 I.  FINANCIAL RESULTS
 
 GSS America Infotech Limited with focus in IT Infrastructure and
 Software Services sectors reported Revenues of Rs.  29870 Lakhs for the
 year ending 31.03.2008 and the Profit before Tax for the same period is
 at Rs.6966 Lakhs.
 
 The Company’s financial results (unconsolidated & consolidated) for the
 year ended March 31, 2008 is provided in the Annual Report.
 
 Overall Revenues of the Company at Rs.29870 Lakhs, showed a growth of
 81.82% over previous year revenues of Rs.16428 Lakhs due to excellent
 demand for the Company’s integrated service approach for IT
 Infrastructure and Software Services delivery Model.
 
 The Profit before Tax of the Company for the year ended 31.03.2008 is
 Rs.6966 Lakhs. Compared to the previous year Profit before Tax of
 Rs.3760 Lakhs, the Company has recorded an impressive growth of 85.10%.
 This growth has been made possible due to the enlargement of operations
 and consequent economies as well as improved management of costs.
 However, the lower growth in the PAT is largely due to provision of
 Minimum Alternate Tax and amortization of goodwill arising of our
 acquisitions made.
 
 Earnings per Share’ on the expanded equity due to the Initial Public
 Offering in the Month of Feb 08 is about Rs.47.
 
 The Company has had a very good year and is poised to continue its
 growth trend during the current year. The acquisition of System Dynamix
 Corporation in the United States (US) was completed during Jan- Mar
 2008 quarter and is expected to contribute to revenues for full year
 basis in the year 2008-09. We have planned a slew of initiatives,
 particularly in IT Infrastructure division to rapidly take advantage of
 emerging opportunities in these areas.
