iGATE CORPORATION

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 Company’s 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 Company’s 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 Company’s 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 document’s 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:

In February 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position 157-2, Effective Date of FAS 157 (“FSP FAS 175-2”). This FSP FAS 157-2 deferred the effective date of FAS 157 for non-financial assets and liabilities that are not on a recurring basis recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements, to fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. 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.’

9. Employee Benefits

Business Overview

iGATE’s service offerings include Information Technology (“IT”) and IT enabled operations offshore outsourcing solutions and services to large and medium-sized organizations using an offshore/onsite model.

The use of offshore outsourcing for IT and IT enabled operations offshore outsourcing solutions and services has emerged as a global trend in numerous countries and industries. Our clients recognize that offshore outsourcing is an effective way to provide high quality and cost-effective services.

Our principal strategy is to offer offshore-based Integrated Technology and Operations (“iTOPS”) solutions that integrate IT outsourcing and IT enabled operations offshore outsourcing solutions and services in a seamless offering as well as conventional IT and business process outsourcing services to our clients in various industries. 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.

Our iTOPs offerings include outsourcing solutions focused primarily on insurance, banking, financial services and capital markets industries as well as finance and accounting process outsourcing delivered out of our offshore facilities in India that targets diverse industries

IT services that we deliver using our offshore centers include software application development and maintenance, system integration, implementation and support of enterprise applications, package evaluation and implementation, re-engineering, data warehousing, business intelligence, analytics, data management and integration, software testing and IT infrastructure management services. We believe that we deliver high quality solutions to our clients at a substantial savings by using our global pool of highly talented people.

IT enabled operations offshore outsourcing solutions and services offered include business process outsourcing, transaction processing services and call center services. The call center services are offered to clients in several industries and are not industry specific. The transaction processing services offered are focused on the mortgage banking, financial services, insurance and capital market industries, except for the delivery of finance and accounting functions such as accounts payable which can be performed for clients across all industries.

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. Our Global Preferred Partnership status extends through the end of 2009. Our second largest customer, Royal Bank of Canada, accounted for approximately 23% and 17% of revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

Reportable Financial Segments

The Company’s reportable segments through June 30, 2008 were iGATE Solutions (“iGS”), iGATE Professional Services (“iPS”) and iGATE Shared Services (“iSS”). The iGS segment’s service offerings include IT and IT enabled operations offshore outsourcing solutions and services to large and medium-sized organizations. The iPS segment’s offerings included a variety of client-managed and supervised IT staffing service offerings. This segment services are offered principally in the United States of America. The iSS segment’s offerings included the operations of the clinical research business (i.e. iGATE Clinical Research International Inc. and iGATE Clinical Research International Private Limited collectively “iCRI”) and the corporate shared service division of the Company.

On July 31, 2008, the Company sold its clinical research business. Additionally, pursuant to an enterprise reorganization, the Company assigned the resources, including employees, relating to the corporate shared service division in the iSS segment to the iGS segment of its business. Also, as more fully explained in Note 2 of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, effective September 30, 2008, the Company spun off the iPS segment of its business into a newly formed company known as Mastech Holdings, Inc (“Mastech”).

As a consequence of the above mentioned events, currently the business of the Company is comprised solely of what was formerly known as the iGS segment, which is conducted through our wholly owned subsidiary, iGATE Global Solutions Limited.

In April 2009, the FASB issued Staff Position No. FAS 107-1, “Interim Disclosures About Fair Value of Financial Instruments” (“FSP 107-1”). FSP 107-1 amends FASB Statement No. 107, Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments, to require disclosures about fair value of financial instruments for interim period of publicly traded companies as well as in annual financial statements. This FSP also amends APB Opinion No. 28, Interim Financial Reporting, to require those disclosures in summarized financials information at interim reporting periods. SFAS No. 107-1 becomes effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009 with early application permitted for period ending after March 15, 2009. The Company expects to adopt the standard effective with the June 30, 2009 quarter and it is currently evaluating the potential impact, if any, on its consolidated results of operations and financial condition.

In April 2009, the FASB issued Staff Position No. FAS 115-2, “Recognition and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments” (“FSP 115-2”). FSP 115-2 provides new guidance on the recognition of an Other-Than-Temporary-Impairments (OTTI) and provides some new disclosure requirements. SFAS No. 115-2 becomes effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009 with early application permitted for period ending after March 15, 2009. The Company expects to adopt the standard effective with the June 30, 2009 quarter and it is currently evaluating the potential impact, if any, on its consolidated results of operations and financial condition.

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.
