NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Lionbridge Technologies, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries (collectively, Lionbridge or the
Company). These financial statements are unaudited. However, in the opinion of management, the consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, all of a normal nature, necessary for their fair presentation. Interim results are
not necessarily indicative of results expected for a full year. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions for Form 10-Q and, therefore, do not include all information and
footnotes necessary for a complete presentation of the operations, financial position and cash flows of the Company in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The year-end condensed consolidated balance sheet data was derived
from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. These statements should be read in conjunction with the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year
ended December 31, 2009.

The Companys preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements and the reported
amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported periods. Estimates are used when accounting for collectibility of receivables, calculating service revenue using a proportional performance assessment and valuing intangible assets and deferred
tax assets. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

2. STOCKHOLDERS EQUITY AND STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

Stock Option Plans

The Company has stock-based compensation plans for salaried employees and non-employee members of the Board of Directors. The plans provide for discretionary grants of stock options, restricted stock and
stock units, and other stock-based awards. The plans are administered by the Nominating and Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors, which consists of non-employee directors.

In November 2005, the stockholders of Lionbridge Technologies, Inc. approved the Lionbridge 2005 Stock Incentive Plan (the 2005
Plan), which had been previously adopted by the Lionbridge Board of Directors on October 7, 2005, for officers, employees, non-employee directors and other key persons of Lionbridge and its subsidiaries. On May 1, 2009, the
stockholders of the Company approved an amendment to the 2005 Plan increasing the maximum number of shares of common stock available for issuance under the 2005 Plan by 4,500,000 shares to 8,500,000 shares. At September 30, 2010, there were
1,860,397 options available for future grant under the 2005 Plan. Options to purchase common stock are granted at the discretion of the Board of Directors and the Nominating and Compensation Committee. Generally, stock options vest over a four-year
period: 25% of the option shares vest one year from the date of grant and the remaining option shares vest at the rate of 12.5% each six month period thereafter. Stock options generally expire five to seven years from the date of grant under the
2005 Plan. Under the terms of the 2005 Plan, the exercise price of incentive and non-qualified stock option grants must not be less than 100% of the fair market value of the common stock on the date of grant. Options are amortized using a
straight-line basis over the option vesting period.

Lionbridges 1998 Stock Plan (the 1998 Plan) provides
for the issuance of incentive and nonqualified stock options. The maximum number of shares of common stock available for issuance under the Plan is 11,722,032 shares and the 1998 Plan expired on January 26, 2008. At September 30, 2010
there were no options available for future grant under the 1998 Plan. Options to purchase common stock under the 1998 Plan had been granted at the discretion of the Board of Directors and the Nominating and Compensation Committee. Generally, stock
options granted under the 1998 Plan vested over a four-year period: 25% of the option shares vested one year from the date of grant and the remaining option shares vested at the rate of 12.5% each six month period thereafter. Stock options granted
under the 1998 Plan generally expire ten years (five years in certain cases) from the date of grant. Under the terms of the 1998 Plan, the exercise price of incentive stock options granted must not be less than 100% (110% in certain cases) of the
fair market value of the common stock on the date of grant, as determined by the Board of Directors. The exercise price of nonqualified stock options may be less than the fair market value of the common stock on the date of grant, as determined by
the Board of Directors, but in no case may the exercise price be less than the statutory minimum, the par value per share of Lionbridges common stock.

Restricted
Stock Awards

Lionbridge issued 1,968,500 and 79,511 shares of restricted common stock and restricted stock units,
respectively, under the Companys 2005 Stock Incentive Plan, during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2010 with a fair market value of $6.1 million. Of the total 2,048,011 shares of restricted common stock and restricted stock
units issued in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2010, 1,179,500 have restrictions on disposition which lapse over four years from the date of grant, 26,511 have restrictions on disposition which lapse over thirteen months from the
date of grant, and 842,000 restricted shares were granted to certain employees through the long-term incentive plan (the LTIP) as long-term performance based stock incentive awards under the Corporations 2005 Stock Incentive Plan.
Pursuant to the terms of the LTIP, restrictions with respect to the stock will lapse upon the achievement of revenue and/or profitability targets within the two or three calendar years from and including the year of grant. The grant date fair value
of the shares is recognized over the requisite period of performance once achievement of criteria is deemed probable. On a quarterly basis, the Company estimates the likelihood of achieving performance goals. Actual results, and future changes in
estimates, may differ substantially from the Companys current estimates. If the targets are not achieved, the shares will be forfeited by the employee.

Stock-based Compensation

The Company recognizes expense for stock
options, performance-based restricted stock awards and time-based restricted stock awards pursuant to the authoritative guidance of Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 718, Compensation  Stock Compensation. Total
compensation expense related to stock options, market-based restricted stock awards and time-based restricted stock awards was $970,000 and $696,000 for the three-month periods ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively, and $3.0 million
and $2.8 million for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively, classified in the statement of operations line items as follows:

As of September 30, 2010, future compensation cost related to non-vested stock options, less estimated
forfeitures, is approximately $983,000 and will be recognized over an estimated weighted average period of approximately 2.2 years. Lionbridge currently expects to amortize $6.0 million of unamortized compensation in connection with restricted stock
awards outstanding as of September 30, 2010 over an estimated weighted average period of approximately 2.4 years.

3. UNBILLED
RECEIVABLES

Unbilled receivables represent revenue not yet billed. Unbilled receivables are calculated for each individual
project based on the proportional delivery of services at the balance sheet date. Billing of amounts in unbilled receivables occurs according to customer-agreed payment schedules or upon completion of specified project milestones. All of
Lionbridges projects in unbilled receivables are expected to be billed and collected within one year.

4. DEBT

On December 21, 2006, the Company entered into a revolving credit facility (the Credit Agreement) with HSBC Bank USA,
National Association. The Credit Agreement was subsequently amended in 2007 and 2009 to add certain additional non-U.S. subsidiaries of the Company as Borrowers or Guarantors and again on September 30, 2010 (the amended Credit
Amendment) to extend the term for an additional four years to 2014. The amended Credit Agreement provides for a $50.0 million revolving credit facility and establishes interest rates in the range of LIBOR plus 1.75% - 2.50%, depending on
certain conditions. In September 2010, the Company recognized $155,000 of accelerated deferred financing costs associated with the amended Credit Agreement as interest expense. At September 30, 2010, $24.7 million was outstanding with an
interest rate of 2.3%. The Company is required to maintain leverage and fixed charge coverage ratios and to comply with other covenants in its revolving credit agreement. The leverage ratio is calculated by dividing the Companys total
outstanding indebtedness at each quarter end by its adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and certain other non-cash expenses during the four consecutive quarterly periods then ended. The fixed charge coverage ratio is calculated by
dividing the Companys adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and certain other non-cash expenses minus capital expenditures for each consecutive four quarterly periods by its interest paid or payable and cash paid on taxes
during each such consecutive four quarterly periods. The Company was in compliance with both of these ratios as well as all other bank covenants as of September 30, 2010.

5. COMPREHENSIVE INCOME (LOSS)

Total comprehensive income (loss) consists of net income (loss), the net change in the funded status of defined benefit
postretirement plans, unrealized gains and losses on a cash flow hedge and the net change in foreign currency translation adjustment. Total comprehensive loss was $1.3 million for the three-month period ended September 30, 2010 and total
comprehensive income was $950,000 for the three-month period ended September 30, 2009. Total comprehensive income was $2.4 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2010 and total comprehensive loss for the nine-month period
ended September 30, 2009 was $4.0 million.

6. NET INCOME (LOSS) PER SHARE

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding.
For the purposes of calculating diluted earnings per share, the denominator includes both the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding and the number of dilutive common stock equivalents such as stock options and unvested
restricted stock, as determined using the treasury stock method.

Shares used in calculating basic and diluted earnings per
share for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively, are as follows:

share, as their effect would be anti-dilutive.

7. MERGER, RESTRUCTURING AND OTHER CHARGES

During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2010 Lionbridge recorded $5.9 million of restructuring and other charges, $4.0
million of which was recorded in the third quarter of 2010. The $5.9 million of restructuring and other charges recorded in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2010 included $4.0 million for workforce reductions in Europe, the United

At September 30, 2010, the Companys consolidated balance sheet includes accruals totaling $5.6
million primarily related to employee termination costs and vacated facilities. Lionbridge currently anticipates that $3.8 million of these will be fully paid within twelve months. The remaining $1.8 million relates to lease obligations on unused
facilities expiring through 2026 and is included in long-term liabilities.

8. INCOME TAXES

The provisions for income taxes for the three-month periods ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 were $(295,000) and $(1.6) million,
respectively. The provisions for income taxes for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 were $1.3 million and $(404,000), respectively.

The tax provisions for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2010 consisted primarily of taxes on income in foreign jurisdictions, a deferred tax benefit related to the recognition of
deferred tax assets and reduction in deferred tax liabilities in certain foreign jurisdictions, and taxes, interest and penalties recorded in relation to the Companys uncertain tax positions.

The tax provision for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2009 consists primarily of taxes on income in foreign
jurisdictions, deferred tax benefits of $(278,000) and $(500,000), respectively, related to the recognition of deferred tax assets in certain foreign jurisdictions and taxes, interest and penalties recorded in relation to the Companys
uncertain tax positions. Also, during the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2009, Lionbridge recorded the following: foreign tax benefit and expense of $(233,000) and $656,000, respectively, net of related reserves, due to
assessments made by local tax authorities or changes in estimate; foreign tax benefits of $(210,000) and $(456,000), respectively, related to the release of reserves for uncertain tax positions due to the lapse of the statute of limitation and a
refund received for tax filings; and a benefit for the release of indemnified reserves for uncertain tax positions related to the Bowne Global Solutions (BGS) acquisition of $(1.2) million. A corresponding $1.2 million other expense has
been recorded for the reduction of the related indemnification receivable.

The balance of unrecognized tax benefits at
September 30, 2010, not including interest and penalties, was $6.1 million, which, if recognized, would affect the effective income tax rate in future periods. Lionbridge also recognizes interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax
benefits in tax expense. At September 30, 2010, Lionbridge had approximately $2.1 million of interest and penalties accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits.

In connection with the Companys 2005 acquisition of BGS, Bowne & Co., Inc. (Bowne) agreed to indemnify the Company for any tax liabilities accruing on or prior to the
acquisition date of September 1, 2005. At September 30, 2010 $1.5 million of the gross unrecognized tax benefits and $523,000 of the accrued interest and penalties related to the acquisition of BGS are subject to indemnification. The
Company believes that it is reasonably possible that approximately $552,000 of its unrecognized tax benefits, consisting of several items in various jurisdictions, may be recognized within the next twelve months.

The Company conducts business globally and in the normal course of business is subject to examination by local, state and federal
jurisdictions in the United States as well as in multiple foreign jurisdictions. Currently, no Internal Revenue Service audits are underway and audits in foreign jurisdictions are in varying stages of completion. Open audit years are dependent upon
the tax jurisdiction and range from 2003 to 2009.

At
September 30, 2010, no provision for U.S. income and foreign withholding taxes has been made for unrepatriated foreign earnings because it is expected that such earnings will be reinvested indefinitely.

At September 30, 2010, Lionbridges Indian subsidiary has a tax holiday granted by the Indian government and is exempt from
corporate income tax on its operating profits. This tax holiday expires at the end of the Indian subsidiarys March 31, 2011 tax year.

Under the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code, certain substantial changes in Lionbridges ownership may limit in the future the amount of net operating loss carryforwards that could be used
annually to offset future taxable income and income tax liability.

Interpretationthis segment includes interpretation services for government and business organizations that require experienced linguists to facilitate communication. Lionbridge provides
interpretation communication services in more than 360 languages and dialects, including onsite interpretation, over-the-phone interpretation and interpreter testing, training, and assessment services.

The Companys internal reporting does not include the allocation of certain expenses to the operating segments but instead includes
those other expenses in unallocated other expense. Unallocated expenses consist of depreciation and amortization, interest expense and income tax. Other unallocated items primarily include corporate expenses, such as merger and restructuring,
foreign exchange gains and losses and governance expenses, as well as finance, information technology, human resources, legal, treasury and marketing expenses. The Company determines whether a cost is charged to a particular business segment or is
retained as an unallocated cost based on whether the cost relates to a corporate function or to a direct expense associated with the particular business segment. For example, corporate finance, corporate information technology and corporate human
resource expenses are unallocated, whereas operating segment finance, information technology and human resource expenses are charged to the applicable operating segment.

10. GOODWILL AND OTHER
INTANGIBLE ASSETS

Lionbridge assesses the impairment of goodwill and other intangible assets whenever events or changes in
circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. Such events or conditions could include an economic downturn in the industries to which Lionbridge provides services; increased competition; an increase in operating or other
costs; additional volatility in international currencies; the pace of technological improvements; or other information regarding Lionbridges market value, such as a reduction in stock price to a price near or below the book value of the
Company for an extended period of time. When Lionbridge determines that the carrying value of goodwill may not be recoverable based upon one or more of these indicators of impairment, the Company initially assesses any impairment using fair value
measurements based on projected discounted cash flow valuation models. In addition, in accordance with ASC 350, IntangiblesGoodwill and Other (ASC 350), goodwill is reviewed for impairment on an annual basis. At
December 31, 2009, the Company performed its annual test of goodwill to determine if an impairment existed. This test determined that each reporting units fair value exceeded the carrying value of the net assets of each respective
reporting unit, using projected discounted cash flow modeling. As a result, no impairment was recorded for the year ended December 31, 2009. At September 30, 2010, the balance of goodwill was $9.7 million and related solely to the
Companys GDT segment.

The Company evaluates whether there has been an impairment in the carrying value of its
long-lived assets in accordance with ASC 360, Property, Plant and Equipment (ASC 360), if circumstances indicate that a possible impairment may exist. An impairment in the carrying value of an asset is assessed when the
undiscounted expected future operating cash flows derived from the asset grouping are less than its carrying value. If it is determined that the asset is impaired then it is written down to its estimated fair value. Factors that could lead to an
impairment of acquired customer relationships (recorded with the acquisition of BGS in September 2005) include a worsening in customer attrition rates compared to historical attrition rates, or lower than initially anticipated cash flows associated
with customer relationships.

Other intangible assets arose from the acquisition of BGS and consist of the following, which
are being amortized on a straight-line basis over the following estimated useful lives, except for the BGS customer relationships, of which a portion is being amortized using an economic consumption method:



|                       |  |                      |               |

11. CONTINGENCIES

On or about July 24, 2001, a purported securities class action lawsuit captioned Samet v. Lionbridge
Technologies, Inc. et al. (01-CV-6770) was filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (the Court) against the Company, certain of its officers and directors, and certain underwriters involved in
the Companys initial public offering. The complaint in this action asserted, among other things, that omissions regarding the underwriters alleged conduct in allocating shares in Lionbridges initial public offering to the
underwriters customers. In March 2002, the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York entered an order dismissing without prejudice the claims against Lionbridge and its officers and directors (the case remained
pending against the underwriter defendants).

On April 19, 2002, the plaintiffs filed an amended complaint naming as
defendants not only the underwriter defendants but also Lionbridge and certain of its officers and directors. The amended complaint asserts claims under both the registration and antifraud provisions of the federal securities laws relating to, among
other allegations, the underwriters alleged conduct in allocating shares in the Companys initial public offering and the disclosures contained in the Companys registration statement. On July 15, 2002, the Company,
together with the other issuers named as defendants in these coordinated proceedings, filed a collective motion to dismiss the complaint on various legal grounds common to all or most of the issuer defendants. In October 2002, the claims against
officers and directors were dismissed without prejudice. In February 2003, the Court issued its ruling on the motion to dismiss, ruling that the claims under the antifraud provisions of the securities laws could proceed against the Company and a
majority of the other issuer defendants.

In June 2003, Lionbridge elected to participate in a proposed settlement agreement
with the plaintiffs in this litigation. If the proposed settlement had been approved by the Court, it would have resulted in the dismissal, with prejudice, of all claims in the litigation against Lionbridge and against any other of the issuer
defendants who elected to participate in the proposed settlement, together with the current or former officers and directors of participating issuers who were named as individual defendants. This proposed issuer settlement was conditioned on, among
other things, a ruling by the District Court that the claims against Lionbridge and against the other issuers who had agreed to the settlement would be certified for class action treatment for purposes of the proposed settlement, such that all
investors included in the proposed classes in these cases would be bound by the terms of the settlement unless an investor opted to be excluded from the settlement.

On December 5, 2006, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit issued a decision in In re Initial Public Offering Securities Litigation that six purported class action lawsuits
containing allegations substantially similar to those asserted against the Company may not be certified as class actions due, in part, to the Appeals Courts determination that individual issues of reliance and knowledge would predominate over
issues common to the proposed classes. On January 8, 2007, the plaintiffs filed a petition seeking rehearing en banc of the Second Circuit Court of Appeals decision. On April 6, 2007 the Court of Appeals denied the
plaintiffs petition for rehearing of the Courts December 5, 2006 ruling but noted that the plaintiffs remained free to ask the District Court to certify classes different from the ones originally proposed which might meet the
standards for class certification that the Court of Appeals articulated in its December 5, 2006 decision. In light of the Court of Appeals December 5, 2006 decision regarding certification of the plaintiffs claims, the District
Court entered an order on June 25, 2007 terminating the proposed settlement between the plaintiffs and the issuers, including Lionbridge.

On August 14, 2007, the plaintiffs filed amended complaints in the six focus cases. The issuer defendants and the underwriter defendants separately moved to dismiss the claims against them in the
amended complaints in the six focus cases. On March 26, 2008, the District Court issued an order in which it denied in substantial part the motions to dismiss the amended complaints in the six focus cases.

On February 25, 2009, the parties advised the District Court that they had reached an agreement-in-principle to settle the
litigation in its entirety. A stipulation of settlement was filed with the District Court on April 2, 2009. On June 9, 2009, the District Court preliminarily approved the proposed global settlement. Notice was provided to the class and a
settlement fairness hearing, at which members of the class had an opportunity to object to the proposed settlement was held on September 10, 2009. On October 6, 2009, the District Court issued an order granting final approval to the
settlement. Ten appeals were filed objecting to the definition of the settlement class and fairness of the settlement, five of which have been dismissed with prejudice. Appeal briefs have been filed by the remaining objector groups, and briefs in
opposition to those appeals are currently due December 17, 2010. The litigation process is inherently uncertain and unpredictable, however, and there can be no guarantee as to the ultimate outcome of this pending lawsuit. While Lionbridge
cannot guarantee the outcome of these proceedings, the Company believes that the final result of this lawsuit will have no material effect on its consolidated financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.

12. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (ASC 820), provides a framework for measuring
fair value and requires expanded disclosures regarding fair value measurements. ASC 820 defines fair value as the price that would be received for an asset or the exit price that would be paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most
advantageous market in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. ASC 820 also establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs, where available. The following
summarizes the three levels of inputs required by the standard that Lionbridge uses to measure fair value, as well as the assets and liabilities that the Company values using those levels of inputs.



|Level 1: | Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
|-------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------



|Level 2: | Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that
are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the related assets or liabilities. Lionbridges Level 2 assets and liabilities are an interest rate swap and foreign exchange forward contracts
whose fair value were determined using pricing models predicated upon observable market spot and forward rates. The interest rate swap is designated as a cash flow hedge under the guidance of ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging (ASC
815) and changes in the fair value are recorded to other comprehensive income. On July 31, 2010, the Companys interest rate swap matured. Changes in the fair value of foreign exchange forward contracts are recorded in the
Companys earnings as other (income) expense. The Company does not have any foreign exchange forward contracts outstanding at September 30, 2010.
|-------- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|Level 3: | Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. Lionbridge does not have
any financial assets and liabilities as of September 30, 2010 designated as Level 3.
|-------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The following tables
set forth the financial assets and liabilities as December 31, 2009 that Lionbridge measured at fair value on a recurring basis by level within the fair value hierarchy. As required by ASC 820, assets and liabilities measured at fair value are
classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to their fair value measurement. Lionbridge does not have any financial assets or liabilities (including money market accounts and interest rate swaps) as of
September 30, 2010 which would require fair value measurement under the guidance of ASC 820.

13. RECENT ACCOUNTING
PRONOUNCEMENTS

In January 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued ASU 2010-06,
Value Measurements and Disclosures  Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements (ASU 2010-06), that amends ASC Subtopic 820-10, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures  Overall, and requires
reporting entities to disclose (1) the amount of significant transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements and describe the reasons for the transfers, and (2) separate information about purchases, sales, issuance and
settlements in the reconciliation of fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3). ASU 2010-06 also requires reporting entities to provide fair value measurement disclosures for each class of assets and liabilities
and disclose the inputs and valuation techniques for fair value measurements that fall within Levels 2 and 3 of the fair value hierarchy. These disclosures and clarification are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after
December 15, 2009, except for the disclosures about purchases, sales, issuance, and settlements in the rollforward of activity in Level 3 fair value measurements. Those disclosures are effective for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 2010 and for interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company adopted the provisions of ASU 2010-06 and the provisions of ASU 2010-06 and the adoption of these provisions does not have a material impact on its
consolidated financial statements.

In February 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-09, Subsequent Events  Amendments
to Certain Recognition and Disclosure Requirements (ASU 2010-09), that amends ASC Subtopic 855-10, Subsequent Events  Overall (ASC 855-10). ASU 2010-09 requires an SEC filer to evaluate subsequent
events through the date that the financial statements are issued but removed the requirement to disclose this date in the notes to the entitys financial statements. The amendments are effective upon issuance of the final update and
accordingly, the Company has adopted the provisions of ASU 2010-09. The adoption of these provisions does not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

Introduction

Lionbridge is a leading provider of globalization, development and testing services that enable clients to develop, release, manage and
maintain their enterprise content and technology applications globally. The Company reports financial performance in the following three segments: Global Language and Content (GLC), Global Development and Testing (GDT) and
Interpretation.

Lionbridge GLC solutions enable the translation, localization and worldwide multilingual release of
clients products, content and related technical support, training materials, and sales and marketing information. Lionbridge GLC solutions involve translating, localizing and adapting content and products to meet the language and cultural
requirements of users throughout the world. As part of its GLC solutions, Lionbridge also develops eLearning content and technical documentation. Lionbridge GLC solutions are based on the Companys internet-architected language technology
platform and global service delivery model which make the translation and localization processes more efficient for Lionbridge clients and translators.

Through its GDT solutions, Lionbridge develops, re-engineers and optimizes IT applications and performs testing to ensure the quality, interoperability, usability and performance of clients
software, consumer technology products, web sites, and content. Lionbridges testing services, which are offered under the VeriTest brand, also include product certification and competitive analysis. Lionbridge has deep domain experience
developing, testing and maintaining applications in a cost-efficient, blended on-site and offshore model.

Lionbridges
Interpretation business pertains to the Companys interpretation services for government organizations and businesses that require human interpreters for non-English speaking individuals.

Lionbridge provides a full suite of language, testing and development outsourcing services to businesses in diverse end markets including
technology, mobile and electronics, life sciences, consumer, publishing, manufacturing, automotive and government. Lionbridges solutions include product localization and content translation; content and eLearning courseware development;
technical writing services; interpretation services; application development and maintenance; software and hardware testing; global search relevance and sourcing; product certification and competitive analysis. Lionbridges services enable
global organizations to increase market penetration and speed adoption of global content and products, enhance return on enterprise application investments, increase workforce productivity and reduce costs.

During 2009, the Company commenced the commercialization of its language technologies by offering these technologies
to subscribers on a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS)-based language technology platform. As part of this initiative, the Company re-architected its internal Logoport® translation memory technology into a secure, multi-tenant platform that can be purchased and used over the Web by individual translators and agencies in over 100
countries. In April 2010, the Company announced general availability of this technology as Translation Workspace, Lionbridges Cloud-based translation memory capability and Software-as-a-Service (SaaS)-based language technology platform,
through GeoWorkz.com, Lionbridges eCommerce platform.

Also in April 2010, the Company announced a partnership agreement
with IBM to accelerate development and commercialization of automated machine translation technology that instantly translates content and communications into multiple languages. As part of the Companys agreement with IBM, Lionbridge has
become the sole provider of Software-as-a-Service (SaaS)-based, text-to-text language automation solutions to commercial clients based on IBMs Real Time Translation Service (RTTS) technology and Translation Workspace. The Company expects
that, by making Translation Workspace generally available to customers and by developing and commercializing customizable real-time automated translation technology, it can expand the Companys market opportunities while bringing innovative
technology solutions to new markets.

For the nine-month period ended September 30, 2010, Lionbridges income from
operations was $4.7 million, with a net income of $1.3 million. For the year ended December 31, 2009, the Companys income from operations was $1.4 million with a net loss of $4.0 million. As of September 30, 2010, the Company had an
accumulated deficit of $234.2 million.

During the first nine months of 2010, certain customers resumed previously delayed or
postponed projects, although other customers continued to delay previously scheduled projects. In addition, in many cases, projects were resumed with reduced scope. Customers continue to enter into new engagements cautiously and conservatively,
likely due to uncertain economic conditions and their internal cost-containment directives.

The Company has
benefitted from long-term, recurring relationships with its large clients. More than 80% of the Companys total revenue is generated from clients that have utilized the Companys services every quarter for 12 consecutive quarters or
longer. Historically, the Companys quarterly results have been impacted by the timing of product release cycles of its customers, particularly from customers in the technology sector. The Company expects that it will continue to generate
and increase revenue from its long term customers and that demand for the Companys services from new customers may continue to stabilize and possibly strengthen in 2011, although the timing and scope of engagements may vary.

Certain segments of Lionbridges business, its GLC segment in particular, are sensitive to fluctuations in the value of the
U.S. Dollar relative to the Euro and other currencies, as a large portion of its cost of revenue and general and administrative expenses are payable in Euros and other currencies, while the majority of its revenues are recorded in U.S. Dollars.
During the quarter ended September 30, 2010, the value of the U.S. Dollar relative to the Euro strengthened by 9.3% from the quarter ended September 30, 2009. This strengthening had an unfavorable foreign currency impact on revenue
for the quarter ended September 30, 2010, particularly in the GLC segment. In addition, the Companys operating income and net income for the quarter ended September 30, 2010 were favorably impacted by foreign currency translation due
to the strengthening of the U.S. Dollar relative to the Euro and certain other currencies. This favorable impact was partially offset by the weakening of the U.S. Dollar against other currencies, in particular the Rupee and Yen. For the
nine months ended September 30, 2010, the value of the U.S. Dollar relative to the Euro strengthened by 3.6% from the nine months ended September 30, 2009. This strengthening relative to the Euro was more than offset by weakening in
the U.S. Dollar against other currencies, in particular the Rupee and Yen. This resulted in an unfavorable foreign currency impact on revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, particularly in the GLC segment. The
Companys operating income and net income for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2010 were negatively impacted by weakening in the U.S. Dollar against most currencies partially offset by strengthening of the U.S. Dollar
relative to the Euro when compared to the corresponding period of 2009.

Revenue Recognition

Lionbridge recognizes revenue as services are performed and amounts are earned in accordance with ASC 605-20, Services
(ASC 605-20). Lionbridge considers amounts to be earned when (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement has been obtained; (2) services are delivered; (3) the fee is fixed or determinable; and (4) collectibility is
reasonably assured. Determination of criteria (3) and (4) are based on managements judgments regarding the fixed nature of the fee charged for services rendered and products delivered and the collectibility of those fees.

Lionbridge records revenue from the provision of services to customers for GLC, GDT and Interpretation services which include content
development, product and content globalization, interpretation, software and hardware testing, product certification and application development and maintenance.

Content development, software and hardware testing, interpretations and application development and maintenance projects are normally time and expense priced contracts, and revenue is recognized using a
time and expense basis over the period of performance, primarily based on labor costs incurred to date.

Product and content
globalization and product certification projects are fixed price contracts and revenue is recognized as services are delivered. Depending on specific contractual provisions and nature of the deliverable, revenue is recognized on (1) a
proportional performance model based on level of effort, (2) as milestones are achieved or (3) when final deliverables have been met. Amounts billed in excess of revenue recognized are recorded as deferred revenue.

The delivery of Lionbridges GLC services involves and is dependent on the translation and development of content by subcontractors
and in-house employees. As the time and cost to translate or produce each word of content within a project is relatively uniform, labor input is reflective of the delivery of the contracted service and an appropriate metric for the measurement of
proportional performance in delivering such services. The use of a proportional performance assessment of service delivery requires significant judgment relative to estimating total contract costs, including assumptions relative to the length of
time to complete the project, the nature and complexity of the work to be performed, anticipated increases in employee wages and prices for subcontractor services, and the availability of subcontractor services. When adjustments in estimated project
costs are identified, anticipated losses, if any, are recognized in the period in which they are determined.

Lionbridges GLC agreements with its customers may provide the customer with a fixed and limited time period following delivery
during which Lionbridge will attempt to address any non-conformity to previously agreed upon objective specifications relating to the work, either in the form of a limited acceptance period or a post-delivery warranty period. Management believes
recognition of revenue at the time the services are delivered is appropriate, because its obligations under such provisions are limited in time, limited in scope, and historically have not involved significant costs. In the future, if the post
delivery acceptance or warranty provisions become more complex or include subjective acceptance criteria, Lionbridge may have to revise its revenue recognition policy appropriately, which could affect the timing of revenue recognition.

Lionbridge provides
integrated full-service offerings throughout a clients product and content lifecycle, including GLC and GDT services. Such multiple-element service offerings are governed by ASC 605-25, Multiple-Element Arrangements (ASC
605-25). For these arrangements where the GLC and GDT services have independent value to the customer, and there is evidence of fair value for each service, the combined service arrangement is bifurcated into separate units for accounting
treatment. In instances where it is not possible to bifurcate a project, direct and incremental costs attributable to each component are deferred and recognized together with the service revenue upon delivery. The determination of fair value
requires the use of significant judgment. Lionbridge determines the fair value of service revenues based upon its recent pricing for those services when sold separately and/or prevailing market rates for similar services.

Revenue includes reimbursement of travel and out-of-pocket expenses with equivalent amounts of expense recorded in cost of revenue.

Estimates for incentive rebates and other allowances are recorded as a reduction of revenues in the period the related
revenues are recorded. These estimates are based upon contracted terms, historical experience and information currently available to management with respect to business and economic trends. Revisions of these estimates are recorded in the period in
which the facts that give rise to the revision become known.

Valuation of Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

Lionbridge assesses the impairment of goodwill and other intangible assets whenever events or changes in circumstances
indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. Such events or conditions could include an economic downturn in the industries to which Lionbridge provides services; increased competition; an increase in operating or other costs; additional
volatility in international currencies; the pace of technological improvements; or other information regarding Lionbridges market value, such as a reduction in stock price to a price near or below the book value of the Company for an extended
period of time. When Lionbridge determines that the carrying value of goodwill may not be recoverable based upon one or more of these indicators of impairment, the Company initially assesses any impairment using fair value measurements based on
projected discounted cash flow valuation models. In addition, in accordance with ASC 350, IntangiblesGoodwill and Other (ASC 350), goodwill is reviewed for impairment on an annual basis. At December 31, 2009, the
Company performed its annual test of goodwill to determine if an impairment existed. This test determined that each reporting units fair value exceeded the carrying value of the net assets of each respective reporting unit, using projected
discounted cash flow modeling. As a result, no impairment was recorded for the year ended December 31, 2009.

The Company
evaluates whether there has been an impairment in the carrying value of its long-lived assets in accordance with ASC 360, Property, Plant and Equipment (ASC 360), if circumstances indicate that a possible impairment may
exist. An impairment in the carrying value of an asset is assessed when the undiscounted expected future operating cash flows derived from the asset grouping are less than its carrying value. If it is determined that the asset is impaired then it is
written down to its estimated fair value. Factors that could lead to an impairment of acquired customer relationships (recorded with the acquisition of Bowne Global Solutions (BGS) in September 2005) include a worsening in customer
attrition rates compared to historical attrition rates, or lower than initially anticipated cash flows associated with customer relationships.

Merger, Restructuring and Other Charges

During the nine-month period ended
September 30, 2010 Lionbridge recorded $5.9 million of restructuring and other charges $4.0 million of which was recorded in the third quarter of 2010. The $5.9 million of restructuring and other charges recorded in the nine-month period ended
September 30, 2010 included $4.0 million for workforce reductions in Europe, the United States and Asia consisting of 65 technical staff, 1 administrative staff and 1 sales staff, $654,000 recorded for vacated facilities and associated site
closure costs, $895,000 of additional costs recorded for a previously vacated facility in order to reflect changes in initial estimates of a sublease arrangement due to current economic conditions and $331,000 for the accelerated amortization of
long-lived assets in connection with vacated facilities, recorded pursuant to the guidance of ASC 420, Exit or Disposal Cost Obligations (ASC 420) and ASC 712, CompensationNonretirement Postemployment
Benefits (ASC 712), and related literature. Of these charges, $5.7 million related to the Companys Global Language and Content (GLC) segment and $171,000 related to the Global Development and Testing
(GDT) segment. The Company made $3.1 million of cash payments in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2010 with $3.1 million and $81,000 related to the GLC and GDT segments, respectively.

During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2009 Lionbridge recorded $4.0 million of restructuring and other charges. The $4.0
million recorded in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2009 included $3.3 million for workforce reductions in Europe, the United States and Asia consisting of 171 technical staff, 24 administrative staff and 14 sales staff and $664,000
recorded for vacated facilities, recorded pursuant to the guidance of ASC 420 and related literature. Of these charges, $3.6 million related to the Companys GLC segment, $280,000 related to the GDT segment, $32,000 related to Corporate and
Other and $20,000 related to the Interpretation segment. The Company made $3.1 million of cash payments in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2009, with $2.7 million, $274,000, $20,000 and $32,000 related to the GLC, GDT, Interpretation
and Corporate and Other segments, respectively.

Stock Option Plans

The Company has stock-based compensation plans for salaried employees and non-employee members of the Board of Directors.
The plans provide for discretionary grants of stock options, restricted stock and stock units, and other stock-based awards. The plans are administered by the Nominating and Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors, which consists of
non-employee directors.

In November 2005, the stockholders of Lionbridge Technologies, Inc. approved the Lionbridge 2005
Stock Incentive Plan (the 2005 Plan), which had been previously adopted by the Lionbridge Board of Directors on October 7, 2005, for officers, employees, non-employee directors and other key persons of Lionbridge and its
subsidiaries. On May 1, 2009, the stockholders of the Company approved an amendment to the 2005 Plan increasing the maximum number of shares of common stock available for issuance under the 2005 Plan by 4,500,000 shares to 8,500,000 shares. At
September 30, 2010, there were 1,860,397 options available for future grant under the 2005 Plan. Options to purchase common stock are granted at the discretion of the Board of Directors and the Nominating and Compensation Committee. Generally,
stock options vest over a four-year period: 25% of the option shares vest one year from the date of grant and the remaining option shares vest at the rate of 12.5% each six month period thereafter. Stock options generally expire five to seven years
from the date of grant under the 2005 Plan. Under the terms of the 2005 Plan, the exercise price of incentive and non-qualified stock option grants must not be less than 100% of the fair market value of the common stock on the date of grant. Options
are amortized using a straight-line basis over the option vesting period.

Lionbridges 1998 Stock Plan (the 1998
Plan) provides for the issuance of incentive and nonqualified stock options. The maximum number of shares of common stock available for issuance under the Plan is 11,722,032 shares and the 1998 Plan expired on January 26, 2008. At
September 30, 2010 there were no options available for future grant under the 1998 Plan. Options to purchase common stock under the 1998 Plan had been granted at the discretion of the Board of Directors and the Nominating and Compensation
Committee. Generally, stock options granted under the 1998 Plan vested over a four-year period: 25% of the option shares vested one year from the date of grant and the remaining option shares vested at the rate of 12.5% each six month period
thereafter. Stock options granted under the 1998 Plan generally expire ten years (five years in certain cases) from the date of grant. Under the terms of the 1998 Plan, the exercise price of incentive stock options granted must not be less than 100%
(110% in certain cases) of the fair market value of the common stock on the date of grant, as determined by the Board of Directors. The exercise price of nonqualified stock options may be less than the fair market value of the common stock on the
date of grant, as determined by the Board of Directors, but in no case may the exercise price be less than the statutory minimum, the par value per share of Lionbridges common stock.

Restricted Stock Awards

Lionbridge issued 1,968,500 and 79,511 shares of restricted common stock and restricted stock units, respectively, under the Companys 2005 Stock Incentive Plan, during the nine-month period ended
September 30, 2010 with a fair market value of $6.1 million. Of the total 2,048,011 shares of restricted common stock and restricted stock units issued in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2010, 1,179,500 have restrictions on
disposition which lapse over four years from the date of grant, 26,511 have restrictions on disposition which lapse over thirteen months from the date of grant, and 842,000 restricted shares were granted to certain employees through the long-term
incentive plan (the LTIP) as long-term performance based stock incentive awards under the Corporations 2005 Stock Incentive Plan. Pursuant to the terms of the LTIP, restrictions with respect to the stock will lapse upon the
achievement of revenue and/or profitability targets within the two or three calendar years from and including the year of grant. The grant date fair value of the shares is recognized over the requisite period of performance once achievement of
criteria is deemed probable. On a quarterly basis, the Company estimates the likelihood of achieving performance goals. Actual results, and future changes in estimates, may differ substantially from the Companys current estimates. If the
targets are not achieved, the shares will be forfeited by the employee.

Stock-based Compensation

The Company recognizes expense for stock options, performance-based restricted stock awards and time-based restricted stock awards
pursuant to the authoritative guidance of Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 718, Compensation  Stock Compensation. Total compensation expense related to stock options, market-based restricted stock awards and
time-based restricted stock awards was $970,000 and $696,000 for the three-month periods ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively, and $3.0 million and $2.8 million for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2010 and 2009,
respectively, classified in the statement of operations line items as follows:

most foreign currencies, in particular the Euro, as compared to the corresponding quarter of the prior year. Lionbridge conducts a large portion of its business in international markets.
Approximately 40% of its revenue for the quarter ended September 30, 2010 is denominated in foreign currencies, primarily the Euro. A fluctuation in foreign currency exchange rates primarily affects the GLC segment. Total revenue for the nine
months ended September 30, 2010 was $304.8 million, an increase of $20.6 million, or 7.3%, from $284.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009. Revenue increases during the nine months ended September 30, 2010 in the GLC
and GDT segments were $13.1 million and $11.1 million, respectively, as compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2009. Revenue decline during the nine months ended September 30, 2010 in the Interpretation segment was $3.5 million as
compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2009. This period-over-period increase in total revenue was primarily due to approximately $22.9 million of organic growth, partially offset by decreased revenue of $2.3 million as a result of the
U.S. Dollar strengthening against most foreign currencies, in particular the Euro, as compared to the corresponding period of the prior year.

Revenue from the Companys GLC segment was $69.5 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2010, a decrease of $1.6 million, or 2.2%, from $71.0 million for the quarter ended
September 30, 2009. As compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2009, revenues decreased by approximately $2.7 million as a result of the U.S. Dollar strengthening against most foreign currencies, in particular against the Euro.
During this same comparative period, revenues increased approximately $1.1 million due to organic growth. For the nine months ended September 30, 2010, revenue from the Companys GLC segment was $217.2 million, an increase of $13.1
million, or 6.4%, from $204.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009. As compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2009, GLC revenues increased approximately $15.2 million due to organic growth reflecting increased
demand for the Companys services, particularly from existing customers, partially offset by approximately $2.1 million as a result of the U.S. Dollar strengthening against most foreign currencies.

Revenue from the Companys GDT segment was $25.1 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2010, an increase of $3.6 million,
or 16.7%, from $21.5 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2009. For the nine months ended September 30, 2010, revenue from the Companys GDT segment was $73.0 million, an increase of $11.3 million, or 18.3%, from $62.0 million
for the nine months ended September 30, 2009. The period-over-period increases in GDT revenue were primarily due to increased revenue from expanded relationships and new programs from existing customers. Revenue in the GDT segment is not
materially impacted by fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates.

Revenue from the Companys Interpretation
segment was $4.6 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2010, a decrease of $620,000, or 11.8%, from $5.3 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2009. For the nine months ended September 30, 2010, revenue from the
Companys Interpretation segment was $14.6 million, a decrease of $3.5 million, or 19.5%, from $18.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009. The decrease in Interpretation revenue for the quarter and nine months ended
September 30, 2010 was primarily due to decreased revenue from one large customer engagement. Revenue in the Interpretation segment is not materially impacted by fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates.

Cost of Revenue. Cost of revenue, excluding depreciation and amortization, consists primarily of expenses incurred for translation

For the quarter ended
September 30, 2010, as a percentage of revenue, cost of revenue decreased to 68.1% as compared to 68.9% for the quarter ended September 30, 2009. The decrease was primarily the result of an increase in revenue, supplemented by the benefit
of cost saving initiatives implemented in 2009 and the first nine months of 2010, and continued benefits realized from the deployment and use of Lionbridges language management technology platform, in addition to the strengthening of the
U.S. Dollar against most foreign currencies, particularly the Euro, as compared to the corresponding period of 2009.

For
the quarter ended September 30, 2010, cost of revenue increased $180,000, or 0.3%, to $67.6 million as compared to $67.4 million for the corresponding period of the prior year. This increase was primarily associated with the $1.4 million
increase in revenue as compared to the corresponding period of the prior year, offset by approximately $2.5 million of reduced expenses attributable to the strengthening of the U.S. Dollars exchange rate against most foreign currencies, in
particular the Euro. For the nine months ended September 30, 2010, cost of revenue was $206.2 million, an increase of $11.9 million, or 6.1 %, as compared to $194.3 million for the same period of 2009. This increase was primarily
associated with the $20.6 million increase in revenue as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2009, offset by approximately $354,000 of reduced expenses attributable to the strengthening of the U.S. Dollars exchange rate
against most foreign currencies, in particular the Euro.

For the quarter ended September 30, 2010, cost of revenue as a
percentage of revenue in the Companys GLC segment decreased to 67.1% as compared to 68.8% for the quarter ended September 30, 2009, primarily attributable to the strengthening of the U.S. Dollars exchange rate against most foreign
currencies, in particular the Euro. Cost of revenue decreased $2.2 million to $46.6 million compared to $48.8 million for the same quarter of the prior year, primarily attributable to the strengthening of the U.S. Dollars exchange rate against
most foreign currencies, in particular the Euro. For the nine months ended September 30, 2010, cost of revenue as a percentage of revenue in the Companys GLC segment decreased to 66.7% as compared to 68.4% for the nine months ended
September 30, 2009. For the nine months ended September 30, 2010, GLC cost of revenue increased $5.3 million to $144.9 million as compared to $139.6 million for the corresponding period of the prior year. This increase is primarily
associated with the $13.1 million increase in revenue as compared to the corresponding period of the prior year, offset by reduced expenses of approximately $290,000 attributable to the strengthening of the U.S. Dollar exchange rate against
most foreign currencies, as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2009.

For the quarter ended
September 30, 2010, cost of revenue as a percentage of revenue in the Companys GDT segment increased to 67.7% as compared to 64.9% for the quarter ended September 30, 2009. For the quarter ended September 30, 2010, GDT cost of
revenue increased $3.0 million, or 21.7%, to $17.0 million as compared to $14.0 million for the corresponding quarter of the prior year. This increase was primarily associated with the $3.6 million increase in revenue period-over-period. For the
nine months ended September 30, 2010, cost of revenue as a percentage of revenue in the Companys GDT segment increased to 66.5% as compared to 65.5% for the nine months ended September 30, 2009, primarily due to an increase in
U.S.-based customer delivery. For the nine months ended September 30, 2010, cost of revenue was $48.5 million, an increase of $8.0 million, or 20.0%, as compared to $40.6 million for the same period of 2009. This increase was primarily
associated with the $11.1 million increase in revenue as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2009.

For the
quarter ended September 30, 2010, cost of revenue as a percentage of revenue in the Companys Interpretation segment decreased to 85.4% as compared to 87.1% for the quarter ended September 30, 2009. For the quarter ended
September 30, 2010, Interpretation cost of revenue decreased $615,000, or 13.4%, to $4.0 million as compared to $4.6 million for the corresponding quarter of the prior year. This decrease was primarily associated with the $620,000 decrease in
revenue period-over-period. For the nine months ended September 30, 2010, cost of revenue as a percentage of revenue in the Companys Interpretation segment increased to 86.9% as compared to 77.4% for the nine months ended
September 30, 2009. This increase reflects the unfavorable impact of pricing and work mix variations in services as compared to the corresponding period of the prior year. For the nine months ended September 30, 2010, cost of revenue was
$12.7 million, a decrease of $1.3 million, or 9.6%, as compared to $14.1 million for the same period of 2009. This decrease was primarily associated with the $3.5 million decrease in revenue as compared to the nine months ended September 30,
2009. The Companys Interpretation segment is not materially impacted by foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations.

General and administrative
expenses increased $123,000, or 0.7%, for the three months ended September 30, 2010 as compared to the corresponding period of 2009. The majority of this increase is primarily due to increased employee compensation and benefits and stock-based
compensation expense. Approximately $424,000 of the increase is offset by reduced expenses attributable to the strengthening of the U.S. Dollars exchange rate against most foreign currencies, in particular the Euro. Approximately 47% of
general and administrative expenses are denominated in non-U.S. Dollars, primarily the Euro, and of that amount a majority of these expenses related to rent and compensation expense in the three months September 30, 2010, as compared to the
three months ended September 30, 2009. As a percentage of revenue, general and administrative expenses decreased to 18.1% for the quarter ended September 30, 2010, as compared to 18.3%, for the same period of the prior year. This decrease
is primarily associated with the $1.4 million increase in revenue for the quarter ended September 30, 2010, as compared to the corresponding period of the prior year and the result of the cost saving initiatives implemented during 2009 and the
first nine months of 2010.

General and administrative expenses increased $368,000, or 0.7%, for the nine months ended
September 30, 2010 as compared to the corresponding period of 2009. The majority of this increase is primarily due to increased employee compensation and benefits and stock-based compensation expense. In addition, the depreciation of the
U.S. Dollar against certain foreign exchange currencies, in particular Yen and Rupee, increased general and administrative expenses by approximately $133,000 as compared to the corresponding period of 2009. As a percentage of revenue, general
and administrative expenses decreased to 18.2% for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, as compared to 19.4%, for the same period of the prior year. This decrease is primarily associated with the $20.6 million increase in revenue for the
nine months ended September 30, 2010, as compared to the corresponding period of the prior year and the result of the cost saving initiatives implemented during 2009 and the first nine months of 2010.

Research and
Development. Research and development expenses relate primarily to the Companys web-based hosted language management technology platform used in the globalization process and the research and development of a globalization management
system, its Translation Workspace software-as-a-service offering, and development of automated machine translation technology licensed from IBM. The cost consists primarily of salaries and associated employee benefits and third-party contractor
expenses. The following table shows research and development expense in dollars, the dollar change from the three and nine-month periods of the prior year and as a percentage of revenue for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 and
2009, respectively:

Research and development
expenses increased $102,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2010 as compared to the corresponding period of 2009. This increase is primarily attributable to the strengthening of the U.S. Dollars exchange rate against most foreign
currencies, in particular the Euro. Research and development costs decreased $469,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 as compared to the corresponding period of 2009. This decrease is primarily the result of an increase in the
internal and external capitalized costs for the development of the Companys web-based hosted language management technology platform, its Translation Workspace software-as-a-service offering and development of automated machine translation
technology licensed from IBM and to a lesser extent the strengthening of the U.S. Dollars exchange rate against most foreign currencies, in particular the Euro.

Depreciation and Amortization.Depreciation and amortization consist of the expense related to property and equipment that is being depreciated over the estimated useful lives of the assets using
the straight-line method. The following table shows depreciation and amortization expense in dollars, the dollar change from the three and nine-month periods of the prior year and as a percentage of revenue for the three and nine months ended
September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively:



|                                            |  |                                  |           |   |                                 |   |           |      |  |   |           |   |  |   |           |

Depreciation and
amortization expense increased by $111,000 and $121,000 in the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively, as compared to the corresponding periods of the prior year. This increase is primarily the result of
the depreciation of increased internal and external capitalized costs for the development of the Companys web-based hosted management technology platform and software-as-a-service offering. Capitalized costs related to the Companys
customizable real-time automated machine translation technology licensed from IBM have not yet been amortized as the commercial version of the technology is under development and not ready for its intended use.

Amortization of Acquisition-related Intangible Assets.Amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets consists of the
amortization of identifiable intangible assets resulting from acquired businesses. Amortization expense for the three months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 of $1.2 million and $1.4 million, respectively, and for the nine months ended
September 30, 2010 and 2009 of $3.7 million and $4.1 million, respectively, relates solely to the amortization of identifiable intangible assets acquired from BGS in 2005.

Interest Expense.Interest expense primarily represents interest paid or payable on debt and the amortization of deferred
financing costs. Interest expense for the quarter ended September 30, 2010 of $390,000 decreased $80,000 from $470,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2009. The decrease reflects the impact of an approximately $11.9 million lower
average borrowings during the quarter, year-over-year, coupled with lower interest rates. In addition, for the quarter ended September 30, 2010, the Company recognized $155,000 of accelerated deferred financing costs associated with the amended
Credit Agreement as interest expense. Interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 of $1.1 million decreased $504,000 from $1.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009. The decrease reflects the impact of an
approximately $19.8 million lower average borrowings during the nine-month period year-over-year coupled with lower interest rates.

Other Expense, Net.Other expense, net primarily reflects the foreign currency transaction gains or losses arising from exchange rate fluctuations on transactions denominated in currencies other
than the functional currencies of the countries in which the transactions are recorded. The Company recognized $1.6 million and $1.2 million in other expense, net, in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, respectively, as compared
to $3.0 million and $3.7 million in the corresponding periods of the prior year.

The variations are primarily attributable to the variances among the Euro and other currencies against the U.S. Dollar in the periods, as compared to the net position and variance during the
corresponding periods of the prior year. in addition, to a net realized and unrealized foreign currency loss of $384,000 and gain of $523,000 on forward contracts recorded in the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2010,
respectively. In addition, other expense, net also included $186,000 and $1.2 million in the three-month periods ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively, relating to the reduction of an indemnification receivable related to indemnified
reserves for uncertain tax positions related to the BGS acquisition.

Provision for (Benefit from) Income Taxes. The
following table shows the provision for (benefit from) income taxes expense in dollars, the dollar change from the three and nine-month periods of the prior year and as a percentage of revenue for the three and nine months ended September 30,
2010 and 2009, respectively:

The provision for
(benefit from) income taxes consists primarily of taxes resulting from profits in foreign jurisdictions, interest and penalties associated with uncertain tax positions, a deferred tax benefit for the recognition of deferred tax assets in foreign
jurisdictions, and reduction of deferred tax liabilities related to the intangible assets from the BGS acquisition. The tax provision increased $1.3 million to a benefit of $295,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2010 from a benefit of
$1.6 million in the corresponding quarter of the prior year and increased $1.7 million to an expense of $1.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 from a benefit of $404,000 in the corresponding period of the prior year. These
increases are primarily due to higher foreign profits which are subject to tax by the foreign jurisdictions due to treatment of the foreign subsidiaries as service providers that earn a profit based on a cost-plus model, as well as tax benefits
recorded in 2009 as a result of the release of reserves due to the lapse of statutes of limitations.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

On December 21, 2006, the Company entered into a revolving credit facility (the Credit Agreement) with
HSBC Bank USA, National Association. The Credit Agreement was subsequently amended in 2007 and 2009 to add certain additional non-U.S. subsidiaries of the Company as Borrowers or Guarantors and again on September 30, 2010 (the 2010
Amendment) to extend the term for an additional four years to 2014. The amended Credit Agreement, as amended by the 2010 Amendment, provides for a $50.0 million revolving credit facility and established interest rates in the range of LIBOR
plus 1.75 % - 2.20%, depending on certain conditions. At September 30, 2010, $24.7 million was outstanding with an interest rate of 2.3%.

Net cash provided by
operating activities was $10.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, as compared to $11.0 million for the corresponding period of the prior year. The $10.0 million cash provided by operating activities was due to net income of
$1.3 million (inclusive of $10.4 million in depreciation, amortization, stock-based compensation and other non-cash expenses), a $2.1 million net increase in accounts receivable and unbilled receivables, a $2.4 million increase in other operating
assets, a $5.4 million increase in accounts payable, accrued expenses and other operating liabilities, and a $2.6 million decrease in deferred revenue.

##### Table of Contents



In the nine months
ended September 30, 2009, net cash provided by operating activities was $11.0 million. Cash provided by operating activities was due to a net loss of $6.3 million (inclusive of $10.0 million in depreciation, amortization, stock-based
compensation and other non-cash expenses), a $13.6 million net decrease in accounts receivable and unbilled receivables, a $1.4 million decrease in other operating assets, a $5.3 million decrease in accounts payable, accrued expenses and other
operating liabilities, and a $2.5 million decrease in deferred revenue. Lionbridge has not experienced any significant trends in accounts receivable and unbilled receivables other than changes relative to the change in revenue, as previously noted.
Fluctuations in accounts receivable from period to period relative to changes in revenue are a result of timing of customer invoicing and receipt of payments from customers.

Net cash used in investing activities increased $5.7 million to $7.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, as compared to $1.9 million for the corresponding period of the prior year.
The primary investing activity in the nine months ended September 30, 2010 was $8.2 million for the purchase of property and equipment, offset by $527,000 net proceeds from forward contracts.

In the nine months ended September 30, 2009, net cash used in investing activities was $1.9 million, primarily for the purchase of
property and equipment.

Net cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 was
$340,000, an increase of $24.5 million as compared to $24.1 million of net cash used in financing activities for the corresponding period of 2009. Cash provided by financing activities consisted of $348,000 of proceeds from the issuance of common
stock under option plans and $8,000 for payments of capital lease obligations.

In the nine months ended September 30,
2009, net cash used in financing activities was $24.1 million. Cash used in financing activities consisted of $24.0 million of payments of long-term debt, $3.5 million of payments of short-term debt, $126,000 for payments of capital lease
obligations and $3.5 million of proceeds from the issuance of short-term debt.

On May 5, 2010, Lionbridge filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission a shelf registration statement on Form S-3 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (SEC File No. 333-166529), covering the registration of debt and equity securities (the Securities), in
an aggregate amount of $100.0 million. The registration statement was declared effective by the Commission on May 13, 2010. The Company may offer these Securities from time to time in amounts, at prices and on terms to be determined at the time
of sale. The Company believes that with this Registration Statement, it has additional financing flexibility to meet potential future funding requirements and the ability to take advantage of potentially attractive capital market conditions.

Lionbridge anticipates that its present cash and short-term investments position and available financing should provide
adequate cash to fund its currently anticipated cash needs for the next twelve months and foreseeable future.

Contractual Obligations

As of September 30, 2010, there were no material changes in Lionbridges contractual obligations as disclosed in
the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009. Tax provisions during the nine months ended September 30, 2010, primarily related to taxes and accrued interest, have increased the balance of unrecognized
tax benefits by $376,000 to $8.2 million.

Approximately $2.0 million of this balance is related to tax liabilities accruing
on or prior to the acquisition of BGS on September 1, 2005. Bowne & Co., Inc. has agreed to indemnify Lionbridge for these amounts. The Company believes that it is reasonably possible that approximately $552,000 of its unrecognized tax
benefits, consisting of several items in various jurisdictions, may be recognized within the next twelve months.

Off-Balance Sheet
Arrangements

The Company does not have any special purpose entities or off-balance sheet financing arrangements.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In January 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued ASU 2010-06, Value Measurements and Disclosures  Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements
(ASU 2010-06), that amends ASC Subtopic 820-10, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures  Overall, and requires reporting entities to disclose (1) the amount of significant transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level
2 fair value measurements and describe the reasons for the transfers, and (2) separate information about purchases, sales, issuance and settlements in the reconciliation of fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs

(Level 3). ASU 2010-06 also requires reporting entities to provide fair value measurement disclosures for each class of assets and liabilities and disclose the inputs and valuation
techniques for fair value measurements that fall within Levels 2 and 3 of the fair value hierarchy. These disclosures and clarification are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for
the disclosures about purchases, sales, issuance, and settlements in the rollforward of activity in Level 3 fair value measurements. Those disclosures are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010 and for interim periods
within those fiscal years. The Company adopted the provisions of ASU 2010-06 and the provisions of ASU 2010-06 and the adoption of these provisions does not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In February 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-09, Subsequent Events  Amendments to Certain Recognition and Disclosure
Requirements (ASU 2010-09), that amends ASC Subtopic 855-10, Subsequent Events  Overall (ASC 855-10). ASU 2010-09 requires an SEC filer to evaluate subsequent events through the date that the financial
statements are issued but removed the requirement to disclose this date in the notes to the entitys financial statements. The amendments are effective upon issuance of the final update and accordingly, the Company has adopted the provisions of
ASU 2010-09. The adoption of these provisions does not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.



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

Lionbridge conducts its business globally and its earnings and cash flows are exposed to market risk from changes in interest rates and currency exchange rates. The Company manages its risk to foreign
currency transaction exposure and interest rates through risk management programs that include the use of derivative financial instruments. Lionbridge operates these programs pursuant to documented corporate risk management policies. Lionbridge does
not enter into any derivative transactions for speculative purposes. Gains and losses on derivative financial instruments substantially offset gains and losses on underlying hedged exposures.

Interest Rate Risk. Lionbridge is exposed to market risk from changes in interest rates with respect to its revolving loan
facility which bears interest at Prime or LIBOR (at the Companys discretion) plus an applicable margin based on certain financial covenants. As of September 30, 2010, $24.7 million was outstanding under this facility. A hypothetical 10%
increase or decrease in interest rates would have approximately a $56,000 impact on the Companys interest expense based on the $24.7 million outstanding at September 30, 2010 with an interest rate of 2.3%. On July 20, 2007, the
Company entered into a three-year amortizing interest rate swap with a notional amount of $20.0 million that corresponds to a portion of the Companys floating rate credit facility. On July 31, 2008, the notional amount decreased to $15.0
million and on July 31, 2009, the notional amount decreased to $10.0 million. On July 31, 2010, the interest rate swap matured. Additionally, Lionbridge is exposed to market risk through its investing activities. The Companys
portfolio consists primarily of short-term time deposits that have maturities less than 90 days. A hypothetical 10% increase or decrease in interest rates would not have a material impact on the carrying value of Lionbridges investments due to
their immediately available liquidity.

Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk. Lionbridge conducts a large portion of its
business in international markets. Although a majority of Lionbridges contracts with clients are denominated in U.S. Dollars, 64% and 67% of its costs and expenses for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2010 and 2009,
respectively, were denominated in foreign currencies, primarily operating expenses associated with cost of revenue, sales and marketing and general and administrative. In addition, 16% and 13% of the Companys consolidated tangible assets were
subject to foreign currency exchange fluctuations as of September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively, while 13% and 10% of its consolidated liabilities were exposed to foreign currency exchange fluctuations as of
September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively. In addition, net inter-company balances denominated in currencies other than the functional currency of the respective entity were approximately $47.0 million and $34.0 million as of
September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively. The principal foreign currency applicable to our business is the Euro. The Company has implemented a risk management program that partially mitigates its exposure to assets or
liabilities (primarily cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable) denominated in currencies other than the functional currency of the respective entity which includes the use of derivative financial instruments, principally
foreign exchange forward contracts. These foreign exchange forward contracts do not qualify for hedge accounting under the ASC 815 guidance. The Company had no forward contracts outstanding at September 30, 2010. Any increase or decrease in the
fair value of the Companys currency exchange rate sensitive forward contracts would be substantially offset by a corresponding decrease or increase in the fair value of the hedged underlying asset or liability.



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

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. Lionbridge maintains disclosure controls and procedures designed to provide
reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in the Companys filings under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported accurately within the time periods specified in the Securities and
Exchange Commissions rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no
matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. As of the end
of the period covered by this report, an evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of
the Companys disclosure controls and procedures (pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 13a-15). Based upon this evaluation, the CEO and CFO concluded that the Companys disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance
level as of September 30, 2010.

Changes in internal

materially affect, the Companys internal control over financial reporting.

LIONBRIDGE
TECHNOLOGIES, INC.

PART IIOTHER INFORMATION



|Item 1. | Legal Proceedings
|------- | -----------------

On or
about July 24, 2001, a purported securities class action lawsuit captioned Samet v. Lionbridge Technologies, Inc. et al. (01-CV-6770) was filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (the
Court) against the Company, certain of its officers and directors, and certain underwriters involved in the Companys initial public offering. The complaint in this action asserted, among other things, that omissions regarding the
underwriters alleged conduct in allocating shares in Lionbridges initial public offering to the underwriters customers. In March 2002, the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York entered an order
dismissing without prejudice the claims against Lionbridge and its officers and directors (the case remained pending against the underwriter defendants).

On April 19, 2002, the plaintiffs filed an amended complaint naming as defendants not only the underwriter defendants but also Lionbridge and certain of its officers and directors. The amended
complaint asserts claims under both the registration and antifraud provisions of the federal securities laws relating to, among other allegations, the underwriters alleged conduct in allocating shares in the Companys initial public
offering and the disclosures contained in the Companys registration statement. On July 15, 2002, the Company, together with the other issuers named as defendants in these coordinated proceedings, filed a collective motion to dismiss
the complaint on various legal grounds common to all or most of the issuer defendants. In October 2002, the claims against officers and directors were dismissed without prejudice. In February 2003, the Court issued its ruling on the motion to
dismiss, ruling that the claims under the antifraud provisions of the securities laws could proceed against the Company and a majority of the other issuer defendants.

In June 2003, Lionbridge elected to participate in a proposed settlement agreement with the plaintiffs in this litigation. If the proposed settlement had been approved by the Court, it would have resulted
in the dismissal, with prejudice, of all claims in the litigation against Lionbridge and against any other of the issuer defendants who elected to participate in the proposed settlement, together with the current or former officers and directors of
participating issuers who were named as individual defendants. This proposed issuer settlement was conditioned on, among other things, a ruling by the District Court that the claims against Lionbridge and against the other issuers who had agreed to
the settlement would be certified for class action treatment for purposes of the proposed settlement, such that all investors included in the proposed classes in these cases would be bound by the terms of the settlement unless an investor opted to
be excluded from the settlement.

On December 5, 2006, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit issued a decision
in In re Initial Public Offering Securities Litigation that six purported class action lawsuits containing allegations substantially similar to those asserted against the Company may not be certified as class actions due, in part, to the
Appeals Courts determination that individual issues of reliance and knowledge would predominate over issues common to the proposed classes. On January 8, 2007, the plaintiffs filed a petition seeking rehearing en banc of the Second
Circuit Court of Appeals decision. On April 6, 2007 the Court of Appeals denied the plaintiffs petition for rehearing of the Courts December 5, 2006 ruling but noted that the plaintiffs remained free to ask the District
Court to certify classes different from the ones originally proposed which might meet the standards for class certification that the Court of Appeals articulated in its December 5, 2006 decision. In light of the Court of Appeals
December 5, 2006 decision regarding certification of the plaintiffs claims, the District Court entered an order on June 25, 2007 terminating the proposed settlement between the plaintiffs and the issuers, including Lionbridge.

On August 14, 2007, the plaintiffs filed amended complaints in the six focus cases. The issuer defendants and the
underwriter defendants separately moved to dismiss the claims against them in the amended complaints in the six focus cases. On March 26, 2008, the District Court issued an order in which it denied in substantial part the motions to dismiss the
amended complaints in the six focus cases.

On February 25, 2009, the parties advised the District Court that they had
reached an agreement-in-principle to settle the litigation in its entirety. A stipulation of settlement was filed with the District Court on April 2, 2009. On June 9, 2009, the District Court preliminarily approved the proposed global
settlement. Notice was provided to the class and a settlement fairness hearing, at which members of the class had an opportunity to object to the proposed settlement was held on September 10, 2009. On October 6, 2009, the District Court
issued an order granting final approval to the settlement. Ten appeals were filed objecting to the definition of the settlement class and fairness of the settlement, five of which have been dismissed with prejudice. Appeal briefs have

been filed by the remaining objector groups, and briefs in opposition to those appeals are currently due December 17, 2010. The litigation process is inherently uncertain and unpredictable,
however, and there can be no guarantee as to the ultimate outcome of this pending lawsuit. While Lionbridge cannot guarantee the outcome of these proceedings, the Company believes that the final result of this lawsuit will have no material effect on
its consolidated financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.



|Item 1A. | Risk Factors
|-------- | ------------

The matters
discussed in this Form 10-Q include forward-looking statements that involve risks or uncertainties. These statements are neither promises nor guarantees, but are based on various assumptions by management regarding future circumstances many of which
Lionbridge has little or no control over. A number of important risks and uncertainties, including those identified under the caption Risk Factors in Lionbridges Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed March 16, 2010 (SEC File No.
000-26933) (the 2009 Annual Report) and subsequent filings as well as risks and uncertainties discussed elsewhere in this Form 10-Q, could cause Lionbridges actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking
statements. There have been no material changes in Lionbridges risk factors from those disclosed in Lionbridges 2009 Annual Report.



|Item 2. | Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
|------- | -----------------------------------------------------------

During the quarter ended September 30, 2010, the Company withheld 5,240 restricted shares from certain employees to cover certain withholding taxes due from the employees at the time the shares
