassification of certain financial assets previously classified as ‘held for trading’ or ‘available for sale’ to another category under limited circumstances. Various disclosures are required where the reclassification has been made. Derivatives and assets designated as ‘fair value through profit or loss’, under the fair value option are not eligible for this reclassification. The amendment has an effective date of July 01, 2008. | ||
• | IAS 40 (Amendment), Investment property (and consequential amendments to IAS 16) (effective from April 01, 2009). The amendment is part of the IASB’s annual improvements project published in May 2008. Property that is under construction or development for future use as investment property is within the scope of IAS 40. Where the fair value model is applied, such property is, therefore, measured at fair value. However, where fair value of investment property under construction is not reliably measurable, the property is measured at cost until the earlier of the date construction is completed and the date at which fair value becomes reliably measurable. The amendment will not have an impact on the group’s operations, as there are no investment properties held by the group. | ||
• | The minor amendments to IAS 29, Financial reporting in hyperinflationary economies and IAS 41, Agriculture, which are part of the IASB’s which are part of the IASB’s annual improvements project published in May 2008 (not addressed above). These amendments will not have an impact on the group’s operations. | ||
• | IFRIC 13, Customer loyalty programmes (effective from April 01, 2009). IFRIC 13 clarifies that where goods or services are sold together with a customer loyalty incentive (for example, loyalty points or free products), the arrangement is a multiple-element arrangement and the consideration receivable from the customer is allocated between the components of the arrangement using fair values. IFRIC 13 is not relevant to the group’s operations because none of the group’s companies operate any loyalty programmes. | ||
• | IFRIC 15, Agreements for construction of real estates (effective from April 01, 2009). The interpretation clarifies whether IAS 18, Revenue, or IAS 11, Construction contracts should be applied to particular transactions. It is likely to result in IAS 18 being applied to a wider range of transactions. IFRIC 15 is not relevant to the group’s operations. | ||
• | IFRIC 16, Hedges of a net investment in a foreign operation (effective from April 01, 2009). IFRIC 16 clarifies the accounting treatment in respect of net investment hedging. This includes the fact that net investment hedging relates |
9
to differences in functional currency not presentation currency, and hedging instruments may be held anywhere in the group. The requirements of IAS 21, The effects of changes in foreign exchange rates, do apply to the hedged item. |

— | Satyam Computer Services (Nanjing) Co. Ltd. — December 31 | ||
— | Satyam Technologies Inc. — December 31 | ||
— | Nitor Global Solutions Limited — May 31 | ||
— | Bridge Strategy Group LLC. — December 31 | ||
a) | Subsidiaries |
Subsidiaries are all entities (including special purpose entities) over which the group has the power to govern the financial and operating policies so as to obtain economic benefits from its activities, generally accompanying a shareholding of more than one half of the voting rights. The existence and effect of potential voting rights that are currently exercisable or convertible are considered when assessing whether the group controls another entity. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the group. They are de-consolidated from the date that control ceases. | ||
The purchase method of accounting is used to account for the acquisition of subsidiaries by the group. The cost of an acquisition is measured as the fair value of the assets given, equity instruments issued and liabilities incurred or assumed at the date of exchange, plus costs directly attributable to the acquisition. Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date, irrespective of the extent of any minority interest. The excess of the cost of acquisition over the fair value of the group’s share of the identifiable net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. If the cost of acquisition is less than the fair value of the net assets of the subsidiary acquired, the difference is recognized directly in the income statement. | ||
Inter-company transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between group companies are eliminated. Unrealised losses are also eliminated but considered an impairment indicator of the asset transferred. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the group. | ||
Satyam has employee benefit trust SC-Trust which purchases and holds ordinary shares of Satyam Computer Services (treasury shares) in connection with employee share-based payment schemes. Satyam controls the activities of the trust and pursuant to the criteria set out in SIC-12, Consolidation — Special Purpose Entities, consolidates the trust. |
10
b) | Joint ventures |
Joint ventures are all entities, formed under contractual arrangements, over which Satyam has joint control along with the other venturers. Joint control is the contractually agreed sharing of control over the entities, and exists only when the strategic financial and operating decisions relating to the activity require the unanimous consent of Satyam and the other parties sharing control. Investments in joint ventures are accounted for using the equity method of accounting and are initially recognized at cost. Satyam’s investment in joint ventures includes goodwill identified on acquisition, if any, net of any accumulated impairment loss (see Note 8.2). | ||
Satyam’s share of its joint ventures’ post-acquisition profits or losses is recognized in the income statement, and its share of post-acquisition movements in reserves is recognized in reserves. The cumulative post-acquisition movements are adjusted against the carrying amount of the investment. When Satyam’s share of losses in a joint venture equals or exceeds its interest in the joint venture, including any other unsecured receivables, Satyam does not recognise further losses, unless it has incurred obligations or made payments on behalf of the joint venture. Unrealised gains on transactions between Satyam and its joint ventures are eliminated to the extent of Satyam’s interest in the joint ventures. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred. Accounting policies of joint ventures have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the group. | ||
Dilution gains and losses in joint ventures are recognized in the equity statement. |
c) | Transactions with minority interests |
The group applies a policy of treating transactions with minority interests as transactions with shareholders of the group. On disposal to minority interest, the difference between the proceeds and the share disposed off is accounted for in reserves. Similarly, on purchase of minority interests, the difference between any consideration paid and the relevant share acquired of the carrying value of net assets of the subsidiary is recorded in equity. | ||
2.3. | Segment reporting | |
Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision-maker. The Managing Director of Satyam Computer Services has been identified as the chief operating decision-maker that makes strategic decisions, allocates resources to and assesses the performance of the operating segments. | ||
2.4. | Foreign currency translation |
a) | Functional and presentation currency |
Items included in the financial statements in each of the group’s entities are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (“the functional currency”). Indian rupee is the functional currency of Satyam Computer Services, its domestic subsidiaries and joint ventures. US dollar, Pound sterling, Singapore dollar and Renminbi are the functional currencies of Satyam’s foreign subsidiaries located in the US, the UK, Singapore and China respectively. These consolidated interim financial statements are presented in US Dollars (“US$”), which is the group’s presentation currency. | ||
The results and financial position of the group are translated into presentation currency as follows: |
• | assets and liabilities for each balance sheet presented are translated at the closing rate at the date of that balance sheet; | ||
• | income and expenses for each income statement are translated at average exchange rates; and | ||
• | all resulting exchange differences are recognised as a separate component of equity. | ||
b) | Transactions and balances |
Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at period-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognized in the income statement. |
c) | Group companies |
On consolidation, exchange differences arising from the translation of the net investment in foreign operations are taken to shareholders’ equity. When a foreign operation is partially disposed off or sold, exchange differences that were recorded in equity are recognized in the income statement as part of the gain or loss on sale. Goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on the acquisition of a foreign entity are treated as assets and liabilities of the foreign entity and translated at the closing rate. | ||
2.5. | Premises and equipment | |
Premises and equipment are stated at actual cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. The cost of an item of premises and equipment comprises its purchase price and any costs directly attributable to bringing the asset into use. | ||
Depreciation on premises and equipment is recognized on the straight line basis over their estimated useful lives. The cost of and the accumulated depreciation for premises and equipment sold, retired or otherwise disposed off are removed from the stated values and the resulting gains and losses are included in the income statement. | ||
The estimated useful lives are as follows: |
11
Buildings
|
28 years | |
Computers and servers
|
2-5 years | |
Office equipment
|
5 years | |
Furniture, fixtures and interiors
|
5 years | |
Vehicles
|
5 years |
The residual values and useful economic lives of premises and equipment are reviewed annually. | ||
Depreciation on leasehold improvements and assets acquired under a finance lease is provided using the straight-line method over the shorter of the lease term or the useful life of the asset. | ||
Eligible borrowing cost related to the construction of qualifying assets is capitalized | ||
Assets under construction | ||
Assets under installation or under construction as at the balance sheet date are shown as assets under construction. Advances paid towards acquisition of assets are also included under assets under construction. | ||
2.6. | Intangible assets | |
All intangible assets, except goodwill, are stated at cost less accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses. Goodwill is not amortised and is stated at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. |
a) | Goodwill |
Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of an acquisition over the fair value of Satyam’s share of the net identifiable assets of the acquired subsidiary or associate at the date of acquisition. Goodwill on acquisitions of subsidiaries is included in intangible assets. Goodwill on acquisitions of associates is included in investments in associates and is tested for impairment as part of the overall balance. Separately recognized goodwill is tested annually for impairment and carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses. Impairment losses on goodwill are not reversed. Gains and losses on the disposal of an entity include the carrying amount of goodwill relating to the entity sold. Goodwill is allocated to cash-generating units for the purpose of impairment testing. The allocation is made to those cash-generating units or groups of cash-generating units that are expected to benefit from the business combination in which the goodwill arose. |
b) | Software |
Expenditure incurred on research is expensed in the income statement as incurred. Cost of acquired software for internal use is generally charged to the income statement as incurred if the estimated useful lives are relatively short, usually less than one year and amortised over the estimated useful lives on a straight-line basis if the estimated useful lives are beyond one year. |
c) | Other intangible assets |
Other intangible assets identified in business combinations, comprising of customer contracts, internally developed technology and non-compete agreements are amortised over their estimated useful life on a straight-line basis. | ||
2.7. | Impairment of non-financial assets | |
Assets that have an indefinite useful life, for example goodwill, are not subject to amortisation and are tested annually for impairment. Assets that are subject to amortisation are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in use. For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash flows (cash-generating units). Non-financial assets other than goodwill that suffered impairment are reviewed for possible reversal of the impairment at each reporting date. | ||
2.8. | Financial assets | |
The financial assets held by Satyam are primarily loans and receivables. The classification of financial assets depends on the purpose for which the financial assets were acquired. Management determines the classification of its financial assets at initial recognition. | ||
Loans and receivables | ||
Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. They are included in current assets, except for maturities greater than 12 months after the balance sheet date. These are classified as non-current assets. The group’s loans and receivables comprise trade and other receivables, investments in bank deposits and cash and cash equivalents in the balance sheet (Note 2.10, 2.12 and 2.13). | ||
Satyam assesses at each balance sheet date whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset or a group of financial assets is impaired. Impairment testing of trade receivables is described in Note 2.10. | ||
2.9. | Derivative financial instruments | |
The group purchases foreign exchange forward contracts and options to mitigate the risk of changes in foreign exchange rates associated with certain payables, receivables and forecasted transactions denominated in certain foreign currencies. These derivative contracts do not qualify for hedge accounting under IAS 39, and are initially recognized at fair value on the date the contract is entered into and subsequently remeasured at their fair value. Gains or losses arising from changes in the fair value of the derivative contracts are recognized in the income statement. |
12
2.10. | Trade and other receivables | |
Trade receivables are recognized initially at fair value. They are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, net of provision for impairment, if the effect of discounting is considered material. The carrying amounts, net of provision for impairment, reported in the balance sheet approximate the fair value due to their short realisation period. A provision for impairment of trade receivables is established when there is objective evidence that Satyam will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of receivables. The provision is established at amounts considered to be appropriate, based primarily upon Satyam’s past credit loss experience and an evaluation of potential losses on the receivables. The amount of the provision is recognized in the income statement. | ||
2.11. | Unbilled revenue and unearned revenue | |
Amounts which relate to recoverable costs and accrued profits not yet billed on contracts are classified in current assets as “Unbilled revenue on contracts”. Billings on uncompleted contracts in excess of recoverable cost and accrued profit are classified in current liabilities as “Unearned revenue”. | ||
2.12. | Investments in bank deposits | |
Investments in bank deposits represent term deposits placed with banks earning fixed rate of interest. Investments in bank deposits with maturities of less than a year are disclosed as current assets and more than one year as non current. At the balance sheet date, these deposits are measured at amortised cost using effective interest method. | ||
2.13. | Cash and cash equivalents | |
Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand and at bank, and short-term deposits with an original maturity period of three months or less. Bank overdrafts that are an integral part of cash management and where there is a legal right of set-off against positive cash balances are included in cash and cash equivalents. Otherwise bank overdrafts are classified as borrowings. | ||
2.14. | Share capital | |
Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Preference shares are assessed for classification under equity or liability (Note 2.15). Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds. | ||
Where any group entity purchases the equity share capital of Satyam Computer Services (treasury shares), the consideration paid, including any directly attributable incremental costs (net of taxes) is deducted from equity attributable to the equity holders of Satyam Computer Services until the shares are reissued. Where such shares are subsequently reissued, any consideration received net of any directly attributable incremental transaction costs and the related income tax effects, is included in the equity attributable to equity holders of Satyam Computer Services. | ||
2.15. | Borrowings | |
Borrowings are recognized initially at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are subsequently stated at amortised cost; any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption value is recognized in the income statement over the period of the borrowings using the effective interest method. | ||
Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the group has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the balance sheet date. In respect of borrowings with repayment schedule, classification as current and non-current liabilities is based on the repayment schedule. | ||
Borrowings designated at fair value through profit or loss is initially recognised at fair value. A borrowing is classified in this category if it contains embedded derivatives, which significantly modify the cash flows that otherwise would be required by the host instrument. These borrowings are re-measured at each reporting date with the changes in fair value recognised in the income statement. | ||
2.16. | Current and deferred income tax | |
The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date in the countries where the group operates and generates taxable income. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulations are subject to interpretation and establishes provisions, where appropriate, on the basis of amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities. | ||
Deferred income tax is provided in full, using the liability method, on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the consolidated interim financial statements. However, the deferred income tax is not accounted for if it arises from initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a business combination that at the time of the transaction affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss. Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantially enacted by the balance sheet date and are expected to apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realised or the deferred income tax liability is settled. | ||
Deferred income tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilised. | ||
Deferred income tax is provided on temporary differences, if any, arising on investments in subsidiaries and joint ventures, except where the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference is controlled by the group and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future. |
13
Current and deferred income tax are recognized in the income statement, except when the tax relates to items charged or credited directly to equity, in which case the tax is also dealt with directly in equity. | ||
2.17. | Employee benefits | |
Employee benefits are accrued in the period in which the associated services are rendered by employees of the group. Contributions to defined contribution schemes such as Provident Fund, Employee State Insurance Scheme and Superannuation are charged to income statement on accrual basis. |
a) | Gratuity |
The Gratuity Plan is a defined benefit plan that, at retirement or termination of employment, provides eligible employees with a lump sum payment, which is a function of the last drawn salary and completed years of service. The liability recognised in the balance sheet in respect of gratuity plan is the present value of the defined benefit obligation at the balance sheet date less the fair value of plan assets, if any, together with adjustments for unrecognised past-service costs. The defined benefit obligation is calculated annually by independent actuaries using the projected unit credit method. The present value of the defined benefit obligation is determined by discounting the estimated future cash outflows using interest rates of Government of India securities and that have terms to maturity approximating to the terms of the related gratuity liability. | ||
Actuarial gains and losses arising from experience adjustments and changes in actuarial assumptions are charged or credited to income statement in the period in which they arise. |
b) | Compensated absences |
Satyam operates both accumulating and non-accumulating absences plan. Satyam measures the expected cost of accumulating compensated absences as the additional amount expected to be paid as a result of the unused entitlement that has accumulated at the balance sheet date. Expense on non-accumulating compensated absences is recognised in the period in which the absences occur. |
c) | Share-based payment |
Satyam operates a number of equity-settled share-based compensation plans. The fair value of the employee services received in exchange for the grant of the options is recognized as an expense. The total amount to be expensed over the vesting period is determined by reference to the fair value of the options granted, excluding the impact of any non-market vesting conditions (for example, profitability and sales growth targets). Non-market vesting conditions are included in assumptions about the number of options that are expected to vest. At each balance sheet date, the entity revises its estimates of the number of options that are expected to vest. It recognises the impact of the revision to original estimates, if any, in the income statement, with a corresponding adjustment to equity. | ||
2.18. | Revenue Recognition |
a) | IT Services |
Revenues from IT services, which includes software development, system maintenance, package software implementation, engineering design services and e-Business consist of revenues earned from services performed either on a time-and-material basis or time bound fixed price engagements. | ||
Revenues earned from services performed on a time-and-material basis are recognized as the services are performed. IT services performed on time bound fixed-price engagements; require accurate estimation of the costs which include salaries and related expenses of technical associates, related communication expenses, travel costs and scope and duration of each engagement. Revenue and the related costs for these projects are recognized on percentage-of-completion basis, with revisions to estimates reflected in the period in which changes become known. Provisions for estimated losses on such engagements are made during the period in which a loss becomes probable and can be reasonably estimated. | ||
The use of the percentage-of-completion method reflects the pattern in which the obligations to the customer are fulfilled. Satyam has used an input-based approach since the input measures are a reasonable surrogate for output measures. The progress of the projects is measured using the efforts expended approach which is based on units of work performed (hours spent by project staff). | ||
The extent of progress to date on the projects, estimates of future efforts for completion of the projects and the variance of the revised project plans from the original project plan are continuously monitored. The direct relationship between the efforts expended and the productivity in measuring progress towards completion makes the efforts expended method more reliable and also the best approximation of progress towards completion. |
b) | Business Process Outsourcing |
Revenues from BPO services consist of revenues from time-and-material services or time bound fixed- price engagements. Revenues from time-and-material services are recognized as the services are performed. Revenues from BPO services are also on time bound fixed price engagements, under which revenue is recognized using the percentage-of-completion method of accounting. The cumulative impact of any revision in estimates of the percentage of work completed is reflected in the period in which the change becomes known. Provisions for estimated losses are made during the year in which a loss becomes probable and can be reasonably estimated. |
c) | Warranty |
Satyam provides its clients with one to three month warranty as post-sale support for its fixed price engagements. Satyam has not provided for any warranty costs for the years ended March 31, 2008 and 2007 as historically Satyam has not |
14
incurred any expenditure on account of warranties and since the customer is required to formally sign off on the work performed, any subsequent work is usually covered by an additional contract. | ||
2.19. | Leases | |
Rentals payable under operating leases are charged to the income statement on a straight-line basis over the lease term. | ||
2.20. | Dividend distribution | |
Dividends to the shareholders of Satyam Computer Services are recognized as a liability and deducted from shareholders’ equity in the year in which the dividends are approved by the shareholders of Satyam Computer Services. Interim dividends that are declared by the Board of directors without the need for shareholders’ approval are recognised as a liability and deducted from shareholders’ equity in the year in which the dividends are declared by the Board of Directors of Satyam Computer Services. | ||
3. | Financial risk management | |
3.1. | Financial risk factors | |
Satyam’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including currency risk, fair value interest rate risk and cash flow interest rate risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. Satyam’s overall risk management programme focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on the financial performance. Satyam Computer Services uses derivative financial instruments to mitigate certain risk exposures. | ||
Satyam’s exposure to credit risk is influenced mainly by the individual characteristic of each customer and the concentration of risk from the top few customers. The demographics of the customer including the default risk of the industry and country in which the customer operates also has an influence on credit risk assessment. The risk management policies include a credit policy under which each new customer is analysed individually for creditworthiness before the standard payment terms and conditions are offered. | ||
Satyam manages foreign exchange and interest rate risks through treasury operations. Its risk management strategy is to identify risks it’s exposed to, evaluate and measure those risks, decide on managing those risks, regular monitoring and reporting to management. The objective of its risk management policy is to minimize risk arising from adverse currency movements by managing the uncertainty and volatility of foreign exchange fluctuations by mitigating the risk to achieve greater predictability and stability. The risk management policies include implementing strategies for foreign currency exposures, specification of transaction limits; specifying authority and responsibility of the personnel involved in executing, monitoring and controlling such transactions. Satyam considers the impact of cash flow and fair value interest risk on the operations as not material. |
a) | Market risk | ||
i) | Foreign exchange risk |
Satyam operates internationally and is exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from various currency exposures, primarily with respect to the US Dollars. Foreign exchange risk arises from future commercial transactions and recognised assets and liabilities. The exchange rate between Indian rupee and the US dollar has changed substantially in recent years and may fluctuate substantially in the future. | ||
Satyam enters into foreign exchange forward and option contracts to mitigate the risk of changes in foreign exchange rates on cash flows denominated in US dollars. | ||

The sensitivity analysis is based on a reasonably possible change in the underlying foreign currency against the Indian rupee computed from historical data. |
ii) | Cash flow and fair value interest rate risk |
The group’s interest rate risk arises from long-term borrowings and investment in bank deposits. Borrowings issued at variable rates expose the group to cash flow interest rate risk while borrowings issued and investment in bank deposits at fixed rates expose the group to fair value interest rate risk. | ||
Satyam has not entered into any interest rate swaps in respect of the borrowings or investment in bank deposits. However, Satyam continuously monitors the movement of interest rates to determine whether the new borrowings have to be raised or deposits have to be placed at fixed or floating interest rates. | ||
Borrowings | ||

A 100 bps increase/decrease in the borrowing interest rates would have impacted the interest on floating interest rate borrowings and decreased/increased the net profit by US$0.4 and US$0.2 for six months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007 respectively and US$0.4 for the year ended March 31, 2008. | ||
The approximate fair value of fixed interest rate loans and promissory note, as determined using current interest rates was US$51.0 and US$5.8 for six months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007 respectively and US$6.1 for the year ended March 31, 2008 as compared to the carrying amounts of US$50.7and US$5.7 for six months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007 respectively and US$6.0 for the year ended March 31, 2008. | ||
A 100 bps increase in the interest rates would have resulted in a decrease in the fair value by US$0.8 and US$80.0 thousand for six months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007 respectively and US$80.0 thousand for the year ended March 31, 2008. | ||
A 100 bps decrease in the interest rates would have resulted in an increase in the fair value by US$0.6 and US$80.0 thousand for six months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007 respectively and US$80 thousand for the year ended March 31, 2008. | ||
Investment in bank deposits | ||
Investments in bank deposits denominated in Indian rupee represent term deposits placed with banks earning fixed rate of interest. The carrying value of investments in bank deposits amounted to US$795.1 and US$874.8 as at September 30, 2008 and 2007 respectively and US$894.8 as at March 31, 2008. The approximate fair value of investment in bank deposits, as determined using current interest rates was US$817.8 and US$866.8 as at September 30, 2008 and 2007 respectively and US$902.7 as at March 31, 2008.The weighted average rate of interest earned on investment in bank deposits amounted to 8.1% and 8.1% during the six months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007 respectively and 8.0% for the year ended March 31, 2008. | ||
A 100 bps increase in current interest rates would have reduced the fair value of investment in bank deposits by US$1.4 and US$9.3 as at September 30, 2008 and 2007 respectively and US$5.6 as at March 31, 2008 whereas a 100 bps decrease in current interest rates would have increased the fair value of investment in bank deposits by US$1.4 and US$9.5 as at September 30, 2008 and 2007 respectively and US$5.7 as at March 31, 2008. | ||
The sensitivity analysis is based on a reasonably possible change in the market interest rates computed from historical data. |
b) | Credit risk |
Credit risk refers to the risk of default on its obligation by the counterparty resulting in a financial loss. Trade receivables are typically unsecured and are derived from revenue earned from customers primarily located in the United States. Credit risk is managed through credit approvals, establishing credit limits and continuously monitoring the creditworthiness of customers to which Satyam grants credit terms in the normal course of business. The following table gives details in respect of percentage of revenues generated from top two and top five customers: |

Satyam maintains banking relationships with only creditworthy banks which it reviews on an on-going basis. Satyam enters into foreign exchange derivative instruments where the counter party is generally a bank. Consequently, the credit risk on the derivatives and bank deposits is not considered material. |
17
c) | Liquidity risk |
Satyam manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate reserves, banking facilities and reserve borrowing facilities, by continuously monitoring forecast and actual cash flows and matching the maturity profiles of financial assets and liabilities. | ||

Based on past performance and current expectations, Satyam believes that the cash and cash equivalents and cash generated from operations will satisfy its working capital needs, capital expenditure, investment requirements, stock repurchases, commitments and other liquidity requirements associated with its existing operations through at least the next 12 months. In addition, there are no transactions, arrangements, and other relationships with unconsolidated entities or other persons that are reasonably likely to materially affect liquidity or the availability of the requirements for capital resources. | ||
3.2. | Capital risk management | |
Satyam’s objective when managing capital is to safeguard its ability to continue as a going concern in order to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders. | ||
Total capital of Satyam is ‘equity’ as shown in the consolidated balance sheet plus net debt. Net debt is calculated as total borrowings (including ‘current and non-current borrowings’ as shown in the consolidated balance sheet) less cash and cash equivalents. Net debt as at the reporting date is zero. | ||
In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, Satyam may adjust the amount of dividends paid to shareholders, issue new shares to reduce debt. | ||
3.3. | Fair value estimation | |
The fair value of financial instruments traded in active markets (such as trading and available-for-sale securities) is based on quoted market prices at the balance sheet date. The quoted market price used for financial assets held by the group is the current bid price. The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market (for example, over-the counter derivatives) is determined by using valuation techniques. The group uses a variety of methods and makes assumptions that are based on market conditions existing at each balance sheet date. Quoted market prices or dealer quotes for similar instruments are used for long-term debt. Other techniques, such as estimated discounted cash flows, are used to determine fair value for the remaining financial instruments. The fair value of interest rate swaps is calculated as the present value of the estimated future cash flows. The fair value of forward foreign exchange contracts is determined using quoted forward exchange rates at the balance sheet date. |
18
The carrying value less impairment provision, of trade receivables and payables, are assumed to approximate their fair values. The fair value of financial liabilities for disclosure purposes is estimated by discounting the future contractual cash flows at the current market interest rate that is available to the group for similar financial instruments. | ||
4. | Critical accounting estimates and judgements | |
Estimates and judgments are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. | ||
Satyam makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates will, by definition, seldom equal the related actual results. The estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are discussed below. |
a) | Income taxes |
Satyam is subject to income taxes in a number of jurisdictions. Significant judgment is required in determining provision for income taxes. There are many transactions and calculations for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain during the ordinary course of business. Satyam recognises liabilities for anticipated tax issues based on estimates of whether additional taxes will be due. Where the final tax outcome of these matters is different from the amounts that were initially recorded, such differences will impact the income tax and deferred tax provisions in the period in which such determination is made. |
b) | Estimated impairment of goodwill |
Satyam tests annually goodwill for any impairment, in accordance with the accounting policy Note 2.7 above. The recoverable amount of cash generating units is determined based on value-in-use calculations. These calculations require the use of estimates. | ||
If the budgeted gross margin used in the value-in-use calculation had been 1% lower than Satyam’s estimates at March 31, 2008, there would not be any impairment of goodwill. Similarly, if the estimated pre-tax discount rate applied to the discounted cash flows had been 1% higher than Satyam’s estimates, there would not be any impairment of goodwill. |
c) | Revenue recognition |
Satyam uses the percentage-of-completion method in accounting for its fixed-price contracts. The use of the percentage of completion method reflects the pattern in which the obligations to the customer are fulfilled. Satyam has used an input-based approach since the input measures are a reasonable surrogate for output measures. Provisions for estimated losses on such engagements are made during the period in which a loss becomes probable and can be reasonably estimated. |
5. | Segmental reporting | |
The operating segments reported below are the segments of Satyam for which separate financial information is available and for which operating profit/loss amounts are evaluated regularly by executive management in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. Management evaluates performance based on stand-alone revenues and net income for the companies in Satyam. The executive management evaluates Satyam’s operating segments based on the following two business groups: |
— | IT services; and | ||
— | Business Process Outsourcing |
