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, 2007 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, 2008 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, 2007.

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.

Reclassifications

Certain amounts in the previous period’s financial statements and notes were reclassified to conform to the current period’s presentations.

2. Discontinued Operations

On April 16, 2008, the Company executed an agreement to sell iGATE Clinical Research International Inc. and iGATE Clinical Research International Private Limited (collectively “iCRI”) for cash consideration of $ 3.8 million. As on June 30, 2008, the sale of the iCRI business has not been concluded pending certain regulatory approvals. In accordance with the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets ”, the proposed sale of iCRI meets the criteria for a qualifying plan of sale or disposal. The assets and liabilities of iCRI have been classified as “held for sale” on the accompanying balance sheets and its operations have been recorded as discontinued operations. Cash flows of iCRI have also been segregated in the consolidated statement of cash flows as separate line items within operating, investing and financing activities.

On February 26, 2008, the Company announced that it plans to divest the Professional Services (“iPS”) segment of its business, either through a spin-off to iGATE shareholders or a sale to a third party. The Company has determined that the spin-off of iPS is the likely scenario. In accordance with SFAS No. 144, the results of operations of the iPS segment will continue to be reported as part of continuing operations until the period in which the spin-off is completed.

In continuation of the delisting of the Company’s majority owned subsidiary, iGATE Global Solutions (“iGS”) from the Indian stock exchanges, the Company increased its ownership in iGS to 98.67% as of June 30, 2008 from 93.45% as of December 31, 2007 at a cost of $18.4 million. The Company is currently in the process of acquiring the remaining outstanding minority shares. The delisting process began in 2007 and the total cost of acquisition of shares through June 30, 2008 is $64.6 million, including $4.5 million payable to the remaining shareholders and included in other current liabilities. The total estimated cost of acquisition has been preliminarily allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on a determination of their value. The following table summarizes the allocation.

Under the Indian Income Tax Act, 1961, iGS is eligible to claim a tax holiday for 10 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. The tax holiday for one of the units in Chennai expired with effect from April 1, 2008. For the three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 the tax holiday resulted in benefits of $3.0 million and $0.7 million, respectively, when calculated at the statutory U.S. rate. For the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 the corresponding benefits were $5.3 million and $2.2 million, respectively. On May 10, 2008, the finance bill of India was passed whereby the tax holiday period was extended for one more year through March 31, 2010. The extension of the holiday period did not have a material effect on the net deferred tax assets recognized by the Company. On certain of the units, the benefits of the holiday expired in 2005. The majority of the remaining benefits will extend through March 31, 2010.

In accordance with FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an interpretation of FASB Statement 109” (“FIN 48”) as of December 31, 2007, the Company carried a liability for $1.0 million towards tax obligations related to various federal and state income tax matters. The total unrecognized tax benefits as of December 31, 2007 were $1.7 million. If this unrecognized tax benefit is recognized, the effective tax rate of the Company would be significantly lower for the period in which it will be recognized. As of June 30, 2008, no material changes have occurred in the Company’s uncertain tax positions.

5. Earnings Per Share

The Company computes earnings per share in accordance with SFAS No. 128, “ Earnings Per Share”. Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share adjusts basic earnings per share for the effects of stock options, restricted common stock and other potentially dilutive financial instruments, only in the periods in which the effects are dilutive. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, the weighted average number of shares used in calculating diluted earnings per share includes stock options and restricted common shares.

The following table sets forth the computation of earnings per share:


	Three Months Ended June 30,						Six Months Ended June 30,
	2008			2007			2008			2007
*Numerator:*
Net income from continuing operations	$	8,545		$	2,305		$	15,943		$	6,914
Net (loss) from discontinued operations		(137	)		(233	)		(127	)		(515	)

Net income from operations	$	8,408		$	2,072		$	15,816		$	6,399

*Denominator:*
Basic weighted average common shares		53,774			53,178			53,717			53,125
Dilutive effect of stock options and restricted shares outstanding		1,585			576			1,537			579

Diluted weighted average common shares		55,359			53,754			55,254			53,704

Foreign currency translation		(9,051	)		3,781		(11,000	)		5,163

Comprehensive (loss) income	$	(7,032	)	$	5,853	$	(3,541	)	$	11,562

As of June 30, 2008, the Company’s forward and option contracts to hedge foreign currency cash flows will mature by April 30, 2010. As each contract matures, the Company will receive Rupees at the contracted (“strike price”) rate while delivering either the U.S. Dollar (“USD”) or Canadian Dollar (“CAD”) or Sterling Pound (“GBP”) equivalent of Rupees at the prevailing Rupee exchange rate. Contracts that meet qualifying criteria are accounted for as foreign currency cash flow hedges. 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”.

As of June 30, 2007, the Company’s outstanding derivative instruments were not designated as qualifying hedge and accordingly, the unrealized gain on such instruments of $0.3 million was recorded in the results of operations.

7. Fair Value Measurements

Effective January 1, 2008, the Company adopted SFAS 157, “ Fair Value Measurements ” except as it applies to the non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities subject to Financial Staff Positions (“FSP”) FAS 157-2, “Effective Date of FASB Statement No.157” (“FSP FAS 157-2”). SFAS No.157 clarifies that fair value is an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or a liability. As a basis for considering such assumptions, SFAS 157 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.

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

11

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 inactive markets. Assets and liabilities measured at fair value are summarized below:

FSP FAS 157-2, issued in February 2008, defers the effective date of SFAS No. 157 for all nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities, except those that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis (at least annually) to fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years for items within the scope of this FSP. FSP FAS 157-2 is effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2009. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of SFAS No. 157 on non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities, but does not expect the adoption of SFAS No. 157 to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Effective January 1, 2008, the Company also adopted SFAS 159, “ The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities—including an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 115 ”, which allows an entity to choose to measure certain financial instruments and liabilities at fair value on a contract-by-contract basis. Subsequent fair value measurement for the financial instruments and liabilities an entity chooses to measure will be recognized in earnings. As of June 30, 2008, the Company did not elect such an option for the financial instruments and liabilities.

8. Employee Benefits

Defined Contribution Plan

iGS 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 administered by the prescribed authority in India. The aggregate

12

contributions along with interest thereon are paid at retirement, death, incapacitation or termination of employment after a specified period of service. The Company’s contribution to the Provident Fund for the three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 was $0.5 million and $0.5 million, respectively and for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 it was $1.0 million and $0.9 million, respectively.

Defined Benefit Plan

iGS provides for gratuity, a defined benefit retirement plan covering eligible employees in India.

In May 2007, the Indian Government extended its Fringe Benefit Tax (“FBT”) to include stock options and restricted stock awards issued to employees in India. A notification dated December 20, 2007 issued by the Government of India clarified that FBT on stock options is applicable to all companies issuing stock options to employees in India, including those companies not registered under the Companies Act, 1956 of India. Under the new legislation, on exercise of an option, employers are responsible for a tax equal to the intrinsic value of an option at its vesting date multiplied by the applicable tax rate. The employer can seek reimbursement of the tax from the employee but cannot transfer the obligation to the employee. The Company recovers the FBT from certain employee option and award holders.

The FBT on options and awards payable to the Government of India is recorded as an operating expense and the recovery of the FBT on options from the employees is treated as additional exercise price and recorded in shareholders’ equity. The fair value of options and restricted stock awards issued subsequent to the introduction of the FBT is determined after considering the FBT as an additional component of the exercise price at the grant date.

Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended June 30, 2008 as Compared to the Three Months Ended June 30, 2007:

iGATE Solutions (“iGS’)

Revenues of iGS for the three months ended June 30, 2008 were $55.6 million, an increase of $ 7.0 million, or 14.5%, as compared to $ 48.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007. Our revenue increase for the periods presented is directly attributable to a combination of new customer wins which contributed an increase of $2.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2008, and $4.9 million from the increased business with our recurring customers. There is an increase in billable headcount from 5,376 as of June 30, 2007 to 5,875 as of June 30, 2008. This increase in billable headcount directly resulted in increased billable hours and a corresponding increase in revenue. The top 10 customers accounted for 73%, and 69% of the revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2008 and June 30, 2007, respectively.

The gross margin as a percentage of sales (“gross margin percentage”) for iGS was 35.7% for the three months ended June 30, 2008, as compared to 31.2% for the three months ended June 30, 2007. The increase in gross margin percentage was largely attributable to an increase in realized rates for offshore and onsite work and improved utilization. The average onsite and offshore rates improved by 6.1% and 2.2, respectively, in the three months ended June 30, 2008 over the three months ended June 30, 2007. Utilization over the second quarter in 2008 also increased from 75% to 76% as compared to the second quarter of 2007.

22

Selling, general and administrative expenses (“S,G&A”) include all costs that are not directly associated with iGS’s revenue generating activities. SG&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, 2008 were $9 million or 16.3% of revenues, as compared to $9.5 million or 19.5% of revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2007. Our net employee cost increased approximately $0.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2008, as compared to three months ended June 30, 2007, due to annual salary revision in April 2008, increase in support headcount from 489 to 527 and other increases in travel and related costs. Our net corporate cost decreased approximately $0.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2008 due to recovery of previously provided debt and a decrease in marketing, legal, accounting and administrative charges. Our net facilities costs decreased by $0.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2008, mainly due to decrease in rental and communication related expenses.

Depreciation and amortization costs for the three months ended June 30, 2008 were $2.7 million or 4.8% of revenues, as compared to $2.6 million or 5.3% of revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2007.

In, June 2007, we recorded a goodwill impairment charge of approximately $1.9 million, related to our July 2006 acquisition of LoanPro. This impairment charge was not considered as part of our discussion of iGS’s SG&A cost and was recorded on a separate line item on our Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Operating income was 14.6% of revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2.3% of revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2007. This increase was due primarily to the increases in gross margin by 4.5% and reduction in SG&A costs as a percentage of revenue by 7.8 %.

iGATE Professional Services (“iPS”)

Revenues for iPS for the three months ended June 30, 2008 were $24.4 million, a decrease of $2.6 million or 9.7% as compared to $27.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007. The decrease was due to overall declines in demand for our staffing services in the financial services sector. The top 10 customers accounted for 64.8%, and 61.2% of the revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2008 and June 30, 2007, respectively.

Gross margin percentage for iPS was 19.5% for the three months ended June 30, 2008, as compared to 22.1% for the three months ended June 30, 2007. The decrease in gross margin is mainly associated with consultant wage increase outpacing bill rate increases and lower utilization levels during the 2008 period.

S,G&A expenses include all costs that are not directly associated with our iPS segment’s revenue generating consultants. S,G&A expenses include employee costs, corporate costs and facilities costs. Employee costs includes sales, recruiting and administrative salaries, bonuses, commissions and related employee benefits, travel, and H1-B processing costs. Corporate costs include items such as legal, marketing and outside services. Facilities costs include rent and communications costs.

S,G&A costs for the three months ended June 30, 2008 were $3 million or 12.3% of revenues, as compared to $3.6 million or 13.2% of revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2007. This $0.6 million decline in S,G&A expenses for the three months ended June 30,2008, reflected lower employee costs, primarily related to bonuses, commissions and H1-B processing fees. Net corporate and facilities costs remained consistent for the periods presented.

Depreciation and amortization costs for the three months ended June 30, 2008 were $0.1 million or 0.3% of revenues, as compared to $0.1 million or 0.3% of revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2007.

With the proposed sale of the iCRI business (Refer Note 2 to the condensed consolidated financial statements), the operating segment of the iCRI business has been classified as discontinued operations. Consequently, this segment includes only corporate and unallocated costs.

S,G&A costs were $1.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2008, as compared to $2.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007.

Our net corporate cost decreased by $0.3 million due to decrease in our accounting and related fees. Facilities costs remained consistent for the periods presented.

Other Income (Expense) Components

Other income, net for the three months ended June 30, 2008, totaled $0.9 million, compared to $2.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007.

During the three months ended June 30, 2008, our net investment income totaled $0.6 million as compared to $1.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007. The decrease was due to a decrease in cash and cash equivalents from $50.0 million in June 30, 2007 to $28.0 million in June 30, 2008 and a consequential decrease in investible funds. The decrease in cash was mainly due to the purchase of shares from minority shareholders in iGS. For the three months ended June 30, 2008, we recognized $0.3 million of foreign currency gains in our income statement as compared to a gain of $1.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007. These are primarily due to movements of foreign currency rates. As of June 30, 2008 all the outstanding forward contracts met the qualifying criteria to receive hedge accounting. As of June 30, 2007 we took an investment write off for $0.6 million.

Minority interest expense was $0.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2008 and relates to the minority interest portion of the income of iGS. Minority interest expense was $0.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007 also related to the income of iGS. This has reduced due to the change in the minority ownership in iGS to 1.3% as of June 30, 2008 from 18.8% as of June 30, 2007.

Income Taxes

Federal income taxes, calculated at the U.S. statutory rate, totaled $3.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2008. State income taxes, which totaled $0.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2008, were calculated using a blended statutory rate, and are net of federal income tax benefit. Our income tax provision was $0.8 million at an effective rate of 8.3% for the three months ended June 30, 2008.

24

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. The tax holiday resulted in a benefit of $3.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2008. iGS’s non-operating income, such as interest income, is not included in the tax holiday and has been considered as part of our income tax provision.

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 and executive compensation are limited for income tax purposes. Other expenses such as minority interest expense are not deductible at all. The impact of the limited or disallowed items discussed above was $0.4 million.

iGATE Solutions (“iGS’)

Revenues of iGS for the six months ended June 30, 2008 were $110.5 million, an increase of $14.0 million or 14.6% as compared to $96.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007. Our revenue increase for the periods presented is directly attributable to a combination of new customer wins which contributed an increase of $3.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008, and $10.6 million from the increased business with our recurring customers. There is an increase in billable headcount from 5,376 as of June 30, 2007 to 5,875 as of June 30, 2008. This increase in billable headcount directly resulted in increased billable hours and corresponding increase in revenue. The top 10 customers accounted for 72%, and 66% of the revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and June 30, 2007, respectively.

The gross margin as a percentage of sales (“gross margin percentage”) for iGS was 36.4% for the six months ended June 30, 2008, as compared to 31.6% for the six months ended June 30, 2007. The increase in gross margin percentage was largely attributable to an increase in realized rates for offshore and onsite work and improved utilization. The average onsite and offshore rates improved by 7.0% and 3.2% respectively, in the six months ended June 30, 2008 over the six months ended June 30, 2007. Utilization over the first half in 2008 also increased from 73.0% to 76.0% as compared to the first half of 2007.

Selling, general and administrative expenses (“S,G&A”) include all costs that are not directly associated with iGS’s revenue generating activities.

Our net employee cost increased approximately $1.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008, as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2007, due to annual salary revision in April 2008, increase in support headcount from 462 to 527 and other increases in travel and related costs. Our net corporate cost decreased approximately $0.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008 due to the decrease in marketing, bad debt and general corporate costs. Our net facilities costs increased by $0.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008, mainly due to an increase in maintenance of facilities due to enhanced capitalization in India.

Depreciation and amortization costs for the six months ended June 30, 2008 were $5.8 million or 5.3% of revenues, as compared to $5.1 million or 5.3% of revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2007.

Operating income was 13.4% of revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 5.6% of revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2007. This increase was due primarily to the increase in gross margin by 4.8% and decrease in SG&A costs as percentage of revenue by 3.0%.

The decrease was due to overall declines in demand for our staffing services in the financial services sector. The top 10 customers accounted for 63.8%, and 62.7% of the revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and June 30, 2007, respectively.

Gross margin percentage for iPS was 19.7% for the six months ended June 30, 2008, as compared to 22.3% for the six months ended June 30, 2007.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash from Operations

Cash provided by operations was $23.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008. Factors contributing to our cash provided by operations were net income of $15.9 million for the period offset by an increase in accounts receivable of $11.0 million. The increase in accounts receivable is due to an increase in sales and increase in days of sales outstanding from 61 days as on December 31, 2007 to 67 days as on June 30, 2008. The decrease in other significant working capital includes an increase of $10.0 million in accrued and other liabilities on account of movement in deferred tax, and mark to market losses on effective hedging and decrease in prepaid assets for $4.6 million. This inflow was mainly offset by a decrease in restructuring reserve of $0.5 million, realized gain on investment of $1.3 million. During the period, significant non cash items totaled $8.3 million and included depreciation and amortization cost of $6.0 million and stock based compensation expense of $2.3million.

Inflation

We do not believe that inflation had a significant impact on our results of operations for the periods presented. On an ongoing basis, we attempt to minimize any effects of inflation on our operating results by controlling operating costs and whenever possible, seeking to insure that billing rates reflect increases in costs due to inflation.

For all significant foreign operations, the functional currency is the local currency. Assets and liabilities of these operations are translated at the exchange rate in effect at each period end. Statement of Operations accounts are translated at the average exchange rate prevailing each month. Translation adjustments arising from the use of differing exchange rates from period to period are included as a component of other comprehensive income.

Seasonality

Our operations are generally not affected by seasonal fluctuations. However, our consultants’ billable hours are affected by national holidays and vacation policies, which vary by country and by operating company.

Economic Trends and Outlook

We believe that the IT and business process outsourcing (“BPO”) industries in India are in their infancy, and that significant revenue and profit growth opportunities remain ahead of us. The global market for IT services and BPO services is estimated to be more than $1 trillion by 2010. McKinsey & Company and the National Association of Software and Services Companies, an Indian industry group, have estimated that just 10% of the global market for the types of IT and BPO services we offer has been penetrated. Our long-term goal is to be a significant player in the offshore services industry with a healthy core business in IT and IT enabled offshore operations outsourcing solutions and services supplemented with higher-growth specialty practices such as iTOPS and in areas such as insurance and mortgage services, finance and accounting, enterprise solutions, infrastructure management, data management and software testing.

Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that these disclosure controls and procedures are effective. There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the six months ended June 30, 2008 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
