FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q 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 factors set forth in Item 2. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and the risks and uncertainties that
could cause Language Line, Inc.s (LLI, we, us, or 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. The forward looking statements contained in this report are made under the caption Managements Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations. Moreover, the Company, through its senior management, may from time to time make forward looking statements about matters described herein or other matters concerning the Company. We
assume no obligation to update any forward-looking statements.

LANGUAGE LINE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

(An Indirect Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of Language Line Holdings, LLC)

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

1. The Company and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial information has been prepared in
accordance with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) regulations for interim financial reporting. In the opinion of management, the condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, consisting only of normal
recurring adjustments that are considered necessary for a fair statement of the Companys financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009
and June 30, 2008 are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the entire year. This financial information should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year
ended December 31, 2008 of Language Line, Inc., which are included in the Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 26, 2009.

In
accordance with the rules and regulations of the SEC, unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements may omit or condense certain information and disclosures normally required for a complete set of financial statements prepared in accordance
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP). Accordingly, certain information and disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or
omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. The year-end balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP. The Company has evaluated subsequent events through August 7,
2009, the date the Company filed its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2009.

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), was renamed Language Line Holdings,
Inc. (LLHI).

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.

##### Table of Contents

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. 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.

Principles of Consolidation

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of LLI, LLC and
LLCs wholly-owned subsidiaries as of June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, and the results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been
eliminated in consolidation.

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

The Company accounts for goodwill and other intangible assets in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS)
No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. This statement requires that goodwill resulting from a business combination be tested for impairment annually at the reporting unit level or whenever events or changes in circumstances
indicate that goodwill might be impaired. The Company completed the annual test of impairment for goodwill as of December 31, 2008. This test resulted in no impairment being recognized. Other intangible assets are generally amortized on a
straight-line basis over their useful life which is based on historic experience and plans for utilization of the assets by the Company subsequent to the business combination.

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, if necessary, is provided to reduce net deferred tax assets to an amount that is more likely than not to be realized.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (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) will likely 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.

##### Table of Contents

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 was 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 to fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008. The adoption of FSP
No. 157-2 did not have a material impact on our financial statements. 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 was limited to financial assets and liabilities, and did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial position, results of
operations or cash flows. We adopted this statement for non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value on a non-recurring basis on January 1, 2009. This adoption did not have a material impact
on our financial statements. In April 2009, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. FAS 157-4, Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions
That Are Not Orderly (FSP FAS 157-4). FSP FAS 157-4 provides guidance on determining when the trading volume and activity for an asset or liability has significantly decreased, which may indicate an inactive market, and on measuring the
fair value of an asset or liability in inactive markets. We adopted FSP 157-4 effective April 1, 2009. This adoption did not 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. The adoption of FSP 142-3 may have an impact on our financial statements in the event we acquire
intangible assets in either a business combination or asset acquisition. The nature and magnitude of the specific effects will depend upon the nature, terms and size of the business combination or asset acquisition consummated after the effective
date.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP No. 107-1, Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments, which became effective in
the second quarter of 2009. This guidance increases the frequency of fair value disclosures from annual only to quarterly for all financial instruments within the scope of SFAS 107, whether recognized or not on the balance sheet. This FSP requires
disclosures of the methods and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair values of those financial instruments. The Company has determined that the carrying amount of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued compensation and
interpreter costs and other accrued liabilities approximated fair value at June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008. The fair value of debt instruments is disclosed in Note 6.

Reclassifications

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

2. Guarantor Subsidiaries

The Companys outstanding public debt (the Senior Subordinated Notes) is jointly
and severally, fully and unconditionally guaranteed by the Company and its subsidiaries (the Guarantor Subsidiaries). The Company or Parent Company has no independent assets or operations. The subsidiaries are 100% owned by the Company.
At June 30, 2009, a total of approximately $163.0 million of Senior Subordinated Notes were outstanding. The Guarantor Subsidiaries are direct or indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company.

Separate financial statements of the Company and each of the Guarantor Subsidiaries are not presented because the guarantees are full and unconditional
and the Guarantor Subsidiaries are jointly and severally liable.

There are no current restrictions on the ability of the Guarantor
Subsidiaries to make payments under the guarantees referred to above. The obligations of each guarantor under its guarantee are limited to the maximum amount permitted under Bankruptcy Law, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform
Fraudulent Transfer Act, or any similar Federal or state law (e.g. laws requiring adequate capital to pay dividends) respecting fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer.

3. Contingencies

The Company is party to certain legal actions arising in the ordinary course of
business. Although the ultimate outcome is not presently determinable, management believes that the resolution of such matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Companys financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

4. Related Party 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 three and six months ended June 30, 2009, included in revenues
in the accompanying statements of operations, totaled $500,000 and $1,000,000, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, these amounts totaled $500,000 and $945,000, respectively.

##### Table of Contents

Additionally, Coto is charged a fee to reimburse the Company for costs it incurs for providing
interpretation services including interpreter labor, telecommunication, interpreter management and other miscellaneous direct costs. Reimbursable charges to Coto for interpretation services, netted against cost of revenues for the three and six
months ended June 30, 2009, totaled $5,069,000 and $10,472,000, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, these amounts totaled $2,745,000 and $2,914,000, respectively. Finally, reimbursable charges to Coto for other
miscellaneous (indirect) costs netted against selling, general and administrative expenses totaled $603,000 and $1,486,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2008,
these amounts totaled $75,000 and $157,000, respectively. At June 30, 2009, Coto owed the Company an aggregate of $2,295,000 related to these services and charges.

5. Income Taxes

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 sheet are amounts owed to Language Line Holdings, Inc. and Language Line Holdings, II Inc. of $1,387,000 and $2,641,000 at June 30, 2009 and
December 31, 2008, respectively, 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 consolidated balance sheet. The Company revised this presentation in the consolidated balance sheet in 2008, and the
resulting changes have been reflected in the accompanying consolidated cash flow statement for the six months ended June 30, 2008.

In
February 2009, California budget legislation was signed into law that, among other things, contained several state tax law changes that affected the Companys effective state tax rate. As a result of these changes, the Company re-evaluated its
state deferred tax liabilities and assets in the first quarter of 2009. The impact of these tax law changes reduced the blended state tax rates applied to the Companys recorded deferred tax liabilities, which had the effect of reducing the
Companys income tax provision for the six months ended June 30, 2009 in the amount of approximately $4.1 million.

6. Long-Term Debt

Long-term debt consists of the following (in thousands):

##### Table of Contents

The fair value of the term loan is approximately $190.4 million and $185.6 million at June 30, 2009
and December 31, 2008, respectively, determined principally by noting the fair value that was determined for the senior subordinated notes, with appropriate consideration of the current yield, seniority and other of the provisions and
characteristics that are specific to the term loan.

The fair value of the senior subordinated notes, based on quoted market prices in
markets that are not active, or observable pricing inputs, including yields and reported trades, is approximately $164.2 million and $152.8 million at June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively.

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

The following Managements Discussion and Analysis of our Financial Condition and Results of Operations should be read in conjunction with the
condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included as part of this Form 10-Q. This report contains forward-looking statements that are based upon current expectations. We sometimes identify forward-looking statements with such
words as may, will, expect, anticipate, estimate, seek, intend, believe or similar words concerning future events. The forward-looking statements
contained herein, include, without limitation, statements concerning future revenue sources and concentration, gross profit margins, selling and marketing expenses, research and development expenses, general and administrative expenses, capital
resources, additional financings or borrowings and additional losses and are subject to risks and uncertainties including, but not limited to, those discussed below and elsewhere in this Form 10-Q that could cause actual results to differ materially
from the results contemplated by these forward-looking statements. We also urge you to carefully review the risk factors set forth in other documents we file from time to time with the SEC.

Introduction

We believe we are the leading 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 proficient (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 operating
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.

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.

Three Months Ended June 30, 2009 Compared to the Three Months Ended June 30, 2008.

Revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2009 were $60.2 million as compared to $52.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2008, an
increase of $8.0 million or 15.2%. This increase in revenue is driven by principally by an increase in OPI billed minutes, offset partially by a decline in the average rate per billed minute.

Cost of services consists primarily of costs associated with interpretation services and customer support. Significant cost components include
compensation of interpreters and telecommunication charges. For the three months ended June 30, 2009, cost of services were $18.7 million as compared to $16.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2008 an increase of $1.8 million or
10.4%. This increase was primarily due to increased interpretation minutes, partially offset by a lower cost per minute as a result of lower interpreter costs, as well as by a reduction of severance amounts previously recorded for global center
employees who voluntarily terminated their employment with the Company.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months
ended June 30, 2009 were $10.6 million as compared to $8.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2008, an increase of $1.7 million or 19.0%. This increase was primarily due to higher sales and marketing expenses.

Interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2009 was $7.6 million as compared to $8.6 million for the three months ended June 30,
2008, a decrease of $1.0 million or 11.3%. This was primarily due to a decrease in the interest rate on our senior secured debt (at June 30, 2009 the rate was 3.85% as compared to 6.06% at June 30, 2008), combined with a lower average
principal balance during the period for this senior secured debt.

Depreciation and amortization was $7.0 million for the three months
ended June 30, 2009 compared to $7.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2008. This decrease was due principally to certain assets that became fully depreciated period over period.

Tax expense on income for the three months ended June 30, 2009 was $6.6 million as compared to $4.6
million for the three months ended June 30, 2008, an increase of $2.0 million. The effective tax rate for the quarter ended June 30, 2009 was 40.7% as compared to 43.3% for the quarter ended June 30, 2008, due principally to the
impact of permanent differences between book and tax income.

As a result of the factors described above, net income was $9.7 million for
the three months ended June 30, 2009 as compared to $6.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2008.

Six Months Ended June 30,
2009 Compared to the Six Months Ended June 30, 2008

Revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2009 were $120.2 million as
compared to $101.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008, an increase of $19.1 million or 18.9%. This increase in revenue is driven by principally by an increase in OPI billed minutes, offset partially by a decline in the average rate
per billed minute.

Cost of services consists primarily of costs associated with interpretation services and customer support. Significant
cost components include compensation of interpreters and telecommunication charges. For the six months ended June 30, 2009, cost of services were $37.4 million as compared to $33.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008 an increase
of $4.1 million or 12.4%. This increase was primarily due to increased interpretation minutes, partially offset by a lower cost per minute as a result of lower interpreter costs as well as by a reduction of severance amounts previously recorded for
global center employees who voluntarily terminated their employment with the Company.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the
six months ended June 30, 2009 were $22.4 million as compared to $17.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008, an increase of $4.9 million or 27.9%. This increase was primarily due to higher sales and marketing expenses of $4.2
million, coupled with increases in other selling, general and administrative expenses.

Interest expense for the six months ended
June 30, 2009 was $15.3 million as compared to $17.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008, a decrease of $2.6 million or 14.3%. This was primarily due to a decrease in the interest rate on our senior secured debt (at
June 30, 2009 the rate was 3.85% as compared to 6.06% at June 30, 2008), combined with a lower average principal balance during the period for this senior secured debt.

Depreciation and amortization was $14.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009 compared to $14.7 million for the six months ended
June 30, 2008. This decrease was due principally to certain assets that became fully depreciated period over period.

Tax expense on
income for the six months ended June 30, 2009 was $8.2 million as compared to $7.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008, an increase of $0.3 million. The effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2009 was 26.5% as
compared to 42.5% for the six months ended June 30, 2008. In February 2009, California budget legislation was signed into law that, among other things, contained several state tax law changes that affected the Companys effective state tax
rate. As a result of these changes, the Company re-evaluated its state deferred tax liabilities and assets in the first quarter of 2009. The impact of these tax law changes reduced the blended state tax rates applied to the Companys recorded
deferred tax liabilities, which had the effect of reducing the Companys income tax provision for the six months ended June 30, 2009 in the amount of approximately $4.1 million.

As a result of the factors described above, net income was $22.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009 as compared to $10.7 million for the
six months ended June 30, 2008.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Operating Activities. Net cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2009 was $31.7 million. This reflects net income of $22.7 million, non-cash charges of $16.1 million,
offset by cash used in operating assets and liabilities (net) of $2.1 million and by a decrease in deferred income taxes of $5.0 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 the six months ended June 30, 2008 was $20.0 million. This reflects net income of $10.7 million and non-cash charges of $16.4 million,
offset by cash used for operating assets and liabilities (net) of $5.4 million and by a decrease in deferred income taxes of $1.7 million.

Investing Activities. Net cash used in investing activities was $3.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009. This reflects capital expenditures for the period. Net cash used in investing activities was $0.8 million for
the six months ended June 30, 2008. This reflects principally capital expenditures of $0.7 million for the period.

Financing
Activities. Net cash used in financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2009 was $10.3 million, reflecting payments made on our senior secured debt. Net cash used in financing activities for the six months ended June 30,
2008 was $12.3 million. This reflects payments made on our senior secured debt of $11.3 million and a dividend distribution in the amount of $1.0 million to Language Line Holding II, Inc. an affiliated non-consolidated entity under the ultimate
parent, Language Line Holdings, LLC. At June 30, 2009 the maximum amount available under the revolving credit facility was $40.0 million, and no balance was outstanding.

Debt Service. As of June 30, 2009, we had total indebtedness of $354.4 million and $40 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 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 111/8% 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 guarantees the notes on a senior subordinated basis.

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.

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 for the next twelve months. 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.

Related Party 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 three and six months ended June 30, 2009, included in revenues in the accompanying statements of operations, totaled $500,000 and $1,000,000, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, these amounts
totaled $500,000 and $945,000, respectively.

Additionally, Coto is charged a fee to reimburse the Company for costs it incurs for
providing interpretation services including interpreter labor, telecommunication, interpreter management and other miscellaneous direct costs. Reimbursable charges to Coto for interpretation services, netted against cost of revenues for the three
and six months ended June 30, 2009, totaled $5,069,000 and $10,472,000, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, these amounts totaled $2,745,000 and $2,914,000, respectively. Finally, reimbursable charges to Coto
for other miscellaneous (indirect) costs netted against selling, general and administrative expenses totaled $603,000 and $1,486,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, respectively. For the three and six months ended
June 30, 2008, these amounts totaled $75,000 and $157,000, respectively. At June 30, 2009, Coto owed the Company an aggregate of $2,295,000 related to these services and charges.

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 sheet are amounts owed to Language Line Holdings, Inc. and Language Line Holdings, II Inc. of $1,387,000 and $2,641,000 at June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively, 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 consolidated balance sheet. The Company revised this presentation in the consolidated balance sheet in 2008, and the resulting changes have been reflected in the accompanying consolidated
cash flow statement for the six months ended June 30, 2008.

Critical Accounting Policies

Financial statement preparation requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and
expenses and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. The accompanying consolidated unaudited financial statements are prepared using the same critical accounting policies discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended
December 31, 2008.

Item 3.Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk

We are exposed to certain market risks as part of our ongoing business operations. Primary exposure will include changes in interest
rates, as borrowings under our senior secured credit facilities bear interest at floating rates based on LIBOR or the base rate, 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 June 30, 2009 we had $165 million principal amount of fixed-rate debt and $231.4 million of available floating-rate
debt (of which we borrowed $191.4 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 $1.9
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. We may experience economic loss and a negative impact on earnings or net assets as a result of interest rate fluctuations.

Item 4T.Controls and Procedures.

(a) Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures. Based on
the evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Securities Exchange Act of 1934 Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) required by Securities Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(b) or 15d-15(b), our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief
Financial Officer have concluded that as of the end of the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

(b) Changes in internal controls. There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially
affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
