in estimates of the percentage complete or losses on contracts is reflected in
the period in which the changes become known.

PART I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

SYNTEL INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

REVENUES. The Company's revenues consist of fees derived from its Applications
Outsourcing, e-Business, and TeamSourcing business segments. Revenues decreased
8.0% to $39.5 million in the second quarter of 2002 from $42.9 million in the
second quarter of 2001. Worldwide billable headcount, including personnel
employed by Syntel India, Syntel Singapore, Syntel Europe, and Syntel Germany as
of June 30, 2002 increased to 1,781 compared to 1,551 as of June 30, 2001.

APPLICATIONS OUTSOURCING REVENUES. Applications Outsourcing revenues increased
to $26.7 million for the second quarter of 2002, or 67.7% of total revenues,
from $26.6 million, or 61.8% of second quarter revenues for 2001. The revenues
for first six months of 2002 increased to $54.2 million, or 67.7% of total
revenues, from $52.1 million or 60.7% of total revenues for the first six months
of 2001. The $0.1 million increase for the second quarter was attributable
principally to net growth in new engagements, contributing approximately $6.5
million, largely offset by $6.4 million in lost revenues as a result of project
completion. The $2.1 million increase for first six months of 2002 was
attributable principally to net growth in new engagements, contributing
approximately $11.7 million, largely offset by $9.6 million in lost revenues as
a result of projects completion.

APPLICATIONS OUTSOURCING COST OF REVENUES. Cost of revenues consists of costs
directly associated with billable consultants in the US and offshore, including
salaries, payroll taxes, benefits, relocation costs, immigration costs, finders
fees, trainee compensation, and travel. Applications Outsourcing costs of
revenues decreased to 55.2% of total Applications Outsourcing revenues for the
second quarter of 2002, from 56.8% for the second quarter of 2001. Cost of
Revenues for the first six months of 2002 decreased to 55.5% of total
Applications Outsourcing revenues, from 58.6% for the first six months of 2001.
Both 1.6% and 3.1% decrease in cost of revenues, as a percent of revenues for
the second quarter and for the first six months of 2002 was attributable to the
increase in higher margin offshore component of the overall services.

E-BUSINESS REVENUES. e-Business revenues decreased to $8.6 million for the
second quarter of 2002, or 21.7% of total consolidated revenues, from $10.4
million, or 24.1% of total consolidated revenues for the second quarter of 2001.
The $1.8 million decrease for the second quarter was attributable principally to
lost revenues as a result of project completions, contributing approximately
$4.1 million, partially offset by new business revenues of $2.3 million.
Revenues for the first six months of 2002 decreased to $17.1 million, or 21.4%
of total revenues, from $21.8 million or 25.4% of total revenues for the first
six months of 2001. The $4.6 million decrease for the six months of 2002 was
attributable principally to lost revenues as a



8




result of project completions, contributing approximately $9.1 million,
partially offset by new business revenues of $4.5 million.

E-BUSINESS COST OF REVENUES. e-Business cost of revenues consists of costs
directly associated with billable consultants in the US and offshore, including
salaries, payroll taxes, benefits, relocation costs, immigration costs, finders
fees, trainee compensation, and travel. e-Business cost of revenues decreased to
63.6% of total e-Business revenues for the second quarter of 2002, from 64.9%
for the second quarter of 2001. For the first six months of 2002, e-Business
costs of revenues decreased to 63.9% of total e-business revenues, from 64.2%
for the first six months of 2001. Both 1.3% and 0.3% decrease in cost of
revenues as a percent of total e-business revenues for the first three and six
months of 2002, respectively, was attributable primarily to improved onsite
utilization rates.

TEAMSOURCING REVENUES. TeamSourcing revenues decreased to $4.2 million for the
second quarter of 2002, or 10.6% of total revenues, down from $6.0 million, or
14.1% of total revenues for the second quarter of 2001. For the first six months
of 2002, TeamSourcing revenues decreased to $8.7 million, or 10.8% of total
revenues, down from $11.9 million or 13.9% of total revenues for the first six
months of 2001. Both the $1.8 million decrease for the second quarter as well as
the $3.2 million decrease for the first six months of 2002 were principally due
to a decrease in US based billable consultants on various engagements, as a
result of a conscious decision by management to reduce organizational focus away
from this segment and focusing on higher margin Segments.

TEAMSOURCING COST OF REVENUES. TeamSourcing cost of revenues consists of costs
directly associated with billable consultants in the US, including salaries,
payroll taxes, benefits, relocation costs, immigration costs, finders fees,
trainee compensation, and travel. TeamSourcing cost of revenues increased to
88.1% of TeamSourcing revenues for the second quarter of 2002, from 74.9% for
the second quarter of 2001. The cost of revenues as a percent of revenues
increased to 85.9% of total TeamSourcing revenues for the six month period ended
Jun 30, 2002, from 75.5% for the six month period ending June 30, 2001. Both the
13.2% and 10.4% increase in cost of revenues as a percent of total TeamSourcing
revenues for the first three and six months of 2002, respectively, was
attributable primarily to lower utilization due to the softness in the economy.

SELLING, GENERAL, AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES. Selling, general, and
administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries, payroll taxes and
benefits for sales, solutions, finance, administrative, and corporate staff,
travel, telecommunications, business promotions, marketing and various facility
costs for the Company's Global Development Centers and various offices. Selling,
general, and administrative costs for the three months ended June 30, 2002 were
$7.6 million, or 19.4% of total revenues, compared to $8.4 million or 19.6% of
total revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2001. The $0.8 million
decrease was attributable principally to decrease in compensation costs due to
reduced corporate staff in US and UK, reversal of bonus provisions in US,
reduction in the depreciation expenses due to fully depreciated assets and
recovery of previously reserved for receivable contributing approximately $0.9
million, $2.8 million, $0.1 million and $0.8 million, respectively. The decrease
was partially offset by increase in marketing expenses, office expenses,
recognition of current period allowance for doubtful accounts provision in US,
recognition of current period bonus provision and increased facility costs at
Germany contributing approximately $0.2 million, $0.2 million, $1.1 million,
$2.2 million and $0.1 million, respectively. Selling, General and Administrative
Expenses decreased to $15.7 million, or 19.6% of total revenues for the six
month period ending June 30, 2002 from $17.2 million or 20.1% of total revenue
for the same period in 2001. The decrease of $1.5 million in Selling, General
and Administrative expenses in six month period ended June 30, 2002 over the
same period in 2001 was attributable principally to decrease in compensation
costs due to reduced corporate staff in US and UK, reversal of bonus provisions
in US, reduction in the depreciation expenses due to fully depreciated assets
and recovery of previously reserved for receivable contributing approximately
$1.8 million, $2.8 million, $0.4 million and $0.8 million, respectively. The
decrease was partially offset by increase in marketing expenses, office
expenses, recognition of current period allowance for doubtful accounts in US,
recognition of current period bonus provision, travel, office rent,
telecommunication and increased facility costs at Germany contributing
approximately $0.2 million, $0.2 million, $1.1 million, $2.2 million, $0.1
million, $0.1 million, $0.1 million and $0.3 million, respectively.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

In recent history, the Company has financed its working capital needs through
operations. The Company's cash and cash equivalents consist primarily of
certificates of deposit, corporate bonds and treasury notes. A large majority of
such amounts are held by Bank One for which a triple A rated letter of credit
has been provided. Remaining amounts are held by various banking institutions
including other U.S.-based and local India-based banks.


9




Net cash generated by operating activities was $9.9 million for the first six
months of 2002, compared to $15.2 million for the first six months of 2001. The
number of days sales outstanding in accounts receivable was approximately 59
days and 62 days as of June 30, 2002 and June 30, 2001, respectively.

Net cash provided by investing activities was $3.4 million for the first six
months of 2002, consisted principally of $19.3 million for proceeds from sale of
available-for-sale securities, partially offset by $15.2 million for purchase of
available-for- sale securities and $ 0.7 million for capital expenditures,
consisting principally of computer equipment and communication equipment. Net
cash used in investing activities was $11.0 million for the six months of 2001,
consisted principally of $12.8 million for purchase of available-for- sale
securities, $1.1 million for the acquisition of land for construction of the new
development and training center in Pune, India, $0.7 million in computer
equipment and $0.3 million in equity and other investments partially offset by
$3.9 million for proceeds from sale of available-for-sale securities.

Net cash provided by financing activities was $0.8 million and $0.1 million for
the first six months of 2002 and 2001, respectively. Cash provided by financing
activities for the first six months of 2002 consisted principally of $3.7
million for the proceeds from the exercise of stock options; offset by common
stock repurchases of $2.9 million. Cash provided by financing activities for the
first six months of 2001 consisted principally of $0.9 million for the proceeds
from the exercise of stock options; offset by common stock repurchases of $0.8
million.

The Company has a line of credit with Bank One, which provides for borrowings up
to $20.0 million. The line of credit expires on August 31, 2002. The line of
credit contains covenants restricting the Company from, among other things,
incurring additional debt, issuing guarantees and creating liens on the
Company's property, without the prior consent of the bank. The line of credit
also requires the Company to maintain certain tangible net worth levels and
leverage ratios. At June 30, 2002, there was no indebtedness outstanding under
the line of credit. The letters of credit bear 1% fee of the face value payable
annually in advance. Borrowings under the line of credit bear interest at 1) a
formula approximating the bank's Eurodollar rate plus applicable margin of 1.25%
or 2) the bank's prime rate plus 1.25%.

The Company believes that the combination of present cash balances and future
operating cash flows will be sufficient to meet the Company's currently
anticipated cash requirements for at least the next 12 months.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In July 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 141,
"Business Combinations" and SFAS No. 142



10







"Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets". SFAS 141 replaces Accounting Principles
Board Opinion 16, "Business Combinations" and requires that the purchase method
of accounting be used for all business combinations initiated after June 30,
2001. SFAS 142 replaces APB 17, "Intangible Assets". In accordance with SFAS No.
141 and 142, effective for the Company's year ended December 31, 2002, as a
replacement to amortization of goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite
lives, the Company will evaluate goodwill and intangible assets for impairment
annually. The standards have been adopted as of January 1, 2002 and have not had
a material effect on the financial statements. As of June 30, 2002, net goodwill
was approximately $906,000.

In February 2002, the Emerging Issues Task Force issued Topic D-103, "Income
Statement Characterization of Reimbursements Received for "Out-of-Pocket"
Expenses", which requires reimbursements of out-of-pocket expenses to be
presented as revenues and the associated costs to be presented as expenses. The
Company has adopted the above statement from January 1, 2002 resulting in
increased revenues and corresponding expenses, the impact of which is not
significant. The prior quarter figures have been reclassified to conform with
the current quarter presentation as above.
