NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

JUNE 30, 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 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 and six months ended June 30, 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 $54 and $26,796 were reclassified from investing activities to financing activities in the consolidated statement of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 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 included a 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.

iGS has set up two units under the Special Economic Zones (“SEZ”) at Chennai and Hyderabad which commenced operations during this quarter. Under the Indian Income Tax Act, 1961, iGS is eligible to claim income tax holiday of 100% for the initial five consecutive assessment years followed by 50% for the subsequent ten consecutive assessment years on the profits derived from the export of software services from the divisions registered under the SEZ at Chennai and Hyderabad.

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.

Earnings per share for the common stock and unvested restricted stock under the two class method is presented below (dollars in thousands, except share and per share data):

Distributed earnings per share have been restricted to the amount of net income for the quarter ended March 31, 2009. In respect of the six months ended June 30, 2009, there was no such restriction on the distributed earnings per share.

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 income (loss) 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 documents all relationships between hedging instruments 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 a 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.

Level 3 — Unobservable inputs which are supported by little or no market activity.

 

90


iGATE CORPORATION

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (CONTINUED)

JUNE 30, 2009 AND 2008

(Amounts in thousands)

 

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, short term investments and foreign currency derivative contracts at fair value. Cash equivalents and short term investments are primarily classified within Level 1 or Level 2. This is because the cash equivalents and short term investments 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 157-2”). 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 FSP FAS 157-2 for non-financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis at January 1, 2009 and will continue to apply its provisions prospectively. In April 2009, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position 157-4, Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset and Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly (“FSP FAS 157-4”). FSP FAS 157-4 amends FASB Statement No. 157, Fair Value Measurements to provide additional guidance on estimating fair value when the volume and level of transaction activity for an asset or liability have significantly decreased in relation to normal market activity for the asset or liability. The FSP also provides additional guidance on circumstances that may indicate that a transaction is not orderly. FSP FAS 157-4 supersedes FASB Staff Position No. FAS 157-3, Determining the Fair Value of a Financial Asset When the Market for That Asset is Not Active. The application of FSP FAS 157-2 and FSP FAS 157-4 did not have a significant impact on earnings or the financial position for the six months ended June 30, 2009.

9. Employee Benefits

Defined Contribution Plan

The Company’s eligible employees in India participate in the Employees’ Provident Fund (the “Provident Fund”), which is a defined contribution plan. The employee and the Company make monthly contributions of a specified percentage of salary to the Provident Fund, which is administered by the prescribed authority in India. The aggregate contributions along with interest thereon are paid at retirement, death, incapacitation or termination of employment. The Company’s contribution to the Provident Fund for the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 was $0.4 million and $0.5 million, respectively. The Company’s contribution for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 it was $0.9 million and $1.0 million, respectively.

401(k) Plan

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’s 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.

Critical Accounting Policies

Our critical accounting polices are described in the summary of significant accounting policies as discussed in Note 1 of the consolidated financial statements of our Form 8-K.

Results of Operations from Operations for the Three Months Ended June 30, 2009 as Compared to the Three Months Ended June 30, 2008:

Revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2009 were $46.8 million, a decrease of $9.4 million, or 16.7%, as compared to $56.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 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 80% and 70% of the revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2009 and June 30, 2008, respectively.

The gross margin as a percentage of sales (“gross margin percentage”) was 38.2% for the three months ended June 30, 2009, as compared to 35.3% for the three months ended June 30, 2008. The increase in gross margin percentage was primarily on account of increase in utilization rates and strengthening of the US Dollar against other currencies.

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 June 30, 2009 were $8.9 million or 18.9% of revenues, as compared to $10.3 million or 18.4% of revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2008. Our net employee cost decreased by $2.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009, as compared to three months ended June 30, 2008, mainly due to a decrease in variable pay, reduction of support headcount from 525 to 483, recruitment, travel and related costs. Our net corporate cost increased by $0.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009 due to increase in provision for doubtful debts and legal costs, offset by the decrease in marketing, accounting, insurance and administrative charges. Our net facilities costs increased by $0.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009, mainly due to increase in rental and communication related expenses. The decrease in S,G&A cost includes favorable impact of strengthening of US Dollar against other currencies amounting to $0.9 million.

Depreciation and amortization costs for the three months ended June 30, 2009 were $1.9 million or 4.0% of revenues, as compared to $2.4 million or 4.3% of revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2008.

Operating income was 15.3% of revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 12.6% of revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2008. This increase was due primarily to the decrease in S,G&A costs and increased gross margin.

Other (Expense) Income Components

Other (expense) income, net for the three months ended June 30, 2009, totaled $ (1.0) million, compared to $0.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2008.

During the three months ended June 30, 2009, our net investment income totaled $0.9 million as compared to $0.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2008. The increase was due to an increase in cash and cash equivalents from $19.6 million in June 30, 2008 to $24.3 million in June 30, 2009 and a consequential increase in investable funds. The increase in cash was mainly due to the cash flow from operating activity which offset the payment of our first annual dividend and investment in new properties. For the three months ended June 30, 2009, we recognized $2.0 million of foreign currency loss in our income statement as compared to a gain of $0.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2008. These are primarily due to loss on settlement of foreign currency derivative contracts amounting to $2.5 million, offset by $0.5 million gain on account of remeasurement of foreign currency monetary items. As of June 30, 2009, all the outstanding forward contracts met the qualifying criteria to apply hedge accounting.

Income Taxes

Federal income taxes, calculated at the U.S. statutory rate, totaled $2.1 million and $2.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. State income taxes, which totaled $0.03 million and $nil for the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively, were calculated using a blended statutory rate, and are net of federal income tax benefit. Our income tax provision was $0.13 million at an effective rate of 2.0% for the three months ended June 30, 2009. Our income tax provision was $0.48 million at an effective rate of 6.0% for the three months ended June 30, 2008.

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 the tax holiday has expired. The tax holiday and foreign taxes have resulted in a benefit of $2.2 million and $2.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

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 $0.18 million and ($0.11) million for the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

Results of Operations from Operations for the Six Months Ended June 30, 2009 as Compared to the Six Months Ended June 30, 2008:

Revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2009 were $91.6 million, a decrease of $20.2 million, or 18.1%, as compared to $111.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008. Our revenue decrease for the period 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 80% and 68% of the revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and June 30, 2008, respectively.

The gross margin as a percentage of sales (“gross margin percentage”) was 37.1% for the six months ended June 30, 2009, as compared to 35.9% for the six months ended June 30, 2008. The increase in gross margin percentage was primarily on account of increase in utilization rate and strengthening of the US Dollar against other currencies.
