LIONBRIDGE TECHNOLOGIES, INC.

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. These
statements should be read in conjunction with the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005.

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 percentage-of-completion assessment and valuing intangible assets, deferred tax assets and net assets of businesses acquired. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

2. STOCKHOLDERS EQUITY AND STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

Effect of Adoption of SFAS 123R, Share-Based Payment

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 generally administered by the Nominating and Compensation
Committee of the Board of Directors, consisting of non-employee directors.

Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment, (SFAS 123R), utilizing the modified prospective method whereby prior periods will not be restated for comparability. SFAS 123R requires
recognition of stock-based compensation expense in the statement of operations over the vesting period based on the fair value of the award at the grant date. Previously, the Company used the intrinsic value method under Accounting Principles Board
Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees (APB 25), as amended by related interpretations of the FASB.

Under APB 25, no compensation cost was recognized for stock options because the quoted market price of the stock at the grant date was equal to the amount per share the employee had to pay to acquire the stock after fulfilling the vesting
period. SFAS 123R supersedes APB 25 as well as Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 123 Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, (SFAS 123), which permitted pro forma footnote disclosures to report the
difference between the fair value method and the intrinsic value method.

The Company recognized expense for restricted stock grants under
the previous guidance, thus the impact from adopting SFAS 123R pertains to its requirement to expense stock options. In the three months ending March 31, 2006, the Company expensed $748,000 for stock options, principally classified in sales and
marketing and general and administrative expense in the statement of operations. As a result of the adoption of SFAS 123R and the resulting expense of $748,000 during the quarter ended March 31, 2006, the Company also experienced an after tax
impact of the expense related to stock options on its earnings per share during the quarter of one cent. The Company has reclassified $316,000 of stock-based compensation recognized under APB 25 in the three month period ended March 31, 2005
from the previously reported stock-based compensation line item into the operating expense line items to conform to the current period presentation.

Valuation Assumptions for Stock Options

For the quarters ended March 31, 2006 and 2005, 879,000
and 561,000 stock options were granted, respectively. There were no shares issued under the employee stock purchase plan in the three months ended March 31, 2006, and no

expense was recorded. The fair value of each option was estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following
assumptions:



|                        |  |                             |   |  |      |

|Risk-free interest rate |  | 4.49                        | % |  | 3.80 | %
|Expected volatility     |  | 50.8                        | % |  | 84.0 | %
|Expected life (years)   |  | 3.3                         |   |  | 4.0  |  
|Dividend yield          |  | 0                           | % |  | 0    | %

Expected volatilities are based on historical volatilities of our common stock; the expected life
represents the weighted average period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding giving consideration to vesting schedules and our historical exercise patterns; and the risk-free rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in
effect at the time of grant for periods corresponding with the expected life of the option. In accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) 107, the Company estimated the expected volatility of its stock options, taking into account a combination
of both historical and implied volatility. The expected volatility was determined by averaging the historical volatilities of its common stock, from August 2003, the date of the Companys follow-on offering, which resulted in a material change
to the Companys shareholder base as well as a change in behavior of our stock in the marketplace with our implied volatility rate, based on the volatility of Lionbridges traded options with terms exceeding six months. This analysis
resulted in an expected volatility rate of 50.8%.

Stock Option Plans

In November 2005, the stockholders of Lionbridge Technologies, Inc. approved the Lionbridge 2005 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. The maximum number of shares of common stock available
for issuance under the 2005 Plan is 4,000,000 shares. At March 31, 2006 there were 2,715,800 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 years from the date of grant. 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
Option Plan (the 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. At March 31, 2006 there were
833,184 options available for future grant under the 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 ten years (five years in

certain cases) from the date of grant. Under the terms of the 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.

Harvard Translations and INTL.com, both acquired in May 2000, also maintained stock option plans which were assumed by Lionbridge and provided for
grants of options to officers, consultants and employees that expire ten years (five years in certain cases) from date of grant. The stock option grants generally vest over four to five years except for certain options that have acceleration clauses
effective upon certain circumstances including a change of ownership or control. Upon the mergers of Harvard Translations and INTL.com into Lionbridge, Lionbridge assumed options for the purchase of 742,584 shares of common stock. No further
options will be granted under these plans.

Data Dimensions maintained stock option plans, which provided for grants to employees and
directors that generally expire five years from the date of grant. The stock options generally vest over four years. Upon the acquisition of Data Dimensions, Lionbridge assumed options for the purchase of 408,911 shares of Lionbridge common stock.
No further options will be granted under these plans.

The aggregate intrinsic value in the table above represents the total intrinsic value, based on
the Companys common stock closing price of $7.91 as of March 31, 2006, which would have been received by the option holders had all option holders exercised their options as of that date. The total number of in-the-money options
exercisable as of March 31, 2006 was 2,242,016.

The weighted average grant date fair value of options, as determined under SFAS 123R
and SFAS 123, granted during the three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005 was $3.17 and $3.70, per share respectively. The total intrinsic value of options exercised during the three month period ended March 31, 2006 and 2005 was
approximately $1.1 million and $327,000, respectively. The total cash received from employees as a result of employee stock option exercises during the three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005 was approximately $632,000 and $156,000,
respectively.

As of March 31, 2006 future compensation cost related to nonvested stock options, less estimated forfeitures, is
approximately $7.5 million and will be recognized over an estimated weighted average period of approximately 1.5 years. The total fair value of shares vested during the period was $851,000.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan

Lionbridges 1999 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the Purchase Plan) is a qualified employee stock purchase plan under Section 423 of
the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. The Purchase Plan allows for the issuance of 1,000,000 shares of Lionbridges common stock to eligible employees. Under the Purchase Plan, Lionbridge is authorized to make a series of offerings
during which employees may purchase shares of common stock through payroll deductions made over the term of the offering. Prior to January 1, 2006, the per-share purchase price at the end of each offering is equal to 85% of the fair market value of
the common stock at the beginning or end of the offering period (as defined by the Purchase Plan), whichever is lower and effective January 1, 2006, the per-share purchase price at the end of each offering is equal to 95% of the fair market value of
the common stock at the end of the offering period (as defined by the Purchase Plan). There was no compensation expense in connection with the plan for the three months ended March 31, 2006. There were no shares purchased under the employee
stock purchase plan during the three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005. At March 31, 2006, a total of 625,055 shares were reserved and available for issuance under this plan.

Restricted Stock Awards

On
January 26, 2006, Lionbridge issued 14,000 shares of restricted common stock and 12,000 restricted stock units with a fair market value of $109,000. On February 15, 2006, Lionbridge issued 221,200 shares of restricted common stock and
105,500 restricted stock units with a fair market value of $1.6 million. Restrictions on disposition lapse over four years from the date of grant on each anniversary date.

Total compensation related to all restricted stock awards was $552,000 and $316,000 for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2006 and 2005,
respectively.

4. BUSINESS ACQUISITIONS

Bowne Global Solutions

On September 1, 2005, Lionbridge completed the acquisition of Bowne
Global Solutions (BGS) pursuant to the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of June 27, 2005. After the acquisition, BGS became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Lionbridge. At the closing, each share of common stock of
BGS was automatically converted into the right to receive a portion of the acquisition consideration. To fund a portion of the purchase price for its acquisition of BGS, the Company entered into a Credit Agreement (Credit Agreement) dated as of
September 1, 2005, together with certain of its U.S. and non-U.S. subsidiaries, the several banks and financial institutions as may become parties to the Credit Agreement (Lenders) and Wachovia Bank, National Association, as administrative
agent for the Lenders. The Credit Agreement provides for a five-year $25.0 million revolving credit facility and a six-year $100.0 million term facility.

The BGS acquisition was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. The total purchase price was $188.4 million, consisting of a cash payment of $128.5 million made at the closing, 9.4 million shares
of Lionbridges common stock with a fair market value of $56.5 million, and an additional $3.4 million of direct acquisition costs. The market price used to value the Lionbridge shares issued as partial consideration for BGS was $6.01, which
represents the 5 day average closing price of the stock during the period beginning two days before and ending two days after June 28, 2005 the first trading day of the Companys common stock following announcement of the acquisition on
June 27, 2005. Lionbridge borrowed $2.5 million under the revolving credit facility component of the Credit Agreement and $97.7 million (net of $2.3 million of debt financing fees) under the term facility component of the Credit Agreement,
which amounts were used to pay a portion of the cash consideration at the closing.

Under the purchase method of accounting, the purchase
price is allocated to the net tangible and intangible assets of an acquired entity based on their fair values as of the consummation of the acquisition. The estimated useful life of acquired customer contracts ranges from 3.3 to 5.3 years and is
being amortized on a straight-line basis. The estimated useful life of acquired customer relationships is 12 years and is being amortized using the economic consumption method to reflect diminishing cash flows from these relationships in the future.
The estimated useful life of acquired technology ranges from 1 to 4 years and is being amortized on a straight-line basis.

Additionally,
at March 31, 2006 management continues to finalize a plan to exit certain activities of BGS which, upon completion of that plan, may result in additional liabilities included in the purchase price allocation.

Except for the completion of the planned exit of certain activities of BGS, the evaluation of certain identified pre-acquisition contingencies and tax
contingencies, Lionbridge had finalized the allocation of purchase price at March 31, 2006.

The preliminary allocation of the
purchase price, including direct acquisition costs, was based on the fair values of the assets and liabilities assumed as of December 31, 2005 as follows:

##### Table of Contents

At December 31, 2005, the Company reported goodwill of $96.1 million resulting from the above price
allocation. During the quarter ended March 31, 2006, the Company reversed certain estimates recorded as part on the fair value purchase accounting. The acquired incentive compensation reserve was reduced by $520,000 and deferred tax assets were
reduced by $247,000. These adjustments resulted in a net decrease in goodwill of $273,000.

Additionally, the Company continued to exit
certain activities of BGS as a part of the merger plan, resulting in charges of $1.2 million for severance, $222,000 for costs on vacated facilities and $28,000 for professional fees related to valuation services. These additional liabilities are
included in the purchase price allocation, and combined with the adjustments above, increased goodwill by $1.2 million to $97.3 million at March 31, 2006.

Except for the completion of the planned exit of certain activities of BGS, the evaluation of certain identified pre-acquisition contingencies and tax contingencies, Lionbridge has finalized the allocation of purchase
price at March 31, 2006.

The goodwill of $97.3 million resulting from the purchase price allocation reflects the value of the
underlying enterprise, as well as planned synergies that Lionbridge expects to realize as the business is integrated into existing Lionbridge operations. The total $97.3 million of goodwill has been assigned to the Companys Global Language and
Content (GLC) segment. In accordance with SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, this goodwill will not be amortized. Goodwill allocated to domestic operations is expected to be deductible for tax purposes.

Pro Forma Disclosures (Unaudited)

The following unaudited pro forma consolidated results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2005 assume that the acquisition of BGS occurred as of the beginning of that period:



|                           |  |               |        |

|Diluted net loss per share |  | $             | (0.11  | )

These pro forma amounts do not purport to be indicative of the results that would have actually
been obtained if the acquisition had occurred as of the beginning of that period presented or that may be obtained in the future.

Logoport Software GmbH

On February 1, 2005, Lionbridge acquired all of the capital stock of Logoport Software GmbH
(Logoport). Total purchase consideration included a cash payment of $750,000 made at closing and an additional $87,000 of acquisition costs. In addition, the purchase agreement provides for certain contingent payments totaling $550,000 to be made by
Lionbridge over a two-year period, dependent on the continued employment of the former owner of Logoport who, as a Lionbridge employee, will continue to develop certain acquired technology for Lionbridges internal use. The total purchase price
of $837,000 was allocated to acquired technology and is being amortized over a seven-year life. The Company has recorded no goodwill as a result of this acquisition. For the year ended December 31, 2005 and the quarter ended
March 31, 2006, according to the terms of the purchase agreement, Lionbridge made contingent payments of $305,000 and $75,000, respectively, which were capitalized as internal use software and are being amortized over a seven-year life. It is
anticipated that the future payments will also be capitalized as internal use software and amortized over a seven-year life as such amounts would be considered compensation payable to the former owner for the continued development of the
Companys internal use software.

5. DEBT

On September 1, 2005, Lionbridge replaced its revolving credit facility originally entered into in December 2004 with a credit facility with Wachovia
Bank, National Association and Wachovia Capital Markets, LLC (Wachovia Facility). Under the Wachovia Facility, Lionbridge is able to borrow up to $125.0 million governed by certain financial covenants. Borrowings outstanding under the Wachovia
Facility are collateralized by the domestic assets of the Company and its U.S. subsidiaries and stock of certain foreign subsidiaries. The Wachovia Facility is further divided into two sub-facilities, a Term Loan Facility (Term Loan) and a Revolving
Loan Facility (Revolver). The Term Loan and Revolver bear interest at prime or LIBOR (at the Companys discretion) plus an applicable margin based on certain financial covenants.

##### Table of Contents

The Term Loan had an aggregate outstanding principal amount of $92.3 million and an interest rate of 8.5%
as of March 31, 2006 and has a maturity date of June 30, 2011. The principal amount of the Term Loan is payable in installments. The total Term Loan principal payments by fiscal period are as follows:

|                         |  |   |           

Additional contingent principal payments on the Term Loan and Revolver are also due based on a
percentage of the annual cash flows (as defined in the agreement) generated by the Company. These mandatory principal payments are payable within 90-days of the Companys year-end. The percentage due is governed by certain financial covenants.
Lionbridge must maintain a certain leverage ratio at each reporting date as defined in the financial covenants of the Wachovia Facility. There are no mandatory principal payments due under these covenants at March 31, 2006. Lionbridge has an
interest payment of $2.0 million due on June 30, 2006. Future interest payments will be determined based on the interest rate and term elected by the Company. The proceeds from the Term Loan were used exclusively to fund the purchase of BGS,
and were paid to Bowne and Co., Inc.

The Revolver had no outstanding borrowings as of March 31, 2006 and has a maturity date of
September 1, 2010. At March 31, 2006, Lionbridges borrowing capacity was $25.0 million and the Company would have elected an interest rate of 8.3% based on a 1-month LIBOR loan as of March 31, 2006 under the Revolver. Interest
is payable in arrears to a maximum of three-month increments depending on the terms under which the Revolver loans are made.

6. COMPREHENSIVE LOSS

Total comprehensive loss consists of net loss and the net change in foreign currency translation adjustment, which is the only
component of accumulated other comprehensive income. Total comprehensive loss was $313,000 and $620,000 for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

7. NET LOSS PER SHARE

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net 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, unvested restricted stock and warrants, as determined using the treasury stock method.

##### Table of Contents

The tax provision for the three-month period ended March 31, 2006 consisted primarily of taxes on
income in foreign jurisdictions of Lionbridge and BGS and the increase to deferred tax liabilities related to the tax deductible goodwill from the BGS acquisition. The tax provision for the three-month period ended March 31, 2005 does not
reflect any taxes related to the BGS business that Lionbridge acquired on September 1, 2005.

Lionbridge is still evaluating certain
purchase accounting adjustments and reserves specific to the acquisition of BGS which may have an impact on the deferred tax assets and liabilities of the Company.

At March 31, 2006, no provision for U.S. and foreign withholding taxes has been made for all unrepatriated foreign earnings because it is expected that such earnings will be reinvested indefinitely or the distribution
of any remaining amount would be principally offset by foreign tax credits.

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.

10. SEGMENT INFORMATION

Lionbridge has determined that its operating
segments are those that are based on its method of internal reporting, which separately presents its business based on the services performed. Lionbridge has combined those segments, which meet the aggregation criteria of SFAS No. 131 in
determining its reportable segments. Following its acquisition of the BGS business in September 2005 and related changes to the Companys overall business structure, the Company has revised the business segments it uses to report financial
performance. Effective January 1, 2006, the Company is reporting its results among the following three business segments:

Global
Language and Content (GLC)  This segment covers Lionbridges globalization, translation and localization services, as well as eLearning content development and technical documentation. The Global Language and Content segment
includes product and content globalization services. Globalization is the process of adapting content and products to meet the language and cultural requirements of users throughout the world. Lionbridge GLC solutions enable the translation,
adaptation and worldwide multilingual release of clients products, content and related technical support, training materials, and sales and marketing information. Lionbridge GLC solutions also include the development of eLearning
content and technical documentation.

Global Development and Testing (GDT)  This segment covers Lionbridges
development, engineering and testing services for software, hardware, websites and content. Specifically, GDT includes the development and maintenance of applications as well as testing to ensure the quality, interoperability, usability and
performance of clients software, hardware, consumer technology products, web sites and content. Testing also includes product certification and competitive analysis. Lionbridge offers its testing services under the VeriTest brand.

Interpretation (Interpretation)  This segment covers interpretation services provided by Lionbridge to government organizations and
businesses that require human interpreters.

The acquired BGS localization business is primarily reflected in Lionbridges GLC segment
with the BGS language interpretation business, (Interpretation), included separately. All other unallocated enterprise costs are in the Corporate and Other category.

The table below presents information about the reported net income loss of the Company for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2006 and 2005.
Asset information by reportable segment is not reported, since the Company does not produce such information internally.

12. 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. The Company understands that various plaintiffs have filed approximately 1,000 lawsuits making substantially
similar allegations against approximately 300 other publicly-traded companies in connection with the underwriting of their public offerings. 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 ultimately approved by the Court, this proposed settlement would result in the dismissal, with prejudice, of all claims in the litigation against Lionbridge and against any other of the issuer defendants who elect to participate
in the proposed settlement, together with the current or former officers and directors of participating issuers who were named as individual defendants. The proposed settlement does not provide for the resolution of any claims against underwriter
defendants, and the litigation as against those defendants is continuing. The proposed settlement provides that the class members in the class action cases brought against the participating issuer defendants will be guaranteed a recovery of $1
billion by insurers of the participating issuer defendants. If recoveries totaling $1 billion or more are obtained by the class members from the underwriter defendants, however, the monetary obligations to the class members under the proposed
settlement will be satisfied.

The proposed settlement contemplates that any amounts necessary to fund the settlement or settlement-related
expenses would come from participating issuers directors and officers liability insurance policy proceeds, as opposed to funds of the participating issuer defendants themselves. A participating issuer defendant could be required to
contribute to the costs of the settlement if that issuers insurance coverage were insufficient to pay that issuers allocable share of the settlement costs. Lionbridge expects that its insurance proceeds will be sufficient for these
purposes and that it will not otherwise be required to contribute to the proposed settlement.

Consummation of the proposed settlement is
conditioned upon obtaining approval by the Court. On September 1, 2005, the Court preliminarily approved the proposed settlement and directed that notice of the terms of the proposed settlement be provided to all class members. Thereafter, the
Court held a fairness hearing on April 24, 2006, at which objections to the proposed settlement were heard. After the fairness hearing, the Court took under advisement whether to grant final approval to the proposed settlement. If the proposed
settlement described above is not consummated, Lionbridge intends to continue to defend the litigation vigorously. Moreover, if the proposed settlement is not consummated, the Company believes that the underwriters may have an obligation to
indemnify Lionbridge for the legal fees and other costs of defending this suit. 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.

The California Employment Development Department is investigating
the classification by Lionbridge Global Solutions II, Inc. of certain of its interpreters as independent contractors for the period from October 1, 2001 through December 31, 2004. On January 28, 2005, the Employment Development
Department issued a Notice of Assessment determining such interpreters to be common law employees and assessing personal income taxes in the amount of $20,824 and state disability insurance taxes in the amount of $8,213 for the fourth
quarter of 2001. The maximum estimated exposure for open quarters through March 31, 2006 is $1,610,505. Of this amount, Bowne & Co., Inc., under the terms of the merger agreement between it and the Company dated as of June 27,
2005, is obligated to indemnify the Company for such taxes and penalties incurred for periods on or prior to September 1, 2005, which are estimated to be $1,445,505. On February 14, 2005, Lionbridge Global Solutions II, Inc. appealed for
reassessment to the Office of the Chief Administrative Law Judge of the California Unemployment Insurance Appeals Board. The Company has estimated its exposure for the period commencing on September 1, 2005 through March 31, 2006 at
approximately $165,000. The Company has appealed the decision before the California Appeals Board and is awaiting notification of a hearing date. While Lionbridge cannot guarantee the outcome of these proceedings, it believes that a final
determination will have no material effect on its consolidated financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.

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

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, 2006 (SEC File No. 000-26933) and subsequent filings as well as risks and uncertainties discussed elsewhere in this Form 10-Q, including in Risk Factors, could cause Lionbridges actual results to differ materially
from those in the forward-looking statements. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those anticipated, estimated or projected. The
forward-looking statements in this Form 10-Q are made as of the date of this filing only, and Lionbridge does not undertake to update or supplement these statements due to changes in circumstances or otherwise.

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. Following
its acquisition of the BGS business in September 2005 and related changes to the Companys overall business structure, the Company has revised the business segments it uses to report financial performance and now uses the following three
segments: Global Language and Content (GLC), Global Development and Testing (GDT) and Interpretation.

Lionbridge
Global Language and Content (GLC) solutions enable the translation, adaptation and worldwide multilingual release of clients products, content and related technical support, training materials, and sales and marketing
information. Globalization is the process of adapting content and products to meet the language and cultural requirements of users throughout the world. Lionbridge GLC solutions are based on the Companys internet technology platform and global
service delivery model which make the translation process more efficient for Lionbridge clients and translators. As part of its GLC solutions, Lionbridge also develops eLearning content and technical documentation. Lionbridges
interpretation business (Interpretation) pertains to the Companys interpretation services for government organizations and businesses that require human interpreters for non-English speaking individuals.

Through its Global Development and Testing (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 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 provides a full suite of globalization, testing and development outsourcing services to businesses, particularly in the technology, consumer
products, life sciences, publishing, financial services, manufacturing, government automotive and retail industries. Lionbridges solutions include product and content globalization; content and eLearning courseware development; application
development and maintenance; software and hardware testing; 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.

On September 1, 2005,
Lionbridge completed the acquisition of BGS pursuant to the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of June 27, 2005. After the acquisition, BGS became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Lionbridge. At the closing, each share of common
stock of BGS was automatically converted into the right to receive a portion of the acquisition consideration. To fund a portion of the purchase price for its acquisition of BGS, the Company entered into a Credit Agreement (Credit Agreement) dated
as of September 1, 2005, together with certain of its U.S. and non-U.S. subsidiaries, the several banks and financial institutions as may become parties to the Credit Agreement (Lenders) and Wachovia Bank, National Association, as
administrative agent for the Lenders. The Credit Agreement provides for a five-year $25.0 million revolving credit facility and a six-year $100.0 million term facility.

The BGS acquisition was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. The total purchase price was $188.4 million, consisting of a cash payment of $128.5 million made at the closing, 9.4 million shares
of Lionbridges common stock with a fair market value of $56.5 million, and an additional $3.4 million of direct acquisition costs. The market price used to value the Lionbridge shares issued as partial consideration for BGS was $6.01, which
represents the 5 day average closing price of the stock during the period beginning two days before and ending two days after June 28, 2005, the first trading day of the Companys common stock following announcement of the acquisition on
June 27, 2005. Lionbridge borrowed $2.5 million under the revolving credit facility component of the Credit Agreement and $97.7 million (net of $2.3 million of debt financing fees) under the term facility component of the Credit Agreement,
which amounts were used to pay a portion of the cash consideration at the closing.

For the three-month period ended March 31, 2006,
Lionbridges income from operations was $2.6 million, with a net loss of $1.0 million. For the year ended December 31, 2005, the Companys income from operations was $1.3 million with a net loss of $3.9 million. As of March 31,
2006, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $103.8 million.

Revenue Recognition

Lionbridge recognizes revenue as services are performed and amounts are earned in accordance with the Securities and Exchange Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 101, Revenue Recognition in Financial
Statements, as amended by SAB No. 104, Revenue Recognition. 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s revenue is recorded from the provision of services to customers for
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 may be recognized on a proportional performance model
based on level of effort, as milestones are achieved or when final deliverables have been met. Amounts billed in excess of revenue recognized are recorded as deferred revenue.

The delivery of Lionbridges product and content globalization services involve, and is dependent on, the translation of content by subcontractors
and in-house employees. As the time and cost to translate 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 product and content
globalization 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 Globalization and Testing services. Such offerings may include the delivery of a combination of one or more of our service offerings in one
arrangement and are governed by the Emerging Issues Task Force Issue 00-21, Accounting for Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables. In these arrangements where the Globalization or Testing services have standalone value to the
customer, and we have evidence of fair value for the services, we bifurcate the total arrangement into two units of accounting In instances where we are unable to bifurcate a project, direct and incremental costs are deferred and recognized together
with the service revenue upon delivery. The determination of fair value requires us to use significant judgment. Lionbridge determines the fair value of service revenues based upon our 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.

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. Factors that Lionbridge considers important which could trigger an impairment review include: significant underperformance relative to expected historical or projected future operating results; significant changes in the
overall business strategy; and significant negative industry or economic trends. When Lionbridge determines that the carrying value of intangibles and goodwill may not be recoverable based upon one or

more of these indicators of impairment, the Company measures any impairment using projected discounted cash flow models. In addition in accordance with SFAS
No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, goodwill is reviewed for impairment on an annual basis. At December 31, 2005, the Company performed its annual test of goodwill to determine if there was an impairment. 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 required to be recorded related to
the Companys annual impairment testing. Estimating future cash flows requires management to make projections that can differ materially from actual results.

Merger, Restructuring and Other Charges

During the three-month period ended March 31, 2006
Lionbridge recorded $767,000 of restructuring and other charges. The $767,000 recorded in the three-month period ended March 31, 2006 included $280,000 for workforce reductions in the Netherlands and Ireland, consisting of five technical and
one administrative staff, a $68,000 reduction of anticipated costs recorded in a prior period on a vacated facility in order to factor in a sublease arrangement, recorded pursuant to the guidance in SFAS No. 146, Accounting for Costs
associated with Exit or Disposal Activitiesand $555,000 of other charges, principally professional services fees, related to the integration of BGS. Of these charges, $338,000 related to the Companys GLC segment, $29,000 to the GDT
segment and $400,000 related to Corporate and Other. Of the $1.7 million of cash payments in the three-month period ended March 31, 2006, $1.6 million and $53,000 related to the GLC and GDT segments, respectively, and $12,000 related to
Corporate and Other.

During the three-month period ended March 31, 2005, Lionbridge recorded $449,000 of restructuring charges for
workforce reductions in France and the U.S., consisting of thirty-one technical and two sales staff. Of this amount, $382,000 relates to the Companys GLC segment and $67,000 to the GDT segment. Of the $696,000 of cash payments during the
three-month period ended March 31, 2005, $487,000 and $193,000 related to the GLC and GDT segments, respectively, and $16,000 related to Corporate and Other.

Adoption of SFAS 123R, Share-Based Payment

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 generally administered by the
Nominating and Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors, consisting of non-employee directors.

Effective January 1, 2006, the
Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment, (SFAS 123R), utilizing the modified prospective method whereby prior periods will not be restated for
comparability. SFAS 123R requires recognition of stock-based compensation expense in the statement of operations over the vesting period based on the fair value of the award at the grant date. Previously, the Company used the intrinsic value method
under Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees (APB 25), as amended by related interpretations of the FASB.

Under APB 25, no compensation cost was recognized for stock options because the quoted market price of the stock at the grant date was equal to the
amount per share the employee had to pay to acquire the stock after fulfilling the vesting period. SFAS 123R supersedes APB 25 as well as Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 123 Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,
(SFAS 123), which permitted pro forma footnote disclosures to report the difference between the fair value method and the intrinsic value method.

The Company recognized expense for restricted stock grants under the previous guidance, thus the impact from adopting SFAS 123R pertains to its requirement to expense stock options. In the three months ended
March 31, 2006, the Company expensed $748,000 for stock options, principally classified in sales and marketing and general and administrative expense, in the statement of operations. As a result of the adoption of SFAS 123R and the resulting
expense of $748,000 during the quarter ended March 31, 2006, the Company also experienced an after tax impact of the expense related to stock options on its earnings per share during the quarter of one cent. The Company has reclassified
$316,000 of stock-based compensation recognized under APB 25 in the three month period ended March 31, 2005 from the previously reported stock-based compensation line item into the operating expense line items to conform to the
current period presentation.

Valuation Assumptions for Stock Options

For the quarters ended March 31, 2006 and 2005, 879,000 and 561,000 stock options were granted, respectively. There were no shares issued under the
employee stock purchase plan in the three months ended March 31, 2006, and no expense was recorded. The fair value of each option was estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions:



|                        |  |                              |   |  |      |  
|----------------------- |  | ---------------------------- | - |  | ---- | -
|                        |  | Three Months Ended March 31, |  
|                        |  | 2006                         |   |  | 2005 |  
|Risk-free interest rate |  | 4.49                         | % |  | 3.80 | %
|Expected volatility     |  | 50.8                         | % |  | 84.0 | %
|Expected life (years)   |  | 3.3                          |   |  | 4.0  |  
|Dividend yield          |  | 0                            | % |  | 0    | %

Expected volatilities are based on historical volatilities of our common stock; the expected life
represents the weighted average period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding giving consideration to vesting schedules and our historical exercise patterns; and the risk-free rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in
effect at the time of grant for periods corresponding with the expected life of the option. In accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) 107, the Company estimated the expected volatility of its stock options, taking into account a combination
of both historical and implied volatility. The expected volatility was determined by averaging the historical volatilities of its common stock, from August 2003, the date of the Companys follow-on offering, which resulted in a material change
to the Companys shareholder base as well as a change in behavior of our stock in the marketplace with our implied volatility rate, based on the volatility of Lionbridges traded options with terms exceeding six months. This analysis
resulted in an expected volatility rate of 50.8%.

##### Table of Contents

Revenue for the quarter ended March 31, 2006 was $99.1 million, an increase of $60.3 million, or
more than 155%, from $38.8 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2005. Of the $60.3 million increase, approximately $58.9 million was attributable to Lionbridges acquisition of BGS, and approximately $1.4 million, or 3.6%, was due to
organic revenue growth. The increase consists of $54.2 million and $352,000 of revenue growth in Global Language and Content and Global Development and Testing, respectively. Interpretation revenue, acquired with the BGS acquisition, was $5.7
million for the three months ended March 31, 2006.

Revenue from the Companys Global Language and Content business for the
quarter ended March 31, 2006 increased $54.2 million, or approximately 218%, to $79.1 million from $24.9 million the quarter ended March 31, 2005, primarily due to approximately $53.2 million of revenue attributable to Lionbridges
acquisition of BGS, and approximately $1.0 million, or 4.0%, due to organic revenue growth as compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2005.

Revenue from the Companys Global Development and Testing business was $14.3 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2006, an increase of $352,000, or 2.5%, from $13.9 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2005. The year-on-year
increase in GDT revenue was primarily due to increased revenue from the Companys lower cost development centers located in India and China, partially offset by a reduction in testing revenues from the Companys higher cost development
centers located in the United States and Europe, as compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2005. Over the last year, several testing projects have moved from execution at the Companys U.S. and Europe based testing laboratories to its testing
laboratories located in lower cost areas, including India and China. This migration of testing services to lower cost testing centers has, in some cases, decreased overall top line revenue for the same testing projects but benefited GDT gross margin
compared to a year ago.

Cost of Revenue. Cost of revenue, excluding depreciation and amortization, consists primarily of expenses
incurred for translation services provided by third parties as well as salaries and associated employee benefits for personnel related to client projects. The following table shows GLC, GDT and Interpretation cost of revenues, the percentage
variance from the three month period of the prior year and as a percentage of revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively:

For the quarter ended March 31, 2006, as a percentage of revenue, cost of revenue decreased
to 65.5% as compared to 67.2% for the same quarter of 2005. For the quarter ended March 31, 2006, cost of revenue increased $38.8 million, or 149.0%, to $64.8 million compared to $26.0 million for the same quarter of the prior year. The $38.8
million increase in cost consists of approximately $39.5 million in support of $58.9 million incremental revenue attributable to Lionbridges acquisition of BGS, partially offset by a decrease in cost of revenue in the original Lionbridge
operations, as compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2005. Additionally, cost of revenue for the quarter ended March 31, 2006 includes $37,000 of additional stock-based compensation expense associated with the adoption of SFAS 123R on
January 1, 2006, as compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2005.

Cost of revenue as a percentage of revenue in the
Companys Global Language and Content business decreased to 64.6% for the quarter ended March 31, 2006, as compared to 69.0% for the same period of the prior year. This decrease reflects lower costs for translation services, mainly due to
the benefit realized from the deployment and use of Logoport, Lionbridges language management technology platform, and lower internal operating costs. The decrease in the internal cost reflects the cost saving benefits of certain merger
restructuring and cost reduction actions initiated in 2005. Additionally, the GLC cost ratio improvement reflects the advantage of lower cost, resulting from the transfer of a higher percentage of service production to the Companys offshore
delivery centers in India and China. For the quarter ended March 31, 2006, GLC cost of revenue increased $33.9 million, or 197.6%, to $51.1 million as compared to $17.2 million for the corresponding quarter of the prior year. The $33.9 million
increase in cost consists of approximately $34.8 million in support of $53.2 million incremental revenue attributable to Lionbridges acquisition of BGS, partially offset by a $900,000 decrease in cost of revenue in the original Lionbridge GLC
operations, as compared the quarter ended March 31, 2005. This decrease is primarily due to the benefits noted above.

##### Table of Contents

Cost of revenue as a percentage of revenue in the Companys Global Development and Testing decreased
slightly to 63.4% for the quarter ended March 31, 2006, as compared to the corresponding quarter of the prior year. This decrease reflects the favorable impact of cost savings resulting from continuing restructuring activities, partially offset
by certain transition costs incurred as the Company shifts service production to its offshore delivery centers in India and China. For the quarter ended March 31, 2006, GDT cost of revenue increased $190,000 or 2.1 %, to $9.1 million as
compared to $8.9 million for the corresponding quarter of the prior year. This increase was primarily in support of a $352,000 increase in revenue year-over-year, the factors noted above, and work mix and scope variations in services provided as
compared to the prior year.

Sales and Marketing.Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of salaries, commissions and
associated employee benefits, travel expenses of sales and marketing personnel, promotional expenses, sales force automation/CRM system expense, training, and the costs of programs aimed at increasing revenue, such as advertising, trade shows,
public relations and other market development programs. The following table shows sales and marketing expenses in dollars, the dollar variance as compared to the prior year period and as a percentage of revenue for the three months ended
March 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively:

For the quarter ended March 31, 2006, sales and marketing expenses increased $4.2 million to
$8.0 million from $3.9 million in the corresponding quarter of 2005. This increase is primarily due to expense attributable to Lionbridges acquisition of BGS, including a major upgrade and deployment of a sales force automation and customer
relationship management system and training expenses, with the remainder the result of higher employee-related expenses and travel costs in the sales organization to support the remaining increase in revenue. As part of the integration and merger,
sales and marketing departments were combined and restructured. Additionally new employees and compensation plans have been added. These employees sell and place work in all locations, as a result, the exact increase in cost attributable to the BGS
acquisition is indeterminable. Additionally, sales and marketing expenses for the quarter ended March 31, 2006 includes $209,000 of additional stock-based compensation expense associated with the adoption of SFAS 123R on January 1, 2006 as
compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2005.

As a percentage of revenue, sales and marketing expenses decreased to 8.1% in the
quarter ended March 31, 2006 from 10.0% in the corresponding period in 2005, reflecting the benefit of the merged and restructured sales and marketing organization, and the increased revenue levels from period to period.

General and Administrative. General and administrative expenses consist of salaries of the management, purchasing, process and technology, finance
and administrative groups, and associated employee benefits and travel; facilities costs; information systems costs; professional fees; business reconfiguration costs and all other site and corporate costs. The following table shows general and
administrative expenses in dollars, the dollar variance as compared to the prior year period and as a percentage of revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively:

General and administrative expenses increased $10.5 million, or 131.8%, to $18.5 million for the
quarter ended March 31, 2006 as compared to $8.0 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2005. This increase is primarily due to the expenses attributable to Lionbridges integration of BGS, with the remainder the result of higher
employee, professional fees and certain other costs incurred in connection with the acquisition of BGS, as compared to the corresponding period of the prior year. As part of the integration, merger and restructuring, the responsibilities of many

employees were changed, certain employees were terminated and others hired. Additionally, certain facilities were combined and operating expenses adjusted in
order to accommodate the combined Company as compared to two separate entities. These employees, facilities and expenses support the combined Companys operations and, as a result, the exact increase in cost attributable to the BGS acquisition,
is indeterminable. Additionally, general and administrative expense for the quarter ended March 31, 2006 includes $721,000 of additional stock- based compensation expense associated with the adoption of SFAS 123R on January 1, 2006 as
compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2005.

As a percentage of revenue, general and administrative expenses decreased to 18.6% for
the quarter ended March 31, 2006 as compared to 20.5% for the same period of the prior year due primarily to the items noted above, as well as the impact of the increase in revenue from period to period.

Research and Development. Research and development expenses relate primarily to the Companys Logoport and Freeway technologies
used in the globalization process and the research and development of a globalization management system. 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 variance as compared to the prior year and as a percentage of revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively:

Research and development expense increased 416.0% to $743,000 for the quarter ended March 31,
2006 as compared to $144,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2005. This increase is primarily attributable to research and development costs incurred in development of a web-based hosted language management technology platform and, to a lesser
degree, attributable to additional research and development activities acquired from BGS.

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 variance as compared to the prior year and as a percentage of revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively:



|                                            |  |                             |           |   |      |   |         |

|Total depreciation and amortization expense |  | $                           | 1,492,000 |   |      | $ | 659,000 |  
|Increase from prior year                    |  |                             | 833,000   |   |      |   |         |  
|Percentage of revenue                       |  |                             | 1.5       | % |      |   | 1.7     | %

Depreciation and amortization expense increased 126.4% to $1.5 million for the quarter ended
March 31, 2006 as compared to $659,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2005. The increase is primarily the result of $953,000 of incremental depreciation and amortization expense attributable to Lionbridges acquisition of BGS, being
partially and fully offset, respectively, due to the culmination of depreciable lives of certain assets acquired in prior years.

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 March 31, 2006 and 2005 was $2.2 million and $9,000, respectively. The increase is the result of the amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets attributable to the acquisition of BGS.

Interest Expense, Net. Interest expense represents interest paid or payable on debt, the amortization of deferred financing costs and the
accretion of discounts on debt. Interest expense of $2.1 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2006 primarily represents interest paid or payable on debt and the amortization of deferred financing costs on the original $100.0 million
term facility entered into by the Company in the third quarter of 2005 to fund a portion of the purchase price for its acquisition of BGS. There was no outstanding debt as of March 31, 2005.

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 $360,000 in other expense, net in the quarter ended March 31, 2006, as compared to
$62,000 in other expense, net in the corresponding quarter of the prior year. These increases were

primarily attributable to the larger (due to the BGS acquisition) net position of U.S. dollar, Euro, and Yen and denominated assets and liabilities, combined
with the net variance of the Euro, Yen and other currencies against the U.S. dollar in the three month period ended March 31, 2006, as compared to the net position and variance during the corresponding period of the prior year.

Provision for Income Taxes. The following table shows the provision for income taxes expense in dollars, the dollar variance as compared to
the prior year and as a percentage of revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively:



|                                 |  |                             |           |   |      |   |        |

The provision for income taxes consists primarily of taxes resulting from profits in foreign
jurisdictions and the increase in deferred tax liabilities related to the tax deductible goodwill from the BGS acquisition. The tax provision increased $1.3 million to $1.3 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2006 from $15,000 in the
corresponding quarter of the prior year. The increase is primarily attributable to the inclusion of the BGS operations in the quarter ended March 31, 2006 as compared to the corresponding quarter of the prior year. Additionally, the combination
of a mix of countries that profits were earned in the first quarter of 2005 and the tax rates in those countries resulted in minimal taxes for the quarter ended March 31, 2005.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

On September 1, 2005, Lionbridge replaced its revolving credit
facility originally entered into in December 2004 with a credit facility with Wachovia Bank, National Association and Wachovia Capital Markets, LLC (Wachovia Facility). Under the Wachovia Facility, Lionbridge is able to borrow up to $125.0 million
governed by certain financial covenants. Borrowings outstanding under the Wachovia Facility are collateralized by the domestic assets of the Company and its U.S. subsidiaries and stock of certain foreign subsidiaries. The Wachovia Facility is
further divided into two sub-facilities, a Term Loan Facility (Term Loan) and a Revolving Loan Facility (Revolver). The Term Loan and Revolver bear interest at prime or LIBOR (at the Companys discretion) plus an applicable margin based on
certain financial covenants.

The Term Loan had an aggregate outstanding principal amount of $92.3 million and an interest rate of 8.5% as
of March 31, 2006 and has a maturity date of June 30, 2011. The principal amount of the Term Loan is payable in installments. The total Term Loan principal payments by fiscal period are as follows:

|Thereafter               |  |   | 66,071,430
|                         |  |   |

|                         |  |   |           

Additional contingent principal payments on the Term Loan and Revolver are also due based on a
percentage of the annual cash flows (as defined in the agreement) generated by the Company. These mandatory principal payments are payable within 90-days of the Companys year-end. The percentage due is governed by certain financial covenants.
Lionbridge must maintain a certain leverage ratio at each reporting date as defined in the financial covenants of the Wachovia Facility. There are no mandatory principal payments due under these covenants at March 31, 2006. Lionbridge has an
interest payment of $2.0 million due on June 30, 2006. Future interest payments will be determined based on the interest rate and term elected by the Company. The proceeds from the Term Loan were used exclusively to fund the purchase of BGS,
and were paid to Bowne and Co., Inc.

The Revolver had no outstanding borrowings as of March 31, 2006 and has a maturity date of
September 1, 2010. At March 31, 2006, Lionbridges borrowing capacity was $25.0 million and the Company would have elected an interest rate of 8.3% based on a 1-month LIBOR loan as of March 31, 2006 under the Revolver. Interest
is payable in arrears to a maximum of three-month increments depending on the terms under which the Revolver loans are made.

##### Table of Contents

The following table shows cash and cash equivalents and working capital at March 31, 2006 and at
December 31, 2005:



|                          |  |                |            |                   |   |           
|------------------------- |  | -------------- | ---------- | ----------------- | - | ----------
|                          |  | March 31, 2006 |            | December 31, 2005
|Cash and cash equivalents |  | $              | 23,700,000 |                   | $ | 25,147,000
|Working capital           |  |                | 58,929,000 |                   |   | 57,182,000

Lionbridges working capital increased $1.7 million to $58.9 million at March 31, 2006
as compared to $57.2 million at December 31, 2005. The increase was driven by the growth of the business during the quarter ended March 31, 2006. As of March 31, 2006, cash and cash equivalents totaled $23.7 million, a decrease of
$1.4 million from $25.1 million at December 31, 2005, primarily due to the use of $1.1 million of cash in operating activities of the business, during the quarter ended March 31, 2006. Accounts receivable and work in process totaled $95.6
million, an increase of $1.8 million as compared to $93.8 million at December 31, 2005. Other current assets increased slightly to $8.0 million as compared to $7.4 million at December 31, 2005. Current liabilities totaled $68.4 million at
March 31, 2006, a decrease of $834,000 as compared to $69.2 million at December 31, 2005.

The following table shows the net cash
used in operating activities, net cash used in investing activities, and net cash provided by financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively:



|                                          |  |                              |            |   |      |   |            |  
|----------------------------------------- |  | ---------------------------- | ---------- | - | ---- | - | ---------- | -
|                                          |  | Three Months Ended March 31, |           
|                                          |  | 2006                         |            |   | 2005 |  
|Net cash used in operating activities     |  | $                            | (1,079,000 | ) |      | $ | (4,369,000 | )
|Net cash used in investing activities     |  |                              | (835,000   | ) |      |   | (8,367,000 | )
|Net cash provided by financing activities |  |                              | 355,000    |   |      |   | 93,000     |  

Net cash used in operating activities was $1.1 million for the three months ended March 31,
2006, as compared to $4.4 million for the corresponding period of the prior year. The $1.1 million use of cash was due to the net loss of $1.0 million (inclusive of $5.3 million in depreciation, amortization, stock based compensation and other
non-cash expenses), a $4.9 million increase in work-in-process and other operating assets, a $5.8 million reduction in accrued expenses, a $1.6 million decrease in deferred revenue, partially offset by a $2.8 million decrease in accounts receivable,
and a $4.1 million increase in accounts payable. In the quarter ended March 31, 2005, the primary use of cash was due to the net loss of $217,000 (inclusive of $1.2 million in depreciation, amortization and other non-cash expenses), and a $6.5
million increase in accounts receivable, work in process, other current assets and other assets, partially offset by a net $1.3 million increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses and a $183,000 decrease in deferred revenue.

Lionbridge has not experienced any significant trends in accounts receivable and work in process other than changes relative to the change in revenue, as
previously noted, and the impact of the BGS acquisition. 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 decreased $7.5 million to $835,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2006, from $8.4 million for the
corresponding quarter of the prior year. The primary investing activity in the three months ended March 31, 2006 was $847,000, for the purchase of equipment. Net cash used by investing activities in the three-month period ended March 31,
2005 consisted of the purchase of $32.2 million of short-term investments, $837,000 for the acquisition of Logoport and $530,000 for the purchase of equipment. Net cash provided by investing activities in the three-month period ended March 31,
2005 came from the sale of $25.2 million of short-term investments.

Net cash provided by financing activities increased $262,000 to
$355,000 in the three months ended March 31, 2006 as compared to $93,000 for the corresponding period of 2005. Net cash provided by financing activities for both three-month periods consisted of the proceeds from the issuance of common stock
under option and employee stock purchase plans, partially offset by payments of capital lease obligations, and the payment of short-term debt in the three month period ended March 31 2006.

Lionbridges future financing requirements will depend upon a number of factors, including its operating performance and increases in operating
expenses associated with growth in its business, and the success of the merger with BGS. Lionbridge anticipates that its present cash position and available financing should provide adequate cash to fund its currently anticipated cash needs for the
next twelve months and foreseeable future.

##### Table of Contents

On February 10, 2005, 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. 333-122698), covering the registration of common stock (the Securities), in an aggregate amount of $130.0 million, which was declared
effective by the Commission on February 23, 2005. These Securities may be offered from time to time in amounts, at prices and on terms to be determined at the time of sale. The Company believes the shelf registration provides 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, available
financing and access to capital markets should provide adequate cash to fund its currently anticipated cash needs for the next twelve months and foreseeable future.

Contractual Obligations

As of March 31, 2006, there are 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, 2005.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

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

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. Lionbridge does not currently manage its risk to changes in interest rates. The Company does
address its risk to foreign currency exchange fluctuation through a risk management program that includes the use of derivative financial instruments. Lionbridge operates that program 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 and were immaterial for all periods
presented.

Interest Rate Risk. Lionbridge is exposed to market risk from changes in interest rates with respect to its term
loan facility and revolving loan facility which bear interest at Prime or LIBOR (at the Companys discretion) plus an applicable margin based on certain financial covenants. As of March 31, 2006, $92.3 million was outstanding under the
term loan facility and there was no outstanding balance on the revolving loan facility. A hypothetical 10% increase or decrease in interest rates would have a $775,000 impact on the Companys interest expense based on the $92.3 million
outstanding on the term loan at March 31, 2006 with an interest rate of 8.5%. Additionally, Lionbridge is exposed to market risk through its investing activities. The Companys portfolio consists primarily of investments in high quality
commercial bank money market accounts. 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, 59% and 44% of its costs and expenses for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively, were denominated in foreign currencies. In addition, 18% of
the Companys assets were subject to foreign currency exchange fluctuations as of March 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005, while 22% and 23% of its liabilities were subject to foreign currency exchange fluctuations as of March 31,
2006 and December 31, 2005, respectively. The principal foreign currencies applicable to our business are the Euro, the Yen and the Indian Rupee. In addition, Lionbridge has assets and liabilities denominated in U.S. dollars in foreign
countries. As a result, Lionbridge is exposed to foreign currency exchange fluctuations. The Company does manage its risk to changes in foreign currency exchange rates through a risk management program that includes the use of derivative financial
instruments. There were no derivative instruments outstanding at March 31, 2006.

Item 4.Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and
Procedures. Lionbridge maintains disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure 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. 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 are effective as of March 31, 2006.

Changes in internal control over financial reporting. There were no
changes in the Companys internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2006 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Companys internal control over
financial reporting.

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. The Company
understands that various plaintiffs have filed approximately 1,000 lawsuits making substantially similar allegations against approximately 300 other publicly-traded companies in connection with the underwriting of their public offerings. 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 ultimately approved by the Court, this proposed settlement would result in the dismissal, with prejudice, of all claims in the litigation against Lionbridge and against any other of the
issuer defendants who elect to participate in the proposed settlement, together with the current or former officers and directors of participating issuers who were named as individual defendants. The proposed settlement does not provide for the
resolution of any claims against underwriter defendants, and the litigation as against those defendants is continuing. The proposed settlement provides that the class members in the class action cases brought against the participating issuer
defendants will be guaranteed a recovery of $1 billion by insurers of the participating issuer defendants. If recoveries totaling $1 billion or more are obtained by the class members from the underwriter defendants, however, the monetary obligations
to the class members under the proposed settlement will be satisfied.

The proposed settlement contemplates that any amounts necessary to
fund the settlement or settlement-related expenses would come from participating issuers directors and officers liability insurance policy proceeds, as opposed to funds of the participating issuer defendants themselves. A participating
issuer defendant could be required to contribute to the costs of the settlement if that issuers insurance coverage were insufficient to pay that issuers allocable share of the settlement costs. Lionbridge expects that its insurance
proceeds will be sufficient for these purposes and that it will not otherwise be required to contribute to the proposed settlement.

Consummation of the proposed settlement is conditioned upon obtaining approval by the Court. On September 1, 2005, the Court preliminarily approved the proposed settlement and directed that notice of the terms of the proposed
settlement be provided to all class members. Thereafter, the Court held a fairness hearing on April 24, 2006, at which objections to the proposed settlement were heard. After, the Court took under advisement whether to grant final approval to
the proposed settlement. If the proposed settlement described above is not consummated, Lionbridge intends to continue to defend the litigation vigorously. Moreover, if the proposed settlement is not consummated, the Company believes that the
underwriters may have an obligation to indemnify Lionbridge for the legal fees and other costs of defending this suit. 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.

The California Employment
Development Department is investigating the classification by Lionbridge Global Solutions II, Inc. of certain of its interpreters as independent contractors for the period from October 1, 2001 through December 31, 2004. On January 28,
2005, the Employment Development Department issued a Notice of Assessment determining such interpreters to be common law employees and assessing personal income taxes in the amount of $20,824 and state disability insurance taxes in the
amount of $8,213 for the fourth quarter of 2001. The maximum estimated exposure for open quarters through March 31, 2006 is $1,610,505. Of this amount, Bowne & Co., Inc., under the terms of

##### Table of Contents

the merger agreement between it and the Company dated as of June 27, 2005, is obligated to indemnify the Company for such taxes, penalties and interest
incurred for periods on or prior to September 1, 2005, which are estimated to be $1,445,505. On February 14, 2005, Lionbridge Global Solutions II, Inc. appealed for reassessment to the Office of the Chief Administrative Law Judge of the
California Unemployment Insurance Appeals Board. The Company has estimated its exposure for the period commencing on September 1, 2005 through March 31, 2006 at approximately $165,000 and has recorded a reserve for this amount at
March 31, 2006. The Company has appealed the decision before the California Appeals Board and is awaiting notification of a hearing date. While Lionbridge cannot guarantee the outcome of these proceedings, it believes that a final determination
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 captions Factors That May Affect Future Results in Lionbridges Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed March 16, 2006 (SEC File No. 000-26933)
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. In addition to those statements set forth
in the Form 10-K, Lionbridge sets forth the following additional risks and uncertainties related to its business.

Lionbridges
ability to forecast may be impacted by acquisition related adjustments and the impact of FAS 123R.

The Companys ability to
accurately forecast the acquisition related restructuring costs and allocation of the purchase price, goodwill and other intangibles acquisition related and other asset adjustments, as well as the impact of equity based compensation expense
associated with FAS 123R.

Lionbridges ability to recognize the benefits of its Freeway language technology may be impacted by the
speed of customer adoption, changing customer demands and technological changes.

In April 2006, the Company announced its new online
service delivery platform known as Freeway . The Companys ability to realize the expected benefits of Freeway is dependent on the timing and speed of customer and user acceptance of Freeway, customer delays or postponements of services
using Freeway, the failure of Freeway to keep pace with technological changes or changing customer needs, Lionbridges ability to expand user adoption of Freeway, and the ability to recognize benefits from our new language technology
deployment.

Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual
results may vary materially from those anticipated, estimated or projected. The forward-looking statements in this Form 10-Q are made as of the date of this filing only, and Lionbridge does not undertake to update or supplement these statements due
to changes in circumstances or otherwise.
