                                                    Infosys - Technology at work




                                The future depends on what we do in the present.
                                                                  Mahatma Gandhi
                                                                     (1869-1948)

                                                                       [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.

Awards for excellence
________________________________________________________________________________

                                   "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
<PAGE>

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
wish them the very best and also salute our fellow Infoscions on another year of
sterling achievements.

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.
<PAGE>

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.
<PAGE>

 .  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.

Voice over IP
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

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.


                             [CHART APPEARS HERE]


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.
<PAGE>

 .  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.

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

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.

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,

India, your company signed up Punjab National Bank for deployment of its banking

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.
<PAGE>

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.
<PAGE>

The Kumar Mangalam Birla Committee on Corporate Governance constituted by the
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
the committee have become mandatory from this year, your company complied with
most of the recommendations in fiscal 2000 itself. For fiscal 2001, the
compliance report is provided in the Corporate governance section in this
report. The auditor's certificate on compliance with the mandatory
recommendations of the committee is annexed to this report.

In addition, your directors have documented your company's internal policies on
corporate governance. In line with the committee's recommendations, the
management discussion and analysis of the financial position of the company is
provided in this Annual Report and is incorporated here by reference.

Your company has also provided a compliance report on various corporate
governance recommendations in vogue in six countries, in their local languages,
for the benefit of our shareholders in those countries.

Responsibility statement of the board of directors

The directors' responsibility statement setting out the compliance with the
accounting and financial reporting requirements specified under Section 217
(2AA) of the Companies (Amendment) Act, 2000, in respect of the financial
statements, is annexed to this report.

Your company has introduced various stock option plans for its employees.
Details of these, including grants to senior management, are given below. Senior

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.
<PAGE>

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.

Your directors are happy to report on some of the awards that your company
received during the year.

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:

       applications has been developed.

    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

    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

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,

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.

1.  Business portfolio risks

    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.

</TABLE>

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.

     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.

</TABLE>

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
<PAGE>

     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.
<PAGE>

         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.

     The following table gives depreciation expense and software expense as a
     proportion of revenues for the last three years (based on Indian GAAP).

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.
<PAGE>

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
<PAGE>

     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.
<PAGE>

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
<PAGE>

     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
     handle employee communication.

     4.   Risk management

     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.

Recommendation 1

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.

Recommendation 2

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.
<PAGE>

     As per Indian law, the majority of these require approval of the
     shareholders in the general meeting of the company.
<PAGE>

Recommendation 3

Anti-takeover defences or other measures which restrict the influence of
shareholders should be avoided.

     The company does not have any anti-takeover provisions in its Memorandum
     and Articles of Association.

Recommendation 4a

The process of mergers and takeovers should be regulated and compliance with
these regulations should be supervised.

     Not applicable.

Recommendation 4b

If a shareholder's stake in the company passes a certain threshold, that
shareholder should be obliged to make an offer for the remaining shares under
reasonable conditions, that is, at least the price that was paid for the control
of the company.

     The Securities and Exchange Board of India has published takeover
     guidelines that require an open offer by holders who acquire more than a
     specified percentage of the company.

Recommendation 5

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 listing agreement, Indian companies are required to immediately
     inform stock exchanges about all price-sensitive information. As per the
     takeover guidelines of Securities and Exchange Board of India, shareholders
     who hold more than 5% of the equity of the company need to intimate the
     company immediately on reaching the limit. The company needs to immediately
     notify the stock exchanges on which it is listed, upon receipt of such
     information.

Recommendation 6

Auditors have to be independent and should be elected by the general meeting.

     This recommendation is complied with.

Recommendation 7

Shareholders should be able to place items on the agenda of the AGM.

     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.

Recommendation 8

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

Shareholders shall have the right to elect members of at least one board and
shall also be able to file a resolution for dismissal. Prior to the election,
shareholders should be able to suggest candidate members of the board.

     As per Indian law, directors are elected by members in the general meeting,
     either by show of hands or a poll.

Recommendation 10a

The membership of non-executives on the board, whether in a one-tier or two-tier
system (member of the supervisory board), should be limited to a maximum period
of twelve years.

     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.
     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.

Recommendation 10b

No more than one non-executive board member should have served as an executive
member of the company.

     All the non-executive directors of the company, as of date, are independent
     directors.

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".
<PAGE>

     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.
<PAGE>

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
     academic worlds. They are financially literate.

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.
<PAGE>

     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.

     reporting process with a view to ensure accurate, timely and proper
     disclosures and the transparency, integrity and quality of financial
     reporting.

     objectivity of the internal auditor.

     2.4  Review with the independent auditor the co-ordination of audit efforts

               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
<PAGE>

             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.

          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

          -  the independent auditors have discussed with the committee their

             without management or the independent auditors present, the

             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

Annexure to the auditors' report
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Annexure referred to in paragraph 1 of the auditors' report to the members
of Infosys Technologies Limited (the company) for the year ended March 31, 2001.
We report that:

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.

Internal controls

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
     .    authorisation and control over the allocation of labour costs to each
          project.
3.   In our opinion, the company has an internal audit system, commensurate with
     its size and the nature of its business.

Fixed assets
4.   The company has maintained proper records of fixed assets showing full
     particulars, including quantitative details and location. The company has a
     regular programme of physical verification of its fixed assets which, in
     our opinion, is reasonable having regard to the size of the company and the
     nature of its assets. In accordance with this programme, certain fixed
     assets were physically verified by management during the year and no
     material discrepancies were identified on such verification.
5.   None of the fixed assets were revalued during the year.

Inventories
6.   The company has not maintained any inventories during the year and
     consequently, paragraphs 4(A)(iii) to 4(A)(vi), 4(A)(xii), 4(A)(xiv) and
     4(A)(xvi) of the Manufacturing and Other Companies (Auditor's Report)
     Order, 1988, are not applicable in relation to its activities.

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:
<PAGE>

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

     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.
<PAGE>

     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.

13.2 Notes on accounts

     The previous year's figures have been recast / restated, wherever
     necessary, to conform to the current year's classification.

     13.2.1   Capital commitments and contingent liabilities

     a. The estimated amount of contracts remaining to be executed on capital
        account, and not provided for (net of advances) is Rs. 158,25,35,171 as

     b. The company has outstanding guarantees and counter guarantees of Rs.
        6,83,05,000 as at March 31, 2001, to various banks, in respect of the

        Rs. 93,12,00,000 at year-end exchange rates) at March 31, 2001 (previous
        year - US$ Nil).

     13.2.2   Quantitative details

     The company is engaged in the development and maintenance of computer
     software. The production and sale of such software cannot be expressed in
     any generic unit. Hence, it is not possible to give the quantitative
     details of sales and certain information as required under paragraphs 3, 4C
     and 4D of part II of Schedule VI to the Companies Act, 1956.

     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

     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

     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
     would have been reduced to the pro forma amounts indicated below.

     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

     The cash and bank balances include interest accrued but not due on
     fixed deposits amounting to Rs.1,94,43,708 for the year ended March 31,
     2001 (previous year - Rs. 94,92,514).

     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

     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
     the details of the same are given below:

     Also, during the previous year, an amount of Rs. 1,01,93,113 was incurred
     in connection with the registration of the ADS linked stock option plan

     located in India. The details of services are given below:

     performed at the company's own facilities. Therefore, any increase in the
     onsite effort puts pressure on the margins of the company. The details are

     Other income as a percentage to total income declined from 4.25% in the
     previous year to 3.03% in the current year. The reduction is mainly due to
     software revenues growing faster than the treasury income. Also, there has
     been a reduction in income from sale of special import licenses issued by
     the government based on export performance of the company. The average
     yield on the deposits earned by the company is given below:

     Employee costs comprise approximately 37% and 36% of total revenue for the
     years ended March 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively. The increase is due to
     an increase in the average number of unbilled employees during the year due
     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
     utilization rates of the employees is as below:

     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.

8.   Net profit

     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 current year as compared to Rs. 246,80,74,724 (27.97% 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
<PAGE>

     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.

     The details of the grants made (adjusted for stock-split, as applicable)
     under the plan is provided below:

     *Includes 49 employees who were granted ADS options twice. Therefore, the
     effective number of employees granted options is 752.

     During the year, 12,434 options issued under the 1998 plan were exercised
     and the remaining ADS options unexercised and outstanding as at March 31,
     2001 were 15,65,506.

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.

     The details of the grants made (adjusted for stock-split, as applicable)
     under the plan is provided below:

     *Includes 360 employees who were granted options twice. Therefore, the
     effective number of employees granted options is 9,376.

     During the year, 1,200 options issued under the 1999 plan were exercised
     and the remaining options unexercised and outstanding as at March 31, 2001
     were 27,93,980.

     The total number of existing employees offered stock options under 1994,
     1998 and 1999 plans is 9,767.

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.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
</TABLE>

     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.
<PAGE>

     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

     The amount relates to the transfer of intellectual property rights to
     OnMobile Systems Inc. (formerly Onscan Inc.), USA.

     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:

and the notes thereto.

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
<PAGE>

     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
<PAGE>

     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
<PAGE>

     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.

<PAGE>

     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.
<PAGE>

     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.

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.
<PAGE>

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
<PAGE>

     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.

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.
<PAGE>

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
<PAGE>

      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.
<PAGE>

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 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.

                                                                  /s/ KPMG

     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.
<PAGE>

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
<PAGE>

     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

     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

2.14  Research and development

      General and administrative expenses in the accompanying statements of
      income include research and development expenses of $ 3,610,550, $
      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.

</TABLE>

      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.

2.18  Financial instruments

      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.

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.

     Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs), Financial Institutions (FIs) and

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.

The Infosys management cautions investors that these data are provided only as
additional information to investors. Using such reports for predicting the
future of Infosys, or any other company, is risky. The Infosys management is not

Notes:

   .    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.

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
<PAGE>

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:

</TABLE>

     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.

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

                             [CHARTS APPEAR HERE]

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
         Karnataka folklore festival, featuring many distinguished artistes from
         Janapada Samshodhana Kendra of Dharwad, was organized in April 2000.
         Yoga, the art of living a healthy life, is being promoted by the
         Foundation. The Foundation is also adopting, for a period of one year,
         guilds that are engaged in handicrafts.

                                    compliance with GAAP requirements of various
                         countries and reports of compliance with the respective
                                                  corporate governance standards


                             [GRAPH 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.

Corporate governance report - 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.

Corporate governance report - Canada
________________________________________________________________________________

     "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.

Corporate governance report - Japan
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
     "The practice of good corporate governance has therefore become a necessary
         pre-requisite for any corporation to manage effectively in the
         globalized market." - Corporate Governance Committee, Corporate
         Governance forum of Japan, October 30, 1997

     The Corporate Governance forum of Japan instituted the "Corporate
     Governance Committee" to look into various aspects of corporate governance
     principles to be applicable to Japanese companies. The committee submitted
     its report on October 30, 1997.

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

     1.  Principle 7A and 10B - Independence of the board function - 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.
     2.  Principle 8B - Majority of the board being independent directors - As
         of date, the total board strength is 16 consisting of 8 executive
         directors and 8 independent directors.
     3.  Principle 12A - Designating more than one independent auditor - The
         company has in place an independent audit committee since fiscal 1998.
         The audit committee currently comprises five independent and non-
         executive directors. Both the internal and external auditors of the
         company attend all audit committee meetings to brief the members. The
         committee also requires the presence of various heads of departments,
         on various matters concerning their departments, as and when it deems
         fit.
     4.  Principle 16A - Information meetings for major shareholders apart from
         the shareholders' meetings - The entire proceedings of the annual
         general meeting are webcast over the Internet and are accessible across
         the world.

Corporate governance report - United Kingdom
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Good corporate governance is not just a matter of prescribing particular
corporate structures and complying with a number of hard and fast rules." -
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.

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
<PAGE>

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.
