This excerpt taken from the INFY 6-K filed Jul 28, 2005.

Our failure to complete fixed-price, fixed-timeframe contracts within budget and on time may negatively affect our profitability.

                  As an element of our business strategy, we offer a portion of our services on a fixed-price, fixed-timeframe basis, rather than on a time-and-materials basis. In the three months ended June 30, 2005, fiscal 2005 and 2004, revenues from fixed-price, fixed-timeframe projects accounted for 28.6%, 30.0% and 33.7% of our total services revenues. Although we use our software engineering methodologies and processes and past project experience to reduce the risks associated with estimating, planning and performing fixed-price, fixed-timeframe projects, we bear the risk of cost overruns, completion delays and wage inflation in connection with these projects. If we fail to estimate accurately the resources and time required for a project, future wage inflation rates, or currency exchange rates, or if we fail to complete our contractual obligations within the contracted timeframe, our profitability may suffer.
