Accelerating growth
Today, when much of the benefits of outsourcing have already been
realized, clients are increasingly turning to providers who understand
their businesses and become partners in their transformational
journey. The IT services industry, however, is rapidly commoditizing
and is staring at scalability issues. We see this as an opportunity to
transform our business and be highly relevant to our clients.
Recently, we drew the road map for building tomorrow's enterprise,
identifying seven trends that will shape the future of our clients'
businesses. Our focus today is to be relevant to the whole range of
our clients' spending – covering Business Transformation, Business
IT Services and Business Innovation. Our goal is to have an improved
portfolio of business that will ensure high-quality, industry-leading
growth, enhanced revenue productivity and relatively higher margins.
We have restructured the company and put in place a leadership
structure to deliver on this transformational journey. Nurturing
our diverse global talent pool is the key to propelling these growth
engines and sustaining the momentum of our business.
Welcome to the new and improved version of Infosys, which we call
Infosys 3.0

Geographic segmentation is based on business sourced from that geographic region and delivered from both onsite and offshore. North America
comprises the U.S., Canada and Mexico, Europe includes continental Europe (both the east and the west), Ireland and the U.K., and the
Rest of the World comprising all other places except those mentioned above and India. Consequent to the above change in the composition of
reportable segments, the prior year comparatives have been restated.
Revenue and identifiable operating expenses in relation to segments are categorized based on items that are individually identifiable to that
segment. Allocated expenses of segments include expenses incurred for rendering services from the Company's offshore software development
centers and onsite expenses, which are categorized in relation to the associated turnover of the segment. Certain expenses such as depreciation,
which form a significant component of total expenses, are not specifically allocable to specific segments as the underlying assets are used
interchangeably. The Management believes that it is not practical to provide segment disclosures relating to those costs and expenses, and
accordingly these expenses are separately disclosed as ‘unallocated’ and adjusted against the total income of the Company.
Assets and liabilities used in the Company's business are not identified to any of the reportable segments, as these are used interchangeably
between segments. The Management believes that it is currently not practical to provide segment disclosures relating to total assets and liabilities
since a meaningful segregation of the available data is onerous.
Geographical information on revenue and industry revenue information is collated based on individual customers invoiced or in relation to
which the revenue is otherwise recognized.

2.21. Litigation
On May 23, 2011, we received a subpoena from a grand jury in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas. The subpoena
requires that we provide the grand jury certain documents and records related to our sponsorships for, and uses of, B1 business visas.
We are complying with the subpoena. In connection with the subpoena, during a recent meeting with the United States Attorney's Office for
the Eastern District of Texas, we were advised that we and certain of our employees are targets of the investigation. We intend to have further
discussions with the U.S. Attorney's Office regarding this matter, however, we cannot predict the final outcome of the investigation by, or
discussions with, the U.S. Attorney's Office.
In addition, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (‘DHS’ or ‘the Department’) is undertaking a review of our employer eligibility verifications
on Form I-9 with respect to our employees working in the U.S. In connection with this review, we have been advised that the DHS has found
errors in a significant percentage of our Forms I-9 that the Department has reviewed. In the event that the DHS ultimately concludes that our
Forms I-9 contained errors, the Department would likely impose fines and penalties on us. At this time, we cannot predict the final outcome of
the review by, or the discussions with, the DHS or other governmental authority regarding the review of our Forms I-9.
In light of the fact that, among other things, the foregoing investigation and review are ongoing and we remain in discussions with the
U.S. Attorney's Office regarding these matters, we are unable to make an estimate of the amount or range of loss that we could incur from
unfavorable outcomes in such matters.
In the event that any government undertakes any actions which limit any visa program that we utilize, or imposes sanctions, fines or penalties
on us or our employees, this could materially and adversely affect our business and results of operations.

We benefit from certain significant tax incentives provided to the software industry under Indian Tax laws. The Company was eligible and had
claimed tax benefit under STP scheme for export profits earned by STP units upto the year ended March 31, 2011. The STP tax holiday scheme
expired on March 31, 2011. Currently, the profit of SEZ units in proportion of export turnover to total turnover of the units is eligible for deduction.
As per the SEZ Act, the SEZ units are eligible for a deduction of 100% of profits or gains derived from the export of services for the first five years
from commencement of provision of services and 50% of such profits or gains for the next five years. Certain tax benefits are also available for
a further five years subject to the units meeting defined conditions.
The details regarding the commencement of operations at our SEZ locations and the year upto which the deduction under the SEZ scheme is

The benefits of these tax incentive programs have historically resulted in an effective tax rate, well below the statutory rates for us. There is no
assurance that the Government of India will continue to provide these incentives.
The government may reduce or eliminate the tax exemptions provided to Indian exporters at any time in the future. This may result in our export
profits being fully taxed, and may adversely affect the post-tax profits in the future.
On a full tax-paid basis, without any duty concessions on equipment, hardware and software, our post-tax profits for the relevant years are

ValueReporting™
At Infosys, we have always believe that information asymmetry between the Management and shareholders should be minimized. Accordingly,
we have been at the forefront in practicing progressive and transparent disclosures. We were the first in India to adopt the U.S. Generally Accepted
Accounting Principles (GAAP). Further, we were the first foreign private issuer in India to file primary financial statements with the Securities
and Exchange Commission (SEC) in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International
Accounting Standards Board. This year we have valued our human capital and the human capital positive externality under a new model (1).
Thereafter, we rapidly progressed to additional disclosures that give deeper insights to the way we run our business and our value creation. We
continue to provide additional information even though it is not mandated by law because we believe that it will enable investors to make more
informed decisions based on our performance.
The book, The Value Reporting Revolution : Moving Beyond the Earnings Game, authored by Robert Eccles, Robert Herz, Mary Keegan and David
Phillips, associated to the accounting firm, PricewaterhouseCoopers, (published by John Wiley & Sons, Inc., U.S., ©2001), acknowledged the
need to go beyond GAAP in providing information to shareholders. In their book, Building Public Trust : The Future of Corporate Reporting
(published by John Wiley & Sons, Inc., U.S., ©2002 PricewaterhouseCoopers), our business model and reporting were referred to in detail.
We believe the following ValueReporting™ paradigm applies to us :
Infosys Infosys
Creation Preservation Realization
Investors Group
• Create sustainable customer • Exercise judicious control • Seek to meet or exceed our
value through our service over expenses to ensure communicated goals
and solution offerings predictability in earnings • Seek to realize shareholder
• Grow responsibly with • De-risk growth to ensure expectations through
industry leading profitability high-quality growth, thereby improved investor
protecting shareholders' value communications
We identified the need to provide a range of non-financial parameters early in our existence – before our Indian public offering in 1993.
To reduce information asymmetry, we make the following disclosures in addition to the mandated Indian and IFRS financial statements and
supplementary data as required by the relevant statutes :
• Brand valuation
• Balance Sheet including intangible assets
• Economic Value-Added (EVA®) statement
• Intangible asset scorecard
• Risk management report
• Human resource accounting and value-added statement

By adopting similar internal measures to evaluate business performance, our employees are adjudged based on metrics that are additional to the
financials. This balances financial and non-financial performance across all levels of the organization. Accordingly, we seek to align the measures
by which stakeholders measure our performance with what results in employee rewards.
In addition to the Annual Report, a Sustainability Report measuring compliance against the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) is also being
published since fiscal 2008. We are voluntarily participating in the voluntary filing program of GRI initiated by XBRL International Inc. in 2012.
In fiscal 2005, we adopted and furnished eXtensible Business Reporting Language (XBRL) data to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission
(SEC) for the first time. We are the 4th Company worldwide to adopt the XBRL. As the SEC website is under preparation for the acceptance
of IFRS XBRL filings, we have not been furnishing our IFRS filings after March 31, 2009, although we have completed a pilot testing on XBRL
statements in IFRS. We have been invited by the International Accounting Standards Board to conduct pilot testing of the new versions of the
IFRS taxonomy and have tested on the detailed tagging of the IFRS taxonomy.
The book, One Report : Integrated Reporting for a Sustainable Strategy, authored by Robert Eccles and Michael Krzus, (published by John Wiley
& Sons, Inc., U.S., © 2010), analyzes the need to give one integrated report for financial and non-financial measures for providing information
to shareholders. Although we give all the information through multiple reports today, we will strive towards an integrated report in future.
In an endeavor to achieve the same, we have significantly enhanced the involvement of social media network by having a company presence on
FacebookTM and TwitterTM for interacting with a wider and larger part of the stakeholder community. We have also adopted a social media policy
that provides guidelines for participating in social media responsibly without compromising the Company's interest by deliberate or inadvertent
disclosure of company confidential / proprietary information. Further, in an effort to increase the robustness of our non-financial valuations
to a more contemporary model, we have valued our human capital valuation together with the newer dimension on human externality valuation
using a new model. The model assumptions and parameters have been discussed in detail in the Human resource valuation section.
In the coming years, we will continue our commitment to furnish additional qualitative information to help our shareholders understand better,
the management of our business.
