NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 2009 AND 2008
(Amounts in thousands)
1. Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of iGATE Corporation (iGATE or the Company) have been prepared by management in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and disclosures required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of the management, all adjustments (consisting only of normally recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.
The accompanying balance sheet and financial information as of December 31, 2008 is derived from audited financial statements but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2009 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Companys audited financial statements and notes thereto included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008.
Principles of Consolidation
The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
Use of Estimates
Preparing financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year.
Adoption of FAS 160 Noncontrolling interest
On January 1, 2009, the Company adopted the provisions of Financial Accounting Standard Board Statement No.160, Non-controlling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements an amendment of ARB No.51, (FAS 160). The Company has retrospectively changed the classification and presentation of noncontrolling interest as required by FAS 160, previously referred to as minority interest, in the consolidated financial statements for all periods presented to conform to the classification and presentation of noncontrolling interest. As a result of the implementation of FAS 160, cash outflows for the purchase of noncontrolling interest amounting to $38 and $24,138 were reclassified from investing activities to financing activities in the consolidated statement of cash flows for three months ended March 31, 2009, and 2008, respectively.
2. Discontinued Operations
On July 31, 2008, the Company completed the divestiture and sale of iGATE Clinical Research International Inc. and iGATE Clinical Research International Private Limited collectively iCRI for cash consideration of approximately $3.6 million which include cash transfer of $0.7 million. This sale resulted in a gain of approximately $1.8 million.
On September 30, 2008, the Company completed the spin-off of Mastech. The distribution of common stock of the newly formed company was considered a tax free transaction for the Company. The Company incurred costs of approximately $3.2 million including amounts associated with investment banking fees and other transaction costs related to the spin-off. iGATE continued to provide Mastech employees with coverage under iGATE employee benefit plans through December 31, 2008 and has been reimbursed by Mastech for premiums and costs related to such services and coverage.
In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long Lived Assets, the results of operations and cash flows of iCRI and Mastech have been classified as discontinued operations in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for all periods presented through the date of sale and spin-off. Cash flows of iCRI and Mastech have been segregated in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows as separate line items within operating, investing and financing activities.
In accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue no. 03-13, Applying the Conditions in Paragraph 42 of FASB Statement No. 144 in Determining Whether to Report Discontinued Operations the Company determined that the outsourcing services provided by iGATE Global Solutions Limited (iGS) to Mastech are not significant and hence do not result in significant continuing involvement in the operations of Mastech.

Under the Indian Income Tax Act, 1961, iGS is eligible to claim a tax holiday for ten consecutive assessment years on profits derived from the export of software services from divisions registered under the Software Technology Parks at Bangalore, Chennai, Hyderabad and Noida. On certain of the units, the benefits of the holiday expired in 2005. Additionally, the tax holiday for one of the units in Chennai expired effective April 1, 2008. Non -operating income, such as interest income and capital gains income along with operating income to the extent of expiry of tax holiday is not included in the tax holiday, and has been considered as part of our income tax provisions.
5. Earnings Per Share
The Company computes earnings per share in accordance with SFAS No. 128, Earnings per share and FASB Staff Position (FSP) No. EITF 03-6-1, Determining Whether Instruments Granted in Share-Based Payment Transactions Are Participating Securities. Basic earnings per share for the two classes of stock (common stock and unvested restricted stock) is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock and unvested restricted stock outstanding. Diluted earnings per share is computed using the weighted average number of common stock and unvested restricted stock plus the potentially dilutive effect of common stock equivalents.

The Companys forward and option contracts to hedge foreign currency cash flows will mature by June 30, 2011. As each contract matures, the Company will receive Rupees at the contracted rate while delivering either the U.S. Dollar (USD) or Canadian Dollar (CAD) equivalent of Rupees at the prevailing Rupee exchange rate. Accordingly, the effective portion of gains and losses is deferred as a component of other comprehensive (loss) income and is recognized in earnings at the time the hedged item affects earnings. Gains and losses due to hedge ineffectiveness or related to contracts which do not qualify for hedge accounting are recorded in current period earnings and included in other income and expense.

7. Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
As part of the Companys on-going business operations, certain assets and forecasted transactions are exposed to foreign currency risks due to fluctuations in exchange rate between the Rupee and USD. The objective for holding derivatives is to eliminate or reduce the impact of these exposures.
The Company enters into forward foreign exchange contracts to mitigate the risk of changes in foreign exchange rates on inter-company transactions and forecasted transactions denominated in foreign currencies. Contracts are designated as cash flow hedges if they satisfy the criteria for hedge accounting under SFAS 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. The effective portion of the gain or loss on the derivative is reported as a component of other comprehensive income and reclassified into earnings in the same period or periods during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. The ineffective portion of the gain or loss of hedging instruments are recognized in the earnings of each period and are included in other income (expense), net.
The Company documents all relationships between hedging instruments and hedge items including the risk management objectives and strategy for each hedge transaction. In addition, formal assessment is done for effectiveness testing both at the inception of the hedge and on a quarterly basis. If it is determined that a derivative or a portion thereof is not highly effective as a hedge, or if a derivative ceases to be highly effective hedge, the Company will prospectively discontinue hedge accounting with respect to that derivative.
In all situations in which hedge accounting is discontinued and the derivative is retained, the derivative is continued to be carried at its fair value on the balance sheet and any subsequent change in its fair value is recognized in the consolidated statement of income.

8. Fair Value Measurements
SFAS No. 157 Fair Value Measurements establishes a three-tier value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in the valuation methodologies in measuring fair value:
Level 1 Observable inputs that reflect quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
Level 2 Includes other inputs that are directly or indirectly observable in the marketplace.
70
iGATE CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 2009 AND 2008
(Amounts in thousands)
Level 3 Unobservable inputs which are supported by little or no market activity.
The fair value hierarchy also requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. In accordance with SFAS 157, the Company measures cash equivalents, marketable securities and foreign currency derivative contracts at fair value. Cash equivalents and marketable securities are primarily classified within Level 1 or Level 2. This is because the cash equivalents and marketable securities are valued primarily using quoted market prices or alternative pricing sources and models utilizing market observable inputs. The foreign currency derivative contracts are classified within Level 2 as the valuation inputs are based on quoted prices and market observable data of similar instruments in active markets.
Assets and liabilities measured at fair value are summarized below:

The Company has adopted FAS 157 for non-financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis at 1 January 2009 and will continue to apply its provisions prospectively. The application of FAS 157 for non-financial assets and liabilities did not have a significant impact on earnings nor the financial position in the first quarter of 2009.

Some of our current service offerings are non-IT related and include services as diverse as call centers and mortgage and claims processing. We may continue to expand our IT enabled operations offshore outsourcing service offerings through acquisitions and strategic relationships and internal initiatives.

iGATE has offshore development centers (ODCs) located in Bangalore, Hyderabad, Chennai and Noida in India. iGATE has global development centers (GDCs) located in Canada, Malaysia and the U.S. The centers can deliver both near shore (work performed primarily at the client site) and offshore services, dependent upon customer location and expectations. iGATE operates in India, Canada, the U.S., Europe, Mexico, Singapore, Malaysia, Japan and Australia.
A majority of our clients have headquarters in North America and operate internationally. iGATE has 6,492 employees as of March 31, 2009.
iGATE markets its service offerings to large and medium-sized organizations. Certain contracts are based upon a fixed price with payment based upon deliverables and/or project milestones reached. Certain contracts are time-and-materials based where contract payments are based on the number of consultant hours worked on the project. Certain contracts with no stated deliverables have a designated workforce and are based on fixed periodic payments. Some process outsourcing contracts provide pricing per transaction. Customers typically have the right to cancel contracts with minimal notice. Contracts with deliverables or project milestones can provide for certain penalties if the deliverables or project milestones are not met within contract timelines.
iGATE services customers in a wide range of industries. Our largest customer is General Electric Company (GE) which accounted for approximately 24% and 24% of revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. iGATE is a Global Preferred Partner of GE.

Results of Operations from Operations for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2009 as Compared to the Three Months Ended March 31, 2008:
Revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2009 were $44.8 million, a decrease of $10.8 million, or 19.5%, as compared to $55.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008. Our revenue decrease for the periods presented is directly attributable to a combination of reduced customer demand, pricing pressure, volatility in currency markets, and customer insolvencies. The top 10 customers accounted for 79% and 75% of the revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and March 31, 2008, respectively.
The gross margin as a percentage of sales (gross margin percentage) was 35.9% for the three months ended March 31, 2009, as compared to 36.6% for the three months ended March 31, 2008. The decrease in gross margin percentage was primarily on account of reduction in revenue, decreased utilization and reductions in average bill rates, which could not offset the favorable movement of exchange movement.
Selling, general and administrative expenses (S,G&A) include all costs that are not directly associated with revenue-generating activities. S,G&A expenses include employee costs, corporate costs and facilities costs. Employee costs include selling, marketing and administrative salaries and related employee benefits, travel, recruiting and training costs. Corporate costs include costs such as legal, accounting and outside consulting fees. Facilities costs primarily include rent and communications costs.
S,G&A costs for the three months ended March 31, 2009 were $8.6 million or 19.2% of revenues, as compared to $11.9 million or 21.5% of revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2008. Our net employee cost decreased by approximately $2.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009, as compared to three months ended March 31, 2008, mainly due to decrease in variable pay, reduction of support headcount from 510 to 487, recruitment, travel and related costs. Our net corporate cost was lower by approximately $0.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009 due to decrease in provision for doubtful debts, marketing, legal, accounting and administrative charges. Our net facilities costs decreased by $0.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009, mainly due to reduction in rental and communication related expenses.
Depreciation and amortization costs for the three months ended March 31, 2009 were $1.9 million or 4.3% of revenues, as compared to $2.9 million or 5.2% of revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2008.
Operating income was 12.5% of revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 9.9% of revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2008. This increase was due primarily to the decrease in S,G&A costs.
Other (Expense) Income Components
Other (expenses) income, net for the three months ended March 31, 2009, totaled $(0.8) million, compared to $1.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008.
During the three months ended March 31, 2009, our net investment income totaled $0.9 million as compared to $0.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008. The increase was due to an increase in cash and cash equivalents from $51.5 million in March 31, 2008 to $62.6 million in March 31, 2009 and a consequential increase in investable funds. The increase in cash was mainly due to the cash flow from operating activity which offsets the payment of dividend and investment in new properties. For the three months ended March 31, 2009, we recognized a $1.8 million of foreign currency loss in our income statement as compared to a gain of $0.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008. These are primarily due to movements of foreign currency rates. As of March 31, 2009 all the outstanding forward contracts met the qualifying criteria to apply hedge accounting.
78
Income Taxes
Federal income taxes, calculated at the U.S. statutory rate, totaled $1.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009. State income taxes, which totaled $0.01 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009, were calculated using a blended statutory rate, and are net of federal income tax benefit. Our income tax provision was a benefit of $0.15 million at an effective rate of 3.2% for the three months ended March 31, 2009.
Several items caused variations from our statutory tax provision. iGS is eligible to claim a tax holiday on the majority of its operating income through March 31, 2010. Taxable income for determining the income tax provision of iGS includes non operating income, such as interest income and capital gains income and operating income of one of its units for which tax holiday has expired. The tax holiday and foreign taxes have resulted in a benefit of $2.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009.
Other variations typically arise because certain expenses or benefits recorded in our financial statements are either limited or disallowed when calculating our income tax provision. Certain expenses such as meals and entertainment are limited for income tax purposes. Losses in the current year will result in a set off of future taxable income. The impact of the limited or disallowed items and benefit of losses discussed above was $0.24 million.
Federal income taxes, calculated at the U.S. statutory rate, totaled $2.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008. State income taxes which totaled $0.01 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008, were calculated using a blended statutory rate, and are net of federal income tax benefit. Our income tax provision was $0.1 million at an effective rate of 1.5% for the three months ended March 31, 2008.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash from Operations
