| 2.1.2        | The  consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of Patni  and all of its subsidiaries, which are more than 50% owned and controlled. In  addition, the Company consolidates any Variable Interest Entity (“VIE”) if it  is determined to be a primary beneficiary in accordance with FASB  Interpretation No. 46(R), “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities”.  The Company accounts for investments by the equity method where its investment  in the voting stock gives it the ability to exercise significant influence  over the investee.

| 2.1.3        | The  preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires that  management makes estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of  assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities  as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of  revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Management believes that  the estimates used in the preparation of the consolidated financial  statements are prudent and reasonable. The actual results could differ from  these estimates.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                         |

| 2.1.4        | The  Company derives its revenues primarily from software services and to a lesser  extent from BPO services. Revenue is recognized when there is persuasive  evidence of a contractual arrangement with customers, delivery has occurred,  the sales price is fixed or determinable and collectibility is probable.  Software services are provided either on a fixed price, fixed time frame or  on a time and material basis. The Company’s fixed price contracts include  application maintenance and support services, on which revenue is recognized  on a straight line basis over the term of maintenance. Revenue with respect  to other fixed price contracts is recognized on a percentage of completion  basis. Revenue with respect to time-and-material contracts is recognized as  related services are performed. Guidance has been drawn from paragraph 95 of  Statement of Position (‘‘SOP’’) 97-2, ‘‘Software Revenue Recognition’’ to  account for revenue from fixed price arrangements for software development  and related services in conformity with *SOP-81-1  (“Accounting for Performance of Construction - Type and Certain Production -  Type Contracts”)*. The input (cost expended) method has been used  because management considers this to be the best available measure of  progress on these contracts as there is a direct relationship between input  and productivity.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           |

| 2.1.5        | The  asset, “Cost and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted  contracts”, represents revenues recognized in excess of amounts billed. These  amounts are billed after the milestones specified in the agreement are  achieved and the customer acceptance for the same is received. The liability,  “Billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings on uncompleted contracts”,  represents billings in excess of revenues recognized.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    |

| 2.1.6        | Direct  and incremental contract origination and set up costs incurred in connection  with support/maintenance service arrangements are charged to expense as  incurred. These costs are deferred only in situations where there is a  contractual arrangement establishing a customer relationship for a specified  period. The costs to be deferred are limited to the extent of future  contractual revenues. Further, revenue attributable to set up activities is  deferred and recognised systematically over the periods that the related fees  are earned, as services performed during such period do not result in the  culmination of a separate earnings process.

 

Costs  that are incurred for a specific anticipated contract and that will result in  no future benefits unless the contract is obtained, are not included in  contract costs before the receipt of the contract. However, such costs are  deferred, subject to the evaluation of their probable recoverability.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           |

| 2.1.8        | The  Company grants volume discounts to certain customers, which are computed  based on a pre-determined percentage of the total revenues from those  customers during a specified period, as per the terms of the contract. These  discounts are earned only after the customer has provided a specified  cumulative level of revenues in the specified period. The discounts can be  utilized by the customer in the form of free services.

 

The  Company estimates the total number of customers that will ultimately earn  these discounts, based on which a portion of the revenue on the related  transactions is allocated to the free services that will be delivered in the  future. The amount of revenue to be allocated to the free services is based  on the relative fair value of the free services.

 

The  Company reports revenues net of discounts offered to customers. In accounting  for the above volume discounts, guidance has been obtained from *Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) 00-22  “Accounting for “Points” and Certain Other Time-Based or Volume-Based Sales  Incentive Offers, and Offers for Free Products or Services to Be Delivered in  the Future” and EITF 01-09, “Accounting for Consideration Given by a Vendor  to a Customer (Including a Reseller of the Vendor’s Products)”*.  Accordingly, these volume discounts have been recorded based on estimate of  the total number of customers that will ultimately earn these discounts as it  is believed that, based on historical experience, reliable estimates can be  made of the estimated amount of revenues from a particular customer in the  specified period.

 

Reimbursement  of out of pocket expenses received from customers have been included as part  of revenues in accordance with *EITF 01-14  “Income Statement Characterization of Reimbursements Received for ‘Out of  Pocket’ Expenses Incurred”*. |

| 2.1.15       | Goodwill  represents the cost of the acquired businesses in excess of the fair value of  identifiable tangible and intangible net assets purchased. Goodwill is not  amortized but is tested for impairment at least on an annual basis, relying  on a number of factors including operating results, business plans and future  cash flows. Recoverability of goodwill is evaluated using a two-step process.  The first step involves a comparison of the fair value of a reporting unit  with its carrying value. If the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeds  its fair value, the second step of the process involves a comparison of the  fair value and carrying value of the goodwill of that reporting unit. If the  carrying value of the goodwill of a reporting unit exceeds the fair value of  that goodwill, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to the  excess. Goodwill of a reporting unit will be tested for impairment between  annual tests if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more  likely than not reduce the fair value of the reporting unit below its  carrying amount. |

**Notes to the consolidated financial statements(Continued)**

 
| 2.1.16       | Intangible  assets are amortized over their respective individual estimated useful lives  in proportion to the economic benefits consumed in each period. Intangible  assets comprise customer and technology related intangibles and are being  amortized over a period of 5-10 years. The estimated useful life of an  identifiable intangible asset is based on a number of factors including the  effects of obsolescence, demand, competition and other economic factors (such  as the stability of the industry, and known technological advances) and the  level of maintenance expenditures required to obtain the expected future cash  flows from the asset. |

| 2.1.24       | Income  taxes are accounted for under 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 on deferred tax assets and liabilities of changes in tax  rates is recognized in results of operations in the period that includes the  enactment date. The measurement of deferred tax assets is reduced, if  necessary, by a valuation allowance if it is more likely than not that some  portion or all of the assets will not be realised.                                                                                                                                       |

| 2.1.25       | Financial  instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit  risks consist principally of cash, cash equivalents, investments and accounts  receivables. Cash and cash equivalents are invested with corporations,  financial institutions and banks with investment grade credit ratings. To  reduce credit risk, investments are made in a diversified portfolio of mutual  funds, government bonds, which are periodically reviewed.

| 2.1.26       | Contributions  to defined contribution plans are charged to income in the period in which  they accrue. Current services costs for defined benefit plans are accrued in  the period to which they relate, based on actuarial valuation performed by an  independent actuary in accordance with *SFAS  No. 87, “Employers’ Accounting for Pensions”, SFAS No. 132R  “Employers’ Disclosures about Pensions and Other Postretirement Benefits”,  both as amended by SFAS No. 158 “Employer’s Accounting for Defined  Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans”*. The Company  adopted SFAS No. 158 as of December 31, 2006 which requires the net  funded position of the plans to be recognized as an asset or liability in the  employers’ balance sheet. The net effect of adopting this new standard was a  reduction in the stockholders’ equity of $0.8 million. Refer note 18.1.18 for  computation of the net effect.                                         |

| 2.1.27       | The  Company adopted *SFAS No. 123R, “Share-Based  Payment” (SFAS No. 123R)* effective January 1, 2006. This  statement requires compensation expense relating to share-based payments to  be recognized in net income using a fair value measurement method. Under the  fair value method, the estimated fair value of awards is charged to income on  a accelerated basis over the requisite service period, which is generally the  vesting period.The Company elected the modified prospective method as  prescribed in SFAS No. 123R and therefore, prior periods were not restated.  Under the modified prospective method, this statement was applied to new  awards granted after the time of adoption, as well as to the unvested portion  of previously granted equity-based awards for which the requisite service had  not been rendered as of January 1, 2006. The Company granted stock  options under the ‘Patni ESOP 2003’ plan (‘the plan’). See Note 16 for  further discussion. |

**Notes to the consolidated financial statements(Continued)**

 

Share-basedcompensation expense in 2006 reduced the Company’s results of operations asfollows:

 
| ** **                  | ** ** | **2006**  | ** ** |
|-----------------------------|------------|-----------|------------|
| Income before  income taxes |       | $         | 3,984,071  |   |
| Net Income                  |       | 3,299,530 |       |
| Basic earnings  per share   |       | $         | 0.02       |   |

 

Thefair value of each option is estimated on the date of grant using theBlack-Scholes model with the following assumptions. 

 
| **Year ended**      | ** ** | **2006**      | ** ** |
|---------------------|------------|---------------|------------|
| Dividend yield      |       | 0.59% - 0.63% |       |

| 2.1.28 | Prior  to January 1, 2006, the company accounted for share-based employee  compensation under the provisions of SFAS No. 123 using the intrinsic  value method prescribed by APB No. 25 and related interpretations. Under  the intrinsic value method, no compensation expense was recognized for stock  options, as the exercise price of employee stock options equated the market  value of the Company’s stock on the date of grant. The following pro forma  net income and earnings per share information had been determined as if the  Company had accounted for its share-based compensation awards issued using  the fair value method in 2004 and 2005. |

|         | The  Black-Scholes model is a trading pricing model that does not reflect either  the non-traded nature of employee stock options or the limited  transferability of such options. This model also does not consider  restrictions on trading for all employees, including certain restrictions  imposed on senior management of the Company. Therefore, if the Company had  used an option pricing model other than Black-Scholes, pro forma results  different from those shown above may have been reported. |

|  2.1.30 | Prior  to the adoption of SFAS 123R, the Company was required to record benefits  associated with the tax deductions in excess of recognized compensation cost  as an operating cash flow. However SFAS 123R requires that such benefits be  recorded as a financing cash inflow. In the accompanying Consolidated  Statements of Cash Flows for year ended December 31, 2006, tax benefit  of $23,338 has been classified as financing cash flows.                                                        |

| 2.1.32       | The  Company evaluates its risk management program and hedging strategies in  respect of forecasted transactions, and, upon completion of the formal  documentation and testing for effectiveness, the Company designates certain  forward contracts in respect of forecasted transactions, which meet the  hedging criteria, as cash flow hedges. Changes in fair values of designated  cash flow hedges are deferred and recorded as a component of accumulated  other comprehensive income until the hedged transactions occur and are then  recognised in the consolidated statements of income. Changes in fair value  for derivatives not designated as hedging instruments and ineffective portion  of the hedging instruments are recognized in consolidated statements of  income in the current period.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          |

| 2.1.33       | In  respect of derivatives designated as hedges, the Company formally documents  all relationships between hedging instruments and hedged items, as well as  its risk management objective and strategy for undertaking various hedge  transactions. The Company also formally assesses, both at the inception of  the hedge and on an ongoing basis, whether each derivative is highly  effective in offsetting changes in fair values or cash flows of the hedged item.  If it is determined that a derivative is not highly effective as a hedge, or  if a derivative ceases to be a highly effective hedge, the Company will,  prospectively, discontinue hedge accounting with respect to that derivative.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            |

| 2.1.37       | The  Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued *FASB Interpretation No. 48 “Accounting for  Uncertainty in Income Taxes”* (“FIN 48”) in June 2006. FIN 48  clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognised in an  enterprise’s financial statements in accordance with *FASB Statement No. 109 “Accounting for Income  Taxes”.*This Interpretation prescribes a recognition threshold and  measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement  of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The  Interpretation also provides guidance on recognition, classification,  interest, penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and  transition. The Interpretation is effective for fiscal years beginning after  December 15, 2006. The differences, if any between the amounts  recognized in the statements of financial position prior to the adoption of  FIN 48 and the amounts reported after adoption will be accounted for as a  cumulative-effect adjustment recorded to the beginning balance of retained  earnings. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this  Interpretation on its financial statements. |

| 2.1.38       | The  Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued *SFAS No. 157 “Fair Value Measurements”*  (SFAS No. 157) in September 2006. SFAS No. 157 establishes a  framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value  measurements. The changes to current practice resulting from the application  of this Statement relate to the definition of fair value, the methods used to  measure fair value, and the expanded disclosures about fair value  measurements. The Statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after  November 15, 2007 and interim periods within those fiscal years.

|       | On  November 3, 2004, Patni USA acquired 100% equity interest in Patni  Telecom which is engaged in providing IT services to clients in the telecom  sector. The primary purpose for the acquisition was to establish presence in  the Telecom IT services sector. The consolidated financial statements include  the operating results of Patni Telecom from the date of acquisition. The  purchase price of $25,093,065 (including direct expenses of $1,311,150) was  paid in cash. Additionally, in connection with the acquisition, the Company  incurred $10,968,029 of costs relating to certain contract terminations /  settlements and acquisition costs of Patni Telecom. Such costs have been  recognised by the Company as liabilities assumed at the acquisition date resulting  in additional goodwill.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                             |

|       | As  per the Stock Purchase Agreement and amendments thereof, $5,578,772 and  $12,184,832 was paid to the shareholders of Patni Telecom as contingent  consideration based on achievement of certain revenue and margin targets for  the years ended June 30, 2005 and 2006 . This additional consideration  has been recognised as Goodwill arising on acquisition of Patni Telecom. The  terms of the purchase also provide for payment of contingent consideration to  all the selling shareholders, payable over three years, and calculated based  on the achievement of specified revenue and margin targets. The contingent  consideration is payable in cash and cannot exceed $33,000,000, inclusive of  payments under an incentive plan for certain employees as described below.  The Company has followed the consensus reached in *EITF 95-8, “Accounting for Contingent Consideration Paid to the  Shareholders of an Acquired Enterprise in a Purchase Business Combination”*  and accordingly will record the contingent payments, other than payments to  certain employees under the incentive plan, as goodwill in the periods in  which the contingency is resolved. |

|       | Further,  as a part of the acquisition, the Company initiated an incentive plan linked  to revenues and margins, for certain specific employees of Patni Telecom. The  incentive payments under this plan will not exceed $3,400,000 till  June 2007. Since, the incentive payments are linked to continuing  employment, the payments under the plan are recognised as compensation for  post acquisition services. Accordingly, $664,709 and $176,177 have been  recorded as Cost of revenues and Selling, General and Administrative expenses  in the year ended December 31, 2005 respectively and $587,001 and  $756,841 have been recorded Cost of revenues and Selling, General and  Administrative expenses in the year ended December 31, 2006  respectively.

During2006, the Company reached a settlement with the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”)relating to its tax returns of its U.S. operations (Patni USA and its USbranch) for fiscal years 2001 and 2002. The settlement addressed transferpricing, branch tax matters and payroll taxes.

 

TheCompany was unable to substantiate to the IRS that returns pertaining to itsU.S. branch for the years ended March 31, 2002 and 2003 were filed within18 months from the respective due dates and hence were deemed as delinquentreturns by the IRS. Accordingly, the IRS disallowed all of the deductions onthe branch income tax returns and assessed additional income tax obligations ofU.S. $15.2 million. Delinquenttax returns were treated as errors in computation of income taxes for the yearsin which such tax returns were due for filing under the IRS rules and theCompany restated its 2003 and 2004 financial statements for such errors.

 

TheCompany reviewed the adequacy of the previously established tax exposurereserves with respect to prior years in July 2006 in light of certainpositions taken by the IRS during the settlement for 2001 and 2002 and based onsuch positions, the Company revised its estimate for tax exposure relating tovarious income tax matters along with related adjustments to accrued interest.

**Notes to the consolidatedfinancial statements (Continued)**

 

TheIRS settlement for 2001 and 2002 also covered payroll tax matters for which aprovision had previously been established. The settlement resulted in a liability that was less than the amountpreviously provided for, in part due to the liability being offset by anincrease in income tax liability during settlement. As a result, the Companyreduced its accrual for payroll taxes exposure during 2006 with a consequentialreversal of the related deferred tax asset. These revisions to the establishedtax exposure reserves represented a revision to previous reserve estimates, andaccordingly, such amounts have been recorded as part of the consolidatedstatement of income for the Company’s fiscal year ended December 31, 2006as a change in estimate as follows:

| 14.1.1     | The  Company periodically enters into foreign currency forward exchange contracts  to hedge inter company receivables, both anticipated and firm commitments,  denominated in the United States dollar. These contracts reduce foreign  currency risk caused by changes in exchange rates and are used to hedge these  inter company receivables, generally for periods up to 12 months. At  December 31, 2006, the Company’s forward contracts have expiration dates  which range from one to thirteen months.                                                                                                       |

|       | Since  there is a direct relationship between the forward contracts and the currency  denomination of the underlying transaction, such forward contracts are highly  effective in hedging the cash flows of the Company’s inter company  receivables related to transactions denominated in the United States dollar.  These forward contracts meet the criteria for cash flow hedge accounting  treatment and accordingly, gains or losses, are included in other  comprehensive income (loss) and are recognized in the consolidated statement  of income based on occurrence of the underlying third party transaction. |
|       |                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            |
|       | For  forward contracts designated as a cash flow hedge, the hedge effectiveness is  assessed based on changes in fair value attributable to changes in spot  prices and accordingly, the changes in the fair value of the contract related  to the changes in the difference between the spot price and the forward or  futures price would be excluded from assessment of hedge effectiveness and  recognised in consolidated statements of income together with any ineffective  portion of the hedge.                                                                                                                        |

| 17.1.4 | In  assessing the realisability 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 realised. The ultimate realisation of  deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income  during the periods in which the temporary differences and loss carryforwards  are deductible. Management considers the reversal of taxable temporary  differences, the projected future taxable income, tax planning strategies and  impact of tax exemptions currently available to the company, in making this  assessment. Based on the level of historical taxable incomes over the periods  in which the deferred tax assets are deductible, management believes that it  is more likely than not, the Company will realise the benefits of those  deductible differences, net of existing valuation allowances. Taxable income  for the years 2004, 2005 and 2006 aggregated $8,031,173, $16,336,603 and  $29,143,691 respectively. |

| 17.1.6 | The  net change in the year 2004 is attributable to valuation allowance on carry  forward losses of Patni Telecom (which was acquired during the year 2004)  aggregating $2,924,898.  This has been  partly offset by tax benefits of losses utilised during the year aggregating  $81,765.  The net change in the year  2005 is attributable to reversal of valuation allowance on carry forward  losses of Patni Telecom (which was acquired during the year 2004) aggregating  $2,918,367 and reversal of valuation allowance of $67,623 on impairment of  leasehold land. The net change in valuation allowance in the year 2006 is  mainly on account of deferred tax created on business loss of Japan  branch  for the year 2006 aggregating  to $501,719.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     |

| 17.1.8     | Upon acquisition of  Patni Telecom, the Company was entitled to utilize tax benefits on carry  forward business losses of Patni Telecom. Based on preliminary projections of  future taxable income and tax planning strategies, management believed that  there existed sufficient uncertainty regarding realization of tax benefits on  the carry forward losses. Consequently, the Company recorded a valuation  allowance for the carry forward business losses of Patni Telecom. In 2005,  the Company evaluated the expected realisation of such carry forward losses  and available tax planning strategies and believed that the Company would  make sufficient profits in future years to set off the carry forward losses.  Accordingly, the valuation allowance has been reversed and adjusted against  goodwill.                                                                                                                                                                                        |

The tax demand is  mainly on account of disallowance of deduction claimed by the Company under Section 10A  of the Income Tax Act, 1961, in respect of profits earned by its various  eligible undertakings. In January 2007, the management of the Company  has filed an appeal, within the time available under the Income Tax Act,  challenging the disallowance. Considering the facts and nature of  disallowances and based on the advice given by the Company’s legal counsel,  the management believes that the disallowance is not tenable, is confident of  a favourable outcome in appeal proceedings and hence no provision for such  income tax demand is considered necessary. |

Additionally, the  Company is also involved in lawsuits and claims which arise in ordinary  course of business. There are no such matters pending that Patni expects to  be material in relation to its business. |
