Comments on Balance Sheet of Infosys Technology Systems:
1) INCOME STATEMENT
Format
IFRS: There is no prescribed format for the income statement. The entity
should select a method of presenting its expenses by either function or
nature; this can either be, as is encouraged, on the face of the income
statement, or in the notes. Additional disclosure of expenses by nature is
required if functional presentation is used. IFRS requires, as a minimum,
presentation of the following items on the face of the income statement:
1. revenue;
2. finance costs;
3. share of post-tax results of associates and joint ventures accounted for
using the equity
4. method;
5. tax expense;
6. post-tax gain or loss attributable to the results and to remeasurement
of discontinued operations;
7. Profit or loss for the period.
The portion of profit or loss attributable to the minority interest and to the
parent entity is separately disclosed on the face of the income statement as
allocations of profit or loss for the period. An entity that discloses an
operating result should include all items of an operating nature, including
those that occur irregularly or infrequently or are unusual in amount.

2. a multiple-step format where cost of sales is deducted from sales to
show gross profit, and other income and expense are then presented to
give income before tax. SEC regulations require registrants to
categorise expenses by their function. Amounts attributable to the
minority interest are presented as a component of net income or loss.
IFRS: The total of income and expense recognised in the period comprises
net income. The following income and expense items are recognised directly
in equity:

Indian GAAP: Similar to IFRS, except that US GAAP does not have a
SoRIE, and SEC rules permit the statement to be presented either as a
primary statement or in the notes.
