LOSS OF CLIENT</b> </div> <div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">In September 2007, pursuant to the bankruptcy of First Magnus Financial Corporation (“FMFC”), a US mortgage service company which was a client acquired in connection with the acquisition of Trinity Partners, Inc. (“Trinity”) and the continuing weakness and uncertainty in the US mortgage market, the Company tested the goodwill and intangible assets related to the acquisition of Trinity. The Company concluded that the entire goodwill and intangibles acquired in the purchase of Trinity were impaired. Accordingly, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $8,889 for the goodwill, $6,359 for the intangibles and $216 for other assets in the WNS Global BPO segment during the year ended March 31, 2008. The amount of the claims filed by the Company in FMFC’s Chapter 11 case total $15,575. In a judgment passed by the bankruptcy court in 2009, the claim filed by WNS amounting to $11,679 on account of loss of profit from the remainder of the minimum revenue commitment has been denied. The Company appealed against this order before the Bankruptcy Appellate Court, Tucson, Arizona. On August 31, 2010, the appellate Court passed judgment in the Company’s favor thereby reversing the orders passed by the Bankruptcy Court and remanded the matter back to the Bankruptcy Court. In the same matter, the liquidating trustee, appointed by the bankruptcy court, filed a petition against the Company claiming a refund of payments made by FMFC to the Company during the 90 days period immediately prior to its filing of the bankruptcy petition. FMFC paid a sum of $4,000 during the period from May 22, 2007 through August 21, 2007. All these payments were made in the ordinary course of business and were against the undisputed invoices of the services provided by the Company to FMFC during the relevant period. </div> <div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">On August 31, 2010, the Company entered into a settlement agreement with the liquidating trustee pursuant to which the liquidating trustee agreed to allow the Company’s claims to the extent of $11,679 and dismissal of the liquidating trustee’s claim of $4,000 for payments made by FMFC to the Company and the Company agreed to make a settlement payment of $50 to the liquidating trustee. On October 3, 2010, the Bankruptcy Court approved the settlement agreement and on October 13, 2010 the Company made the settlement payment of $50 to the liquidating trustee. At this stage the Company cannot confirm the amount which it can realize from the allowed claims. In fiscal 2008, the Company had provided for the entire amount due from FMFC. </div> </div>  <!-- Begin Block Tagged NotefalsefalsefalsefalsefalseOtherus-types:textBlockItemTypestringThis item represents disclosure relating to impairment of long lived assets.No authoritative reference available.falsefalseLOSS OF CLIENT12LOSS OF CLIENTUnKnownUnKnownUnKnownUnKnownfalsetrue
