Notwithstanding the foregoing, we have increased our gross margin from negative 2.49% for the three months ended September 30, 2002 to positive 23.06% for the three months ended September 30, 2003. On a year to date basis, our net margin has increased from 9.20% for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 to 28.43% for the nine months ended September 30, 2003. In addition, our working capital deficit has decreased significantly from $1,294,985 at December 31, 2002 to $872,191 at September 30, 2003. Subsequent to the end of the quarter, WNS has completed the acquisition of TCENet Inc. and a $325,000 private placement, which, combined with current positive cash flows from operations, has significantly improved working capital," said Alykhan Mamdani, CFO.

"We have now completed the operational integration of TCENet Inc., which we acquired as of October 1, 2003. Over the course of the next 3 months, we look to strengthening our core competencies to solidify our client delivery and tightly integrate our combined offering. Interim results subsequent to the quarter ended September 30, 2003 have already shown that the combined company is significantly stronger both operationally and financially," said George Watson, President and CEO.
