6.  EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income by the average
number of shares outstanding during the applicable period. The Company has stock
options which are considered to be potentially dilutive to common stock. Diluted
earnings per share is calculated considering these potentially dilutive options.

The following table sets forth the computation of earnings per share.

PART I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS.

SYNTEL INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


Revenues. The Company's revenues consist of fees derived from its Applications
Outsourcing, e-Business, and TeamSourcing business segments. Revenues decreased
3.4% to $41.1 million in the third quarter of 2000 from $42.6 million in the
third quarter of 1999. Worldwide billable headcount, including personnel
employed by Syntel India, Singapore, and Syntel Europe, as of September 30, 2000
increased to 1,579 compared to 1,366 as of September 30, 1999.

Applications Outsourcing Revenues. Applications Outsourcing revenues increased
to $23.5 million for the third quarter of 2000, or 57.1% of total revenues, from
$18.8 million, or 44.2% of third quarter revenues for 1999. Revenues for the
first nine months of 2000 decreased to $64.9 million, or 52.5% of total
revenues, from $66.9 million, or 55.2% of total revenues for the first nine
months of 1999. The increase in third quarter 2000 revenues over the third
quarter 1999 was attributable principally the new business engagements of
approximately $6.6 million, partially offset by the completion of Y2K
remediation engagements that contributed approximately $1.1 million in the third
quarter of 1999, as well as the completion of development projects that
contributed approximately $0.8 million in the third quarter of 1999. The $2.0
million decrease for the first nine months of 2000 were attributable principally
to the completion of Year 2000 remediation projects that contributed $11.5
million for the first nine months of 1999. The loss of Y2K revenues was largely
offset by net growth in several engagements as well as new engagements, which
combined, contributed approximately $9.5 million for the first nine months of
2000.

Applications Outsourcing Cost of Revenues. Cost of revenues consist of costs
directly associated with billable consultants in the US and offshore, including
salaries, payroll taxes, benefits, relocation costs, immigration costs, finders
fees, trainee compensation, travel, and warranty reserves. Applications
Outsourcing costs of revenues decreased to 56.8% of total Applications
Outsourcing revenues for the third quarter of 2000, from 58.0% for the third
quarter of 1999. Costs of revenues for the first nine months of 2000 decreased
to 56.2% of total Applications Outsourcing revenues, from 56.9% for the first
nine months



                                       8

<PAGE>   9

of 1999. The 1.2% decrease in cost of revenues as a percent of revenues for the
third quarter was attributable primarily to an increase in the higher margin
offshore component of the overall services, contributing approximately 6.1% to
the increased margin. This was partially offset by decreased margins on existing
engagements due principally to increasing compensation levels and high margin
Y2K remediation engagements completed in 1999, contributing approximately 2.8%
and 1.8%, respectively. The 0.7% decrease in cost of revenues for the first nine
months of 2000 was attributable primarily to a release of warranty reserves that
were no longer deemed necessary in the first quarter of 2000, contributing
approximately 4.3% to the reduction in cost of revenues as a percent of
revenues; partially offset by a 1.8% increase in the cost of revenues due to the
completion of high margin Year 2000 remediation engagements during the first
nine months of 1999 and compensation rates of approximately 1.8%.

e-Business Revenues. e-Business revenues decreased to $10.6 million for the
third quarter of 2000, or 25.9% of total consolidated revenues, from $13.5
million, or 31.7% of total consolidated revenues for the third quarter of 1999.
Revenues for the first nine months of 2000 increased to $33.0 million, or 26.7%
of total revenues, from $22.6 million, or 18.7% of total revenues for the first
nine months of 1999. The $2.9 million decrease for the third quarter was
attributable principally to a $6.0 million decrease in Metier revenues,
partially offset by new business growth in IMG revenues and other e-business
engagements of $1.0 million and $2.1 million, respectively. The $10.4 million
increase for the first nine months were attributable primarily to growth in
other e-business revenues of $7.6 million and the acquisitions of Metier, Inc.
and IMG, Inc., which combined contributed $2.8 million to the increased
revenues.

e-Business Cost of Revenues. e-Business cost of revenues consist of costs
directly associated with billable consultants in the US and offshore, including
salaries, payroll taxes, benefits, relocation costs, immigration costs, finders
fees, trainee compensation, and travel. e-Business cost of revenues increased to
65.3% of total e-Business revenues for the third quarter of 2000, from 62.3% for
the third quarter of 1999. The 3.0% increase in cost of revenues as a percent of
revenues was attributable principally to decreased utilization levels and the
wind-down of a large fixed price engagement, contributing approximately 5.8% and
0.9% respectively, to the decreased margins. These were partially offset by
decreased compensation costs in relation to respective bill rates of
approximately 3.7%. The decrease in utilization levels was due principally to a
significant increase in training activities. For the first nine months of 2000,
e-business costs of revenues increased to 67.2% of total e-business revenues,
from 64.0% for the first nine months of 1999. The 3.2% increase was attributable
principally to reduced consultant utilization levels due to softness in the
Oracle marketplace as well as increased training activities, contributing
approximately 7.1% to the decrease in gross margins, largely offset by improved
margins from existing engagements, contributing approximately 3.9% to the gross
margins.

TeamSourcing Revenues. TeamSourcing revenues decreased to $7.0 million for the
third quarter of 2000, or 17.0% of total revenues, down from $10.2 million, or
24.1% of total revenues for the third quarter of 1999. For the first nine months
of 2000, Teamsourcing revenues decreased to $25.7 million, or 20.8% of total
revenues, down from $31.6 million, or 26.1% of total revenues for the first nine
months of 1999. Both the $3.2 million decrease for the third quarter as well as
the $5.9 million decrease for the first nine months of 2000 were due principally
to decreases in U.S. based billable consultants on various engagements, the
result of an organizational focus away from this segment.

TeamSourcing Cost of Revenues. TeamSourcing cost of revenues consist of costs
directly associated with billable consultants in the US, including salaries,
payroll taxes, benefits, relocation costs, immigration costs, finders fees,
trainee compensation, and travel. TeamSourcing cost of revenues increased to
81.9% of TeamSourcing revenues for the third quarter of 2000, from 69.7% for the
third quarter of 1999. The 12.2% increase in cost of revenues as a percent of
total TeamSourcing revenues was attributable primarily to decreased utilization,
increased compensation and benefit costs in relation to respective bill rates,
and one less business day, contributing approximately 4.5%, 5.2%, and 1.5% to
the decreased margins. The cost of revenues as a percent of revenues increased
to 76.5% of total TeamSourcing revenues for the nine month period ended
September 30, 2000, from 70.6% for the nine month period ending September 30,

1999. The 5.9% increase was attributable principally to increased compensation
costs in relation to respective bill rates, decreased utilization, and increased
travel and relocation costs, contributing approximately 2.9%, 2.6%, and 0.2%,
respectively, to the decreased margins.

Selling, General, and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general, and
administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries, payroll taxes and
benefits for sales, solutions, delivery, finance, administrative, and corporate
staff, travel, telecommunications, business promotions, marketing and various
facility costs for the Company's Global Development Centers and various offices.
Selling, general, and administrative costs for the three months ended September
30, 2000 were $8.3 million, or 20.3% of total revenues, compared to $9.5 million
or 22.3% of total revenues for the three months ended September 30, 1999. The
$1.2 million decrease was attributable principally to savings in administrative
costs at Metier and IMG, Metier goodwill amortization, and savings in recruiting
and TeamSourcing sales, contributing approximately $0.5 million, $0.3 million,
and $0.3 million, respectively. Selling, general, and administrative costs
increased to $25.8 million, or 20.9% of total revenues for the nine month period
ending September 30, 2000, from $24.1 million, or $19.9% of total revenues for
the same period in 1999. The $1.7 million increase was attributable principally
to acquisition related operating costs and associated goodwill, contributing
$1.4 million and $0.3, respectively to the increase in sales, general, and
administrative costs.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

In recent history, the Company has financed its working capital needs through
operations. Net cash generated by operating activities was $7.6 million for the
first nine months of 2000, compared to $12.8 million for the first nine months
of 1999. The number of days sales outstanding in accounts receivable was
approximately 79 days and 51 days as of September 30, 2000 and September 30,
1999, respectively. The increase in days was due principally to delayed payments
from several large customers, most of which has since been received, as well as
some non-recurring billing delays which occurred in the third quarter of 2000.

Net cash used in investing activities was $5.8 million and $17.4 million for the
first nine months of 2000 and 1999, respectively. Cash used for investing
activities for the first nine months of 2000 consisted principally of equity
investments of approximately $2.7 million, capitalized software development
costs of approximately $1.6, and computer and communications equipment of $1.5
million. Cash used for investing activities for the first nine months of 1999
consisted primarily of $15.9 million in cash payments related to the
acquisitions of Metier and IMG, capitalized development costs of $0.9 million
and computer equipment of $0.5 million.

Net cash used in financing activities for the first nine months of 2000
consisted primarily of common stock repurchases of $1.4 million, partially
offset by $1.1 million from the issuance of stock from the employee stock option
and stock purchase programs. Net cash used in financing activities for the nine
months ended September 30, 1999 consisted primarily of common stock repurchases
of $1.1 million, partially offset by $0.1 million in proceeds received from the
exercising of stock options.

The Company has a line of credit with Bank One which provides for borrowings of
up to $40.0 million. The line of credit expires on August 31, 2001. The line of
credit contains covenants restricting the Company from, among other things,
incurring additional debt, issuing guarantees and creating liens on the
Company's property, without prior consent of the bank. The line of credit also
requires the Company to maintain certain tangible net worth levels and leverage
ratios. At September 30, 2000, there was no indebtedness outstanding under the
line of credit. Borrowings under the line of credit bear interest at the lower
of the Eurodollar rate plus the applicable Eurodollar margin, the bank's prime
rate or a negotiated rate established with the bank at the time of borrowing. In
addition to the bank line of credit, the Company has a $20.0 million facility
with Bank One to finance acquisitions which also expires on August 31, 2001. The
Company has not borrowed any amounts under this facility. The Company believes
that the

                                       10

combination of present cash balances and future operating cash flows will be
sufficient to meet the Company's currently anticipated cash requirements for at
least the next 12 months.
