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 by dividing net income by the average number of
shares outstanding during the applicable period adjusted for these potentially
dilutive options.

The following table sets forth the computation of earnings per share.
Outstanding shares have been restated to reflect the 3:2 stock split for all
periods presented.

for the first three months of 1999, all of which were completed before December
31, 1999. Excluding the impact of Year 2000 remediation engagements,
Applications Outsourcing revenues for the first quarter of 1999 would have been
$18.1 million and gross margins would have been $7.1 million.


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 increased
4.4% to $40.5 million in the first quarter of 2000 from $38.8 million in the
first quarter of 1999. Worldwide billable headcount, including personnel
employed by Syntel India, Singapore, and Syntel Europe, as of March 31, 2000
decreased to 1,421 compared to 1,456 as of March 31, 1999.

Applications Outsourcing Revenues. Applications Outsourcing revenues decreased
to $18.9 million for the first quarter of 2000, or 46.7% of total revenues, from
$24.1 million, or 62.1% of first quarter revenues for 1999. The $5.2 million
decrease in revenues was attributable primarily to the completion of Year 2000
remediation projects that contributed revenues of $6.0 million in the first
quarter of 1999 as well as the completion of outsourcing and development
projects that contributed $2.3 million in the first quarter of 1999. These were
partially offset by net growth in several engagements as well as new
engagements, which combined, contributed approximately $3.1 million in the first
quarter 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 52.5% of total Applications
Outsourcing revenues for the first quarter of 2000, from 57.2% for the first
quarter of 1999. The decrease in cost of revenues as a percent of revenues was
attributable primarily to a release of warranty reserves that were no longer
deemed necessary in the first quarter of 2000, contributing approximately 7.4%
to the reduction in cost of revenues as a percent of revenues; partially offset
by high margin Year 2000 remediation engagements during the first quarter of
1999 as well as increased compensation levels on existing engagements of 2.0%
and 0.7%, respectively

e-Business Revenues. e-Business revenues increased to $11.4 million for the
first quarter of 2000, or 28.2% of total consolidated revenues, from $3.7
million, or 9.5% of total consolidated revenues for the first quarter of 1999.
The $7.7 million increase was attributable principally to the acquisitions of
Metier, Inc. and IMG, Inc., as well as new engagements, contributing
approximately $4.2 million and $3.5 million, respectively, to the increase in
e-business 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
72.8% of total e-Business revenues for the first quarter of 2000, from 65.2% for
the first quarter of 1999. The increase in costs of revenues as a percent of
revenues was attributable principally to reduced consultant utilization levels
due to temporary softness in the Oracle marketplace and the establishment of a
loss reserve for a fixed price engagement that is expected to require more
resources than previously anticipated; contributing approximately 11.0% and
3.0%, respectively, to the increase in cost of revenues; partially offset by
improved gross margins on non-Oracle engagements, contributing approximately
6.4%.




                                       8




<PAGE>   9

TeamSourcing Revenues. TeamSourcing revenues decreased to $10.1 million for the
first quarter of 2000, or 25.1% of total revenues, down from $11.0 million, or
28.4% of total revenues for the first quarter of 1999. The $0.9 million revenue
decrease was attributable primarily to a $1.7 million reduction due to a
decrease in U.S. based billable consultants in various engagements, partially
offset by billing rate increases of $0.8 million.

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
71.4% of TeamSourcing revenues for the first quarter of 2000, from 70.3% for the
first quarter of 1999. The increase in cost of revenues as a percent of total
TeamSourcing revenues was attributable primarily to increased travel,
relocation, and training costs, as well as increased compensation costs in
relation to respective bill rates, contributing approximately 0.6% and .5%,
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 March 31,
2000 were $9.0 million, or 22.2% of total revenues, compared to $7.2 million or
18.7% of total revenues for the three months ended March 31, 1999. The $1.8
million increase in selling, general, and administrative costs was primarily
attributable to acquisition related operating costs and associated goodwill,
contributing $1.7 million and $0.3, respectively to the increase in sales,
general, and administrative costs; partially offset by savings in marketing,
recruiting, and other administrative expenses, which combined, contributing
savings of approximately $0.2 million.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company generally has financed its working capital needs through operations.
Net cash generated by operating activities was $1.3 million for the first three
months of 2000, compared to $2.2 million for the first three months of 1999. The
number of days sales outstanding in accounts receivable was approximately 53
days and 52 days as of March 31, 2000 and March 31, 1999, respectively.

Net cash used in investing activities was $1.1 million and $0.4 million for the
first three months 2000 and 1999, respectively. Cash used for investing
activities for the first three months of 2000 consisted principally of
capitalized software development costs of approximately $0.8 and computer
equipment of $0.3 million. Cash used for investing activities for the first
three months of 1999 consisted primarily of capitalized development costs of
$0.2 million and computer equipment of $0.2 million.

Net cash generated in financing activities for the first three months of 2000
consisted primarily of $0.4 million from the issuance of stock from the employee
option program. Net cash used in financing activities for the three months ended
March 31, 1999 consisted primarily of the purchase of 65,000 shares of treasury
stock for $0.6 million.

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, 2000. 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 March 31, 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, 2000. The
Company has not borrowed any amounts under this facility. The Company intends to




                                       9

renew both the $40 million and the $20 million line of credit before the
expiration date. The Company believes that the 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.
