Note 2: LINE OF CREDIT AND LONG-TERM DEBT



On June 24, 2005, we entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the Credit Facility).



The Credit Facility, which amended our existing three-year $100.0 million revolving credit facility, is structured as a $125.0 million secured revolving facility with a
$5.0 million sub-limit for swing line loans and a $30.0 million sub-limit for multicurrency borrowings. The Credit Facility includes a $50.0 million accordion feature, which will allow us to increase our borrowing capacity to $175.0 million, subject
to obtaining commitments for the incremental capacity from existing or new lenders. The amendment extends the maturity date from December 2, 2006 to June 24, 2010.



Borrowings under the Credit Facility can bear interest at various rates, depending upon the type of loan. We have two borrowing options,
either a Base Rate option, under which interest rate is calculated using the higher of the federal funds rate plus 0.5% or the Bank of America prime rate, plus a spread ranging from 0% to 0.75%, or a Eurocurrency Rate option,
under which interest rate is calculated using LIBOR plus a spread ranging from 1.00% to 2.25%. The amount of the spread under each borrowing option depends on our ratio of funded debt to EBITDA (which, for purposes of the Credit Facility, is defined
as income before interest expense, interest income, income taxes, and depreciation and amortization and certain other charges).



The Credit Facility contains certain affirmative and negative covenants including limitations on specified levels of consolidated leverage, consolidated fixed charges and
minimum net worth requirements, and includes limitations on, among other things, liens, mergers, consolidations, sales of assets, incurrence of debt and capital expenditures. We are also required to pay a quarterly commitment fee ranging from 0.20%
to 0.50% of the unused amount. Under the Credit Facility, upon the occurrence of an event of default, such as non-payment or failure to observe specific covenants, the lenders would be entitled to declare all amounts outstanding under the facility
immediately due and payable.



We incurred $592,000 of debt issuance costs
associated with the Credit Facility. These costs have been deferred and are being amortized over the five-year term of the Credit Facility. The unamortized issuance costs associated with the original credit facility of $306,000 will continue to be
amortized over the new five-year term.



Prior to the end of September 2005, we
repaid $9.0 million of the amounts outstanding under our Credit Facility. The payment was made out of one of our operating accounts. At the time the payment was made, this operating account had insufficient funds (approximately $4.8 million short)
to cover the payment, and we needed to transfer
the funds from another operating account to cover this shortage. Accordingly, our financial statements reflect a book overdraft liability of approximately
$4.8 million. On October 4, 2005, the transfer of funds between our banks was completed.



At September 30, 2005, $38.0 million of borrowings was outstanding under the Credit Facility and was classified as a long-term liability. At September 30, 2005, there were no outstanding foreign currency
loans nor were there any outstanding letters of credit. The amount of the unused Credit Facility at September 30, 2005 was $87.0 million. The Credit Facility can be drawn upon through June 24, 2010, at which time all amounts outstanding
must be repaid. Borrowings under the Credit Facility are collateralized by substantially all of our assets, as well as the capital stock of our subsidiaries. As of September 30, 2005, we were in compliance with all covenants contained in the
Credit Facility.



Note 3: EARNINGS PER SHARE AND STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION



We follow Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS)
No. 128, Earnings Per Share. Basic earnings per share (Basic EPS) is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding. Diluted earnings per share (Diluted EPS) is computed by
dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding, after giving effect to the potential dilution from the exercise of securities, such as stock options, into shares of common stock as if those securities were
exercised. A reconciliation of shares used to compute EPS is shown below:

|(1) | Excluded from the calculation of diluted shares is the effect of the exercise of options to purchase 355,000 and 723,000 shares for the three months ended September 30, 2005
and 2004, respectively and 538,000 and 402,000 shares for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively, as giving effect to such exercises would be antidilutive.

We use the intrinsic value method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation in
accordance with Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related interpretations. Deferred compensation is recorded for option grants to employees for the amount, if
any, by which the market price per share exceeds the exercise price per share at the measurement date, which is generally the grant date. Typically, the exercise price of the options equals the market price at the date of grant. For the three and
nine-month periods ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, we did not record any stock-based compensation expense. For
option grants to non-employees, we apply fair value accounting in accordance with SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation and
Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue 96-18, Accounting for Equity Instruments That Are Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling, Goods or Services.



Had compensation cost for our stock-based compensation plans been determined under SFAS
No. 123, net income and earnings per share would have been decreased to the following pro forma amounts:

The weighted average fair value of the
options granted during the three months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004 is estimated at $7.01 and $5.87 per share, respectively. The weighted average fair value of the options granted during the nine months ended September 30, 2005 and
2004 is estimated at $6.99 and $8.01 per share, respectively. These estimates, calculated on the date of grant, are derived from the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions:

Note 5: LEGAL PROCEEDINGS



From time to time, we are involved in litigation incidental to our business. Litigation can be expensive and disruptive to normal business
operations. Moreover, results of complex legal proceedings are difficult to predict.



In 1998, William Shingleton filed a class action lawsuit against us in the Circuit Court of Berkeley County, West Virginia (the Court). The lawsuit alleged that the Company and twelve current and former members of management had
violated the West Virginia Wage Payment and Collection Act (the Wage Act) for failure to pay promised signing and incentive bonuses and wage increases, failure to compensate employees for short breaks or transition periods,
and production hours worked and improper deductions for the cost of purchasing telephone headsets.



On March 1, 2005, we announced a settlement with the plaintiffs in this litigation. Under the terms of the settlement, we, without admitting any liability or wrongdoing, agreed to pay $14.75 million to the
plaintiff class to settle all allegations relating to unpaid wages, bonuses and other claims, as well as payments for liquidated damages allowed by West Virginia law of 30 days of wages plus interest, which was being sought for all class members
regardless of the amount of wages allegedly unpaid.



Because this settlement
was a subsequent event that occurred prior to the release of our consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2004, and provided additional evidence on a matter that existed at the balance sheet date, we reflected the
financial outcome of this settlement in our consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2004.



Our accrual at December 31, 2004 was $14.8 million, which included the settlement amount disclosed above and a small amount for certain payroll taxes. In March 2005 we made payments of $14.8 million to satisfy
our obligations under the settlement. This payment was funded partially with cash-on-hand and partially with borrowings under our Credit Facility.



On June 27, 2005, the Court approved the proposed settlement agreement that was announced on March 1, 2005. In September 2005, the settlement was distributed to
the class. As of September 30, 2005, we have no accruals remaining related to the Shingleton litigation.



We sought insurance coverage for part of the damages in this litigation under our Directors and Officers policies that were in effect with two insurers. We received a payment of $2.67 million in March 2005 from one of
the insurers. The insurance proceeds were recorded as a receivable within prepaid expenses and other assets on our consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2004.



In September 2005, we recovered $4.1 million from our other insurer. This payment was a negotiated settlement of the outstanding litigation
that we filed against this insurer. These proceeds were received and have been recorded on the litigation costs (recoveries) line-item in our condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three and nine-month periods ended
September 30, 2005.



In addition to the Shingleton litigation, we are a
co-defendant in 12 putative consumer class action lawsuits filed against Time Warner, Inc. or America Online, in various state and Federal courts during the period from July 2003 to December 2004. No class has been certified in any of these suits.
We believe the allegations against us are without merit and intend to vigorously defend ourselves against them, including seeking dismissals and summary judgments, as appropriate. America Online is paying for our defense and has agreed to indemnify
us against any costs or damages that we may incur as a result of these lawsuits. All of these suits allege that America Online, a customer of ICT, violated consumer protection laws by charging members for accounts they purportedly did not agree to
create and that America Online and ICT violated consumer protection laws in the handling of subscribers calls seeking to cancel accounts and obtain refunds of amounts paid for such accounts. America Online contracted with us to answer customer
service calls from America Online subscribers in accordance with instructions provided by America Online. America Online employees and other call center contractors also answered customer service calls from subscribers using the same instructions.
Nine of the lawsuits that were filed in, or removed to, Federal court have
been centralized in the Central District of California for consolidated or coordinated pre-trial proceedings pursuant to a February 27, 2005 order of
the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation (the MDL Litigation). The defendants Motion to Dismiss that complaint was denied. The three remaining lawsuits were filed and remain in state courts.



On April 5, 2005, we were joined as a co-defendant in three additional cases, and
America Online and we signed a settlement agreement with plaintiffs counsel in the three cases on behalf of a putative national class of all persons and entities who were charged or billed by or through America Online or its agents, assigns,
contracted customer service providers, or other designees acting on behalf of or through America Online, for services and/or goods without their consent or authorization. Consistent with America Onlines agreement to indemnify us against any
costs or damages that we may incur as a result of these lawsuits, all settlement payments or services under the settlement agreement will be paid or provided by America Online. On April 7, 2005, the Circuit Court for St. Clair County, Illinois,
certified the settlement class, which includes the putative classes alleged in all of the cases discussed above, and preliminarily approved the settlement.



On May 9, 2005, the judge in the MDL Litigation issued an order enjoining America Online and ICT from proceeding with the settlement in St. Clair County, Illinois,
to the extent that the settlement releases the plaintiffs claims in the MDL Litigation. America Online and ICT have appealed this decision to the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit.



On June 22, 2005, one of the putative consumer class action lawsuits filed in the U.S.
District Court for the Middle District of Louisiana was settled by agreement of the parties, and the Court issued a joint motion to dismiss the matter with prejudice. Consistent with America Onlines agreement to indemnify us against any costs
or damages that we may incur as a result of these lawsuits, all costs and payments associated with the settlement were paid by America Online.



In October 2005, the Plaintiffs in the MDL Litigation agreed to join the St. Clair County, Illinois settlement, and a revised settlement agreement was signed on October
21, 2005. The Plaintiffs in the MDL litigation have subsequently filed a motion to vacate the injunction preventing AOL and ICT from proceeding with the settlement.



Note 6: INCOME TAXES



In accordance with FASB Interpretation No. 18, Accounting for Income Taxes in Interim Periods, the effective income tax rate of 23% and 26% for the three
and nine months ended September 30, 2005 has been computed to include the effects of discrete events that occurred during the quarter. In September 2005, we received proceeds of $4.1 million from one of our insurance carriers in connection with
the Shingleton litigation (see Note 5). The income taxes related to these proceeds are reflected in the third quarter and not spread out over the third and fourth quarters. The estimated effective income tax rate for the full year 2005, including
the effect of the insurance proceeds, is expected to be approximately 25%.



Also impacting our income tax rate as a discrete event in the third quarter is an additional valuation allowance that was recorded on certain research and development credits that were recorded in 2004. In 2004, we had recorded tax benefits
of approximately $620,000, net of valuation allowances and reserves, relating to federal tax credits for research and development. Of this $620,000, $421,000 was classified as net deferred tax asset with the remainder reflected within our current
income tax payable. In the third quarter of 2005 the IRS denied our tax credits associated with research and development. While we plan to appeal the denial, we have determined that a full valuation allowance should be placed on the remaining
deferred tax asset as it was more likely than not that we will not be able to realize the tax benefit of this deferred tax asset. Therefore, we recorded additional valuation allowances and reserves of $620,000 during the three months ended
September 30, 2005.



Partially offsetting the effects of the events
described above was a reduction to foreign income taxes previously recorded associated with our Philippines operations, as further described in Note 7. In August 2005, one of our facilities in the Philippines was awarded Philippine Economic Zone
Authority (PEZA) status from the inception of its operations. Therefore, certain Philippines income taxes that we had previously recorded are no longer required and accordingly, we reversed approximately $1.3 million of income taxes that had been
previously accrued and included in our full year income tax estimates. See Note 7 for additional information on our reorganization in the Philippines.

Note 7: PHILIPPINES REORGANIZATION



Effective August 25, 2005, we completed a tax-free reorganization of our Philippines operations. The primary purpose of the
reorganization was to minimize Subpart F income from future operations and to obtain flexibility with respect to investments in our foreign operations.



Prior to the reorganization, we operated two contact centers in the Philippines. One of our facilities was located in a PEZA-registered zone, and is exempt from
Philippines income taxes. Our other facility was located in a zone that was in the process of being PEZA-registered. Because such approval was outside of our control, we accrued Philippines tax on the income generated in this facility. In August
2005, the zone in which our second facility was located was formally approved as a PEZA-registered zone. After discussions with us, the PEZA authority granted us tax exemption from the beginning of our operations. As a result, we were not subject to
income tax during the period of time we maintained operations before the zone was PEZA-registered.



As of September 30, 2005, we now possess PEZA exemption from Philippines income taxes through mid-year 2007 for one of our facilities and mid-year 2010 for our other facility. We are subject to withholding taxes
on any profits that are repatriated.



Note 8: FACILITIES



Effective July 1, 2005, we executed an early termination of a facilities lease. This
facilities lease had originally been entered into at the request of a former customer and the lease term ran through September 2006. While we were able to exit the lease without any penalties being assessed by the landlord, we did have a significant
amount of assets, including leasehold improvements, associated with this facility. We were able to redeploy a portion of these assets. The remaining carrying value of assets that were not redeployed was approximately $440,000 and was written off in
the second quarter as impaired assets. We were able to recover $125,000 from this former customer, as part of an early contract termination agreement signed in May 2005, which partially offset this write-off. Both of these amounts were recorded in
selling, general and administrative costs in the condensed consolidated statement of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2005.



In February 2005, we moved our Australian operations into a new facility. In April 2005, we signed an agreement to sell the furniture and fixtures from the prior facility
to the new tenants and recognized a gain on the sale of approximately $184,000. This gain was recorded in selling, general and administrative costs in the condensed consolidated statement of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2005.



Note 9: OPERATING AND GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION



Based on guidance in SFAS No. 131, Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise
and Related Information, we believe that we have one reportable segment. Our services are provided through contact centers located throughout the world and include customer care management services as well as inbound and outbound telesales,
database marketing services, marketing research services, technology hosting services, and data management and collection services on behalf of customers operating in our target industries. Technological advancements have allowed us to better
control production output at each contact center by routing customer call lists to different centers depending on capacity. A contact center and the technology assets utilized by the contact center may have different geographic locations.
Accordingly, many of our contact centers are not limited to performing only one of the above-mentioned services; rather, they can perform a variety of different services for different customers in different geographic markets.



The following table shows information by geographic area. For the purposes of our disclosure,
revenue is attributed to countries based on the location of the customer being served and property and equipment is attributed to countries based on physical location of the asset.

Note 10: DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS



We have operations in Canada, Ireland, the United Kingdom, Australia,
Barbados, Mexico and the Philippines that are subject to foreign currency fluctuations. As currency rates change, translation of the statement of operations from local currencies to U.S. dollars affects year-to-year comparability of operating
results.



Our most significant foreign currency exposures occur when revenue
and associated accounts receivable are collected in one currency and expenses incurred to generate that revenue are paid in another currency. Our most significant area of exposure has been with the Canadian operations, where a portion of revenue is
generated in U.S. dollars (USD) and the corresponding expenses are generated in Canadian dollars (CAD). When the value of the CAD increases against the USD, CAD denominated expenses increase and operating margins are negatively impacted. Partially
offsetting this exposure is indigenous Canadian business and associated profitability where profits will be higher in a period of a strong CAD. To mitigate this exposure, we enter into derivative contracts to hedge a portion of anticipated operating
costs and payables associated with the CAD, primarily payroll expenses, rental expenses and other known recurring costs.



The forward contracts and currency options that are used to hedge these exposures are designated as cash flow hedges. The gain or loss from the effective portion of the
hedge is reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income in shareholders equity until settlement of the contract occurs. Settlement occurs in the same period that the hedged item affects earnings. Any gain or loss from the
ineffective portion of the hedge that exceeds the cumulative change in the present value of future cash flows of the hedged item, if any, is recognized in the current period. For accounting purposes, effectiveness refers to the cumulative changes in
the fair value of the derivative instrument being highly correlated to the inverse changes in the fair value of the hedged item. Any related gains and losses on derivative instruments are recorded in selling, general and administrative costs in the
condensed consolidated statements of operations.



For the three months ended
September 30, 2005 and 2004, we realized (losses) gains of ($16,650) and $59,500 on the derivative instruments, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, we realized gains (losses) of $24,300 and ($137,800) on
the derivative instruments, respectively. The fair value of outstanding derivative instruments is recorded on our condensed consolidated balance sheets. As of September 30, 2005, the fair value of outstanding derivative instruments was an asset
of approximately $305,000 ($198,000, net of tax). At December 31, 2004, the fair value of outstanding derivative instruments was an asset of approximately $429,000 ($287,000, net of tax). The outstanding derivative instruments at
September 30, 2005
hedge a portion of anticipated operating costs and payables associated with the CAD from October 2005 through December 2005. In October 2005, our management
entered into additional derivative contracts to hedge CAD exposures for the 2006 fiscal year.



The expansion of operations in the Philippines has increased the level of currency exposure in that operation. In October 2005, our management addressed the potential currency exposure associated with the PHP by
entering into derivative contracts for the 2006 fiscal year.

sublease arrangements. We did exercise an early termination option with respect to one of our facilities, which required a payment to be made to the landlord. This option was included in our restructuring estimate in 2002. All other cash payments
made were related to the ongoing lease obligations.



We continue to evaluate
and update our estimate of the remaining liabilities. At September 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004, $797,000 and $1.2 million of the restructuring accrual is recorded in other liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheet,
which represents lease obligation payments and estimated facility exit cost payments to be made beyond one year. As of September 30, 2005, the expiration dates of the remaining equipment leases and facilities leases range from 2005 to 2009. The
balance of the restructuring accrual is included in accrued expenses in our condensed consolidated balance sheet at September 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004.



Note 12: RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS



In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 123R, Share-Based Payment. SFAS No. 123R replaces
SFAS No. 123, supercedes APB Opinion No. 25 and amends SFAS No. 95, Statement of Cash Flows. SFAS No. 123R eliminates the ability to account for stock-based compensation transactions using APB Opinion No. 25, and
will require instead that such transactions be accounted for using a fair value based method. SFAS No. 123R requires compensation costs related to share-based payment transactions to be recognized in the financial statements over the period
that an employee provides service in exchange for the award. In April 2005, the Securities and Exchange Commission postponed the effective date of SFAS No. 123R until the fiscal year beginning after June 15, 2005. We will adopt SFAS
No. 123R effective January 1, 2006.



Public companies may adopt the
new standard using a modified prospective method or they may elect to restate prior periods using the modified retrospective method. Under the modified prospective method, companies are required to record compensation cost for new and modified
awards over the related vesting period of such awards prospectively and record compensation cost prospectively for the unvested portion, at the date of adoption, of previously issued and outstanding awards over the remaining vesting period of such
awards. No change to prior periods presented is permitted under the modified prospective method. Under the modified retrospective method, a company records compensation costs for prior periods retroactively through restatement of such periods using
the exact pro forma amounts disclosed in the companys footnotes. We will adopt the standard using the modified prospective method.



In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 153,Exchanges of Nonmonetary Assets, which eliminates an exception in APB Opinion No. 29,
Accounting For Nonmonetary Transactions, for nonmonetary exchanges of similar productive assets and replaces it with a general
exception for exchanges of nonmonetary assets that do not have commercial substance. A nonmonetary exchange has commercial substance if the future cash flows
of the entity are expected to change significantly as a result of the exchange. SFAS No. 153 is effective for nonmonetary exchanges occurring in fiscal periods beginning after June 15, 2005. The adoption of SFAS No. 153 did not have a
material impact on our financial position or results of operations.



In May
2005, the FASB issued SFAS No. 154, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections, which replaces APB Opinion No. 20, Accounting Changes and SFAS No. 3, Reporting Accounting Changes in Interim Financial
Statements  An Amendment of APB Opinion No. 28. SFAS No. 154 provides guidance on the accounting for and reporting of accounting changes and error corrections. It establishes retrospective application as of the earliest period
presented, or the latest practicable date, as the required method for reporting a voluntary change in accounting principle and the reporting of a correction of an error. SFAS No. 154 is effective for accounting changes and corrections of errors
made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. We believe that the adoption of this statement will not have a material effect on our financial condition or results of operations.



|Item 2. | Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
|------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Overview



We are a leading global provider of outsourced customer management and business process outsourcing solutions. Our comprehensive, balanced mix of sales, service,
marketing and technology solutions includes: customer care/retention, technical support and customer acquisition, cross-selling/up-selling as well as market research, database marketing, data capture/collection, e-mail management, collections and
other back office business processing services. We provide our services through contact centers located throughout the world, including the U.S., Ireland, the U.K., Canada, Australia, Mexico, Barbados and the Philippines. In total, we have 43
contact centers from which we support domestic and multinational corporations and institutions, primarily in the financial, insurance, healthcare, telecommunications, information technology, consumer electronics industries and government.



We also offer a comprehensive suite of Customer Relationship Management (CRM)
technologies, which are available on a hosted basis, for use by clients at their own in-house facilities, or on a co-sourced basis in conjunction with our fully integrated, Web-enabled contact centers. These technologies include: automatic call
distribution (ACD) voice processing, interactive voice response (IVR) and advanced speech recognition (ASR), Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP), contact management, automated e-mail management and processing, sales force and marketing automation,
and alert notification and Web self help, for the delivery of consistent, quality customer care across multiple channels.



Our customer care/retention clients typically enter into multi-year arrangements that may contain provisions for early contract terminations. We generally operate under
month-to-month contractual relationships with our telesales clients. The pricing component of a contract is often comprised of a base service charge and separate charges for ancillary services. Our services are generally priced based upon per-minute
or hourly rates. On occasion, we perform services for which we are paid incentives based on completed sales. The nature of our business is such that we generally compete with other outsourced service providers as well as the retained in-house call
center operations of our customers. This can create pricing pressures and impact the rates we can charge in our contracts.



Revenue is recognized as the services are performed, generally based on hours of work performed; however, certain types of revenue relating to up front project set-up
costs must be deferred and recognized over a period of time, typically the length of the customer contract.





##### Table of Contents

We improved our operations in 2005 by growing our customer base in key vertical markets, particularly in providing
customer care management services, which command higher revenue rates. We were also able to control our direct operating costs for labor and telecommunications. Our centralized technology infrastructure, implemented in 2004, continues to help us
achieve savings in our telecommunications costs as well as increase the utilization of our workstations and software licenses.



On March 1, 2005, we announced a settlement to resolve the Shingleton litigation. Under the terms of the settlement, we, without admitting liability or wrongdoing,
agreed to pay $14.75 million to settle all allegations relating to unpaid wages, bonuses and other claims, as well as payments for liquidated damages required by the West Virginia Wage Payment and Collection Act (the Wage Act). We
subsequently made this payment in March 2005 using cash-on-hand, borrowings under our Credit Facility, and $2.67 million of proceeds from responsive insurance coverage. For the remainder of the year we do not expect to incur any significant
litigation costs associated with the Shingleton litigation. In September 2005, we resolved an ongoing action related to the Shingleton litigation with one of our insurance carriers and accepted $4.1 million as settlement of our claims against them.



Our future profitability will be impacted by, among other things, our ability
to expand our service offerings to existing customers as well as our ability to obtain new customers, especially within the vertical markets where we have had the most success, including the financial services industry and the healthcare industry.
We also need to continue to explore and grow new vertical markets. Our near-term profitability is also impacted by our ability to manage costs and mitigate the effects of foreign currency exchange risk. Our business is very labor intensive and
consequently, in an effort to reduce costs and be as competitive as possible in the marketplace, we have been reallocating some of our services to near-shore and offshore contact centers, which typically have lower labor costs.



Some of these benefits, however, are offset by the expanded training and associated costs we
may incur because of the variety of services we provide. Many of our customer care services require more complex and costly training processes during the start-up period and to the extent we cannot bill these amounts to our clients, our
profitability will be impacted. In addition to the more complex training, the employees who work on our customer care programs are generally paid a higher hourly rate because of the more complex level of services they are providing.



We believe that our continued success for the remainder of 2005 will be largely dependent on
our ability to execute on existing contracts and capture new marketing and customer service contracts, maintain stabilized Sales revenue and leverage the investments we have made in our infrastructure by producing more billable hours with existing
workstations. We believe that major corporations will continue to utilize the skills of companies like ours and that the functions outsourced by companies will continue to expand beyond the contact center services that currently comprise the large
majority of our business. To capitalize on these opportunities, we will continue to enhance the technologies we use. We plan to leverage our existing strength in the financial services, insurance and healthcare markets and provide additional
business services to our customers in these and other industries. In addition, our goal is to expand our position in other vertical markets, including government, technology, consumer electronics and energy.



Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates



Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally
accepted accounting principles. These generally accepted accounting principles require our management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at
the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.



##### Table of Contents

Our significant accounting policies are described in the footnotes to our audited consolidated financial statements,
which are included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004. The following discussion addresses our critical accounting policies, which are those that are most important to the portrayal of our financial condition
and results and require our managements most difficult, subjective and complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. If actual results were to differ significantly
from estimates made, the reported results could be materially affected. However, we are not currently aware of any reasonably likely events or circumstances that would result in materially different results. Our senior management has reviewed these
critical accounting policies and estimates with our audit committee.



Revenue Recognition



We recognize revenue as services are
performed, generally based on hours of work incurred. Revenue is typically calculated based on contracted hourly rates with customers.



In order to provide our business services solutions, we may incur certain upfront project set-up costs specific to each customer contract. In certain instances, we can
bill the customer for these costs; however, because the delivered item (project set-up costs) does not have stand alone value to the customer, revenue is deferred and recognized as services are provided over the contract term or until contract
termination, should that occur prior to the end of the contract term. To the extent we have billed these costs and there are no customer issues with collection, we will defer the project set-up costs and amortize such amounts as the services are
provided over the remaining contract term or until contract termination. The costs incurred are deferred only to the extent of the amounts billed. Amounts collected from customers prior to the performance of services are also recorded as deferred
revenue. Total deferred revenue was $5.0 million and $4.3 million as of September 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004, respectively, and is included in accrued expenses in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. The deferred
revenue related to upfront project set-up costs was $4.0 million and $1.6 million as of September 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004, respectively. The deferred set-up costs are included in prepaid expenses and other in the accompanying
condensed consolidated balance sheets. The deferred set-up costs totaled $2.7 million and $1.1 million at September 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004, respectively.



We believe our revenue recognition policy is in accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104, Revenue Recognition and
Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue 00-21, Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables.



Allowance for Doubtful Accounts



Our
accounts receivable balances are net of an estimated allowance for uncollectible accounts. Our management continuously monitors collections and payments from customers and maintains an allowance for uncollectible accounts based upon our historical
write-off experience and any specific customer collection issues that have been identified. Other items considered in estimating the allowance for uncollectible accounts include the age of the receivables, the financial status of our customers and
general economic conditions. While we believe the reserve estimate to be appropriate, it may be necessary to adjust the allowance for doubtful accounts if actual bad debt expense differs significantly from the estimated reserve. We are subject to
concentration risks as some of our customers and industries we support generate a high percentage of our total revenue and corresponding receivables. Accounts receivable as of September 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004 was approximately
$76.0 million and $64.8 million, respectively, representing approximately 46% and 40% of total assets, respectively. Given the significance of accounts receivable to our consolidated financial statements, the determination of net realizable values
is considered to be a critical accounting estimate.



Impairment of
Long-Lived Assets



We continually evaluate whether events or circumstances
have occurred that would indicate that the remaining estimated useful lives of our long-lived assets may warrant revision or that the remaining balance may not be recoverable. When factors indicate that long-lived assets should be evaluated for
possible impairment, an estimate
of the related undiscounted cash flows over the remaining life of the long-lived assets is used to measure recoverability. Some of the more important factors
we consider include our financial performance relative to our expected and historical performance, significant changes in the way we manage our operations, negative events that have occurred, and negative industry and economic trends. If any
impairment is indicated, measurement of the impairment will be based on the difference between the carrying value and fair value of the assets, generally determined based on the present value of expected future cash flows associated with the use and
ultimate disposition of the asset. In the second quarter of 2005 we recorded an impairment of certain assets associated with a facility that we exited early. The impairment charge was $440,000. No other impairments have been recorded during 2005 or
2004. Net property and equipment as of September 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004 totaled $55.4 million and $56.3 million, respectively, and represented approximately 33% and 35%, respectively of total assets for each period presented.



Impairment of Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets



Goodwill and other intangible assets are recorded as a result of business combinations. As
of September 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004, we had $3.5 million and $3.3 million of goodwill, respectively. We also had $697,000 and $953,000 of other intangible assets, net of amortization, at September 30, 2005 and
December 31, 2004, respectively. An impairment of these assets could have a significant impact on our results of operations. An impairment exists when events have occurred or circumstances exist that result in the fair value of these assets to
fall below their carrying value. Although goodwill is no longer required to be amortized, we are required to perform an annual impairment review of our goodwill. This impairment review is performed in the fourth quarter of each year. The impairment
assessment is performed using projected cash flows. On an interim basis, we also evaluate whether any events have occurred or whether any circumstances exist that could indicate an impairment of our goodwill. For the three and nine-month periods
ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, there were no impairment charges related to goodwill or other intangible assets.



Accounting for Income Taxes



As part of the process of preparing our condensed consolidated financial statements, our management is required to estimate income taxes in each of the jurisdictions in
which we operate. This process involves estimating our actual current tax expense together with assessing temporary differences resulting from differing treatment of items, such as depreciation of property and equipment, for tax and accounting
purposes. These differences result in deferred tax assets and liabilities, which are included within the condensed consolidated balance sheet. We must then assess the likelihood that our deferred tax assets will be realized through future taxable
income. As of September 30, 2005, we had recorded valuation allowances totaling $3.8 million against deferred tax assets that we had recorded for net operating loss carryforwards and certain Federal tax credits. During the third quarter of
2005, we recorded additional valuation allowances and reserves of $620,000 on certain Federal tax credits that had been recorded in prior periods. Refer to Note 6 to the condensed consolidated financial statements.



As of September 30, 2005, the total amount of our deferred tax assets, before the
valuation allowance, was approximately $5.5 million. Although realization is not assured with our deferred tax assets, our management believes it is more likely than not that the remaining deferred tax assets will be realized. The amount of the
deferred tax asset considered realizable, however, could be reduced in the near term if estimates of future taxable income are reduced. We will continue to evaluate and assess the realizability of all deferred tax assets and adjust valuation
allowances, if required in the future. During the third quarter of 2005, two other events occurred which impacted our income tax rate estimates and resulted in an overall decrease in our effective tax rates. These events are also described in Note
6.



Restructuring Charges



As of September 30, 2005, we had a remaining accrual of $1.2 million for the amount of
estimated costs required to terminate the leases and close the facilities included in our December 2002 restructuring. The original charge of $8.9 million consisted of severance, site closure costs and asset impairments. Certain estimates were made
in determining the amount of the charge for site closure costs and asset impairments, but no estimate for sublease income was made, given the market conditions at that time and the inability to find suitable tenants. The amount of
the charge will be subject to change over time if a suitable tenant is identified or to the extent we are able to negotiate early lease terminations.



For the nine months ended September 30, 2005, the only activity in the
accrual were payments of $627,000 related ongoing lease obligations.



Accounting for Contingencies



In the ordinary course of
business, we have entered into various contractual relationships with strategic corporate partners, customers, suppliers, vendors and other parties. As such, we could be subject to litigation, claims or assessments arising from any or all of these
relationships, or from our relationships with our employees. Our management accounts for contingencies such as these in accordance with SFAS No. 5 Accounting for Contingencies. SFAS No. 5 requires an estimated loss contingency
be recorded when information available prior to issuance of a companys financial statements indicates that it is probable that an asset has been impaired or a liability has been incurred at the date of the financial statements and the amount
of the loss can be reasonably estimated. SFAS No. 5 and its interpretations further state that when there is a range of loss and no amount within that range is a better estimate than any other, that the minimum amount in the range shall be
accrued. Accounting for contingencies arising from contractual, tax, or legal proceedings requires our management to use its best judgment when estimating an accrual related to such contingencies. As additional information becomes known, the accrual
for a loss contingency could fluctuate, thereby creating variability in our results of operations from period to period. Likewise, an actual loss arising from a loss contingency that significantly exceeds the amount accrued could have a material
adverse impact on our operating results for the period in which such actual loss becomes known.



At December 31, 2004, we had recorded an accrual related to the Shingleton litigation. Our accrual at December 31, 2004, was $14.8 million and reflected amounts that were agreed upon in a settlement that was
announced on March 1, 2005 and approved by the Court on June 27, 2005 as well as an estimate for employer wage taxes. In March 2005, we made payments of $14.75 million to satisfy our obligations under the settlement. These payments were
partially funded with $2.67 million of insurance proceeds that we received. The insurance proceeds were recorded as a receivable within prepaid expenses and other on our consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2004. In September 30,
2005, the settlement proceeds were distributed to the class. As of September 30, 2005, we have no accruals remaining relating to the Shingleton litigation.



Recent Accounting Pronouncements



In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123R, Share-Based Payment. SFAS 123R replaces SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation, supercedes APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees and amends SFAS No. 95, Statement of Cash Flows. SFAS No. 123R eliminates the ability to account for stock-based
compensation transactions using APB Opinion No. 25, and will require instead that such transactions be accounted for using a fair value based method. SFAS No. 123R requires compensation costs related to share-based payment transactions to
be recognized in the financial statements over the period that an employee provides service in exchange for the award. In April 2005, the SEC postponed the effective date of SFAS No. 123R until the fiscal year beginning after June 15,
2005. We will adopt SFAS No. 123R effective January 1, 2006.



Public
companies may adopt the new standard using a modified prospective method or they may elect to restate prior periods using the modified retrospective method. Under the modified prospective method, companies are required to record compensation cost
for new and modified awards over the related vesting period of such awards prospectively and record compensation cost prospectively for the unvested portion, at the date of adoption, of previously issued and outstanding awards over the remaining
vesting period of such awards. No change to prior periods presented is permitted under the modified prospective method. Under the modified retrospective method, a company records compensation costs for prior periods retroactively through restatement
of such periods using the exact pro forma amounts disclosed in the companys footnotes. We will adopt the standard using the modified prospective method.



In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 153,Exchanges of Nonmonetary Assets, which eliminates an exception in APB Opinion No. 29,
Accounting for Nonmonetary Transactions, for nonmonetary exchanges of similar productive assets and replaces it with a general exception for exchanges of nonmonetary assets that do not have commercial substance. A nonmonetary exchange
has
commercial substance if the future cash flows of the entity are expected to change significantly as a result of the exchange. SFAS No. 153 is effective
for nonmonetary exchanges occurring in fiscal periods beginning after June 15, 2005. The adoption of SFAS No. 153 did not have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.



In May 2005, the FASB issued SFAS No. 154, Accounting Changes and Error
Corrections, which replaces APB Opinion No. 20, Accounting Changes and SFAS No. 3, Reporting Accounting Changes in Interim Financial Statements  An Amendment of APB Opinion No. 28. SFAS No. 154
provides guidance on the accounting for and reporting of accounting changes and error corrections. It establishes retrospective application as of the earliest period present, or the latest practicable date, as the required method for reporting a
voluntary change in accounting principle and the reporting of a correction of an error. SFAS No. 154 is effective for accounting changes and corrections of errors made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. We believe that the
adoption of this statement will not have a material effect on our financial condition or results of operations.

For both the three and nine months
ended September 30, 2005, we have experienced significant growth in our Services revenue and our Sales revenue. Our Services revenue, which is made up primarily of inbound customer service programs, has increased to 70% of total revenue for the
three months ended September 30, 2005, as compared to 66% for the three months ended September 30, 2004. For the nine months ended September 30, 2005, this percentage is 68% as compared to 65% for the same period in the prior year.
Our Sales revenue, which has remained relatively consistent since the sharp decline in mid-2003 caused by the enactment of Federal legislation, which affected many outbound calling programs, increased primarily due to additional client programs in
the financial services industry and strong growth in international markets.



Total revenue per average workstation in production for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005 increased by 9% and 11%, respectively, over the same periods in the prior year, reflecting increased utilization of our existing
workstations and growth in revenue from ancillary services further supported our growth in revenue per average workstation.



As we continue to perform work for our customers in near-shore and offshore locations, our revenue will be impacted by fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates.
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005, changes in foreign exchange rates had a positive impact of $1.2 million and $3.2 million, respectively, on total revenue, as compared to the same periods in the prior year. The impact in
both periods was primarily due to changes in the Canadian dollar, the Euro, and the British pound sterling.



##### Table of Contents

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005, no customers accounted for 10% or more of our revenue. For
both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004, Virgin Mobile USA LLC accounted for 11% of the Companys revenue. No other customers accounted for 10% or more of our revenue during these periods in 2024.

Our cost of services consists
primarily of direct labor costs associated with our telephone service representatives (TSRs) and telecommunications costs. Other direct costs we incur for our client programs include information technology support, quality assurance costs, other
billable labor costs and support services costs.



For the three and nine months
ended September 30, 2005, the increase in our cost of services was driven primarily by direct labor cost increases as well as increases in other costs of services. Our labor costs are impacted by production hour volume, foreign exchange rates
and changes in hourly payroll rates. Our direct labor cost per production hour for the three months ended September 30, 2005 was $11.17 compared to $10.82 for the three months ended September 30, 2004. For the nine months ended
September 30, 2005, our direct labor cost per production hour was $11.14 compared to $11.00 for the nine months ended September 30, 2004. Both increases reflect an overall decrease in wage rates of approximately 3%, offset by the impact of
foreign currency. Much of our new business is inbound customer service and support. These programs necessitate that our TSRs possess a higher skill set in order to provide the appropriate level of support. The primary reason for the increase in
direct labor cost was the increased volume of production hours necessary to support our revenue growth. The increase in telecom costs for the three months ended September 30, 2005 was also due to increased telephony traffic required to support
our customer programs.



Other costs of services increased primarily due to
higher levels of training costs, support work for our client programs, increased costs related to quality assurance and subcontracting costs. These costs tend to increase as our volume of customer care and customer support business increases. These
client programs are typically more complex than outbound sales programs and require a higher level of clerical and ancillary services, which are non-phone services. The training of TSRs for these types of programs is also more costly due to the
inherent level of complexity.



For the three and nine months ended
September 30, 2005, changes in foreign exchange rates had the effect of increasing our cost of services by $1.3 million and $4.1 million, respectively, as compared to the same periods in the prior year. Foreign exchange rate fluctuations will
continue to have an impact on our results.

Selling, general and administrative
(SG&A) expenses primarily are comprised of salaries and benefits, rental expenses relating to our facilities and some of our equipment, equipment maintenance and depreciation and amortization.



SG&A expenses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005 as compared to
the same periods in the prior year increased primarily because of increased facilities costs along with increases in salaries and benefits. Our facilities costs consist primarily of rental fees, which increased in both periods because of our
expansion over the past year. Contributing to the increase are increased costs relating to two new contact centers in the United States as well as expansion in some of our existing contact centers. Salaries and benefits costs increased primarily due
to headcount increases worldwide as well as earned incentives. Approximately 34% of our SG&A expenses for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005 were incurred in foreign locations, which are subject to changes in foreign
exchange rates. Foreign exchange rates had the effect of increasing SG&A expenses by $525,000 and $1.6 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005, respectively, as compared to the same periods in the prior year.



As a percentage of revenue, our SG&A expenses declined for both the three
and nine months ended September 30, 2005 as compared to the same periods in the prior year, primarily as a result of our ability to handle a portion of the increased revenue with our existing infrastructure as well as being able to control some
of our expenses as we open new facilities.

Our litigation costs for the three and
nine months ended September 30, 2005 include proceeds from one of our insurance carriers for $4.1 million. These insurance proceeds were partially offset by legal expenses of $36,000 and $604,000 for the three and nine months ended
September 30, 2005, respectively. The insurance proceeds represent the culmination of litigation we were pursuing against one of the insurance carriers involved in the Shingleton litigation. For the remainder of the year we do not expect to
incur any significant litigation costs associated with the Shingleton litigation. The litigation costs in the prior year represented ongoing legal costs incurred as part of litigating the Shingleton class action.

Interest expense is shown net of
interest income on our investments. The increase in interest expense, net for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005, compared to the same periods in 2004, reflects additional net borrowings against our line of credit, higher
interest rates and less investment income. The weighted average interest rate on amounts outstanding under the Credit Facility was 5.1% and 4.8% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005, respectively, as compared to 4.0% and 3.5%
for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004, respectively.

Our income tax provision for both the
three and nine months ended September 30, 2005 increased as compared to the same periods in the prior year due to increased income from operations. Also, as described in Note 6 to the condensed consolidated financial statements there were three
discrete events that impacted our effective income tax rate in the third quarter of 2005. The most significant event related to the Philippine Economic Zone Authority (PEZA). We obtained exemption from Philippine income taxes related to one of our
Philippine facilities. This facility was approved as a PEZA economic zone, which provides income tax holidays. These events partially reduced our overall effective income tax rate in 2005. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005,
the effective income tax rate was approximately 23% and 26% compared to approximately 33% for the comparable periods in 2004.



Quarterly Results and Seasonality



We have experienced and expect to continue to experience quarterly variations in our operating results, principally as a result of the timing of client programs
(particularly programs with substantial amounts of upfront project set-up costs), the commencement and expiration of contracts, the timing and amount of new business we generated, our revenue mix, the timing of additional selling, general and
administrative expenses to support the growth and development of existing and new business units, competitive industry conditions and litigation costs.



Historically, our business tends to be the strongest in the fourth quarter due to the high level of client sales and service activity for the holiday season.



Liquidity and Capital Resources



At September 30, 2005, we had $10.0 million of cash and cash equivalents compared to
$11.4 million at December 31, 2004. We generate cash through various means, primarily through cash from operations and, when required, through borrowings under our Credit Facility. The primary areas of our business in which we spend cash
include capital expenditures, payments of principal and interest on amounts owed under our Credit Facility, costs of operations, litigation defense and business combinations.



##### Table of Contents

Cash From Operations



Cash provided by operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004 was $10.7 million and $3.2 million, respectively.



Cash provided by operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 was generated
by net income of $8.3 million and non-cash adjustments of $16.4 million, primarily depreciation and amortization. Net working capital changes decreased cash flow from operations by approximately $14.0 million. The change in working capital was
primarily due to the payment of the Shingleton litigation of $14.75 million and unfavorable changes in other working capital accounts of $6.1 million, offset by $6.8 million of insurance proceeds received.



Cash provided by operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 was generated
by net income of $850,000, and non-cash expenses of $13.1 million, primarily depreciation and amortization, offset by changes in working capital. Net working capital changes decreased cash flow from operations by approximately $10.7 million. The
change in working capital was primarily due to an increase in our accounts receivable balance, partially offset by favorable changes in accounts payable and accrued expenses.



Credit Facility



For the nine months ended September 30, 2005 we had net repayments of $1.0 million as compared to net borrowings of $10.0 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 2004. During the first quarter of 2005 we borrowed under our Credit Facility in order to fund a portion of the settlement reached in the Shingleton litigation. During the third quarter of 2005, we were able to repay $8.0 million
of borrowings. The funds used to repay these borrowing were provided by cash flow from operations, which included the $4.1 million of insurance proceeds we received during the third quarter. In 2004, the primary use of the borrowings was to fund a
portion of capital expenditures and the acquisition of DPS Data Group LLC (DPS).



On June 24, 2005, we entered into the Credit Facility. The Credit Facility, which amended our existing three-year $100.0 million revolving credit facility, is structured as a $125.0 million secured revolving facility with a $5.0
million sublimit for swing line loans and a $30.0 million sublimit for multicurrency borrowings. The Credit Facility includes a $50.0 million accordion feature, which will allow us to increase our borrowing capacity to $175.0 million, subject to
obtaining commitments for the incremental capacity from existing or new lenders. The amendment extends the maturity date from December 2, 2006 to June 24, 2010.



We incurred $592,000 of debt issuance costs associated with this Credit Facility. These costs have been deferred and are being amortized
over the five-year term of the Credit Facility. The unamortized issuance costs associated with the original credit facility of $306,000 will continue to be amortized over the new five-year term. As of September 30, 2005, we were in compliance
with all of the covenants contained in the Credit Facility.



Litigation



On March 1, 2005, we announced a settlement with the plaintiffs in
the Shingleton litigation. Under the terms of the settlement, ICT, without admitting liability or wrongdoing, agreed to pay $14.75 million to the plaintiff class to settle all allegations relating to unpaid wages, bonuses and other claims, as well
as payments for liquidated damages allowed by West Virginia law of 30 days of wages plus interest, which was being sought for all class members regardless of the amount of wages allegedly unpaid. The settlement agreement was approved by the Court on
June 27, 2005.



Until the litigation was settled, we had spent significant
resources defending the Company in both the class action and its related litigation. Our associated legal costs for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004 were $604,000 and $1.9 million, respectively.



Our accrual at December 31, 2004 was $14.8 million. In March 2005, we made payments of
$14.8 million to satisfy our obligations under the settlement. This payment was funded with cash-on-hand, borrowings under our Credit Facility and proceeds from responsive insurance coverage.



##### Table of Contents

We sought insurance coverage for part of the damages in this litigation under our Directors and Officers policies that
were in effect with two insurers. We received a payment of $2.67 million in March 2005 from one of the insurers. During the third quarter of 2005, we negotiated a settlement with the other insurer and collected the $4.1 million settlement amount.



Capital Expenditures and Business Combinations



For the nine months ended September 30, 2005, we spent $14.8 million on capital
expenditures compared to $18.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2004. For each period, these amounts represented substantially all of our investing activities. In 2005, our capital expenditures related to the fit-out of two new
domestic facilities and one facility abroad. In 2004, we used $3.0 million of cash to acquire the assets of DPS Data Group LLC, in addition to our capital spending on property and equipment. During the first nine months of 2004, the level of capital
spending primarily reflected our offshore expansion in the Philippines.



There
were 10,208 workstations in operation at September 30, 2005, compared to 9,264 workstations at December 31, 2004 and 8,747 at September 30, 2004. The workstations added during 2005 were located in various jurisdictions. Approximately
65% of these new workstations were added in domestic contact centers and 35% were added in our contact centers offshore and near-shore.



In March 2005, we made an additional payment of $178,000 relating to our 2002 acquisition of Grupo TeleInter, S.A. de C.V. This payment was subject to the original
acquisition agreement and was based on the cumulative 2004 and 2003 final operating results. The maximum amount that could have been paid under this arrangement was $750,000. There are no remaining payments required under the acquisition agreement.



Our operations will continue to require significant capital expenditures to
support the growth of our business. Historically, equipment purchases have been financed through cash generated from operations, the Credit Facility, our ability to acquire equipment through operating leases, and through capital lease obligations
with various equipment vendors and lending institutions. We believe that cash-on-hand, together with cash flow generated from operations, the ability to acquire equipment through operating leases, and funds available under our Credit Facility will
be sufficient to finance our current operations and planned capital expenditures for at least the next twelve months.



Commitments and Obligations



As of September 30, 2005, we are also parties to various agreements that create contractual obligations and commercial commitments. These obligations and commitments
will have an impact on future liquidity and the availability of capital resources. We expect to satisfy our contractual obligations through cash flows generated from continuing operations. We would also consider accessing capital markets to meet our
needs, although we can give no assurances that this type of financing would be available when we need it. There has not been any material change to our outstanding contractual obligations from our disclosure in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the
fiscal year ended December 31, 2004, except for the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement.



FORWARD - LOOKING STATEMENTS



This
document contains certain forward-looking statements that are subject to risks and uncertainties. Forward-looking statements include statements relating to our belief that the allegations against us in the MDL Litigation are without merit and our
intention to vigorously defend ourselves against them, our expectations regarding recent accounting pronouncements, our expectation that no significant litigation costs associated with the Shingleton litigation will be incurred for the remainder of
2005, the appropriateness of our reserves for contingencies, the realizability of our deferred tax assets, our ability to finance our operations and capital requirements into 2006, our ability to finance our long-term commitments, certain
information relating to outsourcing trends as well as other trends in the outsourced business services industry and the overall domestic economy, our business strategy including the markets in which we operate, the services we provide, our ability
to attract new clients and the customers we target,
the benefits of certain technologies we have acquired or plan to acquire and the investment we plan to make in technology, our plans regarding
international expansion, the implementation of quality standards, the seasonality of our business, variations in operating results and liquidity, as well as information contained elsewhere in this document where statements are preceded by, followed
by or include the words will, should, believes, plans, intends, expects, anticipates or similar expressions. For such statements, we claim the protection of the safe
harbor for forward-looking statements contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. The forward-looking statements in this document are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause the assumptions underlying such
forward-looking statements and the actual results to differ materially from those expressed in or implied by the statements.



Some factors that could prevent us from achieving our goalsand cause the assumptions underlying the forward-looking statements and our actual results to differ
materially from those expressed in or implied by those forward-looking statementsinclude, but are not limited to, the following: (i) the competitive nature of the outsourced business services industry and our ability to distinguish our
services from other outsourced business services companies and other marketing activities on the basis of quality, effectiveness, reliability and value; (ii) economic, political or other conditions which could alter the desire of businesses to
outsource certain sales and service functions and our ability to obtain additional contracts to manage outsourced sales and service functions; (iii) the cost to defend or settle litigation against us or judgments, orders, rulings and other
developments in litigation against us; (iv) government regulation of the telemarketing industry, such as the Do-Not-Call legislation; (v) our ability to offer value-added services to businesses in our targeted industries and our ability to
benefit from our industry specialization strategy; (vi) risks associated with investments and operations in foreign countries including, but not limited to, those related to relevant local economic conditions, exchange rate fluctuations,
relevant local regulatory requirements, political factors, generally higher telecommunications costs, barriers to the repatriation of earnings and potentially adverse tax consequences; (vii) equity market conditions; (viii) technology
risks, including our ability to select or develop new and enhanced technology on a timely basis, anticipate and respond to technological shifts and implement new technology to remain competitive, as well as costs to implement these new technologies;
(ix) the results of our operations, which depend on numerous factors including, but not limited to, the timing of clients teleservices campaigns, the commencement and expiration of contracts, the timing and amount of new business
generated by us, our revenue mix, the timing of additional selling, general and administrative expenses and the general competitive conditions in the outsourced business services industry and the overall economy; (x) terrorist attacks and their
aftermath; (xi) the outbreak of war, and (xii) our capital and financing needs.



All forward-looking statements included in this report are based on information available to us as of the date of this report, and we assume no obligation to update these cautionary statements or any
forward-looking statements.



|Item 3. | Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
|------- | ----------------------------------------------------------



Our operations are exposed to market risks primarily as a result of changes in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates. We do not use derivative financial instruments for speculative or trading purposes. To
meet disclosure requirements, we perform a sensitivity analysis to determine the effects that market risk exposures may have on our debt and other financial instruments. Information provided by the sensitivity analysis does not necessarily represent
the actual changes in fair value that would be incurred under normal market conditions because, due to practical limitations, all variables other than the specific market risk factor are held constant.



Interest Rate Risk



Our exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates relates primarily to our Credit Facility. A change in market interest rates
exposes us to the risk of earnings or cash flow loss but would not impact the fair market value of the related underlying instrument. Borrowings under our Credit Facility are subject to variable LIBOR or prime base rate pricing. Accordingly, a 1%
change (100 basis points) in the LIBOR rate and the prime rate would have resulted in interest expense changing by approximately $110,000 and $404,000 for the three and nine-months ended September 30, 2005, respectively. The rate on the $38.0
million of outstanding borrowings at September 30, 2005 approximated market rates; thus, the fair value of the debt approximates its reported value. In the past, our
management has not entered into financial instruments such as interest rate swaps or interest rate lock agreements. However, we may consider these
instruments to manage the impact of changes in interest rates based on our managements assessment of future interest rates, volatility of the yield curve and our ability to access the capital markets in a timely manner.



Foreign Currency Risk



We have operations in Canada, Ireland, the United Kingdom, Australia, Barbados, Mexico and the Philippines that are subject to foreign
currency fluctuations. As currency rates change, translation of the foreign entities statements of operations from local currencies to U.S. dollars affects year-to-year comparability of operating results.



Our most significant foreign currency exposures occur when revenue is generated in one
foreign currency and corresponding expenses are generated in another foreign currency. Our most significant exposure has been with our Canadian operations, where a portion of revenue is generated in U.S. dollars (USD) and the corresponding expenses
are generated in Canadian dollars (CAD). When the value of the CAD increases against the USD, CAD denominated expenses increase and operating margins are negatively impacted. Partially offsetting this exposure is indigenous Canadian business and
associated profitability where USD profits will be higher in a period of a strong CAD.



Beginning in 2003, our management has executed a strategy to hedge a portion of anticipated operating costs and payables associated with the CAD, primarily payroll expenses, rental expenses and other known recurring expenses, on a monthly
basis to mitigate the impact of exchange rate fluctuations. The expansion of operations in the Philippines has increased the level of currency exposure in that operation and until recently, the exchange rate of the Philippine peso (PHP) against the
USD had not fluctuated significantly. In October 2005, our management addressed the increased currency exposure associated with the PHP by entering into some derivative contracts for fiscal year 2006.



The impact of foreign currencies will continue to present economic challenges for us and
could negatively impact overall earnings. A 5% change in the value of the USD relative to foreign currencies would have had an impact of approximately $700,000 and $1.6 million on our earnings for the three and nine months ended September 30,
2005, respectively, before the consideration of any income or loss resulting from our hedging activities.



|Item 4. | Controls and Procedures
|------- | -----------------------



a.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures



Our management, with the
participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer
and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report are functioning effectively to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed by us in
reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SECs rules and forms and (ii) accumulated and communicated to our management,
including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding disclosure. A control system cannot provide absolute assurance, however, that the objectives of the control system are met, and no
evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within a company have been detected.



b. Change in Internal Control over Financial Reporting



No change in our internal control over financial reporting occurred during our most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or
is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
