FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This quarterly report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Forward-looking statements include, among other things, business strategy and expectations concerning industry conditions, market position, future operations, margins, profitability, liquidity and capital resources. Forward-looking statements generally can be identified by the use of terminology such as “may,” “will,” “expect,” “intend,” “estimate,” “anticipate” or “believe” or similar expressions or the negatives thereof. These expectations are based on management’s assumptions and current beliefs based on currently available information. Although the Company believes that the expectations reflected in such statements are reasonable, it can give no assurance that such expectations will be correct. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this quarterly report on Form 10-Q and the Company does not have any obligation to update the forward looking statements. The Company’s operations are subject to a number of uncertainties, risks and other influences, many of which are outside its control, and any one of which, or a combination of which, could cause its actual results of operations to differ materially from the forward-looking statements. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from its expectations are disclosed in Part I, Item 2, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” and listed under Item 1A “Risk Factors” in our annual report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2008 and elsewhere in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q.

INTELLIGROUP, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
September 30, 2009 AND 2008

NOTE 1- BASIS OF PRESENTATION

     The condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying financial information as of September 30, 2009 and for the three and nine month period ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 are unaudited and, in the opinion of management, include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) which the Company considers necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position of the Company at such dates and the operating results and cash flows for those periods. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and the instructions of Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Pursuant to accounting requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission applicable to quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and these notes do not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for audited financial statements. Accordingly, these statements should be read in conjunction with the accounting policies and notes to consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements filed on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2008.

     The amounts for the December 31, 2008 balance sheet have been extracted from the audited consolidated financial statements included in our annual report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2008.

     The results of the Company’s operations for the three and nine month period ended September 30, 2009 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2009.

     Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified in the consolidated financial statements to conform to the 2009 presentation. Prepaid taxes which represent taxes paid under protest to the tax authorities in India (please refer to Income Taxes under Note 2 below on Summary of Significant Accounting Policies), previously included as current assets, have now been classified under non-current assets since the recoverability of such prepayments is not determinable.

NOTE 2- SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Cash and Cash Equivalents

     The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments and other short-term investments with a maturity of three months or less, when purchased, to be cash equivalents.

      The Company maintains cash and cash equivalent balances at several financial institutions that are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to $250,000. The Company maintains cash balances in excess of insured amounts.

     The Company did not have any cash equivalents as at September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008.

Revenue Recognition and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

     The Company generates revenue from professional services rendered to customers. Revenue is recognized under the Company’s contracts generally when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the sales price is fixed or determinable and collection of amounts billed is reasonably assured. The majority of our revenue is generated under time-and-material contracts whereby costs and revenue are recognized as services are performed, with the corresponding cost of providing those services reflected as cost of revenue. The majority of customers are billed on an hourly or daily basis whereby actual time is charged directly to the customer. Such method is expected to result in reasonably consistent profit margins over the contract term.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
September 30, 2009 AND 2008

NOTE 2- SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

     The Company also derives a portion of our revenue from fixed-price, fixed-time contracts. Revenue generated from most fixed-price contracts, including most application management and support contracts, is recognized ratably over the contract term. Certain fixed price contracts are for implementation services, including design and modification, for which specifications are provided by the customer. The scope of the work is usually defined in terms of overall deliverables and the revenue for such work is ultimately earned by achieving the deliverables. We consider the performance of service towards the planned deliverable as partial execution of the deliverable and hence the revenue generated from such fixed-price contracts is recognized using the percentage of completion (POC) method. The POC method recognizes the legal and economic results of contract performance on a timely basis. This method of accounting relies on estimates of total expected contract revenues and costs. Where the contracts involve only implementation services, the Company recognizes revenue based on a proportional performance method. The pattern of performance on these contracts closely resembles the time spent by our employees and therefore efforts-expended, measured based on the cost of the employee’s time, is used as a measure for the proportion of services rendered in relation to the total services expected to be rendered.

     The use of the POC method or the proportional performance method requires significant judgment relative to estimating the number of hours or days required to complete the contracted scope of work, including assumptions and estimates relative to the length of time to complete the project and the nature and complexity of the work to be performed. Our project delivery and business unit finance personnel continually review labor hours incurred and estimated total labor hours, which may result in revisions to the amount of recognized revenue for the contract. Changes in estimates are accounted for in the period of change. If we do not accurately estimate the resources required or the scope of work to be performed for a contract or if we do not manage the project properly within the planned time period, then a loss may have to be recognized on the contract. Losses are recorded in the period when they become known, and estimated through the completion of the contract.

     We occasionally derive revenue from projects involving multiple revenue-generating activities. Accordingly, the revenue from such projects is accounted for in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC) 605-25 (Previously Emerging Issues Task Force of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Issue No. 00-21), “Accounting for Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables.” If a contract involves the provision of multiple service elements, total estimated contract revenue is allocated to each element based on the relative fair value of each element. The amount of revenue allocated to each element is limited to the amount that is not contingent upon the delivery of another element in the future. Revenue for each element is then recognized as described above depending upon whether the contract is a time-and-materials contract or a fixed-price, fixed-time contract.

     Any estimation process, including that used in preparing contract accounting models, involves inherent risk. We reduce the inherent risk relating to revenue and cost estimates in proportional performance models through approval and monitoring processes. Risks relating to service delivery, usage, productivity and other factors are considered in the estimation process.

     The Company accrues for revenue and receivables for services rendered between the last billing date and the balance sheet date. Unbilled services as of September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008 represent services provided through the nine month period ended September 30, 2009 and the year ended December 31, 2008, respectively, which is billed subsequent to the balance sheet date. All such amounts are anticipated to be collected in the following year.

     Reimbursements of out-of-pocket expenses received from clients have been included as part of revenues in accordance with ASC No. 605-45 (previously EITF 01-14), “Income Statement Characterization of Reimbursements Received for “Out-of-Pocket” Expenses Incurred.”

September 30, 2009 AND 2008

NOTE 2- SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

     We establish billing terms at the time project deliverables are agreed, and we continually monitor timely payments from customers and assess collection issues. We maintain allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of our clients to make required payments. We base our estimates on historical collection and write-off experience, current trends, credit policy, detailed analysis of specific client situations and percentage of accounts receivable by aging category.

Earnings per Common Share

     Basic net income per share (“EPS”) is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share include additional dilution from potential common stock, such as stock issuable pursuant to the exercise of stock options. Potential common stock is not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share when the exercise price of the outstanding options exceeds the current market value or the Company reports a loss because to do so would be anti-dilutive for the periods presented.

     For the nine month period ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively, the weighted average number of shares used in calculating diluted earnings per share includes stock options for 139,973 and 279,248 respectively. For the three month period ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively, the weighted average number of shares used in calculating diluted earnings per share includes stock options for 497,942 and 420,355 respectively.

     For the nine month period ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively, options to purchase 1,608,407 and 1,291,054 shares of common stock were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because inclusion would have been anti-dilutive. For the three month period ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively, options to purchase, 1,141,584 and 335,138 shares of common stock were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because inclusion would have been anti-dilutive.

     As explained in Note 6 below, the Company engaged in a share repurchase program through which it repurchased 1,197,881 shares as of September 30, 2009.

Income Taxes

     The Company records tax expense/benefit based upon the taxable income/loss recorded in each tax jurisdiction. The Company recorded an income tax expense of $0.5 million and $0.5 million on a pretax income of $4.1 million and $3.2 million for the three month period ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively and an income tax expense of $1.6 million and $1.1 million on a pretax income of $9.2 million and $6.8 million for the nine month period ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

     The effective tax rate has decreased to a tax provision of 12% during the three month period ended September 30, 2009 from a tax provision of 14% during the three month period ended September 30, 2008. The effective tax rate has increased to a tax provision of 18% during the nine month period ended September 30, 2009 from a tax provision of 16% during the nine month period ended September 30, 2008. Changes in the effective rate of taxes are due to the changes in the geographic distribution of our income and changes in non taxable income. The difference between the income tax rates for the 2009 and 2008 periods and the statutory rate is primarily due to the existence of carried forward net operating losses in the U.S. locations and earnings taxed in countries that have rates lower than the United States.

     The Company’s India subsidiary received tax assessments for the fiscal years ended March 31, 1998 through 2003 and fiscal year ended March 31, 2005, challenging the tax exemptions of certain revenue earned and disallowing certain expenses. The Company has deposited additional tax of INR 41.1 million (or approximately $0.9 million) under protest, net of allowance of $0.1 million, as at September 30, 2009 consequent to the above tax assessments.

September 30, 2009 AND 2008

NOTE 2- SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

     The Company’s India subsidiary received tax assessments for the fiscal years ended March 31, 1998 to 2003 demanding an additional tax of INR 30.1 million (or approximately $0.6 million). The amounts were deposited by the Company under protest. The Company is under litigation in connection with these assessments and received a favorable judgment in 2007 for the fiscal years ended March 31, 1998 through March 31, 2000. The judgment refunded approximately $0.2 million of the amount deposited for the year ended March 31, 1998, while $0.2 million is pending to be received from the tax authorities for the year ended March 31, 1999. While processing the above refund an amount of INR 2.5 million (or approximately $0.1 million) for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2000 had been deducted by the tax authorities challenging certain tax exemptions that the Company had previously been permitted to take. The Company is under litigation against this order and does not expect a favorable decision. This has been fully reserved for as of September 30, 2009.

     During the three month period ended June 30, 2009, the Company deposited an amount of INR 2.8 million (or approximately $0.1 million) under protest against the order passed by the tax authorities challenging certain tax exemptions, the Company was previously permitted to take for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2001. Further, for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2005, an amount of INR 20.4 million (or approximately $0.4 million) had been deposited by the Company under protest, during the three month period ended March 31, 2009, against an assessment order passed by the tax authorities, challenging the transfer pricing methodology followed by the Company and non submission of evidence in support of foreign inward remittance. The Company has not recorded a reserve on the additional tax paid under protest as it believes its tax position will most likely be sustained based on independent merits.

     U.S. and Indian transfer pricing regulations require that any international transaction involving associated enterprises be at an arm’s-length price. Transactions among the Company’s subsidiaries and the Company may be required to satisfy such requirements. Accordingly, the Company determines the pricing among its associated enterprises on the basis of detailed functional and economic analysis involving benchmarking against transactions among entities that are not under common control. If the applicable income tax authorities review any of the Company’s tax returns and determine that the transfer price applied was not appropriate, the Company may incur increased tax liability, including accrued interest and penalties.

Goodwill and Intangibles

     The Company does not amortize goodwill but instead tests goodwill at the reporting unit level for impairment at least annually or as circumstances warrant. If impairment is indicated, a write down to fair value (normally measured discounting estimated cash flows) is recorded. Other intangibles represent customer relationships which are amortized on a straight line basis over their estimated useful lives.

Pension Plan Liability

     The Company provides its employees in India with benefits under a defined benefit pension plan, referred to as the “Gratuity Plan”. The Gratuity Plan provides a lump sum payment to vested employees on retirement or on termination of employment in an amount based on the respective employee’s salary and years of employment. The Company determines its liability under the Gratuity Plan by actuarial valuation using the projected unit credit method. Under this method, the Company determines liability based upon the discounted value of salary increases until the date of separation arising from retirement, death, resignation or other termination of services. Critical assumptions used in measuring the plan expense and projected liability under the projected unit credit method include the discount rate, expected return on assets and the expected increase in the compensation rates. The Company evaluates these critical assumptions at least annually. The Company periodically evaluates and updates other assumptions used in the projected unit credit method involving demographic factors, such as retirement age and turnover rate, to reflect its experience. The mortality rates used are consistent with those published by the Life Insurance Corporation of India.

The discount rate used is equal to the yield on high quality fixed income investments in India at the measurement date. The expected rate of return on plan assets is estimated based on available market information, Indian law which regulates such investments and historical returns. The measurement date for these employee retirement benefits coincides with reporting date of the financial statements. The Company adopted the recognition and disclosure requirements of ASC 715-20, “Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans” (Previously SFAS No. 158—An Amendment of FASB No. 87, 88, 106 and 132(R)) as of December 31, 2006 and the measurement date requirement as of January 1, 2008. The implementation of this standard did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

Share-Based Compensation Plans

     The Company’s share-based compensation plans are described in Note 6. The Company adopted the provisions of ASC 718 (previously SFAS No. 123R) on January 1, 2006, using the modified prospective transition method.

     There were no share-based payment awards granted during the three and nine month period ended September 30, 2009. The Company recognizes compensation expense for all share-based payment awards based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of ASC 718.

     The fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option valuation model. The Company recognizes the fair value of each option as compensation expense ratably using the straight-line attribution method over the service period (generally the vesting period). The Black-Scholes model incorporates the following assumptions:

  • Expected volatility – the Company estimates the volatility of common stock at the date of grant using a combination of unadjusted historical volatility, and historical volatility adjusted for periods of unusual stock price activity.

  • Expected term – the Company estimates the expected term of options granted based on a combination of vesting schedules, life of the option, historical experience and in cases where the Company does not have significant historical experience, the simplified method of determining expected term outlined in ASC 718 (previously Staff Accounting Bulletin(“SAB”) 107 and SAB 110) is used.

  • Risk-free interest rate – the Company estimates the risk-free interest rate using the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant for periods equal to the expected life of the options.

  • Dividends – the Company uses an expected dividend yield of zero since it has never declared or paid any dividends on its capital stock. The Company intends to retain any earnings to fund future growth and the operation of its business, and, therefore does not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future.

     Additionally, the Company estimates forfeitures at the time of grant and revises those estimates in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. It uses a combination of historical data, demographic characteristics and other factors to estimate pre-vesting option forfeitures and record share-based compensation expense only for those awards that are expected to vest. ASC 718 requires the cash flows resulting from the tax benefits for tax deductions in excess of the compensation expense recorded for those options to be classified as financing cash flows. The Company issued 78,062 and 11,225 shares upon exercise of options during the three and nine month period ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

     Effective July 1, 2009, the Company adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 105-10, Generally Accepted Accounting Principles – Overall (ASC 105-10). ASC 105-10 establishes the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (the Codification) as the source of authoritative accounting principles recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities in the preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP. Rules and interpretive releases of the SEC under authority of federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative U.S. GAAP for SEC registrants. All guidance contained in the Codification carries an equal level of authority. The Codification superseded all existing non-SEC accounting and reporting standards. All other non-grandfathered, non-SEC accounting literature not included in the Codification is non-authoritative. The FASB will not issue new standards in the form of Statements, FASB Staff Positions or Emerging Issues Task Force Abstracts. Instead, it will issue Accounting Standards Updates (ASUs). The FASB will not consider ASUs as authoritative in their own right. ASUs will serve only to update the Codification, provide background information about the guidance and provide the bases for conclusions on the change(s) in the Codification. References made to FASB guidance throughout this document have been updated for the Codification.

     The Company elected a partial deferral of ASC 820-10 (previously SFAS No 157) related to the measurement of fair value used when evaluating goodwill, other intangible assets, and other long-lived assets for impairment. We adopted the provisions of this statement for non-financial assets and liabilities effective January 1, 2009. This adoption did not have impact on its Consolidated Financial statements.

     In December 2007, the FASB issued ASC 805 Business Combinations (previously SFAS 141R). ASC 805 establishes principles and requirements for how an acquirer recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, any non controlling interest in the acquiree and the goodwill acquired. ASC 805 also establishes disclosure requirements to enable the evaluation of the nature and financial effects of the business combination. This statement was adopted beginning January 1, 2009. There was no significant impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations as a result of the adoption of ASC 805.

     In March 2008, the FASB issued ASC 815 (previously SFAS No. 161), Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, which requires additional disclosures about the objectives of using derivative instruments, the method by which the derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for and its related interpretations, and the effect of derivative instruments and related hedged items on financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. ASC 815 also requires disclosure of the fair values of derivative instruments and their gains and losses in a tabular format. ASC 815 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008, with early adoption encouraged. The Company adopted this standard effective January 1, 2009. The implementation of this standard did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. (Please see Note 10 below for the expanded disclosure regarding derivative instruments in accordance with the pronouncement).

     In April 2009, the FASB issued ASC 320-10 (previously FSP SFAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2), Recognition and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments. This FSP amends the other-than-temporary impairment guidance for debt securities to make the guidance more operational and to improve the presentation and disclosure of other-than-temporary impairments in the financial statements. The most significant change the ASC brings is a revision to the amount of other-than-temporary loss of a debt security recorded in earnings. The Company adopted this standard effective April 1, 2009. The implementation of this standard did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 2- SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

     In April 2009, the FASB issued ASC 820-10 (previously FSP SFAS 157-4), Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly. This ASC provides additional guidance for estimating fair value, Fair Value Measurements, when the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability have significantly decreased. This ASC also includes guidance on identifying circumstances that indicate a transaction is not orderly. This ASC emphasizes that even if there has been a significant decrease in the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability and regardless of the valuation technique(s) used, the objective of a fair value measurement remains the same. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction (that is, not a forced liquidation or distressed sale) between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions. The Company adopted this standard effective April 1, 2009. The implementation of this standard did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

     In April 2009, the FASB issued ASC 825-10 (previously FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1), Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments. Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments require disclosures about fair value of financial instruments for interim reporting periods of publicly traded companies as well as in annual financial statements. The Company adopted this standard effective April 1, 2009. (Please see Note 10 below for the expanded disclosure on the fair value of financial instruments in accordance with the pronouncement).

     In May 2009, the FASB issued ASC 855 (previously SFAS No. 165), Subsequently. ASC 855 established general standards of accounting for the disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. The adoption of ASC 855 required us to disclose the date through which we have evaluated subsequent events and whether that date is the date the financials were issued. The Company adopted this standard effective April 1, 2009. (Please see Note 14 below for the disclosure on subsequent events in accordance with the pronouncement).

     In August 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2009-05, “Measuring Liabilities at Fair Value” (“ASU 2009-05”). The amendments in this ASU apply to all entities that measure liabilities at fair value and provides clarification for circumstances in which a quoted price in an active market for the identical liability is not available, an entity is required to measure fair value using one or more techniques laid out in this ASU. The guidance provided in this ASU is effective for the first reporting period (including reporting periods) beginning after issuance. The Company does not expect the adoption of this ASU to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

     In October 2009, the FASB issued ASU 2009-13, Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements, (amendments to FASB ASC Topic 605, Revenue Recognition) (“ASU 2009-13”). ASU 2009-13 requires entities to allocate revenue in an arrangement using estimated selling prices of the delivered goods and services based on a selling price hierarchy. The amendments eliminate the residual method of revenue allocation and require revenue to be allocated using the relative selling price method. ASU 2009-13 is effective on a prospective basis for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified in fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010, with early adoption permitted. ASU 2009-13 will become effective for the Company with its fiscal year beginning January 1, 2011.

     Share Repurchase Program:

     On October 24 2008, our Board of Directors approved a share repurchase program of up to $5,000,000 of the Company's common stock over an 18 month period ending April 24, 2010. The share repurchase program will be funded using the Company's working capital and authorizes the Company to repurchase shares from time to time through open market or privately negotiated transactions. The Company also has adopted a Rule 10b5-1 trading plan and intends to adopt additional Rule 10b5-1 trading plans that will allow the Company to purchase its shares at times when it ordinarily would not be in the market due to its internal trading policy. The program will expire on the earlier of (i) the repurchase of the maximum number of shares under the program, (ii) the 18 month anniversary of the approval of the program or (iii) a determination by the Board of Directors to discontinue the program. The Company is not obligated to continue to repurchase shares under the authorization or enter into additional Rule 10b5-1 trading plan and the timing; actual number and value of shares purchased will depend on many factors, including the Company’s cash flow and the liquidity and price performance of its shares.

     As of Sep 30, 2009, a total of 1,197,881 shares have been repurchased at an average price of $1.65 out of which 446,931 and 1,118,581 shares were repurchased at an average price of $1.89 and $1.65 during three and nine month period ended September 30, 2009, respectively. All the repurchased shares are constructively retired.

NOTE 8- COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

     On July 5, 2000, the Company distributed SeraNova common stock to its shareholders in a transaction that was structured to be and was reported as a tax-free spin-off pursuant to Section 355 of the Internal Revenue Code (“IRC Section 355”). For distributions of stock qualifying under IRC Section 355, neither the Company nor the Company’s shareholders recognize any gain or income in connection with the transaction for US federal income tax purposes. The Company and SeraNova executed a Tax Sharing Agreement, dated January 1, 2000 (“Tax Sharing Agreement”), whereby SeraNova would indemnify the Company for any tax liabilities in the event a future transaction of SeraNova results in the spin-off is being deemed a taxable event. On October 27, 2000, SeraNova and Silverline Technologies, Inc. announced that they had entered into an agreement and plan of merger, under which Silverline Technologies, Inc. would acquire control of SeraNova in exchange for American depository shares of Silverline. Subsequently, SeraNova and Silverline Technologies, Inc. filed for Chapter 7 Bankruptcy on August 8, 2003. As a condition to the distribution, SeraNova management represented that there was no present plan, nor intent to enter into a subsequent transaction that would disturb the intended tax–free nature of the distribution.

NOTE 8- COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES (Continued)

     IRC Section 355(e) provides that the Company may be required to recognize a gain equal to the excess of the fair market value of the SeraNova shares distributed over their tax basis if the distribution is part of a plan pursuant to which one or more persons acquire 50% or more of SeraNova common stock within two years of the distribution date. Should the spin-off ultimately be construed as taxable the resultant tax liability could be in the range of $55 million to $65 million and related penalties (if assessed) and interest could increase the amount by $45 million to $55 million as of September 30, 2009, depending on the facts that ultimately are established. No future benefits would inure to the Company as a result of imposition of a tax on the SeraNova distribution, and no reserve has been recorded for this potential tax. However, should such a tax liability be imposed, the Company may be able to utilize some of its existing net operating losses to mitigate this tax liability.

   Employment Agreements

     As of September 30, 2009, the Company had employment agreements with certain of its executive officers, which provide for minimum payments in the event of termination for reasons other than just cause. The aggregate amount of compensation commitment in the event of termination under such agreements is approximately $1.6 million.

     In addition, the Company’s wholly controlled and majority owned subsidiary Intelligroup Asia Pvt. Ltd. (“IGA”) had entered into Severance Packages totaling approximately $0.6 million with certain former members of the IGA management team. Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement for Severance Package, the Severance Package is activated upon the fulfillment of certain events, including a change in management of the Company or IGA. In April 2005, following the termination of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, three members of the IGA management team, each of whom had a Severance Package, resigned. Except as set forth below, to date, the Company has not received any claim for payment of the Severance Package. In September 2005, two former members of the IGA management team sent IGA notices under Section 433 and 434 of the Indian Companies Act, 1956 for payment of such Severance Package. Such claims have not been pursued since such initial notice was served, and the Company does not believe that such severance amount is owed. In the event the Company is unsuccessful in defending against such claim for payment, the Company would owe approximately $0.6 million to such individuals.

     b)      Reported as ‘Restricted cash and investments’ on the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2009. (Please refer note 9 – Restricted cash and investments.) The fair value is the face value of the instruments plus interest accrued up to September 30, 2009.

The short-term investments and term deposits referred above are considered as trading securities. The carrying value of these investments as of September 30, 2009 approximates the fair value. Unrealized gains of $0.5 million and realized gains of $0.1 million on these investments were recorded for the three and nine month period ended September 30, 2009. Gross proceeds from sale of such investments amounted to approximately $14.1 millions for the nine month period ended September 30, 2009. A gain of $0.1 million was recorded on the sale of such investments.

c) Represents non convertible debentures reported under ‘Restricted cash and Investments’ on the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2009. (Please refer note 9 – Restricted cash and investments.) The fair value is derived based on market related inputs.
d) Reported under current liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The fair value is derived through external valuation based on market related inputs.

Derivative Instruments:

     In the normal course of business, the Indian subsidiary of the Company actively looks to mitigate the exposure of foreign currency market risk, by entering into various derivative instruments, authorized under Company policies, with counterparties that are highly rated financial institutions. The primary exchange rate exposure of the Indian subsidiary is to the US Dollars.

Item 2 Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (Continued)

  • we may be subject to increased tax liabilities, including if the spin-off in 2000 of our former subsidiary, SeraNova, is determined to be taxable. We could be liable in the range of $55 million to $65 million and related penalties (if assessed) and interest could increase the amount by $45 million to $55 million. In July 2000, we completed the tax-free spin-off of SeraNova, our former subsidiary. In March 2001, SeraNova and Silverline Technologies Limited (“Silverline”) consummated the acquisition of SeraNova by Silverline. Had the acquisition of SeraNova by Silverline been contemplated at the time of the spin-off, the spin-off would have been a taxable transaction. Based upon the information available to the us, we believe that such acquisition was not contemplated at the time of the spin-off of SeraNova by Intelligroup, and accordingly should not impact the tax-free nature of the spin-off. However, if it were determined that the spin-off was taxable, Intelligroup may have to bear the liability to pay such tax liability, which would be material. Please refer to Note 9 to the financial statements on in our annual report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2008; and
     
  • the factors listed under “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our annual report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2008 and other reports that we file with the SEC.

     All forward-looking statements are expressly qualified in their entirety by this cautionary notice. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this report. We have no obligation, and expressly disclaim any obligation, to update, revise or correct any of the forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. We have expressed our expectations, beliefs and projections in good faith and we believe they have a reasonable basis. However, we cannot assure you that our expectations, beliefs or projections will result or be achieved or accomplished.

Overview

     The Company plans, consults, builds, supports and manages enterprise resource planning (“ERP”) solutions based on SAP, Oracle, PeopleSoft and Microsoft applications and technology platforms and also provide services around business intelligence, ERP Infrastructure Management, E-Business ERP Integration, ERP Testing and business process outsourcing or “BPO” and knowledge process outsourcing or “KPO”.

     The Company helps its customers align and optimize their technology platforms, primarily their ERP systems, with their businesses. While historically ERP providers had focused on providing solutions for large market companies with revenues of over $5 billion such systems have increasingly become mission critical for companies with revenues of between $500 million and $5 billion (“Mid-Tier Market”) or more, as these systems are used to help them drive greater revenue and productivity as well as to better manage and control costs.

     The Company has worked to position itself as the “go-to” partner for companies looking for an ERP and extended ERP solutions partner particularly for Mid-Tier Market and that positioning provides it with an important competitive edge. This positioning is reflected in the fact that over 90% of our business is generated from ERP-driven projects.

     In this Section, the Company will discuss the following: (i) key factors in evaluating the Company’s financial performance; (ii) application of critical accounting principles, which explains the accounting principles necessary to understand how the Company records its financial information; (iii) results of operations - consolidated, in which the Company’s consolidated results are compared period to period to recognize trends; (iv) results of operations by business segment, which allows the Company to compare the results of its different business units; (v) liquidity and capital resources; (vi) recent accounting pronouncements, which identifies new accounting literature that may have an impact on the Company’s future results and (vii) a discussion of our business outlook.

Key Factors in Evaluating the Company’s Financial Performance

     Management believes the following factors should be considered when evaluating the Company’s reported financial information contained in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

23


INTELLIGROUP, INC.

Item 2 Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (Continued)

Revenue

     The majority of the Company’s revenue is derived from professional services rendered to customers. Revenue is typically recognized as services are performed. The Company’s services range from providing customers with a single consultant to multi-personnel full-scale projects. Although the Company has contracts with many of its customers to provide its services, in general, such contracts are terminable upon relatively short notice, typically not more than 30 days. There can be no assurance that the Company’s customers will continue to enter into contracts with the Company or that existing contracts will not be terminated. The Company provides its services either directly to end-user organizations, or as a member of a consulting team assembled by another IT consulting firm. Where contractual provisions permit, customers also are billed for reimbursement of expenses incurred by the Company on the customers’ behalf.

Fixed Price Projects

     The Company has provided services on certain projects in which it, at the request of the clients, offers a fixed price for its services. For the nine month period ended September 30, 2009, revenue derived from projects under fixed-time and fixed price service contracts represented approximately 38% and 10%, respectively, of the Company’s total revenue. For the nine month period ended September 30, 2008, revenue derived from projects under fixed-time and fixed price service contracts represented approximately 29% and 10%, respectively, of the Company’s total revenue. No single fixed price project was material to the Company’s business during the three and nine month period ended September 30, 2009 and 2008. The Company believes that, as it pursues its strategy of providing application management services to customers, it will continue to offer fixed price projects. The Company believes that there are certain risks related to fixed price arrangements and thus prices such arrangements to reflect the associated risk. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to complete such projects within the fixed price timeframes. The failure to perform within such fixed price contracts, if entered into, could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations.

Customer Concentration

     The Company has derived and believes that it will continue to derive a significant portion of its revenue from a limited number of customers and projects. For the three month period ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, the Company’s ten largest customers accounted for in the aggregate approximately 37% and 36% of its revenue, respectively. For the nine month period ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, the Company’s ten largest customers accounted for in the aggregate approximately 38% and 37% of its revenue, respectively. During the three and nine month period ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, no single customer accounted for 10% or more of revenues. There can be no assurance that such customers will continue to engage the Company in the future at current levels of retention, if at all.

Software Partners

     For the three and nine month period ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, the Company derived the following percentages of total revenue from projects in which the Company implemented, extended, maintained, managed or supported software developed by SAP and Oracle.

Percentage of Revenues
Nine Months Three Months
     Period Ended Sep 30, Period Ended Sep 30,
  2009      2008      2009      2008
SAP 71 % 77 %   71 % 75 %
Oracle 15 % 12 % 14 % 13 %
e-Business 6 %   5 % 6 % 5 %
Others 8 % 6 % 9 %   7 %
Total 100 % 100 % 100 % 100 %

Markets

     The Company currently serves the United States market with its headquarters in Princeton, New Jersey, and branch offices in Atlanta, Georgia, Naperville, Illinois and Milpitas, California. The Company also maintains local offices to serve the markets in India, the United Kingdom, Denmark, Japan and the United Arab Emirates.

Expenses

     The Company’s most significant cost is project personnel expenses, which consist of consultant salaries, payroll taxes, benefits and subcontractor fees. Thus, the Company’s financial performance is based primarily upon billing margin (billable hourly rate less the cost to the Company of a consultant on an hourly basis) and personnel utilization rates (billable hours divided by paid hours).

Application of Critical Accounting Policies

     The preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The Company’s estimates, judgments and assumptions are continually evaluated based on available information and experience. Because of the use of estimates inherent in the financial reporting process, actual results could differ from those estimates.

     Certain of the Company’s accounting policies require higher degrees of judgment than others in their application. These include revenue recognition and allowance for doubtful accounts, impairments and estimation of useful lives of long-term assets, income tax recognition of current and deferred tax items, assumptions used in valuing stock-based compensation arrangements and fair value measurements, and accruals for contingencies.

     While there have been no material changes to its critical accounting policies and estimates as identified in Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations”, included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K/A for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008, the Company has updated below the disclosure of its critical accounting policies to reflect more accurately the policies it has been following

Cash and Cash Equivalents

     The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments and other short-term investments with a maturity of three months or less, when purchased, to be cash equivalents.

      The Company maintains cash balances at several financial institutions that are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to $250,000. The Company maintains cash balances in excess of insured amounts.

     The Company did not have any cash equivalents as at September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008.

Revenue Recognition and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

     The Company generates revenue from professional services rendered to customers. Revenue is recognized under the Company’s contracts generally when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the sales price is fixed or determinable and collection of amounts billed is reasonably assured. The majority of our revenue is generated under time-and-material contracts whereby costs and revenue are recognized as services are performed, with the corresponding cost of providing those services reflected as cost of revenue. The majority of customers are billed on an hourly or daily basis whereby actual time is charged directly to the customer. Such method is expected to result in reasonably consistent profit margins over the contract term.

25


INTELLIGROUP, INC.

Item 2 Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (Continued)

     The Company also derives a portion of our revenue from fixed-price, fixed-time contracts. Revenue generated from most fixed-price contracts, including most application management and support contracts, is recognized ratably over the contract term. Certain fixed price contracts are for implementation services, including design and modification, for which specifications are provided by the customer. The scope of the work is usually defined in terms of overall deliverables and the revenue for such work is ultimately earned by achieving the deliverables. We consider the performance of service towards the planned deliverable as partial execution of the deliverable and hence the revenue generated from such fixed-price contracts is recognized using the POC method. The POC method recognizes the legal and economic results of contract performance on a timely basis. This method of accounting relies on estimates of total expected contract revenues and costs. Where the contracts involve only implementation services, the Company recognizes revenue based on a proportional performance method. The pattern of performance on these contracts closely resembles the time spent by our employees and therefore efforts-expended, measured based on the cost of the employee’s time, is used as a measure for the proportion of services rendered in relation to the total services expected to be rendered.

     The use of the POC method or the proportional performance method requires significant judgment relative to estimating the number of hours or days required to complete the contracted scope of work, including assumptions and estimates relative to the length of time to complete the project and the nature and complexity of the work to be performed. Our project delivery and business unit finance personnel continually review labor hours incurred and estimated total labor hours, which may result in revisions to the amount of recognized revenue for the contract. Changes in estimates are accounted for in the period of change. If we do not accurately estimate the resources required or the scope of work to be performed for a contract or if we do not manage the project properly within the planned time period, then a loss may have to be recognized on the contract. Losses are recorded in the period when they become known, and estimated through the completion of the contract.

     We occasionally derive revenue from projects involving multiple revenue-generating activities. Accordingly, the revenue from such projects is accounted for in accordance with the ASC 605-25 (previously Emerging Issues Task Force of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Issue No. 00-21), “Accounting for Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables.” If a contract involves the provision of multiple service elements, total estimated contract revenue is allocated to each element based on the relative fair value of each element. The amount of revenue allocated to each element is limited to the amount that is not contingent upon the delivery of another element in the future. Revenue for each element is then recognized as described above depending upon whether the contract is a time-and-materials contract or a fixed-price, fixed-time contract.

     Any estimation process, including that used in preparing contract accounting models, involves inherent risk. We reduce the inherent risk relating to revenue and cost estimates in proportional performance models through approval and monitoring processes. Risks relating to service delivery, usage, productivity and other factors are considered in the estimation process.

     The Company accrues for revenue and receivables for services rendered between the last billing date and the balance sheet date. Unbilled services as of September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008 represent services provided through nine month period ended September 30, 2009 and the year ended December 31, 2008, respectively, which are billed subsequent to the balance sheet date. All such amounts are anticipated to be collected over the next twelve months.

     Reimbursements of out-of-pocket expenses received from clients have been included as part of revenues in accordance with ASC 605 (previously EITF 01-14), “Income Statement Characterization of Reimbursements Received for “Out-of-Pocket” Expenses Incurred.”

     We establish billing terms at the time project deliverables are agreed, and we continually monitor timely payments from customers and assess collection issues. We maintain allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of our clients to make required payments. We base our estimates on historical collection and write-off experience, current trends, credit policy, detailed analysis of specific client situations and percentage of accounts receivable by aging category.

Results of Operations – Consolidated – nine month period ended September 30, 2009 compared to nine month period ended September 30, 2008.

     The following table sets forth for the periods indicated certain financial data expressed as a percentage of total revenue:

       Net income 8.1 % 4.9 %

     Nine month period ended September 30, 2009 compared to Nine month period ended September 30, 2008.

The following discussion compares the consolidated results of operations for the nine month period ended September 30, 2009 and 2008.

     Revenue: Total revenue decreased by 22% or $26.2 million from $119.8 million for the nine month period ended September 30, 2008 to $93.6 million as compared to the nine month period ended September 30, 2009. The decrease was due to the impact of the challenging global economic environment. Despite adding 92 new customers during the nine month period ended September 30, 2009, the volume of our business declined as our customers and prospective customers deferred the decision-making on a range of IT services initiatives, particularly shorter-term projects. Due to decline in customer demand competitive pressures have resulted in downward pressure on pricing. Our on site rates reduced by 4% from an average rate of $106.7 during the nine month period ended September 30, 2008 to an average rate of $102.6 during the nine month period ended September 30, 2009. Our off shore rates were reduced by 7% from an average rate of $23.3 during the nine month period ended September 30, 2008 to an average rate of $21.6 during the nine month period ended September 30, 2009. Recently, however, we have seen signs that the market for IT services has begun to stabilize and therefore we are not expecting further significant declines in revenues on a sequential basis.

     Cost of revenue and gross profit: The cost of revenue has decreased by 24.5% or 20.2 from $82.5 million for the nine month period ended September 30, 2008 to $62.3 million for the nine month period ended September 30, 2009. The decrease was attributable to the decrease in payroll costs by 9.7% due to decrease in the headcount, decrease in sub-contractors cost by 4.8% due to reduction in the headcount of sub-contractors, decrease in project related expenses by 6.7% due to decline in volume of services sold and decrease by 3.3% due to fluctuations in the functional currencies of the subsidiaries. Gross profit has decreased by 16.2% from $37.3 million for the nine month period ended September 30, 2008 to $31.3 million for the nine month period ended September 30, 2009. The decrease in gross profit was a result of the decrease in the revenues partially offset by the cost savings during the nine month period ended September 30, 2009. Gross margin has increased from 31.2% for the nine month period ended September 30, 2008 to 33.5% for the nine month period ended September 30, 2009. The increase in gross margin was due to improvement in utilization rate by 7%. The cost of revenue has decreased by 24% as opposed to a decrease in revenue by 22%, thereby contributing to an increase in gross margin.

Item 2 Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (Continued)

     Selling, general and administrative expenses: Selling, general and administrative expenses consist of salaries and related benefits for sales and general administrative personnel, facilities costs, related travel and entertainment and professional fees. Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased by 23.2% from $27.5 million for the nine month period ended September 30, 2008 to $21.1 million for the nine month period ended September 30, 2009. The decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses is due to (i) reduction in operating lease rentals and maintenance by 4.1% due to relocation of the office facility, (ii) fluctuations in the functional currencies of the subsidiaries by 3.8%, (iii) sales commission and payroll expenses have decreased by 7.3% due to reduction in head count and revenue during the period and (iv) other advertising, insurance and general expenses have decreased by 8% in line with the decrease in the business of the Company.

     Depreciation and amortization expenses: The Company recorded depreciation and amortization expenses of $1.9 million for the nine month period ended September 30, 2009 as compared to $1.7 million for the nine month period ended September 30, 2008. The marginal increase was due to additional purchase of fixed assets during the nine month period ended September 30, 2009.

     Interest Expense: For the nine month period ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, the Company recorded $0.06 million and $0.4 million as interest expense respectively. The decrease in interest expense was due to repayment of the borrowings from the line of credit in 2008.

     Foreign Currency gain (loss): For the nine month period ended September 30, 2009, the Company recorded foreign currency transaction gains of approximately $0.1 million as compared to transaction losses of approximately $1.7 million for the nine month period ended September 30, 2008. The loss recorded during the nine month period ended September 30, 2008 was due to marked to market valuation of the outstanding derivative instruments consequent to significant fluctuations in Indian Rupee (“INR”) and US Dollar (“USD”).

     Interest and Other Income: Interest and other income was approximately $0.8 million for both the nine month period ended September 30, 2009 and 2008.

     Income tax provision: The Company recorded an income tax provision of $1.6 million on a pretax income of $9.2 million for the nine month period ended September 30, 2009 as compared to an income tax provision of $1.1 million on a pretax income of $6.8 million for the nine month period ended September 30, 2008. The effective tax rate has increased to a tax provision of 18% during the nine month period ended September 30, 2009 from a tax provision of 16% during the nine month period ended September 30, 2008 primarily due to changes in the geographic distribution of the income and changes in non taxable income. The difference between the income tax rates for the 2009 and 2008 periods and the statutory rate is primarily due to the existence of carried forward net operating losses in the U.S. locations and earnings taxed in countries that have rates lower than the United States.

       Net income 11.2 % 6.5 %

Three month period ended September 30, 2009 compared to three month period ended September 30, 2008.

     Revenue: Revenue has decreased by 23% for the three month period ended September 30, 2008 as compared to the three month period ended September 30, 2009. The decrease was due to the impact of the challenging global economic environment. Despite adding 28 new customers during the three month period ended September 30, 2009, the volume of our business declined as our customers and prospective customers deferred the decision-making on a range of IT services initiatives, particularly shorter-term projects. Due to the decline in customer demand competitive pressures resulted in downward pressure on pricing. Our on site rates reduced by 6% from an average rate of $108 during the three month period ended September 30, 2008 to an average rate of $101 during the three month period ended September 30, 2009. Off shore rates were reduced by 6% from an average rate of $24 during the three month period ended September 30, 2008 to an average rate of $23 during the three month period ended September 30, 2009. Recently, however, we have seen signs that the market for IT services have begun to stabilize and therefore we are not expecting further significant declines in revenues on a sequential basis.

     Cost of revenue and gross profit: The cost of revenue has decreased by 26.8% from $28.3 million for the three month period ended September 30, 2008 to $20.7 million for the three month period ended September 30, 2009. The decrease was attributable to the decrease in payroll costs by 12% due to decrease in the headcount and the related compensation costs, decrease in sub-contractors cost by 5.1% due to reduction in the headcount of sub-contractors, decrease in project related expenses by 7.5% due to decline in volume of services sold and decrease by 2.2% due to fluctuations in the functional currencies of the subsidiaries. The gross profit has decreased by 14.7% from $12.9 million for the three month period ended September 30, 2008 to $11 million for the three month period ended September 30, 2009. The decrease in gross profit was a result of the decrease in the revenues partially offset by the cost savings during the three month period ended September 30, 2009. Gross margin has increased from 31.3% for the three month period ended September 30, 2008 to 34.6% million for the three month period ended September 30, 2009. The increase in gross margin was due to improvement in utilization rate by 8%. The cost of revenue has decreased by 26.8% as opposed to a decrease in revenue by 23%, thereby contributing to an increase in gross margin. Selling, general and administrative expenses: Selling, general and administrative expenses primarily consist of salaries and related benefits for sales and general administrative personnel, facilities costs, related travel and entertainment and professional fees. Selling, general and administrative expenses have decreased by 22.6% from $8.8 million for the three month period ended September 30, 2008 to $6.8 million for the three month period ended September 30, 2009. The decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses was due to (i) reduction in sales commission and payroll expenses by 13.1% on account of reduction in head count and revenue during the period, (ii) operating lease rentals and maintenance by 3% due to relocation of the office facility, (iii) fluctuations in the functional currencies of the subsidiaries by 1.9%, and (iv) other advertising, insurance and general expenses have decreased by 4.6% in line with the decrease in the business of the Company.

     Depreciation and amortization expenses: The Company recorded depreciation and amortization expenses of $0.6 million for the three month period ended September 30, 2009 as compared to $0.2 million the three month period ended September 30, 2008. The increase was due to finalization of the purchase price allocation relating to the Novasoft acquisition in September 2008 as a result of which the Company reversed excess amortization of $0.4 million in September 2008 due to decrease in the fair value of the intangibles acquired.

     Interest Expense: For the three month period ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, the company recorded $0.02 million and $0.07 million towards interest expense. The decrease in interest expense was due to repayment of the borrowings from the line of credit in 2008 respectively.

     Foreign Currency gain (loss): For the three month period ended September 30, 2009, the Company recorded foreign currency transaction gains of approximately $0.03 million, as compared to transaction losses of approximately $0.7 million recorded for the three month period ended September 30, 2008. The loss recorded during the three month period ended September 30, 2008 was due to marked to market valuation of the outstanding derivative instruments consequent to significant fluctuations in Indian Rupee (“INR”) and US Dollar (“USD”). The gain during the three month period ended September 30, 2009 was primarily due to strengthening of INR against USD.

     Interest and Other Income: Interest and other income was approximately $0.4 million for the three month period ended September 30, 2009 as compared to $0.02 million for the three month period ended September 30, 2008. The increase is mainly due to increase in the market valuation of non-convertible debentures.

      Income tax provision: The Company recorded an income tax provision of $0.5 million on a pretax income of $4.1 million for the three month period ended September 30, 2009 as compared to an income tax provision of $0.5 million on a pretax income of $3.2 million for the three month period ended September 30, 2008. The effective tax rate has decreased to a tax provision of 12% during the three month period ended September 30, 2009 from a tax provision of 14% during the three month period ended September 30, 2008 primarily due to changes in the geographic distribution of the income. The difference between the income tax rates for the 2009 and 2008 periods and the statutory rate is primarily due to the existence of carried forward net operating losses in the U.S. locations and earnings taxed in countries that have rates lower than the United States.

Item 2 Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (Continued)

     The Company has four reportable geographic operating segments, which are organized and managed on a geographical basis, as follows:

  • United States (“US”) – the largest segment of the Company, with operations in the US and Puerto Rico. Includes the operations of the Company’s US subsidiary, Empower, Inc., and all corporate functions and activities. The US and corporate headquarters is located in Princeton, New Jersey;
     
  • India – includes the operations of the Company in India, including services provided on behalf of other group subsidiaries, primarily to the US. The India offices are located in Hyderabad and Bangalore, India. A majority of the total revenue generated in India is derived from providing off shore development and support services to customers through the Company’s affiliated entities in other parts of the world, but predominantly with the United States. This Segment also covers our operations in the UAE;
     
  • Europe – includes the operations of the Company in Denmark and the United Kingdom. The European offices are located in Milton Keynes, United Kingdom; and Odense in Denmark; and
     
  • Japan – includes the operations of the Company in Japan. The office is located in Tokyo, Japan.

The revenues are attributed to each segment on the basis of the location of the entity which contracts with the customer and on the basis of the inter-company agreements between the affiliated entities. The CEO has been identified as the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) because he has final authority over resource allocation decisions and performance assessment. The CODM regularly receives certain discrete financial information about the geographical operating segments, including primarily revenue and operating income, to evaluate segment performance.

Nine month period ended September 30, 2009 Compared to Nine month period ended September 30, 2008.

     The following discussion compares the segment results of operations for the nine month period ended September 30, 2009 and 2008.

     US revenue has decreased by 24.7% from $93.7 million for the nine month period ended September 30, 2008 to $70.6 million for the nine month period ended September 30, 2009. The decrease in revenue was primarily due to impact of the challenging global economic environment, due to which many of our customers and prospective customers deferred the decision-making on a range of IT services initiatives, particularly shorter-term projects. Operating income for US segment increased by 59.9% from $2.8 million for the nine month period ended September 30, 2008 to $4.5 million for the nine month period ended September 30, 2009 due to reduction in payroll and subcontracting cost by 22%, project related and travel costs by 45% and marketing and administrative expenses by 32% as compared to the nine month period ended September 30, 2008. These cost savings were partially offset by 24.7% reduction in revenues.

     India revenue has decreased by 28% from $34.9 million for the nine month period ended September 30, 2008 to $25.2 million for the nine month period ended September 30, 2009. The decrease in revenues was attributable to global economic slowdown which resulted in decreased demand for our off shore services, particularly from customers in the US market and reduced demand during the period from customers in the local geographic markets which our India subsidiary services. Off shore revenues decreased by 34% while revenues from local geographic markets decreased by 26% as compared to the nine month period ended September 30, 2008. In addition to the decrease in the volume of services sold, increased competition has resulted in downward pressure on bill rates for our off shore services. Our off shore rates reduced by 7% from an average rate of $23.3 during the nine month period ended September 30, 2008 to an average rate of $21.6 during the nine month period ended September 30, 2009. Operating income for India segment decreased by 54.3% from $4.6 million for the nine month period ended September 30, 2008 to $2.1 million for the nine month period ended September 30, 2009. The decrease in operating income resulted from the decrease in revenue by 28% which was partially off set by decrease in payroll and subcontracting costs by 20%, project related and travel costs by 38% and marketing and administrative expenses by 26%.

     Europe revenue has increased by 6% from $14.3 million for the nine month period ended September 30, 2008 to $15.1million for the nine month period ended September 30, 2009. The marginal increase in revenue is due to the start of one major customer project during the period partially offset by decrease in revenues due to strengthening of the U.S. Dollar against British Pound in particular by 26%. Operating income for Europe segment increased by $1.4 million from $0.7 million for the nine month period ended September 30, 2008 to $2.1 million for the nine month period ended September 30, 2009. The increase in operating income is attributable due to decrease in payroll and subcontracting costs by 17%, project related and travel costs by 22% and marketing and administrative expenses by 15% as compared to the nine month period ended September 30, 2008. In addition, as explained above, there was also an increase in the segment revenues by 6%.

     Japan revenue has decreased by 20.1% from $3.9 million for the nine month period ended September 30, 2008 to $3.1 million for the nine month period ended September 30, 2009. Japan reported income of 0.1million during the nine month period ended September 30, 2008 where as it reported an operating loss of $0.4 million during the nine month period ended September 30, 2009. The operating loss situation during the nine month period ended September 30, 2009 was due to decrease in revenues in the local Japanese market and Japan location was unable to quickly counter the drop in revenues by implementing cost saving measures.

Three month period ended September 30, 2009 Compared to Three month period ended September 30, 2008.

     US revenue has decreased by 26.8% from $33.2 million for the three month period ended September 30, 2008 to $24.3 million for the three month period ended September 30, 2009. The decrease in revenue was primarily due to impact of the challenging global economic environment, due to which many of our customers and prospective customers deferred the decision-making on a range of IT services initiatives, particularly shorter-term projects. Operating income for US segment increased by 55.5% from $1.6 million for the three month ended September 30, 2008 to $2.5 million for the three month period ended September 30, 2009, primarily due to reduction in payroll and subcontracting costs by 27%, project related and travel costs by 38% and marketing and administrative expenses by 36% which was partially offset by decrease in revenues by 26.8%.

     India revenue has decreased by 32.7% from $12.2million for the three month period ended September 30, 2008 to $8.2 million for the three month period ended September 30, 2009. The decrease in revenues was attributable to global economic slowdown which resulted in decreased demand for our off shore services, particularly from customers in the US market and reduced demand during the period from customers in the local geographic markets which our India subsidiary services.

Operating income for the India segment has decreased by 70.1% from $1.9 million for the three month ended September 30, 2008 to $0.6 million for the three month period ended September 30, 2009 due to decrease in revenues by 32.7% which was partially off set by decrease in payroll and subcontracting expenses by 25%, project related and travel costs by 39% and marketing and administrative expenses by 16%.

     Europe revenue has increased by 15.1% from $4.5 million for the three month period ended September 30, 2008 to $5.1 million for the three month period ended September 30, 2009. The increase in revenue is primarily due to the start of one major customer project in the beginning of 2009 partially offset by decrease in revenues due to strengthening of the U.S. Dollar against British Pound in particular by 18%. Operating income for UK segment increased by 408.6% from $0.1 million for the three month period ended September 30, 2008 to $0.7 million for the three month period ended September 30, 2009. The increase in operating income was due to decrease in payroll and subcontracting expenses by 2%, marketing and administrative expenses by 3% coupled by an increase in revenues by 15.1% as explained above.

     Japan revenue decreased by 10.2% from $1.1 million for the three month period ended September 30, 2008 to $1.0 million for the three month period ended September 30, 2009. Japan reported operating income of 0.2 million during the three month period ended September 30, 2008 where as it reported an operating loss of $0.1million during the three month period ended September 30, 2009. This was due to decrease in revenues in the local Japanese market and Japan location was unable to quickly counter the drop in revenues by implementing cost saving measures.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash Position and Cash Flows

     We had cash and cash equivalents of $20.9 million as at September 30, 2009 net of amounts outstanding against the line of credit as compared to $10 million as at December 31, 2008. We had a working capital of $32.1 million at September 30, 2009 and $25.1 million as at December 31, 2008.

     Cash generated from operating activities was $14 million for the nine month period ended September 30, 2009, resulting from the net income of $7.5 million for the period and increase by $7.2 million due to realization of accounts receivable and unbilled services balances, as the Company has worked to increase efficiency in its billing and collections processes, partially offset by a decrease in other net operating assets by $0.7 million. Cash generated from operating activities was $5.3 million for the nine month period ended September 30, 2008 resulting mainly from the net income of $5.7 million for the period, partially off set by a decrease in net operating assets by $0.4 million.

Item 2 Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (Continued)

     The Company invested $0.8 million in net purchase of computer equipment, internal-use computer software and office furniture, fixtures and leasehold improvements for the nine month period ended September 30, 2009 while it was $0.7 million for the nine month period ended September 30, 2008. Net cash used for short term investments was $0.6 million during the nine month period ended September 30, 2009 while there were no such activities during the nine month period ended September 30, 2008.

     Cash used in financing activities was $1.9 million during the nine month period ended September 30, 2009 as compared to $4 .0 million during the nine month period ended September 30, 2008. The Company repurchased stock amounting to $1.8 million during the nine month period ended September 30, 2009 while the borrowings of $3.4 million from the line of credit were repaid during the nine month period ended September 30, 2008.

Credit Facility

     On May 22, 2008, the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary Empower, Inc. closed out the existing $15 million line of credit with Steel City Capital Funding. Concurrently, the Company entered into a revolving credit loan and security agreement (“Credit Agreement”) with HSBC Bank, (the “Bank”). The Credit Agreement is comprised of a three year revolving line of credit pursuant to which the Company can borrow up to $10.0 million at the Bank’s Base Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement) of 3.25% as of September 30, 2009, minus 0.85%. The credit facility is collateralized by substantially all of the assets of the United States based operations and all subsidiary stock (not to exceed 65% of the Equity Interests of any Foreign Subsidiary). The maximum borrowing availability under the Credit Agreement is based upon a percentage of eligible billed and unbilled accounts receivable.

     The Credit Agreement provides for certain financial covenants that shall only be tested as of the end of any fiscal quarter.

     The Company was in compliance with the applicable financial covenants of the loan agreement related to the Credit Agreement as of September 30, 2009.

     As of September 30, 2009, the Company had approximately $0.1 million outstanding borrowings under the Credit Agreement. The Company estimates undrawn availability under the Credit Facility to be $9.9 million as of September 30, 2009.

Cash to Fund Operating Activities

     The Company relies on the cash generated by operating activities, cash on hand and the financing available under its credit facility to fund ongoing operations. The Company’s credit facility with the Bank represents its sole source of external financing for ongoing business operations. The Company’s operating plan depends on its cash generated by operating activities and continued borrowing availability under this credit facility or securing alternate sources of financing. The Company must comply with certain covenants or secure from the Bank waivers of any default on such covenants to maintain its line of credit with the Bank. There can be no assurances that the Company will be able to maintain compliance with the applicable financial covenants under its credit agreement or obtain waivers of any defaults.

     The Company’s 2009 operating plan contains assumptions regarding revenue and expenses. The achievement of the operating plan depends heavily on the timing of work performed by the Company on existing projects and the ability of the Company to gain and perform work on new projects. Project cancellations, delays in the timing of work performed by the Company on existing projects or the inability of the Company to gain and perform work on new projects, or ability to timely collect cash from its customers could have an adverse impact on the Company’s ability to execute its operating plan and maintain adequate cash flow. In the event actual results do not meet the operating plan, management believes it could execute contingency plans to mitigate such effects. Such plans include reductions in capital expenditures and operating costs, and/or seeking additional financing. Assuming that the Company achieves the revenue and expense targets included in the Company’s operating plan, management believes that the Company’s cash on hand and cash generated by operations and borrowings under its credit facility will be sufficient to fund the Company’s current and planned operations through at least the next twelve months.

Contractual Obligations and Other Commercial Commitments

     There have been no material changes to the contractual obligations and other commercial commitments previously disclosed in our annual report on Form 10-K/A for the period ended December 31, 2008.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

     Effective July 1, 2009, we adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 105-10, Generally Accepted Accounting Principles – Overall (ASC 105-10). ASC 105-10 establishes the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (the Codification) as the source of authoritative accounting principles recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities in the preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP. Rules and interpretive releases of the SEC under authority of federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative U.S. GAAP for SEC registrants. All guidance contained in the Codification carries an equal level of authority. The Codification superseded all existing non-SEC accounting and reporting standards. All other non-grandfathered, non-SEC accounting literature not included in the Codification is non-authoritative. The FASB will not issue new standards in the form of Statements, FASB Staff Positions or Emerging Issues Task Force Abstracts. Instead, it will issue Accounting Standards Updates (ASUs). The FASB will not consider ASUs as authoritative in their own right. ASUs will serve only to update the Codification, provide background information about the guidance and provide the bases for conclusions on the change(s) in the Codification. References made to FASB guidance throughout this document have been updated for the Codification.

     The Company elected a partial deferral of ASC 820-10 (previously SFAS No 157) related to the measurement of fair value used when evaluating goodwill, other intangible assets, and other long-lived assets for impairment. We adopted the provisions of this statement for non-financial assets and liabilities effective January 1, 2009. This adoption did not have impact on its Consolidated Financial statements.

     In December 2007, the FASB issued ASC 805 Business Combinations (previously SFAS 141R). ASC 805 establishes principles and requirements for how an acquirer recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, any non controlling interest in the acquiree and the goodwill acquired. ASC 805 also establishes disclosure requirements to enable the evaluation of the nature and financial effects of the business combination. This statement was adopted beginning January 1, 2009. There was no significant impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations as a result of the adoption of ASC 805.

     In March 2008, the FASB issued ASC 815 (previously SFAS No. 161), Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, which requires additional disclosures about the objectives of using derivative instruments, the method by which the derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for and its related interpretations, and the effect of derivative instruments and related hedged items on financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. ASC 815 also requires disclosure of the fair values of derivative instruments and their gains and losses in a tabular format. ASC 815 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008, with early adoption encouraged. The Company adopted this standard effective January 1, 2009. The implementation of this standard did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. (Please see Note 10 below for the expanded disclosure regarding derivative instruments in accordance with the pronouncement).

     In April 2009, the FASB issued ASC 320-10 (previously FSP SFAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2), Recognition and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments. This FSP amends the other-than-temporary impairment guidance for debt securities to make the guidance more operational and to improve the presentation and disclosure of other-than-temporary impairments in the financial statements. The most significant change the FSP brings is a revision to the amount of other-than-temporary loss of a debt security recorded in earnings. The Company adopted this standard effective April 1, 2009. The implementation of this standard did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

     In April 2009, the FASB issued ASC 820-10 (previously FSP SFAS 157-4), Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly. This FSP provides additional guidance for estimating fair value, Fair Value Measurements, when the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability have significantly decreased. This FSP also includes guidance on identifying circumstances that indicate a transaction is not orderly. This FSP emphasizes that even if there has been a significant decrease in the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability and regardless of the valuation technique(s) used, the objective of a fair value measurement remains the same. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction (that is, not a forced liquidation or distressed sale) between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions. The Company adopted this standard effective April 1, 2009. The implementation of this standard did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

     In April 2009, the FASB issued ASC 825-10 (previously FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1), Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments. Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments require disclosures about fair value of financial instruments for interim reporting periods of publicly traded companies as well as in annual financial statements. The Company adopted this standard effective April 1, 2009. (Please see Note 10 below for the expanded disclosure on the fair value of financial instruments in accordance with the pronouncement).

     In May 2009, the FASB issued ASC 855 (previously SFAS No. 165), Subsequent. ASC 855 established general standards of accounting for the disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. The adoption of ASC 855 required us to disclose the date through which we have evaluated subsequent events and whether that date is the date the financials were issued. The Company adopted this standard effective April 1, 2009. (Please see Note 14 below for the disclosure on subsequent events in accordance with the pronouncement).

     In August 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2009-05, “Measuring Liabilities at Fair Value” (“ASU 2009-05”). The amendments in this ASU apply to all entities that measure liabilities at fair value and provides clarification that in circumstances in which a quoted price in an active market for the identical liability is not available, an entity is required to measure fair value using one or more techniques laid out in this ASU. The guidance provided in this ASU is effective for the first reporting period (including reporting periods) beginning after issuance. The Company does not expect the adoption of this ASU to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

     In October 2009, the FASB issued ASU 2009-13, Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements, (amendments to FASB ASC Topic 605, Revenue Recognition) (“ASU 2009-13”). ASU 2009-13 requires entities to allocate revenue in an arrangement using estimated selling prices of the delivered goods and services based on a selling price hierarchy. The amendments eliminate the residual method of revenue allocation and require revenue to be allocated using the relative selling price method. ASU 2009-13 is effective on a prospective basis for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified in fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010, with early adoption permitted. ASU 2009-13 will become effective for the Company with its fiscal year beginning January 1, 2011.

Item 2 Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (Continued)

Business Outlook

     Our business and financial condition depend on the health of the general economy, as well as the demand for information technology services, particularly in the United States as we derive a significant portion of our revenue from customers located in the United States. Our revenue and profits are driven by demand for our services. We continue to be impacted by the challenging global economic environment, which led many companies to defer decision-making on a range of IT services projects, particularly affecting smaller, shorter-term projects where we have primarily focused our efforts in order to develop inroads with new customers. We have seen the impact of such decline in demand for our services as reflected by the 22% year over year decline in our revenue.

     Despite the continuation of a very challenging business environment, we are seeing some encouraging signs in the overall IT services sector, including a greater degree of receptiveness from many of our customers and prospects to discuss new or expanded initiatives and many customers in the small and mid market are looking to engage IT service firms as strategic partners for future projects. The Company won 28 new customers during the three month period ended September 30, 2009. The total value of the new contracts entered into during the three month period ended September 30, 2009, including new engagements from existing customers was approximately $20.9 million. While these were generally smaller initial engagements, we believe that the market for IT services is stabilizing across many industry sectors in which we work with the exception of our customers and prospects in the consumer products and manufacturing sectors continued to exhibit challenged demand on a sequential basis.

     During this challenging economic period our management team has focused its efforts on improvements in its operational performance and aligning our cost structure to current market conditions. To date, we have been able to effectively manage our cost structure to stabilize and even achieve marginal growth in our operating income, despite the drop in revenue, which was $8.3 million for the nine month ended September 30, 2009 compared with $8.2 million for the nine month ended September 30, 2008. However, if the current downturn in worldwide economic conditions continues or economic conditions worsen, particularly in the United States and the stabilization we have seen recently in market demand for our IT services reverses, we may not be able to continue to reduce costs to a level sufficient to minimize the impact of any possible further revenue declines on our operating income and any of these events could materially and adversely impact our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.

     There have been no material changes to the information on quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk provided in our annual report on Form 10-K/A for the period ended December 31, 2008.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

     We are responsible for maintaining disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and regulations, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosures. Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report. In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and management necessarily is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures and implementing controls and procedures based upon the application of management’s judgment. Based on such evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that, as of September 30, 2009, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act.

Changes in Internal Controls

     There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended September 30, 2009 that materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

The program will expire on the earlier of (i) the repurchase of the maximum number of shares under the program, (ii) the 18 month anniversary of the approval of the program or (iii) a determination by the Board of Directors to discontinue the program. We are not obligated to continue to repurchase shares under the authorization or enter into additional Rule 10b5-1 trading plan and the timing; actual number and value of shares purchased will depend on many factors, including our cash flow and the liquidity and price performance of our shares.
