FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Annual Report on Form 10-K contains statements that involve expectations, plans or intentions (such as those relating to future business or financial results, new features or services, or management
strategies). These statements are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and are subject to risks and uncertainties, so actual results may vary materially. You can identify
these forward-looking statements by words such as may, will, should, expect, anticipate, believe, estimate, intend, plan and other similar
expressions. You should consider our forward-looking statements in light of the risks and uncertainties that could cause Language Line, Inc.s (the Company) actual results to differ materially from those which are managements
current expectations or forecasts. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, industry based factors such as the level of competition in the outsourced over-the-phone interpretation services market, continued demand from the
primary industries the Company serves, the availability of telephone services, as well as factors more specific to the Company such as restrictions imposed by the Companys debt including financial covenants and limitations on the
Companys ability to incur additional indebtedness, the Companys future capital requirements, and risk associated with economic conditions generally. See Item 1A  Risk Factors for further discussion. We assume no
obligation to update any forward-looking statements.

|ITEM 1: | BUSINESS
|------- | --------

Company Overview

We are a global provider of over-the-phone interpretation (OPI) services from English into more than 170 different languages, 24 hours a day, seven days a
week. Our specially-trained, proprietary base of interpreters perform value-added OPI services which facilitate critical business transactions and delivery of emergency and government services between our customers and limited English proficiency
(LEP) speakers throughout the world. In 2008, we helped more than 35 million people communicate across linguistic and cultural barriers. We offer our customers a high-quality, cost-effective alternative to staffing in-house
multilingual employees or using face-to-face interpretation. Through our OPI services, we improve our customers revenue potential, customer service and competitiveness by enhancing their ability to effectively serve the growing population of
current and prospective LEP speakers.

History

Language Line Holdings, Inc. (the Predecessor) was a Delaware corporation formed in December 1999 as a holding company for Language Line, LLC (LLC) and its subsidiaries. LLC was incorporated during February 1999 as a
Delaware limited liability company. The Predecessor was acquired on June 11, 2004 by Language Line, Inc. (LLI, we, Successor, or the Company) in a transaction accounted for under the purchase
method of accounting (the Merger). LLI, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Language Line Acquisition, Inc., is a Delaware corporation formed in April 2004. LLI had no significant operations prior to the acquisition of Predecessor. Subsequent
to the Merger, Language Line Acquisition, Inc., an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Language Line Holdings, LLC, was renamed Language Line Holdings, Inc. (LLHI).

The Merger, Escrow Settlement and Financing Transactions

On June 11, 2004, LLI, an indirect
subsidiary of ABRY Partners (ABRY) acquired the Predecessor in a transaction accounted for under the purchase method of accounting (the Merger). The aggregate purchase price was $718.1 million. The merger agreement contains
customary representations and warranties and covenants. At closing, $30.0 million of the Merger consideration was deposited into an escrow account on behalf of the stockholders and optionholders of the Predecessor to secure their potential indemnity
obligations to LLI and payment of any post-closing adjustment to the Merger consideration to LLI. Since the Merger, periodic payments from the escrow account have been paid to the stockholders and optionholders of the Predecessor according to a
pre-determined payment schedule. Final settlement of the escrow account was reached with the previous owners on July 25, 2006. In final settlement of the escrow account, the Company received $795,000 for potential tax liabilities. As the
Company had already recorded these additional tax liabilities subsequent to the Merger and concluded there is not a clear and direct link to the original purchase price, the settlement amount of $795,000 was recorded as other income in the third
quarter of 2006.

Concurrently with the Merger, we consummated certain related financing
transactions, including the issuance of approximately $109.0 million of 141/8% senior discount notes due 2013, by LLHI, the issuance by LLI of $165.0 million aggregate principal amount at maturity of 111/8% senior subordinated notes due 2012 (the Notes) and the entrance into senior credit facilities in the amount of $325.0
million by LLI.

Products and Services

We offer over-the-phone interpretation services. A majority of our volume comes from subscribed interpretation, which is designed for business customers with frequent interpretation needs. The remainder of our volume is derived from
personal interpretation, designed for individuals or businesses which require infrequent interpretation services. Usage for the majority of customers is billed in one-minute increments. Price per billed minute is typically based on the language
requested and time of day, subject to discounts related to billed minute volume pricing arrangements with certain customers.

We have a number of
complementary services that allow us to provide a full service language solution to our customers. Included among those services are document translation, Video Interpretation services, American Sign Language, and face-to-face interpretation.

We offer our customers a wide range of applications across a variety of industries. For example, our insurance industry customers use our services to
process claims more quickly, improve claim investigations, evaluate borderline claims, enhance help desk service and explain benefits. We assist healthcare customers by facilitating emergency room and critical care situations, accelerating triage
and medical advice, simplifying patient admission processes, improving billing and increasing collections. Our customers in the financial services sector use our services to resolve credit card problems, increase collections, open new accounts,
provide home buyer education and produce credit reports. Call centers use our services to enhance customer service centers, support personnel, facilitate billing, support multicultural marketing and bolster direct mail and telemarketing efforts.

We offer OPI services to our customers in over 170 different languages. Our top 10 languages accounted for over 91% of our billed minutes in 2008, with
Spanish-language OPI accounting for approximately 70% of our total billed minutes in 2008.

Customers

Four industries: insurance, financial services, healthcare and government, accounted for approximately 74% of our revenues in 2008. In 2008, the health care industry
accounted for 29% of our revenues, the financial industry accounted for 19% and our largest customer accounted for approximately 3% of our revenues, while our largest 100 customers represented 55% of our revenues.

Interpreters

We have assembled and organized our interpreters to
deliver superior service quality in a cost-effective manner. As of December 31, 2008, we managed a total of 4,480 interpreters. Interpreters for our high volume languages are typically scheduled, receive extensive, company-designed training,
and are supplemented by independent contractors for peak call volumes and for lower-volume languages. The majority of our interpreters work from home in the United States, with an increasing number of interpreters located in global interpretation
centers.

We employ a rigorous qualification and testing program for our interpreters, with only very highly skilled applicants being selected for hire. We
continually train and test all of our employees and agency interpreters in their interpretation skills. In addition, we employ industry experts to develop industry-specific training programs for our employee and agency interpreters, including
initial and ongoing specialized training in medical, insurance and finance terminology, as well as police, emergency and 911 procedures. As a result, we believe that our interpreters complete calls more quickly and more accurately than the industry
average.

Technical Overview

We have made significant capital investments in proprietary technology over the past six years to network globally, create more efficient processes, provide business continuity and systems redundancy, allow more stability in the systems and
make available a scalable technology platform for future expansion.

Our proprietary call routing system enables us to efficiently handle significantly
more call volume than our OPI competitors. Our proprietary call-handling system, Telephone Interpretation Technology and Networking (TITAN), allows us to efficiently handle hundreds of simultaneous calls. This allows us to quickly
connect our interpreters to our customers.

We rely upon a fully integrated scheduling program, Prime Time Enterprise (PTE), that generates
monthly forecasts of volume by language against planned interpreter attendance to produce a schedule for the following month. PTE also captures historical transaction records (e.g., hours worked by interpreter) from the database servers and provides
linkage to the payroll system. PTE has been modified by us to incorporate over ten years of historical call volume data in fifteen minute increments and analyze patterns of total call volume, language usage, industry distribution and customer
distribution in order to optimize the time our interpreters are occupied. PTE enables us to forecast and optimize interpreter occupancy for twelve months into the future.

Our systems are comprised of an Avaya Call Manager with ESS (Enterprise business continuity/survivability feature), Conversant and Voice Portal IVR systems, and redundant computer-telephony (CTI) servers.
We also utilize multiple database servers. We maintain multiple systems and servers in order to provide valuable redundancy in the event of an interruption in service.

Sales and Marketing

We have expanded our sales and marketing team professionals who have been trained to serve
current customers and target new customer accounts. Our professionals have detailed customer and industry analysis at their disposal. In the United States, we pursue significant revenue opportunities from new accounts and expansion of revenues from
existing accounts within our targeted industry segments. The Company operates as a single segment.

We have deployed sales and marketing resources in the
United Kingdom and Canada, and have begun to demonstrate our ability to leverage our United States infrastructure to penetrate these two markets. Similar to our United States strategy, we have begun to penetrate established industry segments by
increasing our presence with current customers and acquiring new high-value OPI customers in our target industries. We are utilizing our cost advantages, industry experience and increase the interpreter pool to provide the best product and
competitive pricing in these markets.

Competition

We
believe that we are the leading outsourced OPI provider in the U.S. with greater scale, scope, expertise and technical capabilities than our other outsourced OPI competitors.

We believe that our most significant United States competitors include Lionbridge Technologies, Inc. (Waltham, MA), Pacific Interpreters (Portland, OR), and Cyracom (Tucson, AZ). We believe that our largest competitor
in the United Kingdom is TheBigWord, and we believe that our largest competitor in Canada is CanTalk.

We believe the following attributes are important to
our customers; connection speeds, reliability, breadth of languages and quality of interpreters; that our performance compared to the performance of our competitors is more desirable to our customers. We believe these service attributes are key
considerations in the purchase decisions for our customers. This is particularly true for organizations concerned with compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 which requires companies to have interpretation services for LEP speakers
in order to qualify for federal funding.

The primary alternatives to OPI include:



| |  |  | Customer-provided language service through bilingual agents (in-house) and face-to-face interpreters;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Customer relationship management (CRM) providers with foreign language capabilities; and
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Technology such as web self-service, interactive voice response (IVR) units and machine translation.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

When deciding whether to use a language alternative to OPI, we believe our customers primary selection criteria are the levels of customer service, the critical
nature of a call (e.g., emergency 911 or hospital emergency room), the cost to service the transaction, and the availability of bi-lingual resources.

Customer-Provided Language Service

While in-house bilingual agents can potentially offer better customer service at a lower cost than OPI
service, these benefits are often not realized due to inefficiencies resulting from the need to manage internal productivity levels. Moreover, managing these agents can be a significant distraction in light of the relative minor usage by the LEP
client base. As for service quality, customers are typically inexperienced in recruiting, testing, training and managing an ethnically diverse workforce and often lack the resources to service their customers in more than 170 languages, 24 hours a
day, seven days a week. Face-to-face interpreters can deliver more personal service, although interpreters represent a fixed cost that may become expensive if not managed efficiently. Moreover, face-to-face interpreters generally are not available
on demand when needed and cannot assist in call center applications.

CRM Providers

Many third party CRM providers offer language solutions as part of their larger outsourcing offering. Generally, the number of languages offered are limited (in many cases, only one). These offerings are usually
focused on program-specific, scripted sales offers and lack the flexibility OPI provides to customer service and other critical applications. Many companies choose not to outsource critical customer relationships to third party CRM providers.

Technology

Web and IVR technology provide low cost
language alternatives, although the use of these technologies currently is limited to simple transactions and lacks the flexibility OPI provides for typical customer service and other critical applications. Moreover, customers still need to provide
a zero out option when LEP speakers cannot continue with menus provided or require additional assistance beyond the basic applications. Machine translation has evolved to handle simple transactions with accuracy in the range of 80% to
90%. Similar to CRM providers and IVR technology, machine translation lacks the flexibility desired by customers for interactions with their own customers.

Legislation

Several measures have been introduced in Congress aimed at discouraging the transfer of U.S. jobs to foreign countries
including a bill that would deny federal contracts to companies with offshore operations and a bill that would require notification of workers when companies plan to outsource and require the Department of Labor to compile statistics on the trend.
These legislative proposals are being challenged in state court. It is not clear whether these or similar legislative proposals will eventually become law and what, if any, impact they would have on our business and operations.

Employees

Employees are classified as those who are remunerated on a
salaried or an hourly basis, and receive corporate benefits from us. Agency employees are also paid on either an hourly or minute basis, but are employed by a staffing agency and are eligible for benefits from the staffing agency. Independent
contractors are defined as those interpreters that are paid by the minute of interpretation and do not receive any corporate benefits or direction from us. Employee and agency

employee interpreters are scheduled and non scheduled and generally handle our high-volume languages, receive training and are supplemented by independent
contractor interpreters for peak volumes and for lower-volume languages. The majority of our interpreters work from home in the United States, with an increasing number of interpreters located in global interpretation centers which are mainly
located in Central America. As of December 31, 2008, all of our employees were non-unionized. Effective February 2009, a portion of our agency employees located in Panama became subject to a collective bargaining agreement.

|ITEM 1A: | RISK FACTORS
|-------- | ------------

You should carefully consider the following factors,
in addition to the other information in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, in evaluating our Company and our business.

If we are unable to
successfully implement and execute our business strategy, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.

The implementation and execution of our business strategy will place significant demands on our senior management and operational, financial and marketing resources. The successful implementation of our business strategy involves the
following principal risks which could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations:



| |  |  | the operation of our business may place significant or unachievable demands on our management team;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | we may be unable to increase our penetration and expansion of the OPI market at average rates per billed minute of service which are acceptable to us;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | we may be unable to continue to achieve cost reductions on a per billed minute basis consistent with our low-cost provider strategy; and
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | we may be unable to recruit a sufficient number of qualified interpreters.
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------

Our continued success depends on continued demand from the primary industries we serve and economic stability.

Our success depends upon continued demand for our services from our customers within the industries we serve. A significant downturn in the insurance, healthcare, financial services or government industries, which together accounted for a
majority of our revenues in 2008, or a trend in any of these industries to reduce or eliminate their use of OPI services may negatively impact our results of operations.

Further, recent events, including the fallout from problems in the U.S. credit markets, indicate a moderate to severe recession in the U.S. and world economies, which could have an impact on our customers and the
volume of business they are able to conduct with us and their ability to pay for services rendered. Additionally, the securities and credit markets have recently been experiencing volatility and disruption, which could impact our ability to access
capital.

Our continued success depends on our customers trend toward outsourcing OPI services.

Our business depends on the continued need for outsourced OPI services as driven by general economic and public policy factors. These trends may not continue, as
businesses and organizations may either elect to perform OPI services in-house or discontinue OPI services, both of which would have a negative effect on our revenues. Additionally, Spanish-English interpretation services accounted for the majority
of our total OPI billed minutes in 2008. A decision by our customers to conduct an increasing amount of OPI services in-house, especially for the rapidly growing Spanish-speaking community, could have an adverse effect on our business, financial
condition and results of operations.

The OPI services market in which we compete is highly competitive and our failure to compete effectively could
erode our market share.

Our failure to compete effectively in the outsourced OPI services market that we serve could erode our market share and
negatively impact our ability to service our debt. We expect that our existing competitors will strive to improve their outsourced OPI services and introduce new services with competitive price and customer service characteristics. From

time to time we may lose customers as a result of competition. Certain of our potential competitors may attempt to leverage their existing infrastructure to
compete with us. For example, a large call center company may have the requisite scale to enter into the OPI services market. If this were to occur, the outsourced OPI industry may become more competitive and may force us to decrease our profit
margins in order to maintain our market position.

Our average revenue per minute has been declining.

We have undertaken a strategy to manage pricing per billed minute as a strategic tool to encourage our customers to purchase more billed minutes and to optimize our
market share. If we are unable to attract sufficient volume to offset lower per minute charges or if average rates per billed minute decrease beyond our expectations, we may be unable to generate revenue growth or maintain current revenue levels in
the future.

Our business could be adversely affected by a variety of factors related to doing business internationally.

We currently conduct operations internationally. Although our OPI services constitute generally accepted business practices in the United States, such practices may not
be accepted in certain international markets. To the extent there is consumer, business or government resistance to the use of OPI services in international markets we target, our international growth prospects could be affected. In addition, our
international operations are subject to numerous inherent challenges and risks, including the difficulties associated with operating in multilingual and multicultural environments, varying and potentially burdensome regulatory requirements,
fluctuations in currency exchange rates, political and economic conditions in various jurisdictions, tariffs and other trade barriers, longer accounts receivable collection cycles, barriers to the repatriation of earnings and potentially adverse tax
consequences. Moreover, expansion into new geographic regions will require considerable management and financial resources and, as a result, may negatively impact our results of operations.

Our continued success depends on our ability to attract and retain qualified personnel.

Our business is labor intensive and places significant importance on our ability to recruit and retain a qualified base of interpreters and technical and professional personnel. We continuously recruit and train
replacement personnel as a result of our changing and expanding work force. A higher turnover rate among our personnel would increase our hiring and training costs and decrease operating efficiencies and productivity. We may not be successful in
attracting and retaining the personnel that we require to conduct our operations successfully.

Our continued success depends on our ability to
retain senior management.

Our success is largely dependent upon the efforts, direction, and guidance of our senior management. Our continued
growth and success also depends in part on our ability to attract and retain qualified managers and on the ability of our executive officers and key employees to manage our operations successfully. The loss of Dennis Dracup, Chief Executive Officer,
Louis Provenzano, President and Chief Operating Officer, or Michael Schmidt, Chief Financial Officer, or our inability to attract, retain or replace key management personnel in the future could have a material adverse effect on our business.

Our business is highly dependent on the availability of telephone service.

Our business is highly dependent upon telephone service provided by various local and long distance telephone companies. Any significant disruption in telephone service could adversely affect our business.
Additionally, limitations on the ability of telephone companies to provide us with increased capacity in the future could adversely affect our growth prospects. Rate increases imposed by these telephone companies would have the effect of increasing
our operating expenses. In addition, our operation of global interpretation centers causes us to rely on the availability of telephone service outside the United States. Any significant disruption in telephone service in the countries where we
operate global interpretation centers could adversely affect our business.

Our business could be adversely affected by an emergency interruption of our operations.

Our operations are dependent upon our ability to protect our OPI interpretation centers against damage that may be caused by fire, power failure, telecommunications
failures, unauthorized intrusion, computer viruses and other emergencies. We have taken precautions to protect ourselves and our customers from events that could interrupt delivery of our services. These precautions include fire protection and
physical security systems, rerouting of telephone calls to one or more of our other OPI interpretation centers in the event of an emergency, backup power generators and a disaster recovery plan. We also maintain business interruption insurance in
amounts that we consider adequate. Notwithstanding such precautions, a fire, natural disaster, human error, equipment malfunction or inadequacy, or other event could result in a prolonged interruption in our ability to provide support services to
our customers.

Our level of indebtedness could adversely affect our ability to raise additional capital to fund our operations, limit our ability to
react to changes in the economy or our industry

At December 31, 2008 we had $364.4 million of outstanding debt. Our degree of leverage could
have important consequences, including the following:



| |  |  | It may limit our ability to obtain additional debt or equity financing for working capital, capital expenditures, debt service requirements, acquisitions, and
general corporate or other purposes;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | A substantial portion of our cash flows from operations will be dedicated to the payment of principal and interest on our indebtedness and will not be available for
other purposes, including our operations, capital expenditures and future business opportunities;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Certain of our borrowings, including our term loan and credit revolver facility are at variable rates of interest, exposing us to the risk of increased interest
rate;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | We may from time to time fail to be in compliance with covenants under our term loan facility, which will require us to seek waivers from our banks.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We cannot predict the outcome of various measures in Congress aimed at limiting the transfer of U.S. jobs overseas.

A number of our interpreters are located in global interpretation centers outside of the United States. Although hourly wages for our off-shore
interpreters are often above the average wage rate in their respective countries, these off-shore interpreters are paid less than comparable U.S.-based interpreters, and the global interpretation centers have a meaningful cost advantage over our
domestic interpretation centers. Several measures have been introduced in Congress aimed at prohibiting, or at least limiting, the transfer of U.S. jobs to foreign countries. It is not clear whether these legislative proposals will eventually become
law or what impact they may have on our business.

|(1) | On June 11, 2004 as part of the Merger, $30.0 million of the Merger consideration was deposited into an escrow account on behalf of the stockholders and optionholders of the
Predecessor to secure their potential indemnity obligations to LLI. Since the Merger, periodic payments from the escrow account have been paid to the stockholders and optionholders of the Predecessor according to a pre-determined payment schedule.
Final settlement of the excrow account was reached with the previous owners on July 25, 2006. In final settlement of the escrow account, the Company received $795,000 for potential tax liabilities. As the Company had already recorded these
additional tax liabilities subsequent to the Merger and concluded there is not a clear and direct link to the orginal purchase price, the settlement amount of $795,000 was recorded into other income in the third quarter of 2006.

Company recognized stock-based compensation of $0.4 million for grants of its Holdings Class C restricted stock units in Selling, General and Administrative for each 2008, 2007 and 2006, consistent with compensation recorded for all employees who
had previously received grants since the Merger date. See further discussion in Note 7, Stock-Based Compensation in our consolidated financial statements.

|ITEM 7: | MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
|------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the Selected Consolidated Financial Data, and the consolidated financial statements and the
related notes thereto included elsewhere in this document. This discussion contains forward-looking statements about our markets, the demand for our products and services and our future results. We based these statements on assumptions that we
consider reasonable. Actual results may differ materially from those suggested by our forward-looking statements for various reasons including those discussed in the Risk Factors and Forward-Looking Statements sections of
this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Introduction

We
believe we are the leading global provider of OPI services from English into more than 170 different languages, 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Our specially-trained, proprietary base of interpreters perform value-added OPI services which
facilitate critical business transactions and delivery of emergency and government services between our customers and LEP speakers throughout the world. In 2008, we helped more than 35 million people communicate across linguistic and cultural
barriers by providing OPI services to our customers. We offer our customers a high-quality, cost-effective alternative to staffing in-house multilingual employees or using face-to-face interpretation. Through our OPI services, we improve our
customers revenue potential, customer service and competitiveness by enhancing their ability to effectively serve the growing population of current and prospective LEP speakers.

Overview of Operations

Our revenues are derived primarily from per minute fees charged to our customers for our
interpretation services. Generally, customers are charged based on actual billed minutes of service and the customers contractual rate per billed minute of service. In addition, the Company generates revenue from complementary services such as
document translation, Video Interpretation services, American Sign Language, and face-to-face interpretation. We recognize revenues when the services have been performed.

Expenses consist primarily of costs of services, selling, general and administrative expenses, depreciation and amortization and interest expense. Costs of services primarily include the cost of our interpreters, call
agents and telecommunications costs.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our significant accounting policies summarized in Note 1Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 15, have
been prepared in accordance with Accounting Principles Generally Accepted in the United States of America (GAAP). In preparing the consolidated financial statements, GAAP requires management to select and apply accounting policies that
involve estimates and judgment. The following accounting policies may require a higher degree of judgment or involve amounts that could have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

Revenue Recognition

Our revenues are primarily generated from
over-the-phone interpretation services and fees. We recognize revenues when the services have been performed and all four of the following revenue recognition criteria have been met (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists,
(ii) delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, (iii) the sellers price to the buyer is fixed or determinable and (iv) collectibility is reasonably assured. We assess whether the fee is fixed or determinable based on
the terms of the contracts or purchase orders entered into with our customers. We assess collection based on a number of factors, including past transaction history with the customer and the credit-worthiness of the customer. We generally do not
require collateral from our customers.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

We maintain an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the failure of customers to make payment. We determine the allowance based upon an evaluation of individual accounts, aging of the
portfolio, issues raised by customers that may suggest non-payment, including the customers credit-worthiness and historical experience, and the current economic environment. While our bad debt losses have historically been within our
expectations and the allowance established, we might not continue to experience the same loss rates that we have in the past. If the financial condition of individual customers or the general worldwide economy were to vary materially from the
estimates and assumptions made by us, the allowance may require adjustment in the future. We evaluate the adequacy of the allowance on a regular basis, modifying, as necessary, its assumptions, updating its record of historical experience and
adjusting reserves as appropriate.

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

We perform our annual impairment analysis of goodwill in the fourth quarter of each year according to the provisions of SFAS 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets (SFAS 142). This statement requires
that we perform a two-step impairment test on goodwill. In the first step, we compare the fair value of each reporting unit to its carrying value. If the fair value of the reporting unit exceeds the carrying value of the net assets assigned to the
reporting unit, goodwill is not impaired and we are not required to perform further testing. If the carrying value of the net assets assigned to the reporting unit exceeds the fair value of the reporting unit, then we must perform the second step of
the impairment testing to determine the implied fair value of the reporting units goodwill. The implied fair value of goodwill is calculated by deducting the fair value of all tangible and intangible assets of the reporting unit, excluding
goodwill, from the fair value of the reporting unit as determined in the first step. If the carrying value of a reporting units goodwill exceeds its implied fair value, then we record an impairment loss equal to the difference.

We performed our annual valuation analysis of goodwill on December 31, 2008 in accordance with SFAS 142 as stated above. Consistent with prior years we have one
reporting unit which is the same as our operating segment.

We determined the fair value of the reporting unit based on a weighting of market and income
approaches. Under the market approach, we estimated the fair value based on market multiples of EBIT and EBITDA. Under the income approach, we measured fair value of the reporting unit based on a projected cash flow method using a discount rate
determined by our management which is commensurate with the risk inherent in our current business model. Our discounted cash flow projections were based on our annual financial forecasts developed internally by management for use in managing our
business and through discussions with the independent valuation firm engaged by us. The significant assumptions of these forecasts included continued revenue growth over the next five years. Given the current economic environment and the
uncertainties regarding the impact on our business, there can be no assurance that the estimates and assumptions made for purposes of our goodwill impairment testing at December 31, 2008 will prove to be accurate predictions of the future. If
our assumptions regarding forecasted revenue or gross margin rates are not achieved, we may be required to record goodwill impairment charges in future periods, whether in connection with the next annual impairment testing or prior to that, if any
change constitutes a triggering event outside of the period when the annual goodwill impairment test is performed. It is not possible at this time to determine if any such future impairment charge would result or, if it does, whether such charge
would be material. We believe that the assumptions and rates used in our impairment test under SFAS 142 are reasonable. However, they are judgmental, and variations in any of the assumptions or rates could result in materially different
calculations of impairment amounts.

Based on our valuation results, we determined that the fair value of our reporting unit continued to exceed its
carrying value. Therefore, management determined that no goodwill impairment charge was required as of December 31, 2008.

We amortize other intangible assets over their estimated useful lives. Customer relationships, internally developed
technology, trade names and trademarks are our most significant other intangible assets. We record an impairment charge on these assets if we determine that their carrying value may not be recoverable. The carrying value is not recoverable if it
exceeds the undiscounted cash flows resulting from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition. Our estimates of future cash flows attributable to our other intangible assets require significant judgment based on our historical and anticipated
results and are subject to many factors. We assess the impairment of identifiable intangibles and other long-lived assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable or that the life of the
asset may need to be revised. Factors we consider important which could trigger an impairment review include the following:



| |  |  | significant negative industry or economic trends;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | significant loss of customers;
| | - |  | ------------------------------



| |  |  | significant changes in the manner of our use of the acquired assets or the strategy for our overall business.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

When we determine that the carrying value of intangibles or other long-lived assets may not be recoverable based upon the existence of one or more of the above
indicators of impairment, we measure the potential impairment based on a projected discounted cash flow method using a discount rate determined by our management to be commensurate with the risk inherent in our current business model. An impairment
loss is recognized only if the carrying amount of the intangible asset or other long-lived asset is not recoverable and exceeds its fair value. Different assumptions and judgments could materially affect the calculation of the fair value of our
other intangible assets.

Stock-Based Compensation

We
account for stock-based compensation in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123(R), Share Based Payment. Under SFAS 123(R), the Company determines the fair value of its Language Line
Holdings, LLC (Holdings) Class C restricted stock units pursuant to the probability-weighted expected return method. Under this method, the value of an enterprises common stock is estimated from an analysis of the future values for
the Company assuming various possible future liquidity events. SFAS 123(R) requires that the Company recognize compensation expense for only the portion of restricted stock units that are expected to vest, rather than recording forfeitures when they
occur, as previously permitted. If the actual number of forfeitures differs from those estimated by management, additional adjustments to compensation expense may be required in future periods.

Income Taxes

In preparing our consolidated financial statements, we
are required to estimate our income taxes in each of the jurisdictions in which we operate. This process involves estimating actual current tax exposures together with assessing tax credits and temporary differences resulting from differing
treatment of certain items for tax and accounting purposes. These differences result in deferred tax assets and liabilities, which are included within the consolidated balance sheet. We then assess the likelihood of additional tax exposure, and to
the extent we believe that additional tax exposure may be likely, we must record a liability for such matters. To the extent we increase this liability in a period; we include an expense within the tax provision in our consolidated statement of
operations. Significant management judgment is also required in evaluating our uncertain tax positions. Our evaluation of uncertain tax positions is based on factors including, but not limited to, changes in facts or circumstances, changes in tax
law, effectively settled issues under audit, and new audit activity. If the actual settlements differ from these estimates or we adjust these estimates in future periods, we may need to recognize a tax benefit or an additional tax charge that could
materially impact our financial position and results of operations.

Significant management judgment is required in determining our provision for income
taxes, income tax credits, deferred tax assets and liabilities. The recording of a liability based on additional tax exposure is based on estimates of taxable income by the jurisdictions in which we operate and the period over which amounts would be
recoverable. In the event that actual results differ from these estimates or we adjust these estimates in future periods, we may need to adjust our income tax liability, which could impact our financial position and results of operations.

In February 2009, California budget legislation was signed into law that, among other things, contained several state tax
law changes that will affect the Companys effective state tax rate. As a result of these changes, the Company will need to re-evaluate its state deferred tax liabilities and assets in the first quarter of 2009, as the effect of changes in tax
laws are accounted for in the period the law changed. The Company is currently evaluating these tax law changes and their impact to the consolidated financial statements.

Claims and Legal Proceedings

In the normal course of business, we are party to various claims and legal proceedings.
We record a reserve for these matters when an adverse outcome is probable and we can reasonably estimate our potential liability. Although the outcome of these matters is currently not determinable, we do not believe that the resolution of these
matters in a manner adverse to our interest will have a material effect upon our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows for any interim or annual period.

Historical Performance

Results of Operations

Recent events, including the fallout from problems in the U.S. credit markets, indicate a moderate to severe
recession in both the U.S. and world economies, which could have an impact on our customers and the volume of business they are able to conduct with us and their ability to pay for services rendered, as well as the prices we are able to charge for
our services.

Year Ended December 31, 2008 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2007.

Revenues for the year ended December 31, 2008 were $212.6 million as compared to $183.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2007, an increase of $29.5
million or 16.1%. This increase in revenue is driven principally by an increase in OPI billed minutes, offset partially by a nominal decline in the average rate per billed minute.

For the year ended December 31, 2008, total costs of services was $69.0 million as compared to $64.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2007, an increase of $4.2 million or 6.5%. This increase was
primarily due to increased interpretation minutes, partially offset by a lower cost per minute, as a result of lower interpreter costs.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 2008 were $38.9 million as compared to
$32.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2007, an increase of $6.5 million or 20.0%. This increase was primarily due to higher sales and marketing costs of $2.0 million, operations support costs of $0.7 million and information technology
and telecom admin of $0.5 million, and overall increases in all other general and administrative costs.

Interest expense for the year ended
December 31, 2008 was $35.6 million as compared to $41.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2007, a decrease of $5.7 million or 13.7%. This was primarily due to a decrease in the interest rate on our senior secured debt (at
December 31, 2008 the rate was 4.71% as compared to 8.34% at December 31, 2007), combined with a lower average principal balance during the period for our term loan.

Depreciation and amortization was $29.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2008 as compared to $31.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2007, a decrease of $1.9 million or 6%. This decrease was
primarily due to an intangible asset which became fully amortized during 2007.

Interest income for the year ended December 31, 2008 was $0.4 million
as compared to $0.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2007, a decrease of $0.5 million or 61.3%. This decrease was the result of lower interest rates in 2008 compared to 2007.

Tax expense on income for the year ended December 31, 2008 was $13.5 million compared to $5.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2007, an increase of $8.3 million, primarily due to a $26.1 million
change in pretax results of operations, from income before taxes of $14.7 million in 2007 to income before income taxes of $40.8 million in 2008. The effective tax rate for the year ended December 31, 2008 was 33.0% as compared to a 35.7% for
the year ended December 31, 2007. The primary reason for the decrease was due to certain of our previously unrecognized tax benefits being recognized in 2008 due to the lapse of statute of limitations as a reduction in our recorded tax expense.

Other income for the year ended December 31, 2008 was $0.7 million compared to $0.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2007. This increase
is primarily due to fees charged on accounts receivable balances in excess of 30 days, which the Company began assessing in 2008.

As a result of the
factors described above, net income was $27.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2008 as compared to $9.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2007.

Year Ended December 31, 2007 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2006.

Revenues for the year ended
December 31, 2007 were $183.2 million as compared to $163.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2006, an increase of $19.9 million or 12.2%. The majority of this increase in revenue is driven by a moderate increase in OPI billed
minutes, offset partially by a nominal decline in the average rate per billed minute.

For the year ended December 31, 2007, total costs of services
was $64.8 million as compared to $57.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2006, an increase of $6.9 million or 11.9%. This increase was primarily due to increased interpretation minutes, partially offset by efficiencies gained from
continued business process improvements.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 2007 were $32.4 million as
compared to $28.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2006, an increase of $3.5 million or 12.1%. This increase was primarily due to higher interpreter support and recruiting costs coupled with an increase in sales and marketing
initiatives.

Interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2007 was $41.3 million as compared to $44.0 million for the year ended
December 31, 2006, a decrease of $2.7 million or 6.1%. This decrease was primarily due to a decrease in the interest rate in 2007 versus 2006 on our term loan combined with a reduction in the principle balance of our term loan.

Depreciation and amortization was $31.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2007 as compared to $36.4 million
for the year ended December 31, 2006, a decrease of $5.1 million or 14.0%. This decrease was principally attributable to intangible assets becoming fully amortized in 2007 and 2006.

Interest income for the year ended December 31, 2007 was $0.9 million as compared to $0.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2006, an increase of $0.1 million or 12.5%. This increase was the result of
higher interest rates.

Escrow settlement of $795,000 for the year ended December 31, 2006 was a result of final settlement of the escrow account
related to the Merger. Final settlement of the escrow account was reached with the previous owners on July 25, 2006. In final settlement of the escrow account, the Company received $795,000 for potential tax liabilities. As the Company had
already recorded these additional tax liabilities subsequent to the Merger and concluded there is not a clear and direct link to the original purchase price, the settlement amount of $795,000 was recorded into other income in the third quarter of
2006.

Tax expense on income for the year ended December 31, 2007 was $5.2 million compared to $.01 million of tax benefit on loss for the year ended
December 31, 2006, a change of $5.3 million, primarily due to a $16.9 million change in pretax results of operations, from a loss before income taxes of $2.2 million in 2006 to income before income taxes of $14.7 million in 2007. The effective
tax rate for the year ended December 31, 2007 was 35.7% as compared to a 4.2% tax benefit for the year ended December 31, 2006. The change in the effective rate is primarily due to (1) expenses not deductible for tax purposes
(principally expenses related to a stock compensation plan), which increase the effective rate of tax expense on income and decrease the effective rate of benefit on loss and (2) decreases in unrecognized state tax benefits in 2007 relating to
settlements with taxing authorities and lapses of applicable statutes of limitations.

Other income for the year ended December 31, 2007 was $0.3
million. This amount is the interest charged to our customers for overdue balances on their account.

As a result of the factors described above, net
income was $9.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2007 as compared to a net loss of $2.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2006, an increase of $11.5 million or 547.6%.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Operating Activities. Net
cash provided by operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2008 was $40.8 million. This reflects net income of $27.3 million and non-cash charges of $32.8 million, offset principally by cash used for operating assets and liabilities
(net) of $13.2 million and a decrease in deferred income taxes of $6.2 million. Non-cash charges include depreciation and amortization, amortization of deferred financing costs, accretion of discount on long-term debt, and stock based compensation.
Net cash provided by operating activities for year ended December 31, 2007 was $33.8 million. This reflects a net income of $9.4 million, non-cash charges of $34.6 million, offset by cash used for operating assets and liabilities (net) of $4.3
million and a decrease in deferred income taxes of $5.9 million. Net cash provided by operating activities was $30.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2006. This reflects principally a net loss of $2.1 million and a decrease in deferred
income taxes of $7.9 million, offset by non-cash charges of $39.2 million

Investing Activities. Net cash used in investing activities was $4.0
million for the year ended December 31, 2008. This reflects principally capital expenditures of $3.9 million for the year. Net cash used in investing activities was $2.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2007. This reflects
principally capital expenditures of $2.7 million for the year. Net cash used in investing activities was $2.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2006, reflecting capital expenditures for the year.

Financing Activities. Net cash used in financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2008 was $35.6 million. This reflects payments made on our senior
secured debt of $17.5 million and a dividend distribution in the amount of $18.1 million to Language Line Holding II, Inc. an affiliated non-consolidated entity under the ultimate parent, Language Line

Holdings, LLC. Net cash used in financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2007 was $37.3 million. This reflects payments made on our senior
secured debt of $17.3 million and a dividend distribution in the amount of $20.0 million. Net cash used by financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2006 was $21.0 million, reflecting long-term debt repayments of $18.6 million,
coupled with loan fees and other financing costs of $2.3 million. At December 31, 2008 the maximum amount available under the revolving credit facility was $40.0 million, and no balance is outstanding.

Our principal sources of liquidity are cash flow from operations and borrowings available under our revolver credit facility. We believe that these funds will provide us
with sufficient liquidity and capital resources for us to meet our financial obligations for the next 12 months, including our scheduled principal and interest payments, as well as to provide funds for working capital, capital expenditures, and
other needs. Our principal uses of cash are debt service requirements, capital expenditures, and working capital requirements. We believe these same venues (cash flow from operations and credit facility availability through June 2010) will continue
to provide us with sufficient liquidity and capital resources for us to meet our operating capital needs through June 2010. We expect to generate positive working capital through our operations. However, we cannot predict whether our current
operating trends and conditions will continue, or the effect on our business from the competitive environment in which we operate.

Debt Service. As
of December 31, 2008, we had total indebtedness of $364.4 million and $40.0 million of borrowings available under our revolver credit facility, as defined in our loan agreement, of which $0 is outstanding.

The senior secured credit facilities consist of a six-year $40.0 million revolving credit facility and a seven-year amortizing $285.0 million term loan facility.
Borrowings under the senior credit facilities generally bear interest based on a margin over, at our option, the lenders base rate or the reserve-adjusted LIBOR. The applicable margin for revolving credit loans will vary based upon our senior
leverage ratio as defined in the senior credit facilities. The senior credit facilities are collateralized by first priority interests in, and mortgages on, substantially all of our tangible and intangible assets and first priority pledges of all
the equity interest owned by us in our existing and future domestic subsidiaries.

On June 11, 2004 Language Line, Inc. issued $165 million of
11 1/8% Senior Subordinated Notes (the Notes) for net proceeds of $160.8 million. Interest is payable on June 15 and December 15 of each year. The Notes will mature on June 15, 2012. LLI may redeem some or all of the
notes at any time on or after June 15, 2008 at the redemption prices set forth. The notes are unsecured and are subordinated to all existing and future senior indebtedness. Each of LLIs domestic subsidiaries guarantee the notes on a
senior subordinated basis.

On November 14, 2006, the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the Agreement) which
amends and restates the Original Credit Agreement dated as of June 11, 2004 and amended as of November 3, 2005, among LLI, the Company and the subsidiary guarantors party thereto.

The Agreement effects a refinancing and replacement of the Tranche B Term Loans outstanding under the Original Credit Agreement with a new class of Term Loans designated
as Tranche B-1 Term Loans. The aggregate principal amount of the modified loan is equal to the aggregate principal amount of original loan under the Original Credit Agreement. The modified loan has terms, rights and obligations
materially identical to the original loan except that the Applicable Margin for borrowings under the modified loan is 3.25% in the case of Eurodollar loans and 2.25% in the case of Alternate Base Rate Loans. In addition, the Agreement amended
related definitions and contained immaterial modifications to various other provisions of the Original Credit Agreement.

Capital Expenditures. We
expect to spend approximately $4.0 million in 2009 to fund our capital expenditures as well as normal investments in telecommunications and company equipment. We plan to fund these expenditures through net cash flows from operations.

We believe that the cash generated from operations will be sufficient to meet our debt service, capital expenditures and working capital requirements. Subject to
restrictions in our senior secured credit facilities and the indentures governing the notes, we may incur more debt for working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions and for other purposes. In addition, we may require additional financing if
our plans materially change in an adverse manner or prove to be materially inaccurate. There can be no assurance that such financing, if permitted under the terms of our debt agreements, will be available on terms acceptable to us or at all.

Recent events, including the fallout from problems in the U.S. credit markets, indicate a moderate to severe recession in
the U.S. and world economies, which could have an impact on our customers and the volume of business they are able to conduct with us, as well as the prices we able to charge for our services. Additionally, the securities and credit markets have
recently been experiencing volatility and disruption, which could impact our ability to access capital. Our principal sources of liquidity are cash flow from operations and borrowings available under our revolver credit facility. We believe that
these funds will be sufficient to meet our debt service, capital expenditures and working capital requirements. Subject to restrictions in our senior secured credit facilities and the indentures governing the notes, we may incur more debt for
working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions and for other purposes. In addition, we may require additional financing if our plans materially change in an adverse manner or prove to be materially inaccurate. There can be no assurance that
such financing, if permitted under the terms of our debt agreements, will be available on terms acceptable to us or at all. However, we believe the lenders participating in our revolver credit facility will be willing and able to provide financing
in accordance with the terms of the agreement, and to date, our access to credit under our revolving credit facility has not been adversely affected by recent market conditions. Finally, we monitor the financial strength of our third-party financial
institutions, including those that hold our cash, and attempt to diversify our concentration of cash that we hold at any point in time.

Interest payments with respect to the senior secured credit
facilities assume a variable rate of 4.71%, which represents the most recent rate applicable to these facilitities. The senior subordinated notes issued by Language Line, Inc. are 111/8% fixed rate notes.

The expected timing of payment of the obligations
discussed above is estimated based on current information. Timing of payments and actual amounts paid may be different depending on the time of receipt of services of changes to agreed-upon amounts for some obligations.

statements. The Company incurred $257,000 of acquisition related costs in 2005 which were reported as a loan to Language Line UK on the Companys balance sheet as of December 31, 2005. Subsequently the Company received a full amount of
settlement on January 20, 2006 when the acquisition was completed. The company has a contract to provide administrative and sales support services to Language Line UK for a fixed monthly fee. The Company recognized revenue of approximately
$236,000, $234,000 and $480,000 for the years ended December 31, 2008, December 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively for administrative and sales support services it rendered to Language Line UK.

The operations of the Company and subsidiaries are included in the consolidated federal and state income tax returns of its parent, Language Line Holdings, Inc. and its
ultimate parent, Language Line Holdings, II Inc. The Company and subsidiaries manage the respective tax payments and refunds for both Language Line Holdings, Inc. and Language Line Holdings, II Inc. Included in the consolidated balance sheet at
December 31, 2008 and 2007 are amounts owed to Language Line Holdings, Inc. and Language Line Holdings, II Inc. of $2,641,000 and $1,874,000 under this arrangement. These amounts are presented separately from the amounts that are receivable or
payable (from/to) taxing authorities for federal and state income taxes. In prior periods amounts owed to Language Line Holdings, Inc. and Language Line Holdings, II Inc. were offset against amounts due from/to taxing authorities in the balance
sheet. The Company has revised this presentation in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2007.

Recent Accounting
Pronouncements

In February 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value
Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities  Including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115 (SFAS 159). SFAS No. 159 permits an entity to elect fair value as the initial and subsequent
measurement attribute for many financial assets and liabilities. Entities electing the fair value option would be required to recognize changes in fair value in earnings. Entities electing the fair value option are required to distinguish,
on the face of the statement of financial position, the fair value of assets and liabilities for which the fair value option has been elected and similar assets and liabilities measured using another measurement attribute. SFAS 159 is
effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The adjustment to reflect the difference between the fair value and the carrying amount would be accounted for as a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the
date of initial adoption. We elected not to adopt the fair value option for any financial assets and liabilities.

In December 2007, the FASB issued
SFAS No. 141 (Revised 2007), Business Combinations (SFAS 141(R)). SFAS 141(R) establishes principles and requirements for how an acquirer in a business combination recognizes and measures in its financial
statements the identifiable assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interests in the acquiree, as well as the goodwill acquired. Significant changes from current practice resulting from SFAS 141(R) include the expansion of
the definitions of a business and a business combination. For all business combinations (whether partial, full or step acquisitions), the acquirer will record 100% of all assets and liabilities of the acquired business,
including goodwill, generally at their fair values; contingent consideration will be recognized at its fair value on the acquisition date and, for certain arrangements, changes in fair value will be recognized in earnings until settlement; and
acquisition-related transaction and restructuring costs will be expensed as incurred rather than treated as part of the cost of the acquisition; reversals of valuation allowances related to acquired deferred tax assets and changes to acquired income
tax uncertainties will be recognized in earnings; and, when making adjustments to finalize preliminary accounting, acquirers will revise any previously issued post-acquisition financial information in future financial statements to reflect any
adjustments as if they occurred on the acquisition date. SFAS 141(R) also establishes disclosure requirements to enable users to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. SFAS 141(R) applies prospectively to
business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Earlier adoption is not permitted. SFAS 141(R) may have an impact on the
Companys consolidated financial statements when effective in the event a business combination occurs. The nature and magnitude of the specific effects will depend upon the nature, terms and size of the acquisition consummated after the
effective date.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial
Statements  An amendment of ARB No. 51 (SFAS 160). SFAS 160 amends Accounting Research Bulletin 51 Consolidated Financial Statements to establish accounting and reporting standards for the
noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. It clarifies that a noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary, which is sometimes referred to as minority interest, is a third-party ownership interest in the
consolidated entity that should be reported as a component of equity in the consolidated financial statements. Among other requirements, SFAS 160 requires the consolidated statement of income to be reported at amounts that include the amounts
attributable to both the parent and the noncontrolling interest. SFAS 160 also requires disclosure on the face of the consolidated statement of income of the amounts of consolidated net income attributable to the parent and to the
noncontrolling interest. SFAS 160 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Earlier adoption is prohibited. Currently, we do not have any non-controlling
interests (ownership interests in a subsidiary that are held by owners other than us) recorded in our financial statements. The adoption of SFAS 160 is not expected to have a material impact on our financial statements.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurement (SFAS 157), which defines fair value, establishes a framework for
measuring fair value under GAAP, and expands disclosure requirements about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 applies to other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements. The fair value measurement of financial assets
and financial liabilities is effective for us beginning in fiscal year 2008. Three FASB Staff Positions (FSP) on this statement were subsequently issued. FSP No. 157-1, issued on February 14, 2008, excluded SFAS No. 13,
Accounting for Leases (SFAS 13), and other accounting pronouncements that address fair value measurements for purposes of lease classification or measurement under SFAS 13. However, this scope exception does not apply to
assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination, which are required to be measured at fair value under SFAS No. 141, Business Combinations or SFAS 141(R), regardless of whether those assets and liabilities are
related to leases. This FSP was effective upon our initial adoption of SFAS 157. FSP No. 157-2, issued on February 12, 2008, delayed the effective date of this statement for non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities that are
recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a nonrecurring basis. This FSP will be effective for us in fiscal year 2009. FSP No. 157-3, issued in October 2008 and effective upon issuance, clarifies how SFAS 157 should
be applied when valuing securities in markets that are not active by illustrating key considerations in determining fair value. Our adoption of this statement on January 1, 2008 is limited to financial assets and liabilities, and did not have a
material impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. The adoption of FSP No. 157-2 is not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In April 2008, the FASB issued FSP No. 142-3, Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets (FSP 142-3). This FSP amends the factors
that should be considered in developing renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under FASB Statement No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. FSP 142-3 applies to intangible
assets that are acquired individually or with a group of other assets after the effective date of either a business combination or an asset acquisition. The intent of this FSP is to improve the consistency between the useful life of a recognized
intangible asset under Statement 142 and the period of expected cash flows used to measure the fair value of the asset under SFAS 141(R) and other U.S. GAAP. The FSP also contains new disclosure requirements with respect to recognized intangible
assets. This FSP is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and for interim periods within such fiscal years. We are currently evaluating the potential impact of this statement on our consolidated financial statements.

In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. SFAS 162 identifies the sources of
accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles to be used in the preparation of financial statements of nongovernmental entities that are presented in conformity with U.S. GAAP. SFAS 162 will become effective 60 days following
the SECs approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board amendments to AU Section 411, The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity With Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. This statement did not result in
a change in our current practice.

Escrow Settlement

On
June 11, 2004 as part of the Merger, $30.0 million of the Merger consideration was deposited into an escrow account on behalf of the stockholders and optionholders of the Predecessor to secure their potential indemnity obligations to LLI. Since
the Merger, periodic payments from the escrow account have been paid to the stockholders and optionholders of the Predecessor according to a pre-determined payment schedule. Final settlement of the escrow account was reached with the previous owners
on July 25, 2006. In final settlement of the escrow account, the Company received $795,000 for potential tax liabilities. As the Company had already recorded these additional tax liabilities subsequent to the Merger and concluded there is not a
clear and direct link to the original purchase price, the settlement amount of $795,000 was recorded into other income in the third quarter of 2006.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have any relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, such as entities
often referred to as structured finance or special purpose entities, which would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or other contractually narrow or limited purposes.



|ITEM 7A: | QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
|-------- | ----------------------------------------------------------

We are
exposed to certain market risks as part of our ongoing business operations. Market risk is the potential loss arising from adverse changes in market rates and prices, general credit, foreign currency exchange rate fluctuation, liquidity and interest
rate risks, which may be exacerbated by the tightening of the global credit markets and the heightened economic uncertainty that have affected various sectors of the financial markets. We do not enter into derivatives or other financial instruments
for trading or speculative purposes. Our primary exposure includes changes in interest rates, as borrowings under our senior secured credit facilities bear interest at floating rates based on LIBOR or the base rate, in each case plus an applicable
borrowing margin. We will manage our interest rate risk by balancing our amount of fixed-rate and floating-rate debt. For fixed-rate debt, interest rate changes do not affect our earnings or cash flows. Conversely, for floating-rate debt, interest
rate changes generally impact our earnings and cash flows, assuming other factors are held constant.

As of December 31, 2008, we had $165 million
principal amount of fixed-rate debt and $241.7 million of available floating-rate debt (of which we borrowed $201.7 million). Based on the amounts outstanding under the revolver credit facility and the term loan, a hypothetical increase of one
percentage point would cause an increase to interest expense of approximately $2.0 million on an annual basis on the floating rate debt.

Changes in
economic conditions could result in higher interest rates, thereby increasing our interest expense and other operating expenses and reducing our funds available for capital investment, operations or other purposes. In addition, a substantial portion
of our cash flow must be used to service debt, which may affect our ability to make future acquisitions or capital expenditures. We may from time to time use interest rate protection agreements to minimize our exposure to interest rate fluctuation.
However, there can be no assurance that hedges will achieve the desired effect. No such interest rate protection agreements were entered into during 2008. We may experience economic loss and a negative impact on earnings or net assets as a result of
interest rate fluctuations.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The
Companys management, with the participation of the Companys principal executive officer and principal financial officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the Companys disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in
Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on such evaluation, the Companys principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that, as of the
end of such period, the Companys disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

Managements Report on Internal Control Over Financial
Reporting

The Companys management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined
in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act. Under the supervision and with the participation of the Companys management, including its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, the Companys management
conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of its internal control over financial reporting based on criteria established in the framework in Internal Control  Integrated Frameworkissued by the Committee of Sponsoring
Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on this evaluation, the Companys management concluded that its internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2008.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of
effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risks that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

This annual report does not include an attestation report of the companys registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting.
Managements report was not subject to attestation by the companys registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the Company to provide only managements report in
this annual report.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

During the last fiscal quarter, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control
over financial reporting.

Code of Business Conduct and Ethics

Our Company has adopted a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics (the Code) applicable to our Companys directors, officers (including the Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Controller and
persons performing similar functions), employees, agents and consultants. Our Code satisfies the requirements of a code of ethics within the meaning of Section 406 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and the rules issued by the
Securities and Exchange Commission thereunder. Amendments to, or waivers from, a provision of our Code that apply to our Companys directors or executive officers, including the Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Controller and
persons performing similar functions, may be made only by the Companys board of directors. Our Company has not amended the Code and has filed the Code as an exhibit to this Annual Report on Form 10-K.



|ITEM 11: | EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
|-------- | ----------------------

Because affiliates of ABRY own more than
50% of the voting common stock of Language Line Holdings, LLC (Holdings), we are a controlled company within the meaning of Rule 4350(c)(5) of the Nasdaq Marketplace rules. As a controlled company, we qualify for
exemptions from certain corporate governance rules of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC, including the requirement that executive compensation be determined by a majority of independent directors or a compensation committee comprised solely of independent
directors. Our Compensation Committee is comprised solely of non-employee directors, consisting of Peggy Koenig, C.J. Brucato and Azra Kanji, with Peggy Koenig acting as the chairperson.

The Compensation Committee has reviewed and discussed the Compensation Discussion and Analysis with management and, based upon its review and discussions, the Compensation Committee recommended to the board of
directors that the Compensation Discussion and Analysis be included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K.

This report has been provided by the Compensation
Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company.

COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Our Compensation Committee is
responsible for reviewing and approving the compensation of our named executive officers, as well as reviewing and approving our incentive plans. The review and approval of compensation and incentives to be awarded by the Compensation Committee to
the named executive officers is typically undertaken on an annual basis as part of the Companys budget review process. Once the Compensation Committee has completed its review and approval process, the Compensation Committee submits its
recommendations to the board of directors for the board of directors for further review, discussion and final approval.

Compensation Objectives

We believe that our compensation program must support our strategy, be competitive, and provide both significant rewards for outstanding performance and
clear financial consequences for underperformance. We also believe that a significant portion of the named executive officers compensation should be at risk in the form of annual and long-term incentive awards that are paid, if at
all, based upon company performance. The compensation awarded to our named executive officers for fiscal 2008, as well as prior years, was intended:



| |  |  | To encourage and reward strong performance; and
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------



26



---

##### Table of Contents

| |  |  | To motivate our named executive officers by providing them with a meaningful equity stake in the company.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The accounting and cost implications of our compensation program are considered in program design; however, the main driver of design is alignment with our business
needs.

Role of the Compensation Committee and Executive Officers

Compensation for our chief executive officer is set forth in his Employment Agreement. Equity awards to the chief executive officer are made solely at the discretion of the Compensation Committee. The chief executive
officer has been awarded two grants: the first as part of his initial Employment Agreement and the second subsequent to the successful acquisition of Language Line Limited in 2006. The Compensation Committee submits its recommendations to the board
of directors for final approval.

Following an evaluation of the companys performance and expectations for the coming year, our chief executive
officer makes compensation recommendations to the Compensation Committee for our executive officers, including chief financial officer and president/chief operating officer, that are generally, with minor adjustments, approved by the Compensation
Committee. Our chief executive officer also recommends to the Compensation Committee the amount of any equity compensation to be awarded to our executive officers, including chief financial officer and president/chief operating officer. Once the
Compensation Committee has approved the chief executive officers recommendations, the Compensation Committee submits its recommendations to the board of directors for final approval.

The board of directors approves all compensation and equity awards to our executive officers, including our chief executive officer, chief financial officer and
president/chief operating officer.

Elements of our Compensation Program

Base Salary

Base salary is intended to provide cash compensation to the named executive officers for their
performance of core duties. The Compensation Committee reviews and approves base salary recommendations as presented by the chief executive officer. Base salary recommendations are intended to approximate the market value of a position, based upon
analysis of similar positions with essentially the same job responsibilities. Market value data is provided to the Company by executive search firms during the normal recruitment process.

Annual salary increases are defined for the chief executive officer in his employment agreement, and are granted to the balance of our executive officers based on
inflationary wage increases granted, if any, to all employees as part of the operating budget approval process. Current economic conditions are also considered in this process. During 2008 general wage increases of five percent were granted to our
chief executive officer and three percent were granted to our executive officers, including our chief financial officer and president/chief operating officer.

Annual Incentives

Annual incentives in the form of the Companys Bonus Plan are intended to tie a significant portion of
each of the named executive officers compensation to our annual performance. The annual incentives paid in 2009 for 2008 were based upon the performance of the Company in 2008.

The Bonus Plan for our chief executive officer, chief financial officer and president/chief operating officer is tied to achievement of EBITDA targets set in the chief executive officers employment contract, and
the chief financial officer and president/chief operating officer employment offer letters. The Bonus Plan for the balance of our executive officers is tied to both revenue and EBITDA growth over the prior year. In addition, the board of directors
reserves the right to adjust annual incentives for extraordinary or unusual items; although in practice this right has not historically been administered to a material effect.



27



---

##### Table of Contents

In 2008 the company exceeded its EBITDA target by 27%, resulting in a bonus earned by our chief executive officer of
67.5% of salary and bonuses for our chief financial officer and president/chief operating officer of 83.8% of salaries. In 2008, revenue and EBITDA growth over the prior year were approximately 15% and 18%, respectively, resulting in bonuses earned
by our other named executive officers of 65.0% of their base salaries.

There are no policies regarding the recovery of awards or payments in the event the
performance measures upon which the awards or payments are based are restated or otherwise adjusted in a manner that would have reduced the size of the awards or payments.

The Company does not utilize any other non-equity incentive compensation plans.

Long-Term Incentives

We believe that our long term success depends upon aligning executives and ownerships interests. To support this objective, we provide our executives with
means to become significant equity holders in the business of the Company through the issuance of Class C restricted stock units of our ultimate parent, Holdings, which we believe support the long-term retention of executives and reinforce our
longer-term goals.

Equity Ownership.The Class C restricted stock units of Holdings vest according to a specified schedule and will
be expensed to compensation over the five year vesting period. Vesting will accelerate upon a change of control of Holdings, (as such term is defined in the applicable incentive unit agreement) and upon certain types of sale of the Company. Vesting
will cease if the individual ceases to be employed by Holdings or any of its subsidiaries. If the individual ceases to be employed by Holdings, or any of its subsidiaries, Holdings will have the option to purchase all or any portion of the vested
and/or the unvested Class C restricted stock units. The aggregate purchase price for all unvested units will be $1.00, and the purchase price for each vested unit will be the fair market value for such unit as of the date of individuals
termination. If, however, the Company terminates the individuals employment for cause, the aggregate purchase price of all vested units will be $1.00. Holdings right to repurchase the individuals units will terminate upon a change
of control, provided that the individual is employed by Holdings, or any of its subsidiaries at the time of the change of control.

Historically, the date
upon which restricted stock unit awards have been granted has not been fixed, but are considered upon the recommendation of the chief executive officer. If we do grant restricted stock unit awards in the future, they will be presented to the both
Compensation Committee and Board of Directors for review and approval before being granted.

Option Awards.We do not currently
utilize options as part of our executive compensation program.

Compensation Determination

In determining compensation amounts awarded, the Compensation Committee focused primarily on both revenue and EBITDA growth during fiscal year 2008 in addition to
adjusting base salaries as deemed appropriate.

Supplemental Benefits, Deferred Compensation and Perquisites

We do not provide supplemental benefits and perquisites for executives. None of our named executive officers have deferred any portion of their compensation, except for
401(k) contributions and medical benefits paid.

Our Benefit Plans

We also provide a variety of standard welfare benefits to our employees, such as medical, dental, vision, short-term and long-term disability, and life insurance and accidental death and dismemberment benefits. A
flexible spending plan, an employee assistance program and incentive compensation is also provided to employees.

Employment Agreements

Generally, we do not favor employment agreements unless they are required to attract or retain an executive to the Company. We have entered into an employment agreement with our Chief Executive Officer, Dennis G. Dracup, as described in the
narrative accompanying the Summary Compensation Table. The employment agreement with Mr. Dracup was essential to attract and/or retain his services. The remaining named executive officers are employed on an at will basis and do not
have an employment agreement with the Company.

In addition, the balance of the named officers have executed offer letters setting forth their beginning
base salary and their eligibility to participate in the Companys Bonus Plan. There is no length of employment provisions in any of their respective offer letters.

##### Table of Contents

The table below reflects the amount of compensation to Mr. Dracup in the event of a termination or, if applicable,
upon a change of control. The amounts shown assume that such a termination or change of control was effective as of December 31, 2008, and thus includes amounts earned through such time and are estimates of the amounts which would be paid upon
termination or change of control. The actual amounts to be paid can only be determined at the time of Mr. Dracups separation from us or the change of control.

Incentive Unit Agreements

The named executives are party to
incentive unit agreements pursuant to which our ultimate parent, Holdings, issued Class C restricted stock units. The units will vest annually over a five year period on the anniversary date of the grant as follows; (a) first anniversary 10%
vested (b) second anniversary 30% vested (c) third anniversary 50% vested (d) fourth anniversary 75% vested and (e) fifth anniversary 100% vested. Vesting will accelerate upon a change of control of Holdings and upon certain
types of sale of the Company. Vesting will cease if the named executive ceases to be employed by Holdings or any of its subsidiaries. If the named executive ceases to be employed by Holdings or any of its subsidiaries, Holdings will have the option
to purchase all or any portion of the vested and/or the unvested Class C restricted stock units. The aggregate purchase price for all unvested units is $1.00, and the purchase price for each vested unit will be the fair market value for such unit as
of the date of termination. If, however, we terminate the named executives employment for cause, the aggregate purchase price for all vested units will be $1.00. Holdings right to repurchase a named executives units will terminate upon a
change of control (as such term is defined in the incentive share unit agreement), provided that the named executive is employed by Holdings or any of its subsidiaries at the time of the change of control.

|ITEM 13: | CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE
|-------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------

Members Agreement

In connection with the Merger, the members of Holdings entered into a Members Agreement. Pursuant to the Members
Agreement, such members agreed to vote their equity interests in Holdings so that the following directors are elected to the board of managers of Holdings: (i) three directors designated by ABRY Partners IV, L.P., (ii) the then current
chief executive officer of Holdings, who shall initially be (and currently is) Dennis G. Dracup and (iii) the then current chief financial officer of Holdings, who currently is Michael F. Schmidt. The Members Agreement also contains:



| |  |  | tag-along sale rights exercisable by all investors in the event of sales of equity interests by ABRY Partners, LLC to unaffiliated third parties;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | drag-along sale rights exercisable by the board of managers of Holdings and holders of a majority of the then outstanding voting equity interests in the
event of an Approved Sale, as defined in the Members Agreement;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | preemptive rights; and
| | - |  | ----------------------



| |  |  | restrictions on transfers of membership interests by management and other key employees absent written authorization of the Board of Directors, except in certain
circumstances.
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In 2007, concurrent with the resignation of the Chief Financial Officer, Jeffrey Grace, Mr. Schmidt was appointed
the Companys new Chief Financial Officer, and also replaced Mr. Graces director role.

The voting restrictions and tag-along, drag-along
and transfer restrictions will terminate upon consummation of the first to occur of a Qualified Public Offering, as defined in the Members Agreement, or an Approved Sale.

Indemnification

Holdings Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement, dated as of June 11,
2004, provides for indemnification of directors and officers, including advancement of reasonable attorneys fees and other expenses, in connection with all claims, liabilities and expenses arising out of the management of Holdings affairs.
Such indemnification obligations are limited to the extent that Holdings assets are sufficient to cover such obligations. Holdings carries directors and officers insurance that covers such exposure for indemnification up to certain limits. While
Holdings may be subject to various proceedings in the ordinary course of business that involve claims against directors and officers, we believe that such claims are routine in nature and incidental to the conduct of Holdings business. None of such
claims, if determined adversely against such directors and officers, would have a material adverse effect on Holdings consolidated financial condition or results of operations. As of the closing of the Merger, Holdings had not accrued any amounts to
cover indemnification obligations arising from such claims.

Registration Rights Agreement

In connection with the Merger, the members of Language Line Holdings, LLC entered into a Registration Rights Agreement. Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, the
holders of a majority of the Investor Registrable Securities, as defined therein, have the ability to cause us to register securities of the Company held by parties to the Registration Rights Agreement and to participate in registrations by us of
our Registrable Securities, as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement. All holders of Registrable Securities are subject to customary lock-up arrangements in connection with public offerings.

Reimbursement Agreement

In connection with the Merger, we entered
into a Reimbursement Agreement. Pursuant to the Reimbursement Agreement, we agreed to reimburse ABRY for all out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with the Merger and related transactions or their ownership of equity interests of Language
Line Holdings, LLC.

Transactions

In
January 2008, the Companys ultimate parent, Language Line Holdings, LLC completed its acquisition of Coto Holdings, LLC (Coto), a previously unaffiliated company. As part of an affiliate and intercompany services agreement executed
between the Company, its parent and Coto, the Company is to provide certain management, interpretation and other defined services to Coto.

As
consideration for these management services, Coto is charged a management fee by the Company equal to $500,000 per quarter. Management fees earned by the Company for the year ended December 31, 2008, included in revenues in the accompanying
statements of operations, totaled $1,945,000.

Additionally, Coto is charged a fee to reimburse the Company for costs it incurs for providing
interpretation services, certain of their equipment and other miscellaneous costs. Reimbursable charges to Coto for interpreters and equipment, netted against cost of revenues for the year ended December 31, 2008 totaled $13,127,000. Finally,
reimbursable charges to Coto for other miscellaneous (indirect) costs netted against selling, general and administrative expenses totaled $870,000 for the year ended December 31, 2008. At December 31, 2008, Coto owed the Company an
aggregate of $2,387,000 related to these services and charges.

The Company believes that the terms and nature of the transactions are no less favorable
than those available with unrelated parties.

Board of Directors

The board is currently composed of six directors, none of whom is likely to qualify as an independent director based on the definition of independent director set forth in Rule 4200(a)(15) of the Nasdaq
Marketplace rules. Because affiliates of ABRY own more than 50% of the voting common stock of Holdings, we are a controlled company within the meaning of Rule 4350(c)(5) of the Nasdaq Marketplace rules, which qualifies us for
exemptions from certain corporate governance rules of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC, including the requirement that the board of directors be composed of a majority of independent directors.

financial statements, review of financial statements included in our Companys quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, and other services normally provided in connection with statutory and regulatory filings. Tax Fees consisted of fees
billed for tax payment planning and tax preparation services.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of Language Line, Inc.:

In
our opinion, the consolidated financial statements listed in the index appearing under Item 15 (a) (1) present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Language Line, Inc. and its subsidiaries at December 31,
2008 and 2007, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2008 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. In addition,
in our opinion, the financial statement schedule listed in the index appearing in Item15 (a)(2) presents fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein when read in conjunction with the related consolidated financial statements.
These financial statements and financial statement schedule are the responsibility of the Companys management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial statement schedule based on our audits. We
conducted our audits of these statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the
financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

As
discussed in Note 5 to the consolidated financial statements, in 2007 the Company changed the manner in which it accounts for uncertain tax positions.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

1. Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

OrganizationLanguage Line Holdings, Inc. (the Predecessor) was a Delaware corporation formed in December 1999 as a holding company for Language Line, LLC (LLC) and its subsidiaries. LLC was
incorporated during February 1999 as a Delaware limited liability company. The Predecessor was acquired on June 11, 2004 by Language Line, Inc. (LLI or the Company) in a transaction accounted for under the purchase
method of accounting (the Merger). LLI, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Language Line Acquisition, Inc., is a Delaware corporation formed in April 2004. LLI had no significant operations prior to the acquisition of Predecessor. Subsequent
to the Merger, Language Line Acquisition, Inc., an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Language Line Holdings, LLC (Holdings or Parent), was renamed Language Line Holdings, Inc.

The Companys primary revenue source is to provide over-the-phone interpretation services, from English into over 170 different languages, 24 hours a day,
seven days a week. Such services are provided mainly to the non-English speaking business population in the U.S. and Canada covering various industries such as insurance, healthcare, financial, utilities and government, providing a cost effective
alternative to staffing in-house multilingual capabilities or using face-to-face interpretation. The Company also performs translation of written media for over 80 different languages.

Principles of ConsolidationThe consolidated financial statements include the accounts of LLI, LLC and LLCs wholly-owned subsidiaries as of December 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007.
All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Fiscal YearThe Companys fiscal
year end is December 31.

Cash equivalentsCash equivalents are short-term, highly liquid investments with original or remaining
maturities of three months or less when purchased. Typically, the cost of these investments has approximated fair value.

Accrued compensation and
interpreter costsAccrued compensation and interpreter costs are current compensation obligations due to internal employees and agency interpreters. This includes components of known costs due to agency interpreters as well as accrued
estimates for internal employees and agency interpreters.

ReclassificationsCertain balance sheet amounts in our previously filed
financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation, in particular those discussed in Note 5.

Concentration of
Credit RiskFinancial instruments which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable. We are exposed to credit risk in the event of default by the
financial institutions where we hold our cash and by any of our customers to the extent of accounts receivable we are owed, in amounts equal to the carrying value of these assets on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. Risks associated with
cash are mitigated by banking with creditworthy institutions. Concentration of credit risk with respect to trade receivables is limited due to the significant number of customers and their geographic dispersion. During fiscal 2008, 2007 and 2006, no
individual customer represented more than 10% of revenues or accounts receivable. Accounts receivable are generally unsecured.

Allowance for
Doubtful AccountsThe Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the failure of customers to make payment. The allowance is determined based upon an evaluation of individual accounts,
aging of the portfolio, issues raised by customers that may suggest non-payment, historical experience and/or the current economic environment. We evaluate the adequacy of the allowance on a regular basis, modifying, as necessary, its assumptions,
updating its record of historical experience and adjusting reserves as appropriate. The Company classifies bad debt expense as selling, general and administrative expenses in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations.

Property and equipmentProperty and equipment is recorded at cost. Depreciation on assets is computed
using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The useful life for property and equipment is within the following range:



|                       |  |                                                   
|---------------------- |  | --------------------------------------------------
|                       |  | Useful Lives                                      
|Equipment              |  | 4-5 years                                         
|Software               |  | 3 years                                           
|Furniture and fixtures |  | 5 years                                           
|Leasehold improvements |  | The shorter of useful life orinitial term of lease

As required by SOP 98-1, Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use,the Company capitalizes the costs for software developed in-house. Computer software developed or obtained for internal use is amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the software, generally three years.

Long Lived Assets including intangible assetsThe Company follows Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS)
No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. The Company has assessed the recoverability of long-lived assets, including intangible assets other than goodwill, by determining whether the carrying value of such
assets will be recovered through undiscounted future cash flows according to the guidance of SFAS No. 144. The Company assesses whether it will recognize the future benefit of long-lived assets including intangibles in accordance with the
provisions of SFAS No. 144. For assets to be held and used, including acquired intangibles, the Company initiates its review whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of a long-lived asset may not be
recoverable.

Factors we consider important which could trigger an impairment review include the following:



| |  |  | significant negative industry or economic trends;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | significant loss of customers;
| | - |  | ------------------------------



| |  |  | significant changes in the manner of our use of the acquired assets or the strategy for our overall business.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Recoverability of an asset is measured by comparison of its carrying amount to the expected future undiscounted cash flows (without interest charges) that the asset is
expected to generate. Any impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its fair value. Significant management judgment is required in the forecasting of future operating results which are
used in the preparation of projected discounted cash flows and should different conditions prevail, material write downs of long-lived assets, including intangible assets, could occur. No impairment of intangible assets was recognized in 2008, 2007
or 2006. Other intangible assets are generally amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful life which is based on historic experience and plans for utilization of the assets by the Company subsequent to the business combination.

Goodwill

We
perform our annual impairment analysis of goodwill in the fourth quarter of each year according to the provisions of SFAS 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets (SFAS 142). This Statement requires that we perform a two-step impairment
test on goodwill. In the first step, we compare the fair value of each reporting unit to its carrying value. If the fair value of the reporting unit exceeds the carrying value of the net assets assigned to the reporting unit, goodwill is not
impaired and we are not required to perform further testing. If the carrying value of the net assets assigned to the reporting unit exceeds the fair value of the reporting unit, then we must perform the second step of the impairment testing to
determine the implied fair value of the reporting units goodwill. The implied fair value of goodwill is calculated by deducting the fair value of all tangible and intangible assets of the reporting unit, excluding goodwill, from the fair value
of the reporting unit as determined in the first step. If the carrying value of a reporting units goodwill exceeds its implied fair value, then we record an impairment loss equal to the difference.

We performed our annual valuation analysis of goodwill on December 31, 2008 in accordance with SFAS142 as stated above. Consistent with prior years we have one
reporting unit which is the same as our operating segment.

We determined the fair value of the reporting unit based on a weighting of market and income
approaches. Under the market approach, we estimated the fair value based on market multiples of EBIT and EBITDA. Under the income approach, we measured fair value of the reporting unit based on a projected cash flow method using a discount rate
determined by our management which is commensurate with the risk inherent in our current business model. Our discounted cash flow projections were based on our annual financial forecasts developed internally by management for use in managing our
business and through discussions with the independent valuation firm engaged by us. The significant assumptions of these forecasts included continued revenue growth over the next five years. Given the current economic environment and the
uncertainties regarding the impact on our business, there can be no assurance that the estimates and assumptions made for purposes of our goodwill impairment testing at December 31, 2008 will prove to be accurate predictions of the future. If
our assumptions regarding forecasted revenue or gross margin rates are not achieved, we may be required to record goodwill impairment charges in future periods, whether in connection with the next annual impairment testing or prior to that, if any
change constitutes a triggering event outside of the period when the annual goodwill impairment test is performed. It is not possible at this time to determine if any such future impairment charge would result or, if it does, whether such charge
would be material. We believe that the assumptions and rates used in our impairment test under SFAS142 are reasonable. However, they are judgmental, and variations in any of the assumptions or rates could result in materially different
calculations. Based on our valuation results, we determined that the fair value of our reporting unit continued to exceed its carrying value. Therefore, management determined that no goodwill impairment charge was required as of December 31,
2008.

Deferred financing costsThe Company amortizes deferred financing costs using the straight-line method which approximates the
effective interest rate method over the terms of the related debt agreements and the corresponding amortization expense is included in interest expense on the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

Segment InformationThe Company follows the provisions of SFAS No. 131, Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related
Information, Financial Reporting for Segments of a Business. This statement establishes standards for reporting information about operating segments, products and services, geographic areas and major customers in annual and interim financial
statements. The Company manages and operates its business as one operating segment. Operating results are regularly reviewed by the Companys chief operating decision maker regarding decisions about the allocation of resources and to assess
performance.

RevenuesThe Company recognizes revenue when the services have been performed and all of the following four revenue
recognition criteria have been met:



| |  |  | Persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists,
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------



| |  |  | The service has been rendered,
| | - |  | ------------------------------



| |  |  | The price is fixed or determinable, and
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------

| |  |  | Collection is reasonably assured.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------

Revenue from
interpretation services are recognized as interpretation services are performed based on actual time that is tracked for each call at the negotiated rate per minute for the customer. Revenue earned from the translation of written media is generally
recognized at the time the finished product is delivered to the customer.

Foreign CurrencyThe functional currency of our operations
located outside the U.S. is the U.S. Dollar. Transaction and remeasurement gains and losses were not significant for the periods presented. The Company also perform services for Canadian and United Kingdom customers which are billed in local
currencies. Transaction gains and losses are reported in the statement of operations as they are incurred. During 2008, 2007 and 2006 such gains and losses were not significant and are included in selling, general and administrative expense.

Costs of servicesThese costs are primarily; (1) direct costs of personnel serving as interpreters and call agents and
(2) telecommunications expenses for long-distance calls related to providing service to customers.

Income TaxesIncome taxes are
accounted for using an asset and liability approach. Deferred income taxes reflect the net effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax
purposes, and operating loss and tax credit carry forwards measured by applying currently enacted tax laws. A valuation allowance is provided to reduce net deferred tax assets to an amount that is more likely than not to be realized.

Further, the Company accounts for uncertain tax positions in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Interpretation No. 48,
Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes(FIN 48), which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprises financial statements. Accordingly, the Company reports a liability for
unrecognized tax benefits resulting from uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return.

Comprehensive Income
(Loss)SFAS No. 130, Reporting Comprehensive Income (Loss), requires that the Company report comprehensive income (loss), which includes net income (loss) as well as other changes in assets and liabilities recorded directly
to equity, in its financial statements. There were no components of comprehensive income (loss) other than net income (loss) for all periods presented.

Stock-Based Compensation The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with SFAS No. 123(R), Share Based Payment. Under SFAS 123(R), the Company determines the fair value of its
Holdings Class C restricted stock units from the probability-weighted expected return method. Under this method, the value of an enterprises common stock is estimated from an analysis of the future values for the Company assuming various
possible future liquidity events. SFAS 123(R) requires that the Company recognize compensation expense for only the portion of restricted stock units that are expected to vest, rather than recording forfeitures when they occur, as previously
permitted. If the actual number of forfeitures differs from those estimated by management, additional adjustments to compensation expense may be required in future periods.

Fair Value of Financial InstrumentsThe carrying amount of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued compensation and interpreter costs and other accrued liabilities approximated fair
value at December 31, 2008 and 2007. The fair value of debt instruments is disclosed in Note 4.

Use of Estimates in the Preparation of
Financial StatementsThe preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. Such management estimates include the allowance for doubtful accounts receivables, the useful life of intangible assets, impairment
of goodwill and intangible assets, income taxes, and claims and legal proceedings. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Recently Issued
Accounting Pronouncements In February 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities  Including
an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115 (SFAS 159). SFAS No. 159 permits an entity to elect fair value as the initial and

subsequent measurement attribute for many financial assets and liabilities. Entities electing the fair value option would be required to recognize
changes in fair value in earnings. Entities electing the fair value option are required to distinguish, on the face of the statement of financial position, the fair value of assets and liabilities for which the fair value option has been
elected and similar assets and liabilities measured using another measurement attribute. SFAS 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The adjustment to reflect the difference between the fair value
and the carrying amount would be accounted for as a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the date of initial adoption. We elected not to adopt the fair value option for any financial assets and liabilities.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (Revised 2007), Business Combinations (SFAS 141(R)). SFAS 141(R) establishes
principles and requirements for how an acquirer in a business combination recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interests in the acquiree, as well as the
goodwill acquired. Significant changes from current practice resulting from SFAS 141(R) include the expansion of the definitions of a business and a business combination. For all business combinations (whether partial,
full or step acquisitions), the acquirer will record 100% of all assets and liabilities of the acquired business, including goodwill, generally at their fair values; contingent consideration will be recognized at its fair value on the acquisition
date and, for certain arrangements, changes in fair value will be recognized in earnings until settlement; and acquisition-related transaction and restructuring costs will be expensed rather than treated as part of the cost of the acquisition.
SFAS 141(R) also establishes disclosure requirements to enable users to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. SFAS 141(R) applies prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on
or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Earlier adoption is not permitted. SFAS 141(R) may have an impact on the Companys consolidated financial statements when effective in the
event a business combination occurs. The nature and magnitude of the specific effects will depend upon the nature, terms and size of the acquisition consummated after the effective date.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements  An amendment of ARB No. 51 (SFAS 160).
SFAS 160 amends Accounting Research Bulletin 51 Consolidated Financial Statements to establish accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. It
clarifies that a noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary, which is sometimes referred to as minority interest, is a third-party ownership interest in the consolidated entity that should be reported as a component of equity in the consolidated
financial statements. Among other requirements, SFAS 160 requires the consolidated statement of income to be reported at amounts that include the amounts attributable to both the parent and the noncontrolling interest. SFAS 160 also
requires disclosure on the face of the consolidated statement of income of the amounts of consolidated net income attributable to the parent and to the noncontrolling interest. SFAS 160 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within
those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Earlier adoption is prohibited. Currently, we do not have any non-controlling interests (ownership interests in a subsidiary that are held by owners other than us) recorded in our
financial statements. The adoption of SFAS 160 is not expected to have a material impact on our financial statements.

In September 2006, the FASB issued
SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurement (SFAS 157), which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value under GAAP, and expands disclosure requirements about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 applies
to other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements. The fair value measurement of financial assets and financial liabilities is effective for us beginning in fiscal year 2008. Three FASB Staff Positions
(FSP) on this statement were subsequently issued. FSP No. 157-1, issued on February 14, 2008, excluded SFAS No. 13, Accounting for Leases (SFAS 13), and other accounting pronouncements that address
fair value measurements for purposes of lease classification or measurement under SFAS 13. However, this scope exception does not apply to assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination, which are required to be measured at fair
value under SFAS No. 141, Business Combinations or SFAS 141(R), regardless of whether those assets and liabilities are related to leases. This FSP was effective upon our initial adoption of SFAS 157. FSP No. 157-2, issued on
February 12, 2008, delayed the effective date of this statement for non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a nonrecurring basis. This FSP will be
effective for us in fiscal year 2009. FSP No. 157-3, issued in October 2008 and effective upon issuance, clarifies how SFAS 157 should be applied when valuing securities in markets that are not active by illustrating key considerations in
determining fair value. Our adoption of this statement on January 1, 2008 is limited to financial assets and liabilities, and did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. The
adoption of FSP No. 157-2 is not expected to have a material impact on our financial statements.

In April 2008, the FASB issued FSP No. 142-3, Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets
(FSP 142-3). This FSP amends the factors that should be considered in developing renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under FASB Statement No. 142, Goodwill and Other
Intangible Assets. FSP 142-3 applies to intangible assets that are acquired individually or with a group of other assets after the effective date of either a business combination or an asset acquisition. The intent of this FSP is to improve the
consistency between the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under Statement 142 and the period of expected cash flows used to measure the fair value of the asset under SFAS 141(R) and other U.S. GAAP. The FSP also contains new disclosure
requirements with respect to recognized intangible assets. This FSP is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and for interim periods within such fiscal years. We are currently evaluating the potential impact of this
statement.

In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. SFAS 162 identifies the
sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles to be used in the preparation of financial statements of nongovernmental entities that are presented in conformity with U.S. GAAP. SFAS 162 will become effective 60 days
following the SECs approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board amendments to AU Section 411, The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity With Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. This statement did not
result in a change in our current practice.

2. Business Combinations, Escrow Settlement and Intangible Assets

Business Combinations and Escrow Settlement On June 11, 2004, LLI, an indirect subsidiary of ABRY Partners (ABRY) acquired the Predecessor
in a transaction accounted for under the purchase method of accounting (the Merger). The aggregate purchase price was $718.1 million. The merger agreement contains customary representations and warranties and covenants. At closing, $30.0
million of the Merger consideration was deposited into an escrow account on behalf of the stockholders and optionholders of the Predecessor to secure their potential indemnity obligations to LLI and payment of any post-closing adjustment to the
Merger consideration to LLI. Since the Merger, periodic payments from the escrow account have been paid to the stockholders and optionholders of the Predecessor according to a pre-determined payment schedule. Final settlement of the escrow account
was reached with the previous owners on July 25, 2006. In final settlement of the escrow account, the Company received $795,000 for potential tax liabilities. As the Company had already recorded these additional tax liabilities subsequent to
the Merger and concluded there is not a clear and direct link to the original purchase price, the settlement amount of $795,000 was recorded as other income in the third quarter of 2006.

Intangible Assets As of December 31, 2008 and 2007, the Companys acquired intangible assets are being amortized on a straight-line basis as follows (in thousands):

In 2004 the Company entered into a $40.0 million reducing revolver credit facility and a $277.5 million term loan under
a bank loan agreement dated June 11, 2004 (the 2004 Loans). The reducing revolver credit facility is due June 11, 2010 and the term loan is due June 10, 2011. Under the terms of the loan agreement, the Company may elect
either a variable rate of interest (equal to the lenders base rate plus an applicable margin) or an interest rate fixed for a specified period of one, two, three or six months (equal to LIBOR plus an applicable margin) for the
revolver and one, two, or three months for the term loan. The applicable margins used to calculate these interest rates are determined based on the Companys ratio of total debt less excess cash to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation
and amortization (EBITDA), as defined in the loan agreements. The senior credit facilities are collateralized by first priority interests in, and mortgages on, substantially all of our tangible and intangible assets and first priority
pledges of all the equity interest owned by us in our existing and future domestic subsidiaries.

At December 31, 2008 the maximum amount available
under the revolving credit facility was $40.0 million and no balance was outstanding. This amount is available through June 2010 per the loan agreement. At December 31, 2008 the 2004 Loans consisted of a $201.7 million term loan. The term
loan is automatically and permanently reduced at the end of each calendar quarter based on a predetermined schedule. In addition to such predetermined reductions, the maximum amount available under the loan agreement will be permanently reduced by
(1) beginning June 11, 2004, a portion of an annual excess cash flow amount, as defined in the loan agreement, (2) a portion of net proceeds from the Companys issuance of equity securities, as defined, (3) a
portion of net proceeds from the Companys disposition of assets, as defined, and (4) by voluntary reductions requested at the option of the Company. The Companys average interest rate for the term loan was 6.54%, 8.53%, and 9.32%
for 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively. At December 31, 2008, the interest rate in effect was 4.71% for the term loan. The fair value of the term loan is approximately $185.6 million as of December 31, 2008, determined principally by noting
the fair value that was determined for our senior subordinated notes, with appropriate consideration of the current yield, seniority and other provisions and characteristics that are specific to the term loan.

On November 5, 2005, the Company entered into an amendment to the 2004 Loans, pursuant to which both the total leverage and the senior leverage covenants were
increased by 0.25% to provide additional leverage availability, beginning with the period ended December 31, 2005 and ending with the period ended December 31, 2006.

On November 14, 2006, the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the Agreement) which amends and restates the 2004 Loans Credit Agreement dated as of June 11, 2004 and
amended as of November 3, 2005, among Language Line, Inc., the Company and the subsidiary guarantors party thereto. The Agreement effected a refinancing and replacement of the Tranche B Term Loans then currently outstanding under the Original
Credit Agreement with a new class of Term Loans designated as Tranche B-1 Term Loans. The aggregate principal amount of the modified loan is equal to the aggregate principal amount of original loan under the Original Credit Agreement.
The modified loan has terms, rights and obligations materially identical to the original loan except that the applicable margin for borrowings under the modified loan is 3.25 % in the case of Eurodollar loans and 2.25 % in the case of
Alternate Base Rate Loans. In addition, the Agreement amended related definitions and contained immaterial modifications to various other provisions of the Original Credit Agreement. The 2004 Loans contain certain financial covenants that the
Company was in compliance with at December 31, 2008.

On June 11, 2004 LLI issued $165 million of 11 1/8% Senior Subordinated Notes (the
Notes) for net proceeds of $160.8 million. Interest is payable on June 15 and December 15 of each year. The Notes will mature on June 15, 2012. LLI may redeem some or all of the notes at any time on or after June 15,
2008 at the redemption prices set forth. The notes are unsecured and are subordinated to all existing and future senior indebtedness. Each of LLIs domestic subsidiaries guarantee the notes on a senior subordinated basis.

Undistributed earnings of the Companys foreign subsidiaries of approximately $3.5 million at
December 31, 2008 and $2.7 million at December 31, 2007, are considered to be indefinitely reinvested and, accordingly, no provision for federal and state income taxes has been provided thereon. Upon distribution of those earnings in the
form of dividends or otherwise, the Company would be subject to both U.S. income taxes (subject to an adjustment for foreign tax credits) and withholding taxes payable to various foreign countries.

The operations of the Company and subsidiaries are included in the consolidated federal and state income tax returns of its parent, Language Line Holdings, Inc. and its
ultimate parent, Language Line Holdings, II Inc. The Company and subsidiaries manage the respective tax payments and refunds for both Language Line Holdings, Inc. and Language Line Holdings, II Inc. Included in the accompanying consolidated balance
sheets at December 31, 2008 and 2007 are amounts owed to Language Line Holdings, Inc. and Language Line Holdings, II Inc. of $2,641,000 and $1,874,000 under this arrangement. These amounts are presented separately from the amounts that are
receivable or payable (from/to) taxing authorities for federal and state income taxes. In prior periods amounts owed to Language Line Holdings, Inc. and Language Line Holdings, II Inc. were offset against amounts due from/to taxing authorities in
the balance sheet. The Company has revised this presentation in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2007.

The Company adopted
FIN 48 on January 1, 2007. FIN 48 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute criteria for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. FIN 48 clarifies
the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes by requiring a tax position be recognized only when it is more likely than not that the tax position, based on its technical merits, will be sustained upon ultimate settlement with the applicable tax
authority. As a result of the adoption of FIN 48, the Company recorded a $4.2 million increase in other liabilities, a $2.8 million decrease in income tax payable, a $0.6 million decrease in deferred tax liabilities, and a cumulative adjustment of
$0.8 million to opening accumulated deficit at January 1, 2007.

The total unrecognized tax benefits as of December 31, 2008 totaled $1.1 million, of which $0.7 million has
been recorded by the Company as a non-current liability and $0.4 million has been classified as a current liability in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. If recognized, these amounts would impact the Companys effective tax rate. The
timing of the resolution of the non-current portion is uncertain, and the resolution of these items may result in additional or reduced income tax expense. We anticipate that our liabilities for uncertain tax positions may increase for items that
arise in the ordinary course of business. These amounts will be reflected as an increase in the liabilities and an increase to the current period tax expense. Our expectations of these amounts are contemplated in our annual effective tax rate.
Possible releases of liabilities due to expirations of statutes of limitations will have the effect of decreasing our income tax expense and effective tax rate if and when they occur.

The Company recognizes interest and penalties relating to unrecognized tax benefits as part of its income tax expense.
Total accrued interest and penalties as of December 31, 2008 were $209,000 and $77,000, respectively.

The Company files income tax returns in U.S.
federal jurisdiction along with various state and foreign jurisdictions, and is subject to ongoing audits from various taxing authorities in the jurisdictions in which it does business. With certain exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to
examinations from taxing authorities for years prior to 2003. The Franchise Tax Board (FTB) of the State of California is currently examining the Companys California income tax returns for 2003 and 2004. The Company has agreed with
certain FTB findings and will make income tax settlement payments on tax positions of at least $0.3 million within the next 12 months. The Company is currently disputing a FTB finding with an estimated income tax effect of $0.2 million.

In February 2009, California budget legislation was signed into law that, among other things, contained several state tax law changes that will affect the
Companys effective state tax rate. As a result of these changes, the Company will need to re-evaluate its state deferred tax liabilities and assets in the first quarter of 2009, as the effect of changes in tax laws are accounted for in the
period the law changed. The Company is currently evaluating these tax law changes and their impact to the consolidated financial statements.

Company contributions were approximately $384,000, $445,000 and $413,000 for the years ended December 31, 2008, December 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively.

7. Stock-Based Compensation

Under the Companys Holdings Class C restricted stock unit plan, officers,
employees and outside directors have received or may receive grants of Holdings Class C restricted stock units. Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement of Financial
Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 123(R), Share-Based Payment, which establishes the accounting for employee stock-based awards. Under the provisions of SFAS No. 123(R), stock-based compensation is measured at
the grant date, based on the calculated fair value of the award, and is recognized as an expense over the requisite employee service period (generally the vesting period of the grant). The Company adopted SFAS No. 123(R) using the modified
prospective method and, as a result, periods prior to January 1, 2006 have not been restated. Additionally, no modifications were made to outstanding Holdings Class C restricted stock units prior to the adoption of SFAS No. 123(R), and no
cumulative adjustments were recorded in the Companys financial statements.

Prior to January 1, 2006, the Company accounted for the plans under
the measurement and recognition provisions of Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees (APB 25), and related Interpretations as permitted by SFAS No. 123 (SFAS
123), Accounting for Stock Based Compensation. Under APB 25, the Company recorded stock-based compensation expense for its Holdings Class C restricted stock units in its Financial Statements.

Under both SFAS 123 and SFAS 123(R), the Company determines the fair value of its Holdings Class C restricted stock units using the probability-weighted expected return
method. Under this method, the fair value of an enterprises common stock is estimated from an analysis of the future values for the Company assuming various possible future liquidity events. SFAS 123(R) requires that the Company recognize
compensation expense for only the portion of restricted stock units that are expected to vest, rather than recording forfeitures when they occur, as previously permitted. If the actual number of forfeitures differs from those estimated by
management, additional adjustments to compensation expense may be required in future periods.

##### Table of Contents

On January 1, 2006, deferred compensation related to awards issued prior to the adoption of SFAS 123(R) was reduced
to zero with a corresponding decrease to additional paid-in capital. SFAS 123(R) requires the Company to reflect the tax savings resulting from tax deductions in excess of expense reflected in its consolidated statement of cash flows as a financing
cash flow, which will impact the Companys future reported cash flows from operating activities.

Stock-based compensation expense related to Holdings
Class C restricted stock units, recognized under SFAS 123(R) for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 was $439,000 and $417,000. As of December 31, 2008, total unrecognized compensation cost, net of estimated forfeitures, was
$749,000 related to the restricted stock units. The unrecognized compensation cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 3.0 years.

The Holdings Class C restricted stock units will vest according to a specified schedule and will be expensed to compensation over the vesting period of five years. The units do not contain a stated contractual life. Vesting will
accelerate upon a change of control of Holdings and upon certain types of sales. Vesting will cease if the individual ceases to be employed by Holdings or any of its subsidiaries, at which time Holdings will have the option to purchase all or any
portion of the vested and/or the unvested restricted stock units. The aggregate purchase price for all unvested units will be $1.00, and the purchase price for each vested unit will be the fair market value for such unit as of the date of
individuals termination. If, however, the Company terminates the individuals employment for cause, the aggregate purchase price of all vested units will be $1.00. Holdings right to repurchase the individuals units will
terminate upon a change of control (as such term is defined in their incentive unit agreement), provided that the individual is employed by Holdings or any of its subsidiaries at the time of the change of control.

As of December 31, 2008 there are 9,293,000 outstanding unvested Holdings Class C restricted stock units, which were granted as restricted stock since
June 12, 2004. The company terminated all stock option incentive plans on June 11, 2004 and the plans were not replaced. There are no outstanding or exercisable options with respect to any stock option incentive plans with the Company as
of December 31, 2008.
