 Recorded items
◦ Cash flow hedge related gain/(loss) realised as the fair
value at the beginning and year end needs to be
stated which provides gain/(loss) which may be
notional
◦ Difference in functional currency and foreign currency
of revenue recognition leading to translation related
gain/(loss)
 Need for OCI
◦ Accounting norms and regulations
◦ Different from normal P&L items but yet relevant
OCI Statement (Continued)

 Interest expense FY2017 = $86.8 million
 The above is not same as the corporate tax
rate multiplied by the accounting income
◦ Reason: Adjustments on account of reconciliation
between tax norms and accounting principles
◦ Also arise on account of creation of deferred tax
assets and liabilities
Corporate Income Tax

 Deferred Tax Assets
◦ Definition: Lead to tax savings in future on account of
present transactions
◦ Creation: Arise primarily on account of temporary
differences created due to different tax & accounting
norms
Deferred Tax Asset

 Deferred Tax Liabilities
◦ Definition: Lead to tax outflow in future on
account of present transactions
◦ Creation: Arise primarily on account of temporary
differences created due to different tax &
accounting norms
Deferred Tax Liabilities

 No current tax assets as on June 30, 2017.
 Current tax liabilities to the extent of $11.8
million
◦ Liabilities to be paid within 12 months
 Since some tax is paid on an ongoing basis,
hence tax payable does not equal tax
expense but typically less than that
