13. PROVISIONS AND CONTINGENCIES The company creates a provision when there is a present obligation as a result of a past event that probably requires an outflow of resources and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. A disclosure for a contingent liability is made when there is a possible obligation or a present obligation that probably will not require an outflow of resources or where a reliable estimate of the amount of the obligation cannot be made. 14. USE OF ESTIMATES The preparation of financial statements in conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles requires the management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the results of operations during the reporting period. Examples of such estimates include estimate of cost expected to be incurred to complete performance under composite arrangements, income taxes, provision for warranty, employment retirement benefit plans, provision for doubtful debts and estimated useful life of the fixed assets. The actual results could differ from those estimates. Any revision to accounting estimates is recognised prospectively in current and future periods. 15. EMPLOYEE STOCK OPTION SCHEME The Company calculates the employee stock compensation expense based on the intrinsic value method wherein the excess of market price of underlying equity shares as on the date of the grant of options over the exercise price of the options given to employees under the Employee Stock Option Scheme of the Company, is recognised as deferred stock compensation expense and is amortised over the vesting period on the basis of generally accepted accounting principles in accordance with the guidelines of Securities and Exchange Board of India. 16. BORROWING COSTS Borrowing costs to the extent related /attributable to the acquisition/construction of assets that necessarily take substantial period of time to get ready for their intended use are capitalised along with the respective fixed asset up to the date such asset is ready for use. Other borrowing costs are charged to the Profit and Loss Account. 17. SEGMENT ACCOUNTING The segment accounting policy is in accordance with the policies consistently used in the preparation of financial statements. The basis of reporting is as follows: a) Revenue and expenses distinctly identifiable to a segment are recognised in that segment. Identified expenses include direct material, labour, overheads and depreciation on Fixed Assets. Expenses that are identifiable with/ allocable to segments have been considered for determining segment results. Allocated expenses include support function costs which are allocated to the segments in proportion of the services rendered by them to each of the business segments. Depreciation on Fixed Assets is allocated to the segments on the basis of their proportionate usage. b) c) d) e) Unallocated expenses/income are enterprise expenses/income, which are not attributable or allocable to any of the business segment. Assets and liabilities which arise as a result of operating activities of the segment are recognised in that segment. Fixed Assets which are exclusively used by the segment or allocated on a reasonable basis are also included. Unallocated assets and liabilities are those which are not attributable or allocable to any of the segments and includes liquid assets like Investments, Bank Deposits and Investments in assets given on finance lease. Segment revenue resulting from transactions with other business segments is accounted on the basis of transfer price which is at par with the prevailing market price.

AUDITORS REPORT
Report of the Auditors to the Board of Directors of HCL Infosystems Limited on the Consolidated Financial Statements of HCL Infosystems and its Subsidiaries. 1. We have audited the attached consolidated Balance Sheet of HCL Infosystems Limited and its subsidiaries and joint venture of a subsidiary (the Group), as at June 30, 2009, the consolidated Profit and Loss Account and consolidated Cash Flow Statement for the year ended on that date annexed thereto, which we have signed under reference to this report. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of Companys management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with the auditing standards generally accepted in India. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with an identified financial reporting framework and are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. We did not audit the financial statements of the joint venture of a subsidiary whose financial statements reflect total assets of Rs. 0.50 crores as at June 30, 2009 and there is no revenue for the period ended on that date, considered in the consolidated financial statements. Attention is invited to Note No. 19 of Notes to Accounts (Schedule 21) regarding the Joint Venture whose financial statements are unaudited, the impact of which is not likely to be material. We report that the consolidated financial statements have been prepared by HCL Infosystems Limiteds management in accordance with the requirements of Accounting Standard (AS) 21, Consolidated Financial Statements and Accounting Standard (AS) 27 Financial Reporting of Interests in Joint Ventures, notified under Section 211(3C) of the Companies Act, 1956 and on the basis of the separate audited financial statements of HCL Infosystems Limited and its subsidiaries and joint venture, included in the consolidated financial statements. On the basis of the information and explanations given to us and on consideration of the separate audit reports on individual audited financial statements of HCL Infosystems Limited and its aforesaid Subsidiaries and joint venture, in our opinion, the consolidated financial statements give a true and fair view in conformity with the accounting principles generally accepted in India: a. b. c. in case of the Consolidated Balance Sheet, of the consolidated state of affairs of the Group as at June 30, 2009; in case of the Consolidated Profit and Loss Account, of the consolidated results of operations for the Group for year ended on that date; and in case of the Consolidated Cash Flow Statement, of the Consolidated Cash Flows of the Group for the year ended on that date.

Such assets are capitalised at the inception of the lease at the lower of fair value or the present value of minimum lease payments and a liability is created for an equivalent amount. Each lease rental paid is allocated between the liability and the interest cost, so as to obtain a constant periodic rate of interest on outstanding liability for each period.

vi) Initial direct costs relating to the finance lease transactions are included as part of the amount capitalised as an asset under the lease. 14. SEGMENT ACCOUNTING The segment accounting policy is in accordance with the policies consistently used in the preparation of financial statements of the Group. The basis of reporting is as follows: a) Revenue and expenses distinctly identifiable to a segment are recognised in that segment. Identified expenses include direct material, labour, overheads and depreciation on Fixed Assets. Expenses that are identifiable with/ allocable to segments have been considered for determining segment results. Allocated expenses include support function costs which are allocated to the segments in proportion of the services rendered by them to each of the business segments. Depreciation on Fixed Assets is allocated to the segments on the basis of their proportionate usage. b) Unallocated expenses/income are enterprise expenses/income, which are not attributable or allocable to any of the business segment. c) Assets and liabilities which arise as a result of operating activities of the segment are recognised in that segment. Fixed Assets which are exclusively used by the segment or allocated on a reasonable basis are also included.

d) Unallocated assets and liabilities are those which are not attributable or allocable to any of the segments and includes liquid assets like Investments, Bank Deposits; and Investments in assets given on finance lease. e) Segment revenue resulting from transactions with other business segments is accounted on the basis of transfer price which is at par with the prevailing market price.

15. BORROWING COSTS Borrowing costs to the extent related/attributable to the acquisition/construction of assets that necessarily take substantial period of time to get ready for their intended use are capitalised along with the respective fixed asset up to the date such asset is ready for use. Other borrowing costs are charged to the Profit and Loss Account. 16. INCOME TAXES The current charge for income taxes including fringe benefit tax is calculated in accordance with the relevant tax regulations. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised for timing differences between the financial statements carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases.

SCHEDULES TO THE CONSOLIDATED BALANCE SHEET & PROFIT AND LOSS ACCOUNT
is recognized and carried forward when it is virtually certain that sufficient taxable profits will be available in future against which deferred tax assets can be realised. 17. PROVISIONS AND CONTINGENCIES The Group creates a provision when there is a present obligation as a result of a past event that probably requires an outflow of resources and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. A disclosure for a contingent liability is made when there is a possible obligation or a present obligation that probably will not require an outflow of resources or where a reliable estimate of the amount of the obligation cannot be made. 18. USE OF ESTIMATES The preparation of financial statements in conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles requires the management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the results of operations during the reporting period. Examples of such estimates include estimate of cost expected to be incurred to complete performance under composite arrangements, income taxes, provision for warranty, employment retirement benefit plans, provision for doubtful debts and estimated useful life of the fixed assets. The actual results could differ from those estimates. Any revision to accounting estimates is recognised prospectively in current and future periods. 19. EMPLOYEE STOCK OPTION SCHEME The Company calculates the employee stock compensation expense based on the intrinsic value method wherein the excess of market price of underlying equity shares as on the date of the grant of options over the exercise price of the options given to employees under the Employee Stock Option Scheme of the Company, is recognised as deferred stock compensation expense and is amortised over the vesting period on the basis of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in accordance with the guidelines of Securities and Exchange Board of India.
