                                                                  Mahatma Gandhi

                                                                       [GRAPHIC]

          History is replete with instances of technological
             breakthroughs that have forever altered the course of
          humanity. The digital revolution has brought about
                    unprecedented improvements in the price-performance equation
              for both information storage and processing power. The
                explosion of the Internet has revolutionized information
       availability and exchange, and has also spurred
           extraordinary innovations in business processes and
         commerce. Today, physical boundaries are becoming
               increasingly irrelevant and information technology is a
              boardroom imperative in corporations across the globe.
                   Enhanced communication capabilities, ubiquitous information
              access, and real-time decision-making have contributed
             immensely to the rise of organizations that transcend
         national boundaries. We, at Infosys, believe that
             technological developments in the areas of enterprise
            solutions, embedded software, optical networking and
                  convergence will continue to radically impact every one of
                    us. These developments will spur new ways of doing business,
                  help companies increase their focus on consumer needs, and
                  facilitate innovations in the form of hi-tech products and
                 services. This year, we bring you a collection of some of
             our projects that showcase the impact of leading-edge
technologies on business.

                                   "If a man does his best, what else is there?"

                                                        General George S. Patton
                                                                   (1885 - 1945)

Our people work hard designing, developing and implementing high-quality        
solutions for our clients. Their focus on customer satisfaction is evident in   
the high repeat business we continue to secure. Further, internal functions play
a critical role - both in managing the challenges of growth and in supporting   
the line functions. On the job, Infoscions maintain an unwavering eye on        
creating value for the various stakeholders of the company, while demonstrating 
energy, fairness and professionalism in all transactions.                       

As Infosys grows to nearly 10,000 people, the process of identifying high-      
performers, who made valuable contributions to Infosys during the year, emerged 
as a tough and challenging task. A task made even more difficult by the number  
of high achievers we came across in the different departments in our            
organization - each one motivated by the vision that we have set ourselves; to  
be a globally respected software corporation providing best-in-class business   
solutions, employing best-of-breed professionals.                               

The people finally selected are those who qualified on a variety of factors that
impacted their external and internal customers in a positive manner, thus       
leading to substantial benefits to Infosys. These factors include: delivering in
challenging circumstances; reacting nimbly to change; rapidly assimilating new  
knowledge and using it in new, unstructured situations; making significant      
contributions to the knowledge base of the organization; successfully leading   
and motivating team members by setting an example; and adhering to the highest  
norms of values and personal integrity.                                         

We are proud to announce the winners of this year's Awards for excellence.

Letter to Shareholders                                                          
________________________________________________________________________________

Dear shareholders:                                                              

We are delighted to report on our performance in fiscal 2001. Under Indian GAAP,
revenues grew by 113% over FY2000 while net profits from ordinary activities    
witnessed an increase of 118%. As transformation partners to Fortune 500 and    
other established corporations, we continued to focus on building long-term     
relationships, reflected in our repeat business rate of 85%. We added 4,442     
employees, net of separations, and signed up 122 new clients during the year.   

Recent months have witnessed unprecedented turbulence in the technology sector  
in the US, which in turn has contributed to a slowdown in the overall economy.  
Technology sector valuations have dropped; revenue shortfalls, profit warnings  
and layoffs have become commonplace; most dot-coms are on the way to accelerated
oblivion; and the urgency for large corporations to adopt new initiatives has   
declined.                                                                       

IT budgets are now subject to careful consideration. Companies now seek to      
maximize the return on their IT investments and therefore focus on short-       
gestation projects that promise predictable, substantial payoffs. As the me-too 
approach to new technology experimentation fades out, CIOs increasingly focus on
consolidation, integration and convergence imperatives, rather than on radical  
advances in technology infrastructure. There is an unmistakable shift towards   
value-for-money and, as a result, towards longer decision-making cycle times.   

Clearly, these are challenging times for an IT services company. As self-       
preservation and prudence descend on US industry, the near-term demand outlook  
for IT services is not as rosy as in the boom years. The immediate future is    
therefore uncertain - which is the key reason for our FY2002 estimates of 30%   
growth in revenues over the year.                                               

Our estimates are based on our current understanding of the marketplace. We     
continue to be in close contact with our clients and have factored in our growth
expectations from both existing and new clients. We believe that increasing     
billing rates will be a challenge in the current environment and expect the     
majority of our FY2002 growth to come from increasing business volumes.         

Nevertheless, we continue to be fully prepared to tap into additional business  
opportunities that may arise and intend to have all the ingredients of growth in
place - infrastructure, people, processes and systems. Consequently, we         
anticipate $ 80 million in capital expenditure, and intend to add between 1,500 
and 2,000 people to our workforce during FY2002.                                

Indeed, it is during times like these that industries undergo profound          
transformations. The IT services sector has begun to witness an unprecedented   
flight to quality. Customers, investors and employees will gravitate towards    
companies that have committed high-quality management teams, deep client        
relationships, an impeccable track record of customer satisfaction, a de-risked 
business model, high financial discipline, a strong value system and, above all,
the ability to manage change.                                                   

Our medium-term outlook for IT services continues to be positive. We believe    
that large corporations are still in the early stages of their e-business build-
out and will face huge integration and enhancement imperatives with their       
existing systems. Further, despite the current venture funding environment, we  
believe that select high-quality ventures will continue to push the technology  
envelope and will need strong IT partnerships to achieve their vision.          

Further, we strongly believe that, at the end of the ongoing turbulence, India  
will emerge stronger than ever as a preferred destination for IT outsourcing.   
With many US-based IT services players facing extinction, with value-for-money  
emerging as a key CIO imperative, and with the increasing recognition of the    
quality of its talent, India is all set to consolidate its position as a major  
force on the global IT services map. And Infosys, given its brand equity with   
Indian talent and its relationships with leading universities, continues to be  
the employer-of-choice for IT professionals.                                    

Infosys continues to focus on building strong relationships with large          
corporations, gaining an in-depth understanding of their decision cycles, and   
maintaining an impeccable record in customer satisfaction. Our addition of 37   
clients in Q4FY2001 was the highest ever in a quarter. Of the 122 clients added 
during the year, the majority were large corporations. Key wins included New    
York Life International, a leading life insurance firm; ABB Alstom, a global    
specialist in energy and transport infrastructure; Providian, the fifth-largest 
bankcard provider in the US; The Bank of Nova Scotia, a leading global financial

institution headquartered in Canada; Schlumberger, a leading international      
technical company; Dynegy, a leading provider of energy and communications      
solutions; Monsanto, a leading global provider of technology-based solutions and
agricultural products; Telenet, a premier telecommunications company in Belgium;
Vodafone Networks, a large UK-based mobile telecommunications company; Siemens  
Energy and Automation, a provider of complete electrical, engineering and       
automation solutions; and Swiss Re, one of the world's leading re-insurers. We  
also entered into strategic alliances with Microsoft, TIBCO, i2 Technologies and
Intel. Further, in order to garner expertise in high-potential technology areas,
we continued to work with high-quality venture-funded companies.                

During the year, we launched FINACLE(TM), an integrated core banking solution   
that leverages Internet technologies to drive the operations of a bank. The     
banking unit acquired 15 new clients - five out of the eight new private sector 
banks in India are now powered by FINACLE(TM). In one of the largest wins for   
banking software in India, we signed up Punjab National Bank for deployment of  
our banking platform across 1,500 branches.                                     

Two of Infosys' investee companies - EC Cubed, a US-based provider of B2B e-    
commerce solutions, and Alpha Thinx, a Vienna-based company operating in the    
wireless Internet space - filed for liquidation during the year. Due to capital 
market conditions, they were unable to secure funding for their growth plans. We
derived tremendous benefits from these partnerships and were able to leverage   
the expertise gained from them across our other clients. However, in line with  
our conservative reporting policies, pending the conclusion of liquidation      
proceedings, we have fully provided for these investments and for receivables   
from these clients in our income statement for the year.                        

We continued to expand our presence overseas and in India, adding approximately 
6,40,000 square feet in physical infrastructure space during the year. We       
operationalized proximity development centers in Croydon, a suburb of London;   
Lisle, a suburb of Chicago; Berkeley Heights, New Jersey; and Phoenix, Arizona  
and also expanded capacity at our global development center in Toronto. We      
established marketing offices in Hong Kong, Sydney, Phoenix, U.A.E., Argentina  
and Paris and inaugurated the Infosys City facility in Bangalore. In order to   
groom leaders of the future, we are setting up the Infosys Leadership Institute 
in Mysore, Karnataka with state-of-the-art training and hostel facilities.      

Strict financial discipline has always been a key imperative for Infosys. We    
continue to be debt-free, to have conservative budgeting and cost management    
processes, and, with $ 124 million in cash, to have a strong and healthy balance
sheet.                                                                          

Infosys was ranked No. 1 in a survey by Hewitt Associates and Business Today on 
the best companies to work for in India. The Far Eastern Economic Review rated  
Infosys as the No. 1 company in India in the Review 2000. Infosys became the    
first IT company to win the IMC Ramkrishna Bajaj National Quality Award and was 
also judged by Financial Technology Asia as the Best Regional Software House.   
For the sixth year in succession, we received the Silver Shield from the        
Institute of Chartered Accountants of India for the Best Presented Accounts,    
among the entries received from non-financial, private sector companies. The    
Asiamoney poll of financial analysts voted us the best in management among      
listed companies in India for the fifth time in a row. The BankAway product from
Infosys won the CSI-Wipro Award for the Best Packaged Application for the year  
2000.                                                                           

During the year, we inducted Prof. Jitendra Vir Singh, Vice Dean, International 
Academic Affairs at the Wharton School; Dr. Omkar Goswami, Chief Economist to   
the Confederation of Indian Industry; Senator Larry Pressler, Former Senator, US
Senate and presently Attorney and Senior Partner, O'Connor and Hannan LLP; Rama 
Bijapurkar, a well-known management consultant; and T. V. Mohandas Pai, Srinath 
Batni and Phaneesh Murthy, senior officers in the company, onto the board of    
directors. Also, during the year, S.M. Datta retired from the board of          
directors. During the year, V. Balakrishnan, Associate Vice President - Finance,
took up additional responsibilities as Company Secretary. On your behalf, we

Infosys - Technology at work                                                    
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

             You on the cutting edge of technology have already made yesterday's
                             impossibilities the commonplace realities of today.

                                                                   Ronald Reagan

Infosys presents a compilation of projects undertaken during the year that      
showcase our expertise in leading-edge technologies and its impact on our       
clients. These projects span various industries and extend from designing       
automobile seat systems to developing software for enabling next-generation     
optical networks.                                                               

A recurring theme across these projects is the role of Infosys as an end-to-end 
partner with active involvement from conceptualization to implementation.       
Further, these projects had strict time-to-market imperatives, requiring Infosys
to rapidly scale up its project team and use its Global Delivery Model to       
deliver within time and budget, while meeting the highest quality benchmarks.   

Infosys is partnering CiDRA in developing innovative optical networking products
that use device-level wavelength management software, thereby increasing network
effectiveness. The Johnson Controls project showcases Infosys' use of simulation
techniques and Finite Element Analysis to engineer state-of-the-art designs for 
automobile seats. Infosys implemented an end-to-end ERP solution for Toshiba and
is playing a vital role in Cisco's Voice over IP and optical networking projects
by developing critical software components and solutions.                       
We have attempted to convey complex technology ideas in simple terms. However,  
we request readers to note that it is difficult to convey such ideas without    
using some technical language.

Software for Optical Networking Products                                        
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

CiDRA Corporation, a high-technology manufacturing company based in the United  
States, designs, manufactures and markets networking and sensing products based 
on optical fiber technology. Infosys developed the firmware for key components  
of the Optical Channel Monitor (OCM), one of CiDRA's offerings for next-        
generation optical networks.                                                    

Infosys managed the entire software lifecycle, from architecture definition to  
implementation, for the 2-Phase Downhole Flowmeter. This device, a key component
of CiDRA's permanent remote sensing system, is designed to operate under a wide 
range of temperatures, and withstand compression of over 1000 atmospheres. A    
two-tier architecture was adopted using Microsoft's COM/DCOM technology to      
separate the process of delivery of results from the data acquisition systems.  
Further, facilities were provided for system administration, maintenance and    
data access over a local area network or a modem. Infosys developed embedded    
software for the Digital Signal Processor, incorporating statistical algorithms 
for automatic edge detection, to ensure robust detection of optical signals and 
dynamic rate computation. An Algorithm Manager was developed to control the     
allocation of computational resources, based on the theory of Directional       
Acyclic Graphs (DAG). A Fault Manager was also developed to enable self-health  
diagnosis and autonomous failure recovery.                                      

Next-generation optical networks                                                

Infosys is partnering with CiDRA to develop photonic products for bandwidth     
management in next-generation communication systems that will rapidly deploy and
distribute bandwidth to multiple points within the optical network. This        
increased provisioning complexity will require Reconfigurable Optical Network   
Elements (RONE) that have built-in intelligence through embedded software, and  
provide control closer to the physical layer. Self-aware, Smart Optical Network 
Elements (SONE), having intelligence in the physical layer, will reduce the     
complexity of the network software required to control and optimize the optical 
network.                                                                        

As part of its family of AgileWave(TM) products for next-generation             
communication systems, CiDRA is currently developing an OCM device. This is an  
optical spectral analyzer for Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing (DWDM)     
channel monitoring that uses precisely-tunable Bragg grating technology for     
improved channel resolution and optical signal-to-noise measurement. A Bragg    
grating has varying refractive index along the core of the optical fiber.       
Consequently, wavelength scanners based on this technology have better          
resolution and higher configurability as compared to contemporary technologies.

Infosys' contribution to the Optical Channel Monitor                            

The figure illustrates the basic design of the OCM device. Using an optical tap 
made on a telecommunications fiber, a small amount of light is passed through an
optical filter based on CiDRA's tunable filter technology. The output of the    
filter is detected by a photodiode that measures the signal power over the      
wavelength band sampled by the filter. The sampled value is further filtered by 
the Digital Signal Processor (DSP). Infosys developed an advanced deconvolution 
signal-processing algorithm to extract data from the photo detector. The        
firmware developed for the DSP handles signal processing for extracting data    
from the photodetector, and also performs real-time control for filter          
positioning.                                                                    

The filters are scanned using a design that provides highly accurate and fast   
filter positioning over many cycles. A precision feedback system allows accurate
measurement of the filter position in the wavelength domain. The filters are    
controlled using a dedicated processor. Infosys was involved in developing a    
real-time, closed-loop controller firmware to enable accurate sweep control of  
the filter. Separate coordinated processors are currently used to sample and    
filter optical power, and to control filter tuning. An independent host         
processor accepts user scan and setup commands, and displays the data acquired  
by the system. The calibration software developed for the host computer         
incorporated compensation techniques involving two-dimensional surface          
approximation techniques.                                                       

The cutting edge                                                                

Infosys' technical contributions to the OCM, together with its rapid development
and implementation of prototype embedded systems, has provided CiDRA with an    
important technical advantage in the demonstration of new product feasibility in
an industry that rewards innovation and speed-to-market.

Automotive Seating System Development                                           
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Johnson Controls Inc. (JCI) is a Fortune 500 multinational corporation involved 
in the design, development and manufacturing of automotive seating and interior 
systems. JCI supplies these systems to automotive giants such as Ford, GM,      
Chrysler and Volvo. Using advanced techniques in mathematics, structural        
mechanics, Finite Element Analysis (FEA), iterative design, and simulation,     
Infosys has helped JCI reduce cost and cycle time in the design of automotive   
seats.                                                                          

Engineering seating system simulation                                           

In order to ensure occupant safety in road accidents, several countries, as well
as, supranational institutions have implemented regulations that prescribe      
stringent design specifications for seats and accessories.                      

The key technological challenge in this project was to simulate the crashing of 
a vehicle. The design cases for crash analysis include head-end and rear-end    
crashes against another moving or another stationary vehicle. Conventional      
finite element techniques, based on implicit methods, fall short of addressing  
such simulations, as the duration of the incident is typically less than one    
tenth of a second. The Infosys team established an FEA methodology and analysis 
process using the explicit time integration method, and performed the crash     
simulation and analysis using various third-party software tools.               

Infosys has implemented and simulated crash scenario models for various         
combinations of key components including passenger seat, dummy placement, safety
feature profile and crash loads. The most complex part of a crash simulation is 
the occupant modeling. Human dummy models representing the 95/th/ or 50/th/     
percentile of the specified country's population were modeled with high accuracy
using FEA. Each dummy profile requires specifications for more than 90          
components and 43 joints. The simulation takes into account factors such as     
material non-linearity, contacts, deformation and plastic strain profiles. It   
also includes safety-modeling features such as seat belts, retractors and pre-  
tensioners. The output of the simulation process includes crash performance     
metrics for the seating structure, components, mechanisms, driver safety and    
passenger safety.

The Infosys edge                                                                

Infosys partnered with JCI's UK division in the complete seating system design  
life-cycle, and brought its deep domain knowledge as well as its technology     
expertise to the process. This has resulted in improvements in seat design, and 
reductions in design cycle time. For instance, Infosys and the JCI Team designed
a seat-back structure concept in three weeks, as opposed to an industry average 
cycle time of three months.                                                     

Other key contributions of Infosys are:                                         

.  Playing a significant role in developing a new class of seating systems,   
compliant with European regulations, from concept to proof.               

 .  Developing critical mechanisms for new generation seating systems, such as a
 true flat-fold mechanism for tabletop, and a striker-bar mechanism for seat
   anchorage. One of the sub-systems developed by the Infosys-JCI team is in the
process of being patented.                                                

.  Re-engineering existing seating systems by adding new functionality and    
features.                                                                 

.  Rectifying problems concerning in-field seating systems, using Failure     
Investigation techniques based on FEA, and successfully redesigning these 
systems.                                                                  

Global delivery advantage                                                       

Infosys has established a dedicated offshore facility for JCI in Bangalore that 
has state-of-the-art software, such as LS-DYNA from Livermore Software          
Technology Corporation and MARC from MSC Software Corporation, and high-end     
multi-processor, number-crunching hardware, such as SGI Origin2200 and HP-J6000.
By segregating the product development environment into onsite and offshore     
components, Infosys has been able to effectively leverage the Global Delivery   
Model to deliver a high-quality, rapid-deployment solution to JCI.

Enterprising Initiatives                                                        
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Toshiba America Electronic Components Inc. is one of the largest suppliers of   
semiconductors, electronic components and storage devices. The Order Fulfillment
project is an end-to-end ERP implementation for Toshiba. Infosys completed the  
project in 18 months, as compared to an estimated time of 30 months by other    
vendors. This was accomplished by relying on our IntERPryz methodology for ERP  
implementation, deep domain expertise, and sound project management techniques. 

Toshiba wanted to revamp its business processes to reduce Order-to-Delivery     
lead-time, minimize inventory, increase customer service levels, and enhance    
supply chain visibility. Moreover, Toshiba's diverse existing systems, built on 
heterogeneous technology platforms, needed to be integrated. This was achieved  
by implementing a robust, scalable, flexible and highly configurable system.    

The Infosys edge                                                                

Infosys was involved in business process definition, program management, project
management, package evaluation, package implementation, key user training, and  
post-production support.                                                        

Infosys helped streamline Toshiba's supply chain by implementing and integrating
solutions in Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP), Supply Chain Management (SCM)  
and Warehouse Management System        (WMS) / Transportation Management System 
(TMS). Oracle Applications R11.0.3 was implemented to streamline manufacturing, 
distribution, procurement and financial accounting processes, and was integrated
with i2 Technologies' Demand Planner. A new enterprise WMS / TMS product from HK
Systems was evaluated and implemented for improving order-execution efficiency, 
outbound visibility, and reverse logistics. These applications run on Sun       
Solaris 2.6 and Windows NT platforms.                                           

An enterprise-wide data model was prepared for standardizing performance metrics
across the organization and streamlining Toshiba's internal processes. This     
involved gaining a deep understanding of the business processes, and            
implementing systems to extract and report these data.                          

Extending the ERP package                                                       

Infosys enhanced the functionalities offered by the chosen packages, by using   
its IntERPryz methodology for extending the ERP solution. More than 20 modules  
were designed, developed and fully integrated with the ERP package, thus,       
catering to the specific non-standard functionality requirements. These add-on  
applications are designed as plug-in modules.                                   

Infosys' contributions for the add-on applications include:                     

.  Developing a stock allocation system incorporating a rule-based algorithm  
that ensures seamless execution of Toshiba's customer support plan.       

.  Developing a distribution system for managing the sales channel through    
distributors, getting real-time visibility to the distributor's inventory,
and ensuring price protection.                                            

.  Building a sales commission system, which implements a multi-level split   
commission policy, along with, the engineering design tracking for        
prototypes.                                                               

EX-13.1 17th Page of 205 TOC 1st Previous Next ↓Bottom Just 17th
 .  Creating an Early Shipping Advance (ESA) system to manage the inbound supply
 chain visibility, starting from the factory production and warehouse to the
   shipment's arrival at US ports, and then cross-docking or re-routing directly
to the customers.                                                         

High performance solution                                                       

A high degree of fault tolerance, in hardware and software, was achieved by a   
three-tier solution. Cisco's Load Director was used for optimal load balancing. 
A parallel concurrent processing architecture, having multiple concurrent       
managers, running in separate servers, was able to process a large number of    
jobs simultaneously, to enhance throughput for batch jobs. Further, 24-hour     
availability was ensured by having alternate managers execute jobs in the course
of failure of any manager. Finally, an elaborate database sizing exercise       
ensured optimal performance at the database level.

Cisco Systems Inc., a California-based company, is a leader in networking and   
Internet backbone products such as routers and switches. Infosys has been chosen
as a strategic Cisco partner by the company's Global Partner Engineering (GPE)  
group, and has played a vital role in the development and support of the Cisco  
Call Manager (CCM), encompassing areas of test automation, stress testing,      
conference control, and alarm configuration. Infosys has delivered critical     
products on schedule by leveraging its expertise in the Voice over IP (VoIP)    
domain. Infosys' domain knowledge in VoIP includes areas such as architecture   
for IP PBX, call processing features, gateways, routers, IP phone services      
protocols, routing protocols, and open telephony standards.                     

Call Manager                                                                    

The CCM is the software-based call-processing component of the Cisco IP         
Telephony solution, and is a part of the Cisco Architecture for Voice, Video and
Integrated Data (AVVID). The CCM extends enterprise telephony features and      
functions to packet telephony network devices such as IP phones, media          
processing devices, VoIP gateways, and multimedia applications. An IP network   
consisting of the CCM, IP phones, gateways and applications provides a          
distributed virtual telephony network.

Infosys' contribution                                                           

Infosys played a vital role in the CCM effort by developing a number of tools   
and utilities for stress-testing and simulation. Key contributions include:     

.  Developing a Stress-testing and Performance Management tool - a highly-    
 configurable, real-time application for simulating heavy load scenarios for
device registration, call processing (with / without voice streaming) and 
redundancy support. This tool enables the simulation of a network of over 
1000 IP phones on a single PC. Multiple servers can be used to scale-up to
simulate any number of phones for stress testing.                         

EX-13.1 19th Page of 205 TOC 1st Previous Next ↓Bottom Just 19th
.  Developing a Media Gateway Control Protocol (MGCP) simulator - a tool for  
setting up a large number of MGCP gateways and load-testing the CCM. It   
emulates gateway behavior during registration to the CCM, and during      
switchover and switchback of the CCMs in a cluster setup. A TCP setup has 
been provided for handling Q931 messages that, in turn, can be used in the
future to stress-test such messages between the CCM and the gateways.     
   Currently, each installation supports 50 gateways, with an option to scale up
by having multiple installations. A command line interface test- scripting
facility has been provided for test automation.                           

 .  Building a Script Automation tool for simulating features of IP phones. This
application can handle all the messages from IP phones to PBX (a subset of
H323).                                                                    

 .  Architecting a web-based and cross-platform-compatible Billing and Reporting
product for IP PBX. This has been rolled out as a plug-in to the CCM. It  
records and classifies the call type, as well as, the Quality of Service  
 (QoS). It also applies rating parameters, and provides information on calls
made by users, billing, Quality of Service, traffic statistics and device 
utilization. Further, it provides a Lightweight Directory Access Protocol 
(LDAP) interface for enterprise information stored in different directory 
   servers. Among other places, the product is deployed in a space ship launched
by NASA.                                                                  

Optical networking                                                              

Infosys has played a key role in the Operations Systems Modifications for the   
Integration of Network Elements (OSMINE) certification for the ONS 15454        
product. This required defining a TL1 interface by implementing hundreds of new 
commands and correcting the behavior of existing commands. Faced with a timeline
of three months, Infosys demonstrated its ability to understand complex system  
architectures rapidly.  Infosys has implemented a large number of new commands  
in areas such as protection switching, performance monitoring and test access,  
thereby improving the quality of the software.

During the year, the company transferred its intellectual property rights in

known as Onscan Inc.). The product was transferred for a gross consideration of 
Rs. 8.93 crore (US$ 2 million), received in the form of preferred voting and    
non-voting securities of OnMobile Systems Inc. The income from the transfer of  
Rs. 5.49 crore (net of tax) is disclosed as an extraordinary item.

Increase in share capital                                                       

Your company issued 7,417 shares on the exercise of stock options, issued under 
the 1998 and 1999 employee stock option plans. Due to this, the outstanding     
issued, subscribed and paid-up equity share capital increased from 6,61,50,700  
shares, during the previous year, to 6,61,58,117 shares in the year under       
review.

Your company demonstrated all-round growth during the year. Under Indian GAAP,  
revenues grew by 113% over FY2000 while net profits from ordinary activities    
witnessed an increase of 118%. As transformation partners to Fortune 500        
corporations, your company continued to focus on building long-term             
relationships, reflected in its repeat business rate of 85%. Your company signed
up 122 new clients, the majority of whom were large corporations, and had a     
total client base of 273 at the end of the year. Further, your company had 80   
million-dollar clients, 19 five-million-dollar clients and 11 ten-million-dollar
clients as compared to 42, 10 and 4 in the previous year.                       

A sizeable proportion of your company's growth was driven by helping Fortune 500
and other established companies to embrace the new economy paradigm. The company
also worked with various venture-funded clients to garner expertise in niche    
technology areas, which was leveraged to provide high-technology solutions to   
larger corporations around the world. Revenues from start-up and venture-funded 
companies accounted for 10.8% of total revenues. The following table provides

Given recent conditions in the capital markets, your company intends to reduce  
its exposure to venture-funded companies, and to work even more selectively in  
this space.                                                                     

The year also saw your company scaling up on the human resources and            
infrastructure front. Net of separations, 4,442 employees were added, taking the
total strength to 9,831. Your company added another 6.4 lakh square feet of     
physical infrastructure space, taking the total space available to 16.7 lakh    
square feet. The total number of marketing offices increased to 25, up from 20  
in the previous year.                                                           

Your company's software export revenues aggregated Rs. 1,874.03 crore, up       
115.48% from Rs. 869.70 crore the previous year. During the year, 74.6% of the  
export revenues came from North America, 19.1% from Europe, and 6.3% from the   
rest of the world. The share of the fixed-price component of the business was   
28.2%, as compared to 31.5% during the previous year. Revenue productivity, in  
dollar terms, grew by 27.0%.                                                    

Several market studies published recently point to a slowdown in IT spending in 
the United States, which is a key market for your company. Your company is      
closely monitoring the market situation and believes that its unique business   
model and prudent risk-management practices, coupled with a strong customer base
and deep client relationships, give it a sustainable long-term competitive      
advantage. Your company will aggressively pursue new opportunities and will     
ensure adequate internal preparedness to take maximum advantage of such         
opportunities.                                                                  

Banking Business Unit (BBU)                                                     

With a 100% increase in revenues over the previous year, the Banking Business   
Unit demonstrated rapid growth. Your company launched FINACLE(TM), an integrated
core banking solution that is centralized, multi-currency and multi-language    
enabled, functionally rich, and addresses both retail and corporate banking     
requirements. Positioned as a core banking e-platform that brings about a       
paradigm shift in the way banking is conducted, FINACLE(TM) leverages Internet  
technologies to drive the operations of a bank.                                 

The Banking Business Unit has consolidated its position in the Indian and       
African markets, and has also expanded into the Middle East. During the year, it
acquired 15 new clients, 10 in India and 5 overseas, for FINACLE(TM), BankAway, 
and PayAway applications. In one of the largest wins for banking software in    
India, your company signed up Punjab National Bank for deployment of its banking
platform across 1500 branches. At present, five out of the eight new private    
sector banks in India are powered by FINACLE(TM). With this, your company has   
gained the highest market share amongst Indian banks offering Internet banking  
services.

To accelerate the sales effort in overseas markets, sales offices were opened in
Hong Kong, Sydney, Phoenix (Arizona), U.A.E., Argentina and Paris. During the   
coming year, additional sales offices are expected to be opened in North        
America, Europe and Asia. Expansion of the overseas sales network will help your
company access new markets and broaden its client base. As at the year-end, your
company had 21 marketing offices overseas.                                      

Incubator funding                                                               

Your company is in an industry that offers great opportunity for highly         
competent and entrepreneurial professionals with high aspirations. In keeping   
with its philosophy of encouraging budding entrepreneurs within the             
organization, your company has provided an incubation mechanism for them to     
launch their own ventures while continuing to derive benefits from a close      
association with Infosys. Your company incubated Yantra Corporation, a provider 
of e-fulfillment solutions, in fiscal 1996 and OnMobile Systems Inc.(formerly   
known as Onscan Inc.), a wireless solutions provider, in fiscal 2000.           

Yantra Corporation                                                              

Yantra Corporation provides e-business software solutions for managing supply   
chain transactions across the extraprise. During the year, Yantra installed a   
high-quality management team and intensified its sales effort to implement its  
growth objectives. Yantra also closed a $ 49 million venture funding round with 
participation from Morgan Stanley Dean Witter Private Equity, Amerindo,         
Broadvision, VerticalNet, Easter Chemical Company and other investors. Further, 
Yantra announced a strategic alliance with Accenture (formerly known as Andersen
Consulting) to provide supply chain solutions through PureEcommerce, a fully    
web-enabled application that manages, tracks and executes complex customer      
transactions across a company's extended supply chain. Infosys' economic        
interest in Yantra has come down to 15.8% (on a fully diluted basis). However,  
Yantra continues to be a subsidiary under the Companies Act, 1956 as the        
majority of the common stock is held by your company. The particulars of the    
subsidiary company required

OnMobile Systems Inc. (formerly known as Onscan Inc.) is a wireless solutions   
provider to enterprises and wireless carriers around the world. The company     
offers platforms, applications and professional services to deliver end-to-end  
wireless solutions. The company's solutions allow wireless carriers to provide  
innovative services to their customers and enable enterprises to deploy         
applications targeted towards their mobile workforce. During the year, your     
company transferred its intellectual property rights in Onscan, a web-enabled   
notification product, to OnMobile Systems Inc. The product was transferred for a
gross consideration of $ 2 million, received in the form of preferred voting and
preferred non-voting securities of OnMobile Systems Inc. Shortly thereafter,    
OnMobile Systems closed a $ 15 million venture funding round with participation 
from Argo Global Capital, H&Q Asia Pacific and other investors.                 

JASDIC                                                                          

JASDIC Park Company is an Indo-Japanese consortium founded by Mr. Kenichi Ohmae,
a well-known management strategist, along with a few Japanese companies and     
three Indian companies including your company. The aim of JASDIC is to provide  
high-quality software services from India to the Japanese market. This is in    
line with your company's strategy to diversify its geographic client base.      
Revenues from JASDIC grew by 59.3% over the previous year. Your company expects 
further growth in revenues from Japan through this venture.                     

Strategic investments                                                           

Your company had announced its intention to make selective investments in       
leading-edge companies that have the potential to yield substantial business    
benefits. Such investments were also envisaged in select venture capital funds. 
Benefits from these investments are primarily in the form of revenue and net    
income enhancements, through technology partnerships and access to the latest   
technological developments. Your company has leveraged the expertise derived    
from its investee companies to deliver value to large clients across the globe. 

During the year, EC Cubed Inc., a US-based provider of B2B e-commerce solutions 
in which your company had made a strategic investment amounting to Rs. 13.08    
crore, filed for liquidation. Alpha Thinx Mobile Phone Services AG, a           
Vienna-based company operating in the wireless Internet space, in which your    
company had made a strategic investment amounting to Rs. 2.21 crore, also filed 
for liquidation. Due to adverse capital market conditions, these entities were  
unable to raise the capital required to fund their growth plans and were        
therefore forced into liquidation. Pending the conclusion of liquidation        
proceedings, your company has provided for the entire amount of these           
investments.                                                                    

Human resource management                                                       

Given the knowledge-intensive nature of your company's activities, human        
resources are among its most critical assets. Recognizing this, your company has
put in place a scalable recruitment and human resource management process,      
enabling it to attract and retain high-calibre employees. Your company added    
4,442 employees, net of separations, taking the total strength to 9,831 - up    
from 5,389 at the end of the previous year. Your company has a robust selection 
process, evidenced by the ability to conduct aptitude tests for up to 10,000    
applicants in a single day across India.                                        

Entry-level engineers are put through intense technical training and are also   
exposed to cross-functional training that helps hone their soft skills. Further,
all employees are eligible for your company's stock option plan. Your company's 
attrition rate, at 11.2% for the year (9.2% for the previous year), is a        
testimony to its ability to attract and retain high-quality talent.             

In order to ensure a safe and congenial workplace, your company has formulated  
and implemented a policy against sexual harassment. Process improvements have   
also been made in the areas of recruitment, training and visa processing.       

Quality                                                                         

Your company is rated at Level 5 of the Capability Maturity Model (CMM) of the  
Software Engineering Institute at Carnegie Mellon University, USA. To address   
the challenges of the future and to ensure performance improvement in an        
integrated manner, your company has launched the Infosys Excellence Initiative  
(IEI), which is a single umbrella for all quality initiatives within the        
organization. This initiative spans various functions in the organization,      
namely core delivery processes, functional and cross-functional processes, and  
organizational management processes. It envisages leveraging CMM Level 5 for    
delivery processes, the Malcolm Baldrige framework for organizational management
processes, and 6-sigma Cross Functional Process Mapping (CFPM) techniques for   
improving cross-functional processes.

The Malcolm Baldrige framework will focus on the overall assessment of your     
company's business and integration of all its business activities. 6-sigma CFPM 
techniques are being used to improve customer relationship management, customer 
order management, talent deployment, and other cross-functional processes. For  
instance, the Visasixers initiative was launched to enhance internal customer   
satisfaction with the visa filing process, and to decrease response time for    
specific requirements by streamlining these processes. A cross-functional team  
was established which identified and implemented 18 action items, thereby       
leading to 76% increase in internal customer satisfaction, 96% adherence to     
service levels, and 50% reduction in cycle times.                               

Infosys Leadership Institute                                                    

In order to groom leaders of the future, the Infosys Leadership Institute (ILI) 
campus is being constructed in Mysore, Karnataka. Leadership development is     
being planned across the organization - from junior to senior levels of         
management. The ILI campus will have state-of-the-art training facilities, along
with hostel facilities for the participants of the training program. This       
initiative will proactively seek to develop and facilitate leadership skills    
among Infoscions, through a mix of classroom and action-oriented learning.      

InStep global internship program                                                

As part of its brand building efforts with leading universities around the      
world, your company has developed InStep, a global internship program. The      
program selects high-quality students from top academic institutions across the 
globe and deploys them on live projects in your company's offices worldwide.    
InStep has had students from a variety of backgrounds, cultures, and            
universities - ranging from computer science undergraduates from the            
Massachusetts Institute of Technology to graduate students of business from the 
Wharton School. This year, your company held InStep information sessions in 14  
educational institutions in the US, UK, Canada and France. Subsequently, we     
received 700 applications for just 24 internship positions. InStep is an        
integral part of your company's international recruitment initiative that aims  
at making its workforce truly global.                                           

The new information infrastructure                                              

Your company firmly believes that internal IT initiatives are a key ingredient  
for sustained corporate growth. IT is an enabler of global delivery and 24 x 7  
operations and is therefore a key driver of customer satisfaction. For its      
internal IT systems, your company uses an intranet backbone, straddling a range 
of technologies, along with a strong back-end in SAP R/3 and Microsoft          
technologies.                                                                   

Your company has implemented the latest SAP R/3 version 4.6 on a                
state-of-the-art Storage Area Network (SAN) solution to enable high performance 
and 24 x 7 availability. Further, a range of custom-built, web-enabled systems  
have been implemented that address your company's business needs. Ongoing IT    
initiatives range from building a globally scalable infrastructure to           
implementing e-CRM and deploying extranets.                                     

The implementation of these will                                                

.  drive information availability to a global work force,               

.  enhance employee and process productivity, and                       

.  further strengthen our client partnerships.                          

Additional information to shareholders                                          

In earlier years, your company provided additional information in the form of   
intangible assets scoresheet, human resources accounting, value-added statement,
brand accounting, economic value-added statement, and financial statements in   
substantial compliance with the GAAP of six countries, in addition to the US and
India. This information is provided in this year's Annual Report also.          

Basic financial statements are generally prepared on the historic cost basis for
income measurement and asset valuation. In a changing price environment,        
financial statements should reflect changes in the economic environment. The    
Institute of Chartered Accountants of India has issued a Guidance Note on       
Accounting for Changing Prices. Your company has recast its balance sheet and   
profit and loss account for the current year in accordance with this guidance   
note to reflect the impact of changing prices on its historic cost basis        
financial statements. This information is provided in the section on Additional 
information to shareholders.                                                    

Corporate governance                                                            

With increasing globalization, there has been a renewed thrust on corporate     
governance in India. Your company continues to be a pioneer in benchmarking its 
corporate governance policies with the best in the world, and its efforts are   
widely recognized by investors in India and abroad.

Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) submitted its report in November  
1999 that was accepted by SEBI in December 1999. While the recommendations of

Liquidity                                                                       

Your company continues to be adequately liquid and expects that this will help  
achieve its growth objectives. Enhanced liquidity reduces financial risk, and   
allows a rapid shift in direction should the market so demand. During the       
current year, internal cash accruals have more than adequately covered working  
capital requirements, capital expenditure of Rs. 463.35 crore and dividend      
payments, and have resulted in a surplus of Rs. 69.36 crore. As on March 31,    
2001, your company had liquid assets of Rs. 577.74 crore, as against Rs. 508.37 
crore at the previous year-end. These funds have been invested both in rupee and
dollar deposits with banks and financial institutions. A high level of liquidity
reduces return on shareholders funds. However, a balance between high returns on
funds deployed in the business, and the ready availability of cash for strategic
decisions on growth will have to be maintained. The creation of physical and    
technological infrastructure is expected to absorb a significant part of the    
liquid assets over the next three years.                                        

Research and education initiatives                                              

During the year, your company trained around 4,000 entrants as part of its      
induction-training program. Further, continuing education has been imparted,    
both in advanced technologies as well as in managerial skills. The total        
training imparted by your company to its employees during the year aggregated   
about 2,50,000 person days.                                                     

The Infosys Fellowship Program instituted by your company at 12 premier academic
institutions in India to support research work leading to a Ph.D. has been well 
received, and the number of fellowships instituted in the areas of information  
technology, management and law has been increased from 24 to 42. Professors,    
from reputed academic institutions in India and abroad, visited your company    
during the year under the Infosys sabbatical program. These professors studied  
and advised Infosys on practices in knowledge management (KM), training and     
project management. Your company spent around 0.87% of its revenue on R&D       
activities during the year.

Your company sees knowledge management as a key imperative to help manage growth
and stay competitive in the technology business. A KM deployment architecture   
that addresses the four key dimensions of KM - technology, people, content and  
process - has been defined and implemented internally. A `Knowledge Currency    
Unit' mechanism has been defined as a key component to promote an internal      
knowledge sharing culture.                                                      

Even as the KM movement is gaining momentum internally, your company has been   
playing the role of a catalyst in various knowledge networks externally, by     
delivering invited talks, publishing in international journals, and presenting  
at international conferences, among other initiatives. Dr Karl-Erik Sveiby, an  
internationally renowned expert in KM visited Infosys during the year and       
observed that, "Infosys is a KM pioneer in India and, when it comes to          
publishing its intangible assets in the Annual Report, even one of the pioneers 
in the world. The Infosys KM initiatives seem well-balanced; they are a blend of
both IT and people initiatives, and the KM Team at Infosys has a holistic       
understanding of KM."                                                           

Your company has also created extensive infrastructural facilities for education
and research during the year, with the inauguration of a dedicated building of  
1,15,000 sq. ft. along with state-of-the-art equipment.                         

Infosys Foundation                                                              

Your company is committed to contribute to its social milieu and, in 1998,      
established Infosys Foundation as a not-for-profit trust to support initiatives 
that benefit society-at-large. The Foundation supports programs and             
organizations devoted to the cause of destitutes, rural poor, spastics, senior  
citizens and illiterates. It also helps preserve certain arts and cultural      
activities of India which are under threat of fading out. Grants to the         
foundation during the year aggregated Rs. 5.26 crore, as compared to Rs. 2.80   
crore in the previous year.                                                     

A summary of the work done by the Foundation appears in the Infosys Foundation  
section of this report. On your behalf, your directors express their gratitude  
to the honorary trustees of the Foundation for sparing their valuable time and  
energy for the activities of the Foundation.                                    

Community services                                                              

Your company continued the social programs initiated in 1999 - Catch Them Young,
Rural Reach and Train the Trainer. The three programs covered about 800 urban   
children from 100 schools, 2,000 children in rural schools (in five languages), 
and 90 engineering college teachers from over about 60 colleges across the      
country, respectively, during the year. In addition, new programs included a    
summer internship program for computer science students from the IITs and a     
technology workshop for 35 engineering students from 17 colleges.               

Further, your company, through its Computers@Classrooms initiative launched in  
January 1999, has donated 744 computers to 272 institutions across India. Your  
company has also applied to the relevant authorities for permission to donate an
additional 419 computers to 180 institutes in the near future. Microsoft        
continues to participate in this initiative by donating the relevant software   
and we would like to place on record our appreciation for its continued support.

Annexures to the directors' report                                              
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

a)  Particulars pursuant to Companies (Disclosure of particulars in the report  
of the board of directors) Rules, 1988                                  

1.  Conservation of energy                                                      

  The operations of your company are not energy-intensive. However, adequate
measures have been taken to reduce energy consumption by using energy-  
  efficient computers and by the purchase of energy-efficient equipment with
   the latest technologies. Your company constantly evaluates new technologies
and invests in them to make its infrastructure more energy-efficient.   
  Currently, your company uses CFL fittings and electronic ballast to reduce
   the power consumption of fluorescent tubes. A building automation system to
control the working of air conditioners and to make them more energy-   
efficient has been implemented. Energy-saving air conditioners have been
 purchased and scroll compressors are being used in place of reciprocating
compressors for all packaged and split-type air conditioning systems.   
Energy-efficient pumps are used for the water system. As energy costs   
  comprise a very small part of your company's total expenses, the financial
impact of these measures is not material.                               

2.  Research and development (R&D)                                              

    Research and development of new services, designs, frameworks, processes and
methodologies continue to be of importance at Infosys. This allows your 
   company to increase quality, productivity and customer satisfaction through
continuous innovation.                                                  

a.  R&D initiative at institutes of national importance                 

    This initiative has been described in the Research and education initiatives
section in the directors' report.                                       

b.  Specific areas for R&D at Infosys                                   

Since businesses and technologies are changing constantly, continuous   
 investments in research and development are of paramount importance. Your
  company has taken the approach that its research must be beneficial to the
  company and to its clients either in the short term or in the medium term.
    As in earlier years, your company continues to conduct research in the areas
of software engineering, project management, global delivery, emerging  
technologies, and new tools and techniques.                             

Research has been continuing in the areas of software architecture and  
  performance engineering. This is to help projects deliver high-performance
    and high-transaction volume software solutions to clients. Research has also
  been continued in object and component technologies to create modules that
enable repeatability across projects.                                   

Your company continues to undertake research in the following areas:    

    General software engineering: Your company is constantly improving its
methodologies to increase quality and productivity, and to reduce 
time-to-market for its clients.                                   
New technologies: A methodology for performance-testing of web    
applications has been developed.                                  
Products: Your company continues to enhance and develop additional
products in the Banking area.                                     

  Your company has various groups engaged in R&D. The Education and Research
   (E&R) department conducts short-term and long-term research in the areas of
   knowledge management, education and training methodologies, and technology-
 based mechanisms for delivery of education. During the year, the E&R team
published 49 papers in leading international / national journals and    
  conferences. Further, an e-commerce research laboratory was established by
  the E&R department for building expertise and skill sets in e-commerce and
web applications. A Web Performance Testing Center was also established.

The Software Engineering and Technology Labs (SETLabs) tracks emerging  
  technology trends in the short-term and long-term as well as opportunities
for innovation in software development. SETLabs works on diverse areas  
including, business modeling, architecture definition, technology       
    assessment, infrastructure and security consulting, mobile computing, object
   and component technology, and operating systems and environments, to name a
   few. Research findings in the software engineering area have been published
    in international journals and have been presented at several reputed forums.
Built on this foundation of research is a set of cutting-edge consulting
  services that SETLabs provides to your company's clients, and an extensive
  repository of technical knowledge and expertise that SETLabs uses to guide
project teams to continually improve their quality and productivity.    

c.  Benefits derived as a result of R&D activity                        

    Your company has been able to maintain margins despite changes in technology
and increased personnel costs. The e-commerce and the Web Performance   
Testing centers have been instrumental in building expertise in the     
e-commerce area.

d.  Future plan of action                                               

There will be continued focus and increased investment in the above R&D 
activities. Future benefits are expected to flow in from initiatives    
undertaken this year.

During the year, your company successfully migrated to a Windows 2000   
   backbone. Further, your company made significant additions to the number of
  servers used for software development, and to the number of file and print
 servers. Your company also upgraded its mainframe system from the earlier
  S/390 9672/RA4 to the new H30, and standardized the use of Pentium III 733
MHz system with 256 MB RAM and at least 10 GB hard disk space as the

Further, your company has installed a 1.16TB Storage Area Network for   
hosting corporate data and applications.                                

Your company further invested in middleware technologies, mobile        
   technologies and legacy modernization technologies. Your company has set up
laboratories and Centers of Excellence for technology research and      
competence building. Your company joined several Technical Standards    
organizations, and continues to be capable of providing total technology
solutions to its clients using new technologies and tools.              

4.  Foreign exchange earnings and outgo                                         

 a. Activities relating to exports, initiatives taken to increase exports,
     development of new export markets for products and services, and export
plans                                                             

Your company has had a strong export focus in the past, and expects its 
export thrust to continue in future. In fiscal 2001, 98.60% of software 
revenues were derived from exports. Over the years, your company has    
 established a substantial direct marketing network all over the world and
now has marketing offices in North America, Europe and the Asia Pacific 
  region. These offices are staffed with sales and marketing specialists who
sell your company's services to large, international clients.           

    During the year, your company opened marketing offices in Hong Kong, Sydney,
  Phoenix (Arizona), U.A.E., Argentina and Paris. It also set up development
  centers in London, Lisle, a suburb of Chicago, Illinois; Berkeley Heights,
New Jersey; and Phoenix, Arizona. Your company also launched a global   
initiative to increase the awareness of the Infosys brand, and of its   
products and services. Several press and public relations exercises were
launched in the US to enhance your company's visibility. Further, your  
  company plans to take part in several international exhibitions to promote
its products and services.                                              

During the year, your company's Banking Business Unit won new clients in
Nigeria, U.A.E and Mauritius.                                           

  The long-term goal of your company is to be a highly respected name in the
 global market for its services and products, and to continue to realize a
significant portion of its revenue from exports.

Annexures to the directors' report (contd.)                                     
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

c)  The directors' responsibility statement as required under section 217 (2AA) 
of the Companies (Amendment) Act, 2000                                          

The financial statements are prepared in conformity with the accounting         
standards issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India and the     
requirements of the Companies Act, 1956, to the extent applicable to the        
company; on the historical cost convention; as a going concern and on the       
accrual basis. There are no material departures from prescribed accounting      
standards in the adoption of the accounting standards. The accounting policies  
used in the preparation of the financial statements have been consistently      
applied, except where otherwise stated in the notes on accounts.                

The board of directors and the management of Infosys accept responsibility for  
the integrity and objectivity of these financial statements. The estimates and  
judgments relating to the financial statements have been made on a prudent and  
reasonable basis, in order that the financial statements reflect in a true and  
fair manner, the form and substance of transactions, and reasonably present the 
company's state of affairs and profits for the year. To ensure this, the company
has taken proper and sufficient care in installing a system of internal control 
and accounting records; for safeguarding assets, and, for preventing and        
detecting frauds as well as other irregularities; which is reviewed, evaluated  
and updated on an ongoing basis.  Our internal auditors have conducted periodic 
audits to provide reasonable assurance that the established policies and        
procedures of the company have been followed. However, there are inherent       
limitations that should be recognized in weighing the assurances provided by any
system of internal controls and accounts.                                       

The financial statements have been audited by Bharat S Raut & Co., Chartered    
Accountants, and the independent auditors.                                      

The audit committee at Infosys meets periodically with the internal auditors and
the independent auditors to review the manner in which the auditors are         
performing their responsibilities, and to discuss auditing, internal control and
financial reporting issues.  To ensure complete independence, the independent   
auditors and the internal auditors have full and free access to the members of  
the audit committee to discuss any matter of substance.                         

                              For and on behalf of the board of directors,

                        Infosys Technologies Limited

Risk management                                                                 
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The management cautions readers that the risks outlined below are not exhaustive
and are for information purposes only. Investors are requested to exercise their
own judgment in assessing various risks associated with the company and to refer
to discussions of some of these risks in the company's earlier Annual Reports   
and Securities and Exchange Commission filings.                                 

In a dynamic industry such as IT services, risk is an inherent aspect of        
business. Risk taking is an essential ingredient for growth. The negative       
fallouts of such an ingredient, however, need to be managed through effective   
risk mitigation - both at the strategic as well as at the transactional level.  
This is especially so in the current scenario where the business environment is 
going through a turbulent phase. Revenue shortfall and profit warnings, coupled 
with employee retrenchments, are the order of the day among many of the Fortune 
500 companies. It is indeed during such times that a company's ability to manage
risk is put to an acid test.                                                    

Infosys' business model rests on four pillars - Predictability, Sustainability, 
Profitability and De-risking (the PSPD model). This model helps the management  
evaluate risk-return trade-offs and thereby make effective strategic choices.   
The company focuses on long-term relationships with its clients and seeks to    
become a strategic partner in their quest for competitiveness. This leads to a  
predictable and sustainable revenue stream for the company. Infosys' pioneering 
Global Delivery Model has helped the company consistently be among the most     
profitable IT services companies in the world. The last element of the model -  
de-risking - provides the company with the strength and stability to effectively
react to changes in the business environment.                                   

A comprehensive and integrated risk management framework forms the basis of all 
the de-risking efforts of the company. Prudential norms aimed at limiting       
exposures are an integral part of this framework. Formal reporting and control  
mechanisms ensure timely information availability and facilitate proactive risk 
management. These mechanisms are designed to cascade down to the level of line  
managers so that risks at the transactional level are identified and steps are  
taken towards mitigation in a decentralized fashion.                            

The board of directors is responsible for monitoring risk levels on various     
parameters and the management council ensures implementation of mitigation      
measures, if required. The audit committee provides the overall direction on the
risk management policies.

Excessive dependence on any single business segment increases risk and  
therefore needs to be avoided. To this end, the company has adopted     
    prudential norms, wherever required, to prevent undesirable concentration in
any one vertical, technology, client or geographic area.                

1.1 E-business exposure                                                         

In recent years, the Internet has emerged as an efficient platform for  
enabling business transactions. This has created a significant business 
opportunity for IT service companies such as Infosys. Over the last two 
   years, Infosys has demonstrated the ability to partner with high technology
    companies as well as with established corporations embracing the e-paradigm.

    Due to the inherently risky nature of start-up companies, Infosys has chosen
to focus on Fortune 500 and other established corporations. This is     
reflected in the table below showing a break-up of Infosys' e-business  
revenues:

1.2  Service concentration                                                      

 Infosys has an array of service offerings across various horizontal and
vertical business segments. These services are designed to offer the  
     company end-to-end capability in delivering IT solutions to its clients and
also add stability and predictability to the its revenue stream.      

  The following table provides historical data on contribution to revenues
from the various service offerings.

1.3  Client concentration                                                       

Excessive exposure to a few large clients has the potential to impact 
    profitability and to increase credit risk. However, large clients and high
  repeat business lead to higher revenue growth and lower marketing costs.
 Therefore, the company needs to strike a balance. Infosys has chosen to
limit revenue from any one client to 10% of the total revenue.        

    In addition to increasing revenues from existing clients, Infosys actively
     seeks new business opportunities and clients to reduce client concentration
levels. During the year, the company added 122 clients.               

The following table provides historical data on client concentration.

1.4  Geographical concentration                                                 

A high geographical concentration of business could lead to volatility
because of political and economic factors in target markets. However, 
individual markets have distinct characteristics - growth, IT spends, 
    willingness to outsource, costs of penetration, and price points. Cultural
    issues such as language, work culture and ethics, and acceptance of global
talent also come into play. Due to these business considerations, the 
company has decided not to impose any rigid limits on geographical    
concentration.                                                        

Proactively looking for business opportunities in new geographies and 
   thereby increasing their contribution to total revenues helps manage this
risk. In line with this, the company has made significant efforts to  
enhance business from Europe and Asia Pacific. The company opened five
     marketing offices in the US, Europe and the Asia Pacific during this fiscal
year.                                                                 

The following table provides historical data relating to geographical 
concentration.

1.5  Vertical domain concentration                                              

     Vertical domains relate to the industries in which clients operate. Infosys
  has chosen to focus on certain vertical segments with a view to leverage
   accumulated domain expertise to deliver enhanced value to its clients. To
ensure that cyclicality in any one industry does not adversely impact 
  revenues, the proportion of revenue from each vertical domain is closely
  monitored. Focused marketing efforts in chosen domains serve to mitigate
this risk.                                                            

   The following table provides historical information on the proportions of
revenue from various domains.

1.6  Technology concentration                                                   

  Being a company exposed to rapid shifts in technology, an undue focus on
  any particular technology could adversely affect the risk profile of the
   company. Given the rapid pace of technological change, Infosys has chosen
   not to impose rigid concentration limits. Often, industry characteristics
and market dynamics determine the choice of technology.               

The following table provides historical technology-related data.

2.   Financial risks                                                            

2.1  Foreign currency rate fluctuations                                         

     While Infosys derives its revenue from 28 countries around the world, 89.6%
   of revenues in fiscal 2001 was dollar-denominated. Further, all contracts
 that Infosys enters into are in internationally tradeable currencies so
that the company does not end up with local currencies that have      
  significant non-tradability and downside risks on exchange fluctuations.

 A large proportion of Infosys' expenses are in Indian rupees. Operating
    profits are therefore subject to foreign currency rate fluctuations. While
a depreciation of the Indian rupee would have a favorable bottom-line 
     impact, an appreciation would affect the company's profitability adversely.

The table below gives the foreign currency receipts and payments.     

                                                        [Enlarge/Download Table]

                                                                         in Rs. crore

     As a net foreign currency earner, Infosys has a natural hedge on all forex-
 related payments. All dollar expenses are met out of dollar-denominated
accounts. A significant portion of the surplus funds is maintained in 
foreign currency deposits. The company does not take active trading   
  positions in the foreign currency markets and operates only to hedge its
 receivables. Any bad debt write-offs in foreign currencies are effected
only after obtaining permission from the Reserve Bank of India.       

2.2  Liquidity                                                                  

    An essential part of the financial strategy of Infosys is to have a liquid
    balance sheet. The company desires to have liquid assets at 25% of revenue
   and around 40% of total assets. Operating as it does in a high technology
     area, a high level of liquidity enables quick responses to rapid changes in
the environment.                                                      

 Infosys also has a policy to settle its payables well within stipulated
time frames. Further, the nature of business is such that significant 
    investments may have to be made in marketing, and research and development
activities. All these factors call for considerable liquidity.        

 The following table gives data on the liquidity position of the company
based on Indian GAAP.

2.3  Leverage                                                                   

 Infosys has been a debt-free company for the last four financial years.
   Currently, the company has a policy to use debt financing only for short-
term funding requirements, should the necessity arise.                

3.   Legal and statutory risks                                                  

3.1  Contractual liabilities                                                    

   Litigation regarding intellectual property rights, patents and copyrights
is significantly high in the software industry. In addition, there are
     other general corporate legal risks. The management has clearly charted out
   a review and documentation process for contracts. This process focuses on
evaluating the legal risks involved in a contract, on ascertaining the
legal responsibilities of the company under the applicable law of the 
contract, on restricting its liabilities under the contract, and on   
covering the risks involved. The management has also taken sufficient 
  insurance cover abroad to cover possible liabilities arising out of non-
  performance of the contract. The management reviews this on a continuous
   basis and takes corrective action. As a matter of policy the company does
   not enter into contracts that have open-ended legal obligations. To date,
the company has no material litigation in relation to contractual     
obligations pending against it in any court in India or abroad.       

3.2  Statutory compliance                                                       

Infosys has a compliance officer to advise the company on compliance  
issues, with respect to the laws of various jurisdictions in which the
    company has its business activities, and to ensure that the company is not
  violating the laws of any jurisdiction where the company has operations.
    The compliance officer reports to the board of directors from time to time
on the compliance or otherwise with the laws of various jurisdictions.
Various business heads give compliance certificates to the board of   
     directors and the compliance officer reports deviations, if any. Generally,
  the company takes appropriate business decisions after ascertaining from
   the compliance officer and, if necessary, from independent legal counsel,
     that the business operations of the company are not in contravention of any
    law in the jurisdiction in which it is undertaken. Legal compliance issues
are an important factor in assessing all new business proposals. The  
company has strengthened its legal team and put in place appropriate  
policies towards legal compliance. The company follows an affirmative 
 policy in protecting its trade name and trademark / service mark and is
  actively pursuing trademark infringement suits against various persons /
companies in India.                                                   

4.   Internal process risks                                                     

4.1  Leadership development                                                     

     As the company experiences continuous growth, one of the key imperatives is
     to develop leadership among the talent pool that the company possesses. The
Infosys Leadership Initiative has been launched to develop a large    

EX-13.1 43rd Page of 205 TOC 1st Previous Next ↓Bottom Just 43rd
    number of leaders at various levels. This initiative would seek to develop
     and facilitate leadership skills proactively among Infoscions through a mix
of classroom and action-oriented learning.                            

4.2  Human resource management                                                  

  The key resource for Infosys is its people. The company has been able to
create a favorable work environment that encourages innovation and    
  meritocracy. This is reflected in the fact that Infosys was rated as the
Best Employer of India in the Business Today-Hewitt Study, based on a 
survey of HR practices of leading Indian corporates.                  

An employee-friendly work environment combined with a well-balanced   
   compensation package, ensures that Infosys has one of the lowest employee
attrition rates in the industry today. The table below gives attrition
rates for the past three years:                                       

     -------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                   FY 2001  FY 2000  FY 1999
     -------------------------------------------------------------------------
   Attrition rate                                   11.2%    9.2%    11.5%
     -------------------------------------------------------------------------

   Infosys enjoys excellent relationships with leading universities in India
and thus has a huge talent pool to draw from. The company added 4,033 
software professionals during the year ended March 31, 2001. This was 
     achieved in spite of the stiff entry criteria the company sets for aspiring
employees.                                                            

4.3  Process maturity                                                           

  Risk management processes at the operational level are a key requirement
   for reducing uncertainty in delivering high-quality software solutions to
   clients within budgeted time and cost. Adoption of quality models such as
  the Software Engineering Institute's Capability Maturity Model (SEI-CMM)
  has ensured that risks are identified and measures are taken to mitigate
   them at the project plan stage itself. Infosys has been certified to have
  software development processes at Level 5 of the CMM, a distinction that
only 37 companies in the world have achieved.                         

A Risk Management Guideline is in place to provide guidance to project
 leaders and module leaders on ways in which risks can be identified and
  mitigated. Further, important metrics are collected and analyzed for all
projects, and a database of such information is maintained to focus   
attention on key improvement areas. Standard methodologies, perfected 
     through accumulated experience, form the basis for execution of projects in
most of Infosys' service offerings.                                   

Infosys also has effective systems in place to ensure creation,       
    documentation and dissemination of experiential knowledge. The backbone of
  this system is a user-friendly, searchable database known as the Body of
     Knowledge (BoK) comprising knowledge components contributed by employees of
the company. Incentive schemes are in place to encourage a knowledge  
     sharing culture in the organization. Even so, the company has now created a
 dedicated central team of experts in the knowledge management sphere to
provide further impetus to this initiative. This group will create    
technology aids and also facilitate knowledge accumulation and        
dissemination through innovative methods.                             

While Infosys has significantly mature processes in the software      
   development arena, the company has been focusing its attention during the
  year on enhancing the process quality of other enterprise processes, and
 aligning them with the organizational objectives. World-class models of
process excellence like the 6-sigma technique and the Malcolm Baldrige
   quality framework guide this initiative. Through this initiative, many of
     the processes critical to the long-term competitiveness of the company have
     been taken up for re-engineering. The power of IT has been used in all such
instances to achieve quantum leaps in process performance.            

     As a result of such efforts, the company won the IMC Ramkrishna Bajaj award
     during the year. This award, based on the Malcolm Baldrige National Quality
Award Framework, is given to Indian companies for enterprise process  
excellence.                                                           

4.4  Internal control systems                                                   

   Being a process-oriented company, Infosys has in place well-defined roles
and responsibilities for people at various levels. This, coupled with 
   robust internal information systems, ensures appropriate information flow
     to facilitate effective monitoring. Adherence to these processes is ensured
    through frequent internal audits. Additionally, the following measures are
in place to ensure proper control:                                    

       Any unbudgeted expense has to be approved by the managing director,
president and COO.                                          

          Any policy change has to be approved by a committee headed by managing
   director, president and COO after a 5-year profitability impact
assessment.                                                 

EX-13.1 44th Page of 205 TOC 1st Previous Next ↓Bottom Just 44th
         Senior management personnel submit periodic reports on their activities
         and achievements to be reviewed by the managing director, president and
COO.                                                          

Infosys uses an operations planning model to forecast personnel       
    requirements based on business projections. The personnel requirements are
incorporated into the annual capital budgeting exercise. Any material 
     change in the business outlook is factored into the personnel forecasts and
 capital budgets. Effective budgetary control on all capital expenditure
ensures that actual spending is in line with the capital budget.      

4.5  Disaster prevention and recovery                                           

  Adherence to ISO 9001 and CMM Level 5 quality standards has ensured that
    the company has a robust disaster prevention and recovery system in place.
    The company has a disaster recovery plan for each of its work locations as
     well as for each technology category. Possible risks for each category have
been identified and action plans put in place to cope with any        
  contingencies. These plans are reviewed and updated periodically to make
sure that they are in tune with changes in technology and risks. All  
   software media brought into the company's offices are scanned for viruses
before being used. Further, Infosys has firewalls in place on all     
connections to clients and to the Internet.                           

4.6  Technological obsolescence                                                 

   The company evaluates technological obsolescence and the associated risks
on a continuing basis and makes investments accordingly. Information  
 technology is possibly the only area where costs for a given technology
   reduce over time. The cost of acquiring technology also includes the cost
of installation and retraining.                                       

 The technology requirements of the company can be classified into three
    categories; different strategies are used to manage risk in each category.
   The first category is the company's desktop environment consisting of PCs
 along with associated software. In this category, volumes are large and
   retraining costs are high. The company considers this a commodity product
    and goes for a technology that is mature- not leading-edge - so that costs
   are low. The company has also standardized its user interface software so
that retraining costs are minimal. Once the warranty period on these  
systems expires, they are donated to educational and charitable       
institutions, after obtaining suitable approval.                      

The second category of systems are proprietary systems used for the   
     development of software for clients as well as the servers used for running
    internal IS applications. The technological obsolescence in these areas is
    not rapid, especially in the mainframe segment. Purchase decisions in this
category are determined by client requirements. The company has       
    standardized on the Windows NT platform for its internal IS needs. Network
  components also fall into this category and the company is standardizing
its network components, based on a few suppliers.                     

The third category of systems are the tools required for software     
development including project management tools, integrated software   
development environments, testing and other CASE tools, collaborative 
     software development tools, etc. In this category, the company continuously
 looks out for leading-edge products that help increase productivity and
    also give the company an advantage over its competitors. In its technology
infrastructure, Infosys aims to be on par with or better than its     
  competitors anywhere in the world, as well as its clients. The company's
     clients would like it to advise them on emerging products and technologies.
     Hence, Infosys continuously invests in these technologies. Several research
    initiatives are going on in the company to review and adopt the technology
for use internally, as well as, on client projects.                   

The company's amortization strategy reflects the requirements of the  
various categories of systems. Infosys has an aggressive amortization 
   program under which category 1 and 2 are amortized in 2 years, except for
   mainframe technology. Further, purchase of software is treated as revenue
    expenditure in the same year. Other assets are also aggressively amortized
     to ensure that the investment is current, and that any change in technology
would not lead to large write-offs. Such an amortization policy also  
ensures full cost recovery as part of current costs.

5.   Political risks                                                            

   Recognizing that India's education system, its world-class professionals,
  and its low cost structure give it an intrinsic comparative advantage in
    software exports, successive governments have accorded a special status to
   this industry. Given the consensus among all leading political parties on
 the importance of the software industry, it is likely to remain a focus
  area for governmental policy in the years to come. Business ties between
   the US corporations and the Indian software industry have been strong for
     several years now. These ties have been further strengthened with improving
bilateral relationships between the two governments over the past two 
 years. Several benefits have accrued to the industry due to this trend,
  including a recent increase in the cap on H-1B work permits from 115,000
  per annum to 195,000 per annum. Similar improvements have been seen with
     countries such as Germany, UK, Italy and Japan. Given such positive trends,
the company believes that its exposure to political risk is not very  
significant.

Corporate governance                                                            
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Corporate governance policies                                                   

Infosys has been a pioneer in benchmarking its corporate governance practices   
with the best in the world. Given below are the company's policies on corporate 
governance.                                                                     

A.   Board composition                                                          

1.   Responsibilities of the CEO and the COO                          

The current policy of the company is to have an executive chairman and
     chief executive officer (CEO), and a managing director, president and chief
   operating officer (COO). There is a clear demarcation of responsibilities
and authority between the two. The CEO is responsible for corporate   
strategy, brand equity, planning, external contacts, acquisitions, and
board matters. The managing director and COO is responsible for all   
 day-to-day, operations-related issues and for the achievement of annual
targets in customer satisfaction, sales, profitability, quality,      
   productivity, recruitment, training and employee retention. The CEO, COO,
the other executive directors and the senior management make periodic 
presentations to the board on their responsibilities, performance and 
targets.                                                              

2.   Size of the board                                                

The board has sixteen members.                                        

3.   Executive and independent directors                              

The current policy is to have an appropriate mix of executive and     
 independent directors to maintain the independence of the board, and to
separate the board functions of governance and management. To ensure  
independence of the board, the members of the audit committee, the    
    nominations committee and the compensation committee are composed entirely
     of independent directors. The current board has eight independent directors
     and eight executive directors. Five of the executive directors are founders
of the company.                                                       

4.   Board membership criteria                                        

    Board members are expected to possess the expertise, skills and experience
required to manage and guide a high growth, hi-tech, software company 
deriving revenue primarily from G-7 countries. Expertise in strategy, 
   technology, finance, quality and human resources is essential. Generally,
    they will be between 40 and 60 years of age. They will not be relatives of
     an executive director or of an independent director. They are generally not
   expected to serve in any executive or independent position in any company
in direct competition with Infosys. Board members are expected to     
     rigorously prepare for, attend, and participate in all board and applicable
committee meetings. Each board member is expected to ensure that their
  other current and planned future commitments do not materially interfere
with the member's responsibility as a director of Infosys.            

5.   Membership term                                                  

The board constantly evaluates the contribution of its members, and   
recommends to shareholders their re-appointment periodically as per   
   statute. The current law in India mandates the retirement of one-third of
 the board members every year and qualifies the retiring members for re-
    appointment. The executive directors are appointed by the shareholders for
a maximum period of five years at one time, but are eligible for re-  
   appointment upon completion of their term. The non-executive directors do
not have a specified term, but retire by rotation as per law. The     
nominations committee of the board, composed entirely of independent  
 directors, recommends such appointments / re-appointments. However, the
membership term is limited by the retirement age for the members.     

6.   Retirement policy                                                

The board has adopted a retirement policy for its members. Under this 
     policy, the maximum age of retirement of executive directors, including the
   CEO, is 60 years, which is the age of superannuation for the employees of
     the company. Their continuation as members of the board upon superannuation
    / retirement is determined by the nominations committee. The age limit for
retirement from the board is 65 years.                                

7.   Board compensation review                                        

The compensation committee determines and recommends to the board the 
   compensation payable to the members of the board. The compensation of the
executive directors consists of a fixed component and a performance   
    incentive. The compensation committee makes a quarterly appraisal of their
     performance. The annual compensation of the executive directors is approved
by the compensation committee, within the                             

EX-13.1 47th Page of 205 TOC 1st Previous Next ↓Bottom Just 47th
parameters set by the shareholders at the shareholders meetings. The  
    shareholders determine the compensation of the executive directors for the
entire period of their term.                                          

   The compensation of the independent directors is approved at a meeting of
the full board. The compensation payable to each of the independent   
  directors is limited to a fixed sum per year as determined by the board.
  The aggregate of these is within the limit of 0.5% of the net profits of
     the company for the year, calculated as per the provisions of the Companies
    Act, 1956, as approved by the shareholders, and is separately disclosed in
the financial statements. The compensation payable to the independent 
   directors, and the method of calculation are also disclosed separately in
    the financial statements. The executive directors who are also founders of
    the company have voluntarily excluded themselves from the 1994 Stock Offer
Plan, the 1998 Stock Option Plan and the 1999 Stock Option Plan. The  
   independent directors are also not eligible for stock options under these
 plans, except the 1999 Stock Option Plan. However, no options have been
issued during the year, under the plan, to the independent directors. 

8.   Memberships of other boards                                      

 Executive directors are excluded from serving on the board of any other
    entity, unless the said entity is an industrial entity whose interests are
     germane to the business of the software industry, or a government body that
   is of relevance to the software industry, or an entity whose objective is
     the upliftment of society. Independent directors are generally not expected
   to serve on the boards of competing companies. Other than this, there are
no limitations on them save those imposed by law and good corporate   
governance.                                                           

B.   Board meetings                                                             

1.   Scheduling and selection of agenda items for board meetings      

     Normally, board meetings are scheduled at least a month in advance. Most of
them are held at the company's registered office at Electronics City, 
     Bangalore, India. The chairman of the board and the company secretary draft
   the agenda for each meeting, along with explanatory notes, and distribute
   it in advance to the board members. Every board member is free to suggest
the inclusion of items on the agenda. Normally, the board meets once a
    quarter to review the quarterly results and other items on the agenda. The
  board also meets on the occasion of the annual shareholders' meeting. If
     necessary, additional meetings are held. Independent directors are normally
   expected to attend at least four board meetings in a year. A committee of
    the board meets as and when required for transacting business of a routine
nature.                                                               

2.   Availability of information to the members of the board          

    The board has unfettered and complete access to any information within the
    company, and to any employee of the company. At the meetings of the board,
  it welcomes the presence of managers who can provide additional insights
into the items being discussed.                                       

C.   Board committees                                                           

1.   The committees of the board                                      

Currently, the board has four committees - the audit committee, the   
compensation committee, the nominations committee and the investor    
    grievance committee. All these committees excluding the investor grievance
committee are composed entirely of independent directors. The investor
     grievance committee is composed of a non-executive chairman and some of the
  executive and non-executive directors. The functions of these committees
are described in the Report of committees of the board section in this
report.                                                               

2.   Assignment and terms of service of committee members             

   The board decides, in consultation with the chairman, and considering the
views of individual board members, the terms of service of various    
committees, and the assignment of specific board members to various   
committees.                                                           

3.   Frequency and duration of committee meetings and committee       
agenda                                                      

The chairman of the board, in consultation with the company           
secretary of the company and the committee chairman, determines the   
    frequency and duration of the committee meetings. Normally, the committees
     meet at least twice a year. However, the audit committee meets four times a
    year. The recommendations of the committee are submitted to the full board
for approval.                                                         

4.   Quorum for the meetings                                          

    The quorum should be either two members or one-third of the members of the
committees, whichever is higher.

D.   Management review and responsibility                                       

1.   Formal evaluation of officers                                    

   A committee headed by the chairman and CEO reviews, evaluates and decides
the annual compensation for officers of the company from the level of 
associate vice president, excluding members of the management council.
    Further, the compensation committee approves the compensation and benefits
for board members, as well as, for the members

  of the management council. Grants of stock options, under the 1994 Stock
    Offer Plan, were decided by the advisory board, constituted under the 1994
  Plan. The compensation committee of the board administers the 1998 Stock
Option Plan and the 1999 Stock Option Plan.                           

2.   Succession planning and management development                   

  The chairman reviews succession planning and management development with
the board from time to time.                                          

  3.   Board interaction with clients, employees, institutional investors,
the government and the press                                

  The chairman and CEO handles all interactions with investors, media, and
governments. In this task, he seeks advice and help from the managing 
director, president and COO, as well as the CFO, where necessary. The 
    managing director and COO manages all interaction with clients, taking the
advice and help of the CEO, where necessary. Both the CEO and the COO

  The company has an integrated approach to managing the risks inherent in
 various aspects of its business. As part of this approach, the board of
directors (BoD), is responsible for monitoring risk levels on various 
parameters, and the management council is responsible for ensuring    
 implementation of mitigation measures, if required. The audit committee
provides the overall direction on the risk management policies.       

Compliance with corporate governance codes                                      

Corporate governance has assumed great significance in India in the recent past.
Even though the Companies Act, 1956, provided a framework for corporate         
governance, defined the powers, duties and responsibilities of the board, and   
instituted a system of checks and balances with punishment for transgression of 
law, a need was felt for a comprehensive code of corporate governance.          

Globally, the Cadbury Committee on corporate governance has framed a similar    
code. As already stated, the company is committed to good corporate governance  
and has benchmarked itself against global best practices. The Confederation of  
the Indian Industry (CII) has taken the lead in framing such a code in India.   
The company has fully complied with the recommendations of CII on corporate     
governance.                                                                     

The Kumar Mangalam Birla Committee on Corporate Governance appointed by the     
Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) submitted its report in November  
1999, and the report was accepted by SEBI in December 1999. The recommendations 
of the committee are mandatory for the company, effective fiscal year 2001, and 
compliance with the same is discussed below.                                    

As additional disclosure of the company's compliance with corporate governance  
standards, reports on compliance with the Euroshareholders Corporate Governance 
Guidelines 2000, the Cadbury Committee recommendations, and the Blue Ribbon     
Committee recommendations are given hereunder. Further, a note on the company's 
compliance with the corporate governance guidelines of six countries, in their  
respective local languages, is presented in the Financial statements prepared in
substantial compliance with GAAP requirements of Australia, Canada, France,     
Germany, Japan and the United Kingdom and reports of compliance with the        
respective corporate governance standards section in this report.               

1.   Compliance with the recommendations of the Kumar Mangalam Birla  
    Committee on Corporate Governance "In an age where capital flows
      worldwide, just as quickly as information, a company that does not
      promote a culture of strong, independent oversight, risks its very
    stability and future health. Strong corporate governance is thus
     indispensable to resilient and vibrant capital markets, and is an
important instrument of investor protection."               

        Excerpts from the Kumar Mangalam Birla Committee Report on
Corporate Governance                                        

The company has complied with all the recommendations of the
committee.                                                  

  In recommendation No.7.1 on accounting standards and financial
       reporting, the committee has stated that the Institute of Chartered
       Accountants of India (ICAI) should issue certain further accounting
standards that should be made mandatory. The ICAI has issued
          accounting standards on segment reporting, disclosure and treatment of
         related party transactions, consolidation and earnings per shares and
       the same is mandatory for the accounting period commencing April 1,
         2001. The ICAI has also submitted an exposure draft on accounting for
         taxes on income. The company has adopted all the mandatory accounting
       standards in its financial statements for the year ending March 31,
         2001. The company has also provided pro-forma information in relation
        to the exposure draft on accounting for income taxes in the notes to
financial statements for the year ending March 31, 2001.    

         The committee has required certain information set out in annexure 4 of
        the committee's report to be furnished in the company's Annual Report.
The same is given below:

c.   Audit committee                                                  

      The company is listed on the BSE, NSE and BgSE in India and on the
       NASDAQ in the US. In India, the SEBI has made the implementation of
the Birla committee recommendations mandatory for all listed
        companies. The recommendations also require the adoption of an audit
committee charter.                                          

Concurrently, the SEC set up the Blue Ribbon Committee which
     recommended, inter alia, that every listed company adopt an audit
        committee charter. Consequently, NASDAQ adopted a rule requiring all
 companies seeking listing to comply with this recommendation.

       The audit committee at its meeting on May 27, 2000 adopted an audit
       committee charter which meets the requirements of both the SEBI and
    the SEC. This charter is provided in the Audit committee charter
section of this report.

2.   Compliance with the Euroshareholders Corporate Governance Guidelines 2000  

   The European shareholders group, "Euroshareholders", is the confederation
   of European shareholders associations. The organization's overall task is
to represent the interests of individual shareholders in the European 
Union. In April 1999, the Organization for Economic Co-operation and  
Development (OECD) published its general principles on corporate      
governance. The Euroshareholders guidelines are based upon the same   
  principles, but are more specific and detailed. The company has complied
     with most of these guidelines. As an additional disclosure of the company's
     compliance with corporate governance standards, a report on compliance with
     the recommendations of the Euroshareholders Corporate Governance Guidelines
2000 is given hereunder.

A company should aim primarily at maximizing shareholder value in the long-term.
Companies should clearly state (in writing) their financial objectives as well  
as their strategy, and should include these in the Annual Report.               

This recommendation is complied with.

Major decisions which have a fundamental effect upon the nature, size, structure
and risk profile of the company, and decisions which have significant           
consequences for the position of the shareholder within the corporation, should 
be subject to shareholder's approval or should be decided by the AGM.

The Securities and Exchange Board of India has published takeover

Companies should immediately disclose information which can influence the share 
price as well as information about those shareholders who pass (upwards or      
downwards) 5% thresholds. There should be serious penalties in case of non-     
compliance.

    As per the Indian law, shareholders holding not less than one-tenth of the
paid-up capital of the company are entitled to requisition a general  
meeting.

In addition to the regular channels, electronic means should be used by the     
company to provide shareholders with price-sensitive information.               

    The company posts all its financial results, as well as press releases, on
its website - www.infy.com.                                           

Recommendation 9

3.   Compliance with the Cadbury Committee recommendations                      

  The Cadbury Committee was set up in May 1991, in the United Kingdom. The
stated objective of the committee was "to help raise the standards of 
     corporate governance and the level of confidence in financial reporting and
auditing by setting out clearly what it sees as the respective        
responsibilities of those involved and what it believes is expected of
them".                                                                

EX-13.1 57th Page of 205 TOC 1st Previous Next ↓Bottom Just 57th
As an additional disclosure of the company's compliance with corporate
 governance standards, a report on compliance with the Cadbury Committee
recommendations is given hereunder.

Compliance                                                                      

The Cadbury Committee on corporate governance made nineteen           
     recommendations. The company complies with substantially all of them except
  the recommendation that - the board should consist of a majority of non-
   executive directors -currently, the company has eight executive directors
and eight non-executive directors.                                    

The company has set up committees of the board to focus on substantive
    issues in the form of the audit committee, the compensation committee, the
    nominations committee and the investor grievance committee. The reports of
  these committees are disclosed under the Report of the committees of the
board section in this Annual Report.                                  

Going concern statement                                                         

     On the basis of current financial projections and facilities available, the
directors have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate 
   resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future
and, accordingly, consider that it is appropriate to adopt the going  
concern basis in preparing accounts.                                  

4.   Compliance report with Blue Ribbon Committee report on improving           
effectiveness of corporate audit committees                           

The Blue Ribbon Committee was formed under the auspices of the United 
States Securities and Exchange Commission to develop a series of      
 recommendations to enable "audit committees to function as the ultimate
guardian of investor interests and corporate accountability". It has  
    recommended that exchange listing requirements be amended to require audit
committees to adopt a formal written charter and review and assess it 
  annually. A compliance report on the recommendations of the committee is
presented below.                                                      

Recommendation 1                                                                

Adopt the following definition of independence for purposes of service on the   
audit committee.                                                                

Members of the audit committee shall be considered independent if they have no  
relationship to the corporation that may interfere with the exercise of their   
independence from management and the corporation.                               

This recommendation is complied with. None of the directors are an    
interested party as defined in this recommendation.                   

Recommendation 2                                                                

In addition to adopting and complying with the definition of independence set   
forth above for purposes of service on the audit committee, have an audit       
committee comprised solely of independent directors. The committee recommends   
that the NYSE and the NASD maintain their respective current audit committee    
independence requirements as well as their respective definitions of            
independence.                                                                   

The audit committee consists only of independent, non-executive directors.  

Recommendation 3                                                                

To have an audit committee comprised of a minimum of three directors, each of   
whom is financially literate (as described in the section of this Report        
entitled "Financial Literacy") or becomes financially literate within a         
reasonable period of time after his or her appointment to the audit committee,  
and further that at least one member of the audit committee have accounting or  
related financial management expertise.                                         

   Infosys complies with this requirement. The members of the committees are
highly respected and accomplished professionals in the corporate and

Recommendation 4                                                                

Require the audit committee of each listed company to (i) adopt a formal written
charter that is approved by the full BoD and that specifies the scope of the    
committee's responsibilities, and how it carries out those responsibilities,    
including structure,  processes, and membership requirements, and (ii) review   
and reassess the adequacy of the audit committee charter on an annual basis.    

The audit committee charter is provided in the Audit committee charter
section of this annual report.                                        

Recommendation 5                                                                

Require the audit committee for each reporting company to disclose in the       
company's proxy statement for its annual meeting of shareholders whether the    
audit committee had adopted a formal written charter, and, if so, whether the   
audit committee satisfied its responsibilities during the prior year in         
compliance with its charter, which charter shall be disclosed at least          
triennially in the Annual Report to shareholders or proxy statement and in the  
next Annual Report to shareholders or proxy statement after any significant     
amendment to that charter.                                                      

The committee further recommends that the SEC adopt a "safe harbor" applicable  
to all disclosure referenced in this Recommendation 5.

This recommendation is complied with.                                 

Recommendation 6                                                                

Require that the audit committee charter for every listed company specify that  
the outside auditor is ultimately accountable to the BoD and the audit committee
as representatives of shareholders, and that these shareholder representatives  
have the ultimate authority and responsibility to select, evaluate, and, where  
appropriate, replace the outside auditor (or to nominate the outside auditor to 
be proposed for shareholder approval in any proxy statement).                   

This recommendation is complied with.                                 

Recommendation 7                                                                

Require that the audit committee charter for every listed company specify that  
the audit committee is responsible for ensuring its receipt from the outside    
auditors of a formal written statement delineating all relationships between the
auditor and the company, consistent with Independence Standards Board Standard  
No.1, and that the audit committee is also responsible for actively engaging in 
a dialogue with the auditor with respect to any disclosed relationships or      
services that may impact the objectivity and independence of the auditor and to 
take, or recommend that the full board take, appropriate action to ensure the   
independence of the outside auditor.                                            

This recommendation is complied with.                                 

Recommendation 8                                                                

That Generally Accepted Auditing Standards (GAAS) require that a company's      
outside auditor discuss with the audit committee the auditor's judgements about 
the quality, not just the acceptability, of the company's accounting principles 
as applied in its financial reporting; the discussion should include such issues
as the clarity of the company's financial disclosures and degree of             
aggressiveness or conservatism of the company's accounting principles and       
underlying estimates and other significant decisions made by management in      
preparing the financial disclosure and reviewed by the outside auditors. This   
requirement should be written in a way to encourage open, frank discussion and  
to avoid boilerplate.                                                           

This recommendation is complied with. Both the internal and external  
    auditors have full and free access to the audit committee, its members and
    the BoD. All the issues arising out of the internal and external auditors'
reports are discussed in detail in the audit committee meetings.      

Recommendation 9                                                                

Require all reporting companies to include a letter from the audit committee in 
the company's Annual Report to shareholders and Form 10-K Annual Report         
disclosing whether or not, with respect to the prior fiscal year: (i) management
has reviewed the audited financial statements with the audit committee,         
including a discussion of the quality of the accounting principles as applied   
and significant judgments affecting the company's financial statements; (ii) the
outside auditors have discussed with the audit committee the outside auditors'  
judgements of the quality of those principles as applied and judgments          
referenced in (i) above under the circumstances; (iii) the members of the audit 
committee have discussed among themselves, without management or the outside    
auditors present, the information disclosed to the audit committee described in 
(i) and (ii) above; and (iv) the audit committee, in reliance on the review and 
discussions conducted with management and the outside auditors pursuant to (i)  
and (ii) above, believes that the company's financial statements are fairly     
presented in conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) in 
all material respects.                                                          

The committee further recommends that the SEC adopt a "safe harbor" applicable  
to any disclosure referenced in this Recommendation 9.                          

This recommendation is complied with. The required report is provided 
elsewhere in this Annual Report                                       

Recommendation 10                                                               

Require that a reporting company's outside auditor conduct a SAS 71 Interim     
Financial Review prior to the company's filing of its Form 10-Q. The committee  
further recommends that SAS 71 be amended to require that a reporting company's 
outside auditor discuss with the audit committee, or at least its chairman, and 
a representative of financial management, in person, or by telephone conference 
call, the matters described in AU Section 380, Communications With the audit    
committee, prior to the filing of the Form 10-Q (and preferably prior to any    
public announcement of financial results), including significant adjustments,   
management judgement and accounting estimates, significant new accounting       
policies, and disagreements with management.                                    

   Being a foreign private issuer of securities, the company files quarterly
reports on Form 6-K and yearly reports in Form 20-F with the SEC. The 
financial statements included in Form 6-K and 20-F are reviewed by the
company's auditors, as per the requirements of SAS 71.

Audit committee charter                                                         
________________________________________________________________________________

1.   Primary objectives of the audit committee                                  

The primary objective of the audit committee (the "committee") is to  
 monitor and provide effective supervision of the management's financial
reporting process with a view to ensure accurate, timely and proper   
disclosures and the transparency, integrity and quality of financial  
reporting.                                                            

The committee oversees the work carried out in the financial reporting
process- by the management, including the internal auditors and the   
  independent auditor - and notes the processes and safeguards employed by
each.                                                                 

2.   Scope of the audit committee                                               

2.1  Provide an open avenue of communication between the independent  
auditor, internal auditor, and the board of directors ("BoD").        

2.2  Meet four times every year or more frequently as circumstances   
 require. The audit committee may ask members of management or others to
attend meetings and provide pertinent information as necessary.       

2.3  Confirm and assure the independence of the external auditor and  
objectivity of the internal auditor.                                  

     2.4  Review with the independent auditor the co-ordination of audit efforts
     to assure completeness of coverage, reduction of redundant efforts, and the
effective use of all audit resources.                                 

2.5  Consider and review with the independent auditor:                

 (a)  The adequacy of internal controls including computerised
information system controls and security; and     

        (b)  Related findings and recommendations of the independent auditor
        and internal auditor together with management's responses.

2.6  Consider and review with management, internal auditor and the    
independent auditor.                                                  

      (a)  Significant findings during the year, including the status of
previous audit recommendations;                   

 (b)  Any difficulties encountered in the course of audit work
             including any restrictions on the scope of activities or access
to required information;                          

        (c)  Any changes required in the planned scope of the internal audit
plan.                                             

     2.7  Report periodically to the BoD on significant results of the foregoing
activities.                                                           

3.   Composition of the audit committee                                         

   3.1  The committee shall consist solely of `independent' directors of the
        company and shall be comprised of a minimum of three directors, each
  of whom is `financially literate' or shall become `financially
 literate' within a reasonable period of time after his or her
   appointment. They should be diligent, knowledgeable, dedicated,
       interested in the job and willing to devote a substantial amount of
         time and energy to the responsibilities of the committee, in addition
   to BoD responsibilities. At least one of the members shall have
          accounting or related `financial management expertise'. The members of
      the committee shall be elected by the BoD and shall continue until
         their successors are duly elected. The duties and responsibilities of
        a member are in addition to those applicable to a member of the BoD.
      In recognition of the time burden associated with the service and,
     with a view to bring in fresh insight, the committee may consider
          limiting the term of audit committee service, by automatic rotation or
       by other means. One of the members shall be elected as the chairman
          either by the full BoD or by the members themselves, by majority vote.

   3.2  The BoD may, under exceptional and limited circumstances, waive this
          requirement if it is of the view that the concerned member is required
  in the committee, in the best interests of the company and its
     shareholders. However, the BoD shall disclose, in the next Annual
         Report (Proxy Statement) subsequent to such determination, the nature
of the relationship and the reasons for that determination. 

4.   Relationship with independent and internal auditors                        

4.1  The BoD and the committee have the ultimate authority and        
       responsibility to select, evaluate, and, where appropriate, replace
          the independent auditors in accordance with law. All possible measures
must be taken by the committee to ensure the objectivity and
independence of the independent auditors. These include:    

        -  obtaining from the independent auditors formal written statements
             delineating all relationships between the auditors and the company,
consistent with applicable regulatory requirements;   

       -  actively engaging in dialogues with the auditors with respect to
       any disclosed relationships or services that may impact their
           objectivity and independence and take, or recommend that the full
   BoD take appropriate action to ensure their independence;

       -  require and encourage the independent auditors to open and frank
         discussions on their judgements about the quality, not just the
            acceptability of the company's accounting principles as applied in
          its financial reporting, including such issues as the clarity of
             the company's financial disclosures and degree of aggressiveness or
            conservatism of the company's accounting principles and underlying
             estimates and other significant decisions made by the management in
     preparing the financial disclosure and audited by them; and

        -  require the independent auditor, carrying out the attest function
            in conformity with US GAAS, to perform an interim financial review
     as required under Statement of Auditing Standards 71 of the
American

             Institute of Certified Public Accountants and also discuss with the
         committee or its chairman, and an appropriate representative of
        Financial Management and Accounting, in person or by telephone
          conference call, the matters described in SAS 61, Communications
           with the Committee, prior to the company's filing of its Form 6-K
       (and preferably prior to any public announcement of financial
           results), including significant adjustments, management judgement
            and accounting estimates, significant new accounting policies, and
disagreements with management.                        

4.2  The internal auditors of the company are in the best position to 
         evaluate and report on the adequacy and effectiveness of the internal
 controls. Keeping in view the need for the internal auditors'
       independence from management in order to remain objective, a formal
    mechanism should be created to facilitate confidential exchanges
  between the internal auditors and the committee, regardless of
     irregularities or problems. The work carried out by each of these
   auditors needs to be assessed and reviewed with the independent
auditors and appropriate recommendations made to the BoD.   

5.   Disclosure requirements                                                    

  5.1  The committee charter should be published in the annual report once
         every three years and also whenever any significant amendment is made
to the charter.                                             

     5.2  The committee shall disclose in the company's Annual Report whether or
not, with respect to the concerned fiscal year:             

        -  management has reviewed the audited financial statements with the
            committee, including a discussion of the quality of the accounting
        principles as applied and significant judgements affecting the
company's financial statements;                       

       -  the independent auditors have discussed with the committee their
      judgements of the quality of those principles as applied and
judgements referred to above under the circumstances; 

    -  the members of the committee have discussed among themselves,
     without management or the independent auditors present, the
    information disclosed to the committee as described above;

         -  the committee, in reliance on the review and discussions conducted
      with management and the independent auditors pursuant to the
   requirements above, believes that the company's financial
      statements are fairly presented in conformity with Generally
           Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP") in all material respects;
and                                                   

          -  the committee has satisfied its responsibilities in compliance with
its charter.                                          

     5.3  The committee shall secure compliance that the BoD has affirmed to the
     NASD/Amex Stock Exchange on the following matters, as required in
terms of the relevant NASD/Amex rules:                      

          -  Composition of the committee and independence of committee members;

-  Disclosures relating to non-independent members;         

 -  Financial literacy and financial expertise of members; and

-  Review of the committee charter.                         

     5.4  The committee shall report to shareholders as required by the relevant
         rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") of the United
States.                                                     

6.   Definitions                                                                

6.1  Independent member                                               

          In order to be `independent', members should have no relationship with
          the company that may interfere with the exercise of their independence
      from the management and the company. The following persons are not
considered independent:                                     

         -  a director who is employed by the company or any of its affiliates
for the current year or any of the past three years;  

         -  a director who accepts any compensation from the company or any of
        its affiliates in excess of $60,000 during the previous fiscal
           year, other than compensation for board service, benefits under a
           tax-qualified retirement plan, or non-discretionary compensation;

          -  a director who is a member of the immediate family of an individual
             who is, or has been in any of the past three years, employed by the

            siblings, mother-in-law, father-in-law, brother-in-law, sister-in-
          law, son-in-law, daughter-in-law, and anyone who resides in such
person's home;                                        

         -  a director who is a partner in, or a controlling shareholder or an
             executive officer of, any for-profit business organization to which
        the company made, or from which the company received, payments

 securities) that exceed 5% of the company's or business
      organization's consolidated gross revenues for that year, or
          $200,000, whichever is more, in any of the past three years; and

         -  a director who is employed as an executive of another entity where

1.   Compensation committee                                                     

The compensation committee consists of the following directors:       

Prof. Marti G. Subrahmanyam - Chairman                                
Mr. Deepak M. Satwalekar                                              
Mr. Philip Yeo (from January 9, 2001)                                 
Prof. Jitendra Vir Singh (from January 9, 2001)                       
Dr. Omkar Goswami (from January 9, 2001)                              

During the year, Mr. S. M. Datta retired from the directorship of the company   
and also from the committee. Mr. Ramesh Vangal retired from the committee with  
effect from January 9, 2001.                                                    

The committee has, inter alia, the mandate to review and recommend compensation 
payable to the executive directors and senior management of the company and     
administer the company's stock option plans. The committee reviewed the         
performance of all the executive directors and approved the compensation payable
to them for fiscal 2002, within the overall limits approved by the shareholders.
Information on compensation and other benefits provided to the executive        
directors for fiscal 2001 is disclosed in the Corporate governance section of   
this annual report. The committee also reviewed the compensation proposed for   
all the management council members for fiscal 2002. The committee believes that 
the proposed compensation and benefits, along with stock options, are adequate  
to motivate and retain the senior officers of the company.                      

The committee also reviewed the grant of stock options on a sign-on and regular 
basis to various employees of the company, during the year.                     

Save as disclosed, none of the directors had a material beneficial interest in

The matters contained in sub paragraph 4(D) and 4(C) of the Manufacturing and   
Other Companies (Auditor's Report) Order, 1988, are not applicable to the       
company.

1.   In our opinion and according to the information and explanations given to  
     us, having regard to the explanations that certain items purchased are of a
special nature in respect of which suitable alternative sources do not
 exist for obtaining comparative quotations, there are adequate internal
     control procedures commensurate with the size of the company and the nature
of its business for the purchase of computer hardware and software,   
consumables, plant and machinery, equipment and other assets. The     
activities of the company do not involve the sale of goods.           
2.   In our opinion and according to the information and explanations given to  
  us, in respect of the service activities, the company, commensurate with
the size and the nature of its business, has a reasonable system of:  
     .    recording receipts, issues and consumption of materials and allocating
materials consumed to each project;                         
.    allocating man-hours utilised to each project; and

4.   The company has maintained proper records of fixed assets showing full     
     particulars, including quantitative details and location. The company has a

13.  SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND NOTES ON ACCOUNTS                      

Company overview                                                                

Infosys Technologies Limited ("Infosys" or "the company") is a publicly-held    
company providing information technology ("IT") solutions principally to Fortune
500 and emerging new economy companies. Infosys' range of services includes IT  
consulting, IT architecture, application development, e-commerce and Internet   
consulting, and software maintenance. In addition, the company develops and     
markets certain software products. Headquartered in Bangalore, India, Infosys   
has 16 state-of-the-art offshore software development facilities located        
throughout India that enables it to provide high quality, cost-effective        
services to clients in a resource-constrained environment. The company also has 
offices in North America, Europe and Asia.                                      

13.1 Significant accounting policies                                            

13.1.1  Basis of preparation of financial statements                  

     The financial statements are prepared under the historical cost convention,
     in accordance with Indian Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP")
  comprising the mandatory accounting standards issued by the Institute of
 Chartered Accountants of India and the provisions of the Companies Act,
1956, on the accrual basis, as adopted consistently by the company.   

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with GAAP   
   requires that the management of the company ("Management") make estimates
     and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenue and expenses of
the year, reported balances of assets and liabilities, and disclosures
relating to contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the   
financial statements. Examples of such estimates include expected     
    development costs to be incurred to complete software contracts, provision
  for doubtful debts, future obligations under employee retirement benefit
 plans and the useful lives of fixed assets. Actual results could differ
from those estimates.                                                 

13.1.2 Revenue recognition                                            

Revenue from software development on time-and-materials contracts is  
 recognized based on software developed and billed to clients as per the
terms of specific contracts. On fixed-price contracts, revenue is     
  recognized based on milestones achieved as specified in the contracts on
 the proportionate-completion method on the basis of the work completed.
Revenue from rendering Annual Technical Services ("ATS") is recognized
 proportionately over the period in which services are rendered. Revenue
from the sale of licenses for the use of software applications is     
recognized on transfer of the title in the user license. Interest on  
     deployment of surplus funds is recognized using the time-proportion method,
 based on interest rates implicit in the transaction. Dividend income is
 recognized when the company's right to receive dividend is established.
 Revenue from the sale of special import licenses is recognized when the
company transfers the licenses.                                       

13.1.3  Expenditure                                                   

     The cost of software purchased for use in software development and services
   is charged to revenue in the year the software is acquired. Project costs
in the nature of salaries, travel and other expenses incurred on fixed
    price contracts, where milestones are yet to be reached, are classified as
     "Costs in excess of billings" in the balance sheet. Provisions are made for
 all known losses and liabilities, future unforeseeable factors that may
   affect the profit on fixed-price software development contracts, and also
towards likely expenses for providing post-sales client support on    
 fixed-price contracts. The leave encashment liability of the company is
provided on the basis of an actuarial valuation.                      

13.1.4  Fixed assets                                                  

  Fixed assets are stated at cost, after reducing accumulated depreciation
     until the date of the balance sheet. Direct costs are capitalized until the
assets are ready for use and include financing costs relating to any  
 specific borrowing attributable to the acquisition of the fixed assets.

13.1.5  Capital work-in-progress                                      

     Advances paid to acquire fixed assets and the cost of assets not put to use
before the year-end are disclosed under capital work-in-progress.     

13.1.6  Depreciation                                                  

   Depreciation on fixed assets is determined using the straight-line method
  based on useful lives of assets as estimated by Management. Depreciation
 for assets purchased / sold during the year is proportionately charged.
     Individual assets acquired for less than Rs. 5,000 are entirely depreciated
   in the year of acquisition. Management estimates the useful lives for the
various fixed assets as follows:

13.1.7  Retirement benefits to employees                              

13.1.7a Gratuity                                                      

    In accordance with the Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972, Infosys provides for
    gratuity, a defined benefit retirement plan (the "Gratuity Plan") covering
     eligible employees. The Gratuity plan provides a lump sum payment to vested
employees at retirement, death, incapacitation or termination of      
    employment, of an amount based on the respective employee's salary and the
years of employment with the company.                                 

The company established the Infosys Technologies Limited Employees'   
 Gratuity Fund Trust (the "Trust") in 1997, until which the company made
    contributions to a gratuity plan managed by the Life Insurance Corporation
  of India. Liabilities with regard to the Gratuity Plan are determined by
     actuarial valuation, based upon which the company contributes to the Trust.
Trustees administer the contributions made to the Trust. The funds    
    contributed to the Trust are invested in specific designated securities as
   mandated by law and generally comprise central and state government bonds
and debt instruments of government owned corporations.                

13.1.7b Superannuation                                                

   Apart from being covered under the Gratuity Plan described above, certain
    employees of Infosys are also participants of a defined contribution plan.
 The company makes monthly contributions to the superannuation plan (the
    "Plan") based on a specified percentage of each covered employee's salary.
  The company has no further obligations under the Plan beyond its monthly
contributions.                                                        

13.1.7c  Provident fund                                               

     In addition to the above benefits, eligible employees receive benefits from
   a provident fund, which is a defined contribution plan. Both the employee
and the company make monthly contributions to this provident fund plan
equal to a specified percentage of the covered employee's salary.     

   Infosys established a Provident Fund Trust in 1996 to which a part of the
contributions are made each month. Prior thereto, the company made    
    contributions to the provident fund plan administered by the Government of
India. The remainders of the contributions are made to the Government 
   administered provident fund. The company has no further obligations under
the provident fund plan beyond its monthly contributions.             

13.1.8   Research and development                                     

    Revenue expenditure incurred on research and development is charged off as
incurred. Capital expenditure incurred on research and development is 
depreciated over the estimated useful lives of the related assets.    

13.1.9   Foreign currency transactions                                

Sales made to overseas clients and collections deposited in foreign   
    currency bank accounts are recorded at the exchange rate as of the date of
   the respective transactions. Expenditure in foreign currency is accounted
at the exchange rate prevalent when such expenditure is incurred.     
    Disbursements made out of foreign currency bank accounts are reported at a
  rate that approximates the actual monthly rate. Exchange differences are
   recorded when the amount actually received on sales or actually paid when
expenditure is incurred is converted into Indian Rupees. The exchange 
differences arising on foreign currency transactions are recognized as
income or expense in the year in which they arise.                    

   Fixed assets purchased at overseas offices are recorded at cost, based on
   the exchange rate as of the date of purchase. The charge for depreciation
is determined as per the company's accounting policy.                 

    Current assets and current liabilities denominated in foreign currency are
     translated at the exchange rate prevalent at the date of the balance sheet.
   The resulting difference is also recorded in the profit and loss account.
   In the case of forward contracts, the difference between the forward rate
and the exchange rate on the date of the transaction is recognized as 
income or expense over the life of the contract.                      

13.1.10  Investments                                                  

   Trade investments refer to the investments made with the aim of enhancing
    the company's business interests in software development and services. The
     investments are classified as current investments or long-term investments.
   Current investments are carried at the lower of cost and fair value. Cost
for overseas investments comprises the Indian Rupee value of the      
consideration paid for the investment. Provisions are recorded for any
decline in the carrying value as of the balance sheet date.           

Long-term investments are carried at cost and provisions recorded to  
    recognize any decline, other than temporary, in the carrying value of such
investment.                                                           

    The investment in the subsidiary is accounted on the cost method, whereby,
     the investment is carried at cost and the company recognizes only dividends
received from the subsidiary as income in the profit and loss account.
    Provisions are recorded to recognize any decline, other than temporary, in
the carrying value of the investment.

13.1.11  Income tax                                                   

Provision is made for income tax annually based on the tax liability  
  computed after considering tax allowances and exemptions. Provisions are
recorded as considered appropriate for matters under appeal due to    
disallowances or for other reasons.                                   

13.1.12  Earnings per share                                           

  The earnings considered in ascertaining the company's earnings per share
    comprises the net profit after tax and includes the post-tax effect of any
     extra-ordinary items. The number of shares used in computing basic earnings
   per share is the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the
 year. The number of shares used in computing diluted earnings per share
comprises the weighted average shares considered for deriving basic   
   earnings per share, and also the weighted average number of equity shares
  which could have been issued on the conversion of all dilutive potential
    equity shares. Dilutive potential equity shares are deemed converted as of
  the beginning of the year, unless they have been issued at a later date.
 The diluted potential equity shares have been adjusted for the proceeds
receivable had the shares been actually issued at fair value (i.e. the
   average market value of the outstanding shares). The number of shares and
    potentially dilutive equity shares are adjusted for stock splits and bonus
shares, as appropriate.                                               

13.1.13  New accounting standards                                     

The Institute of Chartered Accountants of India ("ICAI") has issued   
  accounting standards on segment reporting, related party disclosures and
   earnings per share that are applicable to the financial statements of the
    company, and are mandatory effective accounting period commencing on April
  1, 2001. The ICAI has also submitted an exposure draft on accounting for
taxes on income, which is also proposed to be made mandatory effective
April 1, 2001. The company has evaluated the effect of these standards
becoming mandatory and adopted the accounting standards on segment    
   reporting, related party disclosures and earnings per share, and provides
   pro-forma information in relation to the exposure draft on accounting for
income taxes in these financial statements.                           

     Although Yantra Corporation, USA, is a subsidiary of Infosys as per Section
4 of the Companies Act, 1956, the financial statements have not been  
     consolidated since the company does not have controlling interest envisaged
     by the accounting standard on consolidated financial statements also issued
by the ICAI for mandatory compliance effective April 1, 2001.

1999 Stock Option Plan ("the 1999 Plan")                              

    In fiscal 2000, the company instituted the 1999 Plan. The shareholders and
   the board of directors approved the 1999 Plan in June 1999. The 1999 Plan
provides for the issue of 66,00,000 equity shares to the employees. A 
   compensation committee comprising a maximum of five members, the majority
  of whom are independent directors on the board of directors, administers
    the 1999 Plan. Under the 1999 Plan, options will be issued to employees at
     an exercise price, which shall not be less than the fair market value. Fair
market value is the closing price of the company's shares in the stock
   exchange where there is the highest trading volume on a given date and if
the shares are not traded on that day, the closing price on the next  
trading day.                                                          

    Under the 1999 Plan, options may be issued to employees at exercise prices
   that are less than fair market value only if specifically approved by the
members of the company in a general meeting.

    13.2.16  Pro-forma disclosures relating to the Employee Stock Option Plans
("ESOPs")                                           

     The Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) issued the Employee Stock
    Option Scheme and Employee Stock Purchase Scheme Guidelines in 1999, which
    is applicable to all stock option schemes established on or after June 19,
   1999. In accordance with these guidelines, the excess of the market price
    of the underlying equity shares as of the date of the grant of the options
 over the exercise price of the options, including up-front payments, if
  any, is to be recognized and amortized on a straight-line basis over the
     vesting period. All options under the 1998 and 1999 stock option plans have
   been issued at fair market value, hence, there are no compensation costs.

The company's 1994 stock option plan was established prior to the SEBI
guidelines on stock options.                                          

     Had the stock compensation costs for this stock option plan been determined
 as per the guidelines issued by SEBI, the company's reported net profit

13.2.17  Provision for taxation                                       

 The company's profits from export activities are partly deductible from
    taxable income. However, most of Infosys' operations are conducted through
     100% Export Oriented Units ("EOU"), which are entitled to a tax holiday for
a period of ten years from the date of commencement of operations. The
Government of India amended the tax incentive available to companies  
operating through EOUs. The tenure of tax exemption available to such 
     companies is restricted to 10 consecutive years commencing from the earlier
 of the fiscal year in which the unit commences software development and
    March 31, 2000. Additionally, export-related tax deductions apart from the
    100% EOU scheme earlier described are being phased out by fiscal 2004. The
   provision for taxation includes tax liabilities in India on the company's
    global income as reduced by exempt incomes and any tax liabilities arising
overseas on income sourced from those countries.                      

13.2.18 Cash and bank balances

13.2.24  Segment reporting                                            

 The company's operations predominantly relate to providing IT services,
 delivered to customers globally operating in various industry segments.
Accordingly, IT service revenues represented along industry classes   
comprise the primary basis of segmental information set out in these  
 financial statements. Secondary segmental reporting is performed on the
basis of the geographical location of customers.                      

The accounting principles consistently used in the preparation of the 
financial statements are consistently applied to record revenue and   
expenditure in individual segments, are as set out in the note of     
significant accounting policies.                                      

Industry segments at the company are primarily -- financial services  
 comprising customers providing banking, finance and insurance services;
manufacturing companies; companies in the telecommunications and the  
retailing industries; and others such as utilities, transportation and
logistics companies.                                                  

   Revenue and direct expenses in relation to segments are categorized based
on items that are individually identifiable to that segment, while the
remainder of the costs are categorized in relation to the associated  
    turnover of the segment. Certain expenses such as depreciation, which form
   a significant component of total expenses, are not specifically allocable
   to specific segments as the underlying services are used interchangeably.
     Management believes that it is not practical to provide segment disclosures
  relating to those costs and expenses, and accordingly these expenses are
   separately disclosed as "unallocated" and adjusted only against the total
income of the company.                                                

    Fixed assets used in the company's business or liabilities contracted have
    not been identified to any of the reportable segments, as the fixed assets
     and services are used interchangeably between segments. Management believes
that it is currently not practicable to provide segment disclosures   
    relating to total assets and liabilities since a meaningful segregation of
the available data is onerous.                                        

   Customer relationships are driven based on the location of the respective
   clients. North America comprises the United States of America, Canada and
  Mexico; Europe includes continental Europe (both the east and the west),
  Ireland and the United Kingdom; and the Rest of the World comprising all
other places except, those mentioned above and India.                 

    Geographical revenues are segregated based on the location of the customer
who is invoiced or in relation to which the revenue is otherwise      
recognized.                                                           

13.2.25  Related party transactions                                   

  The company entered into related party transactions during the year with
   Yantra Corporation, USA, the subsidiary of the company and key management
personnel.                                                            

    The transactions with Yantra comprise sales of Rs. 19,64,85,967 during the
year ended March 31, 2001 (previous year - Rs. 11,40,18,373). The     
   outstanding dues from the subsidiary are as set out in schedule 5, Sundry
debtors, to the financial statements.                                 

     Key management personnel are non-director officers of the company, who have
  the authority and responsibility for planning, directing and controlling
the activities of the company. The loans and advances receivable from 
   non-director officers is stated in schedule 7, Loans and advances, to the
financial statements.                                                 

13.2.26  Provisions for doubtful debts                                

 Periodically, management evaluates all customer dues to the company for
collectibility. The need for provisions is assessed based on various  
    factors including collectibility of specific dues, risk perceptions of the
  industry in which the customer operates, general economic factors, which
could affect the customer's ability to settle. The company normally   
   provides for debtor dues outstanding for 180 days or longer. For the year
  ended March 31, 2001, the company has provided for doubtful debts of Rs.
     8,55,48,753 (previous year Rs. Nil) on dues from certain customers although
     the outstanding amounts were less than 180 days old, since the amounts were
    considered doubtful of recovery. Management continues pursuing the parties
for recovery of the dues, in part or full.                            

13.2.27  Dividends remitted in foreign currencies                     

 The company remits dividends in foreign currency only in respect of the
 holders of American Depository Shares ("ADS holders") to the depositary
bank in Indian rupees. The depositary bank is the sole registered     
    shareholder on record for all owners of the company's ADSs. Particulars of
dividends remitted are as follows:

13.2.29  Pro-forma disclosures relating to deferred income taxes      

    The pro-forma amounts based on the following proposed accounting policy in
    conformity with the referred exposure draft issued by the ICAI relating to
accounting for income taxes is given below.                           

 Income taxes are computed using the tax effect accounting method, where
taxes are accrued in the same period the related revenue and expenses 
  arise. The differences that result between the profit offered for income
 taxes and the profit as per the financial statements are identified and
   thereafter a deferred tax asset or deferred tax liability is recorded for
     timing differences, namely the differences that originate in one accounting
 period and reverse in another, based on the tax effect of the aggregate
  amount being considered. The tax effect is calculated on the accumulated
   timing differences at the end of an accounting period based on prevailing
  enacted regulations. Deferred tax assets are recognized only if there is
  reasonable certainty that they will be realized and are reviewed for the
   appropriateness of their respective carrying values at each balance sheet
date.

     At present, the company has only one class of shares. In February 2000, the
company subdivided its equity share of par value Rs. 10 each into two 
   equity shares of par value of Rs. 5 each and the same was approved by the
  shareholders at the Extraordinary General Meeting held in December 1999.
   Due to this, the issued, subscribed and outstanding shares increased from
     3,30,69,400 shares of par value of Rs. 10 each to 6,61,38,800 shares of par
    value of Rs. 5 each. The authorized share capital of the company increased
from 5,00,00,000 equity shares of Rs. 10 par value per share to       
10,00,00,000 equity shares of Rs. 5 par value per share.              

  During the year, 20 employees exercised 12,434 ADSs (equivalent to 6,217
equity shares of par value of Rs. 5 each) issued under the 1998 Stock 
 Option Plan. Also, during the year, 22 employees exercised 1,200 equity
   shares issued under the 1999 Stock Option Plan. Consequently, the issued,
   subscribed and outstanding shares increased by an additional 7,417 equity
 shares. In comparison, during the previous year, 17 employees exercised
     23,800 ADSs (equivalent to 11,900 equity shares of par value of Rs. 5 each)
   issued under the 1998 Stock Option Plan leading to an increase in issued,
  subscribed and outstanding shares by an additional 11,900 equity shares.

2.  Reserves and surplus                                                        

 The addition to the share premium account of Rs. 2,37,48,821 during the
    year is due to the premium received on issue of 7,417 equity shares of par
   value of Rs. 5 each on exercise of options issued under the 1998 and 1999
    Stock Option Plans. During the previous year, an amount of Rs. 1,75,65,777
  was added to the share premium account on account of premium received on
 issue of 11,900 equity shares of par value of Rs. 5 each (equivalent to
     23,800 ADSs) on exercise of options issued under the 1998 Stock Option Plan
     at an exercise price of $ 17 per ADS (adjusted for the stock split of 2:1).

   The reduction in the share premium of Rs. 2,35,06,514 during the previous
     year relates to expenses incurred on issue of ADSs in March 1999. The total
cost related to the issue of American Depositary Shares (ADS) was Rs. 
  19,68,20,929 (which accounted for 6.65% of the gross issue proceeds) and

   years ended March 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively. The increase is due to

 to training and bench, and also a change in the onsite-offshore mix, as
compared to the previous year. The company added 4,442 employees (net)
during the year as compared to 1,623 during the previous year. The

  Foreign travel expenses, representing cost of travel abroad for software
 development and marketing, constituted approximately 8% and 9% of total
revenue for the years ended March 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively.    

Cost of software packages for own use represents the cost of software 
    packages and tools procured for internal use, for enhancing the quality of
  its services and also for meeting the needs of software development. The
cost of software packages purchased for own use has increased by      
  approximately 93% during the year, and was approximately 2% of the total
 revenues for the years ended March 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively. The
company's policy is to charge such purchases to the profit and loss   
accounts in the year of purchase.                                     

A major part of the company's revenue comes from offshore software    
     development. This involves the large-scale use of satellite connectivity in
   order to be online with clients. This represents approximately 2% each of
   total revenues for the years ended March 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively.

The company provided an amount of Rs. 1,83,20,669 and Rs. 2,09,62,627 
 towards post-sales client support for the year ended March 31, 2001 and
    2000, respectively. This represents a provision for post-sales obligations
     of the company in respect of the outstanding fixed-price projects as at the
year-end. This had come down by approximately 13% due to reduction in 
   proportion of fixed-price, fixed-time frame projects to total income from
31.50% during the previous year to 28.20% in the current year.        

The company also utilizes outside consultants for part of its software
development work. During the year, the company spent a sum of Rs.     
   9,19,25,609 towards consultancy as compared to Rs. 2,85,50,034 during the
  previous year, resulting in an increase of 222%. This increase is due to
   increase in number of consultants hired during the year. The company uses
     these consultants mainly to meet mismatch in certain skill sets required in
     various projects and would continue to use external consultants for some of
its project work on a need basis.

    The company has provided for its tax liability both in India and overseas.
    The present Indian corporate tax rate is 39.55% (comprising a base rate of
   35% and a surcharge of 13% on the base rate). Export profits are entitled
to benefit under two

   schemes of the Government of India. Under the first scheme (Section 80HHE
of the Income Tax Act), a proportion of the profits of the company    
     attributable to export activities are deductible from the income subject to
     tax. Under the second scheme, the profits attributable to the operations of
     the company under the 100% export oriented unit scheme -Software Technology
Park (STP) scheme is entitled to a total tax holiday of ten years. A  
   majority of the company's software development centers enjoy the benefits
   under the STP. For the year ended March 31, 2001, approximately 97.30% of
  software revenues came from software development centers operating under
the Software Technology Park Scheme.                                  

   The Government of India has recently amended the tax incentives available
   to companies set up in designated STPs. The period of the STP tax holiday
     available to such companies is restricted to 10 consecutive years beginning
   from the financial year when the unit started producing computer software
     or March 31, 2000, whichever is earlier. Additionally, the export deduction
     under Section 80HHE of the Income Tax Act will be phased out equally over a
period of five years starting fiscal 2000. The details of the         
    operationalization of various software development centers and the year to
    which the exemption under the Software Technology Park Scheme is available

    The company has provided a sum of Rs. 1,40,00,000 and Rs. 24,00,000 during
   the years ended March 31, 2001 and 2000, in respect of tax liabilities of
   earlier years, consequent to the finalization of the tax assessments. The
     additional liability has arisen due to certain disallowances in India which
are contested in appeal, and additional payments overseas.            

 The company pays taxes in various countries in which it operates on the
 income that is sourced to those countries. The details of provision for
taxes are as follows:

The net profit of the company from ordinary activities amounted to Rs.
    623,31,92,341 and Rs. 285,94,85,819 for the years ended March 31, 2001 and
    2000, respectively. This represents 31.80% and 31.03% of total revenue for
     the respective years. Excluding foreign exchange translation differences of
     Rs. 39,62,96,262 (2.02% of revenues) in the current year as compared to Rs.
     18,69,58,099 (2.03% of revenues) in the previous year, the net profit would
 have been Rs. 583,68,96,079 (30.40% of revenues) in the current year as
  compared to Rs. 267,25,27,720 (29.60% of revenues) in the previous year.
Excluding other income of Rs. 59,37,14,915 (3.03% of revenues) in the 
 current year as compared to Rs. 39,14,11,095 (4.25% of revenues) in the
    previous year, the net profit would have been Rs. 563,94,77,426 (29.67% of

revenues) in the previous year.                                       

9.   Excess provision no longer required                                        

     The company instituted a contingency plan effective October 1, 1998 to meet
  any possible disruption in client support due to the Year 2000 impact on
    the technology and communication infrastructure provided to the company by
its vendors. The contingency plan called for the creation of a total  
   provision of Rs. 20.00 crore based on an initial estimate. This provision
was required to be made over six quarters starting October 1998.      
     Accordingly, the company made a total provision of Rs. 9.99 crore up to the
   quarter ended June 30, 1999. At that time, the company was led to believe
    that all its telecommunication service providers were Year 2000 ready, and
     therefore did not expect significant disruption of these facilities. During
    the second quarter of the previous year, the company made an appraisal and
     re-estimated the provision required for meeting such contingencies over the
next two quarters and was of the opinion that the provision already   

EX-13.1 105th Page of 205 TOC 1st Previous Next ↓Bottom Just 105th
made was adequate for the purpose and hence no further provision was  
   required. During the previous year an amount of Rs. 2,42,29,154 was spent
  towards support for the Year 2000 transition activities and the same was
   set-off against the provision made earlier. After such set-off, a balance
  of Rs. 7,56,70,846 remained in the provision account, which was reversed
during the previous year, as this provision was no longer required and
disclosed as an extraordinary item in the profit and loss account.    

10.  Extraordinary item                                                         

  Infosys announced an incubation scheme for its employees to launch their
   own ventures while continuing to derive benefits from a close association
    with the company. Infosys launched Yantra in 1996 under this scheme, which
   is in the e-fulfillment space. Infosys had piloted another such venture -
OnMobile Systems Inc. (formerly Onscan Inc.), which is in the wireless
   space. During the year, the company transferred its intellectual property
rights in the Onscan product - a web-enabled notification product to  
     OnMobile Systems Inc. The product was transferred for a gross consideration
of Rs. 8.93 crore (US$ 2 million), received in the form of equity,    
  preferred voting and preferred non-voting securities of OnMobile Systems
Inc. The income from the transfer of Rs. 5.49 crore (net of tax) is   
disclosed as an extraordinary item in the profit and loss account.    

11.  Foreign exchange differences                                               

    An amount of Rs. 39.63 crore and Rs. 18.70 crore is included in the profit
and loss accounts for the years ended March 31, 2001 and 2000,        
   respectively, representing the realized and unrealized exchange gains due
   to currency fluctuation. This represents 2.02% of total revenues for both
the years ended March 31, 2001 and 2000.                              

12.  1994 Employee Stock Offer Plan                                             

    The company instituted an Employee Stock Offer Plan (ESOP) in 1994 for all
    eligible employees. Under the plan, warrants were transferred to employees
deemed eligible by the advisory board constituted for the purpose.    
 Accordingly, 60,00,000 warrants (as adjusted for the 1:1 bonus issue in
   October 1997 and March 1999 and 2-for-1stock split in February 2000) were
     issued by the company to the Infosys Technologies Limited Employees Welfare
    Trust, to be held in trust and transferred to selected employees from time
to time. Warrants were issued at Re. 0.50 each and entitled the holder
   thereof to apply for and be issued one equity share of par value of Rs. 5
  each at a price of Rs. 50, after a period of five years from the date of
   issue. The warrants and the shares to be issued were subject to a lock-in
period of five years from the date of issue. The warrants expire on   
September 30, 1999, and are convertible before their expiration. All  
warrants were converted into shares.                                  

Under the ESOP scheme, the warrant holders are entitled to convert the
    warrants before any bonus or rights issue. The company issued bonus shares
  in the ratio of 1:1 during October 1997 and March 1999. Accordingly, the
warrant holders, including the Trust and the employees, were given an 
option to convert their warrants and all warrants were converted into 
   shares. They were also issued bonus shares, being holders of shares as on
     the record date. The company effected a stock-split (i.e., a subdivision of
  every equity share of par value of Rs. 10 each into two equity shares of
  par value of Rs. 5 each) in February 2000. The number of warrants issued
and shares outstanding, after adjusting for the 2-for-1 stock split in
fiscal 2000, is given below:

13.  1998 Employee Stock Option plan (1998 plan)                                

    One of the objectives of the American Depositary Share (ADS) issue and the
consequent listing on the NASDAQ stock exchange was to institute an   
   ADS-linked stock option plan to attract the best and the brightest across
     the world. The necessary resolutions authorizing the board to formulate the
scheme was approved by the shareholders in the Extraordinary General  
 Meeting held on January 6, 1999. Accordingly, your directors had put in
place an ADS-linked stock option plan termed as the "1998 Stock Option
   Plan". The compensation committee of the board administers the 1998 plan.
   The Government of India has approved the 1998 plan, subject to a limit of
   14,70,000 equity shares of par value of Rs. 5 each representing 29,40,000
    ADSs to be issued under the plan. The plan is effective for a period of 10
years from the date of its adoption by the board. The compensation    
committee of the board shall determine the exercise price for the     
     ADS-linked stock option, which will not be less than 90% of the fair market
value on the date of grant.

14.  1999 Employee Stock Option Plan (1999 plan)                                

The shareholders approved the 1999 plan in June 1999. The 1999 plan   
  provides for the issue of 66,00,000 equity shares to employees, adjusted
     for the recent stock split. The 1999 plan is administered by a compensation
committee of the board comprising of five members, all of whom are    
independent directors on the board of directors. Under the 1999 plan, 
 options were issued to employees at an exercise price not less than the
fair market value. Fair market value means the closing price of the   
   company's shares on the stock exchange where there is the highest trading
   volume on the date of grant and if the shares are not traded on that day,
     the closing price on the next trading day. Under the 1999 plan, options may
     also be granted to employees at exercise prices that are less than the fair
     market value only if specifically approved by the members of the company in
a general meeting.

15.  Reconciliation of Indian and US GAAP financial statements                  

 There are differences between the US GAAP and the Indian GAAP financial
statements. The material differences arise due to the provision for   
    deferred taxes and provision for deferred compensation due to the issue of
     stock options to employees. The reconciliation of profits as per the Indian
and the US GAAP financial statements is given below.

Amortization of deferred stock compensation                           

The Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 of US GAAP requires the
accounting of deferred stock compensation on issue of stock options to
 employees, being the difference between the exercise price and the fair
    value as determined by the quoted market prices of the common stock on the
grant date. In complying with this requirement, Infosys has charged to
     revenue under US GAAP an amount of Rs. 23.26 crore for the year ended March
31, 2001 as deferred stock compensation.

Provision for e-inventing the company                                 

     The company had made a provision towards e-inventing under Indian GAAP. The
    expenses incurred towards e-inventing the company were set off against the
provision in the Indian GAAP financial statements. Under US GAAP, this
amount was charged to the income statement.                           

Provision for retirement benefits                                     

     The provision for gratuity represents the valuation performed in accordance
with US GAAP.                                                         

Transfer of intellectual property rights

Deferred income tax provision                                         

US GAAP mandates that the tax element arising on timing differences in
  amortizing various Assets and Liabilities as per tax books and financial
   statements be accounted as deferred taxation and appropriate treatment be
 made in the income statement. There is no such requirement under Indian
GAAP.                                                                 

16.  Employee stock compensation under SFAS 123                                 

     Statement of Financial Accounting Standards 123, Accounting for Stock Based
  Compensation, requires the proforma disclosure of the impact of the fair
  value method of accounting for employee stock valuation in the financial
statements. The fair value of a stock option is determined using an   
   option-pricing model that takes into account the stock price at the grant
   date, the exercise price, the expected life of the option, the volatility
     of the underlying stock and the expected dividends on it, and the risk-free
     interest rate over the expected life of the option. Applying the fair value
     based method defined in SFAS 123, the impact on the reported net profit and
basic earnings per share would be as follows:

7    NOTES ON THE CASH FLOW STATEMENT                                           

7.1  Cash flows have been reported using the indirect method, whereby the net   
     profit is adjusted for the effects of transactions of a non-cash nature and
any deferrals or accruals of past or future cash receipts or payments,
   segregating between cash flows from regular revenue generating, financing
   and investing activities of the company. Cash flows in foreign currencies
     are accounted at average monthly exchange rates that approximate the actual
rates of exchange prevailing at the dates of the transactions.        

7.2  During the year ended March 31, 2001, the company transferred intellectual 
property rights in Onscan - a web-based wireless enabled notification 
  product, to OnMobile Systems Inc. (formerly Onscan Inc.), USA, a company
     incubated by Infosys. The product was transferred for a gross consideration
of Rs. 8,93,40,000 (approximately US$ 2,000,000) received as equity,  
preferred and non-voting securities in OnMobile Systems Inc., and     
accordingly, is not considered in this statement of cash flows.

1.   Overview                                                                   

    Infosys, an India-based IT consulting and services company formed in 1981,
 provides end-to-end consulting for global corporations. The company has
     partnered with several Fortune 500 and emerging companies in building their
next generation information infrastructure for competitive advantage. 
Infosys' portfolio of services includes e-strategy consulting and     
solutions, maintenance and re-engineering services, large application 
   development and enterprise integration services. Infosys also has product
co-development initiatives with numerous communication and Internet   
infrastructure companies that are creating the building blocks of the 
digital economy. In addition, the company develops and markets certain
software products. The company utilizes an extensive offshore         
  infrastructure including dedicated offshore software development centers
    ("OSDCs") to provide managed software solutions to clients worldwide. From
fiscal 1997 through fiscal 2001, total revenue increased from $ 39.6  
million to $ 413.8 million, the number of the company's software      
     professionals worldwide increased from approximately 1,410 to approximately
8,660, and the number of its India-based software development centers 
   increased from six to sixteen. The company also operationalized proximity
 development centers in Croydon in the UK and in Chicago, New Jersey and
  Phoenix in the U.S. in fiscal 2001, and one global development center in
     Toronto, Canada and two proximity development centers in Fremont and Boston
in the U.S. in fiscal 2000.                                           

 The company's revenues are generated principally from software services
    provided either on a fixed-price, fixed-time frame or a time-and-materials
  basis. Revenues from services provided on a time-and-materials basis are
  recognized in the month that services are provided and related costs are
incurred. Revenues from services provided on a fixed-price, fixed-time
 frame basis are recognized upon the achievement of specified milestones
   identified in the related contracts, in accordance with the percentage of
 completion method. Cost of completion estimates are subject to periodic
revisions. Although the company has revised its project completion    
estimates from time to time, such revisions have not, to date, had a  
 material adverse effect on the company's operating results or financial
    condition. Since the company bears the risk of cost overruns and inflation
   with respect to its fixed-price, fixed-time frame projects, the company's
  operating results could be adversely affected by inaccurate estimates of
 contract completion costs and dates, including wage inflation rates and
    currency exchange rates that may affect cost projections. The company also
    develops and markets certain software products, including banking software
 that is licensed primarily to clients in Asia and Africa. Such software
 products represented 2.5% of total revenues in fiscal 2001. The company
    derived 73.5% of its total revenues from North America, 18.8% from Europe,
1.4% from India and 6.3% from the rest of the world in fiscal 2001.   

    In fiscal 2001 and fiscal 2000, the company derived 28.4% and 13.6% of its
     total revenues, respectively, from Internet and e-commerce projects. Due to
shorter time-to-market considerations, e-commerce projects necessitate
 higher interaction with clients. This results in a higher proportion of
  services being performed at client sites. Services performed at a client
site typically generate higher per-capita revenues, but lower gross   
   margins, than the same quantum of services performed at the company's own
     facilities in India. Consequently, any increase in work at client sites can
decrease the gross margins of the company.                            

Cost of revenues primarily consists of salary and other compensation  
     expenses, depreciation, data communications expenses, computer maintenance,
     cost of software purchased for internal use, certain pre-operating expenses
for new software development centers, and foreign travel expenses. The
company depreciates personal computers and servers over two years and 
   mainframe computers over three years. Third party software is expensed in
the period in which it is acquired.                                   

     The company assumes full project management responsibility for each project
that it undertakes. Approximately 66.0% of the work on a project is   
     performed at the company's facilities in India, and the balance of the work
  is performed at the client site. The proportion of work performed at the
    company facilities and at client sites varies from quarter to quarter. The
  company charges higher rates and incurs higher compensation expenses for
work performed at the client site. Services performed at a client site
    typically generate higher revenues per-capita, but at lower gross margins,
    than the same quantum of services performed at the company's facilities in
India. As a result, total revenues, cost of revenues and              

EX-13.1 118th Page of 205 TOC 1st Previous Next ↓Bottom Just 118th
    gross profit in absolute terms and, as a percentage of revenues, fluctuate
    from quarter to quarter based on the proportion of work performed offshore
at company facilities and at client sites.                            

     Revenues and gross profits are also affected by employee utilization rates.
   Utilization rates depend, among other factors, on the number of employees
     enrolled for in-house training programs, particularly the 14 week classroom
     training courses provided to new employees. Since a large percentage of new
  hires begin their training in the second quarter, utilization rates have
    historically been lower in the second and third quarters of a fiscal year.

  Selling and marketing expenses primarily consist of expenses relating to
 advertisements, brand building, rentals of sales and marketing offices,
    salaries of marketing personnel, and traveling and conveyance. General and
administrative expenses comprise expenses relating to communications, 
 finance and administration, legal and professional charges, management,
rent, salary and other compensation, travel, and miscellaneous        
administrative costs.                                                 

Other income includes interest income, income from the sale of special
import licenses and foreign currency exchange gains. Under the then   
export-import policy of the Government of India, exports by Indian    
companies generate credits for the exporter called "special import    
licenses". These credits can be sold or used for the import of goods  
    included on a "restricted list" maintained by the Government of India. The
 company's general policy is to sell such special import licenses in the
  period in which it receives such credits. However, the new export-import
  policy announced by the Government of India in fiscal 2001 has abolished
    the scheme providing for benefit in the form of special import licenses to
  all exporters and accordingly all exports made on or after April 1, 2000
will not get the benefits.                                            

   The company also intends to substantially expand its software development
   infrastructure in India. The company had committed $ 34.0 million towards
  various capital expenditure as on March 31, 2001. The company intends to
   spend approximately $ 80.0 million on various capital expenditures during
fiscal 2002 and intends to use its internal accruals to fund this     
expansion.                                                            

2.   Results of operations                                                      

2.1  Fiscal year ended March 31, 2001 compared to fiscal year ended March 31,   
2000                                                                  

     Revenues. Total revenues were $ 413.8 million for fiscal 2001, representing
 an increase of $ 210.4 million or 103.4% over total revenues of $ 203.4
  million for fiscal 2000. This increase is attributable to an increase in
     volumes of business transacted of $ 126.1 million or 62.0%, and an increase
    in prices at which contracts were executed in the amount of $ 84.3 million
   or 41.4%. Revenues continued to increase in all segments of the company's
services. Custom software development, re-engineering, maintenance and
 software development through OSDCs formed the majority of the company's
revenues. The increase in revenues was attributable, in part, to a    
 substantial increase in business from certain existing clients and from
     certain new clients, particularly in the telecom and insurance, banking and
financial services industries. Revenues from telecom clients comprised
     18.4% of revenues in fiscal 2001 as compared to 15.4% of revenues in fiscal
2000. Revenues from insurance, banking and financial services clients 
comprised 33.7% and 30.1% of revenues in fiscal 2001 and 2000,        
 respectively. Revenue growth was also attributable to an increase in e-
  commerce related revenues, which represented 28.4% of total revenues for
fiscal 2001 as compared to 13.6% of total revenues in fiscal 2000. Net
    sales of FINACLE(TM) and other products represented 2.5% of total revenues
     for fiscal 2001 as compared to 2.6% for fiscal 2000. Revenues from services
  represented 97.5% of total revenues for fiscal 2001 as compared to 97.4%
    for fiscal 2000. Revenues from fixed-price, fixed-time frame contracts and
from time-and-materials contracts represented 28.2% and 71.8%,        
  respectively, of total revenues for fiscal 2001 as compared to 31.5% and
68.5%, respectively, for fiscal 2000. Revenues from North America and 
 Europe represented 73.5% and 18.8%, respectively, of total revenues for
     fiscal 2001, as compared to 78.0% and 14.8%, respectively, for fiscal 2000.

 Cost of revenues. Cost of revenues was $ 213.6 million for fiscal 2001,
representing an increase of 92.2% over the cost of revenues of $ 111.1
   million for fiscal 2000. The cost of revenues represented 51.6% and 54.6%
    of total revenues for fiscal 2001 and 2000, respectively. This decrease in
 costs as a percentage of total revenues was attributable to a favorable
  business mix and a decrease in depreciation and software expenses, which
     represented 7.6% and 7.9% of total revenues in fiscal 2001 and fiscal 2000,
     respectively, as well as a decrease in overseas short-term allowances which
represented 26.0% and 26.4% of revenues in fiscal 2001 and 2000,      
respectively.                                                         

  Gross profit. As a result of the foregoing, the gross profit was $ 200.2
    million for fiscal 2001, representing an increase of 116.7% over the gross
profit of $ 92.4 million for fiscal 2000. As a percentage of total    
  revenues, the gross profit increased to 48.4% for fiscal 2001 from 45.4%
     for fiscal 2000. This increase was attributable to a favorable business mix
 and a decrease in depreciation and software expenses as a percentage of
    total revenue due to improved infrastructure utilization and a decrease in
overseas short-term allowances.                                       

Sales and marketing expenses. Sales and marketing expenses were $ 20.7
 million for fiscal 2001, an increase of 115.6% over sales and marketing
expenses of $ 9.6 million for fiscal 2000. As a percentage of total   
 revenues, the sales and marketing expenses increased to 5.0% for fiscal
     2001 from 4.7% for fiscal 2000. The number of sales offices increased to 25
  as on March 31, 2001 from 20 as on March 31, 2000. The increase in sales
  and marketing expenses as a percentage of revenues was due to additional
 sales offices opened during the year and also due to an increase in the
   number of marketing personnel, which increased to 105 in fiscal 2001 from
62 in fiscal 2000.                                                    

  General and administrative expenses. General and administrative expenses
     were $ 36.9 million for fiscal 2001, an increase of 115.8% over general and

EX-13.1 119th Page of 205 TOC 1st Previous Next ↓Bottom Just 119th
administrative expenses of $ 17.1 million for fiscal 2000. General and
 administrative expenses were 8.9% and 8.4% of total revenues for fiscal
2001 and 2000, respectively. This marginal increase in general and    
administrative expense as a percentage of revenues was a result of    
  increases in management, finance, administrative, and occupancy costs in
fiscal 2001, due to an increase in the scale of operations.           

Amortization of deferred stock compensation expense. Amortization of  
   deferred stock compensation expense was $ 5.1 million in both fiscal 2001
and 2000, respectively.                                               

     Operating income. The operating income was $ 137.5 million for fiscal 2001,
an increase of 127.3% over the operating income of $ 60.5 million for 
 fiscal 2000. As a percentage of revenues, operating income increased to
33.2% for fiscal 2001 from 29.7% for fiscal 2000. Excluding the       
   amortization of deferred stock compensation expense, the operating margin
was 34.5% for fiscal 2001 as compared to 32.3% for fiscal 2000.       

     Other income. Other income was $ 9.5 million for fiscal 2001 as compared to
    $ 9.0 million for fiscal 2000. This increase in other income was due to an
   increase in interest income in the amount of $ 2.8 million resulting from
   the investment of a larger cash balance and $ 1.5 million due to increase
   in exchange differences on translation of foreign currency deposits. This
increase is offset by a decrease in other income due to provision for 
investments aggregating $ 3.5 million in EC Cubed Inc. and Alpha Thinx
   Mobile Services AG, two companies in which the company has made strategic
    investments, and a decrease in income from sale of special import licences
in the amount of $ 0.4 million.                                       

   Provision for income taxes. Provision for income taxes was $ 15.1 million
     for fiscal 2001 as compared to $ 8.2 million for fiscal 2000. The company's
    effective tax rate decreased to 10.3% for fiscal 2001 as compared to 11.8%
    for fiscal 2000. The reduction in the effective tax rate in fiscal 2001 is
due to a decrease in the Indian tax liability resulting from a higher 
     proportion of the company's operations qualifying for Indian tax exemptions
applicable to designated Software Technology Parks.                   

     Net income. The net income was $ 131.9 million for fiscal 2001, an increase
of 115.2% over the net income of $ 61.3 million for fiscal 2000. As a 
    percentage of total revenues, the net income increased to 31.9% for fiscal
2001 from 30.1% for fiscal 2000.                                      

2.2  Fiscal year ended March 31, 2000 compared to fiscal year ended March 31,   
1999                                                                  

     Revenues. Total revenues were $ 203.4 million for fiscal 2000, representing
an increase of $ 82.4 million or 68.2% over total revenues of $ 121.0 
  million for fiscal 1999. This increase is attributable to an increase in
    volumes of business transacted of $ 60.0 million or 49.6%, and an increase
    in prices at which contracts were executed in the amount of $ 22.4 million
   or 18.6%. Revenues continued to increase in all segments of the company's
services. Custom software development, re-engineering, maintenance and
software development through OSDCs formed a majority of the company's 
revenues. The increase in revenues was attributable, in part, to a    
 substantial increase in business from certain existing clients and from
     certain new clients, particularly in the telecom and insurance, banking and
financial services industries. Revenues from telecom clients comprised
     15.4% of revenues in fiscal 2000 as compared to 14.2% of revenues in fiscal
1999. Revenues from insurance, banking and financial services clients 
comprised 30.1% and 23.3% of revenues in fiscal 2000 and 1999,        
 respectively. Revenue growth was also attributable to an increase in e-
 commerce related revenues which represented 13.6% of total revenues for
     fiscal 2000 as compared to 3.7% of total revenues in fiscal 1999. Net sales
  of FINACLE(TM) and other products represented 2.6% of total revenues for
 fiscal 2000 as compared to 3.2% for fiscal 1999. Revenues from services
  represented 97.4% of total revenues for fiscal 2000 as compared to 96.8%
    for fiscal 1999. Revenues from fixed-price, fixed-time frame contracts and
from time-and-materials contracts represented 31.5% and 68.5%,        
  respectively, of total revenues for fiscal 2000 as compared to 36.7% and
63.3%, respectively, for fiscal 1999. Revenues from North America and 
 Europe represented 78.0% and 14.8%, respectively, of total revenues for
  fiscal 2000 as compared to 82.0% and 9.3% respectively, for fiscal 1999.

 Cost of revenues. Cost of revenues was $ 111.1 million for fiscal 2000,
representing an increase of 70.0% over the cost of revenues of $ 65.3 
   million for fiscal 1999. The cost of revenues represented 54.6% and 54.0%
 of total revenues for fiscal 2000 and 1999, respectively. This marginal
    increase in costs as a percentage of total revenues was attributable to an
increase in provision for a defined benefit plan for employees. The   
     increase was partially offset by a favorable business mix and a decrease in
 depreciation and software expenses, which represented 7.9% and 10.0% of
total revenues in fiscal 2000 and 1999, respectively.                 

 Gross profit. As a result of the foregoing, the gross profit was $ 92.4
   million for fiscal 2000, representing an increase of 66.1% over the gross
profit of $ 55.6 million for fiscal 1999. As a percentage of total    
  revenues, the gross profit decreased to 45.4% for fiscal 2000 from 46.0%
   for fiscal 1999. This decrease was attributable to higher provision for a
defined benefit plan for employees, which was partially offset by a   
     favorable business mix and a decrease in depreciation and software expenses
as a percentage of total revenue due to improved infrastructure       
utilization.                                                          

Sales and marketing expenses. Sales and marketing expenses were $ 9.6 
million for fiscal 2000, an increase of 95.1% over sales and marketing
expenses of $ 4.9 million for fiscal 1999. As a percentage of total   
 revenues, the sales and marketing expenses increased to 4.7% for fiscal
     2000 from 4.1% for fiscal 1999. The number of sales offices increased to 20
  as on March 31, 2000 from 16 as on March 31, 1999. The increase in sales
 and marketing expense as a percentage of revenues was due to additional
    sales offices opened during the year and also an increase in the number of
    marketing personnel which increased to 62 in fiscal 2000 from 39 in fiscal
1999

  General and administrative expenses. General and administrative expenses
    were $ 17.1 million for fiscal 2000, an increase of 51.9% over general and
administrative expenses of $ 11.3 million for fiscal 1999. General and
     administrative expenses were 8.4% and 9.3% of total revenue for fiscal 2000
     and 1999, respectively. This decrease in general and administrative expense
as a percentage of revenues was a result of the company's ability to  
increase revenues in fiscal 2000 without a corresponding increase in  
management, finance, administrative and occupancy costs.              

Amortization of deferred stock compensation expense. Amortization of  
  deferred stock compensation expense was $ 5.1 million for fiscal 2000, a
    decrease of 69.1% over amortization of deferred stock compensation expense
of $ 16.6 million for fiscal 1999. Compensation expense increased     
   marginally for new grants of stock purchase rights in part because of the
rising market price of the equity shares. In fiscal 1999, the company 
     recognized an accelerated charge of $ 12.9 million as part of the company's
     1998 stock dividend. The equity shares issued to Employee Stock Option Plan
    (ESOP) participants in connection with the stock dividend were not subject
   to vesting and as a result, one-half of the deferred compensation expense
   that would have been amortized over the remaining vesting periods for the
    equity shares issued under the ESOP was accelerated and charged to expense
in fourth quarter of fiscal 1999.                                     

    Operating income. The operating income was $ 60.5 million for fiscal 2000,
an increase of 164.5% over the operating income of $ 22.9 million for 
 fiscal 1999. As a percentage of revenues, operating income increased to
29.7% for fiscal 2000 from 18.9% for fiscal 1999. Excluding the       
   amortization of deferred stock compensation expense, the operating margin
was 32.3% for fiscal 2000 as compared to 32.6% for fiscal 1999.       

     Other income. Other income was $ 9.0 million for fiscal 2000 as compared to
    $ 1.5 million for fiscal 1999. This increase in other income was due to an
    increase in interest income resulting from the investment of a larger cash
     balance, partly arising out of proceeds of the ADS issue during March 1999.
     The increase in other income during fiscal 2000 also included $ 0.4 million
arising out of income from sale of special import licenses and $ 2.9  
million due to exchange differences on translation of foreign currency
deposits which were Nil during fiscal 1999.                           

  Provision for income taxes. Provision for income taxes was $ 8.2 million
     for fiscal 2000 as compared to $ 4.9 million for fiscal 1999. The company's
    effective tax rate decreased to 11.8% for fiscal 2000 as compared to 21.8%
for fiscal 1999. The effective tax rate after adjusting for a one-time
 accelerated compensation charge arising out of the company's 1998 stock
     dividend, which reduced the pre-tax income substantially in fiscal 1999, is
   13.8%. The reduction in the effective tax rate in fiscal 2000 is due to a
    decrease in the Indian tax liability resulting from a higher proportion of
     the company's operations qualifying for Indian tax exemptions applicable to
designated Software Technology Parks.                                 

    Net income. The net income was $ 61.3 million for fiscal 2000, an increase
of 251.6% over the net income of $ 17.4 million for fiscal 1999. As a 
    percentage of total revenues, the net income increased to 30.1% for fiscal
   2000 from 14.4% for fiscal 1999. The net income for fiscal 2000 of $ 61.3
    million is 102.1% more than $ 30.4 million in fiscal 1999, after adjusting
   for a one-time accelerated compensation charge of $ 12.9 million, arising
out of company's 1998 stock dividend which reduced the net income     
substantially in fiscal 1999.                                         

2.3  Liquidity and capital resources                                            

 The growth of the company has been financed largely from cash generated
     from operations and, to a lesser extent, from the proceeds of equity issues
    and borrowings. In 1993, the company raised approximately $ 4.4 million in
    gross aggregate proceeds from its initial public offering of equity shares
    on Indian stock exchanges. In 1994, the company raised an additional $ 7.7
million through private placements of its equity shares with foreign  
institutional investors, mutual funds, Indian domestic financial      
institutions and corporations. As on March 31, 2001, the company had $
124.1 million in cash and cash equivalents, $ 176.2 million in working
   capital and no outstanding bank borrowings. The company's treasury policy
    calls for investing only in highly rated banks, financial institutions and
  companies for short maturities with a limit for individual entities. The
    company retains the money both in rupee and foreign currency accounts. The
   bank balances in overseas accounts are maintained to meet the expenditure
of the overseas branches in the U.S. and other countries, and to meet 
project-related expenditure overseas.                                 

Net cash provided by operating activities was $ 137.5 million, $ 71.4 
     million and $ 40.1 million in fiscal 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively. Net
  cash provided by operations consisted primarily of net income offset, in
part, by an increase in accounts receivable. Accounts receivable as a 
    percentage of total revenue, represented 15.7%, 15.4% and 16.6% for fiscal
2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively. The company's policy on accounts   
    receivable includes a periodic review of all such outstanding. The company
reviews the age, amount, and quality of each account receivable; the  
   relationship with, size of, and history of the client; and the quality of
service delivered by the company for the client to determine the      
   classification of an account receivable. Should the review so demand, the
     company classifies accounts receivable into secured and unsecured accounts,
further sub-classified between good and doubtful accounts. The company
     makes provisions for all accounts receivable classified as doubtful and for
all accounts receivable that are outstanding for more than 180 days.  

     Prepaid expenses and other current assets increased by $ 2.2 million, $ 2.4
    million and $ 2.0 million during fiscal 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively.
The increase in fiscal 2001 was primarily due to an increase in rental
 deposits for the new software development centers, prepaid expenses and
  costs in excess of billings. Costs in excess of billings represent costs
     incurred on fixed-price contracts in respect of which milestones are yet to
   be achieved. The increase in fiscal 2000 and 1999 was primarily due to an
  increase in rental deposits for the new software development centers and
     prepaid expenses. Income taxes payable decreased by $ 2.0 million in fiscal
 2001 primarily due to higher advance tax payments made during the year.

EX-13.1 121st Page of 205 TOC 1st Previous Next ↓Bottom Just 121st
Unearned revenue as of March 31, 2001 and 2000 consists primarily of  
advance client billings on fixed-price, fixed-time frame contracts for
  which related costs were not yet incurred. The proportion of fixed-price
   contracts under which the company was entitled to bill clients in advance
increased as of March 31, 2001 over the previous year.                

   Net cash used in investing activities was $ 106.7 million, $ 45.7 million
  and $ 17.0 million in fiscal 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively. Net cash
   used in investing activities in fiscal 2001 consisted primarily of $ 96.8
million for property, plant and equipment, loans to employees of $ 4.1
  million and purchase of investments amounting to $ 5.9 million. Net cash
   used in investing activities in fiscal 2000 consisted primarily of $ 35.9
million for property, plant and equipment, loans to employees of $ 6.8
  million and purchase of investments amounting to $ 3.0 million. Net cash
   used in investing activities in fiscal 1999 primarily consisted of $ 16.1
   million for property, plant and equipment and loans to employees of $ 2.2
     million, offset by proceeds from the sale of investment in Yantra amounting
to $ 1.5 million.                                                     

EX-13.1 122nd Page of 205 TOC 1st Previous Next ↓Bottom Just 122nd
Publicly-traded Indian companies customarily pay dividends. For fiscal
    2001, the company declared and paid a dividend of $ 5.0 million. The board
  of directors also declared a dividend of $ 10.6 million at their meeting
held on April 11, 2001, which is subject to the approval of the       
  stockholders in the annual general meeting. For fiscal 2000, the company
    declared a dividend of $ 7.1 million, which was paid partly in fiscal 2000
     and partly in fiscal 2001. For fiscal 1999, the company declared a dividend
     of $ 3.2 million, which was paid partly in fiscal 1999 and partly in fiscal
2000.                                                                 

   As on March 31, 2001, the company had contractual commitments for capital
     expenditure of $ 34.0 million. The company intends to spend approximately $
     80.0 million on various capital expenditure during fiscal 2002 and the same
     would be met out of the internal accruals of the company. In the opinion of
  the company, the working capital is sufficient for the company's present
requirements.                                                         

2.4  Foreign currency market risk                                               

 Market risks relating to the company's operations result primarily from
changes in interest rates and changes in foreign exchange rates. The  
    company's functional currency is the Indian rupee; however, it transacts a
 major portion of its business in foreign currencies and accordingly has
foreign currency exposure through its sales in the United States and  
    purchases from overseas suppliers in U.S. dollars. In its U.S. operations,
 the company does not actively hedge against exchange rate fluctuations,
although it may elect to do so in the future. Accordingly, changes in 
exchange rates may have a material adverse effect on the company's net
 sales, cost of services sold, gross margin and net income, any of which
     alone or in the aggregate may in turn have a material adverse effect on the
     company's business, operating results and financial condition. The exchange
 rate between the rupee and the U.S. dollar has changed substantially in
recent years and may fluctuate substantially in the future. During the
   four-year period from March 31, 1997 through March 31, 2001, the value of
the rupee against the U.S. dollar declined by approximately 29.8%. For
    fiscal 2001, 2000 and 1999, the company's U.S. dollar-denominated revenues
  represented 89.6%, 88.3% and 88.1%, respectively, of total revenues. The
company expects that a majority of its revenues will continue to be   
     generated in U.S. dollars for the foreseeable future and that a significant
 portion of the company's expenses, including personnel costs as well as
capital and operating expenditures, will continue to be denominated in
     rupees. Consequently, the company's results of operations will be adversely
   affected to the extent the rupee appreciates against the U.S. dollar. The
  company has sought to reduce the effect of exchange rate fluctuations on
     operating results by purchasing foreign exchange forward contracts to cover
   a portion of outstanding accounts receivable on a need basis. As of March
    31, 2001, the company had outstanding forward contracts in the amount of $
   20 million. These contracts typically mature within three months, must be
   settled on the day of maturity and may be canceled subject to the payment
     of any gains or losses in the difference between the contract exchange rate
    and the market exchange rate on the date of cancellation. The company uses
these instruments only as a hedging mechanism and not for speculative 
purposes. There can be no assurance that the company will purchase    
    contracts adequate to insulate itself from foreign exchange currency risks
    or that any such contracts will perform adequately as a hedging mechanism.
Devaluation of the rupee will result in foreign currency translation  
losses. For example, for fiscal 2001 and 2000, the company's foreign  
 currency translation losses were approximately $ 14.5 million and $ 5.0
million, respectively.                                                

2.5  Reconciliation between Indian and U.S. GAAP                                

     There are material differences between the financial statements prepared as
   per Indian and U.S. GAAP. The material differences arise due to provision
for deferred taxes, accounting for stock-based compensation,          
   non-recognition of unrealized gains on transfers of intellectual property
 rights and consolidation of accounts of subsidiary, as required by U.S.
GAAP. Indian GAAP does not require provision for deferred taxes,      
   amortization of deferred stock compensation and consolidation of accounts
of subsidiaries, and permits the recognition of unrealized gains on   
transfers of intellectual property rights in the financial statements.

Reconciliation of net income

2.6   Investment in Yantra Corporation                                          

 Prior to October 20, 1998, the company owned a majority of the voting
   stock of Yantra. Consequently, all of Yantra's operating losses through
    October 20, 1998 were recognized in the company's consolidated financial
      statements. For fiscal 1998 and fiscal 1999, Yantra's losses recognized in
    the company's financial statements were $ 1.6 million and $ 2.0 million,
     respectively. On October 20, 1998, the company sold a portion of Yantra's
     shares held by it, thereby reducing its interest to less than one-half of
the voting stock of Yantra. The company continues to own all of the 
   outstanding common stock of Yantra, but has no financial obligations or
      commitments to Yantra and does not intend to provide Yantra with financial
  support. Accordingly, Yantra's results after October 20, 1998 were not
      recognized in the company's financial statements under U.S. GAAP. Yantra's
     revenues were $ 1.3 million and $ 2.0 million for fiscal 1998 and for the
   period ended October 20, 1998, respectively, while gross profits were $
 574,000 and $ 546,000, respectively, for these same periods. Yantra's
     revenues were 1.9% and 2.3% of the company's revenues for fiscal 1998 and
  for the period ended October 20, 1998, respectively. Its gross profits
     were 2.0% and 1.4% of the company's gross profits for these same periods.
Yantra currently provides e-commerce operations solutions through   
   PureEcommerce, a scalable web-based solution that facilitates real-time
  transaction management across the extraprise. On June 14, 1999, Yantra
      sold Series C Convertible Preferred Stock in the amount of $ 15 million to
unrelated existing and new investors, further reducing the company's
     voting control to approximately 25%. In fiscal 2001, Yantra sold Series D
  Convertible Preferred Stock in the amount of $ 49 million to unrelated
    existing and new investors further reducing the company's voting control
to approximately 16% on a fully diluted basis.                      

2.7   Principles of currency translation                                        

  In fiscal 2001, over 96.6% of the company's revenues were generated in
      U.S. dollars and European currencies. A majority of the company's expenses
     were incurred in rupees, and the balance was incurred in U.S. dollars and
     European currencies. The functional currency of the company is the Indian
      rupee. Revenues generated in foreign currencies are translated into Indian
rupees using the exchange rate prevailing on the dates revenues are 
      recognized. Expenses of overseas operations incurred in foreign currencies
    are translated into Indian rupees at either the monthly average exchange
    rate or the exchange rate on the date the expense is incurred, depending
     on the source of payment. Assets and liabilities of foreign branches held
   in foreign currency are translated into Indian rupees at the end of the
applicable reporting period. For U.S. GAAP reporting, the financial 
 statements are translated into U.S. dollars using the average monthly
      exchange rate for revenues and expenses and the period end rate for assets
      and liabilities. The gains or losses from such translation are reported as
"Other comprehensive income", a separate component of stockholders' 
     equity. The company expects that a majority of its revenues will continue
 to be generated in U.S. dollars for the foreseeable future and that a
    significant portion of the company's expenses, including personnel costs
as well as capital and operating expenditures, will continue to be  
    denominated in rupees. Consequently, the company's results of operations
will be adversely affected to the extent that the rupee appreciates 
against the U.S. dollar.                                            

2.8   Income tax matters                                                        

    The company benefits from certain significant tax incentives provided to
     software firms under Indian tax laws. These incentives presently include:
(i) an exemption from payment of Indian corporate income taxes for a
period of ten consecutive years of operation of software development
facilities designated as "Software Technology Parks" (the "STP Tax  
  Holiday"); and (ii) a tax deduction for profits derived from exporting
    computer software (the "Export Deduction"). All but one of the company's
software development facilities are located in a designated Software
 Technology Park. The Government of India has recently amended the tax
      incentives available to companies set up in designated STPs. The period of
the STP Tax Holiday available to such companies is restricted to 10 
     consecutive years beginning from the financial year when the unit started
      producing computer software or March 31, 2000, whichever is earlier. Also,
      the incentive available under the later scheme would be phased out equally
  over a period of five years starting from fiscal 2000. The benefits of
   these tax incentive programs have historically resulted in an effective
      tax rate for the company well below statutory rates. There is no assurance
   that the Government of India will continue to provide these incentives.
The company pays corporate income tax in foreign countries on income
derived from operations in those countries.                         

2.9   Effects of inflation                                                      

      The company's most significant costs are the salaries and related benefits
for its employees. Competition in India and the United States for IT
     professionals with the advanced technological skills necessary to perform
  the services offered by the company have caused wages to increase at a
     rate greater than the general rate of inflation. As with other IT service
      providers, the company must adequately anticipate wage increases and other
      cost increases, particularly on its long-term contracts. Historically, the
company's wage costs in India have been significantly lower than    
prevailing wage costs in the United States for comparably-skilled   
 employees, although wage costs in India are presently increasing at a
     faster rate than in the United States. There can be no assurance that the
   company will be able to recover cost increases through increases in the
prices that it charges for its services in the United States.       

2.10  Accounting pronouncements                                                 

Effective April 1, 2001, Infosys adopted SFAS 133, Accounting for   
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities as amended, when the  
 pronouncement became effective for companies with fiscal years ending
March 31, 2001. SFAS 133 will change the accounting treatment of    
derivative contracts (including foreign exchange contracts) that are
employed to manage risks. It establishes accounting and reporting   
standards for derivative instruments, including certain derivative  
    instruments embedded in other contracts, and for hedging activities. All
derivatives, whether designated in hedging relationships or not, are
      required to be recorded on the balance sheet at fair value. The accounting
 treatment of changes in fair value is dependent upon whether or not a
 derivative instrument is designated as a hedge and if so, the type of
     hedge. If the derivative is designated as a fair value hedge, the changes
      in the fair value of the derivative and of the hedged item attributable to
the hedged risk are recognized in earnings. If the derivative is    
     designated as a cash flow hedge, the effective portions of changes in the
   fair value of the derivative are recorded in other comprehensive income
   and are recognized in the income statement when the hedged item affects
    earnings. Ineffective portions of changes in the fair value of cash flow
hedges are recognized in earnings. The company observes that the net
amount reflected in current earnings under the new rules will be    
    substantially similar to the amounts under existing accounting practice.

3.    Risk factors                                                              

3.1   Management of growth                                                      

 The company has experienced significant growth in recent periods. The
 company's revenues in fiscal 2001 grew 103.4% over fiscal 2000. As of
March 31, 2001, the company employed approximately 8,660 software   
     professionals worldwide with 16 software development facilities in India,
six proximity development centers in the UK and USA and one global  
    development center in Canada, as compared to approximately 4,625 with 17
software development facilities in India, two proximity development 
      centers in USA and one global development center in Canada as of March 31,
 2000 and 3,160 with 11 software development facilities in India as of
     March 31, 1999. In fiscal 2001, 2000 and 1999, the company approved major
     expansions to its existing facilities and the building of new facilities.
The company's growth is expected to place significant demands on its
     management and other resources and will require it to continue to develop
    and improve its operational, financial and other internal controls, both
 in India and elsewhere. In particular, continued growth increases the
challenges involved in: recruiting and retaining sufficient skilled 
      technical, marketing and management personnel; providing adequate training
 and supervision to maintain the company's high quality standards; and
preserving the company's culture and values and its entrepreneurial 
 environment. The company's inability to manage its growth effectively
could have a material adverse effect on the quality of the company's
    services and projects, its ability to attract clients as well as skilled
personnel, its business prospects, and its results of operations and
financial condition.                                                

3.2   Potential fluctuations in future operating results                        

  Historically, the company's operating results have fluctuated, and may
continue to fluctuate in future, depending on a number of factors,  
      including: the size, timing and profitability of significant projects; the
    proportion of services that are performed at client sites rather than at
     the company's offshore facilities; the accuracy of estimates of resources
 and time required to complete ongoing projects, particularly projects
    performed under fixed-price, fixed-time frame contracts; a change in the
    mix of services provided to its clients or in the relative proportion of
services and product revenues; the timing of tax holidays and other 
      Government of India incentives; the effect of seasonal hiring patterns and
  the time required to train and productively utilize new employees; the
    size and timing of facilities expansion; unanticipated increases in wage
rates; the company's success in expanding its sales and marketing   
    programs; currency exchange rate fluctuations and other general economic
factors. A high percentage of the company's operating expenses,     
particularly personnel and facilities, are fixed in advance of any  
   particular quarter. As a result, unanticipated variations in the number
     and timing of the company's projects or in employee utilization rates may
cause significant variations in operating results in any particular 
  quarter. The company believes that period-to-period comparisons of its
  results of operations are not necessarily meaningful and should not be
relied upon as indications of future performance. Due to all of the 
foregoing factors, it is possible that in some future quarter the   
      company's operating results may be below the expectations of public market
 analysts and investors. In such event, the market price of the equity
shares and ADSs are likely to be materially adversely affected.     

3.3   Impact of a slowdown in IT spending in the U.S.                           

     Historically, a significant portion of the company's revenues was derived
   from the U.S. For example, in fiscal 2001 and 2000, approximately 70.0%
    and 73.8% of the company's revenues were derived from the U.S. Currently
     there are indications of an economic slowdown in the U.S. The IT services
     market in the U.S. had earlier showed remarkable resilience in fashioning
    new solutions demanded by changing business and technology cycles. Going
forward, the IT services sector in the U.S. may experience some     
     realignment as a result of the macroeconomic forces. The continued growth
      of companies in this sector will depend upon their ability to adapt to the
 changes in the market and justify their customer's investments in new
projects that will drive customer retention up and costs down.      
 Consequently, the company's competitors may reduce contract prices to
retain customers and / or to win new contracts. This may affect the 
    company's ability to win new clients and retain existing clients as well
      as the company's ability to sustain its current pricing strategy. This may
   result in a lower revenue growth and may impact margins of the company.
   Due to all of the foregoing factors, it is possible that in some future
    quarter the company's operating results may be below the expectations of
    public market analysts and investors. In such event, the market price of
      the equity shares and ADSs are likely to be materially adversely affected.

3.4  Exposure to industry segments                                              

   The company derives a significant proportion of its revenues from certain
  industry segments. For example, in fiscal 2001 the company derived 33.7%
and 18.4% of its revenues from the insurance, banking and financial   
    services, and telecom industry segments respectively, as compared to 30.1%
and 15.4%, respectively in fiscal 2000. There are indications that the
   possible economic slowdown in the U.S. may impact the growth prospects of
companies that operate in various industry segments, for example, the 
   insurance, banking and financial services, and telecom industry segments.
Consequently, these companies may cut their IT spending or postpone   
decisions regarding new expenditure with respect to IT spending. The  
company believes that a sustained cut in IT spending and the longer   
     decision time that may be taken by these companies may affect the company's
    ability to win new clients and / or retain existing clients as well as the
 company's ability to sustain its current pricing strategy with existing
 clients, in these industry segments. This may result in a lower revenue
   growth and may impact margins of the company. Due to all of the foregoing
     factors, it is possible that in some future quarter the company's operating
results may be below the expectations of public market analysts and   
  investors. In such event, the market price of the equity shares and ADSs
are likely to be materially adversely affected.                       

3.5  Exposure to start-up and venture-funded companies                          

     The company works with start-up and venture-funded companies to gain access
to niche technologies. The company derived 10.8% of its revenues from 
 start-up and venture-funded companies in fiscal 2001. Consequent to the
possible economic slowdown in the U.S., the ability of start-up and   
venture-funded companies to raise capital for their operations and    
expansion plans has become difficult. As a result, the ability of the 
     company to grow its revenues from such companies may be adversely affected.
     Additionally, such companies may not be able to pay any amounts due against
services rendered by the company. Due to the foregoing factors, it is 
     possible that in some future quarter the company's operating results may be
 below the expectations of public market analysts and investors. In such
event, the market price of the equity shares and ADSs are likely to be
materially adversely affected.                                        

3.6  Risks related to investments in Indian securities                          

   The company is incorporated in India, and substantially all of its assets
and a substantial majority of its employees are located in India.     
Consequently, the company's performance may be affected by changes in 
    exchange rates and controls, interest rates, Government of India policies,
including taxation policy, as well as political, social and economic  
developments affecting India.                                         

     Political and economic environment. During the past decade and particularly
since 1991, the Government of India has pursued policies of economic  
  liberalization, including significant relaxations of restrictions on the
private sector. Nevertheless, the role of the Indian central and state
  governments in the Indian economy as producers, consumers and regulators
     has remained significant. Additionally, since 1996, the Government of India
     has changed three times. The current Government of India, formed in October
1999, has announced policies and taken initiatives that support the   
  continuation of the economic liberalization policies pursued by previous
     governments and has, in addition, set up a special IT task force to promote
the IT industry. However, the speed of economic liberalization could  
change, and specific laws and policies affecting IT companies, foreign
    investment, currency exchange rates and other matters affecting investment
    in the company's securities could change as well. Further, there can be no
   assurance that the liberalization policies will continue in the future. A
     significant change in the Government of India's economic liberalization and
deregulation policies could adversely affect business and economic    
 conditions in India generally and the company's business in particular.
    South Asia has from time to time experienced instances of civil unrest and
hostilities among neighboring countries. Events of this nature in the 
     future could influence the Indian economy and could have a material adverse
     effect on the market for securities of Indian companies and on the business
of the company.                                                       

    Government of India incentives and regulation. The company benefits from a
     variety of incentives given to software firms in India, such as relief from
     import duties on hardware, a tax exemption for income derived from software
     exports, and tax holidays and infrastructure support for companies, such as
 Infosys, operating in specially designated "Software Technology Parks".
  There can be no assurance that these incentives will continue in future.
Further, there is a risk that changes in tax rates or laws affecting  
foreign investment, currency exchange rates or other regulations will 
  render the Government of India's regulatory scheme less favorable to the
     company and could adversely affect the market price of the company's equity
   shares and its ADSs. Should the regulations and incentives promulgated by
     the Government of India become less favorable to the company, the company's
    results of operations and financial condition could be adversely affected.

     Restrictions on foreign investment. Foreign investment in Indian securities
is regulated by the Foreign Exchange Management Act, 1999. In certain 
  emerging markets, including India, Global Depositary Shares and ADSs may
trade at a discount or premium, as the case may be, to the underlying 
shares, in part because of restrictions on foreign ownership of the   
    underlying shares. In addition, under current Indian laws and regulations,
   the Depositary can accept deposits of outstanding equity shares and issue
     ADRs evidencing ADSs representing such equity shares provided the shares so
 accepted for conversion into ADSs shall not exceed the number of equity
     shares which were released by the Custodian pursuant to conversions of ADSs
   into equity shares under the Depositary Agreement. Therefore, a holder of
ADSs who surrenders ADSs and withdraws equity shares is not permitted 
 subsequently to deposit such equity shares and obtain ADSs if such ADSs
  obtained on conversion are in excess of the ADSs originally converted or
surrendered. This limited ability to convert equity shares into ADSs  
    increases the probability that the price of the ADSs will not trade on par
with the price of the equity shares as quoted on the Indian stock     
exchanges. Holders who seek to sell in India any equity shares        

EX-13.1 126th Page of 205 TOC 1st Previous Next ↓Bottom Just 126th
  withdrawn from the depositary facility and to convert the rupee proceeds
   from such sale into foreign currency and repatriate such foreign currency
   from India will have to obtain Reserve Bank of India ("RBI") approval for
each such transaction. Further, under current Indian regulations and  
     practice, the approval of the RBI is required for the sale of equity shares
   underlying ADSs by a non-resident of India to a resident of India as well
as for renunciation of rights to a resident of India. There can be no 
assurance that any such approval can be obtained.                     

Exchange rate fluctuations. Market risks relating to the company's    
   operations result primarily from changes in interest rates and changes in
 foreign exchange rates. The company's functional currency is the Indian
rupee although it transacts a major portion of its business in foreign
    currencies and accordingly has foreign currency exposure through its sales
     in the United States and purchases from overseas suppliers in U.S. dollars.
In its U.S. operations, the company does not actively hedge against   
   exchange rate fluctuations, although it may elect to do so in the future.
   Accordingly, changes in exchange rates may have a material adverse effect
 on the company's net sales, cost of services sold, gross margin and net
    income, any of which alone or in the aggregate may in turn have a material
   adverse effect on the company's business, operating results and financial
condition. The exchange rate between the rupee and the U.S. dollar has
  changed substantially in recent years and may fluctuate substantially in
   the future. During the four-year period from March 31, 1997 through March
31, 2001, the value of the rupee against the U.S. dollar declined by  
 approximately 29.8%. For fiscal 2001, 2000 and 1999, the company's U.S.
dollar-denominated revenues represented 89.5%, 88.3% and 88.1%,       
     respectively, of total revenues. The company expects that a majority of its
    revenues will continue to be generated in U.S. dollars for the foreseeable
    future and that a significant portion of the company's expenses, including
personnel costs as well as capital and operating expenditures, will   
   continue to be denominated in rupees. Consequently, the company's results
of operations will be adversely affected to the extent the rupee      
   appreciates against the U.S. dollar. The company has sought to reduce the
 effect of exchange rate fluctuations on operating results by purchasing
foreign exchange forward contracts to cover a portion of outstanding  
    accounts receivable on a need basis. As of March 31, 2001, the company had
outstanding forward contracts in the amount of $ 20 million. These    
    contracts typically mature within three months, must be settled on the day
of maturity and may be canceled subject to the payment of any gains or
    losses in the difference between the contract exchange rate and the market
exchange rate on the date of cancellation. The company uses these     
   instruments only as a hedging mechanism and not for speculative purposes.
     There can be no assurance that the company will purchase contracts adequate
  to insulate itself from foreign exchange currency risks or that any such
  contracts will perform adequately as a hedging mechanism. Devaluation of
    the rupee will result in foreign currency translation losses. For example,
     for fiscal 2001 and 2000, the company's foreign currency translation losses
were approximately $ 14.5 million and $ 5.0 million, respectively.    

 Fluctuations in the exchange rate between the rupee and the U.S. dollar
   also will affect the U.S. dollar conversion by the Depositary of any cash
   dividends paid in rupees on the equity shares represented by the ADSs. In
  addition, fluctuations in the exchange rate between the Indian rupee and
    the U.S. dollar will affect the U.S. dollar equivalent of the Indian rupee
    price of equity shares on the Indian Stock Exchanges and, as a result, are
  likely to affect the market prices of the ADSs in the United States, and
vice versa. Such fluctuations will also affect the dollar value of the
     proceeds a holder would receive upon the sale in India of any equity shares
    withdrawn from the Depositary under the Depositary Agreement. There can be
    no assurance that holders will be able to convert rupee proceeds into U.S.
     dollars or any other currency or with respect to the rate at which any such
conversion could occur.                                               

3.7  Substantial investment in new facilities                                   

 As of March 31, 2001, the company had contractual commitments of $ 34.0
million for capital expenditure and has budgeted for significant      
    infrastructural expansion in the near future. Since such an expansion will
    significantly increase the company's fixed costs, the company's results of
   operations will be materially adversely affected if the company is unable
     to grow its business proportionately. Although the company has successfully
  developed new facilities in the past, there can be no assurance that the
  company will not encounter cost overruns or project delays in connection
with any or all of the new facilities. Furthermore, there can be no   
   assurance that future financing for additional facilities, whether within
India or elsewhere, would be available on attractive terms or at all. 

3.8  Restrictions on U.S. immigration                                           

  The company's professionals who work on-site at client facilities in the
    United States on temporary and extended assignments are typically required
   to obtain visas. As of March 31, 2001, substantially all of the company's
   personnel in the United States were working pursuant to H-1B visas (1,090
    persons) or L-1 visas (292 persons). Although there is no limit to new L-1
  petitions, there is a limit to the number of new H-1B petitions that the
 United States Immigration and Naturalization Service may approve in any
government fiscal year. In years in which this limit is reached, the  
company may be unable to obtain the H-1B visas necessary to bring its 
     critical Indian IT professionals to the United States on an extended basis.
The H-1B limit had recently been increased to 195,000 for the next two
     years ending September 30, 2002. The limit is yet to be reached by the U.S.
     government for its fiscal year ending September 30, 2001. While the company
 anticipates that such limit may be reached prior to the end of the U.S.
  government's fiscal year and has made efforts to plan accordingly, there
   can be no assurance that the company will continue to be able to obtain a
    sufficient number of H-1B visas. Changes in existing U.S. immigration laws
  that make it more difficult for the company to obtain H-1B and L-1 visas
   could impair the company's ability to compete for and provide services to
   clients and could have a material adverse effect on the company's results
of operations and financial condition.                                

EX-13.1 127th Page of 205 TOC 1st Previous Next ↓Bottom Just 127th
3.9   Risks related to international operations                                 

     While most of the company's software development facilities are currently
     located in India, the company intends to develop new software development
     facilities in other regions, including potentially South-East Asia, Latin
    America and Europe. The company has not yet made substantial contractual
      commitments to develop such new software development facilities, and there
can be no assurance that the company will not significantly alter or
      reduce its proposed expansion plans. The company's lack of experience with
facilities outside of India subject the company to further risk with
regard to foreign regulation and overseas facilities management.    
     Increasing the number of software development facilities and the scope of
  operations outside of India subjects the company to a number of risks,
     including, among other things, difficulties relating to administering its
  business globally, managing foreign operations, currency exchange rate
   fluctuations, restrictions against the repatriation of earnings, export
    requirements and restrictions, and multiple and possibly overlapping tax
     structures. Such developments could have a material adverse effect on the
company's business, results of operations and financial condition.  

3.10  Dependence on skilled personnel; risks of wage inflation                  

  The company's ability to execute project engagements and to obtain new
      clients depends, in large part, on its ability to attract, train, motivate
      and retain highly skilled IT professionals, particularly project managers,
    software engineers and other senior technical personnel. An inability to
    hire and retain additional qualified personnel will impair the company's
   ability to bid for or obtain new projects and to continue to expand its
    business. The company believes that there is significant competition for
      IT professionals with the skills necessary to perform the services offered
      by the company. There can be no assurance that the company will be able to
   assimilate and manage new IT professionals effectively. Any increase in
    the attrition rates experienced by the company, particularly the rate of
   attrition of experienced software engineers and project managers, would
adversely affect the company's results of operations and financial  
    condition. There can be no assurance that the company will be successful
in recruiting and retaining a sufficient number of replacement IT   
     professionals with the requisite skills to replace those IT professionals
  who leave. Further, there can be no assurance that the company will be
able to redeploy and retrain its IT professionals to keep pace with 
continuing changes in IT, evolving standards and changing client    
  preferences. Historically, the company's wage costs in India have been
   significantly lower than wage costs in the United States for comparably
skilled IT professionals. However, wage costs in India are presently
   increasing at a faster rate than those in the United States. Changes in
   the immigration laws of the countries where the company's personnel are
     deputed on short-term assignments, requiring the company to pay a minimum
threshold wage higher than the current wage of these personnel as a 
      condition for obtaining visas or work permits may impact the profitability
of the company. In the long-term, wage increases may have an adverse
effect on the company's profit margins unless the company is able to
     continue increasing the efficiency and productivity of its professionals.

3.11  Client concentration                                                      

    The company has derived, and believes that it will continue to derive, a
significant portion of its revenues from a limited number of large  
     corporate clients. For fiscal 2001 and fiscal 2000, the company's largest
    client accounted for 7.3% and 7.2%, respectively, of the company's total
revenues and its five largest clients accounted for 26.0% and 30.2%,
respectively, of the company's total revenues. The volume of work   
performed for specific clients is likely to vary from year to year, 
particularly since the company is usually not the exclusive outside 
  software service provider for its clients. Thus, a major client in one
     year may not provide the same level of revenues in a subsequent year. The
loss of any large client could have a material adverse effect on the
      company's results of operations and financial condition. Since many of the
contracted projects are critical to the operations of its clients'  
 businesses, any failure to meet client expectations could result in a
     cancellation or non-renewal of a contract. However, there are a number of
     factors other than the company's performance that could cause the loss of
a client and that may not be predictable. For example, in 1995, the 
company chose to reduce significantly the services provided to its  
     then-largest client rather than accept the price reductions and increased
company resources sought by the client. In other circumstances, the 
      company reduced significantly the services provided to its client when the
client either changed its outsourcing strategy by moving more work  
     in-house and reducing the number of its vendors, or replaced its existing
      software with packaged software supported by the licensor. There can be no
assurance that the same circumstances may not arise in future.      

3.12  Fixed-price, fixed-time frame contracts                                   

      As a core element of its business strategy, the company continues to offer
    a significant portion of its services on a fixed-price, fixed-time frame
  basis, rather than on a time-and-materials basis. Although the company
uses specified software engineering processes and its past project  
   experience to reduce the risks associated with estimating, planning and
    performing fixed-price, fixed-time frame projects, the company bears the
     risk of cost overruns, completion delays and wage inflation in connection
 with these projects. The company's failure to estimate accurately the
     resources and time required for a project, future rates of wage inflation
  and currency exchange rates or its failure to complete its contractual
     obligations within the time frame committed could have a material adverse
  effect on the company's results of operations and financial condition.

3.13  Infrastructure and potential disruption in telecommunications             

      A significant element of the company's business strategy is to continue to
leverage its various software development centers in Bangalore,     
  Bhubaneswar, Chennai, Mangalore, Pune, Hyderabad, Mohali and Mysore in
India, and to expand the number of such centers in India as well as 
outside India. The company believes that the use of a strategically 
    located network of software development centers will provide the company
    with cost advantages, the ability to attract highly skilled personnel in
    various regions, the ability to service clients on a regional and global
      basis, and the ability to provide 24-hour service to its clients. Pursuant
     to its service delivery model, the company must maintain active voice and
    data communication between its main offices in Bangalore, the offices of
    its clients, and its other software development facilities. Although the
     company maintains redundant software development facilities and satellite
  communications links, any significant loss of the company's ability to
  transmit voice and data through satellite and telephone communications
would have a material adverse effect on the company's results of    
operations and financial condition.                                 

3.14  Competition                                                               

    The market for IT services is highly competitive. Competitors include IT
services companies, large international accounting firms and their  
      consulting affiliates, systems consulting and integration firms, temporary
   employment agencies, other technology companies and client in-house MIS
     departments. Competitors include international firms as well as national,
    regional and local firms located in the United States, Europe and India.
 The company expects that future competition will increasingly include
     firms with operations in other countries, potentially including countries
    with lower personnel costs than those prevailing in India. Historically,
     one of the company's key competitive advantages has been a cost advantage
     relative to service providers in the United States and Europe. Since wage
      costs in India are presently increasing at a faster rate than those in the
   United States, the company's ability to compete effectively will become
      increasingly dependent on its reputation, the quality of its services, and
  its expertise in specific markets. The company's ability to retain its
      existing clients and win new clients may also be impacted by any reduction
     in prices of services by competitors with a view to take advantage of the
economic downturn in the U.S. Many of the company's competitors have
  significantly greater financial, technical and marketing resources and
    generate greater revenue than the company, and there can be no assurance
that the company will be able to compete successfully with such     
   competitors and will not lose existing clients to such competitors. The
  company believes that its ability to compete also depends in part on a
number of factors outside its control, including the ability of its 
competitors to attract, train, motivate and retain highly skilled IT
professionals, the price at which its competitors offer comparable  
 services, and the extent of its competitors' responsiveness to client
needs.                                                              

3.15  Dependence on key personnel                                               

The company's success depends to a significant degree upon continued
     contributions by members of the company's senior management and other key
   research and development and sales and marketing personnel. The company
generally does not enter into employment agreements with its senior 
management and other key personnel that provide for substantial     
     restrictions on such persons leaving the company. The loss of any of such
   persons could have a material adverse effect on the company's business,
financial condition and results of operations.                      

3.16  Potential liability to clients; risk of exceeding insurance coverage      

     Many of the company's contracts involve projects that are critical to the
  operations of its clients' businesses and provide benefits that may be
     difficult to quantify. Any failure in a client's system could result in a
claim for substantial damages against the company, regardless of the
    company's responsibility for such failure. Although the company attempts
 to limit its contractual liability for damages arising from negligent
    acts, errors, mistakes or omissions in rendering its services, there can
 be no assurance the limitations of liability set forth in its service
    contracts will be enforceable in all instances or will otherwise protect
 the company from liability for damages. The company maintains general
     liability insurance coverage, including coverage for errors or omissions;
     however, there can be no assurance that such coverage will continue to be
    available on reasonable terms or will be available in sufficient amounts
    to cover one or more large claims, or that the insurer will not disclaim
    coverage as to any future claim. The successful assertion of one or more
     large claims against the company that exceed available insurance coverage
or changes in the company's insurance policies, including premium   
increases or the imposition of large deductible or co-insurance     
    requirements, could adversely affect the company's results of operations
and financial condition.                                            

3.17  Risks associated with possible acquisitions                               

The company intends to evaluate potential acquisitions on an ongoing
basis. As of the date, however, the company has no understanding,   
    commitment or agreement with respect to any material future acquisition.
     Since the company has not made any acquisitions in the past, there can be
no assurance that the company will be able to identify suitable     
      acquisition candidates available for sale at reasonable prices, consummate
     any acquisition, or successfully integrate any acquired business into the
company's operations. Further, acquisitions may involve a number of 
    special risks, including diversion of management's attention, failure to
retain key acquired personnel and clients, unanticipated events or  
    circumstances, legal liabilities and amortization of acquired intangible
    assets, some or all of which could have a material adverse effect on the
      company's results of operations and financial condition. Under Indian law,
except in certain                                                   

EX-13.1 129th Page of 205 TOC 1st Previous Next ↓Bottom Just 129th
  limited circumstances, the company may not make any acquisition of, or
investment in, a non-Indian company without RBI and, in most cases, 
Government of India approval. Even if the company does encounter an 
     attractive acquisition candidate, there can be no assurance that RBI and,
if required, Government of India approval can be obtained.          

3.18  Risks associated with strategic investments                               

  The company makes strategic investments in new technology start-ups in
    order to gain experience in niche technologies. The company had invested
   an aggregate amount of $ 5.9 million in strategic investments in fiscal
2001. However, there can be no assurance that the company will be   
     successful in its investments and will benefit from such investments. The
   loss of any of such investments could have a material adverse effect on
     the company's business, financial condition and results of operations. In
    fiscal 2001, the company provided for the value of its investments in EC
Cubed Inc. and Alpha Thinx Mobile Services AG, in the amounts of $ 3
million and $ 480,300, respectively.                                

3.19  Risks related to software product sales                                   

  In fiscal 2001, the company derived 2.5% of its total revenue from the
sale of software products. The development of the company's software
    products requires significant investments. The markets for the company's
primary software product are competitive and currently located in   
   developing countries, and there can be no assurance that such a product
     will continue to be commercially successful. In addition, there can be no
assurance that any new products developed by the company will be    
     commercially successful or that the costs of developing such new products
     will be recouped. A decrease in the company's product revenues or margins
    could adversely affect the company's results of operations and financial
 condition. Additionally, software product revenues typically occur in
 periods subsequent to the periods in which the costs are incurred for
     development of such products. There can be no assurance that such delayed
     revenues will not cause periodic fluctuations of the company's results of
operations and financial condition.                                 

3.20  Restrictions on exercise of preemptive rights by ADS holders              

    Under the Indian Companies Act, 1956 ("Indian Companies Act"), a company
    incorporated in India must offer its holders of equity shares preemptive
rights to subscribe and pay for a proportionate number of shares to 
      maintain their existing ownership percentages prior to the issuance of any
new equity shares, unless such preemptive rights have been waived by
    three-fourths of the company's shareholders. U.S. holders of ADSs may be
  unable to exercise preemptive rights for equity shares underlying ADSs
unless a registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as
    amended (the "Securities Act"), is effective with respect to such rights
    or an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act
      is available. The company's decision to file a registration statement will
  depend on the costs and potential liabilities associated with any such
    registration statement as well as the perceived benefits of enabling the
     holders of ADSs to exercise their preemptive rights and any other factors
    the company considers appropriate at the time. No assurance can be given
that the company would file a registration statement under these    
    circumstances. If the company issues any such securities in future, such
      securities may be issued to the Depositary, which may sell such securities
    for the benefit of the holders of the ADSs. There can be no assurance as
    to the value, if any, the Depositary would receive upon the sale of such
 securities. To the extent that holders of ADSs are unable to exercise
    preemptive rights granted in respect of the equity shares represented by
     their ADSs, their proportional interests in the company would be reduced.

3.21  Intellectual property rights                                              

The company relies upon a combination of non-disclosure and other   
    contractual arrangements and copyright, trade secrets and trademark laws
   to protect its proprietary rights. Ownership of software and associated
    deliverables created for clients is generally retained by or assigned to
    the client, and the company does not retain an interest in such software
  and deliverables. The company also develops foundation and application
     software products, or software "tools", which are licensed to clients and
     remain the property of the company. The company has obtained registration
  of INFOSYS as a trademark in India and the United States, and does not
have any patents or registered copyrights in the United States. The 
company currently requires its IT professionals to enter into       
      non-disclosure and assignment of rights agreements to limit use of, access
to, and distribution of its proprietary information. There can be no
assurance that the steps taken by the company in this regard will be
     adequate to deter misappropriation of proprietary information or that the
      company will be able to detect unauthorized use and take appropriate steps
to enforce its intellectual property rights.                        

Although the company believes that its services and products do not 
     infringe upon the intellectual property rights of others, there can be no
   assurance that such a claim will not be asserted against the company in
future. Assertion of such claims against the company could result in
    litigation, and there can be no assurance that the company would be able
    to prevail in such litigation or be able to obtain a license for the use
     of any infringed intellectual property from a third party on commercially
     reasonable terms. There can be no assurance that the company will be able
to protect such licenses from infringement or misuse, or prevent    
    infringement claims against the company in connection with its licensing
     efforts. The company expects that the risk of infringement claims against
      the company will increase if more of the company's competitors are able to
obtain patents for software products and processes. Any such claims,
regardless of their outcome, could result in substantial cost to the
    company and divert management's attention from the company's operations.
      Any infringement claim or litigation against the company could, therefore,
     have a material adverse effect on the company's results of operations and
financial condition.

3.22  Control by principal shareholders, officers and directors; anti-takeover  
provisions                                                          

The company's officers and directors, together with members of their
      immediate families, in the aggregate, beneficially own approximately 24.9%
    of the company's issued equity shares. As a result, such persons, acting
together, will likely still have the ability to exercise significant
   control over most matters requiring approval by the shareholders of the
    company, including the election and removal of directors and significant
corporate transactions. Such control by the company's officers and  
directors could delay, defer or prevent a change in control of the  
company, impede a merger, consolidation, takeover or other business 
      combination involving the company, or discourage a potential acquiror from
  making a tender offer or otherwise attempting to obtain control of the
company.                                                            

   The Indian Companies Act and the company's Articles of Association (the
"Articles") require that: (i) at least two-thirds of the company's  
directors shall serve for a specified term and shall be subject to  
      re-election by the company's shareholders at the expiration of such terms;
     and (ii) at least one-third of the company's directors who are subject to
 re-election shall be up for re-election at each annual meeting of the
    company's shareholders. In addition, the company's Articles provide that
      Mr. N. R. Narayana Murthy, one of the company's principal founders and its
 Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer, shall serve as the
      company's Chairman of the Board and shall not be subject to re-election as
      long as he and his relatives, own at least 5% of the company's outstanding
   equity securities. Furthermore, any amendment to the company's Articles
would require the affirmative vote of three-fourths of the company's
   shareholders. Finally, foreign investment in Indian companies is highly
 regulated. These provisions could delay, defer or prevent a change in
control of the company, impede a business combination involving the 
company or discourage a potential acquiror from attempting to obtain
control of the company.

Report of the audit committee                                                   
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

To the members of Infosys Technologies Limited                                  

In connection with the March 31, 2001 financial statements prepared as per US   
GAAP, the audit committee: (1) reviewed and discussed the audited financial     
statements with management; (2) discussed with the auditors the matters required
by Statement on Auditing Standards No. 61; and (3) reviewed and discussed with  
the auditors the matters required by Independence Standards Board Statement No. 
1. Based upon these reviews and discussions, the audit committee recommended to 
the board of directors that the audited financial statements be included in the 
Annual Report on Form 20-F filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission of 
the United States of America.

Report of management                                                            
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The management is responsible for preparing the company's financial statements  
and related information that appears in this Annual Report. The management      
believes that the financial statements fairly reflect the form and substance of 
transactions, and reasonably present the company's financial condition and      
results of operations in conformity with United States Generally Accepted       
Accounting Principles. The management has included, in the company's financial  
statements, amounts that are based on estimates and judgments, which it believes
are reasonable under the circumstances.                                         

The company maintains a system of internal procedures and controls intended to  
provide reasonable assurance, at appropriate cost, that transactions are        
executed in accordance with company authorization and are properly recorded and 
reported in the financial statements, and that assets are adequately            
safeguarded.                                                                    

KPMG audits the company's financial statements in accordance with the generally 
accepted auditing standards and provides an objective, independent review of the
company's internal controls and the fairness of its reported financial condition
and results of operations.                                                      

The board of directors of Infosys has appointed an audit committee composed of  
outside directors. The committee meets with the management, internal auditors,  
and the independent auditors to review internal accounting controls and         
accounting, auditing, and financial reporting matters.

Independent auditors' report                                                    
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders                                      
Infosys Technologies Limited                                                    

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Infosys Technologies Limited 
as of March 31, 2001 and 2000, and the related statements of income,            
stockholders' equity and comprehensive income, and cash flows for each of the   
years in the three-year period ended March 31, 2001. These financial statements 
are the responsibility of the company's management. Our responsibility is to    
express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.           

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted
in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit
to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free  
of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit    
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement       
presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our     
opinion.                                                                        

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in   
all material respects, the financial position of Infosys Technologies Limited as
of March 31, 2001 and 2000, and the results of its operations and its cash flows
for each of the years in the three-year period ended March 31, 2001, in         
conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.  

As explained in Note 1.3 in the accompanying notes to the financial statements, 
the accounts of Infosys Technologies Limited's wholly owned subsidiary, Yantra  
Corporation, which were consolidated with the financial statements of the       
company prior to April 1, 1998, were accounted for by the equity method in      
fiscal 1999.

1    Company overview and significant accounting policies                       

1.1  Company overview                                                           

    Infosys Technologies Limited ("Infosys" or the "company"), a publicly held
company is an information technology ("IT") consulting and service    
provider, providing end-to-end consulting for global corporations. The
  company has partnered with several Fortune 500 and emerging companies in
   building their next generation information infrastructure for competitive
  advantage. Infosys' portfolio of services includes e-strategy consulting
   and solutions, maintenance and re-engineering services, large application
   development and enterprise integration services. Infosys also has product
co-development initiatives with numerous communication and Internet   
infrastructure companies that are creating the building blocks for the
digital economy. In addition, the company develops and markets certain
  software products. Headquartered in Bangalore, India, the company has 16
state-of-the-art offshore software development facilities located     
    throughout India, six proximity development centers in the UK and the U.S.
     and one global development center in Canada, that enable it to provide high
quality, cost-effective services to clients in a resource-constrained 
  environment. The company also maintains offices in North America, Europe
and Asia.                                                             

1.2  Basis of preparation of financial statements                               

    The accompanying financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S.
   Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP"). All amounts are stated
in U.S. dollars, except as otherwise specified.                       

1.3  Principles of consolidation                                                

     The financial statements of the company were consolidated with the accounts
     of its wholly owned subsidiary, Yantra Corporation ("Yantra") during fiscal
    1998. On October 20, 1998, the company's voting control of Yantra declined
   to approximately 47%. Accordingly, the company followed the equity method
of accounting for Yantra in fiscal 1999. On June 14, 1999, Yantra sold
     Series C Convertible Preferred Stock amounting to $ 15 million to unrelated
existing and new investors, reducing the company's voting control to  
     approximately 25%. In July 2000, Yantra sold Series D Convertible Preferred
   Stock amounting to $ 49 million, to unrelated existing and new investors,
further reducing the company's voting control to approximately 16%.   

     The company owns 63% of the outstanding common shares of Yantra, but has no
financial obligations or commitments to Yantra and does not intend to 
    provide Yantra with financial support. Accordingly, the company recognized
 no losses of Yantra after October 20, 1998. The excess of the company's
     previously recognized losses over the basis of its investments in Yantra as
of October 20, 1998 were credited to retained earnings.               

Yantra was incorporated in the United States in fiscal 1996 for the   
development of software products in the retail and distribution areas.

1.4  Use of estimates                                                           

  The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported 
    amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and
liabilities on the date of the financial statements, and the reported 
 amounts of revenues and expenses during the year. Examples of estimates
   include accounting for contract costs expected to be incurred to complete
software development, allowance for uncollectible accounts receivable,
 future obligations under employee benefit plans and the useful lives of
property, plant and equipment. Actual results could differ from those 
estimates.                                                            

1.5  Revenue recognition                                                        

    The company derives its revenues primarily from software services and also
from the licensing of software products. Revenue on time-and-material 
 contracts is recognized as the related costs are incurred. Revenue from
     fixed-price, fixed-time frame contracts are recognized upon the achievement
 of specified milestones identified in the related contracts, as per the
percentage-of-completion method. Provisions for estimated losses on   
uncompleted contracts are recorded in the period in which such losses 
become probable based on the current contract estimates. The company  
   provides its clients with a fixed-period warranty on all its fixed-price,
    fixed-time frame contracts. Costs associated with the support services are
accrued at the time related revenues are recorded.                    

    Revenue from licensing of software products is recognized upon shipment of
products and fulfillment of acceptance terms, if any, provided that no
 significant vendor obligations remain and the collection of the related
 receivable is probable. When the company receives advances for software
     products, such amounts are reported as client deposits until all conditions
for revenue recognition are met. Maintenance revenue is deferred and  
   recognized ratably over the term of the underlying maintenance agreement,
generally 12 months. Revenue from client training, support and other  
    services arising due to the sale of software products is recognized as the
services are performed.

1.6  Cash and cash equivalents                                                  

 The company considers all highly liquid investments and deposits with a
    remaining maturity at the date of purchase / investment of three months or
    less to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash, cash
on deposit with banks, marketable securities and deposits with        
corporations.                                                         

1.7  Property, plant and equipment                                              

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated     
  depreciation. The company depreciates property, plant and equipment over
    their estimated useful lives using the straight-line method. The estimated
useful lives of assets are as follows:                                

Buildings                                15 years             
Furniture and fixtures                   5 years              
Computer equipment                       2-5 years            
Plant and equipment                      5 years              
Vehicles                                 5 years              

     The cost of software purchased for use in software development and services
   is charged to the cost of revenues at the time of acquisition. The amount
of third party software expensed during fiscal 2001, 2000 and 1999 was
$ 6,979,492, $ 3,816,840 and $ 3,538,590, respectively.               

Deposits paid towards the acquisition of property, plant and equipment
    outstanding at each balance sheet date and the cost of property, plant and
equipment not put to use before such date are disclosed under "Capital
work-in-progress".                                                    

1.8  Impairment of long-lived assets                                            

The company evaluates the recoverability of its long-lived assets and 
 certain identifiable intangibles, if any, whenever events or changes in
    circumstances indicate that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable.
     Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of
the carrying amount of an asset to future undiscounted net cash flows 
    expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be
impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by
which the carrying value of the assets exceeds the fair value of the  
 assets. Assets to be disposed are reported at the lower of the carrying
value or the fair value less the cost to sell.                        

1.9  Research and development                                                   

   Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Software product
    development costs are expensed as incurred until technological feasibility
is achieved. Software product development costs incurred subsequent to
     achieving technological feasibility are not significant and are expensed as
incurred.                                                             

1.10 Foreign currency translation                                               

 The accompanying financial statements are reported in U.S. dollars. The
functional currency of the company is the Indian rupee ("Rs."). The   
    translation of Rs. to U.S. dollars is performed for balance sheet accounts
using the exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet date, and for  
    revenue and expense accounts using a monthly average exchange rate for the
     respective periods. The gains or losses resulting from such translation are
reported as "Other comprehensive income", a separate component of     
stockholders' equity. The method for translating expenses of overseas 
     operations depends upon the funds used. If the payment is made from a rupee
   denominated bank account, the exchange rate prevailing on the date of the
    payment would apply. If the payment is made from a foreign currency, i.e.,
    non-rupee denominated account, the translation into rupees is performed at
the average monthly exchange rate.                                    

1.11 Foreign currency transactions                                              

 The company generally enters into foreign exchange forward contracts to
limit the effect of exchange rate changes on its foreign currency     
   receivables. Gains and losses on these contracts are recognized as income
  or expense in the statements of income as incurred, over the life of the
contract.                                                             

1.12 Earnings per share                                                         

     In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No.
  128, Earnings Per Share, basic earnings per share are computed using the
 weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period.
     Diluted earnings per share is computed using the weighted average number of
     common and dilutive common equivalent shares outstanding during the period,
    using the treasury stock method for options and warrants, except where the
result would be anti-dilutive.                                        

1.13 Income taxes                                                               

Income taxes are accounted for using the asset and liability method.  
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax 
  consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement
   carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities, and their respective
tax bases and operating loss carry-forwards. Deferred tax assets and  
liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to 
taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are  
    expected to be recovered or settled. The effect of changes in tax rates on
deferred tax assets and

liabilities is recognized as income in the period that includes the   
enactment date. The measurement of deferred tax assets is reduced, if 
  necessary, by a valuation allowance for any tax benefits of which future
realization is uncertain.                                             

1.14 Fair value of financial instruments                                        

The carrying amounts reflected in the balance sheets for cash, cash   
 equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate their
  respective fair values due to the short maturities of these instruments.

1.15 Concentration of risk                                                      

Financial instruments that potentially subject the company to         
concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash equivalents,
   trade accounts receivable, investment securities and hedging instruments.
    By their nature, all such financial instruments involve risk including the
    credit risk of non-performance by counterparties. In management's opinion,
     as of March 31, 2001 and 2000, there was no significant risk of loss in the
event of non-performance of the counterparties to these financial     
   instruments, other than the amounts already provided for in the financial
  statements. Exposure to credit risk is managed through credit approvals,
  establishing credit limits and monitoring procedures. The company's cash
    resources are invested with corporations, financial institutions and banks
   with high investment grade credit ratings. Limitations are established by
    the company as to the maximum amount of cash that may be invested with any
such single entity.                                                   

1.16 Retirement benefits to employees                                           

1.16.1  Gratuity                                                      

     In accordance with Indian law, the company provides for gratuity, a defined
    benefit retirement plan (the "Gratuity Plan") covering eligible employees.
The Gratuity Plan provides a lump sum payment to vested employees at  
     retirement, death, incapacitation or termination of employment of an amount
    based on the respective employee's salary and the years of employment with
the company. The company established the Infosys Technologies Limited 
   Employees' Group Gratuity Fund Trust (the "Gratuity Fund Trust") on April
 1, 1997. Liabilities with regard to the Gratuity Plan are determined by
actuarial valuation, based upon which the company contributes to the  
Gratuity Fund Trust. Trustees administer the contributions made to the
   Gratuity Fund Trust. The funds contributed to the Gratuity Fund Trust are
invested in specific securities as mandated by the law and generally  
   consist of federal and state government bonds and the debt instruments of
government-owned corporations.                                        

1.16.2  Superannuation                                                

   Apart from being covered under the Gratuity Plan described above, certain
  employees of the company are also participants in a defined contribution
    plan maintained by the company. The plan is termed the superannuation plan
  (the "plan") to which the company makes monthly contributions based on a
    specified percentage of each covered employee's salary. The company has no
further obligations under the plan beyond its monthly contributions.  

1.16.3  Provident fund                                                

     In addition to the above benefits, eligible employees receive benefits from
   a provident fund, which is a defined contribution plan. Both the employee
 and the company make monthly contributions to the plan, each equal to a
specified percentage of each covered employee's salary. The company   
   established a provident fund trust in August 1996, to which a part of the
  contributions are made each month. The remainder of the contributions is
made to the Government's provident fund. The company has no further   
obligations under provident fund beyond its monthly contributions.    

1.17 Investments                                                                

  Investments where the company controls between 20% and 50% of the voting
   interest are accounted for using the equity method. Investment securities
   in which the company controls less than 20% voting interest are currently
classified as "Available-for-sale securities".                        

 Investment securities designated as "available-for-sale" are carried at
 their fair value. Fair value is based on quoted market prices. Unquoted
     securities are carried at cost, adjusted for declines in value judged to be
   other than temporary. Unrealized gains and losses, net of deferred income
taxes are reported as a separate component of stockholders' equity.   
 Realized gains and losses and declines in value judged to be other than
     temporary on "Available-for-sale" securities are included in the statements
of income. The cost of securities sold is based on the specific       
identification method. Interest and dividend income is recognized when
earned.                                                               

1.18 Stock-based compensation                                                   

    The company uses the intrinsic value-based method of Accounting Principles
    Board ("APB") Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, to
 account for its employee stock-based compensation plan. The company has
therefore adopted the proforma disclosure provisions of SFAS No. 123, 
Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation.                              

1.19 Dividends                                                                  

 Dividend on common stock and the related dividend tax are recorded as a
liability on declaration.

    During the year ended March 31, 2001, EC Cubed Inc. and Alpha Thinx Mobile
Services AG ("Alpha Thinx"), two companies in which Infosys had made  
 strategic investments, filed for liquidation. Consequently, the company
     made a provision for its entire investment in EC Cubed Inc. and Alpha Thinx
   in the amounts of $ 3,000,000 and $ 480,300, respectively, as there was a
  diminution in the value of this investment that is considered other than
temporary. EC Cubed Inc. and Alpha Thinx are unlisted companies.

     The company grants loans to employees for acquiring assets such as property
     and cars. Such loans are repayable over fixed periods ranging from 1 to 100
   months. The annual rates of interest at which the loans have been made to

receivable from officers amounting to $ 227,121 and $ 309,835,        
  respectively, are included in prepaid expenses and other current assets,

      for-one stock split of the company's equity shares effected in the form of
a stock dividend. Also, in November 1999, the board of directors    
authorized a two-for-one stock split of the company's equity shares,
    whereby each issued and outstanding equity share, par value $ 0.32 each,
      was split into two equity shares, par value $ 0.16 each. All references in
      the financial statements to number of shares, per share amounts and market
     prices of the company's equity shares have been retroactively restated to
reflect the stock splits.

     in rupees. The company paid cash dividends of $ 9,321,522 and $ 2,526,872
during fiscal 2001 and 2000, respectively.                          

  Indian law mandates that any dividend be declared out of distributable
   profits only after the transfer of a specified percentage of net income
 computed in accordance with current regulations to a general reserve.
     Moreover, the remittance of dividends outside India is governed by Indian
law on foreign exchange and is subject to applicable taxes.         

2.11.3 Liquidation                                                  

     In the event of a liquidation of the company, the holders of common stock
    shall be entitled to receive any of the remaining assets of the company,
  after distribution of all preferential amounts. The amounts will be in
proportion to the number of equity shares held by the stockholders.

   1,904,123 and $ 2,819,326 for fiscal 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively.

2.15  Employees' Stock Offer Plans ("ESOP")                                     

     1994 Employees Stock Offer Plan (the "1994 Plan"): In September 1994, the
 company established the 1994 Plan, which provided for the issuance of
    6,000,000 warrants (as adjusted for the company's 2-for-1 stock split by
 means of a stock dividend in fiscal 1998 and 1999 and a 2-for-1 stock
    split in fiscal 2000) to eligible employees. The warrants were issued to
      an employee welfare trust (the "Trust") at Rs.0.50 each and were purchased
    by the Trust using the proceeds of a loan obtained from the company. The
Trust holds the warrants and transfers them to eligible employees at
 Rs.0.50 each. Each warrant entitles the holder to purchase one of the
   company's equity shares at a price of Rs.50 per share. The warrants and
     the equity shares received upon the exercise of warrants are subject to a
    five-year aggregate vesting period from the date of issue of warrants to
  employees. The warrants expire upon the earlier of five years from the
     date of issue or September 1999. The fair market value of each warrant is
      the market price of the underlying equity shares on the date of the grant.

In 1997, in anticipation of a share dividend to be declared by the  
   company, the Trust exercised all warrants held by it and converted them
     into equity shares with the proceeds of a loan obtained from the company.
 In connection with the warrant exercise and the share dividend, on an
   adjusted basis, 3,011,200 equity shares were issued to employees of the
   company who exercised stock purchase rights and 2,988,800 equity shares
     were issued to the Trust for future issuance to employees pursuant to the
  1994 Plan. Following such exercise, there were no longer any rights to
     purchase equity shares from the company in connection with the 1994 Plan.
Only equity shares held by the Trust remained for future issues to  
     employees, subject to vesting provisions. The equity shares acquired upon
     the exercise of the warrants vest entirely on completion of five years of
 service. The warrant holders were entitled to exercise early, but the
    shares received are subject to the five-year vesting period. As of March
     31, 2001, the company's outstanding equity shares included 587,400 equity
    shares held by the Trust of which 330,000 equity shares were allotted to
     employees, subject to vesting provisions and are included in the earnings
per share calculation. The remaining 257,400 equity shares were not 
      considered outstanding for purposes of calculating earnings per share. The
     warrants allotted and the underlying equity shares are not subject to any
repurchase obligations by the company.                              

     The company has elected to use the intrinsic value-based method of APB 25
      to account for its employee stock-based compensation plan. Accordingly, in
     fiscal 2001, 2000 and 1999, the company recorded deferred compensation of
      Nil, $ 1,029,649 and $ 30,407,892, respectively for the difference, on the
      grant date, between the exercise price and the fair value as determined by
 quoted market prices of the common stock underlying the warrants. The
deferred compensation is amortized on a straight-line basis over the
vesting period of the warrants/equity shares.                       

   In fiscal 1999, the company declared a stock split of two equity shares
for each equity share outstanding to all its stockholders including 
participants in the 1994 Plan in the form of a stock dividend and   
     consequently recognized an accelerated compensation charge at the time of
the stock dividend amounting to $ 12,906,962.                       

      1998 Employees Stock Offer Plan (the "1998 Plan"): The company's 1998 Plan
     provides for the grant of non-statutory stock options and incentive stock
   options to employees of the company. The establishment of the 1998 Plan
was approved by the board of directors in December 1997 and by the  
  stockholders in January 1998. The Government of India has approved the
 1998 Plan, subject to a limit of 1,470,000 equity shares representing
    2,940,000 American Depositary Shares ("ADS") to be issued under the 1998
      Plan. Unless terminated sooner, the 1998 Plan will terminate automatically
    in January 2008. All options under the 1998 Plan will be exercisable for
 equity shares represented by ADSs. The 1998 Plan is administered by a
      compensation committee comprising five members, all of who are independent
    directors on the board of directors. All options under the 1998 Plan are
exercisable for equity shares represented by ADSs.                  

  1999 Employees Stock Offer Plan (the "1999 Plan"): In fiscal 2000, the
company instituted the 1999 Plan. The stockholders and the board of 
     directors approved the 1999 Plan in June 1999. The 1999 Plan provides for
the issue of 6,600,000 equity shares to employees. The 1999 Plan is 
    administered by a compensation committee comprising five members, all of
   who are independent directors on the board of directors. Under the 1999
 Plan, options will be issued to employees at an exercise price, which
      shall not be less than the Fair Market Value ("FMV"). Under the 1999 Plan,
    options may also be issued to employees at exercise prices that are less
     than FMV only if specifically approved by the members of the company in a
general meeting.                                                    

   The company adopted the proforma disclosure provisions of SFAS No. 123,
  Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation. Had compensation cost for the
company's stock-based compensation plan been determined in a manner 
  consistent with the fair value approach described in SFAS No. 123, the
    company's net income and basic earnings per share as reported would have
reduced to the proforma amounts indicated below.

In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management   
    considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of
     the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of
  deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable
income during the periods in which the temporary differences become 
    deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversal of the projected
future taxable income, and tax planning strategies in making this   
assessment. Based on the level of historical taxable income and     
projections for future taxable income over the periods in which the 
   deferred tax assets are deductible, management believes that it is more
     likely than not the company will realize the benefits of those deductible
     differences, net of the existing valuation differences at March 31, 2001.
 The amount of the deferred tax assets considered realizable, however,
   could be reduced in the near term if estimates of future taxable income
during the carry forward period are reduced.                        

  All deferred tax expenses / (benefits) are allocated to the continuing
operations of the company.                                          

  A reconciliation of the income tax provision to the amount computed by
     applying the statutory income tax rate to the income before provision for
income taxes is summarized below.

    The provision for foreign taxes is due to income taxes payable overseas,
  principally in the United States of America. The company benefits from
      certain significant tax incentives provided to software firms under Indian
tax laws. These incentives presently include: (i) an exemption from 
    payment of Indian corporate income taxes for a period of ten consecutive
years of operation of software development facilities designated as 
"Software Technology Parks" (the "STP Tax Holiday"); and (ii) a tax 
deduction for profits derived from exporting computer software (the 
  "Export Deduction"). All but one of the company's software development
    facilities are located in a designated Software Technology Park ("STP").
     The Government of India has recently amended the tax incentives available
     to companies set up in designated STPs. The period of the STP tax holiday
available to such companies is restricted to 10 consecutive years   
      beginning from the financial year when the unit started producing computer
      software or March 31, 2000, whichever is earlier. Additionally, the export
     deduction will be phased out equally over a period of five years starting
from fiscal 2000.

Foreign exchange forward contracts                                  

    The company enters into foreign exchange forward contracts to offset the
     foreign currency risk arising from the accounts receivable denominated in
  currencies other than the Indian rupee, primarily the U.S. dollar. The
counter party to the company's foreign currency forward contracts is
generally a bank. Management believes that the risks or economic    
    consequences of non-performance by the counter party are not material to
      its financial position or results of operations. There were no significant
   foreign exchange gains and losses on foreign exchange forward contracts
 during fiscal 2001, 2000 and 1999. As of March 31, 2001 and 2000, the
   company had open foreign exchange forward contracts in the amounts of $
20,000,000 and Nil, respectively.                                   

2.19  Segment reporting                                                         

 SFAS No. 131, Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related
Information, establishes standards for the way that public business 
enterprises report information about operating segments and related 
disclosures about products and services, geographic areas, and major
    customers. The company's operations predominantly relate to providing IT
solutions, delivered to customers located globally, across various  
   industry segments. In the previous year, the company provided segmental
  disclosures based on the geographical segment. However, in the current
   fiscal year, the Chief Operating Decision Maker evaluates the company's
performance and allocates resources based on an analysis of various 
     performance indicators by industry classes and geographic segmentation of
customers. Accordingly, revenues represented along industry classes 
  comprise the principal basis of segmental information set out in these
   financial statements. Secondary segmental reporting is performed on the
      basis of the geographical location of customers. The accounting principles
consistently used in the preparation of the financial statements are
consistently applied to record revenue and expenditure in individual
 segments, and are as set out in the summary of significant accounting
policies.                                                           

Industry segments for the company are primarily financial services  
    comprising enterprises providing banking finance and insurance services,
manufacturing enterprises, enterprises in the telecommunications    
("telecom") and retail industries, and others such as utilities,    
transportation and logistics companies.                             

  Revenue in relation to segments is categorized based on items that are
individually identifiable to that segment, while expenditure is     
      categorized in relation to the associated turnover of the segment. Certain
      expenses such as depreciation, which form a significant component of total
expenses, are not specifically allocable to specific segments as the
     underlying services are used interchangeably. Management believes that it
   is not practical to provide segment disclosures relating to those costs
    and expenses, and accordingly these expenses are separately disclosed as
    "unallocated" and adjusted only against the total income of the company.

     Geographic segmentation is driven based on the location of the respective
    client. North America comprises the United States of America, Canada and
    Mexico; Europe includes continental Europe (both the east and the west),
    Ireland and the United Kingdom; and the Rest of the World comprising all
other places except those mentioned above and India.                

    Fixed assets used in the company's business are not identified to any of
the reportable segments, as these are used interchangeably between  
 segments. Management believes that it is currently not practicable to
      provide segment disclosures relating to total assets and liabilities since
a meaningful segregation of the available data is onerous.          

   Geographical information on revenue and industry revenue information is
   collated based on individual customers invoiced or in relation to which
the revenue is otherwise recognized.

2.23  Non-monetary transaction                                                  

 In fiscal 2001, the company transferred certain Intellectual Property
     Rights ("IPR") that it had developed and owned in a product called Onscan
     to OnMobile Systems Inc. (formerly Onscan Inc). Onscan is a comprehensive
    web-enabled wireless notification product. In exchange for the transfer,
  the company received consideration in the form of securities including
 100,000 Common Stock, par value $ 0.001 each, 100,000 Series A Voting
      Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $ 0.001 each and 4,400,000 Series A
      Nonvoting Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $ 0.001 each. Convertible
   Preferred Stock is convertible into Common Stock automatically upon the
      closing of an Initial Public Offering by Onscan Inc. As of March 31, 2001,
the company's controlling interest in OnMobile Systems Inc. was     
approximately 12%. The transfer was recorded at historic cost and,  
     accordingly, no gain was recognized on this transaction as of the date of
transfer of the IPR.                                                

2.24  Recent accounting pronouncements                                          

Effective April 1, 2001, Infosys adopted SFAS 133, Accounting for   
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities as amended, when the  
      pronouncement became effective for companies with fiscal year ending March
 31, 2001. SFAS 133 will change the accounting treatment of derivative
 contracts (including foreign exchange contracts) that are employed to
manage risks. It establishes accounting and reporting standards for 
     derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded
   in other contracts and for hedging activities. All derivatives, whether
      designated in hedging relationships or not, are required to be recorded on
   the balance sheet at fair value. The accounting treatment of changes in
  fair value is dependent upon whether or not a derivative instrument is
    designated as a hedge and if so, the type of hedge. If the derivative is
  designated as a fair value hedge, the changes in the fair value of the
 derivative and of the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk are
  recognized in earnings. If the derivative is designated as a cash flow
hedge, the effective portions of changes in the fair value of the   
    derivative are recorded in other comprehensive income and are recognized
      in the income statement when the hedged item affects earnings. Ineffective
    portions of changes in the fair value of cash flow hedges are recognized
      in earnings. The company observes that the net amount reflected in current
     earnings under the new rules will be substantially similar to the amounts
under existing accounting practice.

    Your company was the first in India to pay a one-time custodial fee of Rs.
    44.43 lakh to National Securities Depositary Limited (NSDL). Consequently,
    the company's shareholders do not have to pay depositary participants, the
custodial fee charged by the NSDL on their holding. Over 98% of the   
company's shares are now held in electronic form.

Frequently asked questions                                                      
________________________________________________________________________________

1.   What is an American Depositary Share ("ADS")?                              
Ans: An ADS is a negotiable certificate evidencing ownership of an    
outstanding class of stock in a non-US company. ADSs are created when 
   ordinary shares are delivered to a custodian bank in the domestic market,
   which then instructs a depositary bank in the US to issue ADSs based on a
predetermined ratio. ADSs are SEC registered securities and may trade 
     freely, just like any other security, either on an exchange or in the over-
the-counter market.                                                   

2.   What is the difference between an ADS and a GDR?                           
Ans: ADSs and GDRs (Global Depositary Receipts) are the same in their 
functionality - they both evidence ownership of foreign securities    
    deposited with a custodian bank. ADSs represent securities that are listed
     in the United States, while GDRs represent securities listed outside of the
United States, typically in London.                                   

3.   Do the ADSs have voting rights?                                            
 Ans: Yes. In the event of a matter submitted to the holders of ordinary
   shares for a vote, the ADS holders on record as at a particular date will
    be allowed to instruct the depositary bank to exercise the vote in respect
of the equity shares representing the ADS held by them.               

4.   Are the ADSs entitled to cash dividends?                                   
Ans: Yes, whenever dividends are paid to ordinary shareholders. Cash  
     dividends to ADS holders are declared in local currency and paid in dollars
    (based on the prevailing exchange rate) by the depositary bank, net of the
depositary's fees and expenses.                                       

5.   Does Infosys have a dividend reinvestment program or dividend stock        
purchase plan?                                                        
 Ans: Infosys does not offer a dividend reinvestment program or dividend
stock program, at present.                                            

6.   Where and in which year was Infosys incorporated?                          
  Ans: Infosys was incorporated in Mumbai, in the state of Maharashtra, in
India, on July 2, 1981.                                               

7.   When did Infosys have its initial public offer (IPO) and what was the      
initial listing price? Was there any follow-on offering?              
   Ans: Infosys made an initial public offer in February 1993 and was listed
 on stock exchanges in India in June 1993. Trading opened at Rs. 145 per
share compared to the IPO price of Rs. 95 per share. In October 1994, 
Infosys made a private placement of 5,50,000 shares at Rs. 450 each to
  Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs), Financial Institutions (FIs) and
     Corporates. During March 1999, Infosys issued 20,70,000 ADSs (equivalent to
    10,35,000 equity shares of par value of Rs. 10 each) at $ 34 per ADS under
the American Depositary Shares Program and the same were listed on the
NASDAQ National Market.                                               

8.   Which are the stock exchanges where Infosys shares are listed and traded?  
Ans: Shares of Infosys are listed and traded in India on the Bangalore
Stock Exchange, The Stock Exchange, Mumbai, and the National Stock    
 Exchange, Mumbai. The ADSs of Infosys are traded on the NASDAQ National
Market in the US.

  released in fiscal 2002, the tentative quiet period would be as follows:

Intangible assets scoresheet                                                    

A knowledge-intensive company leverages knowhow, innovation and reputation to   
achieve success in the marketplace. Hence, these attributes should be measured  
and improved upon year after year to ensure continual success. Managing a       
knowledge organization necessitates a focus on the critical issues of           
organizational adoption, survival, and competence in the face of ever-increasing
discontinuous environmental change. The profitability of a knowledge firm       
depends on its ability to leverage the learnability of its professionals, and in
enhancing the re-usability of their knowledge and expertise.                    

The stock price of a company is the result of the market's valuation of its     
earnings potential and growth prospects. Thus, the market provides a value to   
the off-balance-sheet assets of the company - that is, those assets which are   
invisible or which are not accounted for in the traditional financial           
statements. The intangible assets of a company include its brand; its ability to
attract, develop and nurture a cadre of competent professionals; and its ability
to attract and retain marque clients.                                           

Today's discerning investors take a critical look at both financial and         
non-financial parameters that determine the long-term success of a company. The 
non-financial parameters challenge the approach that evaluates companies solely 
on the traditional measures, as they appear in their financial reports. Thus,   
the intangible assets of the company have been receiving considerable attention 
from corporate leaders in recent years.                                         

The intangible assets of a company can be classified into four major categories 
- human resources, intellectual property assets, internal assets and external   
assets.                                                                         

Human resources                                                                 

Human resources represent the collective expertise, innovation, leadership,     
entrepreneurship and managerial skills endowed in the employees of an           
organization.                                                                   

Intellectual property assets                                                    

Intellectual property assets include know-how, copyrights, patents, products and
tools that are owned by a corporation. These assets are valued based on their   
commercial potential. A corporation derives its revenues by licensing these     
assets to outside users.                                                        

Internal assets                                                                 

Internal assets are systems, technologies, methodologies, processes and tools   
that are specific to an organization. These assets give the organization a      
unique advantage over its competitors in the marketplace. These assets are not  
licensed to outsiders. Examples of internal assets include methodologies for    
assessing risk, methodologies for managing projects, risk policies, and         
communication systems.                                                          

External assets                                                                 

External assets are the market-related intangibles that enhance the fitness of  
an organization for succeeding in the marketplace. Examples are customer loyalty
(reflected by the repeat business of the company) and brand value.              

The score sheet                                                                 

Infosys published models for valuing the two most valuable, intangible assets of
the company - human resources and the "Infosys" brand. The score sheet published
is broadly adopted from the Intangible asset score sheet provided in the book   
titled The New Organizational Wealth written by Dr Karl-Erik Sveiby and         
published by Berrett-Koehler Publishers Inc., San Francisco. We believe such    
representation of intangible assets provides a tool to our investors for        
evaluating the market-worthiness of the company.

.    Marque or image-enhancing clients are those who enhance the company's
 market-worthiness, typically Fortune 1000 clients. Often they are
reference clients for Infosys.                                  

.    Sales per client is calculated by dividing total revenue, excluding  
other income, by the total number of clients.                   

.    Repeat business revenue is the revenue during current year from those
clients who contributed to the revenue of the company during the
previous year also.                                             

.    Value-added is the revenue of the company less payment to all outside
  resources. The value-added statement is provided in the Additional
information to shareholders section in this report.             

 .    IT investment includes all investments in hardware and software by the
company.                                                        

.    Total investment in the organization is the investment in the fixed  
assets of the company.                                          

.    Average proportion of support staff is the average number of support 
     staff to average total staff strength of the company during the year.

   .    Sales per support staff is Infosys revenue divided by the average number
 of support staff during the year (support staff exclude technical
support staff.                                                  

.    Education index is shown as at the year-end, with primary education  
       calculated as 1, secondary education as 2, and tertiary education as 3.

Clients                                                                         

The growth in revenue is 113% this year, compared to 80%, in the previous year. 
The most valuable intangible asset of Infosys is its client base. Marque clients
or image-enhancing clients contributed around 52% of revenue this year, as      
compared to 47% in the previous year. They give stability to our revenues and   
also reduce our marketing costs.                                                

The high percentage - 85% - of revenue from repeat orders during the current    
year is an indication of the satisfaction and loyalty of the clients. The top 5 
and 10 clients contributed around 26% and 39%, respectively, of the company's   
revenue during the current year, as compared to 30% and 46%, respectively,      
during the previous year. The company's strategy is to increase its client base,
and thereby reduce the risk of depending on a few large clients. During 2000-   
2001, the company added 122 new clients.                                        

Organization                                                                    

During the current year, Infosys invested around 9% of the value-added on its IT
infrastructure, and 1% of the value-added on R&D activities.                    

A young, fast-growing organization requires efficiency in the area of support   
services. The average age of the support employees is 30.61 years, as against   
the previous year average age of 31.14 years. The sales per support staff, as   
well as, the proportion of support staff to the total organizational staff, have
shown improvements over the previous year.                                      

People                                                                          

Infosys is in a people-oriented business. The education index of employees has  
gone up substantially to 28,725 from 15,544. This reflects the quality of       
employees at Infosys. The value-added per software engineer and the value-added 
per employee show an increasing trend. The average age of employees as of March 
31, 2001 was 25.67 as compared to 26.14 as of March 31, 2000.

Human resources accounting                                                      

The dichotomy in accounting between human and non-human capital is fundamental. 
The latter is recognized as an asset and is therefore recorded in the books and 
reported in the financial statements, whereas, the former is totally ignored by 
accountants. The definition of wealth as a source of income inevitably leads to 
the recognition of human capital as one of several forms of wealth such as      
money, securities and physical capital.                                         

The Lev & Schwartz model has been used by Infosys to compute the value of the   
human resources as at March 31, 2001. The evaluation is based on the present    
value of the future earnings of the employees and on the following assumptions: 

1.  Employee compensation includes all direct and indirect benefits earned both 
in India and abroad.                                                    

2.  The incremental earnings based on group / age have been considered.         

3.  The future earnings have been discounted at 21.08% (previous year - 22.29%) 
  being the cost of capital for Infosys. Beta has been assumed at 1.54 based
on average beta for software stocks in the US.                          

                                                                [Download Table]

Brand valuation                                                                 

The strength of the invisible                                                   

A balance sheet discloses the financial position of a company. The financial    
position of an enterprise is influenced by the economic resources it controls,  
its financial structure, liquidity and solvency, and its capacity to adapt to   
changes in the environment. However, it is becoming increasingly clear that     
intangible assets have a significant role in defining the growth of a hi-tech   
company. So quite often, the search for the added value invariably leads us back
to understanding, evaluating and enhancing the intangible assets of the         
business.                                                                       

From time to time, Infosys has used various models for evaluating assets off the
balance sheet to bring certain advances in financial reporting from the realm of
research to the notice of the shareholders. Such an exercise also helps the     
Infosys management understand the components that make up goodwill. The aim of  
such modeling is to lead the debate on the balance sheet of the future. The     
Infosys management cautions the investors that these models are still the       
subject of debate among researchers, and using such models and data in          
predicting the future of Infosys, or any other company, is risky, and that the  
Infosys management is not responsible for any direct, indirect or consequential 
losses suffered by any person using these models or data.                       

Valuing the brand                                                               

A brand is much more than a trademark or a logo. It is a "trustmark" - a promise
of quality and authenticity that clients can rely on. Brand equity is the value 
addition provided to a product or company by its brand name. It is the financial
premium that a buyer is willing to pay for the brand over a generic or less     
worthy brand. Brand equity is not created overnight. It is the result of        
relentless pursuit of quality in production, selling, service, advertising and  
marketing. It is the integral of client experiences in dealing with the company 
and the company's services over a sustained period.                             

Corporate brands and service brands are often perceived to be interchangeable.  
Both types of brands aim at the enhancement of confidence, and the reduction of 
uncertainty, in the quality of the company offerings. Therefore, companies rely 
heavily on the image and personality they create for their brands, to           
communicate these qualities to the marketplace.                                 

For many businesses, brands have become critical for shareholder wealth         
creation. Global brands are still the most powerful and sustainable wealth      
creators in the business world, and will continue to be so in the near future.  
The task of measuring brand value is a complex one. Several models are available
for accomplishing this. The most widely used one is the brand-earnings-multiple 
model. There are several variants of this model. For example, by using one of   
the brand valuation models, Interbrand, a brand consultancy firm, had valued    
Coca-Cola at $ 72.54 billion in the year 2000, when its market capitalization   
was $ 142.16 billion, on the date of brand valuation. Thus, the brand valuation 
of Coca-Cola was around 51% of its market capitalization on the date of         
valuation. Interestingly, the study says that technology changes such as the    
Internet are only accelerating the globalization trend of the companies, and    
technology companies such as Microsoft, IBM, Intel and Nokia dominated the top  
five most valuable brands, in the study.                                        

(Source : www.business2.com/chart/most_valuable_brands.html)                    
Goodwill is a nebulous accounting concept that is defined as the premium paid   
for the tangible assets of a company. It is an umbrella concept that transcends 
components like brand equity and human resources, and is the result of many     
corporate attributes including core competency, market leadership, copyrights,  
trademarks, brands, superior earning power, excellence in management,           
outstanding work-force, competition, longevity and so on.                       

The Infosys management has adapted the generic brand-earnings-multiple model    
(given in the article on Valuation of Trademarks and Brand Names by Michael     
Birkin in the book Brand Valuation, edited by John Murphy and published by      
Business Books Limited, London) to value its corporate brand "Infosys". The     
methodology followed for valuing the brand is as given below:                   

1.   Determine brand earnings                                                   
To do this,                                                           
. Determine brand profits by eliminating the non-brand        
profits from the total profits of the company             
. Restate the historical profits at present-day values        
. Provide for the remuneration of capital to be used for      
purposes other than promotion of the brand                
. Adjust for taxes

2.   Determine the brand-strength or brand-earning multiple                     

Brand-strength multiple is a function of a multitude of factors like  
leadership, stability, market, internationality, trend, support and   
protection. These factors have been evaluated on a scale of 1 to 100, 
  internally by the Infosys management, based on the information available
within the company.                                                   

3.   Compute the brand value by multiplying the brand earnings by the multiple  
derived in step 2 above.                                              

The computation is as follows:

Assumptions                                                           

1.   Total revenue excluding other income after adjusting for cost of 
      earning such income is brand revenue, since this is an exercise to
        determine the brand value of Infosys as a company and not for any of
its products or services.                                   

2.   Inflation is assumed at 8% per annum.                            

 3.   5% of the average capital employed is used for purposes other than
promotion of the brand.                                     

4.   Tax rate is at 39.55%.                                           

   5.   The earnings multiple is based on the ranking of Infosys against the
      industry average, based on certain parameters (exercise undertaken
internally and based on available information).             

6.   The figures above are based on Indian GAAP financial statements. 

Thus, it is interesting to note that while Infosys has a market       
   capitalization of Rs. 26,926 crore as on March 31, 2001, the value of the
  "Infosys" brand alone is estimated at Rs. 5,376 crore. The corresponding
  figures for market capitalization and brand value of Infosys as on March
    31, 2000 and March 31, 1999 were Rs. 59,338 crore, Rs. 5,246 crore and Rs.
9,673 crore, Rs. 1,727 crore respectively.

Current cost adjusted financial statements                                      

Current cost accounting ("CCA") seeks to state the value of assets and          
liabilities in a balance sheet at their value and measure the profit or loss of 
an enterprise by matching current costs against current revenues. CCA is based  
on the concept of "operating capability", which may be viewed as the amount of  
goods and services that an enterprise is capable of providing with its existing 
resources during a given period. In order to maintain its operating capability, 
an enterprise should remain in command of resources that form the basis of its  
activities. Consequently, it becomes necessary to take into account the rising  
cost of assets consumed in generating these revenues. CCA takes into account the
changes in specific prices of assets as they affect the enterprise.             

The Balance Sheet and Profit and Loss Account of Infosys, on a current cost     
basis are presented below. The methodology prescribed by the Guidance Note on   
Accounting for Changing Prices issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants 
of India is adopted in preparing these statements.

1.   The cost of technology assets comprising computer equipment decreases over 
     time. This is offset by an accelerated depreciation charge to the financial
statements. Consequently, such assets are not adjusted for changes in 
prices.

Economic value-added (EVA) statement                                            

Economic value-added measures the profitability of a company after taking into  
account the cost of all capital including equity. It is the post-tax return on  
capital employed (adjusted for the tax shield on debt) less the cost of capital 
employed. Companies which earn higher returns than cost of capital create value,
while those companies that earn lower returns than cost of capital are deemed   
destroyers of shareholder value.

Ratio analysis                                                                  
Ratio analysis is amongst the best tools available to analyze the financial     
performance of a company. It allows inter-company and intra-company comparison  
and analysis. Ratios also provide a bird's eye view of the financial condition  
of the company. The ratios analyzed are based on Indian GAAP.                   

Financial performance                                                           
Exports have grown by 115% during the year, as against 74% in the previous year.
Export revenue is from various parts of the globe and is well segmented.        
Segmental analysis of the revenue is provided under the Notes to financial      
statements section in this report. During the year ended March 31, 2001, exports
constituted 96% of total revenue, as compared to 94% during the previous year.  
USA continued to be a major market. Domestic revenue remained constant at 1% of 
total revenue.                                                                  

Manpower costs were approximately 37% of total revenue as compared to 36% during
the previous year. Administration expenses were approximately 9% and 8% during  
the years ended March 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively.                          

Depreciation was at 6% of total revenue, which is same as during the previous   
year. Depreciation to average gross block was at 25%, as compared to 24% during 
the previous year.                                                              

Income tax expense was approximately 4% of total revenue during the years ended 
March 31, 2001 and 2000. Income tax expense includes a provision of Rs. 140 lakh
for earlier years.                                                              

Profit after tax from ordinary activities was 32% of total revenue, as against  
31% during the previous year.                                                   

Balance sheet analysis                                                          
The key ratios affecting the performance of the company's financial condition   
are discussed below:                                                            

1.   Return on average net worth                                                
     Return on average net worth is 56% as against 41% during the previous year.

 As the company is maintaining around 42% of its assets in liquid funds,
     where the returns are less, the above figures need further analysis. If the
average liquid assets are adjusted against the average net worth, and 
revenue earned after tax from liquid assets are adjusted against net  
profit, return on invested capital stands at 106%, as compared to 112%
during the previous year.                                             

2.   Debt-equity ratio                                                          
    The company funds its short-term and long-term cash requirements primarily
  from internal accruals. As on March 31, 2001, the company was debt-free.

3.   Current ratio                                                              
Current ratio is 3.49, as compared to 4.69 as on March 31, 2000.      

4.   Capital output ratio                                                       
  Capital output ratio is 1.71, as compared to 1.25 for the previous year.
     Invested capital output ratio is 3.34, as compared to 3.66 for the previous
year

5.   Value-added to total revenue                                               
  Value-added to total revenue is 80%, as compared to 79% for the previous
year. This is primarily due to higher margins. Details are given in   
"Additional information to shareholders" in this report.              

6.   Enterprise value to total revenue                                          
   Enterprise value to total revenue is 13 times, as compared to 64 times in
the previous year.                                                    

Per share data                                                                  

Per share data for the earlier years have been restated on par value of Rs. 5   
per share, and adjusted for bonus issues during the previous years. Earnings per
share (EPS) (basic) is Rs. 94.23, as compared to Rs. 43.23 for the previous     
year. Cash earnings per share (basic) is Rs. 111.29, as compared to Rs. 51.28   
during the previous year. This is due to higher cash generation and due to      
higher value addition. Book value per share has also increased to Rs. 210, as   
against Rs. 126 on March 31, 2000. Dividend payout ratio for the years ended    
March 31, 2001 and 2000, was 12% and 11.55% respectively.                       

The P/E to EPS growth was approximately 0.37, as compared to 1.91 for the       
previous year. This represents the valuation of the company in comparison to its
growth in earnings.                                                             

Appreciation in the Infosys share price (adjusted for bonus issues in 1994, 1997
& 1999 and a stock split of two-for-one in 2000), over the public issue price is
more than 68547%. Since the public issue, the market capitalization of the      
company has grown to Rs. 26,926.35 crore, as on March 31, 2001, from the public 
issue valuation of Rs. 31.84 crore during February 1993.

Statutory obligations                                                           

The company has established Software Technology Parks (STPs) - 100% export-     
oriented units - for the development of software at Electronics City,           
Koramangala, BTM Layout and J. P. Nagar all in Bangalore, as well as in         
Mangalore, Pune, Chennai, Bhubaneswar, Hyderabad, Mohali and Mysore (all in     
India). Certain capital items purchased for these centers are eligible for 100% 
customs and excise duty exemption, subject to fulfillment of stipulated export  
obligations, namely, five times the value of duty-free imports of capital goods,
or duty-free purchase of goods subject to excise, over a period of 5 years, on a
yearly basis. The export obligation on the wage bill was removed recently.      

The non-fulfillment of export obligations may result in penalties as stipulated 
by the government, which may have an impact on future profitability. The table  
showing the export obligation, and the export obligation fulfilled by the       
company, on a global basis, for all its STP units together, is given hereunder:

The total customs duty exempted on both computer software and hardware imported 
by the company since 1993 amounts to Rs. 111.97 crore.                          

The company has fulfilled its export obligations, on a global basis, for all its
operations under the STP scheme. However, in the case of STPs operationalized   
during the year, the export obligation will be met in the future years. On a    
forward basis, the company's management is confident of fulfilling all its      
export obligations.                                                             
Taxation                                                                        

The economic reforms program of the government has enhanced the velocity of     
business for companies in India. Being one of the signatories to the World Trade
Organization, India is committed to reducing import tariff levels, thereby      
exposing the Indian entrepreneurs to global competition. The present Indian     
corporate tax rate is 39.55% (comprising a base rate of 35% and a surcharge of  
13% on the base rate).                                                          

The company benefits from certain significant tax incentives provided to        
software firms under Indian tax laws. These incentives presently include: (i) an
exemption from payment of Indian corporate income taxes for a period of ten     
consecutive years of operation of software development facilities designated as 
"Software Technology Parks" (the "STP tax holiday"); and (ii) a tax deduction   
for profits derived from exporting computer software under Section 80 HHE of the
Income Tax Act (the "Export deduction"). All but one of the company's software  
development facilities are located in a designated Software Technology Park     
("STP"). The Government of India has recently amended the tax incentives        
available to companies set up in designated STPs. The period of the STP tax     
holiday available to such companies is restricted to 10 consecutive years,      
beginning from the financial year when the unit started producing computer      
software or March 31, 2000, whichever is earlier. Additionally, the export      
deduction will be phased out equally over a period of five years, starting from 
fiscal 2000.

The benefits of these tax incentive programs have historically resulted in an   
effective tax rate for the company, well below statutory rates. There is no     
assurance that the Government of India will continue to provide these           
incentives. The government may reduce or eliminate the tax exemptions provided  
to Indian exporters anytime in the future. This may result in the export profits
of the company being fully taxed, and may adversely affect the post-tax profits 
of the company in the future. On a full-tax-paid basis, without any duty        
concessions on equipment, hardware and software, the company's post-tax profit  
for the relevant years is estimated as below.

Infosys Foundation                                                              
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A strong sense of responsibility is foremost among the core values of Infosys.  
This translates into a commitment to help people and communities, to enhance the
living conditions of the rural population, and to improve education. In fiscal  
2001, the Infosys Foundation continued its commitment to the rural poor, to the 
underprivileged, and to the cause of education. Besides, it also helped promote 
Indian arts and culture. Grants from Infosys during the year aggregated Rs. 5.26
crore as compared to Rs. 2.80 crore in the previous year.                       
Following are some of the projects undertaken by the Foundation during the year.
1.  Initiatives for the rural poor and the underprivileged            
a.  Construction of a hostel commenced at the Maharshi Karve Stree    
Shikshana Samsthe, Karvenagar, Pune. The hostel will offer    
   accommodation to girls from the poorer sections of society and is
         expected to be operational by August 2001. An amount of Rs. 60 lakh has
been committed for this purpose by the Foundation.            
 b.  Construction of a 3,800 sq. ft. orphanage at Kalahandi, Orissa, was
completed in December 2000, at a cost of aboutRs. 8 lakh.     
    c.  The Foundation donated about 340 sewing machines to destitute women in
         Karnataka and Tamil Nadu. This is expected to provide a secure means of
        livelihood for them. Additionally, a substantial sum has been spent on
providing monetary assistance to these women.                 
     d.  The Foundation has aided several organizations in conducting social and
       literacy awareness campaigns in rural areas. The Foundation organized
         eye camps, donated ambulances and passenger vans, and donated a Braille
system to a residential school for the blind.                 
2.  Healthcare for the poor                                           
    a.  Computerization of KEM Hospital and Seth G.S. Medical College, Mumbai,
        has started. This project will provide LAN and Internet facilities for
the hospital and the college.                                 
b.  Construction of additional wards for the Swami Sivananda Centenary
      Hospital was launched during the year. This building will be able to
accommodate 64 in-patients.                                   
     c.  Construction of a 47,000 sq. ft. dharmashala - a free ward - for cancer
 patients availing treatment at the Kidwai Memorial Institute of
   Oncology, Bangalore, was completed during the year. The building,
 costing Rs. 3 crore, was inaugurated by S.M. Krishna, the Chief
Minister of Karnataka.                                        
    d.  A building with super-specialty facilities is being planned at Sassoon
       Hospital, Poona, for providing free treatment to the underprivileged.
e.  A sum of Rs. 10 lakh was donated to the Swami Vivekananda Youth   
 Movement, Mysore district, Karnataka, for the construction of a
hospital. The hospital has been operational since August 2000.
3.  Education                                                         
    a.  More often than not, rural children do not have access to high-quality
     facilities for education. The Foundation believes that every school
     should have its own library. The Shalegondu Granthalaya program has
      been extremely successful since it was started in 1997-98. Under the
     program, in Karnataka alone, more than 5000 sets of books have been
         donated to libraries of Kannada-medium schools in rural areas. Each set
      ranges from 200 to 2000 books depending on the number of students in
the school.                                                   
b.  The Foundation undertook reconstruction of old government schools 
       located in the slums of Hyderabad, Andhra Pradesh, at a cost of about
Rs. 10 lakh.                                                  
    c.  The construction of a hostel for the Nehru Seva Sangh's school for the
        blind at Banpur in Orissa has commenced. The total expenditure to date
is about Rs. 8 lakh.                                          
d.  A number of scholarships have been awarded to children from       
       economically backward families. The Pratibha Puraskar scholarship has
       been instituted for such students who have excelled in academics. The
       Foundation has also donated furniture and other equipment to schools.
4.  Arts and culture                                                  
        The Foundation strongly believes in preserving those arts and cultural
    activities of India, which are under threat of fading out. A North

                                    Financial statements prepared in substantial
                                    compliance with GAAP requirements of various
                         countries and reports of compliance with the respective
                                                  corporate governance standards

[GRAPHIC APPEARS HERE]  

         Over the past decade, the technology and information revolutions have
          fundamentally transformed economic and political relationships between
     nations. Thanks to the opening up of financial markets across the
          globe, investors today have a wide choice of capital markets to invest
         in. Consequently, the global investor must have access to information
     about the performance of any company, in any market that he / she
      chooses to invest in. However, differences in language, accounting
     practices, and reporting requirements in various countries render
     performance reports by many companies rather investor-unfriendly.

         Today, the strength of a global company lies in its ability to access
 high-quality capital at the lowest cost from a global pool of
     investors. Such companies study the needs of global investors and
      publish financial information in a language and form understood by
    their existing as well as prospective investors. In the process,
          financial statistics may have to be restated and financial terminology
   may need to be translated. Indeed, a key issue in international
      financial analysis is the restatement and translation of financial
      reports that describe operations conducted in one environment, but
which are the subject of review and analysis in another.    

          As an investor-friendly company, committed to the highest standards of
     disclosure, we voluntarily provide unaudited financial statements
    prepared in substantial compliance with the GAAP requirements of
     Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Japan and the United Kingdom,
besides those of the US and India (which information appears
         separately elsewhere). The financial statements are in the respective
national languages of these countries.                      

         Further, keeping in mind their local regulations and practices, these
       countries have formulated their own corporate governance standards.
          This year, we provide statements on compliance with these standards in
the respective national languages of these countries.       

        The unaudited consolidated profit & loss accounts and balance sheets
      have been prepared by converting the various financial parameters,
         reported in the audited income statement of Infosys (according to the
   Indian GAAP), including a consolidation of subsidiary financial
          information, into the respective currencies of the above countries. In
      addition, adjustments have been made for differences in accounting
          principles, and in formats, between India and these countries, if any.

In the event of a conflict in interpretation, the audited Indian version of 
 the financial statements and the "Corporate governance" section of the annual
report should be considered. The Infosys management cautions investors that 
these reports are provided only as additional information to our global     
investors. Using such reports for predicting the future of Infosys, or any  
other company, is risky. The Infosys management is not responsible for any  
direct, indirect or consequential losses suffered by any person using these 
financial statements or data.

Australia                                                                       

The Australian Institute of Company Directors, the Australian Society of        
Certified Practicing Accountants, the Business Council of Australia, the Law    
Council of Australia, the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Australia, and  
the Securities Institute of Australia, formed a working group to study corporate
governance issues which submitted the Bosch Report on corporate governance in   
1995.                                                                           

Your company complies substantially with all recommendations made by the working
group, except the following:                                                    

      1.  Chairman and CEO - The current policy of the company is to have an
            executive chairman and chief executive officer (CEO), and a managing
         director, president and chief operating officer (COO). There is a
            clear demarcation of responsibilities and authority between the two.
         At present, the company does not have a non-executive director as
deputy chairman.                                        

       2.  Composition of the board - The current strength of the board is 16,
   with 8 executive directors and 8 non-executive, independent
directors.                                              

      3.  Board membership term - Indian law mandates the retirement of one-
        third of the board members every year and qualifies the retiring
            members for re-appointment. The executive directors are appointed by
            the shareholders for a maximum period of five years at one time, but
      are eligible for re-appointment upon completion of their term.

"Good governance plays an important role in protecting shareholder rights,      
helping to maximize shareholder value over time, and assisting the creation of  
vibrant, dynamic and successful corporations." - Interim report, Joint Committee
on Corporate Governance, March 2001                                             

The Joint Committee on Corporate Governance was established by the Canadian     
Institute of Chartered Accountants (CICA), the Canadian Venture Exchange (CDNX) 
and the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSE), to study various aspects of corporate     
governance. The committee submitted its interim report - "Beyond compliance :   
building a governance culture"  - in March 2001.                                

Your company complies substantially with all recommendations made by the        
committee, except the following:                                                

      1.  Recommendation 4.1 - Selecting the CEO, monitoring performance and
            succession planning - At present, the succession planning of the CEO
     is not delegated to the board chairman or a lead director. At
          present, the CEO is also the chairman of the company. The chairman
       reviews succession planning and management development with the
board from time to time.                                

    2.  Recommendation 4.3 - Risk management - The board of directors is
   primarily responsible for monitoring risk levels on various
          parameters, and the management council is responsible for ensuring
     implementation of mitigation measures, if required. The audit
   committee provides overall direction on the risk management
policies.                                               

      3.  Recommendation 5.3 - Ensuring board independence - The independent
            directors of the board do not formally meet, without the management,
  at regular intervals. However, they informally discuss any
      substantive issues, that may arise from time to time, with the
chairman and CEO.                                       

        4.  Recommendation 5.3 - Responsibilities of the chairman - The chairman
  of the board is an executive director. The company has not
           identified any lead director to ensure the capacity of the board to
        act independent of management. The compensation committee of the
           board evaluates the performance of all the directors, including the
CEO, at regular intervals.                              

  5.  Recommendation 5.4 - The role of the corporate secretary - The
       company secretary reports to the chief financial officer of the
company.

-Committee on Corporate Governance, final report, January 1998                  

Directors' report on corporate governance                                       

In June 1998, the London stock exchange published the principles of good        
governance and the code of best practice ("the combined code") which embraces   
the work of the Cadbury, Greenbury and Hampel committees, and became effective  
in respect of accounting periods ending on or before December 31, 1998.         

EX-13.1 191st Page of 205 TOC 1st Previous Next ↓Bottom Just 191st
        The company has complied throughout the period under review with all the
provisions of the combined code of good practice in corporate   
 governance, as laid down in the listing rules of the London stock
exchange, except the following:                                 

      1.  Code A.2.1 - At present, the roles of chairman and chief executive
          officer are not separated. The current policy of the company is to
           have an executive chairman and chief executive officer (CEO), and a
       managing director, president and chief operating officer (COO).
     However, there is a clear demarcation of responsibilities and
       authority between the two. The CEO is responsible for corporate
          strategy, brand equity, planning, external contacts, acquisitions,
    and board matters. The COO is responsible for all day-to-day
            operations-related issues, and for the achievement of annual targets
in customer satisfaction, sales, profitability, quality,
       productivity, recruitment, training and employee retention. The
    company has not identified any senior member, other than the
chairman, to whom concerns can be conveyed.             

       2.  Code A.6.2, B.1.7 and B.1.8 - The current law in India mandates the
    retirement of one-third of the board members every year, and
        qualifies the retiring members for re-appointment. The executive
           directors are appointed by the shareholders for a maximum period of
        five years at one time, but are eligible for re-appointment upon
completion of their term.                               

       3.  Code C.2.1 - Under Indian law, voting on a resolution in the Annual
           General Meeting is by show of hands, unless a poll is demanded by a
           member or members present in person, or by a proxy holding at least
 one-tenth of the total shares and entitled to vote on the
          resolution, or by those holding an aggregate paid up capital of at
least Rs. 50,000. A proxy may not vote except in a poll.

      This statement along with the report of the compensation committee and
    the policies mentioned in the "Corporate governance" section of this
     report explains how the company has applied the governance principles
set out in section 1 of the combined code.                      

Internal control                                                

  The combined code has introduced a requirement that the directors'
    review the effectiveness of the group's system of internal controls.
    This requirement extends the directors' review to cover all controls
including:                                                      

.  Financial                                          
.  Operational                                        
.  Compliance                                         
.  Risk management                                    

      The company maintains a well-established control framework, comprising
   clear structures and accountabilities, well-understood policies and
procedures, and budgeting and review processes. The company has 
       established a system of internal controls, which is reviewed, evaluated
     and updated on an ongoing basis. Our internal auditors have conducted
    periodic audits to provide reasonable assurance that the established
   policies and procedures of the company have been followed. However,
     there are inherent limitations in weighing the assurances provided by
any system of internal controls.                                

        In addition, the company has put in place prudent risk management norms,
     which considers significant business risks and specifies the controls
 needed to manage them. A detailed report is provided in the "risk
 management" section of this report. Further, as the business risk
      profile changes, new risks are periodically assessed. The controls are
       continually monitored using the risk management process, internal audit
       coverage and routine management review. The results are reviewed by the
audit committee and the board.                                  

  The directors confirm that they are satisfied that the company has
       sufficient resources to continue operations for the foreseeable future.
        Accordingly, they continue to adopt the going-concern basis in preparing
the financial statements.
