Independent auditor's report to the Board of Directors of Mindtree Limited

We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Mindtree Limited (‘Mindtree’ or ‘the Company’) and its subsidiary (collectively called ‘the Mindtree Group’), which comprise the consolidated balance sheet as at 31 March 2014, the consolidated statement of profit and loss and consolidated cash flows statement for the year then ended, and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.

Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation of these consolidated financial statements that give a true and fair view of the consolidated financial position, consolidated financial performance and consolidated cash flows of the Mindtree Group in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in India. This responsibility includes the design, implementation and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and presentation of the consolidated financial statements that give a true and fair view and are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditor's Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India. Those Standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the Company’s preparation and presentation of the consolidated financial statements that give a true and fair view in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of the accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Opinion

In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, the consolidated financial statements give a true and fair view in conformity with the accounting principles generally accepted in India:

(a) in the case of the consolidated Balance Sheet, of the state of affairs of the Mindtree Group as at 31 March 2014;

2.Significant accounting policies

2.1 Basis ofpreparation of consolidated financial statements

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared and presented under the historical cost convention on the accrual basis of accounting except for certain financial instruments which are measured at fair values and comply with the Accounting Standards referred to in sub-section (3C) of section 211 of the Companies Act, 1956 (‘the Act’) which as per a clarification issued by the Ministry of Corporate Affairs continue to apply under section 133 of the Companies Act 2013 (which has superseded section 211(3C) of the Companies Act 1956 w.e.f. 12 September 2013), other pronouncements of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (‘ICAI’) and the guidelines issued by Securities and Exchange Board of India (‘SEBI’).

2.2 Principles of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of Mindtree and its subsidiary as set out below.

* Dissolved with effect from September 06, 2012.

The financial statements of Mindtree and its wholly owned and controlled subsidiary has been combined on a line-by-line basis by adding together the book values of all items of assets, liabilities, incomes and expenses after eliminating all inter-company balances/ transactions and the resultant unrealized gain/loss from the date the parent company acquired control of those subsidiaries.

The consolidated financial statements are prepared using uniform accounting policies for similar transactions and other events in similar circumstances.

2.3 Use of estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with the generally accepted accounting principles (‘GAAP’) in India requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of income and expenses of the period, assets and liabilities and disclosures relating to contingent liabilities as of the date of the consolidated financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Any revision to accounting estimates is recognised prospectively in future periods.

2.4 Fixed assets and depreciation

2.4.1 Fixed assets are carried at cost of acquisition (including directly attributable costs such as freight, installation, etc.) or construction less accumulated depreciation. Borrowing costs directly attributable to acquisition or construction of those fixed assets, which necessarily take a substantial period of time to get ready for their intended use, are capitalised.

2.4.2 Acquired intangible assets are capitalised at the acquisition price. Internally generated intangible assets are recorded at cost that can be measured reliably during the development phase and when it is probable that future economic benefits that are attributable to the assets will flow to the Group.

2.4.3 Leases under which the Group assumes substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are classified as finance leases. Such assets are capitalised at fair value of the asset or present value of the minimum lease payments at the inception of the lease, whichever is lower. Lease payments under operating leases are recognised as an expense in the statement of profit and loss on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

2.4.4 Advances paid towards the acquisition of fixed assets, outstanding at each balance sheet date are shown under capital advances. The cost of the fixed asset not ready for its intended use on such date, is disclosed under capital work-in- progress.

2.4.5 Depreciation is provided on the straight-line method. The rates specified under schedule XIV of the Companies Act, 1956 are considered as minimum rates. If the management’s estimate of the useful life of a fixed asset at the time of the acquisition of the asset or of the remaining useful life on a subsequent review is shorter than that envisaged in the aforesaid schedule, depreciation is provided at a higher rate based on the management’s estimate of the useful life/remaining useful life. Pursuant to this policy, the management has estimated the useful life as under:

2.4.6 Fixed assets inpidually costing Rupees five thousand or less are fully depreciated in the year of purchase/ installation. Depreciation on additions and disposals during the year is provided on a pro-rata basis.

2.4.7 The cost of leasehold land is amortised over the period of the lease. Leasehold improvements and assets acquired on finance lease are amortised over the lease term or useful life, whichever is lower.

2.5 Investments

2.5.1 Non-current investments are carried at cost less any other-than-temporary diminution in value, determined on the specific identification basis.

2.5.2Current investments are carried at the lower of cost and fair value. The comparison of cost and fair value is carried out separately in respect of each investment.

2.5.3Profit or loss on sale of investments is determined as the difference between the sale price and carrying value of investment, determined inpidually for each investment.

2.6 Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents in the consolidated cash flow statement comprises cash-in-hand and balance in bank in current accounts and deposit accounts.

2.7 Consolidated cash flow statement

Cash flows are reported using the indirect method, whereby consolidated net profit before tax is adjusted for the effects of transactions of a non-cash nature and any deferrals or accruals of past or future cash receipts or payments. The cash flows from regular revenue generating, investing and financing activities of the Group are segregated.

2.8 Employee benefits

2.8.1 Gratuity is a defined benefit scheme and is accrued based on actuarial valuations at the balance sheet date, carried out by an independent actuary. The Group has an employees’ gratuity fund managed by ICICI Prudential Life Insurance Company, SBI Life Insurance Company and Life Insurance Corporation of India. Actuarial gains and losses are charged to the statement of profit and loss.

2.8.2 Compensated absences are a long-term employee benefit and is accrued based on actuarial valuations at the balance sheet date, carried out by an independent actuary. The Group accrues for the expected cost of short-term compensated absences in the period in which the employee renders services.

2.8.3 Contributions payable to the recognised provident fund, which is a defined contribution scheme, are charged to the statement of profit and loss.

2.9 Revenue recognition

2.9.1 The Group derives its revenues primarily from software services. Revenue from software development on time-and-material basis is recognised as the related services are rendered. Revenue from fixed price contracts is recognised using the proportionate completion method, which is determined by relating the actual project cost of work performed to date to the estimated total project cost for each contract. Unbilled revenue represents cost and earnings in excess of billings while unearned revenue represents the billing in excess of cost and earnings. Provision for estimated losses, if any, on incomplete contracts are recorded in the period in which such losses become probable based on the current contract estimates. Maintenance revenue is recognised ratably over the period of the maintenance contract.

2.9.2 Provision for discounts is recognised on an accrual basis in accordance with contractual terms of agreements with customers. Revenues are stated net of discount.

2.9.3 pidend income is recognised when the right to receive payment is established.

2.9.4 Interest income is recognised using the time proportion method, based on the transactional interest rates.

2.10 Foreign exchange transactions

2.10.1 The Group is exposed to foreign currency transactions including foreign currency revenues, receivables and borrowings. With a view to minimize the volatility arising from fluctuations in currency rates, the Group enters into foreign exchange forward contracts and other derivative instruments.

2.10.2 Foreign exchange transactions are recorded using the exchange rates prevailing on the dates of the respective transactions. Exchange differences arising on foreign exchange transactions settled during the year are recognised in the statement of profit and loss for the year.

2.10.3 Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies as at the balance sheet date are translated at the closing exchange rates on that date; the resultant exchange differences are recognised in the statement of profit and loss. Non-monetary items which are carried in terms of historical cost denominated in a foreign currency are reported using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction.

2.10.4 In respect of integral operations, monetary assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rate prevailing at the date of the balance sheet. Non-monetary items are translated at the historical rate. The items in the statement of profit and loss are translated at the rates prevailing on the dates of the respective transactions. The differences arising out of the translation are recognised in the statement of profit and loss.

2.10.5 Forward exchange contracts and other similar instruments that are not in respect of forecasted transactions are accounted for using the guidance in Accounting Standard (‘AS’) 11, ‘The effects of changes in foreign exchange rates’. For such forward exchange contracts and other similar instruments covered by AS 11, based on the nature and purpose of the contract, either the contracts are recorded based on the forward rate/fair value at the reporting date, or based on the spot exchange rate on the reporting date. For contracts recorded at the spot exchange rates, the premium or discount at the inception is amortised as income or expense over the life of the contract.

2.10.6 For forward exchange contracts and other derivatives that are not covered by AS 11 and that relate to a firm commitment or highly probable forecasted transactions, the Group has adopted Accounting Standard ('AS') 30, ‘Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement’ to the extent that the adoption did not conflict with existing accounting standards and other authoritative pronouncements of the Company Law and other regulatory requirements. In accordance with AS 30, such derivative financial instruments, which qualify for cash flow hedge accounting and where Group has met all the conditions of cash flow hedge accounting, are fair valued at balance sheet date and the resultant exchange loss/(gain) is debited/credited to the hedge reserve until the transaction is completed. Other derivative instruments are recorded at fair value at the reporting date and the resultant exchange loss/ (gain) has been debited/ credited to statement of profit and loss.

2.11 Warranties

Warranty costs (i.e. post contract support services) are estimated by the management on the basis of technical evaluation and past experience. Provision is made for estimated liability in respect of warranty costs in the year of recognition of revenue.

2.12 Provision and contingent liabilities

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 may, but probably will not, require an outflow of resources. When there is a possible obligation or a present obligation in respect of which the likelihood of outflow of resources is remote, no provision or disclosure is made.

Provisions for onerous contracts, i.e. contracts where the expected unavoidable costs of meeting the obligations under the contract exceed the economic benefits expected to be received under it are recognised when it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle a present obligation as a result of an obligating event, based on a reliable estimate of such obligation.

2.13 Taxation

The current income tax charge is determined in accordance with the relevant tax regulations applicable to respective entities within the Group. Deferred tax charge or credit are recognised for the future tax consequences attributable to timing difference that result between the profit offered for income taxes and the profit as per the financial statements. Deferred tax in respect of timing difference which originate during the tax holiday period but reverse after the tax holiday period is recognised in the period in which the timing difference originate. For this purpose the timing differences which originate first are considered to reverse first. The deferred tax charge or credit and the corresponding deferred tax liabilities or assets are recognised using the tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date. Deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent there is reasonable certainty that the assets can be realised in future; however, when there is a brought forward loss or unabsorbed depreciation under taxation laws, deferred tax assets are recognised only if there is virtual certainty of realisation of such assets. Deferred tax assets are reviewed as at each balance sheet date and written down or written up to reflect the amount that is reasonably/ virtually certain to be realised.

Minimum alternate tax (‘MAT’) paid in accordance with the tax laws, which gives rise to future economic benefits in the form of tax credit against future income tax liability, is recognised as an asset in the balance sheet if there is a convincing evidence that the Group will pay normal tax after the tax holiday period and the resultant assets can be measured reliably. MAT credit entitlement can be carried forward and utilized for a period of ten years from the period in which such credit is availed.

The entities within the Group offset, on a year-on-year basis, the current tax assets and liabilities, where it has a legally enforceable right and where it intends to settle such assets and liabilities on a net basis.

2.14 Earnings per share

In determining earnings per share, the Group considers the consolidated net profit after tax and includes the post-tax effect of any extraordinary item. The number of equity shares used in computing basic earnings per share is the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the year. The number of equity shares used in computing diluted earnings per share comprises weighted average number of equity shares considered for deriving basic earnings per share and also weighted average number of equity shares which could have been issued on the conversion of all dilutive potential equity shares.

2.15 Impairment of assets

The Group assesses at each balance sheet date whether there is any indication that an asset (including goodwill) may be impaired. If any such indication exists, the Group estimates the recoverable amount of the asset. For an asset that does not generate largely independent cash inflows, the recoverable amount is determined for the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. If such recoverable amount of the asset or the recoverable amount of the cash generating unit to which the asset belongs is less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount is reduced to its recoverable amount. The reduction is treated as an impairment loss and is recognised in the statement of profit and loss. If at the balance sheet date there is an indication that if a previously assessed impairment loss no longer exists, the recoverable amount is reassessed and the asset is reflected at the recoverable amount. An impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the carrying amount of asset does not exceed the net book value that would have been determined; if no impairment loss had been recognised. In respect of goodwill, impairment loss will be reversed only when it is caused by specific external events and their effects have been reversed by subsequent external events.

2.16 Employee stock based compensation

The Group measures the compensation cost relating to employee stock options, restricted shares and stock appreciation rights using the intrinsic value method. The compensation cost is amortised over the vesting/ service period.

2.17 Goodwill

Goodwill arising on consolidation/ acquisition of assets is not amortised. It is tested for impairment on a periodic basis and written off, if found impaired.

2.18 Government grants

Grants from the government are recognised when there is reasonable assurance that:

(i) the Group will comply with the conditions attached to them; and

(ii) the grant will be received.

Government grants related to revenue are recognised on a systematic basis in the statement of profit and loss over the periods necessary to match them with the related costs which they are intended to compensate. Such grants are deducted in reporting the related expense. Where the Group receives non-monetary grants, the asset is accounted for on the basis of its acquisition cost. In case a non-monetary asset is given free of cost it is recognised at a nominal value.

c) The Group has received an income tax assessment for the financial year 2008-09 wherein demand of Rs. 24 has been raised against the Group on account of certain disallowances, adjustments made by the income tax department. A significant portion of this amount arises from the manner of adjustment of brought forward losses in arriving at the taxable profits of the Group and disallowance of portion of profit earned outside India from the STP and SEZ units.

The Group has received a favourable order from the Commissioner of Income tax (Appeals) for majority of grounds and considering the order passed, there will not be any demand on the Group. On the other grounds which are not favourable, the Group has filed an appeal before the Income Tax Appellate Tribunal (‘ITAT’).

These demands have arisen mainly on account of transfer pricing adjustments made in the order.

The Group has deposited Rs. 15 with the department against these demands. The department has adjusted pending refunds amounting to Rs. 363 against these demands.

The Group received a favourable order from the Commissioner of Income Tax (Appeals) for the year 2001-02 where in the Commissioner of Income Tax (Appeals) accepted the Group’s contentions and quashed the demand raised. The Income tax department appealed against the above mentioned order with ITAT. ITAT, in an earlier year passed an order setting aside both the orders of the Commissioner of Income Tax (Appeals) as well as the Assessing Officer and remanded the matter back to the Assessing Officer for re-assessment. The Group preferred an appeal with the Hon’ble High Court of Karnataka against the order of the ITAT. The Hon’ble High Court of Karnataka has dismissed the appeal filed against the order of ITAT and upheld the order passed by the ITAT and accordingly the case is pending before Assessing Officer for re-assessment

Management believes that the position taken by it on the matter is tenable and hence, no adjustment has been made to the financial statements. The Group has filed an appeal with Commissioner of Income Tax (Appeals) against the demand received.

The Group has received the order from the Commissioner of Income Tax (Appeals) wherein the Commissioner of Income Tax (Appeals) accepted the grounds in part and in respect of unfavorable grounds, the Group has filed an appeal before Income Tax Appellate Tribunal.

g) The Group has received a draft assessment order for financial year 2009-10 from the Deputy Commissioner of Income Tax with a demand amounting to Rs. 60 due to non- adjustment of brought forward losses and transfer pricing adjustments.

The Group will file an appeal with Commissioner of Income Tax (Appeals) once the final order is received.

3.9 Segmental reporting

Effective April 1, 2013, the Group has restructured its organisational and management structure and its internal financial reporting structure to be better aligned to market needs. Pursuant to such re-organization, the Group has identified Manufacturing, BFSI, Hitech, Travel and Transportation and Others as its reportable business segments. Accordingly, as required by the accounting standards, comparatives have been restated and presented in line with the current segments.

The accounting principles consistently used in the preparation of the financial statements are also consistently applied to record income and expenditure in individual segments.

Income and direct expenses in relation to segments are categorised based on items that are individually identifiable to that segment, while the remainder of costs are apportioned on an appropriate basis. Certain expenses are not specifically allocable to individual segments as the underlying services are used interchangeably. The Group therefore believes that it is not practical to provide segment disclosures relating to such expenses and accordingly such expenses are separately disclosed as unallocable and directly charged against total income.

The assets of the Group are used interchangeably between segments and the management believes that it is currently not practical to provide segment disclosures relating to total assets and liabilities since a meaningful segregation is not possible.
