Prospectus summary
 
This summary highlights information contained elsewhere in this prospectus. This summary does not contain all of the information that you should consider before investing in our common stock. You should read the entire prospectus carefully, including “Risk factors” on page 7 and our consolidated financial statements and related notes on page F-1, before making an investment decision. Unless the context otherwise requires, we use the terms “Virtusa,” “the company,” “we,” “us” and “our” and similar references in this prospectus to refer to Virtusa Corporation and its subsidiaries.
 
Our company
 
We are a global information technology services company. We use an offshore delivery model to provide a broad range of information technology, or IT, services, including IT consulting, technology implementation and application outsourcing. Using our enhanced global delivery model, innovative platforming approach and industry expertise, we provide cost-effective services that enable our clients to use IT to enhance business performance, accelerate time-to-market, increase productivity and improve customer service. Headquartered in Massachusetts, we have offices in the United States and the United Kingdom and global delivery centers in Hyderabad and Chennai, India and Colombo, Sri Lanka. We have experienced compounded annual revenue growth of 47% over the four-year period ended March 31, 2006.
 
Our enhanced global delivery model leverages a highly-efficient onsite-to-offshore service delivery mix and proprietary tools and processes to manage and accelerate delivery, foster innovation and promote continual improvement. Our global service delivery teams work seamlessly at our client locations and at our global delivery centers in India and Sri Lanka to provide value-added services rapidly and cost-effectively. They do this by using our enhanced global delivery model, which we manage to a 20/80 onsite-to-offshore service delivery mix.
 
We apply our innovative platforming approach across all of our services. We help our clients combine common business processes and rules, technology frameworks and data into reusable application platforms that can be leveraged across the enterprise to build, enhance and maintain existing and future applications. Our platforming approach enables our clients to continually enhance their software platforms and applications in response to changing business needs and evolving technologies while also realizing long-term and ongoing cost savings.
 
We provide our IT services primarily to enterprises engaged in the following industries: communications and technology; banking, financial services and insurance; and media and information. Our current clients include leading global enterprises such as Aetna Life Insurance Company, Bear, Stearns & Co. Inc., British Telecommunications plc, Cisco Systems, Inc., ING North America Insurance Corporation, International Business Machines Corporation, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. and Thomson Healthcare Inc., and leading enterprise software developers such as Pegasystems Inc. and Vignette Corporation. We have a high level of repeat business among our clients. For instance, during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006, over 90% of our revenue came from clients to whom we had been providing services for at least one year and over 65% came from clients to whom we had been providing services for at least two years. We have over 3,500 employees, or team members, and for the nine months ended December 31, 2006, we had revenue of $89.4 million and income from operations of $10.2 million.

Market opportunity
 
The role of IT in enterprises has grown far beyond operational support to become a source of competitive advantage. Leading enterprises are using IT to accelerate time-to-market, increase productivity and improve customer service. Business and IT leaders recognize that delivering these benefits cost-effectively is vital to the success of their enterprises.
 
Many enterprises increasingly manage their technology costs and resource constraints by outsourcing IT services offshore. According to a 2006 IDC report, 20.8% of U.S. IT services, including application management, custom application development, IT consulting, information systems outsourcing, systems integration and other related activities, will move to offshore players by 2010. A 2005 NASSCOM-McKinsey report estimates that global offshore IT services adoption will grow at a compounded annual growth rate of 24.4%, from $18.4 billion for the 12 months ended March 31, 2005 to $55.0 billion for the 12 months ending March 31, 2010.
 
Engaging offshore IT service providers to improve business performance, beyond reducing costs, can be challenging. The rate of technological change, the impact of mergers and acquisitions and a historical approach to building and managing stand-alone, legacy IT systems and applications have led to fragmented IT environments, which are complex, inefficient and costly to maintain and operate. We believe enterprises seek service providers that can cost-effectively address this range of complex challenges.
 
Our solution
 
Our broad range of IT services, enhanced global delivery model and innovative platforming approach enable us to deliver IT solutions to our clients that enhance business performance, accelerate time-to-market, increase productivity and improve customer service. Our enhanced global delivery model enables us to deliver IT services cost-effectively. We reduce the effort and costs required to maintain and develop IT applications on an ongoing basis by streamlining and consolidating our clients’ applications. We believe that our solution provides our clients with the consultative and high-value services associated with large consulting and systems integration firms, the cost-effectiveness associated with offshore IT outsourcing firms and the ability to streamline and continually improve their software platforms and applications.
 
Our growth strategy
 
Key elements of our growth strategy include:
 
Deepen and grow our client base. We seek to deepen and broaden our existing client relationships and grow our client base. We focus on expanding existing client relationships and converting new engagements to long-term relationships. For example, in March 2007, British Telecommunications plc entered into a five-year IT services agreement with us and also purchased, through a wholly-owned subsidiary, 2,875,869 shares of our common stock. We also have a dedicated business development team focused on generating engagements with new clients.
 
Expand our service offerings. We seek to create new and innovative service offerings by analyzing emerging technologies and industry trends and changing client needs. Our industry solution teams work closely with our marketing group, industry and technology practice groups and research and development teams to develop new, highly-differentiated services.

Deepen and expand our industry expertise. We seek to deepen our existing industry expertise and to develop expertise in new industries. We plan to extend our domain expertise beyond those industries that we currently serve to adjacent industries, where we can directly leverage existing in-house skills, experience and client relationships.
 
Strengthen our brand. We seek to enhance our profile and brand equity to help us acquire new clients, enhance our existing client relationships and attract and retain talented team members. We believe our platforming approach to IT services positions us as a thought leader with clients and enables us to attract and retain talented team members.
 
Develop new strategic alliances. We seek to strengthen our existing strategic alliances and build new ones. We intend to leverage our strategic alliances to win new clients, extend our services to existing clients and enter new geographic or industry markets. We believe that some of these alliances with software company clients enable us to compete more effectively for the technology implementation and support services required by our clients’ customers.
 
Risks affecting us
 
Our business is subject to numerous risks, as more fully described under “Risk factors” beginning on page 7, which you should carefully consider prior to deciding whether to invest in our common stock. For example:
 
•  our revenue is highly dependent on a small number of clients and the loss of any one of our major clients could significantly harm our results of operations and financial condition
 
•  the IT services market is highly competitive and our competitors may have advantages that may allow them to compete more effectively than we do to secure client contracts and attract skilled IT professionals
 
•  if we cannot attract and retain highly-skilled IT professionals, our ability to obtain, manage and staff new projects and continue to expand existing projects may result in loss of revenue and an inability to expand our business
 
•  our quarterly financial position, revenue, operating results and profitability are difficult to predict and may vary from quarter to quarter, which could cause our share price to decline significantly

Risk factors
 
You should carefully consider the risks described below and all other information contained in this prospectus before making an investment decision. If any of the following risks, as well as other risks and uncertainties that are not yet identified or that we currently think are immaterial, actually occur, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected. In that event, the trading price of our shares could decline and you may lose part or all of your investment.
 
Risks relating to our business
 
Our revenue is highly dependent on a small number of clients and the loss of any one of our major clients could significantly harm our results of operations and financial condition.
 
We have historically earned and believe that over the next few years we will continue to earn, a significant portion of our revenue from a limited number of clients. For instance, we generated approximately 59%, 45% and 43% of our revenue in our fiscal years ended March 31, 2004, 2005 and 2006, respectively, from our top five clients during those periods. For the nine months ended December 31, 2006, British Telecommunications plc, or BT, our largest client, accounted for 22% of our revenue. The loss of any one of our major clients could reduce our revenue or delay our recognition of revenue, harm our reputation in the industry and reduce our ability to accurately predict cash flow. For example, a major client terminated our service engagements within the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2005, and that termination negatively affected our results of operations for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2005 and the first quarter of fiscal year 2006. The loss of any one of our major clients could also adversely affect our gross profit and utilization as we seek to redeploy resources previously dedicated to that client. Further, the loss of any one of our major clients has required, and could in the future require, us to initiate involuntary attrition. This could have a material adverse effect on our attrition rate and make it more difficult for us to attract and retain IT professionals in the future. We may not be able to maintain our client relationships and our clients may not renew their agreements with us, in which case, our business, financial condition and results of operations would be adversely affected. In addition, although we have recently entered into a five-year IT services agreement with BT that is premised upon minimum aggregate expenditures by BT of approximately $200 million over the term of the agreement, there can be no assurance that we will realize the full amount of those expenditures or that the agreement will not be terminated prior to the end of its term.
 
In addition, this client concentration may subject us to perceived or actual leverage that our clients may have given their relative size and importance to us. If our clients seek to negotiate their agreements on terms less favorable to us and we accept such unfavorable terms, such unfavorable terms may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Accordingly, unless and until we diversify and expand our client base, our future success will significantly depend upon the timing and volume of business from our largest clients and the financial and operational success of these clients. If we were to lose one of our major clients or have a major client cancel substantial projects or otherwise significantly reduce its volume of business with us, our revenue and profitability would be materially reduced and our business would be seriously harmed.

Table of Contents

 
The IT services market is highly competitive and our competitors may have advantages that may allow them to compete more effectively than we do to secure client contracts and attract skilled IT professionals.
 
The IT services market in which we operate includes a large number of participants and is highly competitive. Our primary competitors include:
 
•  offshore IT outsourcing firms
 
•  consulting and systems integration firms
 
We also occasionally compete with in-house IT departments, smaller vertically-focused IT service providers and local IT service providers based in the geographic areas where we compete. We expect additional competition from offshore IT outsourcing firms in emerging locations such as Eastern Europe, Latin America and China, as well as offshore IT service providers with facilities in less expensive geographies within India.
 
The IT services industry in which we compete is experiencing rapid changes in its competitive landscape. Some of the large consulting firms and offshore IT service providers that we compete with have significant resources and financial capabilities combined with a greater number of IT professionals. Many of our competitors are significantly larger and some have gained access to public and private capital or have merged or consolidated with better capitalized partners, which has created and may in the future create, larger and better capitalized competitors. These competitors may have superior abilities to compete for market share and for our existing and prospective clients. Our competitors may be better able to use significant economic incentives, such as lower billing rates, to secure contracts with our existing and prospective clients. These competitors may also be better able to compete for and retain skilled professionals by offering them more attractive compensation or other incentives. These factors may allow these competitors to have advantages over us to meet client demands in an engagement for large numbers and varied types of resources with specific experience or skill-sets that we may not have readily available in the short- or long-term. We cannot assure you that we can maintain or enhance our competitive position against current and future competitors. Our failure to compete effectively could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.
 
If we cannot attract and retain highly-skilled IT professionals, our ability to obtain, manage and staff new projects and continue to expand existing projects may result in loss of revenue and an inability to expand our business.
 
Our ability to execute and expand existing projects and obtain new clients depends largely on our ability to hire, train and retain highly-skilled IT professionals, particularly project managers, IT engineers and other senior technical personnel. If we cannot hire and retain such additional qualified personnel, our ability to obtain, manage and staff new projects and to expand, manage and staff existing projects, may be impaired. We may then lose revenue and our ability to expand our business may be harmed. There is intense worldwide competition for IT professionals with the skills necessary to perform the services we offer. We and the industry in which we operate generally experience high employee attrition. According to a survey of Indian companies conducted by Hewitt Associates, a human resources consulting firm, the attrition rate in 2006 for respondents was approximately 19.0%. Given our recent significant growth and strong demand for IT professionals from our competitors, we cannot assure you that we will be able to hire or retain the number of technical personnel necessary to satisfy our current and

future client needs. We also may not be able to hire and retain enough skilled and experienced IT professionals to replace those who leave. Additionally, if we have to replace personnel who have left our company, we will incur increased costs not only in hiring replacements but also in training such replacements until they can become productive and billable to our clients. In addition, we may not be able to redeploy and retrain our IT professionals in anticipation of continuing changes in technology, evolving standards and changing client preferences. Our inability to attract and retain IT professionals could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition.
 
Our quarterly financial position, revenue, operating results and profitability are difficult to predict and may vary from quarter to quarter, which could cause our share price to decline significantly.
 
Our quarterly revenue, operating results and profitability have varied in the past and are likely to vary significantly from quarter to quarter in the future. For example, our quarterly results ranged from an operating loss of $0.6 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2005 to operating income of $1.3 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2005. The factors that are likely to cause these variations include:
 
•  the number, timing, scope and contractual terms of IT projects in which we are engaged
 
•  delays in project commencement or staffing delays due to immigration issues or assignment of appropriately skilled or experienced personnel
 
•  the accuracy of estimates of resources, time and fees required to complete fixed-price projects and costs incurred in the performance of each project
 
•  changes in pricing in response to client demand and competitive pressures
 
•  the mix of onsite and offshore staffing
 
•  the mix of leadership and senior technical resources to junior engineering resources staffed on each project
 
•  our ability to have the client reimburse us for travel and living expenses, especially the airfare and related expenses of our Indian and Sri Lankan offshore personnel traveling and working onsite in the United States or the United Kingdom
 
•  seasonal trends, primarily our hiring cycle and the budget and work cycles of our clients
 
•  the ratio of fixed-price contracts to time-and-materials contracts in process
 
•  employee wage levels and increases in compensation costs, including timing of promotions and annual pay increases, particularly in India and Sri Lanka
 
•  unexpected changes in the utilization rate of our IT professionals
 
•  unanticipated contract or project terminations
 
•  the timing of collection of accounts receivable
 
•  the continuing financial stability of our clients
 
•  general economic conditions

As a result, our revenue and our operating results for a particular period are difficult to predict and may decline in comparison to corresponding prior periods regardless of the strength of our business. Our future revenue is also difficult to predict because we derive a substantial portion of our revenue from fees for services generated from short-term contracts that may be terminated or delayed by our clients without penalty. In addition, a high percentage of our operating expenses, particularly related to personnel and facilities, are relatively fixed in advance of any particular quarter and are based, in part, on our expectations as to future revenue. If we are unable to predict the timing or amounts of future revenue accurately, we may be unable to adjust spending in a timely manner to compensate for any unexpected revenue shortfall and fail to meet our forecasts. Unexpected revenue shortfalls may also decrease our gross margins and could cause significant changes in our operating results from quarter to quarter. As a result, and in addition to the factors listed above, any of the following factors could have a significant and adverse impact on our operating results, could result in a shortfall of revenue and could result in losses to us:
 
•  a client’s decision not to pursue a new project or proceed to succeeding stages of a current project
 
•  the completion during a quarter of several major client projects could require us to pay underutilized employees in subsequent periods
 
•  adverse business decisions of our clients regarding the use of our services
 
•  our inability to transition employees quickly from completed projects to new engagements
 
•  our inability to manage costs, including personnel, infrastructure, facility and support services costs
 
•  exchange rate fluctuations
 
Due to the foregoing factors, it is possible that in some future periods our revenue and operating results may not meet the expectations of securities analysts or investors. If this occurs, the trading price of our common stock could fall substantially either suddenly or over time and our business, financial condition and results of operations would be adversely affected.
 
The loss of key members of our senior management team may prevent us from executing our business strategy.
 
Our future success depends to a significant extent on the continued service and performance of key members of our senior management team. Our growth and success depends to a significant extent on our ability to retain Kris Canekeratne, our chief executive officer, who is a founder of our company and has led the growth, operation, culture and strategic direction of our business since its inception. The loss of his services or the services of other key members of our senior management could seriously harm our ability to execute our business strategy. We also may have to incur significant costs in identifying, hiring, training and retaining replacements for key employees. The loss of any member of our senior management team might significantly delay or prevent the achievement of our business or development objectives and could materially harm our business.

We may lose revenue if our clients terminate or delay their contracts with us.
 
Our clients typically retain us on a non-exclusive, engagement-by-engagement basis, rather than under exclusive long-term contracts. Many of our contracts for services have terms of less than 12 months and permit our clients to terminate our engagement on prior written notice of 90 days or less for convenience, and without termination-related penalties. Further, many large client projects typically involve multiple independently defined stages, and clients may choose not to retain us for additional stages of a project or cancel or delay their start dates. These terminations, cancellations or delays could result from factors unrelated to our work product or the progress of the project, including:
 
•  client financial difficulties
 
•  a change in a client’s strategic priorities, resulting in a reduced level of IT spending
 
•  a client’s demand for price reductions
 
•  a change in a client’s outsourcing strategy that shifts work to in-house IT departments or to our competitors
 
•  replacement by our client of existing software to packaged software supported by licensors
 
If our contracts were terminated early or materially delayed, our business and operating results could be materially harmed and the value of our common stock could be impaired. Unexpected terminations, cancellation or delays in our client engagements could also result in increased operating expenses as we transition our employees to other engagements.
 
We may incur liability as a result of our failure to register under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 between 2003 and 2005 when we had more than 500 option holders.
 
Section 12(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, or the Exchange Act, requires that companies with more than $10 million in assets and 500 or more equity security holders at any fiscal year-end register as a reporting company. We had granted stock options to more than 500 persons as of March 31, 2003 and, accordingly, may have been required to file a registration statement on Form 10 by July 29, 2003. We failed to register our options on Form 10 at that time. In July 2005, we reduced the number of our option holders to fewer than 300, which would have permitted us to terminate any Section 12(g) registration. Although we will register as a reporting company under the Exchange Act in connection with this offering, our failure to register under Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act as a result of having 500 or more option holders between 2003 and 2005 could subject us and our officers and directors to an enforcement action brought by the Securities and Exchange Commission and to fines and penalties. In addition, the SEC could require us to prepare and file a registration statement on Form 10 and all periodic reports that we would have been required to file as a reporting company had we registered in fiscal 2004. Preparing and filing these reports at this time would be costly and time-consuming and could distract our management from our operations, which could negatively affect our business. It could also cause us to be perceived adversely by the investment community and cause our stock price to decline. In addition, our failure to file required Exchange Act reports could give rise to actions by federal regulators, or to potential claims by current or former option holders and stockholders based on the assertion that such holders were harmed by the absence of such public reports. If any such claim or action is asserted, we could incur expenses and management’s attention would be diverted in defending the claim or action.

In addition, as a result of our failure to register under the Exchange Act, grants to 16 employees of stock options for an aggregate of 318,700 shares of common stock with an aggregate exercise price of $462,350 and a weighted average exercise price of $1.45 per share may not have been exempt from registration or qualification under federal and state securities laws. Although we believe that those option grants were made pursuant to valid exemptions from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, or the Securities Act, the holders of those options could nonetheless assert that they have rescission rights. If we are required, or elect, to make rescission offers to the holders of those options and such offers are accepted, we could be required to make payments to those holders equal to the value of the options plus statutory interest. Moreover, our financial exposure could be higher if so determined by the courts or regulators.
 
We may face damage to our professional reputation if our services do not meet our clients’ expectations.
 
Many of our projects involve technology applications or systems that are critical to the operations of our clients’ businesses and handle very large volumes of transactions. If we fail to perform our services correctly, we may be unable to deliver applications or systems to our clients with the promised functionality or within the promised time frame, or to satisfy the required service levels for support and maintenance. If a client is not satisfied with our services or products, including those of subcontractors we employ, our business may suffer. Moreover, if we fail to meet our contractual obligations, our clients may terminate their contracts and we could face legal liabilities and increased costs, including warranty claims against us. Any failure in a client’s project could result in a claim for substantial damages, non-payment of outstanding invoices, loss of future business with such client and increased costs due to non-billable time of our resources dedicated to address any performance or client satisfaction issues, regardless of our responsibility for such failure.
 
We may not be able to continue to maintain or increase our profitability and our recent growth rates may not be indicative of our future growth.
 
We had an accumulated deficit of $2.7 million as of December 31, 2006. This accumulated deficit is attributable to net losses incurred from our inception in 1996 through fiscal year ended March 31, 2004. We have been consistently profitable only since the quarter ended December 31, 2005. We may not succeed in maintaining our profitability and could incur losses in future periods. We expect to incur additional operating expenses associated with being a public company and we intend to continue to increase our operating expenses, including stock-based compensation, in all areas as we grow our business. If we experience declines in demand or declines in pricing for our services, or if wages in India or Sri Lanka increase at a faster rate than in the United States and the United Kingdom, we will be faced with continued growing costs for our IT professionals, including wage increases. We also expect to continue to make investments in infrastructure, facilities, sales and marketing and other resources as we expand our operations, thus incurring additional costs. If our revenue does not increase to offset these increases in costs or operating expenses, our operating results would be negatively affected. In fact, in future quarters we may not have any revenue growth and our revenue and net income could decline. You should not consider our historic revenue and net income growth rates as indicative of future growth rates. Accordingly, we cannot assure you that we will be able to maintain or increase our profitability in the future.

A significant or prolonged economic downturn in the IT services industry may result in our clients reducing or postponing spending on the services we offer.
 
Our revenue is dependent on entering into large contracts for our services with a limited number of clients each year. Because we are not the exclusive IT service provider for our clients, the volume of work that we perform for any specific client is likely to vary from year to year. There are a number of factors, other than our performance, that could affect the size, frequency and renewal rates of our client contracts. For instance, if economic conditions weaken in the IT services industry, our clients may reduce or postpone their IT spending significantly which may, in turn, lower the demand for our services and negatively affect our revenue and profitability. As a way of dealing with a challenging economic environment, clients may change their outsourcing strategy by performing more work in-house or replacing their existing software with packaged software supported by the licensor. The loss of, or any significant decline in business from, one or more of our major clients likely would lead to a significant decline in our revenue and operating margins, particularly if we are unable to make corresponding reductions in our expenses in the event of any such loss or decline. Moreover, a significant change in the liquidity or financial position of any of these clients could have a material adverse effect on the collectibility of our accounts receivable, liquidity and future operating results.
 
Restrictions on immigration may affect our ability to compete for and provide services to clients in the United States or the United Kingdom, which could result in lost revenue and delays in client engagements and otherwise adversely affect our ability to meet our growth and revenue projections.
 
The vast majority of our employees are Indian and Sri Lankan nationals. The ability of our IT professionals to work in the United States, the United Kingdom and other countries depends on the ability to obtain the necessary visas and entry permits. In recent years, the United States has increased the level of scrutiny in granting H-1B, L-1 and ordinary business visas. In response to terrorist attacks and global unrest, U.S. and U.K. immigration authorities, as well as other countries, have not only increased the level of scrutiny in granting visas, but have also introduced new security procedures, which include extensive background checks, personal interviews and the use of biometrics, as conditions to granting visas and work permits. A number of European countries are considering changes in immigration policies as well. The inability of key project personnel to obtain necessary visas or work permits could delay or prevent our fulfillment of client projects, which could hamper our growth and cause our revenue to decline. These restrictions and additional procedures may delay, or even prevent, the issuance of a visa or work permit to our IT professionals and affect our ability to staff projects in a timely manner. Any delays in staffing a project can result in project postponement, delays or cancellation, which could result in lost revenue and decreased profitability and have a material adverse effect on our business, revenue, profitability and utilization rates.
 
Immigration laws in countries in which we seek to obtain visas or work permits may require us to meet certain other legal requirements as conditions to obtaining or maintaining entry visas. These immigration laws are subject to legislative change and varying standards of application and enforcement due to political forces, economic conditions or other events, including terrorist attacks. We cannot predict the political or economic events that could affect immigration laws, or any restrictive impact those events could have on obtaining or monitoring entry visas for our personnel. Our reliance on work visas and work permits for a significant number of our IT professionals makes us particularly vulnerable to such changes and variations, particularly in the


13


Table of Contents

United States and the United Kingdom, because these immigration and legislative changes affect our ability to staff projects with IT professionals who are not citizens of the country where the onsite work is to be performed. We may not be able to obtain a sufficient number of visas for our IT professionals or may encounter delays or additional costs in obtaining or maintaining such visas. To the extent we experience delays due to such immigration restrictions, we may encounter client dissatisfaction, project and staffing delays in new and existing engagements, project cancellations, higher project costs and loss of revenue, resulting in decreases in profits and a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
 
Our management has limited experience managing a public company, and regulatory compliance may divert its attention from the day-to-day management of our business.
 
We have never operated as a public company. The individuals who constitute our management team have limited experience managing a publicly traded company and limited experience complying with the increasingly complex laws pertaining to public companies. We may need to hire a number of additional employees with public accounting and disclosure experience in order to meet our ongoing obligations as a public company. Our management team and other personnel will need to devote a substantial amount of time to these new compliance initiatives and we may not successfully or efficiently manage our transition into a public company. In particular, these new obligations will require substantial attention from our senior management and divert its attention away from the day-to-day management of our business, which could materially and adversely affect our business operations.
 
In addition, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 requires, among other things, that we maintain effective internal control over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures. In particular, we must perform system and process evaluation and testing of our internal control over financial reporting to allow management and our independent registered public accounting firm to report on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting, which report is first required in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2009, as required by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. Our testing, or the subsequent testing by our independent registered public accounting firm, may reveal deficiencies in our internal control over financial reporting that are deemed to be material weaknesses. To comply with Section 404, we will incur substantial accounting expense and expend significant management time. Compared to many newly-public companies, the scale of our organization and our significant foreign operations may make it more difficult to comply with Section 404 in a timely manner. We may not be able to successfully complete the procedures and certification and attestation requirements of Section 404 by the time we will be required to do so. If we are not able to comply with the requirements of Section 404 in a timely manner, or if we or our independent registered public accounting firm identifies deficiencies in our internal control over financial reporting that are deemed to be material weaknesses, we could be subject to sanctions or investigations by the NASDAQ Global Market, the Securities and Exchange Commission or other regulatory authorities, which would require additional financial and management resources. In addition, because effective internal controls are necessary for us to produce reliable financial reports and prevent fraud, our failure to satisfy the requirements of Section 404 could harm investor confidence in the reliability of our financial statements, which could harm our business and the trading price of our common stock.

We may be required to spend substantial time and expense before we can recognize revenue, if any, from a client contract.
 
The period between our initial contact with a potential client and the execution of a client contract for our services is lengthy, and can extend over one or more fiscal quarters. To sell our services successfully and obtain an executed client contract, we generally have to educate our potential clients about the use and benefits of our services, which can require significant time, expense and capital without the ability to realize revenue, if any. If our sales cycle unexpectedly lengthens for one or more large projects, it would negatively affect the timing of our revenue, and hinder our revenue growth. Furthermore, a delay in our ability to obtain a signed agreement or other persuasive evidence of an arrangement or to complete certain contract requirements in a particular quarter, could reduce our revenue in that quarter. These delays or failures can cause our gross margin and profitability to fluctuate significantly from quarter to quarter. Overall, any significant failure to generate revenue or delays in recognizing revenue after incurring costs related to our sales or services process could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
 
We are investing substantial cash in new facilities and our profitability could be reduced if our business does not grow proportionately.
 
We currently plan to spend approximately $30 million of the net proceeds of this offering over the next three fiscal years in connection with the construction and build-out of a facility on our planned campus in Hyderabad, India. We also intend to make increased investments to expand our existing global delivery centers or procure additional capacity and facilities in Chennai, India and Colombo, Sri Lanka. We may face cost overruns and project delays in connection with these facilities or other facilities we may construct or seek to lease in the future. Such delays may also cause us to incur additional leasing costs to extend the terms of existing facility leases or to enter into new short-term leases if we cannot move into the new facilities in a timely manner. Such expansion may also significantly increase our fixed costs. If we are unable to expand our business and revenue proportionately, our profitability will be reduced.
 
We may not be able to recognize revenue in the period in which our services are performed, which may cause our margins to fluctuate.
 
Our services are performed under both time-and-material and fixed-price arrangements. All revenue is recognized pursuant to applicable accounting standards. These standards require us to recognize revenue once evidence of an arrangement has been obtained, services are delivered, fees are fixed or determinable and collectibility is reasonably assured. If we perform our services prior to the time when we are able to recognize the associated revenue, our margins may fluctuate significantly from quarter to quarter.
 
Additionally, payment of our fees on fixed-price contracts are based on our ability to provide deliverables on certain dates or meet certain defined milestones. Our failure to produce the deliverables or meet the project milestones in accordance with agreed upon specifications or timelines, or otherwise meet a client’s expectations, may result in our having to record the cost related to the performance of services in the period that services were rendered, but delay the timing of revenue recognition to a future period in which the milestone is met.

Our inability to manage to a desired onsite-to-offshore service delivery mix may negatively affect our gross margins and costs and our ability to offer competitive pricing.
 
We may not succeed in maintaining or increasing our profitability and could incur losses in future periods if we are not able to manage to a desired onsite-to-offshore service delivery mix. To the extent that our engagements involve an increasing number of consulting, production support, software package implementation or other services typically requiring a higher percentage of onsite resources, we may not be able to manage to our desired service delivery mix. Additionally, other factors like client constraint or preferences or our inability to manage engagements effectively with limited resources onsite may result in a higher percentage of onsite resources than our desired service delivery mix. Accordingly, we cannot assure you that we will be able to manage to our desired onsite-to-offshore service delivery mix. If we are unable to manage to our targeted service delivery mix, our gross margins may decline and our profitability may be reduced. Additionally, our costs will increase and we may not be able to offer competitive pricing to our clients.
 
The international nature of our business exposes us to several risks, such as significant currency fluctuations and unexpected changes in the regulatory requirements of multiple jurisdictions.
 
We have operations in India, Sri Lanka and the United Kingdom and we serve clients across Europe, North America and Asia. For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006 and the nine months ended December 31, 2006, revenue generated outside of the United States accounted for 14.2% and 24.6% of total revenue, respectively. Our corporate structure also spans multiple jurisdictions, with our parent company incorporated in Delaware and operating subsidiaries organized in India, Sri Lanka and the United Kingdom. As a result, our international revenue and operations are exposed to risks typically associated with conducting business internationally, many of which are beyond our control. These risks include:
 
•  significant currency fluctuations between the U.S. dollar and the U.K. pound sterling (in which our revenue is principally denominated) and the Indian and Sri Lankan rupees (in which a significant portion of our costs are denominated)
 
•  legal uncertainty owing to the overlap of different legal regimes and problems in asserting contractual or other rights across international borders
 
•  potentially adverse tax consequences, such as scrutiny of transfer pricing arrangements by authorities in the countries in which we operate, potential tariffs and other trade barriers
 
•  difficulties in staffing, managing and supporting operations in multiple countries
 
•  potential fluctuations in foreign economies
 
•  unexpected changes in regulatory requirements
 
•  government currency control and restrictions on repatriation of earnings
 
•  the burden and expense of complying with the laws and regulations of various jurisdictions
 
•  domestic and international economic or political changes, hostilities, terrorist attacks and other acts of violence or war


16


Table of Contents

•  earthquakes, tsunamis and other natural disasters in regions where we currently operate or may operate in the future
 
Negative developments in any of these areas in one or more countries could result in a reduction in demand for our services, the cancellation or delay of client contracts, threats to our intellectual property, difficulty in collecting receivables and a higher cost of doing business, any of which could negatively affect our business, financial condition or results of operations.
 
If we fail to manage our rapid growth effectively, we may not be able to obtain, develop or implement new systems, infrastructure, procedures and controls that are required to support our operations, maintain cost controls, market our services and manage our relationships with our clients.
 
We have experienced rapid growth in recent periods. From March 31, 2004 to December 31, 2006, the number of our team members increased from 1,785 to 3,382. We expect that we will continue to grow and our anticipated growth could place a significant strain on our ability to:
 
•  recruit, hire, train, motivate and retain highly-skilled IT services and management personnel
 
•  adequately and timely staff personnel at client locations in the United States and Europe due to increasing immigration and related visa restrictions and intense competition to hire and retain these skilled IT professionals
 
•  adhere to our global delivery process and execution standards
 
•  maintain and manage costs to correspond with timeliness of revenue recognition
 
•  develop and improve our internal administrative infrastructure, including our financial, operational and communication systems, processes and controls
 
•  provide sufficient operational facilities and offshore global delivery centers to accommodate and satisfy the capacity needs of our growing workforce on reasonable commercial terms, or at all, whether by leasing, buying or building suitable real estate
 
•  preserve our corporate culture, values and entrepreneurial environment
 
•  maintain high levels of client satisfaction
 
To manage this anticipated future growth effectively, we must continue to maintain and may need to enhance, our IT infrastructure, financial and accounting systems and controls and manage expanded operations in several locations. We also must attract, integrate, train and retain qualified personnel, especially in the areas of accounting, internal audit and financial disclosure. Further, we will need to manage our relationships with various clients, vendors and other third parties. We may not be able to develop and implement, on a timely basis, if at all, the systems, infrastructure procedures and controls required to support our operations. Additionally some factors, like changes in immigration laws or visa processing restrictions that limit our ability to engage offshore resources at client locations in the United States or the United Kingdom, are outside of our control. Our future operating results will also depend on our ability to develop and maintain a successful sales organization despite our rapid growth. If we are unable to manage our growth, our operating results could fluctuate from quarter to quarter and our financial condition could be materially adversely affected.

Unexpected costs or delays could make our contracts unprofitable.
 
When making proposals for engagements, we estimate the costs and timing for completion of the projects. These estimates reflect our best judgment regarding the efficiencies of our methodologies, staffing of resources, complexities of the engagement and costs. The profitability of our engagements, and in particular our fixed-price contracts, are adversely affected by increased or unexpected costs or unanticipated delays in connection with the performance of these engagements, including delays caused by factors outside our control, which could make these contracts less profitable or unprofitable. The occurrence of any of these costs or delays could result in an unprofitable engagement or litigation.
 
Currency exchange rate fluctuations may negatively affect our operating results.
 
The exchange rates among the Indian and Sri Lankan rupees and the U.S. dollar and the U.K. pound sterling have changed substantially in recent years and may fluctuate substantially in the future. We expect that a majority of our revenue will continue to be generated in the U.S. dollar and U.K. pound sterling for the foreseeable future and that a significant portion of our expenses, including personnel costs, as well as capital and operating expenditures, will continue to be denominated in Indian and Sri Lankan rupees. Accordingly, any material appreciation of the Indian rupee or the Sri Lankan rupee against the U.S. dollar or U.K. pound sterling could have a material adverse effect on our cost of services, gross margin and net income, which may in turn have a negative impact on our business, operating results and financial condition.
 
We may face liability if we inappropriately disclose confidential client information.
 
In the course of providing services to our clients, we may have access to confidential client information. We are bound by certain agreements to use and disclose this information in a manner consistent with the privacy standards under regulations applicable to our clients. Although these privacy standards may not apply directly to us, if any person, including an employee of ours, misappropriates client confidential information, or if client confidential information is inappropriately disclosed due to a breach of our computer systems, system failures or otherwise, we may have substantial liabilities to our clients or our clients’ customers. In addition, in the event of any breach or alleged breach of our confidentiality agreements with our clients, these clients may terminate their engagements with us or sue us for breach of contract, resulting in the associated loss of revenue and increased costs. We may also be subject to civil or criminal liability if we are deemed to have violated applicable regulations. We cannot assure you that we will adequately address the risks created by the regulations to which we may be contractually obligated to abide.
 
We will incur significant increased costs as a result of being a public company.
 
We will face increased legal, accounting, administrative and other costs and expenses as a public company that we do not incur as a private company. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act, as well as rules subsequently implemented by the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board and the NASDAQ Stock Market, has imposed various requirements on public companies, including changes in the corporate governance practices of public companies. We expect these rules and regulations to increase our legal and financial compliance costs and to make legal, accounting and administrative activities more time-consuming and costly. We also expect to incur substantially higher costs to obtain directors and officers insurance.

Our failure to anticipate rapid changes in technology may negatively affect demand for our services in the marketplace.
 
Our success will depend, in part, on our ability to develop and implement business and technology solutions that anticipate rapid and continuing changes in technology, industry standards and client preferences. We may not be successful in anticipating or responding to these developments on a timely basis, which may negatively affect demand for our solutions in the marketplace. Also, if our competitors respond faster than we do to changes in technology, industry standards and client preferences, we may lose business and our services may become less competitive or obsolete. Any one or a combination of these circumstances could have a material adverse effect on our ability to obtain and successfully complete client engagements.
 
Interruptions or delays in service from our third-party providers could impair our global delivery model, which could result in client dissatisfaction and a reduction of our revenue.
 
We depend upon third parties to provide a high speed network of active voice and data communications 24 hours per day and various satellite and optical links between our global delivery centers and our clients. Consequently, the occurrence of a natural disaster or other unanticipated problems with the equipment or at the facilities of these third-party providers could result in unanticipated interruptions in the delivery of our services. For example, we may not be able to maintain active voice and data communications between our global delivery centers and our clients’ sites at all times due to disruptions in these networks, system failures or virus attacks. Any significant loss in our ability to communicate or any impediments to any IT professional’s ability to provide services to our clients could result in a disruption to our business, which could hinder our performance or our ability to complete client projects in a timely manner. This, in turn, could lead to substantial liability to our clients, client dissatisfaction, loss of revenue and a material adverse effect on our business, our operating results and financial condition. We cannot assure you that our business interruption insurance will adequately compensate our clients or us for losses that may occur. Even if covered by insurance, any failure or breach of security of our systems could damage our reputation and cause us to lose clients.
 
Our services may infringe on the intellectual property rights of others, which may subject us to legal liability, harm our reputation, prevent us from offering some services to our clients or distract management.
 
We cannot be sure that our services or the deliverables that we develop and create for our clients do not infringe the intellectual property rights of third parties and infringement claims may be asserted against us or our clients. These claims may harm our reputation, distract management, cost us money and prevent us from offering some services to our clients. Historically, we have generally agreed to indemnify our clients for all expenses and liabilities resulting from infringement of intellectual property rights of third parties based on the services and deliverables that we have performed and provided to our clients. In some instances, the amount of these indemnities may be greater than the revenue we receive from the client. In addition, as a result of intellectual property litigation, we may be required to stop selling, incorporating or using products that use or incorporate the infringed intellectual property. We may be required to obtain a license or pay a royalty to make, sell or use the relevant technology from the owner of the infringed intellectual property. Such licenses or royalties may not be available on commercially reasonable terms, or at all. We may also be required to redesign our


19


Table of Contents

services or change our methodologies so as not to use the infringed intellectual property, which may not be technically or commercially feasible and may cause us to expend significant resources. Subject to certain limitations, under our indemnification obligations to our clients, we may also have to provide refunds to our clients to the extent that we must require them to cease using an infringing deliverable if we are unable to provide a work around or acquire a license to permit use of the infringing deliverable that we had provided to them as part of a service engagement. If we are obligated to make any such refunds or dedicate time to provide alternatives or acquire a license to the infringing intellectual property, our business and financial condition could be materially adversely affected.
 
Any claims or litigation involving intellectual property, whether we ultimately win or lose, could be extremely time-consuming, costly and injure our reputation.
 
As the number of patents, copyrights and other intellectual property rights in our industry increases, we believe that companies in our industry will face more frequent infringement claims. Defending against these claims, even if the claims have no merit, may not be covered by or could exceed the protection offered by our insurance and could divert management’s attention and resources from operating our company.
 
Our ability to raise capital in the future may be limited and our failure to raise capital when needed could prevent us from growing.
 
We anticipate that our current cash and cash equivalents, together with the net proceeds of this offering, will be sufficient to meet our current needs for general corporate purposes for the foreseeable future. We may also need additional financing to execute our current or future business strategies, including to:
 
•  add additional global delivery centers
 
•  procure additional capacity and facilities
 
•  hire additional personnel
 
•  enhance our operating infrastructure
 
•  acquire businesses or technologies
 
•  otherwise respond to competitive pressures
 
If we raise additional funds through the issuance of equity or convertible debt securities, the percentage ownership of our stockholders could be significantly diluted and these newly issued securities may have rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of existing stockholders. If we incur additional debt financing, a substantial portion of our operating cash flow may be dedicated to the payment of principal and interest on such indebtedness, thus limiting funds available for our business activities. Any such debt financing could require us to comply with restrictive financial and operating covenants, which could have a material adverse impact on our business, results of operations or financial condition. We cannot assure you that additional financing will be available on terms favorable to us, or at all. If adequate funds are not available or are not available on acceptable terms, when we desire them, our ability to fund our operations and growth, take advantage of unanticipated opportunities or otherwise respond to competitive pressures may be significantly limited.

Potential future acquisitions, strategic investments, partnerships or alliances could be difficult to identify and integrate, divert the attention of key management personnel, disrupt our business, dilute stockholder value and adversely affect our financial results.
 
We may acquire or make strategic investments in complementary businesses, technologies or services or enter into strategic partnerships or alliances with third parties to enhance our business. If we do identify suitable candidates, we may not be able to complete transactions on terms commercially acceptable to us, if at all. These types of transactions involve numerous risks, including:
 
•  difficulties in integrating operations, technologies, accounting and personnel
 
•  difficulties in supporting and transitioning clients of our acquired companies or strategic partners
 
•  diversion of financial and management resources from existing operations
 
•  risks of entering new markets
 
•  potential loss of key employees
 
•  inability to generate sufficient revenue to offset transaction costs
 
We may finance future transactions through debt financing or the issuance of our equity securities or a combination of the foregoing. Acquisitions financed with the issuance of our equity securities could be dilutive, which could affect the market price of our stock. Acquisitions financed with debt could require us to dedicate a substantial portion of our cash flow to principal and interest payments and could subject us to restrictive covenants. Acquisitions also frequently result in the recording of goodwill and other intangible assets that are subject to potential impairments in the future that could harm our financial results. It is possible that we may not identify suitable acquisition, strategic investment or partnership or alliance candidates. Our inability to identify suitable acquisition targets, strategic investments, partners or alliances, or our inability to complete such transactions, may negatively affect our competitiveness and growth prospects. Moreover, if we fail to properly evaluate acquisitions, alliances or investments, we may not achieve the anticipated benefits of any such transaction and we may incur costs in excess of what we anticipate.
 
Our profitability is dependent on our billing and utilization rates, which may be negatively affected by various factors.
 
Our profit margin is largely a function of the rates we are able to charge for our services and the utilization rate of our IT professionals. The rates we are able to charge for our services are affected by a number of factors, including:
 
•  our clients’ perception of our ability to add value through our services
 
•  the introduction of new services or products by us or our competitors
 
•  the pricing policies of our competitors
 
•  general economic conditions


21


Table of Contents

A number of factors affect our utilization rate, including:
 
•  our ability to transition employees quickly from completed or terminated projects to new engagements
 
•  our ability to maintain continuity of existing resources on existing projects
 
•  our ability to obtain visas for offshore personnel to commence projects at a client site for new or existing engagements
 
•  the amount of time spent by our employees on non-billable training activities
 
•  our ability to forecast demand for our services and thereby maintain an appropriate number of employees
 
•  our ability to manage employee attrition
 
•  seasonal trends, primarily our hiring cycle, holidays and vacations
 
•  the number of campus hires
 
If we are not able to maintain the rates we charge for our services or maintain an appropriate utilization rate for our IT professionals, our revenue will decline, our costs will increase and we will not be able to sustain our profit margin, any of which will have a material adverse effect on our profitability.
 
We depend on clients primarily located in the United States and the United Kingdom, as well as clients concentrated in specific industries, and are therefore subject to risks relating to developments affecting these clients that may cause them to reduce or postpone their IT spending.
 
For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006, we derived substantially all of our revenue from clients located in the United States and the United Kingdom, as well as clients concentrated in certain industries. During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006, we generated 86% of our revenue in the United States and 14% of our revenue in the United Kingdom. For the same fiscal year, we derived substantially all of our revenue from three industries: communications and technology; banking, financial services and insurance; and media and information. If economic conditions weaken, particularly in the United States, the United Kingdom or any of these industries, our clients may significantly reduce or postpone their IT spending. Reductions in IT budgets, increased consolidation or decreased competition in these geographic locations or industries could result in an erosion of our client base and a reduction in our target market. Any reductions in the IT spending of companies in any one of these industries may reduce the demand for our services and negatively affect our revenue and profitability.
 
Some of our client contracts contain restrictions or penalty provisions that, if triggered, could result in lower future revenue and decrease our profitability.
 
We have entered in the past, and may in the future enter, into contracts that contain restrictions or penalty provisions that, if triggered, may adversely affect our operating results. For instance, some of our client contracts provide that, during the term of the contract and for a certain period thereafter ranging from six to 12 months, we may not use the same personnel to provide similar services to any of the client’s competitors. This restriction may hamper our ability to compete for and provide services to clients in the same industry. In addition, some contracts contain provisions


22

that would require us to pay penalties to our clients if we do not meet pre-agreed service level requirements. If any of the foregoing were to occur, our future revenue and profitability under these contracts could be materially harmed.
 
Negative public perception in the United States and the United Kingdom regarding offshore IT service providers and proposed legislation may adversely affect demand for our services.
 
We have based our growth strategy on certain assumptions regarding our industry, services and future demand in the market for such services. However, the trend to outsource IT services may not continue and could reverse. Offshore outsourcing is a politically sensitive topic in the United States and the United Kingdom. For example, many organizations and public figures in the United States and the United Kingdom have publicly expressed concern about a perceived association between offshore outsourcing providers and the loss of jobs in their home countries. In addition, there has been recent publicity about the negative experience of certain companies that use offshore outsourcing, particularly in India. Current or prospective clients may elect to perform such services themselves or may be discouraged from transferring these services from onshore to offshore providers to avoid negative perceptions that may be associated with using an offshore provider. Any slowdown or reversal of existing industry trends towards offshore outsourcing would seriously harm our ability to compete effectively with competitors that operate out of facilities located in the United States or the United Kingdom.
 
Legislation in the United States or the United Kingdom may be enacted that is intended to discourage or restrict outsourcing. In the United States, a variety of federal and state legislation has been proposed that, if enacted, could restrict or discourage U.S. companies from outsourcing their services to companies outside the United States. For example, legislation has been proposed that would require offshore providers to identify where they are located. In addition, it is possible that legislation could be adopted that would restrict U.S. private sector companies that have federal or state government contracts from outsourcing their services to offshore service providers. We do not currently have any contracts with U.S. federal or state government entities. However, there can be no assurance that these restrictions will not extend to or be adopted by private companies, including our clients. Recent legislation introduced in the United Kingdom has also been introduced to restrict or discourage companies from outsourcing their services, including IT services. Any changes to existing laws or the enactment of new legislation restricting offshore outsourcing in the United States or the United Kingdom may adversely affect our ability to do business in the United States or in the United Kingdom, particularly if these changes are widespread, and could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
 
Risks related to our Indian and Sri Lankan operations
 
Political instability or changes in the government in India could result in the change of several policies relating to foreign direct investment and repatriation of capital and dividends. Further, changes in the economic policies could adversely affect economic conditions in India generally and our business in particular.
 
We have a subsidiary in India and a significant portion of our business, fixed assets and human resources are located in India. As a result, our business is affected by foreign exchange rates and controls, interest rates, changes in government policy, taxation, social and civil unrest and other political, economic or other developments in or affecting India.

Table of Contents

 
Since 1991, successive Indian governments have pursued policies of economic liberalization, including significantly relaxing restrictions on foreign direct investment into India with repatriation benefits. Nevertheless, the roles of the Indian central and state governments in the Indian economy as producers, consumers and regulators have remained significant. The rate of economic liberalization could change and specific laws and policies affecting software companies, foreign investment, currency exchange and other matters affecting investment in our securities could change as well. A significant change in India’s economic liberalization and deregulation policies could adversely affect business and economic conditions in India generally and our business in particular, if new restrictions on the private sector are introduced or if existing restrictions are increased.
 
Changes in the policies of the government of Sri Lanka or political instability could delay the further liberalization of the Sri Lankan economy and adversely affect economic conditions in Sri Lanka, which could adversely affect our business.
 
Our subsidiary in Sri Lanka has been approved as an export computer software developer by the Board of Investment in Sri Lanka, which is a statutory body organized to facilitate foreign investment into Sri Lanka and grant concessions and benefits to entities with which it has entered into agreements. Pursuant to our agreement with the Board of Investment, our subsidiary is entitled to exemptions from taxation on income for a period of 12 years expiring on March 31, 2019. Our subsidiary is also exempt from exchange control regulations which will enable our subsidiary to repatriate dividends abroad. Nevertheless, government policies relating to taxation other than on income would have an impact on the subsidiary, and the political, economic or social factors in Sri Lanka may affect these policies. Historically, past incumbent governments have followed policies of economic liberalization. However, we cannot assure you that the current government or future governments will continue these liberal policies.
 
Regional conflicts or terrorist attacks and other acts of violence or war in India, Sri Lanka, the United States or other regions could adversely affect financial markets, resulting in loss of client confidence and our ability to serve our clients which, in turn, could adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.
 
The Asian region has from time to time experienced instances of civil unrest and hostilities among neighboring countries, including between India and Pakistan. Since May 1999, military confrontations between India and Pakistan have occurred in Kashmir. Also, there have been military hostilities and civil unrest in Iraq. Terrorist attacks, such as the ones that occurred in New York and Washington, D.C., on September 11, 2001, New Delhi on December 13, 2001, Bali on October 12, 2002, civil or political unrest in Sri Lanka and other acts of violence or war, including those involving India, Sri Lanka, the United States, the United Kingdom or other countries, may adversely affect U.S., U.K. and worldwide financial markets. Prospective clients may wish to visit several of our facilities, including our global delivery centers in India and Sri Lanka, prior to reaching a decision on vendor selection. Terrorist threats, attacks and international conflicts could make travel more difficult and cause potential clients to delay, postpone or cancel decisions to use our services. In addition, such attacks may have an adverse impact on our ability to operate effectively and interrupt lines of communication and restrict our offshore resources from traveling onsite to client locations, effectively curtailing our ability to deliver our services to our clients. These obstacles may increase our expenses and negatively affect our operating results. In addition, military activity, terrorist attacks, political tensions between India and Pakistan and conflicts within Sri Lanka could create a greater perception that


24


Table of Contents

the acquisition of services from companies with significant Indian or Sri Lankan operations involves a higher degree of risk that could adversely affect client confidence in India or Sri Lanka as a software development center, each of which would have a material adverse effect on our business.
 
Our net income may decrease if the governments of the United Kingdom, the United States, India or Sri Lanka adjust the amount of our taxable income by challenging our transfer pricing policies.
 
Our subsidiaries conduct intercompany transactions among themselves and with the U.S. parent company on an arm’s-length basis in accordance with U.S. and local country transfer pricing regulations. The jurisdictions in which we pay income taxes could challenge our determination of arm’s-length profit and issue tax assessments. Although the United States has income tax treaties with all countries in which we have operations, which mitigates the risk of double taxation, the costs to appeal any such tax assessment and potential interest and penalties could decrease our earnings and cash flows.
 
The Indian taxing authorities recently issued an assessment order with respect to their examination of the tax return for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2004 of our Indian subsidiary, Virtusa (India) Private Ltd., or Virtusa India. At issue were several matters, the most significant of which was the re-determination of the arm’s-length profit which should be recorded by Virtusa India on the intercompany transactions with its affiliates. We are contesting the assessment and have filed appeals with both the appropriate Indian tax authorities and the U.S. Competent Authority. During the nine months ended December 31, 2006, we recorded a $0.4 million reserve related to this matter. In addition, the Indian tax authorities are conducting an audit of our fiscal year ended March 31, 2005. Although no assessments have been issued to date, we may receive assessments in the future related to our intercompany pricing arrangements. Any failure of our appeals with India or audit assessments from India, Sri Lanka, the United Kingdom or the United States could reduce our earnings and cash flows.
 
Our net income may decrease if the governments of India or Sri Lanka reduce or withdraw tax benefits and other incentives provided to us or levy new taxes.
 
Our Indian subsidiary, Virtusa India, is an export-oriented company under the Indian Income Tax Act of 1961 and is entitled to claim tax exemption for each Software Technology Park, or STP, which it operates. Virtusa India currently operates two STPs, in Chennai and in Hyderabad. Substantially all of the earnings of both STPs qualify as tax-exempt export profits. These holidays will be completely phased out by March 2009, and at that time any profits would be fully taxable at the Indian statutory rate, which is currently 33.7%. Although we believe we have complied with and are eligible for the STP holiday, the government of India may deem us ineligible for the STP holiday or make adjustments to the profit level resulting in an overall increase in our effective tax rate. In anticipation of the phase-out of the STP holidays, we intend to locate at least a portion of our Indian operations in areas designated as a Special Economic Zone, or SEZ, under the SEZ Act of 2005. Although profits from the SEZ operations would be entitled to certain income tax incentives for a period up to 15 years, there is no guarantee that we will secure SEZ status, in which case our overall effective tax rate would increase after the expiration of the STP holiday.
 
In addition, the Finance Minister of India has proposed several changes to the Indian tax laws in the Union Budget 2006-2007. The proposed changes include a service tax on rental property


25


Table of Contents

income, minimum alternative income tax and fringe benefit taxes, and increases in the corporate income and dividend distribution tax rates. The most significant proposal is the change to the fringe benefit tax, which would impose an employer tax on stock compensation paid to our Indian employees, and which would vary depending on the value of our stock. The Finance Minister’s proposal also included provisions to limit the tax benefit associated with SEZ tax holidays. We expect the proposed changes, subject to modification, to be put before the Indian Parliament during April 2007. If adopted, these changes could adversely affect our earnings and cash flows.
 
Our Sri Lankan subsidiary, Virtusa Private Ltd., or Virtusa SL, was approved as an export computer software developer by the Sri Lanka Board of Investment in 1998 and has negotiated multiple extensions of the original holiday period in exchange for further capital investments in Sri Lanka facilities. The most recent 12-year extension, which is set to expire on March 31, 2019, requires that we meet certain new job creation and investment criteria. Any inability to meet the agreed upon timetable for new job creation and investment would jeopardize the new holiday arrangement.
 
Wage pressures and increases in government mandated benefits in India and Sri Lanka may reduce our profit margins.
 
Wage costs in India and Sri Lanka have historically been significantly lower than wage costs in the United States and Europe for comparably-skilled professionals. However, wages in India and Sri Lanka are increasing, which will result in increased costs for IT professionals, particularly project managers and other mid-level professionals. We may need to increase the levels of our employee compensation more rapidly than in the past to remain competitive without the ability to make corresponding increases to our billing rates. Compensation increases may reduce our profit margins, make us less competitive in pricing potential projects against those companies with lower cost resources and otherwise harm our business, operating results and financial condition.
 
In addition, we contribute to benefit funds covering our employees in India and Sri Lanka as mandated by the Indian and Sri Lankan governments. Benefits are based on the employee’s years of service and compensation. If the governments of India and/or Sri Lanka were to legislate increases to the benefits required under these plans or mandate additional benefits, our profitability and cash flows would be reduced.
 
Our facilities are at risk of damage by earthquakes, tsunamis and other natural disasters.
 
In December 2004, Sri Lanka and India were struck by multiple tsunamis that devastated certain areas of both countries. Our Indian and Sri Lankan facilities are located in regions that are susceptible to tsunamis and other natural disasters, which may increase the risk of disruption of information systems and telephone service for sustained periods. Damage or destruction that interrupts our ability to deliver our services could damage our relationships with our clients and may cause us to incur substantial additional expense to repair or replace damaged equipment or facilities. Our insurance coverage may not be sufficient to cover all such expenses. Furthermore, we may be unable to secure such insurance coverage or to secure such insurance coverage at premiums acceptable to us in the future. Prolonged disruption of our services as a result of natural disasters may cause our clients to terminate their contracts with us and may result in project delays, project cancellations and loss of substantial revenue to us. Prolonged disruptions

may also harm our team members or cause them to relocate, which could have a material adverse effect on our business.
 
The laws of India and Sri Lanka do not protect intellectual property rights to the same extent as those of the United States and we may be unsuccessful in protecting our intellectual property rights. Unauthorized use of our intellectual property rights may result in loss of clients and increased competition.
 
Our success depends, in part, upon our ability to protect our proprietary methodologies, trade secrets and other intellectual property. We rely upon a combination of trade secrets, confidentiality policies, non-disclosure agreements, other contractual arrangements and copyright and trademark laws to protect our intellectual property rights. However, existing laws of India and Sri Lanka do not provide protection of intellectual property rights to the same extent as provided in the United States. The steps we take to protect our intellectual property may not be adequate to prevent or deter infringement or other unauthorized use of our intellectual property. Thus, we may not be able to detect unauthorized use or take appropriate and timely steps to enforce our intellectual property rights. Our competitors may be able to imitate or duplicate our services or methodologies. The unauthorized use or duplication of our intellectual property could disrupt our ongoing business, distract our management and employees, reduce our revenue and increase our costs and expenses. We may need to litigate to enforce our intellectual property rights or to determine the validity and scope of the proprietary rights of others. Any such litigation could be extremely time-consuming and costly and could materially adversely impact our business.
 
Risks relating to this offering and our stock
 
If you purchase shares of common stock in this offering, you will suffer immediate and substantial dilution of your investment and may experience additional dilution in the future.
 
If you purchase common stock in this offering, you will pay more for your shares than the amounts paid by existing stockholders for their shares. As a result, you will incur immediate and substantial dilution of $      per share, representing the difference between our adjusted net tangible book value per share after giving effect to this offering and an assumed initial public offering price of $      per share. Purchasers of shares of our common stock in this offering will have contributed approximately  % of the aggregate price paid by all purchasers of our common stock, but will own only approximately  % of the shares of our common stock outstanding after this offering. Moreover, we issued options in the past to acquire common stock at prices significantly below the initial public offering price. As of March 31, 2007, there were 116,882 shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of warrants at an exercise price of $1.75 per share, 10,052,476 shares subject to outstanding options at a weighted average exercise price of $1.13 per share and 614,235 shares of common stock issuable after this offering under stock appreciation rights, or SARs, reduced by the weighted average exercise price of $1.29 per SAR. To the extent that these outstanding warrants, options or SARs are ultimately exercised, you will incur further dilution. In the future, we may also acquire other companies or assets, raise additional needed capital or finance strategic alliances by issuing equity, which may result in additional dilution to you.

A significant portion of our total outstanding shares may be sold into the public market in the near future, which could cause the market price of our common stock to drop significantly, even if our business is doing well.
 
Sales of a substantial number of shares of our common stock in the public market could occur at any time after the expiration of the lock-up agreements described in “Underwriting.” These sales, or the market perception that the holders of a large number of shares intend to sell shares, could reduce the market price of our common stock. After the close of this offering, we will have           shares of common stock outstanding based on the number of shares outstanding as of March 31, 2007. This includes the        shares that we are selling in this offering, which may be resold in the public market immediately. The remaining           shares, or  % of our outstanding shares after this offering, will be able to be sold, subject to any applicable volume limitations under federal securities laws, in the near future as set forth below.

In addition, as of March 31, 2007, there were 116,882 shares subject to outstanding warrants, 10,052,476 shares subject to outstanding options and an additional 1,307,373 shares reserved for future issuance under our stock option plan that will become eligible for sale in the public market to the extent permitted by any applicable vesting requirements, the lock-up agreements and Rules 144, 144(k) and 701 under the Securities Act. We also maintain a stock appreciation rights plan for the benefit of our non-U.S. employees, which plan, following this offering, will require us to settle all exercises of SARs in shares of our common stock. We have reserved 614,235 shares of common stock for issuance after this offering upon the exercise of SARs outstanding as of March 31, 2007, although this number will be reduced by the exercise price of these SARs. Moreover, after this offering, holders of an aggregate of approximately         shares of our common stock as of March 31, 2007, will have rights, subject to some conditions, to require us to file registration statements covering their shares or to include their shares in registration statements that we may file for ourselves or other stockholders. We also intend to register all shares of common stock that we may issue under our employee incentive plans. Once we register these shares, they can be freely sold in the public market upon issuance, subject to the lock-up agreements and the restrictions imposed on our affiliates under Rule 144.

We do not currently intend to pay dividends on our common stock and, consequently, your ability to achieve a return on your investment will depend on appreciation in the price of our common stock.
 
We have never declared or paid any cash dividends on our common stock and do not currently intend to do so for the foreseeable future. We currently intend to invest our future earnings, if any, to fund our growth. In addition, the terms of our credit facility prohibit us from paying cash dividends. Therefore, you are not likely to receive any dividends on your common stock for the foreseeable future and the success of an investment in shares of our common stock will depend upon any future appreciation in its value. There is no guarantee that shares of our common stock will appreciate in value or even maintain the price at which our stockholders have purchased their shares.
 
Provisions in our charter documents and under Delaware law may prevent or delay a change of control of us and could also limit the market price of our common stock.
 
Certain provisions of Delaware law and of our certificate of incorporation and by-laws to be effective upon the closing of this offering could have the effect of making it more difficult for a third party to acquire, or of discouraging a third party from attempting to acquire, control of us, even if such a change in control would be beneficial to our stockholders or result in a premium for your shares of our common stock. These provisions may also prevent or frustrate attempts by our stockholders to replace or remove our management. These provisions include:
 
•  a classified board of directors
 
•  limitations on the removal of directors
 
•  advance notice requirements for stockholder proposals and nominations
 
•  the inability of stockholders to act by written consent or to call special meetings
 
•  the ability of our board of directors to make, alter or repeal our by-laws
 
The affirmative vote of the holders of at least 75% of our shares of capital stock entitled to vote is necessary to amend or repeal the above provisions that are contained in our certificate of incorporation. In addition, our board of directors has the ability to designate the terms of and issue new series of preferred stock without stockholder approval. Also, absent approval of our board of directors, our by-laws may only be amended or repealed by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 75% of our shares of capital stock entitled to vote.
 
In addition, upon the closing of this offering, we will be subject to the provisions of Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, which limits business combination transactions with stockholders of 15% or more of our outstanding voting stock that our board of directors has not approved. These provisions and other similar provisions make it more difficult for stockholders or potential acquirers to acquire us without negotiation. These provisions may apply even if some stockholders may consider the transaction beneficial to them.
 
These provisions could limit the price that investors are willing to pay in the future for shares of our common stock. These provisions might also discourage a potential acquisition proposal or tender offer, even if the acquisition proposal or tender offer is at a premium over the then current market price for our common stock.

Because our common stock price is likely to be highly volatile, the market price of our common stock could drop unexpectedly.
 
Prior to this offering, there has been no public market for our common stock. The initial public offering price for our common stock will be determined through negotiations with the underwriters. This initial public offering price may vary from the market price of our common stock after the offering. We cannot guarantee that an active trading market will develop or be sustained or that the market price of our common stock will not decline. Even if an active market for our stock develops and continues, our stock price nevertheless may be volatile. Some of the factors that may cause the market price of our common stock to fluctuate include:
 
•  actual or anticipated variations in our quarterly operating results or the quarterly financial results of companies perceived to be similar to us
 
•  announcements of technological innovations or new services by us or our competitors
 
•  changes in estimates of our financial results or recommendations by market analysts
 
•  announcements by us or our competitors of significant projects, contracts, acquisitions, strategic alliances or joint ventures
 
•  changes in our capital structure, such as future issuances of securities or the incurrence of additional debt
 
•  regulatory developments in the United States, the United Kingdom, Sri Lanka, India or other countries in which we operate or have clients
 
•  litigation involving our company, our general industry or both
 
•  additions or departures of key personnel
 
•  investors’ general perception of us
 
•  changes in general economic, industry and market conditions
 
•  changes in the market valuations of other IT service providers
 
Many of these factors are beyond our control. In addition, the stock markets, especially the NASDAQ Global Market, have experienced significant price and volume fluctuations that have affected the market prices of equity securities of many technology companies. These fluctuations have often been unrelated or disproportionate to operating performance. If any of the foregoing occurs, it could cause our stock price to fall and may expose us to securities class action litigation. Any securities class action litigation could result in substantial costs and the diversion of management’s attention and resources.
 
Because we will have broad discretion in using the net proceeds of this offering, the benefits from our use of the proceeds may not meet investors’ expectations.
 
Our management will have broad discretion over the allocation of the net proceeds from this offering as well as over the timing of their expenditure without stockholder approval. Other than the use of approximately $30 million of the net proceeds from this offering during the next three fiscal years to construct and build out a new facility on our planned campus in Hyderabad, India, we have not yet determined the specific amounts of the balance of the net proceeds to be used for working capital and other general corporate purposes, including possible acquisitions of complementary technologies or businesses. As a result, investors will be relying upon management’s judgment with only limited information about our specific intentions for the use of the balance of the net proceeds of this offering. Our failure to apply


30

these proceeds effectively could cause our business to suffer. Pending their use, we may invest the net proceeds from this offering in a manner that does not produce income or that loses value.
 
Our existing stockholders and management control a substantial interest in us and thus may influence certain actions requiring stockholder vote.
 
Upon the closing of this offering, our officers, directors and stockholders affiliated with our directors will beneficially own, in the aggregate, shares representing approximately  % of our outstanding capital stock. As a result of their stock ownership, if these stockholders were to choose to act together, they would be able to control all matters submitted to our stockholders for approval, including the election of directors and approval of any merger, consolidation or sale of all or substantially all of our assets. This concentration of voting power could delay or prevent an acquisition of our company on terms that other stockholders may desire.
 
An active trading market for our common stock may not develop and you may not be able to sell your shares of common stock at or above the initial public offering price or at a time that is acceptable to you.
 
Prior to this offering, there has been no public market for our common stock. Although we have applied to have our common stock listed on the NASDAQ Global Market, an active trading market for shares of our common stock may never develop or be sustained following this offering. If no trading market develops, securities analysts may not initiate or maintain research coverage of our company, which could further depress the market for our common stock. As a result, investors may not be able to sell their common stock at or above the initial public offering price or at the time that they would like to sell.
 
If equity research analysts do not publish research or reports about our business or if they issue unfavorable commentary or downgrade our common stock, the price of our common stock could decline.
 
The trading market for our common stock will rely in part on the research and reports that equity research analysts publish about us and our business. We do not control these analysts. The price of our stock could decline if one or more equity analysts downgrade our stock or if those analysts issue other unfavorable commentary or cease publishing reports about us or our business.

Forward-looking statements
 
This prospectus contains forward-looking statements that are based on our current expectations, assumptions, estimates and projections about our company and our industry. The forward-looking statements are subject to various risks and uncertainties. Generally, these forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “will,” “project,” “seek,” “should, ” “may,” “could,” “would,” “plans,” “predicts,” “potential,” and similar expressions (as well as other words or expressions referencing future events, conditions, or circumstances). Those statements include, among other things, the discussions of our business strategy and expectations concerning our market position, future operations, financial position, revenue, costs, prospects, margins, profitability, liquidity and capital resources, as well as management’s plans and objectives. We caution you that reliance on any forward-looking statement involves risks and uncertainties and that although we believe that the assumptions on which our forward-looking statements are based are reasonable, any of those assumptions could prove to be inaccurate, and, as a result, the forward-looking statements based on those assumptions could be materially incorrect. These factors include but are not limited to:
 
•  our dependence on a limited number of clients
 
•  our ability to expand our business or effectively manage growth
 
•  restrictions on immigration
 
•  increasing competition in the IT services outsourcing industry
 
•  our ability to hire and retain enough sufficiently trained IT professionals to support our operations
 
•  quarterly fluctuations in our earnings
 
•  our ability to attract and retain clients and meet their expectations
 
•  negative public reaction in the United States or the United Kingdom to offshore IT outsourcing
 
•  our ability to sustain profitability or maintain profitable engagements
 
•  technological innovation
 
•  our ability to effectively manage our facility, infrastructure and capacity needs
 
•  regulatory, legislative and judicial developments in our operations areas
 
•  political or economic instability in India or Sri Lanka
 
•  telecommunications or technology disruptions
 
•  worldwide economic and business conditions
 
•  our ability to successfully consummate strategic acquisitions
 
These and other factors are more fully discussed in “Risk factors,” “Management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations” and elsewhere in this prospectus. In light of these and other uncertainties, you should not conclude that we will necessarily achieve any plans, objectives or projected financial results referred to in any of the forward-looking statements. Except as required by law, we do not intend to update any of these forward-looking statements to reflect future events or circumstances.

Industry data
 
Unless otherwise indicated, information contained in this prospectus concerning our industry and the markets in which we operate, including our general expectations and market position, market opportunity and market share, is based on information from various sources (including industry publications, surveys and forecasts and our internal research), on assumptions that we have made, which we believe are reasonable, based on those data and other similar sources and on our knowledge of the markets for our services. Our internal research has not been verified by any independent source and we have not independently verified any third-party information and cannot assure you of its accuracy or completeness. While we believe the market position, market opportunity and market share information included in this prospectus is generally reliable, such information is inherently imprecise. In addition, projections, assumptions and estimates of our future performance and the future performance of the industry in which we operate are necessarily subject to a high degree of uncertainty and risk due to a variety of factors, including those described in “Risk factors” and elsewhere in this prospectus. These and other factors could cause results to differ materially from those expressed in the estimates included in this prospectus.

Use of proceeds
 
We estimate that the net proceeds from this offering will be approximately $      million, assuming an initial public offering price of $      per share, which is the midpoint of the range listed on the cover page of this prospectus and after deducting estimated underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses that we must pay. A $1.00 increase (decrease) in the assumed initial public offering price of $      per share would increase (decrease) the net proceeds to us from this offering by approximately $      million, assuming the number of shares offered by us, as set forth on the cover page of this prospectus, remains the same and after deducting estimated underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us. If the underwriters exercise their over-allotment option in full, we estimate that our net proceeds from this offering will be approximately $      million.
 
If we fund the following solely with the net proceeds from this offering without allocation of funds from other sources, we currently estimate that we will use:
 
•  approximately $30 million of these net proceeds, over the next three fiscal years, to construct and build out a facility on our planned campus in Hyderabad, India
 
•  the remainder of these net proceeds for working capital and other general corporate purposes, including to finance the expansion of our global delivery centers or capacity in Chennai, India and Colombo, Sri Lanka, the hiring of additional personnel, sales and marketing activities, capital expenditures and the costs of operating as a public company
 
We may use a portion of these net proceeds to expand our business into new geographic locations. We may also use a portion of these net proceeds to expand our current business through strategic alliances involving, or acquisitions of, other complementary businesses or technologies. We have no agreements or commitments for any specific acquisitions at this time. Pending use of the net proceeds of this offering, as described above, we plan to invest the net proceeds in a variety of capital preservation investments, including investment-grade, short-term, interest-bearing securities.
 
This expected use of the net proceeds of this offering represents our current intentions based upon our present plans and business condition. The amounts and timing of our actual expenditures will depend upon numerous factors, including cash flows from operations and the anticipated growth of our business. We will retain broad discretion in the allocation and use of our net proceeds.
 
Dividend policy
 
We have never declared or paid cash dividends on our common stock and do not expect to pay dividends in the foreseeable future. We currently intend to retain all of our future earnings to fund the operation, development and expansion of our business. In addition, the terms of our credit facility prohibit us from paying cash dividends. Any future determination to pay dividends will be at the discretion of our board of directors and will depend upon a number of factors, including our results of operations, financial condition, future prospects, contractual restrictions and other factors that our board of directors deems relevant.

A $1.00 increase (decrease) in the assumed initial public offering price of $      per share would increase (decrease) the pro forma as adjusted amount of each of cash and cash equivalents, additional paid-in capital, total stockholders’ equity, total redeemable convertible preferred stock and stockholders’ equity and total capitalization by approximately $      million, assuming that the number of shares offered by us, as set forth on the cover page of this prospectus, remains the same and after deducting estimated underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses.

Dilution
 
If you invest in our common stock, your interest will be diluted immediately to the extent of the difference between the assumed initial public offering price of $      per share, the midpoint of the price range set forth on the cover page of this prospectus, and the adjusted net tangible book value per share of our common stock after this offering.
 
At March 31, 2007, the net tangible book value of our common stock, after giving effect to the conversion of our series A, B, C and D preferred stock upon the closing of this offering, was approximately $      million, or approximately $      per share. We calculate our net tangible book value per share as total assets less intangible assets and total liabilities, divided by the number of shares of our common stock outstanding on March 31, 2007.
 
After giving effect to the sale of           shares of our common stock offered by us at the assumed initial public offering price of $      per share, the midpoint of the price range set forth on the cover page of this prospectus, and after deducting the estimated underwriting discounts, commissions and offering expenses, our adjusted net tangible book value at March 31, 2007 would have been approximately $      million, or approximately $      per share. This amount represents an immediate increase in net tangible book value of approximately $      per share to our existing stockholders and an immediate dilution in net tangible book value of $      per share to new investors purchasing shares of our common stock in this offering.
 
The following table illustrates this dilution without giving effect to the over-allotment option granted to the underwriters.

A $1.00 increase (decrease) in the assumed initial public offering price of $     per share would increase (decrease) the adjusted net tangible book value per share after this offering by approximately $      million, and dilution in net tangible book value per share to new investors by approximately $      assuming that the number of shares offered by us, as set forth on the cover page of this prospectus, remains the same and after deducting estimated underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses.
 
The following table sets forth as of March 31, 2007, the differences between the number of shares of common stock purchased from us, the total consideration paid and the average price per share paid by existing stockholders and new investors purchasing shares of our common stock in this offering, before deducting estimated underwriting discounts, commissions and

The number of shares of our common stock to be outstanding following this offering is based on 57,676,390 shares of our common stock outstanding as of March 31, 2007 and excludes:
 
•  10,052,476 shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of options outstanding as of March 31, 2007, at a weighted average exercise price of $1.13 per share
 
•  614,235 shares of common stock issuable after this offering upon the exercise of SARs outstanding as of March 31, 2007, reduced by the weighted average exercise price of $1.29 per SAR
 
•  2,193,138 additional shares of common stock reserved as of March 31, 2007 for future issuance under our equity incentive plans
 
•  116,882 shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of warrants that will remain outstanding after this offering, at an exercise price of $1.75 per share
 
To the extent any of these outstanding options, SARs or warrants is exercised, there will be further dilution to new investors. To the extent all of such outstanding options, SARs and warrants had been exercised as of March 31, 2007, the adjusted net tangible book value per share after this offering would be $      and total dilution per share to new investors would be $     .
 
If the underwriters exercise their over-allotment option in full:
 
•  the percentage of shares of common stock held by existing stockholders will decrease to approximately  % of the total number of shares of our common stock outstanding after this offering
 
•  the number of shares held by new investors will increase to          , or approximately  % of the total number of shares of our common stock outstanding after this offering

Management’s discussion and analysis of
financial condition and results of operations
 
You should read the following discussion and analysis together with our consolidated financial statements and the related notes appearing elsewhere in this prospectus. This discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results could differ materially from the results described in or implied by these forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including those discussed below and elsewhere in this prospectus, particularly under the heading “Risk factors.”
 
Business overview
 
We are a global information technology services company. We use an offshore delivery model to provide a broad range of IT services, including IT consulting, technology implementation and application outsourcing. Using our enhanced global delivery model, innovative platforming approach and industry expertise, we provide cost-effective services that enable our clients to use IT to enhance business performance, accelerate time-to-market, increase productivity and improve customer service. Headquartered in Massachusetts, we have offices in the United States and the United Kingdom and global delivery centers in Hyderabad and Chennai, India and Colombo, Sri Lanka. We have experienced compounded annual revenue growth of 47% over the four year period ended March 31, 2006.
 
We provide our IT services primarily to enterprises in the following industries: communications and technology, BFSI and media and information. Our current clients include leading global enterprises such as Aetna Life Insurance Company, Bear, Stearns & Co. Inc., BT, Cisco Systems, Inc., ING North America Insurance Corporation, International Business Machines Corporation, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. and Thomson Healthcare Inc., and leading enterprise software developers such as Pegasystems Inc. and Vignette Corporation. We have a high level of repeat business among our clients. For instance, during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006, over 90% of our revenue came from clients to whom we had been providing services for at least one year and over 65% came from clients to whom we had been providing services for at least two years. We have over 3,500 team members, and for the nine months ended December 31, 2006, we had revenue of $89.4 million and income from operations of $10.2 million.
 
Sources of revenue
 
We generate revenue by providing IT services to our clients located primarily in the United States and the United Kingdom. For the nine months ended December 31, 2006, our five largest and 10 largest clients accounted for 49% and 71% of our revenue, respectively. Our largest client, BT, accounted for 22% of our revenue for the same period. During the nine months ended December 31, 2006, 75% of our revenue was generated in the United States and 24% in the United Kingdom. We provide IT services on either a time-and-materials or a fixed-price basis. For the nine months ended December 31, 2006, the percentage of revenue from time-and-materials and fixed-price contracts was 86% and 14%, respectively.
 
Revenue from services provided on a time-and-materials basis is derived from the number of billable hours in a period multiplied by the rates at which we bill our clients. Revenue from services provided on a fixed-price basis is recognized as efforts are expended pursuant to the percentage-of-completion method. Revenue also includes reimbursements of travel and out-of-pocket expenses with equivalent amounts of expense recorded in costs of revenue.


41


Table of Contents

 
Most of our client contracts, including those that are on a fixed-price basis, can be terminated by our clients with or without cause on 30 to 90 days’ prior written notice. All fees for services provided by us through the date of cancellation are generally due and payable under the contract terms.
 
In March 2007, we entered into a five-year IT services agreement with BT that is premised upon BT making minimum aggregate expenditures of approximately $200 million over the term of the agreement. In the event that BT fails to meet any of the annual minimum expenditure targets, BT will lose any discounts under the agreement for the applicable annual period. In such event, BT is also obligated to pay an increasing percentage of any expenditure shortfall to us as liquidated damages. BT is entitled to increasing discounts for expenditures above the annual minimum expenditure targets. As part of this IT services agreement, we are now eligible to bid on work across all divisions within BT. In March 2007, BT, through a wholly-owned subsidiary, also made an equity investment in Virtusa and acquired 2,875,869 shares of our common stock for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $11.3 million.
 
Costs of revenue and gross profit
 
Costs of revenue consist principally of payroll and related fringe benefits, reimbursable and non-reimbursable travel costs, immigration-related expenses, fees for subcontractors working on client engagements and share-based compensation expense for IT professionals including account management personnel.
 
The proportion of work performed at our facilities and at client locations varies from quarter to quarter. We charge higher rates and incur higher compensation and other expenses for work performed at client locations in the United States and the United Kingdom than for work performed at our global delivery centers in India and Sri Lanka. Services performed at client locations or at our offices in the United States or the United Kingdom generate higher revenue per-capita at lower gross margins than similar services performed at our global delivery centers in India and Sri Lanka. As a result, our total revenue, costs of revenue and gross profit in absolute terms and as a percentage of revenue fluctuate quarterly based on the proportion of work performed in our global delivery centers in India and Sri Lanka. We manage to a 20/80 onsite-to-offshore service delivery mix.
 
Wage costs in India and Sri Lanka have historically been significantly lower than wage costs in the United States and Europe for comparably-skilled IT professionals. However, wages in India and Sri Lanka are increasing, which will result in increased costs for IT professionals, particularly project managers and other mid-level professionals. We may need to increase the levels of our employee compensation more rapidly than in the past to remain competitive without the ability to make corresponding increases to our billing rates. Compensation increases may reduce our profit margins, make us less competitive in pricing potential projects against those companies with lower cost resources and otherwise harm our business, operating results and financial condition. We deploy a campus hiring philosophy and encourage internal promotions to minimize the effects of wage inflation pressure and recruiting costs.
 
Our revenue and gross profit are also affected by our ability to efficiently manage and utilize our IT professionals. We define utilization rate as the total number of days billed in a given period divided by the total available days of our IT professionals during that same period, excluding trainees. We manage employee utilization by continually monitoring project requirements and timetables to efficiently staff our projects and meet our clients’ needs. The


42

number of IT professionals assigned to a project will vary according to the size, complexity, duration and demands of the project. An unanticipated termination of a significant project could cause us to experience a higher than expected number of unassigned IT professionals, thereby lowering our utilization rate.
 
Operating expenses
 
Operating expenses consist primarily of payroll and related fringe benefits, commissions, share-based compensation and non-reimbursable travel costs, as well as promotion, communications, management, finance, administrative, occupancy, marketing and depreciation and amortization expenses. In the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006 and the nine months ended December 31, 2006, we invested in all aspects of our business, including sales, marketing, IT infrastructure, human resources programs and financial operations.
 
Other income (expense)
 
Other income (expense) includes interest income, interest expense, investment gains and losses and foreign currency transaction gains and losses. The functional currencies of our subsidiaries are their local currencies. Foreign currency gains and losses are generated primarily by fluctuations of the Indian rupee, Sri Lankan rupee and U.K. pound sterling against the U.S. dollar on inter-company transactions.
 
In past periods, we have realized investment gains and losses from equity holdings in private and public companies. We have not made any new equity investments in private or public companies in the past five years.
 
Income tax expense (benefit)
 
Our net income is subject to income tax in those countries in which we perform services and have operations, including India, Sri Lanka, the United Kingdom and the United States. In previous years, we accumulated net operating loss carry-forwards which will be available to offset U.S. taxable income into fiscal 2008. We have benefited from long-term income tax holiday arrangements in both India and Sri Lanka that are offered to certain export-oriented IT services firms. As a result of these net operating losses and tax holiday arrangements, our worldwide profit has been subject to a relatively low effective tax rate as compared to the statutory rates in the countries in which we operate. The effect of the income tax holidays increased our net income in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006 and the nine months ended December 31, 2006 by $1.2 million and $2.0 million, respectively.
 
Our effective tax rates were 8.1% and (35.7%) for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006 and the nine months ended December 31, 2006, respectively. At December 31, 2006, we determined that it was more likely than not that most of our deferred tax assets would be realized based upon our positive cumulative operating results and our assessment of our expected future results. As a result, we released most of our valuation allowance and recognized a discrete income tax benefit of $5.0 million in our statement of operations for the nine months ended December 31, 2006. Our effective tax rate in future periods will be affected by the geographic distribution of our earnings, as well as the availability of tax holidays in India and Sri Lanka.

Indian tax proposals
 
The Finance Minister of India has proposed several changes to the Indian tax laws in the Union Budget 2006-2007. The proposed changes include a service tax on rental property income, minimum alternative income tax and fringe benefit taxes, and increases in the corporate income and dividend distribution tax rates. The most significant proposal is the change to the fringe benefit tax, which would impose an employer tax on stock compensation paid to our Indian employees and which would vary depending on the value of our stock. The Finance Minister’s proposal also included provisions to limit the tax benefit associated with Special Economic Zone tax holidays. We expect the proposed changes, subject to modification, to be put before the Indian Parliament during April 2007. If adopted, these changes could adversely affect our earnings and cash flows.
 
Application of critical accounting estimates and risks
 
Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP. Preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of revenue and expenses, assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We consider an accounting estimate to be critical to the preparation of our financial statements when both of the following are present:
 
•  the estimate is complex in nature or requires a high degree of judgment
 
•  the use of different estimates and assumptions could have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements
 
We have discussed the development and selection of our critical accounting estimates and related disclosures with the audit committee of our board of directors. Those estimates critical to the preparation of our consolidated financial statements are listed below.
 
Revenue recognition
 
Our revenue is derived from a variety of IT consulting, technology implementation and application outsourcing services. Our services are performed under both time-and-material and fixed-price arrangements. All revenue is recognized pursuant to GAAP. Revenue is recognized as work is performed and amounts are earned in accordance with the SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin, or SAB, No. 101, Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements, as amended by SAB No. 104, Revenue Recognition. We consider amounts to be earned once evidence of an arrangement has been obtained, services are delivered, fees are fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured. For contracts with fees billed on a time-and-materials basis, we generally recognize revenue over the period of performance.
 
Fixed-price engagements are accounted for under the percentage-of-completion method in accordance with the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants Statement of Position, or SOP, 81-1, Accounting for Performance of Construction-Type and Certain Production-Type Contracts. Under the percentage-of-completion method, we estimate the percentage-of-completion by comparing the actual number of work days performed to date to the estimated total number of days required to complete each engagement. The use of the percentage-of-completion method requires significant judgment relative to estimating total contract revenue

and costs to completion, including assumptions and estimates relative to the length of time to complete the project, the nature and complexity of the work to be performed and anticipated changes in other engagement-related costs. Estimates of total contract revenue and costs to completion are continually monitored during the term of the contract and are subject to revision as the contract progresses. Unforeseen circumstances may arise during an engagement requiring us to revise our original estimates and may cause the estimated profitability to decrease. When revisions in estimated contract revenue and efforts are determined, such adjustments are recorded in the period in which they are first identified. Depending on the specific contractual provisions and nature of the deliverable, revenue may be recognized as milestones are achieved or when final deliverables have been accepted.
 
Foreign currency translation
 
The functional currencies of our non-U.S. subsidiaries are their local currencies. The operating and capital expenditures of our subsidiaries in India, Sri Lanka and the United Kingdom are denominated in their local currencies, which are the currencies most compatible with their expected economic results. Inter-company transactions are recorded in either U.S. dollars or U.K. pounds sterling. U.K. client sales contracts are recorded in U.K. pounds sterling.
 
All transactions and account balances are denominated in the local currency. We translate non-U.S. subsidiaries’ local currency-denominated assets and liabilities into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date. Resulting translation adjustments are recorded in stockholders’ equity as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). The local currency-denominated statement of operations amounts are translated into U.S. dollars using the average exchange rates in effect during the period. Realized foreign currency transaction gains and losses are included in the consolidated statements of operations. Our non-U.S. subsidiaries do not operate in “highly inflationary” countries.
 
Income taxes
 
The calculation of our tax liabilities involves dealing with uncertainties in the application of complex tax regulations in multiple jurisdictions. We record liabilities for estimated tax obligations in the United States and other tax jurisdictions. Determining the consolidated provision for income tax expense, tax reserves, deferred tax assets and liabilities and related valuation allowance, if any, involves judgment. We calculate and provide for income taxes in each of the jurisdictions in which we operate, including India, Sri Lanka, the United States and the United Kingdom, and this can involve complex issues which require an extended period of time to resolve. In the year of any such resolution, additional adjustments may need to be recorded that result in increases or decreases to income. Our overall effective tax rate fluctuates due to a variety of factors, including changes in the geographic mix or estimated level of annual pretax income, as well as newly enacted tax legislation in each of the jurisdictions in which we operate.
 
Applicable transfer pricing regulations require that transactions between and among our subsidiaries be conducted at an arm’s-length price. On an ongoing basis we estimate an appropriate arm’s-length price and use such estimate for our intercompany transactions.
 
On an ongoing basis, we evaluate whether a valuation allowance is needed to reduce our deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized. This evaluation considers the weight of all available evidence, including both future taxable income and


45


Table of Contents

ongoing prudent and feasible tax planning strategies. In the event that we determine that we will not be able to realize a recognized deferred tax asset in the future, an adjustment to the valuation allowance would be made resulting in a decrease in income in the period such determination was made. Likewise, should we determine that we will be able to realize all or part of an unrecognized deferred tax asset in the future, an adjustment to the valuation allowance would be made resulting in an increase to income (or equity in the case of excess stock option tax benefits). At December 31, 2006, we determined that it was more likely than not that most of our deferred tax assets would be realized based upon our positive cumulative operating results and our assessment of our expected future results. As a result, we released most of our valuation allowance and recognized a discrete income tax benefit of $5.0 million in our statement of operations for the nine months ended December 31, 2006.
 
We have benefited from long-term income tax holiday arrangements in both India and Sri Lanka. Our Indian subsidiary is an export-oriented company that is entitled to claim a tax exemption for a period of 10 years for each Software Technology Park, or STP, it operates. All STP holidays will be completely phased out by March 2009 and, at that time, any profits could be fully taxable at the Indian statutory rate, which is currently 33.7%. Although we believe we have complied with and are eligible for the STP holiday, it is possible that upon examination the government of India may deem us ineligible for the STP holiday or make adjustments to the profit level. In anticipation of the phase-out of the STP holidays, we intend to locate at least a portion of our Indian operations in areas designated as SEZs to secure additional tax exemptions for a period of 10 years, which could extend to 15 years if we meet certain reinvestment requirements. Our Sri Lankan subsidiary has been granted an income tax holiday by the Sri Lanka Board of Investment which expires on March 31, 2019. The tax holiday is contingent upon a certain level of job creation during a given timetable. Any inability to meet the agreed upon level or timetable for new job creation would jeopardize this holiday arrangement. Primarily as a result of these tax holiday arrangements, our worldwide profit has been subject to a relatively low effective tax rate, and the loss of any of these arrangements would increase our overall effective tax rate.
 
It is our intent to reinvest all accumulated earnings from India and Sri Lanka back into their respective operations to fund growth. As a component of this strategy, pursuant to Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 23, Accounting for Income Taxes-Special Areas, we do not accrue incremental U.S. taxes on Indian or Sri Lanka earnings as these earnings are considered to be permanently or indefinitely reinvested outside of the United States. If such earnings were to be repatriated in the future or are no longer deemed to be indefinitely reinvested, we will accrue the applicable amount of taxes associated with such earnings, which would increase our overall effective tax rate.
 
Share-based compensation
 
Prior to April 1, 2005, we accounted for share-based compensation using the intrinsic value method prescribed in Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related interpretations. Accordingly, compensation cost for stock options generally was measured as the excess, if any, of the estimated fair market value of our common stock over the amount an employee must pay to acquire the common stock on the date that both the exercise price and the number of shares to be acquired pursuant to the option are fixed. We had adopted the disclosure-only provisions of SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, or SFAS 123, and SFAS No. 148, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation—Transition and Disclosure, which was released in December 2002 as an


46


Table of Contents

amendment to SFAS 123 and used the Black-Scholes method of valuing stock options as allowed for non-public companies.
 
Effective April 1, 2005, we adopted SFAS No. 123R, Share-Based Payment, or SFAS 123R, using the modified prospective method, which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense for all share-based payment awards made to employees, certain non-employee consultants and directors based on estimated fair values. Accordingly, the statement of operations for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006 includes the expensing of the compensation cost related to newly granted stock option awards, as well as for those issued in prior years that vest after the adoption date. In connection with our adoption of SFAS 123R, we recorded share-based compensation expense for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006 related to share-based payments granted prior to April 1, 2005 and unvested as of that date of approximately $1.6 million, calculated in accordance with SFAS 123. Under SFAS 123R, we estimate the fair value of stock options and cash-settled stock appreciation rights, or SARs, granted using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model and a single option award approach. This fair value is then amortized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service periods of the awards, which is generally the vesting period. The fair value of cash-settled SARS are marked-to-market and recorded as a liability on a quarterly basis. This model also utilizes the estimated fair value of our common stock as determined by our board of directors taking into consideration a contemporaneous, independent third-party valuation and requires that, at the date of grant, we estimate the expected term of the share-based award, the expected volatility of the price of our common stock over the expected term, risk-free interest rates and expected dividend yield of our common stock to determine the estimated fair value. We determined the amount of share-based compensation expense for the fiscal year ended March 31 2006 and the nine months ended December 31, 2006, based on awards that we ultimately expected to vest, taking into account estimated forfeitures. SFAS 123R requires forfeitures to be estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates.
 
We believe there is a high degree of subjectivity involved when using option-pricing models to estimate share-based compensation under SFAS 123R. Option-pricing models were developed for use in estimating the value of traded options that have no vesting or hedging restrictions, are fully transferable and do not cause dilution. Because our share-based payments have characteristics different from those of freely traded options and because changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect our estimates of fair values (such as attrition), in our opinion, existing valuation models, including Black-Scholes, may not provide reliable measures of the fair values of our share-based compensation. Consequently, there is a risk that our estimates of the fair values of our share-based compensation awards on the grant dates may bear little resemblance to the actual values realized upon the exercise, expiration, early termination or forfeiture of those share-based payments in the future. Certain share-based payments, such as employee stock options, may expire worthless or otherwise result in zero intrinsic value as compared to the fair values originally estimated on the grant date and reported in our financial statements. Alternatively, value may be realized from these instruments that are significantly in excess of the fair values originally estimated on the grant date and reported in our financial statements. There is currently no market-based mechanism or other practical application to verify the reliability and accuracy of the estimates stemming from these valuation models, nor is there a means to compare and adjust the estimates to actual values. Although the fair value of employee share-based awards is determined in accordance with SFAS 123R using an option-pricing model, that value may not be indicative of the fair value observed in a market transaction between a willing buyer and willing seller. If factors

change and we employ different assumptions in the application of SFAS 123R in future periods than those currently applied under SFAS 123R and those previously applied under SFAS 123 in determining our pro forma amounts, the compensation expense that we record in the future under SFAS 123R may differ significantly from what we have reported during the nine months ended December 31, 2006 and what we have reported as our pro forma expense during the period prior to adoption of SFAS 123R.
 
In connection with our adoption of SFAS 123R and since April 2005, we have obtained contemporaneous valuation reports from an independent third-party valuation firm on the fair value of our common stock. With the exception of SAR grants made in August and November 2005, all stock options and SARs issued since then have been granted with exercise prices equal to or in excess of the fair value established by such contemporaneous valuation reports and which were determined by our board of directors to be at least equal to the fair value of our common stock. In August 2005, the board of directors granted 218,295 SARs with an exercise price of $0.50 per SAR. At that time, the board of directors had determined that the fair value of our common stock was $0.68 per share based upon a valuation of $0.71 per share established in a contemporaneous, independent valuation report and the board of director’s assessment of the uncertainties regarding our results of operations and financial condition for the then current quarter. In November 2005, the board of directors granted 52,024 SARs with an exercise price of $0.50 per SAR. At that time, the board of directors had determined that the fair value of our common stock was $0.76 per share as established by a contemporaneous, independent valuation report.
 
In the contemporaneous valuation reports utilized by the board of directors, our enterprise value was estimated based on the income approach, which was validated through comparison to the enterprise value estimated using the market approach. Using the resulting enterprise value, the fair value of our common stock was then estimated using the option-pricing method. We believe that we have used reasonable methodologies, approaches and assumptions consistent with the AICPA’s Practice Aid Valuation of Privately-Held Company Equity Securities Issued as Compensation to determine the fair value of our common stock.
 
Although it is reasonable to expect the completion of this offering will add value to the shares because they will have increased liquidity and marketability, the amount of additional value can be measured with neither precision nor certainty.
 
Long-lived assets
 
Our long-lived assets include property and equipment, long-term investments and capitalized software development costs. We evaluate the recoverability of our long-lived assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable. Such circumstances would include a significant decrease in the market price of a long-lived asset, a significant adverse change to the manner in which the asset is being used or its physical condition, or a history of operating or cash flow losses associated with the use of the asset. In addition, changes to the expected useful lives of these long-lived assets may also be an indicator of impairment. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to future undiscounted net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying value of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets and the resulting losses are included in the statement of operations.

Revenue
 
Revenue increased from $53.7 million in the nine months ended December 31, 2005 to $89.4 million in the nine months ended December 31, 2006, representing an increase of $35.6 million, or 66.3%. Of this increase, $30.3 million was attributable to increased billable time, $4.3 million was attributable to increased average billing rates for IT professionals and $1.0 million was attributable to increased reimbursable expenses. These increases were supported by strategic initiatives including hiring of key personnel and alignment with client markets. Our top five clients in the nine months ended December 31, 2005 and 2006 accounted for 41.4% and 48.7% of our revenue, respectively. Our top 10 clients in the nine months ended December 31, 2005 and 2006 accounted for 61.5% and 71.3% of our revenue, respectively. U.S. revenue increased 38.7% from $48.6 million in the nine months ended December 31, 2005 to $67.4 million in the nine months ended December 31, 2006. U.K. revenue increased 332.3% from $5.0 million in the nine months ended December 31, 2005 to $21.6 million in the nine months ended December 31, 2006, due to growth in revenue from one of our significant clients. We do not expect such high year-over-year U.K. percentage growth to continue in the future. The remaining $1.7 million increase in revenue is attributable to the strengthening of the U.K. pound sterling as compared to the U.S. dollar during the nine months ended December 31, 2006.
 
Costs of revenue
 
Costs of revenue increased from $31.0 million in the nine months ended December 31, 2005 to $48.6 million in the nine months ended December 31, 2006, an increase of $17.6 million, or 56.6%. A significant portion of the increase was attributable to an increase in the number of IT

Table of Contents

professionals to support revenue growth, from 1,907 as of December 31, 2005 to 3,169 as of December 31, 2006, resulting in additional costs of $14.6 million. We also incurred $2.1 million of additional costs related to subcontractors working on client engagements for the nine months ended December 31, 2006 as compared to the nine months ended December 31, 2005. Salary increases in India and Sri Lanka during the nine months ended December 31, 2006 added $0.4 million to our costs of revenue. Share-based compensation expense rose from $0.4 million in the nine months ended December 31, 2005 to $0.8 million in the nine months ended December 31, 2006. The increases were offset by the effects of a stronger U.S. dollar against the Indian rupee during the nine months ended December 31, 2006, decreasing our costs of revenue by approximately $0.3 million. We entered into foreign currency forward contracts which offset this currency exposure by $0.2 million.
 
Gross profit
 
Our gross profit increased from $22.7 million in the nine months ended December 31, 2005 to $40.8 million in the nine months ended December 31, 2006, an increase of $18.1 million, or 79.6%, due to increases in our revenue. Our gross margin increased from 42.3% in the nine months ended December 31, 2005 to 45.7% in the nine months ended December 31, 2006. The gross margin improvement resulted primarily from higher utilization of IT professionals in the United Kingdom, due in large part to our efforts to establish our U.K. delivery organization in prior periods in advance of anticipated revenue.
 
Operating expenses
 
Operating expenses increased from $23.8 million in the nine months ended December 31, 2005 to $30.6 million in the nine months ended December 31, 2006, an increase of $6.8 million, or 28.2%. Of the increase, $3.7 million was attributable to increased expenditures to support our growth, including marketing, branding and business development programs, recruiting and training of additional sales and administrative staff, and facilities expenses. In addition, we invested $2.1 million in professional services and travel expenses to establish a financial shared-services center in India to provide back-office transactional support to our Indian, U.K. and U.S. finance organizations and to formalize our internal control framework in anticipation of meeting the standards set forth by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. The increase was also attributable to increased compensation costs of $0.7 million resulting from salary increases and $0.3 million from share-based compensation expenses. Effects of foreign currency exchange rates were not material during the nine months ended December 31, 2006.
 
In the nine months ended December 31, 2005 and 2006, we invested in sales, marketing, IT infrastructure, human resource programs and financial operations. Our investments in our infrastructure, principally in staff and systems, provided us with higher economies of scale and supported our revenue growth. As a result, our operating expenses as a percentage of revenue decreased from 44.4% in the nine months ended December 31, 2005 to 34.3% in the nine months ended December 31, 2006.
 
Income (loss) from operations
 
Income (loss) from operations increased from a loss of $1.1 million in the nine months ended December 31, 2005 to income of $10.2 million in the nine months ended December 31, 2006, an increase of $11.3 million. This improvement resulted from higher gross profit and lower operating expenses as a percentage of revenue. As a percentage of revenue, income (loss) from

Table of Contents

operations increased from (2.1%) in the nine months ended December 31, 2005 to 11.4% in the nine months ended December 31, 2006.
 
Other income (expense)
 
Other income increased from $0.7 million in the nine months ended December 31, 2005 to $1.2 million in the nine months ended December 31, 2006. The increase is primarily attributable to an increase in interest income by $0.3 million in the nine months ended December 31, 2006 due to a higher average cash balance, partially offset by the absence of investment gains of $0.2 million in the nine months ended December 31, 2006. We realized a foreign currency transaction loss of $0.1 million on inter-company balances which were not effectively hedged by foreign currency forward contracts during the nine months ended December 31, 2005 as compared to a foreign currency transaction gain of $0.5 million during the nine months ended December 31, 2006.
 
Income tax expense (benefit)
 
We had income tax expense of $0.2 million in the nine months ended December 31, 2005 compared to an income tax benefit of $4.1 million in the nine months ended December 31, 2006. This decrease in tax expense is largely related to the recognition of a discrete income tax benefit of $5.0 million due to the reversal of most of our deferred tax asset valuation allowance in our statement of operations during the nine months ended December 31, 2006. This was partially offset by the provision of $0.9 million in taxes in the nine months ended December 31, 2006. Also reflected in the provision are higher U.S. federal and state income taxes due to higher U.S. profit levels. Our effective tax rate was 35.7% for the nine months ended December 31, 2005 as compared to an income tax benefit rate of 35.7% for the nine months ended December 31, 2006.
 
Net income (loss)
 
Net income (loss) increased from a net loss of $0.6 million in the nine months ended December 31, 2005 to net income of $15.5 million in the nine months ended December 31, 2006, an increase of $16.1 million. The increase in revenue, offset by comparatively smaller increases in all expense lines and the recognition of a discrete income tax benefit of $5.0 million due to the reversal of most of our deferred tax valuation allowance were the primary contributors to this positive growth in net income.

Revenue increased from $60.5 million in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2005 to $76.9 million in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006, representing an increase of $16.5 million, or 27.2%. Of this revenue growth, $16.0 million was attributable to an increase in billable time and $1.4 million was attributable to increased average billing rates for IT professionals, partially offset by a $0.9 million decrease of reimbursable expenses. The loss of a significant consulting engagement during the fourth quarter of the fiscal year ended March 31, 2005 along with delays in the anticipated start of new projects constrained our revenue growth during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006. Our top five clients accounted for $26.9 million and $32.8 million, or 44.5% and 42.6%, of total revenue for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2005 and 2006, respectively. Our top 10 clients accounted for $39.5 million and $47.6 million, or 65.3% and 61.8%, of total revenue for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2005 and 2006, respectively. U.K. revenue grew to $10.6 million in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006 from $1.9 million in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2005, an increase of over 450% due to growth in revenue from one of our significant clients. Increases in U.K. revenue were offset by $0.8 million as a result of the weakening of the U.K. pound sterling as compared to the U.S. dollar during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006.
 
Costs of revenue
 
Costs of revenue increased from $31.8 million in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2005 to $43.4 million in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006, an increase of $11.6 million, or 36.5%. As a percentage of revenue, costs of revenue increased from 52.6% to 56.4%. The number of our IT professionals grew from 1,976 as of March 31, 2005 to 2,113 as of March 31, 2006, resulting in additional costs of $6.6 million, while salary increases in India and Sri Lanka in 2006 added $0.9 million to our costs of revenue. We incurred $0.8 million of additional costs related to

subcontractors working on client engagements and we incurred share-based compensation expense of $0.5 million as a result of adopting SFAS 123R as of April 1, 2005. We also incurred additional costs of $2.6 million related to the deployment of onsite teams for our U.K.-based clients. Effects of a stronger U.S. dollar against the Indian rupee in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006 resulted in a decrease of approximately $0.2 million in our costs of revenue. We used foreign currency forward contracts which offset this currency exposure by $0.1 million.
 
Gross profit
 
Our gross profit increased from $28.7 million in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2005 to $33.5 million in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006, an increase of $4.8 million, or 16.9%, due to increases in our revenue. Our gross margin decreased from 47.4% in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2005 to 43.6% in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006.
 
The decrease in gross margin resulted from lower utilization of our IT professionals during the first half of the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006 resulting in part from the loss of a significant consulting engagement in the fourth quarter of the fiscal year ended March 31, 2005. As our revenue strengthened during the second, third and fourth quarters of the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006, our utilization rates improved. In addition, we experienced lower gross margins on U.K. revenue than those achieved historically in the United States due primarily to our efforts to build our U.K. delivery organization in advance of anticipated revenue.
 
Operating expenses
 
Operating expenses increased from $27.8 million in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2005 to $32.9 million in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006, an increase of $5.1 million, or 18.3%. Of the increase, $3.8 million was attributable to increased spending on marketing, branding and business development programs, facilities expenses, travel expenses and hiring of additional sales staff in an effort to acquire new clients with a focus to expand our U.K. business. In addition, we incurred share-based compensation expense of $1.3 million due to the adoption of SFAS 123R on April 1, 2005. Effects of foreign currency exchange rates were not material during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006.
 
Our operating expenses as a percentage of revenue decreased from 46.0% in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2005 to 42.8% in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006. The decrease resulted primarily from our investment in infrastructure, principally staff and systems, which provided us with higher economies of scale and supported our revenue growth.
 
Income from operations
 
Income from operations decreased from $0.8 million in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2005 to $0.6 million in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006, a decrease of $0.2 million. This decrease is due to lower gross margin in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006, resulting from a lower utilization rate in the first half of the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006 and an increase in operating expenses greater than the increase in gross profit. As a percentage of revenue, income from operations decreased from 1.4% in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2005 to 0.8% in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006.
 
Other income (expense)
 
Other income increased from $0.4 million in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2005 to $1.6 million in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in gain on sale of investments of $0.8 million and an increase in interest income of $0.4 million due to higher average cash balances.

Income tax expense (benefit)
 
Our income tax expense increased from $0.1 million in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2005 to $0.2 million in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006. Our effective tax rates were 8.2% and 8.1% for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2005 and 2006, respectively. Our income tax expense related primarily to U.S. income taxes and foreign income taxes of our foreign subsidiaries.
 
Net income
 
Net income increased from $1.1 million in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2005 to $2.0 million in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006, an increase of $0.9 million. As a percentage of revenue, net income increased from 1.8% in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2005 to 2.6% in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006. The growth in net income was primarily due to an increase in revenue offset by comparatively smaller increases in operating expenses.

Revenue
 
Revenue increased from $42.8 million in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2004 to $60.5 million in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2005, an increase of $17.7 million, or 41.2%. Of this revenue growth, $12.7 million was attributable to an increase in billable time, $3.9 million was attributable to increased average billing rates for IT professionals and $1.1 million was attributable to the increase in reimbursable expenses. Our U.K. subsidiary, which was incorporated in October 2004, contributed revenue of $1.9 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2005. Our top five clients accounted for $25.2 million and $26.9 million, or 58.9% and 44.5%, of total revenue for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2004 and 2005, respectively, while the top 10 clients accounted for $33.0 million and $39.5 million, or 77.1% and 65.3%, of total revenue for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2004 and 2005, respectively.

Costs of revenue
 
Costs of revenue increased from $22.6 million in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2004 to $31.8 million in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2005, an increase of $9.2 million, or 40.5%. As a percentage of revenue, costs of revenue decreased from 52.9% to 52.6%. A significant portion of the dollar increase was attributable to recruiting and hiring additional IT professionals to support revenue growth, from 1,557 as of March 31, 2004 to 1,976 as of March 31, 2005, resulting in additional costs of $10.2 million in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2005. We hired and relocated IT professionals to establish our U.K. delivery organization in anticipation of new business. We deployed a campus hiring philosophy and encouraged internal promotions to minimize the effects of wage inflation pressure and recruiting costs at our global delivery centers, resulting in a decrease in net average salary in India and Sri Lanka during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2005, which lowered our costs of revenue by $0.5 million. Effects of a stronger U.S. dollar against the Indian rupee and Sri Lankan rupee decreased our costs by approximately $0.6 million in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2005.
 
Gross profit
 
Our gross profit increased from $20.2 million in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2004 to $28.7 million in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2005, an increase of $8.5 million, or 42.1%, primarily due to higher revenue. Our gross margin increased slightly from 47.1% in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2004 to 47.4% in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2005. The increase in gross margin resulted primarily from a stronger U.S. dollar against the Indian rupee and Sri Lankan rupee in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2005, as well as a higher utilization rate of our IT professionals.
 
Operating expenses
 
Operating expenses increased from $20.3 million in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2004 to $27.8 million in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2005, an increase of $7.5 million, or 37.1%. Of the increase, $3.7 million was attributable to costs associated with the expansion of our business, including increases in compensation, travel, professional services, additional recruitment and training costs. In addition, the increase was attributable to additional facilities expense of $3.1 million to support our growth. The increase was also attributable to increased spending of $0.8 million to establish our U.K. business, including marketing, branding, business development programs, administrative salaries, travel, facilities, accounting and legal fees. Effects of a strengthening U.S. dollar against the Indian rupee and Sri Lankan rupee decreased our costs by approximately $0.4 million.
 
As a percentage of revenue, operating expenses decreased from 47.4% in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2004 to 46.0% in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2005. The decrease resulted from increased revenue, which was greater than the increase in operating expenses.
 
Income (loss) from operations
 
Income (loss) from operations increased from a loss of $0.1 million in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2004 to income of $0.8 million in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2005, an increase of $0.9 million. This improvement resulted from higher gross profit and lower operating expenses as a percentage of revenue. As a percentage of revenue, income (loss) from operations

increased from (0.3%) in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2004 to 1.4% in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2005.
 
Other income (expense)
 
Other income increased from $0.1 million in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2004 to $0.4 million in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2005. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in interest income of $0.2 million due to higher average cash balances and gains on sale of investment in equity of $0.1 million.
 
Income tax expense (benefit)
 
Our income tax expense was $0.1 million in each of the fiscal years ended March 31, 2004 and March 31, 2005. Our effective tax rate was 235.5% for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2004 compared to 8.2% for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2005. This decrease in our effective tax rate was primarily attributable to our higher profitability on a consolidated basis in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2005.
 
Net income (loss)
 
Net income (loss) increased from a net loss of $0.2 million in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2004 to net income of $1.1 million in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2005, an increase of $1.3 million. As a percentage of revenue, net income (loss) increased from (0.5%) in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2004 to 1.8% in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2005.

We experience some level of seasonality because many of our clients undergo their budget approval process during the first quarter of the calendar year, which corresponds to our fourth quarter ending March 31. This process may delay project approvals and could cause revenue to be deferred from our fourth fiscal quarter to our first fiscal quarter of the following year.
 
Our annual review and promotion cycle and the corresponding pay increases generally become effective as of April 1 at our global delivery centers. This factor generally results in an increase in our costs of revenue and has a negative effect on gross margin during our first fiscal quarter.
 
Liquidity and capital resources
 
We have financed our operations primarily from sales of shares of equity securities, including preferred and common stock and from cash from operations. We have not borrowed against our existing or preceding credit facilities.
 
At December 31, 2006, we had cash and cash equivalents of $32.2 million, of which $3.5 million was held outside the United States. We have a $3.0 million revolving line of credit with a bank. This facility provides a $1.5 million sub-limit for letters of credit. The revolving line of credit also includes a foreign exchange line of credit requiring 15% of foreign exchange contracts to be supported by our borrowing base which does not support any foreign currency contracts at December 31, 2006. Advances under our credit facility accrue interest at an annual rate equal to the prime rate minus 0.25%. Our credit facility is secured by the grant of a security interest in all of our U.S. assets in favor of the bank and contains financial and reporting covenants and limitations. We are currently in compliance with all covenants contained in our credit facility and believe that our credit facility provides sufficient flexibility so that we will remain in compliance with its terms. Our credit facility expires on September 30, 2007. We intend to renew this line prior to its expiration. As of December 31, 2006, we had no amounts outstanding under this credit facility.
 
The funds held at locations outside of the United States are for future operating expenses and we have no intention of repatriating those funds. We are not, however, restricted in repatriating those funds back to the United States, if necessary. If we decide to remit funds from India to the United States in the form of dividends, they would be subject to Indian dividend distribution tax, which is currently at a rate of approximately 14%, as well as U.S. corporate income tax on the dividends.
 
We believe that our available cash and cash equivalents, cash flows expected to be generated from operations and net proceeds from this offering will be adequate to satisfy our current and

57


Table of Contents

planned operations for the foreseeable future. Our ability to expand and grow our business in accordance with current plans and to meet our long-term capital requirements will depend on many factors, including the rate, if any, at which our cash flow increases, our continued intent not to repatriate earnings from India and Sri Lanka and the availability of public and private debt and equity financing. Although we currently have no specific plans to do so, to the extent we decide to pursue one or more significant strategic acquisitions, we may incur debt or sell additional equity to finance those acquisitions.
 
Anticipated capital expenditures
 
We are beginning the work to build a facility as part of a planned campus on a 6.3 acre site in Hyderabad, India. We expect to construct and build out this facility, which will be approximately 340,000 square feet, over the next three fiscal years at a total estimated cost of $30.0 million, of which we anticipate spending between $10.0 million and $12.0 million during the fiscal year ending March 31, 2008. We plan to fund the construction and build-out of this facility with a portion of the net proceeds of this offering. We expect other capital expenditures in the normal course for fiscal 2008 to be approximately $8.0 million, primarily for leasehold improvements, capital equipment and purchased software.

Net cash provided by (used for) operating activities
 
Net cash of $1.5 million was used for operations during the nine months ended December 31, 2005 as compared to net cash of $5.5 million provided by operations during the nine months ended December 31, 2006. This increase was directly attributable to our increased revenue in the nine months ended December 31, 2006 as compared to the nine months ended December 31, 2005, providing an increase in net income for the comparative period of $16.1 million. Cash provided from operations was partially offset by a $5.0 million increase in our net deferred tax asset during the nine months ended December 31, 2006. In addition, the


58


Table of Contents

increase in cash provided from operations during the nine months ended December 31, 2006 was offset by increases of $3.7 million in accounts receivable, primarily due to increased revenue and an increase in days sales outstanding due to longer standard payment terms in the United Kingdom and increases of $1.5 million in prepaid expenses and other current assets. There also were increases in non-cash charges for share-based compensation expense of $0.8 million.
 
Net cash of $0.3 million was used for operations during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2005 as compared to net cash of $1.9 million provided from operations during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006. This increase was directly attributable to our increased revenue during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006 as compared to the fiscal year ended March 31, 2005 providing an increase in net income for the comparative period of $0.9 million. In addition, cash provided from operations was improved from increases in accrued compensation and expenses of $3.5 million, deferred revenue of $0.8 million and income taxes payable of $0.4 million, partially offset by an increase in our accounts receivable balance of $4.2 million and gain on sale of equity of $0.8 million. There were increases in non-cash charges for share-based compensation expense of $1.5 million in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006, as compared to the fiscal year ended March 31, 2005.
 
Net cash of $2.6 million was provided by operations during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2004 as compared to net cash of $0.3 million used for operations during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2005. The decrease was primarily the net effect of a $1.3 million increase in net income for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2005 resulting from increased revenue during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2005, as compared to the fiscal year ended March 31, 2004, plus a $0.4 million increase in depreciation and amortization expense offset by a comparative increase in prepaid expenses and other current assets of $1.0 million, as well as decreases in accrued compensation and expenses of $2.8 million, deferred revenue of $0.1 million and income taxes payable of $0.5 million.
 
Net cash used for investing activities
 
Net cash used for investing activities was $0.5 million during the nine months ended December 31, 2005 as compared to $4.1 million during the nine months ended December 31, 2006. During the nine months ended December 31, 2006, we invested $3.7 million in facilities and equipment at our global delivery centers in India and Sri Lanka to support our revenue growth. We contained our facilities and equipment spending and made an effort to redeploy existing equipment during the nine months ended December 31, 2005 due to lower utilization at our global delivery centers in India and Sri Lanka, particularly during the first half of the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006.
 
Net cash used for investing activities was $3.1 million in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2005 as compared to $0.9 million in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006. Our efforts to contain facilities and equipment spending through redeployment of existing equipment led to a decrease in cash used during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006. During the fiscal years ended March 31, 2005 and 2006, we received cash from sales of equity investments of $0.4 million and $0.5 million, respectively.
 
Net cash used for investing activities was $4.0 million in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2004 as compared to $3.1 million in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2005. During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2005, we invested $3.2 million in facilities and equipment at our global delivery centers and $0.3 million in internally-developed software to support our revenue growth as

compared to $3.3 million and $0.6 million, respectively, in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2004. During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2005, we received cash from sales of equity investments of $0.4 million.
 
Net cash provided by (used for) financing activities
 
Net cash of $0.2 million was used for financing activities during the nine months ended December 31, 2005 as compared to net cash of $0.4 million provided by financing activities during the nine months ended December 31, 2006. The increase was due to cash received from the sale of common stock of $0.4 million and exercises of employee stock options of $0.1 million in the nine months ended December 31, 2006 and a reduction of capital lease payments of $0.2 million in the nine months ended December 31, 2006. This increase was partially offset by the increase in restricted cash of $0.1 million in the nine months ended December 31, 2006.
 
Net cash of $1.4 million was provided by financing activities during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2005 as compared to $0.7 million during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006. The decrease was primarily due to proceeds from the sale of common stock of $1.5 million in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2005 as compared to proceeds from sales of common stock of $0.8 million and exercises of employee stock options of $0.1 million in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006. Capital lease payments were $0.1 million and $0.2 million in the fiscal years ended March 31, 2005 and 2006, respectively.
 
Net cash of $19.1 million was provided by financing activities during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2004 as compared to $1.4 million during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2005. The decrease was primarily due to proceeds from the sale of preferred stock of $20.0 million in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2004 versus none in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2005; proceeds from the issuance of restricted stock of $0.1 million and exercises of employee stock options of $0.1 million in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2004 as compared to proceeds from the sale of common stock of $1.5 million in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2005. Capital lease payments were $0.2 million and $0.1 million in the fiscal years ended March 31, 2004 and 2005, respectively. Also, for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2004, we made principal payments of $0.3 million on notes payable and there was an increase in restricted cash of $0.6 million.

Off-balance sheet arrangements
 
We do not have any investments in special purpose entities or undisclosed borrowings or debt. We have cash-secured letters of credit totaling approximately $0.5 million at December 31, 2006.
 
We have entered into derivative foreign currency forward contracts with the objective of limiting our exposure to changes in the Indian rupee described below in “Qualitative and quantitative disclosures about market risk.” The changes in fair value of these derivative instruments of $12,000, $133,000 and $202,000 were taken into account in the statement of operations for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2005 and 2006 and the nine months ended December 31, 2006, respectively. We use quoted market prices from published sources or brokers to value these contracts.
 
Other than these foreign currency forward contracts, we have not entered into off-balance sheet transactions, arrangements or other relationships with unconsolidated entities or other persons that are likely to affect liquidity or the availability of or requirements for capital resources.
 
Reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures
 
In accordance with the requirements of Regulation G issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission, we are presenting the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure and reconciling the non-GAAP financial measure to the comparable GAAP measures.
 
We define “adjusted net income” as net income excluding the impact of the release of the deferred tax asset valuation allowance. We believe that the presentation of this non-GAAP financial measure provides useful information to investors because there was no release of the deferred tax asset valuation allowance in any prior period. Therefore, the presentation of this non-GAAP financial measure enhances investors’ ability to make period to period comparisons of our net income and earnings per share.

Recent accounting pronouncements
 
In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, issued SFAS No. 158, Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Post-Retirement Plans—an Amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106 and 132R. This standard requires recognition of the funded status of benefit plans in statements of financial position. The standard also requires recognition in other comprehensive income of certain gains and losses that arise during the period but are deferred under pension accounting rules; and it modifies the timing of reporting and adds certain disclosures. The recognition and disclosure elements of SFAS No. 158 are effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2006 and the measurement elements are effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2008. We are currently evaluating the effect that the adoption of SFAS No. 158 will have on our financial position or results of operations.
 
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements. SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and interim periods within those fiscal years. We are currently evaluating the impact that SFAS No. 157 will have on our financial position or results of operations.
 
In September 2006, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting Bulletin, or SAB, No. 108, Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements. This bulletin summarizes the Securities and Exchange Commission staff’s views regarding the process of quantifying financial statement misstatements. SAB No. 108 is effective for reporting periods ending after November 15, 2006. We do not expect SAB No. 108 to have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.

In June 2006, the FASB issued Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109, or FIN 48, which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in a company’s financial statements and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. FIN 48 also provides guidance on description, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. We are currently in the process of assessing the impact that FIN 48 will have on our financial position or results of operations.
 
In February 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 155, Accounting for Certain Hybrid Instruments, or SFAS No. 155, which is an amendment to SFAS No. 133 and SFAS No. 140 and allows financial instruments that have embedded derivatives to be accounted for as a whole (eliminating the need to bifurcate the derivative from its host) if the holder elects to account for the whole instrument on a fair value basis. SFAS No. 155 is effective for an entity’s first fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006. We do not expect SFAS No. 155 to have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.
 
Quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk
 
Exchange rate risk
 
We are exposed to foreign currency exchange rate risk in the ordinary course of doing business as we transact business in foreign currencies. We have historically entered into, and in the future we may enter into, foreign currency derivative contracts to provide an economic hedge of non-U.S. dollar currency exchange exposures. The purpose of this foreign exchange policy is to protect us from the risk that the eventual cash flows from Indian rupee denominated expenses might be adversely affected by changes in exchange rates. At March 31, 2005, December 31, 2005 and March 31, 2006, we had outstanding contracts of $7.6 million, $8.7 million and $10.5 million to offset the exposure of the Indian rupee. These contracts did not qualify for hedge accounting under SFAS 133: Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, or SFAS 133. We had no outstanding foreign currency derivative contracts at December 31, 2006.
 
We are in the process of evaluating our foreign exchange policy to address foreign exchange exposures on our balance sheet and operating cash flows from U.K. pounds sterling and Indian rupees. We are considering a program to mitigate the effect of the fluctuations of these currencies in relation to our reporting currency.
 
Sensitivity analysis is used as a primary tool in evaluating the effects of changes in foreign currency exchange rates, interest rates and commodity prices on our business operations. The analysis quantifies the impact of potential changes in these rates and prices on our earnings, cash flows and fair values of assets and liabilities during the forecast period, most commonly within a one-year period. The ranges of changes used for the purpose of this analysis reflect our view of changes that are reasonably possible over the forecast period. Fair values are the present value of projected future cash flows based on market rates and chosen prices.
 
Interest rate risk
 
We do not believe we are exposed to material direct risks associated with changes in interest rates. As of December 31, 2006, we had $32.2 million in cash and cash equivalents and short-


63

term investments, the interest income from which is affected by changes in short-term interest rates. We had no debt at December 31, 2006.
 
Concentration of credit risk
 
Financial instruments which potentially expose us to concentrations of credit risk primarily consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and unbilled accounts receivable. We place our temporary cash in liquid investments at highly-rated financial institutions. We believe that our credit policies reflect normal industry terms and business risk. We do not anticipate non-performance by the counterparties and, accordingly, do not require collateral. Credit losses and write-offs of accounts receivable balances have historically not been material to our financial statements and have not exceeded our expectations.

Business
 
Overview
 
We are a global information technology services company. We use an offshore delivery model to provide a broad range of IT services, including IT consulting, technology implementation and application outsourcing. Using our enhanced global delivery model, innovative platforming approach and industry expertise, we provide cost-effective services that enable our clients to use IT to enhance business performance, accelerate time-to-market, increase productivity and improve customer service. Headquartered in Massachusetts, we have offices in the United States and the United Kingdom and global delivery centers in Hyderabad and Chennai, India and Colombo, Sri Lanka. We have experienced compounded annual revenue growth of 47% over the four-year period ended March 31, 2006.
 
Our enhanced global delivery model leverages a highly-efficient onsite-to-offshore service delivery mix and proprietary tools and processes to manage and accelerate delivery, foster innovation and promote continual improvement. Our global service delivery teams work seamlessly at our client locations and at our global delivery centers in India and Sri Lanka to provide value-added services rapidly and cost-effectively. They do this by using our enhanced global delivery model, which we manage to a 20/80 onsite-to-offshore service delivery mix.
 
We apply our innovative platforming approach across all of our services. We help our clients combine common business processes and rules, technology frameworks and data into reusable application platforms that can be leveraged across the enterprise to build, enhance and maintain existing and future applications. Our platforming approach enables our clients to continually improve their software platforms and applications in response to changing business needs and evolving technologies while also realizing long-term and ongoing cost savings.
 
We provide our IT services primarily to enterprises engaged in the following industries: communications and technology; banking, financial services and insurance, or BFSI; and media and information. Our current clients include leading global enterprises such as Aetna Life Insurance Company, Bear, Stearns & Co. Inc., BT, Cisco Systems, Inc., ING North America Insurance Corporation, International Business Machines Corporation, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. and Thomson Healthcare Inc., and leading enterprise software developers such as Pegasystems Inc. and Vignette Corporation. We have a high level of repeat business among our clients. For instance, during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006, over 90% of our revenue came from clients to whom we had been providing services for at least one year and over 65% came from clients to whom we had been providing services for at least two years.
 
Industry background
 
The role of IT in enterprises has grown far beyond operational support to become a source of competitive advantage. Enterprises are using Internet-based IT applications to facilitate critical interactions with customers, vendors and partners to compete in a global, real-time environment. At the same time, enterprises are using IT applications and data to address regulatory changes, meet market demands and improve business efficiency. As a result, leading enterprises are using IT to accelerate time-to-market, increase productivity and improve customer service.

While enterprises expect IT to play a key role in driving business growth and productivity, they are under increasing pressure to control costs. According to an October 2006 Gartner report, annual IT budgets increased less than 3% for the fourth year in a row while a February 2007 Gartner press release forecasts an average growth rate of 3% for 2007. As a result, business and technology leaders are expected to address IT challenges of increasing scope and complexity with limited resources under rigorous time constraints.
 
Many enterprises increasingly manage their technology costs and shortage of locally-available IT professionals by outsourcing IT services offshore. According to a 2006 IDC report, 20.8% of U.S. IT services, including application management, custom application development, IT consulting, information systems outsourcing, systems integration and other related activities, will move to offshore players by 2010. Using a global delivery model, IT service providers employ skilled labor in lower-cost geographies in order to cost-effectively deliver high quality services to their clients. According to IDC, in 2005, the largest markets for these offshore IT services were concentrated in the United States and in Europe, the Middle East and Africa with market shares of 79.6% and 17.4%, respectively.
 
A 2005 NASSCOM-McKinsey report estimates that global offshore IT services adoption will increase at a compounded annual growth rate of 24.4% from $18.4 billion for the 12 months ended March 31, 2005 to $55.0 billion for the 12 months ending March 31, 2010. This exceeds the estimate in IDC’s 2007 Worldwide IT Spending 2006-2010 Forecast Update by Vertical Market of 5.8% compounded annual growth rate for the overall IT services industry from calendar year 2005 to calendar year 2010.
 
Engaging offshore IT service providers to improve business performance, beyond reducing costs, can be challenging. The rate of technological change, the impact of mergers and acquisitions and a historical approach to building and managing stand-alone, legacy IT systems and applications have led to fragmented IT environments. Enterprises often support multiple IT applications that vary in capabilities and cannot interoperate effectively, creating IT application silos. These fragmented IT environments are complex, inefficient and costly to maintain and operate. They limit an enterprise’s ability to leverage valuable corporate IT assets, including business processes and rules, technology frameworks and data. We believe enterprises seek service providers that can cost-effectively address this range of complex challenges.

Enhanced global delivery model. We believe we have an enhanced and integrated global delivery model. Our enhanced global delivery model leverages a highly-efficient onsite-to-offshore service delivery mix and proprietary tools and processes to manage and accelerate delivery, foster innovation and promote continual improvement. We manage to a 20/80 onsite-to-offshore service delivery mix, which allows us to provide value-added services rapidly and cost-effectively. During the past three fiscal years, we performed more than 80% of our total billable hours at our offshore global delivery centers. Our onsite client service teams comprise senior technical and industry experts, who work on an integrated basis with our offshore teams in India and Sri Lanka. We leverage our global delivery model across all of our service offerings.
 
Platforming approach. We apply an innovative platforming approach across our IT consulting, technology implementation and application outsourcing services to reduce costs, increase productivity and improve the efficiency and effectiveness of our clients’ IT application environments. As part of our platforming approach, we assess our clients’ application environments to identify common elements, such as business processes and rules, technology frameworks and data. We incorporate those common elements into one or more application platforms that can be leveraged across the enterprise to build, enhance and maintain existing and future applications. Our platforming approach enables our clients to continually improve their software platforms and applications in response to changing business needs and evolving technologies while also realizing long-term and ongoing cost savings.
 
We enable our clients to use IT to accelerate time-to-market, increase productivity and improve customer service. We are able to reduce costs through our enhanced global delivery model. We also reduce the effort and costs required to maintain and develop IT applications by streamlining and consolidating our clients’ applications on an ongoing basis. We believe that our solution provides our clients with the consultative and high-value services associated with large consulting and systems integration firms, the cost-effectiveness associated with offshore IT outsourcing firms and ongoing benefits of our innovative platforming approach.
 
Our growth strategy
 
Key elements of our growth strategy include:
 
Deepen and grow our client base. We seek to deepen and broaden our existing client relationships and grow our client base. Our global account management and service delivery teams focus on expanding existing client relationships and converting new engagements to long-term relationships. We intend to leverage our executive-level relationships and preferred vendor status with many of our clients to extend our service offerings across those enterprises. For example, in March 2007, BT entered into a five-year IT services agreement with us and also purchased, through a wholly-owned subsidiary, 2,875,869 shares of our common stock. We also have a dedicated business development team focused on generating engagements with new clients. Our software company clients provide an additional channel for establishing new client relationships. We plan to expand our domestic and international presence, either directly or through strategic alliances, to pursue new market opportunities.
 
Expand our service offerings. We seek to create new and innovative service offerings by analyzing emerging technologies and industry trends and changing client needs. Our industry solution teams work closely with our marketing group, industry and technology practice groups

and research and development teams to develop new, highly-differentiated services. We then test and refine these new services based on feedback from our clients, strategic alliances and industry analysts.
 
Deepen and expand our industry expertise. We seek to deepen our existing industry expertise and develop expertise in new vertically-oriented industries. Our experience in the communications and technology, BFSI and media and information services industries has enabled us to deliver increased value to our clients in these sectors. We also plan to extend our domain expertise to adjacent industries, where we can directly leverage existing in-house skills, experience and client relationships. We also may make acquisitions to deepen or expand our industry expertise.
 
Strengthen our brand. We seek to enhance our profile and brand equity to help us acquire new clients, enhance our existing client relationships and attract and retain talented team members. We believe our platforming approach to IT services positions us as a thought leader with clients and enables us to attract and retain talented team members. We promote our brand through a range of marketing and communications activities.
 
Develop new strategic alliances. We seek to strengthen our existing strategic alliances and build new ones. We intend to leverage our strategic alliances with software companies to win new clients, extend our services to existing clients and enter new geographic or industry markets. Some of these alliances are with software companies who are our clients. We believe these alliances provide us with an opportunity to access new markets and new clients. In addition, our strategic alliances with software companies allow us to share sales leads, develop joint account plans and engage in joint marketing activities. We believe that some of these alliances with software company clients enable us to compete more effectively for the technology implementation and support services required by our clients’ customers.
 
Services
 
We provide a broad range of IT consulting, technology implementation and application outsourcing services to our clients, either individually or as part of an end-to-end solution.
 
IT consulting services
 
We provide IT consulting services to assist our clients with their continually-changing IT environments. Our goal is to help them to continually improve the effectiveness and efficiency of their IT application environments by adopting and evolving towards re-useable software platforms. We help clients analyze business and/or technology problems and identify and design platform-based solutions. We also assist our clients in planning their IT initiatives and transition plans.

We believe that our consulting services are also differentiated in that we are typically able to leverage our global delivery model for our engagements. Our onsite teams work directly with our clients to understand and analyze the current-state problems and to design the conceptual solutions. Our offshore teams work seamlessly with our onsite teams to design and expand the conceptual solution, research alternatives, perform detailed analyses, develop prototypes and proofs-of-concept and produce detailed reports. We believe that this approach reduces cost, allows us to explore more alternatives in the same amount of time and improves the quality of our deliverables.

demonstration labs and other collaboration tools that enable us to work closely with our clients to understand and adapt to their changing business needs. As a result, we are able to develop and deploy applications quickly, often within solution delivery cycles of less than three months. We provide technology implementation services across Microsoft- and Java-based, client-server and mainframe technologies.
 
Application outsourcing services
 
We provide a broad set of application outsourcing services that enable us to provide comprehensive support for our clients’ software applications and platforms. We endeavor to continually improve the applications under our management and to evolve our clients’ IT applications into leverageable platforms.
 
Our application outsourcing services include the following application and platform management, infrastructure management and quality assurance management services:
 
             
Application and platform
    Infrastructure
    Quality assurance
management services     management services     management services
• production support
• maintenance and enhancement of custom-built and package-based applications
• ongoing software engineering services for software companies
   

• systems administration

• database administration
• monitoring
   

• outsourcing of quality assurance planning
• preparation of test cases, scripts and data
• execution of test cases, scripts and data
             
 
We believe that our application outsourcing services are differentiated because they are based on the principle of migrating installed applications to flexible platforms that can sustain further growth and business change. We do this by:
 
•  developing a roadmap for the evolution of applications into platforms
 
•  establishing an ongoing planning and governance process for managing change
 
•  analyzing applications for common patterns and service
 
•  identifying application components that can be extended or enhanced as core components
 
•  integrating new functions, features and technologies into the target architecture
 
Platforming approach
 
Our platforming approach is embodied in a set of proprietary processes, tools and frameworks that addresses the fundamental challenges confronting IT executives. These challenges include the rising costs of technology ownership and the need to accelerate time-to-market, improve service and enhance productivity. With IT spending increasing at a modest rate, business and technology executives face the challenge of doing more with limited budget increases.
 
Our platforming approach draws from analogs in industries that standardize on platforms composed of common components and assemblies used across multiple product lines. Similarly, we work with our clients to evolve their diverse software assets into unified, rationalized software platforms. Our platforming approach leads to simplified and standardized software


70


Table of Contents

components and assemblies that work together harmoniously and readily adapt to support new business applications. For example, a software platform for trading, once developed within an investment bank, can be the foundation for the bank’s diverse trading applications in equities, bonds and currencies. Our platforming approach stands in contrast to traditional enterprise application development projects, where different applications remain separate and isolated from each other, replicating business logic, technology frameworks and enterprise data.
 
At the center of our platforming approach is a five-level maturity framework, illustrated below, that allows us to adapt our service offerings to meet our clients’ unique needs. At lower levels of maturity, few assets are created and reused; consequently, agility, total cost of ownership and ability to quickly meet client needs are sub-optimal. As organizations mature along this continuum, substantial intellectual property is created and embodied in software platforms that enable steady gains in agility, reduce overall cost of ownership and accelerate time-to-market.

Level 1 represents traditional applications where every line of code is embedded and unique to the application and every application is monolithic. Level 2 applications are less monolithic and more flexible and demonstrate characteristics such as configurability and customizability. Level 3 are advanced applications where the common code components and software assets are

leveraged across multiple application families and product lines. Level 4 applications are framework-driven where the core business logic is reused with appropriate custom logic built around them. At the highest level of maturity are Level 5 applications, where platforms are greatly leveraged to simplify and accelerate application development and maintenance.
 
Our platforming approach improves software quality and IT productivity. Software assets within platforms are reused across applications, their robustness and quality improves with time and our clients are able to develop software with fewer defects. A library of ready-made building blocks significantly enhances productivity and reduces software development risks compared to traditional methods. This establishes a cycle of continual improvement: the more an enterprise embraces platform-based solutions, the better the quality of its applications and the less the effort required to build, enhance and maintain them.
 
Global delivery model
 
We have developed an enhanced global delivery model that allows us to provide innovative IT services to our clients in a flexible, cost-effective and timely manner. Our model leverages an efficient onsite-to-offshore service delivery mix and our proprietary Global Innovation Process, or GIP, to manage and accelerate delivery, foster innovation and promote continual improvement.
 
Efficient onsite-to-offshore service delivery mix
 
We manage to a highly-efficient 20/80 onsite-to-offshore service delivery mix, which allows us to cost-effectively deliver value-added services and rapidly respond to changes in resources and requirements. During the past three fiscal years, we performed more than 80% of our total billable hours at our offshore global delivery centers. Using our global delivery model, we generally maintain onsite teams at our clients’ locations and offshore teams at one or more of our global delivery centers. Our onsite teams are generally composed of program and project managers, industry experts and senior business and technical consultants. Our offshore teams are generally composed of project managers, technical architects, business analysts and technical consultants. These teams are typically linked together through common processes and collaboration tools and a communications infrastructure that features secure, redundant paths enabling seamless global collaboration. Our global delivery model enables us to provide around-the-clock, world-class execution capabilities that span multiple time zones.
 
Global Innovation Process
 
Our enhanced global delivery model is built around our proprietary Global Innovation Process. GIP is a software lifecycle methodology that combines our decade-long experience building platform-based solutions for global clients with leading industry standards such as Rational Unified Process, eXtreme Programming, Capability Maturity Model and Product Line Engineering. By leveraging GIP templates, tools and artifacts across diverse disciplines such as requirements management, architecture, design, construction, testing, application outsourcing and production support, each team member is able to take advantage of tried and tested software engineering and platforming best practices and extend these benefits to clients.
 
We have adapted and incorporated modern techniques designed to accelerate the speed of development into GIP, including rapid prototyping, agile development and eXtreme


72


Table of Contents

Programming. During the initial process-tailoring phase of an engagement, we work with the client to define the specific approach and tools that will be used for the engagement. This process-tailoring takes into consideration the client’s business objectives, technology environment and currently-established development approach. We believe our innovative approach to adapting proven techniques into a custom process has been an important differentiator. For example, a large high-tech manufacturer engaged us to use our process-tailoring approach to design a common, standards-based development process for use by its own product development teams.
 
The backbone of GIP is our global delivery operations infrastructure. This infrastructure combines enabling tools and specialized teams that assist our project teams with important enabling services such as workforce planning, knowledge management, integrated process and program management and operational reporting and analysis.
 
Innovation and continual improvement
 
Two important aspects of our global delivery model are innovation and continual improvement. A dedicated process group provides three important functions: they continually monitor, test and incorporate new approaches, techniques, tools and frameworks into GIP; they advise project teams, particularly during the process-tailoring phase; and they monitor and audit projects to ensure compliance. New and innovative ideas and approaches are broadly shared throughout the organization, selectively incorporated into GIP and deployed through training. Clients also contribute to innovation and improvement as their ideas and experiences are incorporated into our body of knowledge. We also seek regular informal and formal client feedback. Our global leadership and executive team regularly interact with client leadership and each client is typically given a formal feedback survey on a quarterly basis. Client feedback is qualitatively and quantitatively analyzed and forms an important component of our teams’ performance assessments and our continual improvement plans.
 
Sales and marketing
 
Our global sales, marketing and business development teams seek to develop strong relationships with managers and executives at prospective and existing clients to establish long-term business relationships that continue to grow in size and strategic value. As of December 31, 2006, we had 64 sales, marketing and business development professionals, including sales managers, sales representatives, account managers, telemarketers, sales support personnel and marketing professionals.
 
The sales cycle for our services often includes initiating contact with a prospective client, understanding the prospective client’s business challenges and opportunities, performing discovery or assessment activities, submitting proposals, providing client case studies and references and developing proofs-of-concept or solution prototypes. We organize our sales teams by business unit with professionals who have specialized industry knowledge. This industry focus enables our sales teams to better understand the prospective client’s business and technology needs and to offer appropriate industry-focused solutions.
 
Sales and sales support. Our sales and sales support teams focus primarily on identifying, targeting and building relationships with prospective clients. These teams are supported in their efforts by industry specialists, technology consultants and solution architects, who work


73


Table of Contents

together to design client-specific solution proposals. Our sales and sales support teams are based in offices throughout India, Sri Lanka, the United Kingdom and the United States.
 
Account management. We assign experienced account managers who build and regularly update detailed account development plans for each of our clients. These managers are responsible for developing strong working relationships across the client organization, working day-to-day with the client and our service delivery teams to understand and address the client’s needs. Our account managers work closely with our clients to develop a detailed understanding of their business objectives and technology environments. We use this knowledge to identify and target additional consulting engagements and other outsourcing opportunities.
 
Marketing. We maintain a marketing presence in India, Sri Lanka, the United Kingdom and the United States. Our marketing team seeks to build our brand awareness and generate target lists and sales leads through industry events, press releases, thought leadership publications, direct marketing campaigns and referrals from clients, strategic alliances and industry analysts. The marketing team maintains frequent contact with industry analysts and experts to understand market trends and dynamics.
 
Strategic alliances. We have strategic alliances with software companies, some of which are also our clients, to provide services to their customers. We believe these alliances differentiate us from our competition. Our extensive engineering, quality assurance and technology implementation and support services to software companies enable us to compete more effectively for the technology implementation and support services required by their customers. In addition, our strategic alliances with software companies allow us to share sales leads, develop joint account plans and engage in joint marketing activities.
 
Clients and industry expertise
 
We market and provide our services primarily to companies in North America and the United Kingdom. A majority of our revenue for fiscal year ended March 31, 2006 was generated from Forbes Global 2000 firms or their subsidiaries. We believe that our regular, direct interaction with senior executives at these clients, the breadth of our client relationships and our reputation within these clients as a thought leader differentiates us from our competitors. The strength of our relationships has resulted in significant recurring revenue from existing clients. In the 12 months ended December 31, 2006, 58% of our revenue came from clients who spent more than $5 million and 82% came from clients who spent more than $2 million.
 
We focus primarily on three industries: communications and technology, BFSI and media and information. We build expertise in these industries through our customer experience and industry alliances, by hiring industry specialists and by training our business analysts and other team members in industry-specific topics. Drawing on this expertise, we strive to develop industry-specific perspectives and services.
 
Communications and technology
 
For our communications clients, we focus on customer service, sales and billing functions and regulatory compliance and help them improve service levels, shorten time-to-market and modernize their IT environments. For our technology clients, which include hardware manufacturers and software companies, we provide a wide range of industry-specific service offerings, including product management services; product architecture, engineering and quality assurance services; and professional services to support product implementation and

We have worked with BT, one of the world’s leading providers of communications solutions and services, as a client since November 2004, providing IT consulting, implementation and outsourcing services. In March 2007, we entered into a five-year IT services agreement with BT that is premised upon BT making minimum aggregate expenditures over the term of the agreement of approximately $200 million. In the event that BT fails to meet any of the annual minimum expenditure targets, BT will lose any discounts under the agreement for the applicable annual period. In such event, BT is also obligated to pay an increasing percentage of any expenditure shortfall to us as liquidated damages. BT is entitled to increasing discounts for expenditures above the annual minimum expenditure targets. As part of this IT services agreement, we are now eligible to bid on work across all divisions within BT.
 
Banking, financial services and insurance, or BFSI
 
We provide services to clients in the retail, wholesale and investment banking areas; financial transaction processors; and insurance companies encompassing life, property-and-casualty and health insurance. For our BFSI clients, we have developed industry-specific services for each of these sectors, such as an account opening framework for banks, compliance services for financial institutions and customer self-service solutions for insurance companies. The need to rationalize and consolidate legacy applications is pervasive across these industries and we have tailored our platforming approach to address these challenges. Our BFSI clients include: Aetna Life Insurance Company, Bear, Stearns & Co.

We believe our platforming approach is ideally suited to these opportunities. Our media and information clients include: Aprimo Incorporated, eCollege.com, Iron Mountain Information Management, Inc., Skillsoft Corporation, Thomson Healthcare Inc., Publishing Technology plc and Vignette Corporation.

Competition
 
The IT services market in which we operate is highly competitive, rapidly evolving and subject to shifting client needs and expectations. This market includes a large number of participants from a variety of market segments, including:
 
•  offshore IT outsourcing firms, such as Cognizant Technology Solutions Corporation, HCL Technologies Ltd., Infosys Technologies Limited, Patni Computer Systems Limited, Satyam Computer Services Limited, Tata Consultancy Services Limited, Tech Mahindra Limited and Wipro Limited
 
•  consulting and systems integration firms, such as Accenture Ltd., BearingPoint, Inc., Cap Gemini S.A., Computer Sciences Corporation, Deloitte Consulting LLP, Electronic Data Systems Corporation, IBM Global Services Consulting and Sapient Corporation
 
We also occasionally compete with in-house IT departments, smaller vertically-focused IT service providers and local IT service providers based in the geographic areas where we compete. We expect additional competition from offshore IT outsourcing firms in emerging locations such as Eastern Europe, Latin America and China, as well as offshore IT service providers with facilities in less expensive geographies within India.
 
We believe that the principal competitive factors in our business include technical expertise and industry knowledge, a breadth of service offerings to provide one-stop solutions to clients, a well-developed recruiting, training and retention model, a responsiveness to clients’ business needs and quality of services. We believe that we compete favorably with respect to these factors. Many of our competitors, however, have significantly greater financial, technical and marketing resources and a greater number of IT professionals than we do. As a result, many of these companies may respond more quickly to changes in client requirements. We cannot assure you that we will continue to compete favorably or that we will be successful in the face of increasing competition.
 
Human resources
 
We seek to maintain a culture of innovation by aligning and empowering our team members at all levels of our organization. Our success depends upon our ability to attract, develop, motivate and retain highly-skilled and multi-dimensional team members. Our people management strategy is based on six key components: recruiting, performance management, training and development, employee engagement and communication, compensation and retention.
 
Recruiting. Our global recruiting and hiring process addresses our need for a large number of highly-skilled, talented team members. In all of our recruiting and hiring efforts, we employ a rigorous and efficient interview process. We also employ technical and psychometric tests for our IT professional recruiting efforts in India and Sri Lanka. These tests evaluate basic technical skills, problem-solving capabilities, attitude, leadership potential, desired career path and compatibility with our team-oriented, thought-leadership culture.
 
We recruit from leading technical schools in India and Sri Lanka through dedicated campus hiring programs. We maintain a visible position in these schools through a variety of specialized programs, including IT curriculum development, classroom teaching and award sponsorships. We also recruit and hire laterally from leading IT service companies and use employee referrals as a significant part of our recruitment process.

Performance management. We have a sophisticated performance assessment process that evaluates team members and enables us to tailor individual development programs. Through this process, we assess performance levels, along with each team member’s potential. We create and manage development plans, adjust compensation and promote team members based on these assessments.
 
Training and development. We devote significant resources to train and integrate all new hires into our global team. We conduct a training program for all lateral hires that teaches them our culture and value system. We provide a comprehensive training program for our campus hires that combines classroom training with on-the-job learning and mentoring. We also engage a leading e-learning company to provide world-class leadership development to all our managers. We strive to continually measure and improve the effectiveness of our training and development programs based on team member feedback.
 
Employee engagement and communication. We believe open communication is essential to our team-oriented culture. We maintain multiple communication forums, such as regular company-wide updates from senior management, complemented by team member sessions at the regional, local and account levels, as well as regular town hall sessions to provide team members a voice with management.
 
Compensation. We consistently benchmark our compensation and benefits with relevant market data and make adjustments based on market trends and individual performance. Our compensation philosophy rewards performance by linking both variable compensation and salary increases to performance.
 
Retention. To attract, retain and motivate our team members, we seek to provide an environment that rewards entrepreneurial initiative, thought leadership and performance. In the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007, we experienced team member attrition at a rate of 16.1%, which included involuntary attrition. We define attrition as the ratio of the number of team members who have left us during a defined period to the total number of team members that were on our payroll at the end of the period. Our human resources team, working with our business units, proactively manages team member attrition by addressing many factors that improve retention, including:
 
•  providing team members with opportunities to handle challenging technical and organizational problems and learn our platforming approach
 
•  providing team members with clear career paths, rotation opportunities across clients and domains and opportunities to advance rapidly
 
•  providing team members opportunities to interact with our clients and help shape their IT strategy and solutioning
 
•  creating a strong peer group work environment that pushes our team members to succeed
 
•  creating a climate where there is a free exchange of ideas cutting across organizational hierarchy
 
•  creating a family-oriented work environment that is fun and engaging
 
•  recognizing team performance through highly-visible team recognition awards
 
As of December 31, 2006, we had 3,382 team members worldwide.

Facilities
 
Our principal executive offices are located in Westborough, Massachusetts, where we lease approximately 30,000 square feet. We also have sales and business development offices located in Reading and Watford in the United Kingdom.
 
We have global delivery centers located in Hyderabad and Chennai, India and Colombo, Sri Lanka. We lease space at four facilities in Hyderabad, India, totaling approximately 167,000 square feet, and at two facilities in Chennai, India, totaling approximately 103,000 square feet. In Colombo, Sri Lanka, we lease space at five facilities totaling approximately 105,000 square feet. Our leases vary in duration and term, have varying renewable terms and have expiration dates extending from 2007 to 2011. In addition, in March 2007, we entered into a 99-year lease of approximately 6.3 acres of land in Hyderabad, India for the purpose of building a new campus.
 
We believe that our existing and planned facilities are adequate to support our existing operations and that, as needed, we will be able to obtain suitable additional facilities on commercially reasonable terms.
 
Network and infrastructure
 
Our global IT infrastructure is designed to provide uninterrupted service to our clients. We utilize a secure, high-performance communications network to enable our clients’ systems to connect seamlessly to each of our offshore global delivery centers. We provide flexibility for our clients to operate their engagements from any of our offshore global delivery centers by using mainstream network topologies, including site-to-site Virtual Private Networks, International Private Leased Circuits and MultiProtocol Label Switching. We also provide videoconferencing, voice conferencing and Voice over Internet Protocol, capabilities to our global delivery teams and clients to enable clear and uninterrupted communication in our engagements, be it intra-company or with our clients.
 
We monitor our network performance on a 24x7 basis to ensure high levels of network availability and periodically upgrade our network to enhance and optimize network efficiency across all operating locations. We use leased telecommunication lines to provide redundant data and voice communication with our clients’ facilities and among all of our facilities in Asia, the United States and the United Kingdom. We also maintain multiple sites across our global delivery centers in India and Sri Lanka as back-up centers to provide for continuity of infrastructure and resources in the case of natural disasters or other events that may cause a business interruption.
 
We have also implemented numerous security measures in our network to protect our and our clients’ data, including multiple layers of anti-virus solutions, network intrusion detection, host intrusions detection and information monitoring. We are ISO 27001 certified and believe that we meet all of our clients’ stringent security requirements for ongoing business with them.
 
Intellectual property
 
We believe that our continued success depends in part on the skills of our team members, the ability of our team members to continue to innovate and our intellectual property rights. We rely on a combination of copyright, trademark and design laws, trade secrets, confidentiality procedures and contractual provisions to protect our intellectual property rights and proprietary


79


Table of Contents

methodologies. It is our policy to enter into confidentiality agreements with our team members and consultants and we generally control access to and distribution of our proprietary information. These agreements generally provide that any confidential or proprietary information developed by us or on our behalf be kept confidential. We pursue the registration of certain of our trademarks and service marks in the United States and other countries. We have registered the mark “Virtusa” in the United States, the European Community and India and have filed for registration of “Virtusa” in Sri Lanka. We also have a registered service mark in the United States, “Productization,” which we use to describe our methodology and approach to delivery services. We have no issued patents.
 
Our business also involves the development of IT applications and other technology deliverables for our clients. Our clients usually own the intellectual property in the software applications we develop for them. We generally implement safeguards designed to protect our clients’ intellectual property in accordance with their needs and specifications. Our means of protecting our and our clients’ proprietary rights, however, may not be adequate. Despite our efforts, we may be unable to prevent or deter infringement or other unauthorized use of our and our clients’ intellectual property. Legal protections afford only limited protection for intellectual property rights and the laws of India and Sri Lanka do not protect intellectual property rights to the same extent as those in the United States and the United Kingdom. Time-consuming and expensive litigation may be necessary in the future to enforce these intellectual property rights.
 
In addition, we cannot assure you that our intellectual property or the intellectual property that we develop for our clients does not infringe the intellectual property rights of others, or will not in the future. If we become liable to third parties for infringing upon their intellectual property rights, we could be required to pay substantial damage awards and be forced to develop non-infringing technology, obtain licenses or cease delivery of the applications that contain the infringing technology.
 
Legal proceedings
 
We are not a party to any pending litigation or other legal proceedings that are likely to have a material adverse effect on our business, operations or financial condition.

Compensation
 
Compensation discussion and analysis
 
Overview
 
We believe that the compensation of our executive officers should focus executive behavior on the achievement of near-term corporate targets as well as long-term business objectives and strategies. We place significant emphasis on pay-for-performance compensation programs, which reward our executives when we achieve certain financial and business goals and create stockholder value. We use a combination of base salary, annual cash incentive compensation programs, a long-term equity incentive compensation program and a broad based benefits program to create a competitive compensation package for our executive management team. We describe below our compensation philosophy, policies and practices with respect to our chief executive officer, chief financial officer and our other executive officers, who are collectively referred to as our named executive officers.
 
Administration and objectives of our executive compensation program
 
Our compensation committee is responsible for establishing and administering our policies governing the compensation for our executive officers, including executive officer salaries, bonuses and equity incentive compensation. Until May 2006, our chief executive officer served on our compensation committee and played a significant role in the determination of base salary, signing or retention bonuses, variable compensation and other forms of cash and equity-based compensation to be paid to our executive officers (other than his own). We restructured our compensation committee in May 2006 to be composed entirely of independent directors.
 
Our compensation committee has designed our overall executive compensation program to achieve the following objectives:
 
•  attract and retain talented and experienced executives
 
•  motivate and reward executives whose knowledge, skills and performance are critical to our success
 
•  provide a competitive compensation package that aligns the interests of our executive officers and stockholders by including a significant variable component which is weighted heavily toward performance-based rewards, based upon achievement of certain measurable operating results such as revenue and operating profit margin
 
•  ensure fairness among the executive management team by recognizing the contributions each executive makes to our success
 
•  foster a shared commitment among executives by aligning the company’s and their individual goals
 
•  compensate our executives to manage our business to meet our near-term and long-term objectives
 
We use a mix of short-term compensation (base salaries and cash incentive bonuses) and long-term compensation (equity incentive compensation) to provide a total compensation structure that is designed to achieve these objectives. We determine the percentage mix of compensation


87


Table of Contents

structures that we think is appropriate for each of our executive officers. In general, the compensation committee believes that a substantial percentage of the compensation of our executive officers should be performance-based. The compensation committee uses its judgment and experience and the recommendations of the chief executive officer (except for his own compensation) to determine the appropriate mix of compensation for each individual. In addition, beginning in 2007, our compensation committee retained Hewitt Associates, a human resources consulting firm, to assist the committee in developing our overall executive and director compensation program.
 
In determining whether to adjust the compensation of any one of our executive officers, including our named executive officers, we annually take into account the changes, if any, in the following:
 
•  market compensation levels
 
•  the contributions made by each executive officer
 
•  the performance of each executive officer
 
•  the increases or decreases in responsibilities and roles of each executive officer
 
•  the business needs for each executive officer
 
•  the relevance of each executive officer’s experience to other potential employers
 
•  the readiness of each executive officer to assume a more significant role within the organization
 
In addition, with respect to new executive officers, we take into account their prior base salary and annual incentive awards, their expected contribution and our business needs. We believe that our executive officers should be fairly compensated each year relative to market pay levels within our industry and that there should also be internal equity among our executive officers.
 
Executive compensation components
 
Our executive compensation program is primarily composed of base salary, annual incentive cash compensation payable on a semi-annual and annual basis and equity compensation. In addition, we provide our executives with benefits that are generally available to our salaried employees, including medical, dental, vision, group life and accidental death and dismemberment insurance and our 401(k) plan. Prior to April 2007, we had employment agreements with Messrs. Canekeratne, Smith, Modder and Holler which set forth their respective salaries, bonuses and, in certain cases, stock option awards and severance and change in control provisions. These agreements were each terminated in their entirety in April 2007 upon the execution by our executive officers of the executive agreements discussed below in the section entitled “Potential payments upon termination or change in control.”
 
Within the context of the overall objectives of our compensation programs, we determined the specific amounts of compensation to be paid to each of our executives for our fiscal year ended March 31, 2007 based on a number of factors, including:
 
•  our understanding of the amount of compensation generally paid by similarly situated companies to their executives with similar roles and responsibilities


88


Table of Contents

•  the roles and responsibilities of our executives
 
•  the individual experience and skills of, and expected contributions from, our executives
 
•  the amounts of compensation being paid to our other executives
 
•  our executives’ historical compensation at our company
 
•  the provisions of applicable employment agreements
 
We discuss each of the primary elements of our executive compensation in detail below. While we have identified particular compensation objectives that each element of executive compensation serves, our compensation programs complement each other and collectively serve all of our executive compensation objectives described above. Accordingly, whether or not specifically mentioned below, we believe that, as a part of our overall executive compensation, each element to a greater or lesser extent serves each of our objectives.
 
Base salary.  Our compensation committee annually reviews salary ranges and individual salaries for our executive officers. We have historically established base salaries for each of our executives based on many factors, including competition in the marketplace to hire and retain executives, experiences of our directors and leadership team with respect to salaries and compensation of executives in similarly situated companies in the IT industry and other similar industries, as well as additional factors which we believe enables us to hire and retain our leadership team in an extremely competitive environment. In March 2007, we also engaged Hewitt Associates to assist the compensation committee in conducting formal peer review analysis and developing our overall executive compensation program and philosophy for fiscal year 2008. Our compensation committee annually reviews salary ranges and individual salaries for our executive officers.
 
For our fiscal year ended March 31, 2007, the compensation committee established annual base salaries for our chief executive officer, our president and chief operating officer, our chief financial officer, our managing director of Asian operations and our senior vice president and global head of human resources of $225,000, $250,000, $190,000, $132,000 and $110,000, respectively. Although we establish the annual base salary amounts in U.S. dollars for our managing director of Asian operations (based in Sri Lanka) and our senior vice president and global head of human resources (based in India), we pay these salaries in Sri Lankan and Indian rupees, respectively. Therefore the amounts we pay our Asia-based executives may vary slightly from the established base salary amount because of fluctuations in foreign exchange rates during the year.
 
The fiscal 2007 annual base salaries represent an average increase of approximately 5.5% over the 2006 fiscal year base salaries for the named executive officers. We believe that the base salaries paid to our executive officers during our fiscal year ended March 31, 2007 achieve our executive compensation objectives and are competitive with those of similarly-situated companies.
 
Variable incentive cash compensation award program.  We have designed our variable incentive cash compensation award program, or VCCP, to reward our executive officers upon the achievement of certain annual and semi-annual revenue and operating profit margin goals, as approved in advance by our compensation committee and board of directors. Our VCCP emphasizes pay-for-performance and is intended to closely align executive compensation with achievement of certain operating results and an increase in stockholder value. The


89


Table of Contents

compensation committee communicates the bonus criteria to the named executive officers at the beginning of the fiscal year. The performance goals and bonus criteria established by the compensation committee under the VCCP are designed to require significant effort and operational success on the part of our executives and the company. We measure such bonus criteria against actual operating results on both a semi-annual and annual basis.
 
For the semi-annual component of our VCCP, our compensation committee establishes a factor, typically below 50%, against which the annual targeted variable compensation amount is multiplied. If we achieve our revenue and operating profit margin targets for the first two quarters of our fiscal year, with visibility to support achievement of the overall annual performance criteria, we pay our executives their applicable semi-annual bonuses. For the annual variable component of our VCCP, we again measure our actual annual revenue and operating profit margin against the annual bonus criteria. If achieved, we pay our executives their applicable annual bonuses, taking into account the remaining weighted factor for annual bonuses, typically over 50%. For our fiscal year ended March 31, 2007, our compensation committee (with board of directors approval) set the semi-annual factor at 40% and the annual factor at 60%. We believe that the use of this weighting system allows us to compensate for interim performance, while placing a greater emphasis on the full-year results. In addition, for both the semi-annual and annual payouts, the VCCP provides for bonus adjustments of up to 110% and down to 75% of the target bonus payout, if, and to the extent, that our actual operating results are above the target bonus criteria or fall short of those criteria. Any semi-annual payouts are not subject to forfeiture or offset, regardless of whether the annual bonus criteria are achieved. All payouts under our VCCP, whether on a semi-annual or annual basis, are based on actual results of operations and must be approved by our compensation committee and board of directors.
 
Our VCCP represents a significant percentage of our executive officers’ base salaries and varies depending on the seniority and position of the executive officer, thus aligning our executives’ compensation to our performance and creation of stockholder value. For our fiscal year ended March 31, 2007, the target bonuses under our VCCP for each of our named executive officers, as a percentage of base salary, were 77.8%, 80.0%, 31.6%, 32.6% and 18.2% for our chief executive officer, president and chief operating officer, chief financial officer, managing director of Asian operations and senior vice president and global head of human resources, respectively.

Table of Contents

 
The target bonuses and bonus criteria for our fiscal year ended March 31, 2007 may not be indicative of the targets established for future years as our revenue growth and operating profit margin goals are likely to be adjusted as we grow and our mix of compensation elements may vary after we become a public company.
 
Equity compensation.  We also use stock options and equity-based incentive programs to attract, retain, motivate and reward our executive officers. Through our equity-based grants, we seek to align the interests of our executive officers with our stockholders, reward and motivate both near-term and long-term executive performance and provide an incentive for retention. Our decisions regarding the amount and type of equity incentive compensation and relative weighting of these awards within total executive compensation have been based on our understanding of market practices of similarly-situated companies and our negotiations with our executives in connection with their initial employment or promotion.
 
To date, all grants of equity-based awards to our executive officers have been subject to approval first by the compensation committee and then by the board of directors at regularly scheduled meetings during the year. The date of grant and the fair market value of the award are based upon the date of the board meeting approving such grant. A number of factors are considered in determining the amount of equity incentive awards, if any, to grant to our executives, including:
 
•  the number of shares subject to, and exercise prices of, outstanding options, both vested and unvested, held by our executives
 
•  the vesting schedule of the unvested stock options held by our executives
 
•  the amount and percentage of our total equity on a diluted basis held by our executives
 
Equity compensation awards to our named executive officers primarily consists of stock option awards. Stock option awards provide our executive officers with the right to purchase shares of our common stock at a fixed exercise price typically for a period of up to 10 years, subject to continued employment with our company. Stock options are earned on the basis of continued service to us and generally vest over four years, beginning with 25% vesting one year after the date of grant, then pro-rata vesting quarterly thereafter.
 
In addition to stock option grants, our board of directors, upon approval and recommendation of our compensation committee, has also granted certain named executives immediately exercisable stock options which provide that the underlying shares of common stock will be subject to repurchase by us at the exercise price upon any termination event. The vesting of the shares underlying these option grants to our executive officers is the same as the vesting for stock option awards generally. Our compensation committee instituted this practice to facilitate the long-term tax planning of the executives involved.
 
Except as described below, all historical option grants were made at what our board of directors determined to be the fair market value of our shares of our common stock on the respective grant dates. In determining the fair market value, our board of directors used all available evidence at the time and also relied on the analysis and opinion of an independent third-party valuation firm, from whom we received quarterly valuation reports. In May 2003, we granted an option to purchase 122,206 shares of our common stock to Mr. Modder, one of our named executive officers located in Sri Lanka, at an exercise price of $0.10 per share, which was below the fair market value of the common stock at the date of grant. Additionally, in November 2005, our board of directors approved the repricing of Mr. Smith’s stock option award for


91


Table of Contents

2,500,000 shares from the original $2.20 per share price to $0.76 per share, the fair market value of our common stock at that time. We recognize stock-based compensation expense under SFAS 123R using the fair-value based method for all awards granted on or after the date of our adoption and these values have since been reflected in our consolidated financial statements.
 
On August 7, 2006, our board of directors granted a stock option to each of Messrs. Holler and Modder for the purchase of 75,000 shares of our common stock. On that same date, our board of directors granted Mr. Hari a stock option to purchase 220,000 shares of our common stock in connection with his hiring. We granted all of these stock options at an exercise price of $1.34 per share, the fair market value on the date of grant, as determined by our board of directors based upon a contemporaneous valuation from a third-party valuation firm.
 
In April 2007, we adopted an equity award grant policy for 2007, effective as of the date of this prospectus, that formalizes how we grant equity awards by setting a regular schedule for grants, outlining grant approval requirements and specifying how awards are priced. Our equity award grant policy provides that grants of equity awards generally be made on an annual basis. The policy requires that all grants of equity awards be approved in advance by our compensation committee and granted on the third trading day after the next public release of financial results following such approval. All awards will be priced based on the closing sale price of our common stock on the NASDAQ Global Market on the date of grant.
 
Other benefits
 
We believe that establishing competitive benefit packages for our employees is an important factor in attracting and retaining highly qualified personnel. Executive officers are eligible to participate in all of our employee benefit plans, such as medical, dental, vision, group life and accidental death and dismemberment insurance and our 401(k) plan, in each case on the same basis as other employees. We do not currently provide a matching contribution under our 401(k) plan. Moreover, with the exception of plans mandated by the governments of India and Sri Lanka, we do not offer retirement benefits. Consistent with our compensation philosophy, we intend to continue to maintain our current benefits and perquisites for our executive officers. The compensation committee in its discretion may revise, amend or add to the officer’s executive benefits and perquisites if it deems it advisable. From time to time historically, our company has made loans to certain members of our management team to assist them in the exercise of stock options and long-term tax planning, although we no longer engage in such practice. In May 2002, pursuant to a promissory note, we loaned Mr. Holler, our chief financial officer, $42,208 so that he could purchase 86,140 shares of our common stock pursuant to a restricted stock agreement and pledge agreement where he used the shares as collateral. The note was due in May 2008 and carried interest at 7.0% per year, compounded annually. In February 2007, Mr. Holler paid in full the principal and accrued interest on the note. In addition, in December 2000, in connection with the hiring of Mr. Modder, our executive vice president and managing director, Asian operations, we also issued Mr. Modder a loan for 2,935,000 Sri Lankan rupees (or approximately $29,000). This loan was interest free and due and payable upon an initial public offering where the fair market value of our shares of common stock reaches $20 per share. In March 2007, Mr. Modder paid off the principal amount of the loan in full. In our fiscal year ended March 31, 2007, the only perquisites we provided to any of our named executive officers other than those normally provided to all salaried employees were those made available to Mr. Modder, who resides in Sri Lanka. In addition to the value of the interest on the $29,000 interest-free loan referenced above, we provided Mr. Modder with full company-paid family life insurance, golf and athletic club memberships and the use of


92

company-owned automobiles. Other than the non-interest bearing loan, the perquisites are considered normal and similar to those customarily provided to other Sri Lankan-based executives.
 
Severance and change in control benefits
 
In March 2007, our compensation committee engaged Hewitt Associates to provide advice, as well as a peer group analysis, in connection with the provision of severance and change in control benefits to our executive officers. Our peer group consisted of 13 companies that are publicly held, have between $200 million and $800 million in annual revenues, are engaged principally in the IT services or IT consulting industries focused on services or technology and are based or headquartered in the United States. These companies included Analysts International Corporation, Answerthink, Inc., Computer Task Group, Inc., Covansys Corporation, iGate Corporation, Infocrossing, Inc., Intelligroup, Inc., Kanbay International Inc., Patni Computer Systems, Inc., Sapient Corporation, Syntel Inc., TechTeam Global Inc. and WNS (Holdings) Limited. The compensation committee reviewed terms of severance programs and arrangements maintained by these peer companies, such as coverage (who amongst the executive officers are covered), benefit triggers (i.e., terminating events, like termination without cause, or resignation for “good reason” both prior to and after a change in control), coverage period (how long after a change in control would the benefits trigger or severance benefits be applicable), cash severance, continuation of health care benefits post termination and acceleration of vesting. Our goal in adopting severance and change in controls benefits was to offer competitive benefits to attract and retain our executive officers. See “— Potential payments upon termination of change in control” for a discussion of the severance and change in control benefits adopted by our compensation committee.

(1) All stock options were granted at the fair market value on the date of grant under our 2000 Stock Option Plan, except for Mr. Smith’s options, which were granted outside of the 2000 Stock Option Plan. We account for stock option-based compensation under the provisions of SFAS 123R. The value reported above for each named executive officer is the amount of SFAS 123R compensation expense expected to be recognized for financial statement reporting purposes for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007, assuming no option award forfeitures. Our consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007 have not yet been audited. The consolidated financial statements for our fiscal year ended March 31, 2007 are expected to be prepared in May 2007. For a discussion of the assumptions used for SFAS 123R valuations and compensation expense for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006 and nine months ended December 31, 2006, see Note 3 to our notes to consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this prospectus.
 
(2) The non-equity incentive plan compensation amounts are the semi-annual payouts under our VCCP award program approved by our compensation committee and the board of directors, based upon the 40% weighed factor for semi-annual payouts. The final payout amounts will be determined by May 2007 in connection with the audit of our consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007.
 
(3) In November 2005, our board of directors approved the repricing of Mr. Smith’s stock option award from the original $2.20 per share price to $0.76 per share, the fair market value of our common stock at that time. The cumulative amount of additional compensation to be recognized due to this option repricing over the remaining service period is $501,546, of which $181,145 is included in the table above. In connection with this repricing, we amended Mr. Smith’s eligible performance-based bonus to reduce the target of $250,000 per year to $150,000 in fiscal year ended March 31, 2006 and $200,000 in each of the fiscal years ending March 31, 2007 and 2008.

Discussion of summary compensation and grants of plan-based awards tables
 
Our executive compensation policies and practices, pursuant to which the compensation set forth in the summary compensation table and the 2007 grants of plan-based awards table was paid or awarded, are described above under ”Compensation discussion and analysis.” A summary of certain material terms of our compensation plans and arrangements is set forth below.
 
Amended and restated 2000 stock option plan
 
Our 2000 Stock Option Plan, or the 2000 Option Plan, was approved on May 5, 2000 and was subsequently amended and restated on April 17, 2002. An aggregate of 10,270,000 shares of common stock has been authorized for issuance under the 2000 Option Plan. As of March 31, 2007, incentive stock options and non-qualified stock options to purchase an aggregate of 609,763 and 6,722,569 shares of our common stock, respectively, were outstanding under the 2000 Option Plan. As of March 31, 2007, options to purchase 1,307,373 shares of our common stock remained available for future grant under the terms of the 2000 Option Plan. In the event that any option outstanding under the 2000 Option Plan terminates without being exercised, the number of shares underlying such option becomes available for grant under the 2000 Option Plan. Options granted under this plan generally expire 10 years after the date of grant.
 
Our compensation committee administers the 2000 Option Plan. The compensation committee may select award recipients, determine the size, types and terms of awards, interpret the plan and prescribe, amend and rescind rules and make all other determinations necessary or desirable for the administration of the 2000 Option Plan. Our current practice is to have the full board of directors approve any recommendations for awards and plan changes.

Table of Contents

 
The per share exercise price of the incentive stock options awarded under the 2000 Option Plan must be at least equal to the fair market value of a share of our common stock on the date of grant. The per share exercise price of non-statutory stock options or stock awards awarded under the 2000 Option Plan must be equal to the fair market value of a share of our common stock on the date of grant, or such other price that the compensation committee may determine is appropriate. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an option is granted to an individual who owns or is deemed to own more than 10% of the combined voting power of all classes of our stock, the exercise price can be no less than 110% of the fair market value of a share of our common stock on the date of grant.
 
Options may be exercised only to the extent that they have vested. To exercise an option, an option holder must deliver an exercise notice to us and pay us the aggregate exercise price. In the event of the termination of an option holder’s service relationship with us, all portions of the option holder’s award that remain unvested shall immediately expire and be null and void. If the option holder is terminated with cause, his or her options shall immediately terminate and shall not be exercisable. Otherwise, upon the termination of the option holder for other than cause, options may be exercised for a period of three months following such termination, except in the case of death or disability, in which case the option holder (or the option holder’s estate, or any other person who acquires the stock option by reason of the option holder’s death), may exercise the stock option within a period of 12 months after such death or disability.
 
Under our stock option agreements, for each option grant issued and outstanding, 25% of the total number of shares which are not vested and exercisable as of the date of an acquisition under such option grant immediately become vested and exercisable. For purposes of our option agreements, an acquisition includes any of the following:
 
•  a merger, reorganization or consolidation between us and another entity (other than a holding company or parent or subsidiary of us) as a result of which the holders of our outstanding voting stock immediately prior to the transaction hold less than a majority of the outstanding voting stock of the surviving entity immediately after the transaction
 
•  the sale, transfer, or other disposition of all or substantially all of our assets to one or more persons (other than any wholly-owned subsidiary) in a single transaction or series of related transactions
 
•  the direct or indirect sale or exchange in a single or series of related transactions by our stockholders of more than 50% of our common stock to an unrelated person or entity as a result of which the holders of our outstanding voting stock immediately prior to the transaction hold less than a majority of the surviving entity immediately after the transaction
 
Options granted under the 2000 Option Plan are not generally transferable or assignable by the option holder, other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution.
 
Stock appreciation rights plan
 
In July 2005, we adopted the Virtusa Corporation 2005 Stock Appreciation Rights Plan, or the SAR Plan. Under the SAR Plan, we are authorized to grant up to an aggregate of 1,500,000 stock appreciation rights, or SARs, to our employees and consultants. As of March 31, 2007, 614,235 SARs were outstanding and 885,765 remained available for grant. The SAR Plan is administered by our compensation committee, which may select award recipients, determine


96


Table of Contents

the size, types and terms of awards, interpret the plan and prescribe, amend and rescind rules and make all other determinations necessary or desirable for the administration of our SAR Plan. Our SARs expire no later than 10 years from the date of grant.
 
SARs may be exercised only to the extent that they have vested and, upon exercise, entitle the holder to the increase in value of our common stock on the date of exercise over the exercise price of the SARs. If an employee ceases to be an employee for any reason other than death or disability, all unvested SARs will terminate and be forfeited. At any time prior to the closing of an initial public offering of our common stock, the SAR Plan restricts the exercise of the SARs by any employee or consultant holding SARs, except during the 90-day period after the employee or consultant’s service relationship with us is terminated. Prior to an initial public offering, we may settle SARs only in cash. After an initial public offering, we may settle SARs only in shares of our common stock. Upon the closing of our initial public offering, each vested SAR is exercisable thereafter at any time for an amount equal to the product of the fair market value of a share of our common stock on the date of exercise, less the exercise price per SAR, multiplied by the number of SARs exercised. This amount, when divided by the fair market value of the shares of our common stock, provides the number of shares of common stock which are issuable upon exercise of the SARs following the closing of an initial public offering.
 
Under our SAR Plan, SARs that were granted prior to August 4, 2005 are subject to accelerated vesting provisions upon the occurrence of a “Sales Event.” A Sales Event is defined as any of the following:
 
•  a merger, reorganization or consolidation between us and another entity (other than a holding company or parent or subsidiary of us) as a result of which the holders of our outstanding voting stock immediately prior to the transaction hold less than a majority of the outstanding voting stock of the surviving entity immediately after the transaction
 
•  the sale, transfer, or other disposition of all or substantially all of our assets to one or more persons (other than any wholly-owned subsidiary) in a single transaction or series of related transactions
 
•  the direct or indirect sale or exchange in a single or series of related transactions by the stockholders of us of more than 50% of all of our common stock to an unrelated person or entity as a result of which the holders of our outstanding voting stock immediately prior to the transaction hold less than a majority of the surviving entity immediately after the transaction
 
SARs granted under our SAR Plan are not generally transferable or assignable by the SAR holder, other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution.
 
401(k) plan
 
We maintain a 401(k) retirement savings plan. All of our employees, other than non-resident alien employees with no income from U.S. sources or employees who are covered by a collective bargaining agreement that does not require admission to the plan, are eligible to participate in the plan on the first day of the calendar month after commencing employment with us. An eligible employee may elect to make pretax salary deferral contributions from one percent to 75% of the employee’s total annual compensation to the plan. Each calendar year, a participant’s pretax contributions cannot exceed the maximum dollar amount permitted under


97


Table of Contents

the Internal Revenue Code, which was $15,000 for participants under 50 years of age and $20,000 for participants 50 years of age or older in calendar year 2006.
 
We may make matching contributions on behalf of each participant who makes pretax salary deferral contributions. We determine on a yearly basis whether such contributions will be made and the amount of such contributions. Each year, we may also make a discretionary profit-sharing contribution to the plan on behalf of participants who are employed on the last day of the year. A participant whose employment terminates during a year because of death, disability or retirement after age 65 will also be eligible to receive any profit sharing contributions that we make for that year. Discretionary profit-sharing contributions, if any, are pro rata, based on the compensation of an individual participant in relation to the compensation of all the other participants.
 
All contributions to the plan are allocated to each participant’s individual account and are, at the participant’s election, invested in one, all, or some combination of a number of investment funds. When a participant reaches the normal retirement age (regardless of whether currently employed) or becomes disabled, the participant will be able to receive the vested balance of the participant’s account in a lump sum, in substantially equal monthly, quarterly, semiannual or annual installments, or by electing partial withdrawals of any portion of the participant’s account. A participant may withdraw all or a portion of the participant’s individual elective contributions after attaining the age of 591/2 or at any time on account of financial hardship. Participants can also borrow money from the plan based on the value of their vested individual account balances.

Pension benefits
 
Our subsidiaries, Virtusa (India) Private Limited and Virtusa (Sri Lanka) Private Limited, each contribute to a defined benefit plan covering their respective employees in India and Sri Lanka as mandated by the Indian and Sri Lankan governments. Benefits are based on the employee’s years of service and compensation level. Except for Messrs. Modder and Hari, none of our other named executive officers is covered by a pension plan or other similar benefit plan that provides for payments or other benefits at, following, or in connection with retirement. Under the terms of the Virtusa (India) Private Limited Employees Gratuity Scheme, Mr. Hari will not have any vested benefits under the plan until after five years of continuous service.
 
The following table summarizes the defined benefit plan of our subsidiaries as applied to Messrs. Modder and Hari for our fiscal year ended March 31, 2007.

Nonqualified deferred compensation
 
None of our named executive officers is covered by a defined contribution or other plan that provides for the deferral of compensation on a basis that is not tax-qualified.
 
Potential payments upon termination or change in control
 
In April 2007, we entered into executive agreements with each of our executive officers that provide for certain severance and change in control payments. The following summaries set forth potential payments payable to our executive officers upon termination of employment or a change in control of us under these new executive agreements and our other compensation programs. The compensation committee may in its discretion revise, amend or add to the benefits if it deems advisable.
 
Termination by us other than for cause, or termination by executive for good reason, prior to a change in control.  Our executive agreements provide that if we terminate such executive’s employment other than for cause, or if such executive terminates his employment for good reason, which is generally defined to include geographic movement or a substantial reduction in responsibilities, base salary or targeted cash compensation, the executive is entitled to a lump-sum severance payment (less applicable withholding taxes) equal to:
 
•  100% of Messrs. Canekeratne’s and Smith’s annual base salary and 50% of the annual base salary of each other executive officer
 
•  a prorated share of the annual bonus, if any, which the executive officer would have earned in the year in which the termination of employment occurs
 
In addition, upon any such termination, Messrs. Canekeratne and Smith are entitled to continued health benefits for 12 months and each other executive officer is entitled to six months of continued health benefits. All equity awards granted to Mr. Smith will have their vesting accelerated by 12 months upon a termination of Mr. Smith’s employment other than for cause, or if Mr. Smith terminates his employment for good reason. The foregoing benefits are subject to the execution of a general release by the executive officer.
 
Termination by us for cause or by executive for other than good reason; death or disability.  Regardless of any change in control, we are not obligated to make any cash payment or benefit to our executive officers if their employment is terminated by us for cause or by the executive without good reason other than the payment of unpaid salary and accrued and unused vacation pay. We do not provide any death or disability benefits for any of our executive officers that are not also available to our employees generally.
 
Termination by us other than for cause or termination by executive for good reason following a change in control.  Our executive agreements with each of our executive officers provide that, in the event of a termination of employment other than for cause, or if such executive terminates his employment for good reason, within 24 months following a change in control in


101


Table of Contents

the case of Messrs. Canekeratne and Smith and 12 months following a change in control in the case of each other executive officer, the executive is entitled to a lump-sum severance payment (less applicable withholding taxes) equal to:
 
•  200% of Messrs. Canekeratne’s and Smith’s annual base salary and 50% of the annual base salary of each other executive officer
 
•  200% in the case of Messrs. Canekeratne and Smith, and 100% in the case of each other executive officer of the prorated share of the annual bonus, if any, which the executive officer would have earned in the year in which the termination of employment occurs
 
In addition, upon any such termination, Messrs. Canekeratne and Smith are entitled to continued health benefits for 24 months and each other executive officer is entitled to six months of continued health benefits. All unvested equity awards held by each such executive officer also become fully-vested and immediately exercisable. The foregoing benefits are subject to the execution of a general release by the executive officer.
 
Automatic acceleration of vesting upon a change in control.  The terms of our executive agreements with our executive officers provide that the equity awards held by each of our executive officers will have their vesting accelerated by 12 months upon any change in control, regardless of whether there is a subsequent termination of employment.
 
In addition, our 2000 Option Plan provides that 25% of the total number of shares that are not vested and exercisable as of a date of a change of control become vested and exercisable.

In April 2007, upon recommendation of the compensation committee, our board of directors approved a non-employee director compensation policy that provides for annual compensation of $80,000, of which we will make an annual stock option grant to each non-employee director with an economic value of $48,000 (based on a Black-Scholes valuation on the date of grant) and an annual retainer fee of $32,000. In addition, the chairmen of our audit, compensation and nominating and corporate governance committees will receive an annual fee of $18,000, $11,000 and $7,000, respectively. All cash payments will be on a quarterly basis.
 
In addition, we will make a one-time, initial grant of options to purchase up to 20,000 shares of our common stock to any new non-employee director who joins the board of directors.
 
Each stock option award granted to a non-employee director under the non-employee director compensation policy will be made at the board of directors’ meeting immediately following our annual meeting, and will have a four-year vesting period, with 25% vesting after one year and with the remaining shares vesting in equal installments each three-month period thereafter. The vesting of all of the options granted to our non-employee directors will also accelerate by 12 months in the event of a change in control.
 
We reimburse all non-employee directors for their reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in attending meetings of our board of directors or any committees thereof.
 
The following table sets forth a summary of the compensation we paid to our non-employee directors in our fiscal year ended March 31, 2007:

(1) All stock options were granted at the fair market value on the date of grant under our 2000 Stock Option Plan, except for options granted to Mr. Trust, which were granted outside of our 2000 Stock Option Plan.

The value reported above for each named executive officer is the amount of SFAS 123R compensation expense expected to be recognized for financial statement reporting purposes for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007, assuming no option award forfeitures. Our consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007 have not yet been audited. The consolidated financial statements for our fiscal year ended March 31, 2007 are expected to be prepared in May 2007. For a discussion of the assumptions used for SFAS 123R valuations and compensation expense for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006, see note 3 to our notes to consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this prospectus.

Limitation of liability and indemnification
 
As permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law, we have adopted provisions in our certificate of incorporation and by-laws to be in effect upon the closing of this offering that limit or eliminate the personal liability of our directors. Consequently, a director will not be personally liable to us or our stockholders for monetary damages or breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability for:
 
•  any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to us or our stockholders
 
•  any act or omission not in good faith or that involves intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law
 
•  any unlawful payments related to dividends or unlawful stock repurchases, redemptions or other distributions
 
•  any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit
 
These limitations of liability do not alter director liability under the federal securities laws and do not affect the availability of equitable remedies such as an injunction or rescission.
 
In addition, our by-laws provide that:
 
•  we will indemnify our directors, officers and, in the discretion of our board of directors, certain employees to the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law
 
•  we will advance expenses, including attorneys’ fees, to our directors and, in the discretion of our board of directors, to our officers and certain employees, in connection with legal proceedings, subject to limited exceptions
 
Contemporaneous with the closing of this offering, we intend to enter into indemnification agreements with each of our executive officers and directors. These agreements provide that we will indemnify each of our directors to the fullest extent permitted by law and advance expenses to each indemnitee in connection with any proceeding in which indemnification is available.
 
We also maintain general liability insurance that covers certain liabilities of our directors and officers arising out of claims based on acts or omissions in their capacities as directors or officers, including liabilities under the Securities Act. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers, or persons controlling the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, we have been informed that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.
 
These provisions may discourage stockholders from bringing a lawsuit against our directors for breach of their fiduciary duties. These provisions may also have the effect of reducing the likelihood of derivative litigation against directors and officers, even though such an action, if successful, might otherwise benefit us and our stockholders. Furthermore, a stockholder’s

investment may be adversely affected to the extent we pay the costs of settlement and damage awards against directors and officers pursuant to these indemnification provisions. We believe that these provisions, the indemnification agreements and the insurance are necessary to attract and retain talented and experienced directors and officers.
 
At present, there is no pending litigation or proceeding involving any of our directors or officers where indemnification will be required or permitted. We are not aware of any threatened litigation or proceeding that might result in a claim for such indemnification.

Certain relationships and related person transactions
 
Other than compensation agreements and other arrangements which are described in the “Compensation” section of this prospectus and the transactions described below, since April 1, 2004, there has not been and there is not currently proposed, any transaction or series of similar transactions to which we were or will be a party in which the amount involved exceeded or will exceed $120,000 and in which any director, executive officer, holder of five percent or more of any class of our capital stock or any member of their immediate family had or will have a direct or indirect material interest.

Principal stockholders
 
The following table sets forth the beneficial ownership of our common stock as of March 31, 2007, by:
 
•  each named executive officer
 
•  each of our directors
 
•  all of our executive officers and directors as a group
 
•  each person known to us to be the beneficial owner of more than five percent of our common stock
 
The information in the following table assumes that all previously outstanding shares of our preferred stock have been converted into shares of common stock upon the completion of this offering and that no outstanding warrants or options have been exercised. The column entitled “Percentage beneficially owned—Prior to offering” is based on 57,676,390 shares of our common stock outstanding as of March 31, 2007. The column entitled “Percentage beneficially owned—After offering” is based on           shares of our common stock to be outstanding immediately after the completion of this offering, including the          shares of common stock that we are selling in this offering. We have granted an option to the underwriters to purchase up to an aggregate of           additional shares of our common stock to cover over-allotments.
 
In computing the number of shares of common stock beneficially owned by a person and the percentage ownership of that person, we deemed outstanding shares of common stock subject to options held by that person that are currently exercisable or exercisable within 60 days of March 31, 2007. We did not deem these shares outstanding, however, for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of any other person. We have determined beneficial ownership in accordance with the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Except as indicated by the footnotes below, we believe, based on the information furnished to us, that the persons and entities named in the table below have sole voting and investment power with respect to all shares of common stock reflected as beneficially owned, subject to applicable community property laws.

Our board of directors will make any determination to issue such shares based on its judgment as to our company’s best interests and the best interests of our stockholders. We have no current plans to issue any shares of preferred stock.
 
Warrants
 
Upon the closing of this offering, we will have two outstanding warrants to purchase an aggregate of 116,882 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $1.75 per share. One warrant to purchase 48,701 shares of our common stock will expire on April 9, 2008 and the remaining warrant to purchase 68,181 shares of our common stock will expire on February 27, 2009. These warrants provide for adjustments in the exercise price and number of shares issuable upon exercise in the event of stock splits, reclassifications, exchanges, substitutions or other changes in our capital structure as well as some types of consolidations, mergers or asset sales.
 
Holders of the warrants to purchase common stock have registration rights which are outlined below under the heading “Registration rights.”
 
Registration rights
 
We entered into a fourth amended and restated registration rights agreement, dated as of March 29, 2007, with our founders, certain members of our management and other stockholders. Under our registration rights agreement, the parties have certain “demand” registration rights, “piggyback” registration rights (meaning holders may request that their shares be covered by a registration statement that we are otherwise filing) and S-3 registration rights. All of these registration rights are subject to conditions and limitations, including the right of the underwriters of an offering to limit the number of shares included in such registration and our right not to effect a requested registration within six months following any offering of our securities, including this offering.
 
Demand registration rights. At any time which is six months after this initial public offering of shares of our common stock, the holders of approximately            shares of common stock, subject to certain exceptions, are entitled to certain demand registration rights, upon the request of holders of a certain percentage of such shares issued on conversion of preferred stock, pursuant to which they may require us to file a registration statement at our expense with respect to their shares of common stock. We are required to use commercially reasonable efforts to effect any such registration.
 
Piggyback registration rights. If we propose to register any of our securities for our own account or the account of any other holder, the holders of approximately            shares of common stock, after this offering, are entitled to notice of such registration and are entitled to include shares of their common stock in such registration.
 
S-3 registration rights. The holders of approximately           shares of common stock, after this offering, are entitled to demand registration rights pursuant to which they may require us


114


Table of Contents

to file a registration statement on Form S-3 with respect to their shares of common stock and we are required to use our reasonable commercial efforts to effect that registration.
 
We will pay all registration expenses, other than underwriting discounts and commissions, related to any demand, piggyback or S-3 registration. The registration rights agreement contains customary cross-indemnification provisions, pursuant to which we are obligated to indemnify the selling stockholders in the event of material misstatements or omissions in the registration statement attributable to us and they are obligated to indemnify us for material misstatements or omissions attributable to them.
 
Stockholders agreement
 
We entered into a fifth amended and restated stockholders agreement, dated as of March 29, 2007 with our founders, certain members of our management and other stockholders. The stockholders agreement contains provisions that require the nomination and election of directors based on nominations made by certain holders of common stock and preferred stock, subject to certain required percentages held by the holders and based on the particular series of preferred stock held by the holders. The stockholders agreement also contains certain restrictions on transfer of our shares, rights of first refusal, co-sale rights and other protective provisions. The stockholders agreement will terminate in connection with the closing of this offering, except that certain lock-up provisions with respect to shares of stock held by such parties shall survive termination. See “Shares eligible for future sale—Lock-up agreements.”
 
Certain anti-takeover provisions of our certificate of incorporation and by-laws
 
Upon the closing of this offering, our certificate of incorporation and by-laws will include a number of provisions that may have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing another party from acquiring control of us and encouraging persons considering unsolicited tender offers or other unilateral takeover proposals to negotiate with our board of directors rather than pursue non-negotiated takeover attempts. These provisions include the items described below.
 
Board composition and filling vacancies. In accordance with our certificate of incorporation, our board of directors is divided into three classes serving staggered three-year terms, with one class being elected each year. As a result, approximately one-third of the board of directors is elected each year. Our certificate of incorporation also provides that directors may be removed only for cause and then only by the affirmative vote of the holders of 75% or more of the shares then entitled to vote at an election of directors. Furthermore, any vacancy on our board of directors, however occurring, including a vacancy resulting from an increase in the size of our board of directors, may only be filled by the affirmative vote of a majority of our directors then in office even if less than a quorum. These provisions may deter a stockholder from removing incumbent directors and simultaneously gaining control of the board of directors by filling the vacancies created by such removal with its own nominees.
 
No written consent of stockholders. Our certificate of incorporation provides that all stockholder actions are required to be taken by a vote of the stockholders at an annual or special meeting and that stockholders may not take any action by written consent in lieu of a meeting. This limit may lengthen the amount of time required to take stockholder actions and would prevent the amendment of our by-laws or removal of directors by our stockholders without holding a meeting of stockholders.


115


Table of Contents

 
Meetings of stockholders. Our certificate of incorporation and by-laws provide that only a majority of the members of our board of directors then in office may call special meetings of stockholders and only those matters set forth in the notice of the special meeting may be considered or acted upon at a special meeting of stockholders. Our by-laws limit the business that may be conducted at an annual meeting of stockholders to those matters properly brought before the meeting.
 
Advance notice requirements. Our by-laws establish advance notice procedures with regard to stockholder proposals relating to the nomination of candidates for election as directors or new business to be brought before meetings of our stockholders. These procedures provide that notice of stockholder proposals must be timely given in writing to our corporate secretary prior to the meeting at which the action is to be taken. Generally, to be timely, notice must be received at our principal executive offices not less than 90 days prior to the first anniversary date of the annual meeting for the preceding year. The notice must contain certain information specified in the by-laws.
 
Amendment to certificate of incorporation and by-laws. As required by the Delaware General Corporation Law, any amendment of our certificate of incorporation must first be adopted by a majority of our board of directors and must thereafter be approved by a majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote on the amendment and a majority of the outstanding shares of each class entitled to vote thereon as a class, except that the amendment of the provisions relating to stockholder action, board composition, limitation of liability and the amendment of our certificate of incorporation must be approved by not less than 75% of the outstanding shares entitled to vote on the amendment and not less than 75% of the outstanding shares of each class entitled to vote thereon as a class. Our by-laws may be amended by the affirmative vote of a majority of the directors then in office, subject to any limitations set forth in the by-laws; and may also be amended by the affirmative vote of at least 75% of the outstanding shares entitled to vote on the amendment, or, if our board of directors recommends that the stockholders approve the amendment, by the affirmative vote of the majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote on the amendment, in each case voting together as a single class.
 
Undesignated preferred stock. Our certificate of incorporation provides for 5,000,000 authorized shares of preferred stock. The existence of authorized but unissued shares of preferred stock may enable our board of directors to render more difficult or to discourage an attempt to obtain control of us by means of a merger, tender offer, proxy contest or otherwise. For example, if in the due exercise of its fiduciary obligations, our board of directors were to determine that a takeover proposal is not in the best interests of our stockholders, our board of directors could cause shares of preferred stock to be issued without stockholder approval in one or more private offerings or other transactions that might dilute the voting or other rights of the proposed acquirer or insurgent stockholder or stockholder group. In this regard, our certificate of incorporation grants our board of directors broad power to establish the rights and preferences of authorized and unissued shares of preferred stock. The issuance of shares of preferred stock could decrease the amount of earnings and assets available for distribution to holders of shares of common stock. The issuance may also adversely affect the rights and powers, including voting rights, of these holders and may have the effect of delaying, deterring or preventing a change in control of us.

Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law
 
Upon the closing of this offering, we will be subject to the provisions of Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law. In general, Section 203 prohibits a publicly held Delaware corporation from engaging in a “business combination” with an “interested stockholder” for a three-year period following the time that this stockholder becomes an interested stockholder, unless the business combination is approved in a prescribed manner. A “business combination” includes, among other things, a merger, asset or stock sale or other transaction resulting in a financial benefit to the interested stockholder. An “interested stockholder” is a person who, together with affiliates and associates, owns, or did own within three years prior to the determination of interested stockholder status, 15% or more of the corporation’s voting stock. Under Section 203, a business combination between a corporation and an interested stockholder is prohibited unless it satisfies one of the following conditions:
 
•  before the stockholder became interested, our board of directors approved either the business combination or the transaction which resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder
 
•  upon consummation of the transaction which resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder, the interested stockholder owned at least 85% of the voting stock of the corporation outstanding at the time the transaction commenced, excluding for purposes of determining the voting stock outstanding, shares owned by persons who are directors and also officers and employee stock plans, in some instances
 
•  at or after the time the stockholder became interested, the business combination was approved by our board of directors of the corporation and authorized at an annual or special meeting of the stockholders by the affirmative vote of at least two-thirds of the outstanding voting stock which is not owned by the interested stockholder
 
Section 203 defines a business combination to include:
 
•  any merger or consolidation involving the corporation and the interested stockholder
 
•  any sale, lease, exchange, mortgage, pledge, transfer or other disposition involving the interested stockholder of 10% or more of the assets of the corporation
 
•  subject to exceptions, any transaction that results in the issuance or transfer by the corporation of any stock of the corporation to the interested stockholder
 
•  subject to exceptions, any transaction involving the corporation that has the effect of increasing the proportionate share of the stock of any class or series of the corporation beneficially owned by the interested stockholder
 
•  the receipt by the interested stockholder of the benefit of any loans, advances, guarantees, pledges or other financial benefits provided by or through the corporation

Shares eligible for future sale
 
Immediately prior to this offering, there was no public market for our common stock and a liquid trading market for our common stock may not develop or be sustained after this offering. Future sales of substantial amounts of common stock, including shares issued upon exercise of outstanding options, stock appreciation rights or warrants or in the public market after this offering, or the anticipation of those sales, could adversely affect market prices prevailing from time to time and could impair our ability to raise capital through sales of our equity securities. We have applied to have our common stock listed on the NASDAQ Global Market under the symbol “VRTU.”
 
Upon the closing of this offering, we will have           shares of common stock outstanding, after giving effect to the issuance of           shares of common stock offered in this offering. The remaining           shares of common stock held by existing stockholders were issued and sold by us in reliance on exemptions from the registration requirements of the Securities Act. Of these shares,           shares will be subject to “lock-up” agreements described below on the effective date of this offering. Upon expiration of the lock-up agreements 180 days after the effective date of this offering,          shares will become eligible for sale, subject in most cases to the limitations of Rule 144 under the Securities Act. In addition, holders of stock options, stock appreciation rights could exercise such securities and sell certain of the shares issued upon exercise as described below.

Sales under Rule 144 are also subject to manner of sale provisions and notice requirements and to the availability of current public information about us. We cannot estimate the number of shares of common stock that our existing stockholders will elect to sell under Rule 144.
 
Rule 144(k)
 
In general and subject to the lock-up agreements described below, pursuant to Rule 144(k) under the Securities Act a person may sell shares of common stock acquired from us without regard to manner of sale, availability of public information about us or volume, if:
 
•  the person is not our affiliate and has not been our affiliate at any time during the three months preceding the sale
 
•  the person has beneficially owned the shares proposed to be sold for at least two years, including the holding period of certain prior owners
 
Rule 701
 
In general and subject to the lock-up agreements described below, under Rule 701 under the Securities Act certain of our employees, consultants, directors, officers and advisors who purchased shares from us in connection with a compensatory stock or option plan or other written agreement before the effective date of this offering are eligible to resell such shares 90 days after the effective date of this offering under certain conditions. Shares sold by non-affiliates are subject only to the manner of sale provisions of Rule 144, and shares sold by our affiliates must comply with all of the provisions of Rule 144 other than the one-year holding period requirement.
 
Lock-up agreements
 
We expect that the holders of substantially all of our currently outstanding capital stock will agree that, without the prior written consent of J.P. Morgan Securities Inc., they will not, during the period ending 180 days after the date of this prospectus, subject to exceptions specified in the lock-up agreements, offer, pledge, announce the intention to sell, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase, or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, any shares of our common stock or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for our common stock or enter into any swap or other agreement that transfers, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of our common stock. Further, these holders have agreed that, during this period, they will not make any demand for, or exercise any right with respect to, the registration of our common stock or any security convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for our common stock. The 180-day lock-up period may be extended under specified circumstances. The lock-up restrictions, specified exceptions and the circumstances under which the 180-day lock-up period may be extended are described in more detail under “Underwriting.”
 
Registration rights
 
Subject to the lock-up agreements described above, upon the closing of this offering, the holders of            shares of our common stock have certain rights with respect to the registration of such shares under the Securities Act. After registration pursuant to these rights,

As of March 31, 2007, we also had outstanding SARs to purchase 614,235 shares of our common stock after this offering, reduced by the exercise prices of these SARs, of which SARs to purchase 286,906 shares were vested as of March 31, 2007.

See “Compensation-Benefit plans” for additional information about these plans. Accordingly, shares of our common stock registered under the registration statements will be available for sale in the open market, subject to Rule 144 volume limitations applicable to affiliates and subject to any vesting restrictions and lock-up agreements applicable to these shares.

Material U.S. federal income and estate tax considerations to non-U.S. holders
 
The following is a general discussion of the material U.S. federal income and estate tax considerations with respect to the ownership and disposition of our common stock that may be relevant to a non-U.S. holder that acquires our common stock pursuant to this offering. The discussion is based on provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or the Code, applicable U.S. Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder and U.S. Internal Revenue Service, or IRS, rulings and pronouncements and judicial decisions, all as in effect on the date of this prospectus and all of which are subject to change (possibly on a retroactive basis) or to differing interpretations so as to result in tax considerations different from those summarized below. We have not sought and will not seek, any ruling from the IRS with respect to the tax consequences discussed in this prospectus and there can be no assurance that the IRS will not take a position contrary to the tax consequences discussed below or that any such positions taken by the IRS would not be sustained.
 
The discussion is limited to non-U.S. holders that hold our common stock as a “capital asset” within the meaning of Section 1221 of the Code (generally, property held for investment). As used in this discussion, the term “non-U.S. holder” means a beneficial owner of our common stock that is not, for U.S. federal income tax purposes:
 
•  an individual who is a citizen or resident of the United States
 
•  a corporation (including any entity treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes) created or organized in or under the laws of the United States or any state thereof or the District of Columbia
 
•  an estate the income of which is includible in gross income for U.S. federal income tax purposes regardless of its source
 
•  a trust (1) if a U.S. court is able to exercise primary supervision over the administration of the trust and one or more U.S. persons have authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust or (2) that has made a valid election to be treated as a U.S. person for such purposes
 
This discussion does not address the U.S. federal income and estate tax rules applicable to any person who holds our common stock through entities treated as partnerships for U.S. federal income tax purposes or to such entities themselves. If a partnership (including any entity or arrangement treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes) owns our common stock, the tax treatment of a partner in that partnership will depend upon the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership. A holder that is a partnership or a holder of interests in a partnership that holds our common stock should consult such holder’s or person’s tax advisor regarding the tax consequences of the purchase, ownership and disposition of our common stock. This discussion does not consider:
 
•  any state, local or foreign tax consequences
 
•  any tax consequences or computation of the alternative minimum tax
 
•  any U.S. federal gift tax consequences
 
•  any U.S. federal tax considerations that may be relevant to a non-U.S. holder in light of its particular circumstances or to non-U.S. holders that may be subject to special treatment under


122


Table of Contents

U.S. federal tax laws, including without limitation, banks or other financial institutions, insurance companies, tax-exempt organizations, certain trusts, pension plans, hybrid entities, “controlled foreign corporations,” “passive foreign investment companies,” certain former citizens or residents of the U.S., holders subject to U.S. federal alternative minimum tax, broker-dealers, dealers or traders in securities or currencies and holders that hold our common stock as part of a “straddle,” “hedge,” “conversion transaction,” “synthetic security” or other integrated investment
 
This discussion is for general purposes only. Prospective investors are urged to consult their tax advisors regarding the application of the U.S. federal income and estate tax laws to their particular situations and the consequences under U.S. federal gift tax laws, as well as foreign, state and local laws and tax treaties.
 
Dividends
 
As previously discussed, we do not anticipate paying dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future. If we pay dividends on our common stock, however, those payments will constitute dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes to the extent paid from our current or accumulated earnings and profits, as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles. To the extent those distributions exceed our current and accumulated earnings and profits, the distributions will first constitute a return of capital up to such non-U.S. holder’s adjusted tax basis in its shares of common stock and then will be treated as gain from the sale of stock, as described in the section of this prospectus entitled “Gain on disposition of common stock.”
 
A dividend paid to a non-U.S. holder generally will be subject to withholding of U.S. federal income tax at a 30% rate, or a lower rate under an applicable income tax treaty, unless the dividend is effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business of the non-U.S. holder within the United States (and, if an applicable income tax treaty so requires, is attributable to a permanent establishment of the non-U.S. holder within the United States). Non-U.S. holders will be required to satisfy certain certification and disclosure requirements (generally on a properly executed IRS Form W-8BEN) in order to claim a reduced rate of withholding pursuant to an applicable income tax treaty. These forms must be periodically updated. Non-U.S. holders should consult their tax advisors regarding their entitlement to benefits under a relevant income tax treaty. Special rules apply in the case of common stock held by certain non-U.S. holders that are entities rather than individuals.
 
Dividends that are effectively connected with a non-U.S. holder’s conduct of a trade or business in the United States and, if an applicable income tax treaty so requires, attributable to a permanent establishment in the United States will be taxed on a net income basis at the regular graduated U.S. federal income tax rates in the same manner as if the non-U.S. holder were a resident of the United States. In such cases, we will not have to withhold U.S. federal income tax if the non-U.S. holder complies with applicable certification and disclosure requirements (generally on a properly executed IRS Form W-8ECI). In addition, a “branch profits tax” may be imposed at a 30% rate, or a lower rate under an applicable income tax treaty, on dividends received by a foreign corporation that are effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business in the United States.
 
A non-U.S. holder may obtain a refund or credit of any excess amounts withheld by timely filing with the IRS an appropriate claim for a refund together with the required information.

Gain on disposition of common stock
 
A non-U.S. holder generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax with respect to gain realized on a sale or other disposition of our common stock unless one of the following applies:
 
•  the gain is effectively connected with the non-U.S. holder’s conduct of a trade or business in the United States or, if an applicable income tax treaty so requires, is attributable to a permanent establishment maintained by the non-U.S. holder in the United States; in these cases, the non-U.S. holder generally will be taxed on its net gain derived from the disposition at the regular graduated rates and in the manner applicable to United States persons (as defined in the Code), unless an applicable treaty provides otherwise, and, if the non-U.S. holder is a foreign corporation, the “branch profits tax” described above may also apply
 
•  the non-U.S. holder is an individual present in the United States for 183 days or more in the taxable year of the disposition and certain other conditions are met, in which case, the non-U.S. holder will be subject to a 30% tax on the amount by which the gain derived from the sale or other disposition of our common stock and any other U.S.-source capital gains realized by the non-U.S. holder in the same taxable year exceed the U.S.-source capital losses realized by the non-U.S. holder in that taxable year unless an applicable income tax treaty provides an exemption or a lower rate
 
•  we are or have been a “United States real property holding corporation” for U.S. federal income tax purposes at any time within the shorter of the five-year period ending on the date of disposition or the period that the non-U.S. holder held our common stock. We do not believe that we have been, are, or will become, a United States real property holding corporation, although there can be no assurance in this regard. If we are, or were to become, a United States real property holding corporation at any time during the applicable period, however, any gain recognized on a disposition of our common stock by a non-U.S. holder that did not own (directly, indirectly or constructively) more than five percent of our common stock at any time during the applicable period generally would not be subject to U.S. federal income tax, provided that, at the time of the disposition, our common stock is “regularly traded on an established securities market” (within the meaning of Section 897(c)(3) of the Code)
 
Federal estate tax
 
Common stock owned or treated as owned by an individual who is a non-U.S. holder at the time of death will be included in the individual’s gross estate for U.S. federal estate tax purposes, unless an applicable estate tax or other treaty provides otherwise, and, therefore, such individual’s estate may be subject to U.S. federal estate tax.
 
Information reporting and backup withholding tax
 
Generally, we must report to the IRS the amount of dividends paid, the name and address of the recipient and the amount, if any, of tax withheld. Pursuant to income tax treaties or other agreements, the IRS may make its reports available to tax authorities in the recipient’s country of residence.
 
Dividends and proceeds from the sale or other taxable disposition of our common stock are potentially subject to backup withholding, currently at a rate of 28%. In general, backup


124


Table of Contents

withholding will not apply to dividends on our common stock paid by us or our paying agents, in their capacities as such, to a non-U.S. holder if the holder has provided the required certification that it is a non-U.S. holder.
 
In general, backup withholding and information reporting will not apply to proceeds from the disposition of our common stock paid to a non-U.S. holder within the United States or conducted through certain U.S.-related financial intermediaries if the holder has provided the required certification that it is a non-U.S. holder.
 
Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Any amount withheld may be refunded or credited against the holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability, if any, provided that the required information is furnished to the IRS in a timely manner.
 
Non-U.S. holders should consult their tax advisors regarding the application of the information reporting and backup withholding rules to them.
 
Prospective non-U.S. holders of our common stock should consult their tax advisors with respect to the particular tax consequences to them of owning and disposing of our common stock, including the consequences under the laws of any state, local or foreign jurisdiction or under any applicable tax treaty.

We are offering the shares of common stock described in this prospectus through a number of underwriters. J.P. Morgan Securities Inc. is acting as sole book-running manager. J.P. Morgan Securities Inc., Bear, Stearns & Co. Inc., Cowen and Company, LLC and William Blair & Company, L.L.C. are acting as representatives of the underwriters. We have entered into an underwriting agreement with the underwriters. Subject to the terms and conditions of the underwriting agreement, we have agreed to sell to the underwriters and each underwriter has severally agreed to purchase, at the initial public offering price less the underwriting discounts and commissions set forth on the cover page of this prospectus, the number of shares of common stock listed next to its name in the following table:

The underwriters are committed to purchase all the shares of common stock offered by us. The underwriting agreement also provides that if an underwriter defaults, the purchase commitments of non-defaulting underwriters may also be increased or the offering may be terminated.
 
The underwriters propose to offer the shares of common stock directly to the public at the initial public offering price set forth on the cover page of this prospectus and to certain dealers at that price less a concession not in excess of $      per share. Any such dealers may resell shares to certain other brokers or dealers at a discount of up to $      per share from the initial public offering price. After the initial public offering of the shares, the offering price and other selling terms may be changed by the underwriters. The representatives have advised us that the underwriters do not intend to confirm discretionary sales in excess of five percent of the shares of common stock offered in this offering.
 
The underwriters have an option to buy up to           additional shares of common stock from us to cover sales of shares by the underwriters which exceed the number of shares specified in the table above. The underwriters have 30 days from the date of this prospectus to exercise this over-allotment option. If any shares are purchased with this over-allotment option, the underwriters will purchase shares in approximately the same proportion as shown in the table above. If any additional shares of common stock are purchased, the underwriters will offer the additional shares on the same terms as those on which the shares are being offered.
 
The underwriting fee is equal to the initial public offering price per share of common stock less the amount paid by the underwriters to us per share of common stock. The underwriting fee is $      per share. The following table shows the per share and total underwriting discounts and

We estimate that the total expenses of this offering, including registration, filing and listing fees, printing fees and legal and accounting expenses, but excluding the underwriting discounts and commissions, will be approximately $           million, all of which is payable by us.
 
A prospectus in electronic format may be made available on the websites maintained by one or more underwriters, or selling group members, if any, participating in this offering.

Our directors and executive officers and substantially all of our stockholders and option holders have entered into lock-up agreements with the underwriters prior to the commencement of this offering pursuant to which each of these persons or entities, with limited exceptions, for a period of 180 days after the date of the final prospectus, may not, without the prior written consent of J.P. Morgan Securities Inc., (1) offer, pledge, announce the intention to sell, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase, or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or

indirectly, any shares of our common stock (including, without limitation, common stock that may be issued upon exercise of a stock option or warrant) or (2) enter into any swap or other agreement that transfers, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of the common stock, whether any such transaction described in clause (1) or (2) above is to be settled by delivery of common stock or such other securities, in cash or otherwise. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if (1) during the last 17 days of the 180-day restricted period, we issue an earnings release or material news or a material event relating to our company occurs; or (2) prior to the expiration of the 180-day restricted period, we announce that we will release earnings results during the 16-day period beginning on the last day of the 180-day period, the restrictions described above shall continue to apply until the expiration of the 18-day period beginning on the issuance of the earnings release or the occurrence of the material news or material event.

We have agreed to indemnify the underwriters against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.
 
We have applied to have our common stock listed on the NASDAQ Global Market under the symbol “VRTU.”
 
In connection with this offering, the underwriters may engage in stabilizing transactions, which involves making bids for, purchasing and selling shares of common stock in the open market for the purpose of preventing or retarding a decline in the market price of the common stock while this offering is in progress. These stabilizing transactions may include making short sales of the common stock, which involves the sale by the underwriters of a greater number of shares of common stock than they are required to purchase in this offering and purchasing shares of common stock on the open market to cover positions created by short sales. Short sales may be “covered” shorts, which are short positions in an amount not greater than the underwriters’ over-allotment option referred to above, or may be “naked” shorts, which are short positions in excess of that amount. The underwriters may close out any covered short position either by exercising their over-allotment option, in whole or in part, or by purchasing shares in the open market. In making this determination, the underwriters will consider, among other things, the price of shares available for purchase in the open market compared to the price at which the underwriters may purchase shares through the over-allotment option. A naked short position is more likely to be created if the underwriters are concerned that there may be downward pressure on the price of the common stock in the open market that could adversely affect investors who purchase in this offering. To the extent that the underwriters create a naked short position, they will purchase shares in the open market to cover the position.

The underwriters have advised us that, pursuant to Regulation M of the Exchange Act, they may also engage in other activities that stabilize, maintain or otherwise affect the price of the common stock, including the imposition of penalty bids. This means that if the representatives of the underwriters purchase common stock in the open market in stabilizing transactions or to cover short sales, the representatives can require the underwriters that sold those shares as part of this offering to repay the underwriting discount received by them.
 
These activities may have the effect of raising or maintaining the market price of the common stock or preventing or retarding a decline in the market price of the common stock, and, as a result, the price of the common stock may be higher than the price that otherwise might exist in the open market. If the underwriters commence these activities, they may discontinue them at any time. The underwriters may carry out these transactions on the NASDAQ Global Market, in the over-the-counter market or otherwise.
 
Prior to this offering, there has been no public market for our common stock. The initial public offering price will be determined by negotiations between us and the representatives of the underwriters. In determining the initial public offering price, we and the representatives of the underwriters expect to consider a number of factors including:
 
•  the information set forth in this prospectus and otherwise available to the representatives
 
•  our prospects and the history and prospects for the industry in which we compete
 
•  an assessment of our management
 
•  our prospects for future earnings
 
•  the general condition of the securities markets at the time of this offering
 
•  the recent market prices of, and demand for, publicly traded common stock of generally comparable companies; and other factors deemed relevant by the underwriters and us
 
Neither we nor the underwriters can assure investors that an active trading market will develop for our common stock, or that the shares of common stock will trade in the public market at or above the initial public offering price.

Report of independent registered public accounting firm
 
Board of Directors and Shareholders
Virtusa Corporation and Subsidiaries:
 
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Virtusa Corporation and Subsidiaries (the Company) as of March 31, 2006 and 2005, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended March 31, 2006. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.
 
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Virtusa Corporation and Subsidiaries as of March 31, 2006 and 2005, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended March 31, 2006, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
 
As discussed in note 3 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company changed its method of accounting for share-based payments effective April 1, 2005.

(Unaudited with respect to December 31, 2005 and 2006)
 
(In thousands, except share and per share amounts)
 
(1) Nature of the Business
 
Virtusa Corporation (the Company or Virtusa) is a global information technology services company. The Company uses an offshore delivery model to provide a broad range of information technology, or IT services, including IT consulting, technology implementation and application outsourcing. Using its enhanced global delivery model, innovative platforming approach and industry expertise, the Company provides cost-effective services that enable its clients to accelerate time to market, improve service and enhance productivity. Headquartered in Massachusetts, Virtusa has offices in the United States and the United Kingdom, and global delivery centers in Hyderabad and Chennai, India and Colombo, Sri Lanka.
 
(2) Unaudited interim financial information
 
The accompanying interim consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2006, the consolidated statements of operations and consolidated statement of cash flows for the nine months ended December 31, 2005 and 2006, and the statement of changes in stockholders’ equity for the nine months ended December 31, 2006 are unaudited. These unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. In the opinion of the Company’s management, the unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the audited financial statements and include all adjustments, consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments and accruals, necessary for the fair presentation of the Company’s statement of financial position at December 31, 2006 and its results of operations and its cash flows for the nine months ended December 31, 2005 and 2006. The results for the nine months ended December 31, 2006 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending March 31, 2007.
 
(3) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
 
(a) Principles of Consolidation
 
The consolidated financial statements reflect the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries, Virtusa (India) Private Limited, organized and located in India, Virtusa (Sri Lanka) Private Limited, organized and located in Sri Lanka, Virtusa UK Limited, organized and located in the United Kingdom, and Virtusa Securities Corporation, a Massachusetts securities corporation located in the United States. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
 
(b) Use of Estimates
 
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, including the recoverability of tangible assets, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of


F-11


Table of Contents

 
Virtusa Corporation and subsidiaries
Notes to consolidated financial statements (continued)

the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported period. Management reevaluates these estimates on an ongoing basis. The most significant estimates relate to the recognition of revenue and profits based on the percentage of completion method of accounting for certain fixed-price contracts, income taxes and related deferred tax assets and liabilities, valuation of long-lived assets, contingencies and litigation. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. The actual amounts may vary from the estimates used in the preparation of the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
 
(c) Foreign Currency Translation
 
The functional currencies of our non-U.S. subsidiaries are the local currency. India, Sri Lanka and the United Kingdom’s operating and capital expenditures are denominated in their local currency which is the currency most compatible with their expected economic results. India and Sri Lanka local expenditures form the underlying basis for inter-company transactions which are subsequently conducted in both U.S. dollars and U.K. pounds sterling. U.K. client sales contracts are conducted in U.K. pounds sterling.
 
All transactions and account balances are denominated in the local currency. The Company translates the value of these non U.S. subsidiaries’ local currency denominated assets and liabilities into U.S. dollars at the rates in effect at the balance sheet date. Resulting translation adjustments are recorded in stockholders’ equity as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). The local currency denominated statement of operations amounts are translated into U.S. dollars using the average exchange rates in effect during the period. Realized foreign currency transaction gains and losses are included in the consolidated statements of operations. The Company’s non-U.S. subsidiaries do not operate in “highly inflationary” countries.
 
(d)  Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
 
The Company accounts for its derivative instruments in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, and SFAS No. 138, Accounting for Certain Derivative Instruments and Certain Hedging Activities, an amendment of SFAS No. 133. These statements establish accounting and reporting standards requiring that derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, be recorded on the balance sheet at fair value as either assets or liabilities. The accounting for changes in the fair value of a derivative instrument depends on the intended use and designation of the derivative at its inception. Any changes in the fair value of the derivative instrument are recognized immediately in earnings. At March 31, 2005 and 2006, the Company had outstanding derivative contracts with notional values of $7,569, and $10,472, respectively. As of December 31, 2006, the Company had no outstanding derivative contracts.
 
(e)  Cash and Cash Equivalents, Restricted Cash and Investments
 
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a remaining maturity of three months or less from the date of purchase to be cash equivalents. At March 31, 2005 and 2006, and December 31, 2006, cash equivalents consisted of money market instruments.

Notes to consolidated financial statements (continued)

 
The Company leases its Westborough, Massachusetts facility. The lease is secured by a credit facility, which, in turn is secured by a pledge of restricted cash. At March 31, 2005 and 2006, and December 31, 2006, cash in the amount of $615, $615, and $489 (unaudited) respectively, was restricted in support of the Westborough, Massachusetts lease. The Company also has restricted cash in India to secure the import of computer equipment of approximately $86 at both March 31, 2006 and 2005, and $284 (unaudited) at December 31, 2006, which includes deposits under lien of $215 (unaudited) against a bank guarantee issued by a bank in favor of Andhra Pradesh Industrial Infrastructure Corporation Limited, or APIICL, a government agency in India.
 
At March 31, 2005 and 2006, and December 31, 2006, the Company held long-term investments in equity instruments of companies which it accounts for under the cost method as ownership is less than 20% and the Company does not have the ability to exercise significant influence over their operations. In prior years, because evidence indicated that it would be highly unlikely that the Company would be able to sell or otherwise recover the cost basis of certain investments, the Company had reduced the carrying value of certain investments to zero to reflect the value of the investments.
 
In the year ended March 31, 2005, the Company recognized a gain of $146 on the sale of an investment which had a carrying value of $261. During the year ended March 31, 2006, the Company recognized an additional gain of $696 from “earn out” payments on the sale of this same investment. The Company also recognized a gain of $231 on the sale of a second investment which had a carrying value of zero.
 
The Company also has investments in Sri Lanka treasury notes and bills totaling $57, $40 and $41 (unaudited) at March 31, 2005 and 2006, and December 31, 2006, respectively. The purpose of these investments is to provide the funding necessary to meet Sri Lankan employee pension obligations as they arise. While the duration period to maturity of these investments is usually less than one year, the Company considers these investments to be long-term in nature given their intended purpose.
 
(f)  Fair Value of Financial Instruments
 
At March 31, 2005 and 2006, and December 31, 2006, the carrying amounts of the Company’s financial instruments, which included cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, unbilled accounts receivable, restricted cash, accounts payable, accrued employee compensation and benefits and other accrued expenses, approximate their fair values due to their short-term nature. Based on borrowing rates currently available to the Company for leases with similar terms, the carrying value of capital lease obligations approximated fair value at March 31, 2006 and 2005 and December 31, 2006.
 
(g)  Concentration of Credit Risk and Significant Customers
 
Financial instruments which potentially expose the Company to concentrations of credit risk are primarily comprised of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and unbilled accounts receivable. The Company places its temporary cash in highly rated financial institutions. Management believes its credit policies reflect normal industry terms and business risk. The

Company does not anticipate non-performance by the counterparties and, accordingly, does not require collateral.
 
At March 31, 2006, two customers accounted for 27% and 13% of gross accounts receivable, and at December 31, 2006, one customer accounted for 34% (unaudited) of gross accounts receivable. At March 31, 2005, two customers accounted for 13% and 11% of gross accounts receivable. During the year ended March 31, 2006 and the nine months ended December 31, 2006, two customers accounted for 11% and 10%, and 22% (unaudited) and 7% (unaudited), respectively, of the Company’s revenue. During the year ended March 31, 2005, two customers accounted for 14% and 11% of the Company’s revenue. For the year ended March 31, 2004, three customers accounted for 18%, 16%, and 12% of the Company’s revenue.
 
(h)  Property and Equipment
 
Property and equipment are recorded at cost and depreciated over their estimated useful lives using the straight-line method. Property and equipment held under capital leases, which involve a transfer of ownership, are amortized over the estimated useful life of the asset. Other property and equipment held under capital leases and leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of their lease term or the estimated useful life of the related asset. Upon retirement or sale, the cost of assets disposed of and the related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is credited or charged to income. Repair and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred.
 
(i) Long-lived Assets
 
Our long-lived assets include property and equipment and long-term investments. We evaluate the recoverability of our long-lived assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to future undiscounted net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying value of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets and the resulting losses are included in the statement of operations.
 
(j)  Internally-Developed Software
 
Statement of Position (SOP) 98-1, Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use, requires research and development costs associated with the application development stage to be capitalized for internal use software. During the years ended March 31, 2005 and 2006, and the nine months ended December 31, 2005 and 2006, capitalized software development costs pursuant to SOP 98-1 were approximately $300, $297, $121 (unaudited) and $151 (unaudited), respectively. These costs were recorded in property and equipment. Capitalized internal use software development costs are amortized over their estimated useful life, generally 3 years, using the straight line method, beginning with the date that an asset is ready for its intended use. For the years ended March 31, 2004, 2005 and 2006 and the nine months ended December 31, 2005 and 2006, amortization of capitalized software

development costs amounted to approximately $11, $87, $138, $89 (unaudited) and $171 (unaudited), respectively.
 
(k) Income Taxes
 
Income taxes are accounted for under the provisions of SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes (SFAS 109), using the asset and liability method whereby deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.
 
At March 31, 2005 and 2006, a full valuation allowance was recorded against the gross deferred tax asset since management believed that after considering all the available objective evidence, both positive and negative, historical and prospective, with greater weight given to historical evidence, it was more likely than not that these assets would not be realized primarily due to the cumulative losses in recent years.
 
As of September 30, 2006, the Company’s U.S. and foreign deferred tax assets were fully offset by a valuation allowance primarily because at the time, it did not have sufficient history of taxable income to conclude that it was more likely than not that it would be able to realize the tax benefits of those deferred tax assets. At December 31, 2006, the Company determined that it was more likely than not that most of its deferred tax assets would be realized based upon its positive cumulative operating results and its assessment of its expected future results. As a result, the Company released most of its valuation allowance and recognized a discrete income tax benefit of $4,956 (unaudited) in its consolidated statement of operations for the nine months ended December 31, 2006.
 
In addition, the calculation of the Company’s tax liabilities involves dealing with uncertainties in the application of complex tax regulations in multiple jurisdictions. The Company records liabilities for estimated tax obligations in the United States and other tax jurisdictions.
 
(l)  Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock
 
The carrying value of redeemable convertible preferred stock is increased by periodic accretions so that the carrying amount will equal the redemption amount at the redemption date. These increases are affected through charges to additional paid-in capital.
 
(m) Revenue Recognition
 
The Company derives its revenue from a variety of IT consulting, technology implementation and application outsourcing services. Contracts for these services have different terms and conditions based on the scope, deliverables, and complexity of the engagement which require management to make judgments and estimates in determining the overall cost to the customer. Fees for these contracts may be in the form of time-and-materials or fixed price arrangements.

Revenue is recognized as work is performed and amounts are earned in accordance with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 101, Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements, as amended by SAB No. 104, Revenue Recognition. The Company considers amounts to be earned once evidence of an arrangement has been obtained, services are delivered, fees are fixed or determinable, and collectibility is reasonably assured. For contracts with fees based on time-and-materials, the Company recognizes revenue over the period of performance. Depending on the specific contractual provisions and nature of the deliverable, revenue may be recognized on a proportional performance model based on level of effort, as milestones are achieved or when final deliverables have been provided.
 
Revenue from fixed price contracts is accounted for under the percentage-of-completion method in accordance with the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants Statement of Position 81-1 (SOP 81-1), Accounting for Performance of Construction-Type and Certain Production-Type Contracts. Under the percentage-of-completion method, management estimates the percentage of completion based upon efforts incurred as a percentage of the total estimated efforts for the specified engagement. When total cost estimates exceed revenues, the Company accrues for the estimated losses immediately. The use of the percentage-of-completion method requires significant judgment relative to estimating total contract revenue and efforts, including assumptions relative to the length of time to complete the project, the nature and complexity of the work to be performed, and anticipated changes in other engagement-related costs. Estimates of total contract revenues and efforts are continuously monitored during the term of the contract and are subject to revision as the contract progresses. When revisions in estimated contract revenues and efforts are determined, such adjustments are recorded in the period in which they are first identified. Depending on the specific contractual provisions and nature of the deliverable, revenue may be recognized as milestones are achieved or when final deliverables have been provided.
 
Revenue includes reimbursements of travel and out-of-pocket expenses with equivalent amounts of expense recorded in costs of revenue of $1,521, $2,573, $1,724, $1,245 (unaudited) and $2,209 (unaudited) for the years ended March 31, 2004, 2005 and 2006 and the nine months ended December 31, 2005 and 2006, respectively.
 
(n)  Costs of Revenue and Operating Expenses
 
Costs of revenue consist principally of salaries, employee benefits and stock compensation expense, reimbursable and non-reimbursable travel costs, and immigration related expenses for IT professionals.
 
Selling and marketing expenses are charged to income as incurred. Selling and marketing expenses are those expenses associated with promoting and selling the Company’s services and include such items as sales and marketing personnel salaries, stock compensation expense and related fringe benefits, commissions, travel, and the cost of advertising and other promotional activities. Advertising and promotional expenses incurred were approximately $88, $107 and $455 for the years ended March 31, 2004, 2005 and 2006, respectively, and $73 (unaudited) and $155 (unaudited) for the nine months ended December 31, 2005 and 2006, respectively.

General and administrative expenses include other operating items such as officers’ and administrative personnel salaries and stock compensation expense and related fringe benefits, legal and audit expenses, insurance, provision for doubtful accounts, depreciation and operating lease expenses.
 
(o) Share-Based Compensation
 
Effective April 1, 2005, the Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 123(R), Share Based Payment, (SFAS 123R) using the modified prospective method. Accordingly, the statements of operations for the year ended March 31, 2006 and nine months ended December 31, 2005 and 2006 (unaudited) include compensation costs related to newly granted share-based awards calculated in accordance with SFAS 123R, as well as for those issued in prior years calculated in accordance with SFAS 123 that vest after the adoption date. The compensation cost is determined by estimating the fair value at the grant date of the Company’s common stock using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, and expensing the total compensation cost on a straight line basis (net of estimated forfeitures) over the requisite employee service period. The total SFAS 123R compensation expense for the year ended March 31, 2006 and the nine month periods ended December 31, 2005 and 2006 was $1,792, $1,291 (unaudited) and $2,050 (unaudited), respectively, with $537, $378 (unaudited), and $818 (unaudited), respectively, of this amount included in the costs of revenue, and $1,255, $907 (unaudited) and $1,232 (unaudited), respectively, in selling, general and administrative expenses.
 
Under SFAS No. 123R’s modified prospective method, the effect of the standard is recognized in the period of adoption and in future periods, but prior periods are not restated to reflect the impact of adopting the new standard at earlier dates. Prior to April 1, 2005, employee stock awards under the Company’s compensation plan were accounted for using the intrinsic value method as prescribed by the Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related interpretations. In accordance with the disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock Based Compensation, and SFAS No. 148, Accounting for Stock Based Compensation—Transition and Disclosure an Amendment to Statement No. 123, had compensation cost been determined based on the fair value of the options granted to employees at the grant date consistent with the provisions of SFAS No. 123,

Expected dividend yield
                             
 
 
 
The risk-free interest rate assumptions are based on the interpolation of various U.S. Treasury bill rates in effect during the month in which stock option awards are granted. The Company’s volatility assumption is based on the historical volatility rates of the common stock of its publicly held peers over periods commensurate with the expected term of each grant.
 
The expected term of employee share-based awards represents the weighted average period of time that awards are expected to remain outstanding. The determination of the expected term of share-based awards assumes that employees’ behavior is a function of the awards vested, contractual lives, and the extent to which the award is in the money. Given that the Company is privately-held and its share-based award plans are relatively new, it has very little experience or

history to be able to determine the expected term of its share-based awards. Accordingly, the Company has elected to utilize the SAB No. 107 “simplified” method of determining the expected term or life of its share-based awards. The SEC permits the use of this method by non-public companies that have relatively little plan history or peer-company, industry, or other empirical data available to determine the expected period or term over which its awards will be held before exercise.
 
As of March 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005 and 2006, there was $4,122, $4,370 (unaudited) and $3,572 (unaudited), respectively, of total unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested share-based compensation arrangements granted under the Company’s 2000 Amended and Restated Option Plan (the Option Plan). That cost is expected to be recognized over the remaining weighted average period of 2.95 years.
 
In addition to the share-based compensation arrangements described above, the Company established a stock appreciation rights (SARs) compensation plan during the year ended March 31, 2006 (see note 9 for a more complete description of this plan). Because SARs are required to be settled in cash, the compensation cost and the future liability for these SARs are determined by establishing the fair value of the SARs at the date of grant and remeasuring the fair value of the vested SARs at the close of each reporting period. Accordingly, prior to the full vesting of a SARs, the cumulative compensation cost and the resultant liability associated with the SAR will be recognized and be equal to the proportionate fair value of the SAR earned to date. Subsequent to full vesting, the change in fair value of a SAR is recorded as an adjustment to the future liability and as compensation expense in the determination of periodic earnings. During the year ended March 31, 2006 and the nine months ended December 31, 2005, and 2006, the Company recognized compensation expense in the amount of $206, $117 (unaudited) and $679 (unaudited) with $185, $104 (unaudited) and $606 (unaudited) of this amount included in costs of revenue, and $21, $13 (unaudited) and $73 (unaudited) in selling, general and administrative expenses.
 
Each SAR’s fair value was determined using the Black-Scholes pricing model. The pricing model assumptions include a U.S. Treasury bills derived, risk-free interest rate of 3.95% to 4.86%, an expected term or life of each award ranging from 6.25 to 7.0 years, an anticipated stock volatility of 47% to 72%, and no expected dividend yield. The amount of the liability associated with these awards is $206 and $879 (unaudited) at March 31, 2006 and December 31, 2006, respectively.
 
No current period or prior year share-based compensation expenses has been capitalized into property and equipment.
 
(p) Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
 
The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of customers to make required payments. The allowance for doubtful accounts is determined by evaluating the relative credit worthiness of each customer, historical collections experience and other information, including the aging of the receivables.

(q) Unbilled Accounts Receivable
 
Unbilled accounts receivable represent revenues on contracts to be billed, in subsequent periods, as per the terms of the related contracts.
 
(r) Earnings (Loss) per Share
 
Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share include the dilutive effect of share-based compensation such as options, preferred stock and restricted stock.

During the year ended March 31, 2004 and the nine months ended December 31, 2005 (unaudited), 35,762,836 shares of redeemable convertible preferred stock were not included in the computation of diluted earnings (loss) per share because they would have had an anti-dilutive effect. For the years ended March 31, 2005 and 2006, and the nine months ended December 31, 2006 (unaudited), all redeemable convertible preferred stock was included in the computation of diluted earnings (loss) per share.

(s) Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 
In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 158, Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Post-Retirement Plans—an Amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106 and 123(R). This standard requires recognition of the funded status of benefit plans in statements of financial position. The standard also requires recognition in other comprehensive income of certain gains and losses that arise during the period but are deferred under pension accounting rules; and it modifies the timing of reporting and adds certain disclosures. The recognition and disclosure elements of SFAS No. 158 are effective for fiscal years ending after June 15, 2007 and the measurement elements are effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2008. Management is planning to adopt the recognition and disclosure requirements for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2007 and is currently evaluating the effect that the adoption of SFAS No. 158 will have on the Company’s financial position and results of operations.
 
In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (SFAS No. 157). SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that SFAS No. 157 will have on its financial position and results of operations.
 
In September 2006, the SEC issued SAB No. 108, Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements. This bulletin summarizes the SEC staff’s views regarding the process of quantifying financial statement misstatements. SAB No. 108 is effective for reporting periods ending after November 15, 2006. SAB No. 108 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.
 
In June 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 (FIN 48). FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in a company’s financial statements and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. FIN 48 also provides guidance on description, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that FIN 48 will have on its financial position and results of operations.
 
In February 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 155, Accounting for Certain Hybrid Instruments. SFAS No. 155 is an amendment to SFAS No. 133 and No. 140 and allows financial instruments that have embedded derivatives to be accounted for as a whole (eliminating the need to bifurcate the derivative from its host) if the holder elects to account for the whole instrument on a fair value basis. SFAS No. 155 is effective for an entity’s first fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006. The Company does not expect that SFAS No. 155 will have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.

represents advances paid towards the acquisition of property and equipment and the cost of property and equipment not put to use before the balance sheet date.
 
As of March 31, 2005 and 2006 and as of December 31, 2006, the cumulative cost of equipment acquired under capital leases included in property and equipment totaled $596, $570 and $36 (unaudited), with related accumulated amortization of $289, $540 and $36 (unaudited) respectively. The Company abandoned a project relating to the internal development of certain software and charged $208 to general and administrative expense in the accompanying statement of operations during the year ended March 31, 2006.
 
(6) Debt
 
The Company has a $3,000 (unaudited) revolving line of credit with a bank with a $1,500 ($620 as of March 31, 2006) sub-limit for letters of credit as of December 31, 2006. The revolving line of credit also includes a foreign exchange line of credit requiring 15% of foreign exchange contracts to be supported by the Company’s borrowing base which does not support any foreign currency contracts at December 31, 2006. Advances under this credit facility accrue interest at an annual rate equal to the prime rate minus 0.25%. The credit facility is secured by the grant of a security interest in all of the Company’s U.S. assets in favor of the bank and contains financial and reporting covenants and limitations. The Company is currently in compliance with all covenants contained in its credit facility and believe that the credit facility provides sufficient flexibility so that it will remain in compliance with its terms. The credit facility expires on September 30, 2007. The Company had no amounts (unaudited) outstanding under this credit facility as of December 31, 2006.
 
(7) Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock
 
Series A Preferred Stock
 
On May 25, 2000, the Company issued 3,826,425 shares of Series A redeemable convertible preferred stock (Series A preferred stock) at a price of $3.3386 per share. Proceeds were recorded net of issuance costs of $60. In addition, during the year ended March 31, 2000, the Company converted $725 of convertible promissory notes into 217,157 shares of Series A preferred stock.
 
Series B Preferred Stock
 
On December 21, 2000, the Company issued 8,647,043 shares of Series B redeemable convertible preferred stock (Series B preferred stock) at a price of $1.75 per share.

Series C Preferred Stock
 
On November 1, 2002, February 27, 2003, March 31, 2003, July 10, 2003 and February 11, 2004, the Company issued 6,623,867, 5,759,765, 104,723, 104,723 and 31,416 shares of Series C redeemable convertible preferred stock (Series C preferred stock) at prices of $0.9813 to $0.9549 per share. Proceeds were recorded net of issuance costs of $49.
 
Series D Preferred Stock
 
On February 5, 2004 the Company issued 7,458,494 shares of Series D redeemable convertible preferred stock (Series D preferred stock) at a price of $2.681507 per share. Proceeds were recorded net of issuance costs of $88.
 
The Series A, B, C and D preferred stock have the following characteristics:
 
Voting Rights
 
The holders of the preferred stock are entitled to vote, together with the holders of common stock, on all matters submitted to stockholders for a vote. Each preferred stockholder is entitled to the number of votes equal to the number of shares of common stock into which each preferred share is convertible at the time of such vote.
 
Dividends
 
The holders of the Series A, Series B, Series C and Series D preferred stock are entitled to receive, when and if declared by the board of directors and out of funds legally available, noncumulative dividends declared on the common stock equal to the number of shares of common stock into which each preferred share is convertible as of the record date times the dividend per share. No dividends have been declared or paid by the Company.
 
The reduced conversion prices for Series A and B preferred stock, as a result of subsequent “down rounds” of financing, triggered certain anti-dilution provisions in the Company’s certificate of incorporation which gave rise to deemed dividends. Deemed dividends of approximately $1,100 were recorded as a debit to common stock additional paid in capital and a credit to preferred stock additional paid in capital in the accompanying financial statements.

Liquidation Preference
 
In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Company, the holders of the then outstanding Series A, Series B, Series C, and Series D preferred stock have the right to receive for each share an amount equal to the sum of $3.3386, $1.7500, $0.9549, and $2.6815 per share of Series A, Series B, Series C, and Series D preferred stock, respectively, plus all declared but unpaid dividends, payable in preference and priority to any payments made to the holders of the then outstanding common stock. An extraordinary transaction such as a merger or sale of the company may also be deemed a liquidation event in which the holders of preferred stock would have a right to their applicable liquidation preference. If a liquidation event is triggered, under the certificate of incorporation, after payment in full of the applicable per share liquidation preference amounts as listed above to the holders of preferred stock from assets of the Company, to the extent there are any assets of the Company still available for distribution, the holders of the preferred stock have the right to share ratably with the holders of common stock with the remaining assets of the company until such time as the holders of preferred stock will have received an amount equal to at least two and one half times their applicable per share liquidation preference amount.
 
Conversion
 
Each share of preferred stock, at the option of the holder, is convertible into a number of fully paid shares of common stock as determined by dividing the respective preferred stock issue price by the conversion price in effect at the time. The current conversion price of Series A, Series B, Series C, and Series D preferred stock is $2.3807, $1.5400, $0.9549, and $2.6815, respectively, and is subject to adjustment in accordance with anti-dilution provisions contained in the Company’s certificate of incorporation. Conversion is automatic immediately upon the closing of a firm commitment underwritten public offering in which the aggregate proceeds raised from the offering exceed $25,000, and at a pre-money valuation for the Company (on a fully diluted basis) of at least $325,000.
 
Redemption
 
On or after February 5, 2007, the holders of at least a majority of the outstanding Series A, Series B, Series C and Series D preferred stock may, by written request, require the Company to redeem 33.3% of the then outstanding shares, an additional 33.4% of the original outstanding shares on February 5, 2008, and all of the remaining outstanding shares on February 5, 2009. The per share redemption price shall be equal to the original purchase price plus the amount of any declared and unpaid dividends.
 
If the Company does not have sufficient funds legally available to redeem all shares of Series A, Series B, Series C, and Series D preferred stock to be redeemed at the aforementioned redemption dates, then the Company shall redeem such shares ratably to the extent possible and shall redeem the remaining shares as soon as sufficient funds are legally available.

The Company has authorized the issuance of 80,000,000 shares of $0.01 par value common stock. In addition, the Company has reserved as of March 31, 2005 and 2006, and as of December 31, 2006 a total of 46,542,044 , 44,778,959 and 44,566,589 (unaudited) shares of common stock, respectively, for the conversion of Series A, Series B, Series C, and Series D preferred stock, the exercise and subsequent conversion of warrants, and the exercise of stock options.
 
Each share of common stock is entitled to one vote. The holders of common stock are also entitled to receive dividends whenever funds are legally available and when declared by the board of directors, subject to the prior rights of holders of all classes of stock outstanding.
 
In September 2004, the Company sold a total of 675,438 shares of its common stock to two newly-appointed members of the board of directors at $2.20 per share. In February 2006, the Company sold a total of 832,808 shares of its common stock to two existing stockholders at $0.92 per share. The per share prices were equal to the estimated fair value of the common stock at the dates of sale as determined by the board of directors. In August 2006, the Company sold 275,022 (unaudited) shares of its common stock to a newly-appointed member of the board of directors at $1.34 (unaudited) per share.
 
(a) Restricted Stock
 
At March 31, 2005 and 2006, and at December 31, 2006 (unaudited), the Company had 13,020,834 shares of common stock outstanding which are subject to restrictions as to transfer.
 
In October 2001, the Company granted 516,796 shares of restricted common stock to an executive officer at a purchase price of $0.50 per share, the fair market value of the common stock at the date of grant. The Company’s right to repurchase the shares lapsed over four years, 25% on the first anniversary of the grant, and the remainder in equal quarterly installments. The only risk of forfeiture was if the executive officer voluntarily terminated employment with the Company, in which case the Company may repurchase the unvested shares for the original purchase of $0.50 per share. In connection with the grant, the Company entered into a promissory note agreement with the executive officer for the purchase price of the stock (note 4). On February 24, 2004 the executive officer was terminated without cause. The Company agreed to repurchase all of the underlying vested and unvested restricted stock for approximately $379. The Company paid $0.50 per share for the unvested restricted shares in accordance with the restricted stock agreement. The Company paid $0.59 per share for the vested shares. The Company exchanged the outstanding promissory notes due from the executive officer for the purchase price of the shares.
 
In April and May 2002, the Company granted 86,140 and 172,322 shares of restricted common stock, respectively, to two executive officers at a purchase price of $0.50 per share, the fair market value of the common stock at the date of grant. The Company’s right to repurchase the shares lapses 6.25% at the end of each full calendar quarter from the date of grant. The Company’s repurchase price is equal to the officers’ original purchase price per share of $0.50. In

connection with the restricted stock agreements, the Company entered into promissory note agreements with the officers for the purchase price of the stock (note 4).
 
In April 2002, the Company provided two executive officers and all directors of the Company the opportunity to modify existing stock option agreements so that all options would become immediately exercisable as restricted stock. One officer and two directors elected to modify their agreements resulting in a total of 469,530 shares becoming exercisable. The Company’s right to repurchase the officers restricted shares lapsed 25% immediately and the remainder in equal quarterly installments beginning September 24, 2002. The Company’s right to repurchase the directors’ shares lapsed 33% immediately, 33% on January 24, 2003 and 33% on January 24, 2004. The Company’s right to repurchase these unvested shares which has expired was equal to the lesser of the officer or director’s original purchase price of $0.50 or the fair value per share on the date of repurchase. The Company entered into promissory note agreements with the officer and one of the directors for the purchase price of the stock (note 4), and the other director paid cash for the purchase price of approximately $38.
 
In June 2003, the Company granted 1,248,245 shares of restricted common stock to an executive officer of the Company at a purchase price of $0.10 per share, below the $0.52 fair market value of the common stock at the date of grant. The Company’s right to repurchase the shares lapsed 25% on the first anniversary of the officer’s hire date and an additional 6.25% lapsed each three full month period thereafter. The Company’s repurchase price is equal to the officers’ original purchase price per share of $0.10. The Company recorded a charge to deferred compensation of $534 related to this grant, and recognized compensation expense of $2 and $131 during the years ended March 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively.
 
On April 5, 2004, as part of a termination agreement with the executive officer referred to in the paragraph above, the Company agreed to accelerate the vesting of the executive’s shares of restricted stock by one year. As a result, vesting of 312,061 shares was accelerated. The Company recognized additional non-cash compensation expense of approximately $197 during the year ended March 31, 2005. Additionally, the Company exercised its right to repurchase the remaining 624,123 unvested shares of restricted stock at the original purchase price of $0.10 per share for a total of $62.
 
(b) Common Stock Warrant
 
On December 21, 2000, in connection with the issuance of the Series B preferred stock, the Company issued a warrant for the purchase of 40,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $0.50 per share. The warrant expired on December 21, 2005.
 
(9) Stock Options and Appreciation Rights
 
During the year ended March 31, 2001, the Company adopted the 2000 Stock Option Plan (the Option Plan) under which an initial 3,870,000 shares of the Company’s common stock was reserved for issuance to employees, directors, and consultants. The Option Plan was amended over the years to increase the number of shares reserved for issuance to a maximum of 11,779,856 in the year ended March 31, 2005, before reducing the aggregate number of shares reserved for issuance in July 2005 to a total of 10,270,000. Options granted under the Option

Notes to consolidated financial statements (continued)

Plan may be incentive stock options, nonqualified stock options, or restricted stock. Incentive stock options may only be granted to employees. The compensation committee of the board of directors determines the term of awards on an individual case basis. The exercise price of incentive stock options shall be no less than 100% of the fair market value per share of the Company’s common stock on the grant date. If an individual owns stock representing more than 10% of the outstanding shares, the price of each share shall be at least 110% of fair market value as determined by the board of directors.
 
In July 2005, Virtusa adopted the Virtusa Corporation 2005 Stock Appreciation Rights Plan (the SAR Plan). Under the SAR Plan, the Company may grant up to 1,500,000 stock appreciation rights (SARs) to employees and consultants of Virtusa and its foreign subsidiaries, and settle the SAR in cash or common stock, as set forth in the SAR Plan. In connection with the adoption of the SAR Plan, the Company reduced the number of shares reserved for issuance under the Option Plan by 1,500,000 shares, to 10,270,000, canceled options previously granted to certain non-U.S. employees, and issued SARs in replacement of the cancelled options that had the identical exercise price, exercise period after termination and vesting period as the canceled options. The SAR Plan generally restricts the exercise of the SARs at any time prior to the date of an initial public offering (IPO) of the Company’s common stock, unless the employee’s employment is terminated. Prior to an IPO, the SARs can only be settled in cash. After an IPO, the cash settlement feature of the SARs will cease and exercises will only be settled in shares of the Company’s common stock. After an IPO, the employee may also exercise the SAR during the term of employment and for 90 days post-termination.

10 years. The value of the 2004 non-employee options was not material at March 31, 2004 and no compensation was recognized.

2007. Additionally, the Company’s India subsidiary operates two Software Technology Parks (STPs) which qualify as Export Oriented Units and are exempt from India tax on business income through March 31, 2009.
 
The effect of the income tax holidays was to increase both earnings and diluted earnings per share in the years ended March 31, 2004, 2005 and 2006 and the nine months ended December 31, 2005 and 2006 by $532, $995, $1,173, $965 (unaudited) and $2,034 (unaudited), respectively, and by $0.03, $0.02, $0.03, $0.06 (unaudited) and $0.03 (unaudited), respectively.

The Company provided a full valuation allowance at March 31, 2005 and 2006 for the full amount of its deferred tax assets. Based on the weight of available evidence at those dates, it was determined more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets would not be realized. At December 31, 2006, the Company determined that it was more likely than not that most of its deferred tax assets would be realized based upon its positive cumulative operating results and its assessment of its expected future results. As a result, the Company released most of the valuation allowance and recognized a discrete income tax benefit of $4,956 (unaudited) in the consolidated statement of operations for the nine months ended December 31, 2006.
 
At December 31, 2006, the Company has federal and state net operating loss (NOL) carryforwards of approximately $11,518 (unaudited) and $7,590 (unaudited), respectively, which may be available to reduce future income tax liabilities, which expire at various dates through 2025. As of December 31, 2006, the Company had foreign NOL carryforwards of $307 (unaudited) which have no expiration date. The Company’s ability to utilize its NOL carryforwards may be limited due to changes in ownership of the Company as defined in Internal Revenue Code Section 382. Generally, an ownership change occurs when the ownership percentages of 5% or greater stockholders change by more than 50% over a three-year period.

The aggregate benefits expected to be paid in the five years from March 31, 2012 through March 31, 2016 are $1,052. The expected benefits are based on the same assumptions used to measure the Company’s benefit obligation at December 31, 2006 and include estimated future employee service.
 
(12) 401(k) Plan
 
The Company sponsors a defined contribution savings plan under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code (the 401(k) Plan). The 401(k) Plan covers substantially all employees in the United States who meet minimum age and service requirements and allows participants to contribute a portion of their annual compensation on a pretax basis. Company contributions to the 401(k) Plan may be made at the discretion of the board of directors. During the years ended March 31, 2004, 2005 and 2006 and the nine months period ended December 31, 2005, and 2006, the Company did not contribute to the 401(k) Plan.
 
For the years ended March 31, 2000 through March 31, 2005, Virtusa did not offer all temporary non-U.S. company employees of their offshore subsidiaries who were working in the United States the right to participate in the 401(k) Plan. The Company excluded these non-U.S.

F-39


Table of Contents

 
Virtusa Corporation and subsidiaries
Notes to consolidated financial statements (continued)

company employees from participation in the 401(k) Plan based on the belief that this retirement savings plan was strictly for U.S. company employees, and the fact that these non-U.S. company employees were covered by other retirement plans in their countries of permanent employment. During the year ended March 31, 2005, it came to the attention of the Company that excluding these non-U.S. company employees constituted a 401(k) Plan failure and including these employees in 401(k) testing calculations also resulted in testing failures. The Company has formally filed an application for settlement with the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (the IRS) under the Voluntary Correction Program that requires the Company to make a one time contribution of approximately $131 to cure both the plan and testing failures. During the years ended March 31, 2003, 2004 and 2005, the Company recognized $29, $47 and $55, respectively, of the settlement amount. The Company believes that the 401(k) Plan is in compliance with all IRS rules and regulations.

The Company is insured against any actual or alleged act, error, omission, neglect, misstatement or misleading statement or breach of duty by any current or former officer, director or employee while rendering information technology services. The Company believes that its financial exposure from such actual or alleged actions, should they arise, is minimal and no liability was recorded at December 31, 2006.
 
(15)  Derivative Financial Instruments and Trading Activities
 
During the years ended March 31, 2005 and 2006 and the nine months ended December 31, 2006, the Company entered into derivative foreign currency forward financial instruments with the objective of limiting its exposure to changes in the Indian rupee. These contracts did not qualify for hedge accounting under SFAS 133 Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities and, accordingly, the changes in fair value of these derivative instruments were recorded in current earnings. The Company uses quoted market prices from published sources or brokers to value these contracts. The notional purchase and notional sales amounts of these foreign currency contracts at March 31, 2005 and 2006 were $7,569 and $10,472, respectively. There were no foreign currency contracts outstanding at December 31, 2006. Foreign exchange losses on hedge contracts and changes in fair value of $0, $12 and $133 were recorded in the statement of operations for the years ended March 31, 2004, 2005 and 2006, respectively, and $247 (unaudited) and $202 (unaudited) for the nine month periods ended December 31, 2005 and 2006, respectively.

(17)  Subsequent Events
 
In March 2007, the Company entered into a Co-Developer Agreement and a Lease Deed with APIICL, a state government agency in India, by which the Company leased approximately 6.3 acres of land in Hyderabad, India for 99 years for a one-time payment of $364. Under the terms of the Lease Deed, the Company is required, within three years, to either create 857 permanent new IT software development jobs or expend at least approximately $15,000 to develop and outfit a facility at that site. Under the terms of the Lease Deed, the Company has issued a bank guarantee of $207 in order to collateralize a refund that would be due should the Company fail to hire the required number of new employees, in which case the bank guarantee would be forfeited to APIICL. Under the terms of the Co-Developer Agreement, the Company is required to expend at least 675,000,000 Indian rupees, or approximately $15,485, and construct a minimum of 250,000 square feet, within three years from the date of construction.
 
The Company had issued warrants to a bank to purchase 42,857 and 60,000 shares of the Company’s Series B preferred stock at an exercise price of $1.75 per share, subject to certain anti-dilutive adjustments, which are exercisable for a period of seven years, expiring in April, 2008 and February 2009, respectively (note 7). On March 23, 2007, the Company amended these warrant agreements to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock. The other terms and conditions of the warrant agreements remain unchanged.
 
On March 29, 2007, the Company issued 2,875,869 shares of common stock at $3.92 per share for gross proceeds of approximately $11,273 to a wholly-owned subsidiary of British Telecommunications plc (BT). The per share price was equal to the estimated fair value of the common stock at the date of sale as determined by Virtusa’s board of directors based upon a contemporaneous independent third-party valuation. The sale represents 4.99% of the Company’s outstanding common stock taking into consideration the Company’s redeemable convertible preferred stock, on an as-converted basis.
 
On March 29, 2007, the Company entered into a five-year IT services agreement with BT, which is premised upon BT making minimum aggregate expenditures of approximately $200,000 over the term of the agreement. In the event that BT fails to meet annual minimum expenditure

Notes to consolidated financial statements (continued)

targets, BT will lose any discounts under the agreement for the applicable annual period. In such event, BT is also obligated to pay an increasing percentage of any expenditure shortfall to the Company as liquidated damages. BT is entitled to increasing discounts for expenditures above annual minimum expenditure targets.
 
In February 2007, the Finance Minister of India proposed several changes to the Indian tax laws. The proposed changes include a service tax on rental property income, minimum alternative income tax and fringe benefit taxes, and increases in the corporate income and dividend distribution tax rates. The most significant proposal is the proposed change to the fringe benefit tax, which would impose an employer tax on stock compensation paid to the Company’s Indian employees and which would vary depending on the value of the Company’s stock. The Finance Minister’s proposal also included provisions to limit the tax benefit associated with Special Economic Zone tax holidays. The Company expects the proposed changes, subject to modification, to be put before the Indian Parliament during April 2007. The Company will be better able to evaluate the potential impact on earnings and cash flows when this proposal is finalized.
 
In March 2007, the Company’s Sri Lankan subsidiary was granted an income tax holiday which expires on March 31, 2019 by the Sri Lanka Board of Investment. The tax holiday is contingent upon the Company creating 1,025 jobs by March 31, 2010. Any inability to meet the agreed upon level or timetable for new job creation would jeopardize this holiday arrangement.
 
In February 2007 a note receivable from an officer totaling $53 (unaudited) including accrued interest at December 31, 2006 was repaid in full. During March 2007, a loan to a different officer totaling $27, as of December 31, 2006, was repaid in full.

Item 14. Indemnification of directors and officers.
 
Section 145(a) of the Delaware General Corporation Law provides, in general, that a corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation), because he or she is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by the person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding, if he or she acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful.
 
Section 145(b) of the Delaware General Corporation Law provides, in general, that a corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor because the person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred

by the person in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if he or she acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, except that no indemnification shall be made with respect to any claim, issue or matter as to which he or she shall have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation unless and only to the extent that the Court of Chancery or other adjudicating court determines that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all of the circumstances of the case, he or she is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the Court of Chancery or other adjudicating court shall deem proper.
 
Section 145(g) of the Delaware General Corporation Law provides, in general, that a corporation may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any liability asserted against such person and incurred by such person in any such capacity, or arising out of his or her status as such, whether or not the corporation would have the power to indemnify the person against such liability under Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law.
 
Article VII of our certificate of incorporation, provides that no director of our company shall be personally liable to us or our stockholders for monetary damages for any breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability (1) for any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to us or our stockholders, (2) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (3) in respect of unlawful dividend payments or stock redemptions or repurchases, or (4) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit. In addition, our certificate of incorporation provides that if the Delaware General Corporation Law is amended to authorize the further elimination or limitation of the liability of directors, then the liability of a director of our company shall be eliminated or limited to the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law, as so amended.
 
Article VII of the certificate of incorporation further provides that any repeal or modification of such article by our stockholders or an amendment to the Delaware General Corporation Law will not adversely affect any right or protection existing at the time of such repeal or modification with respect to any acts or omissions occurring before such repeal or modification of a director serving at the time of such repeal or modification.
 
Article V of our by-laws, provides that we will indemnify each of our directors and officers and, in the discretion of our board of directors, certain employees, to the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law as the same may be amended (except that in the case of an amendment, only to the extent that the amendment permits us to provide broader indemnification rights than the Delaware General Corporation Law permitted us to provide prior to such the amendment) against any and all expenses, judgments, penalties, fines and amounts reasonably paid in settlement that are incurred by the director, officer or such employee or on the director’s, officer’s or employee’s behalf in connection with any threatened, pending or completed proceeding or any claim, issue or matter therein, to which he or she is or is threatened to be made a party because he or she is or was serving as a director, officer or employee of our company, or at our request as a director, partner, trustee, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise, if he or she acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of our company and, with respect to any criminal

proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful. Article V of the by-laws further provides for the advancement of expenses to each of our directors and, in the discretion of the board of directors, to certain officers and employees.
 
In addition, Article V of the by-laws provides that the right of each of our directors and officers to indemnification and advancement of expenses shall be a contract right and shall not be exclusive of any other right now possessed or hereafter acquired under any statute, provision of the certificate of incorporation or by-laws, agreement, vote of stockholders or otherwise. Furthermore, Article V of the by-laws authorizes us to provide insurance for our directors, officers and employees, against any liability, whether or not we would have the power to indemnify such person against such liability under the Delaware General Corporation Law or the provisions of Article V of the by-laws.
 
In connection with the sale of common stock being registered hereby, we intend to enter into indemnification agreements with each of our directors and our executive officers. These agreements will provide that we will indemnify each of our directors and such officers to the fullest extent permitted by law and the certificate of incorporation and by-laws.
 
We also maintain a general liability insurance policy which covers certain liabilities of directors and officers of our company arising out of claims based on acts or omissions in their capacities as directors or officers.
 
In any underwriting agreement we enter into in connection with the sale of common stock being registered hereby, the underwriters will agree to indemnify, under certain conditions, us, our directors, our officers and persons who control us within the meaning of the Securities Act against certain liabilities.
 
Item 15.   Recent sales of unregistered securities.
 
In the three years preceding the filing of this registration statement, we have issued the following securities that were not registered under the Securities Act:
 
Issuances of capital stock
 
In February 2004, we raised approximately $20 million through the issuance of 7,458,494 shares of series D convertible participating preferred stock. Each share of series D convertible participating preferred stock will convert into one share of common stock upon the closing of this offering. No underwriters were used in this transaction.
 
In October 2004, in connection with Mr. Maheu joining our board of directors, we issued and sold to TNR Partnership, a trust whose general partner is the spouse of Mr. Maheu, an aggregate of 15,000 shares of our common stock at $2.20 per share for aggregate consideration of $33,000.
 
In October 2004, in connection with Mr. Trust joining our board of directors, we issued and sold to Mr. Trust an aggregate of 660,438 shares of our common stock at $2.20 per share for aggregate consideration of $1,452,964.
 
In February 2006, we issued and sold to TNR Partnership an aggregate of 35,870 shares of our common stock at $0.92 per share for aggregate consideration of $33,000.


II-3


Table of Contents

 
In February 2006, we issued and sold to the Martin Trust Florida Intangible Tax Trust (a trust created on behalf of Mr. Trust) an aggregate of 796,938 shares of our common stock at $0.92 per share for an aggregate consideration of $733,183.
 
In August 2006, in connection with Mr. Moriarty joining our board of directors, we issued and sold to Mr. Moriarty an aggregate 275,022 shares of our common stock at $1.34 per share for an aggregate consideration of $368,529.
 
In March 2007, we issued and sold to a wholly-owned subsidiary of BT an aggregate of 2,875,869 shares of common stock at a per share price of $3.92 for aggregate consideration of $11.3 million.
 
Each of the foregoing sales of securities were made in reliance upon the exemption for registration provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act (and/or Regulation D promulgated thereunder) for transactions by an issuer not involving a public offering. All of the foregoing securities are deemed restricted securities for the purposes of the Securities Act.
 
Grants and exercise of stock options’ awards of restricted stock
 
Since April 1, 2004, we granted options to purchase an aggregate of 1,809,188 shares of common stock with exercise prices ranging from $0.76 to $3.22 per share to employees located in India, Sri Lanka and the United Kingdom pursuant to our 2000 Stock Option Plan. Since July 2005, we granted 816,009 SARS with exercise prices ranging from $0.50 to $3.22 to employees located in India and Sri Lanka pursuant to our SAR Plan. We believe that the issuances of these options and SARs were exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act by virtue of the exemption set forth in Regulation S under the Securities Act for sales of securities to non-U.S. persons in offshore transactions. Each of those option and SAR recipients was a non-U.S. person at the time the options and SARs were granted and we obtained appropriate representations and covenants to ensure compliance with the requirements of Regulation S.
 
From April 1, 2004 through June 2005, we granted options pursuant to our 2000 Stock Option Plan to purchase an aggregate of 2,481,318 shares of common stock with exercise prices ranging from $0.95 to $2.30 per share to officers, employees, non-employee directors and consultants located in the United States. We believe that these grants were exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act by virtue of a “no-sale” theory under Section 5 of the Securities Act, since none of the option recipients provided any consideration for the grants (the sale of the underlying option shares will only occur when the option is exercised and the purchase price is paid to us). We also believe the grants are exempt from registration under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act (and/or Regulation D promulgated thereunder) for transactions by an issuer not involving a public offering.
 
From July 2005 through February 27, 2007, we granted options to purchase an aggregate of 2,083,257 shares of common stock with exercise prices ranging from $0.76 to $3.22 per share to employees, consultants and non-employee directors located in the U.S. pursuant to our 2000 Stock Option Plan. We believe that these grants are exempt from registration under the Securities Act by virtue of the exemption available under Rule 701 of the Securities Act for securities offered under compensatory plans. With regard to our reliance on Rule 701, all such option grants were to employees, consultants and directors pursuant to compensatory benefit


II-4


Table of Contents

plans and contracts relating to compensation as provided under Rule 701. We also believe that the grants are exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act by virtue of a “no-sale” theory under Section 5 of the Securities Act, since none of the option recipients provided any consideration for the grants (the sale of the underlying option shares will only occur when the option is exercised and the purchase price is paid to us). In addition, we believe that the grants were exempt from registration under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act (and/or Regulation D promulgated thereunder) for transactions by an issuer not involving a public offering.
 
On September 22, 2004, we granted options to purchase an aggregate of 2,720,144 shares of common stock with an exercise price of $2.20 per share to an officer and a non-employee director outside of our 2000 Stock Plan. Of these option grants, in November 2005, we repriced the stock option to the officer that was exercisable for 2,500,000 shares of common stock from $2.20 to $0.76 per share. We believe that these grants are exempt from registration under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act (and/or Regulation D promulgated thereunder) for transactions by an issuer not involving a public offering.
 
From November 4, 2005 to December 31, 2006, we issued 80,062 shares of common stock upon the exercise by six individuals of options described in the second and third paragraph above with exercise prices ranging from $0.50 to $2.00 per share. We believe that these issuances are exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act by virtue of Section 4(2) of the Securities Act (and/or Rule 701 of the Securities Act and/or Section 4(2) of the Securities Act (and/or Regulation D promulgated thereunder) for transactions by an issuer not involving a public offering.

Item 17.  Undertakings.
 
(a) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to provide to the underwriter at the closing specified in the underwriting agreements, certificates in such denominations and registered in such names as required by the underwriter to permit prompt delivery to each purchaser.
 
(b) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
 
(c) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that:
 
(i) For purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of this registration statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a form of prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1) or (4) or 497(h) under the Securities Act of 1933 shall be deemed to be part of this registration statement as of the time it was declared effective.

(ii) For the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
