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. 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, 2007.

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

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 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 2005 Plan was amended on
May 21, 2007, to adjust the vesting schedule of future automatic equity grants to non-employee directors of the Company from four years to two years. The maximum number of shares of common stock available for issuance under the 2005 Plan is
4,000,000 shares. At June 30, 2008, there were 465,665 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 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. In the six months ended June 30, 2008, Lionbridge awarded 62,272 stock option grants under the 2005 Plan.

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 1998 Plan is 11,722,032 shares and the 1998 Plan expired on January 26, 2008. Accordingly, at June 30, 2008 there were no options available for future grant under the 1998 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 1998 Plan. 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. In the six months ended June 30, 2008, Lionbridge awarded 297,728 stock option grants under the 1998 Plan.

Restricted Stock Awards

Lionbridge issued 65,940 and 948,500 shares of restricted common stock and restricted stock units
under the Companys 2005 Incentive Plan and the 1998 Stock Plan, respectively, in the six-month period ended June 30, 2008 with a fair market value of $3.1 million. Of the total 1,014,440 shares of restricted common stock and restricted
stock units issued in the six-month period ended June 30, 2008, 963,000 have restrictions on disposition which lapse over four years from the date of grant on each anniversary date and 51,440 have restrictions on disposition which lapse over
thirteen months from the date of grant.

3. 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 on
January 22, 2007 to add certain additional non-U.S. subsidiaries of the Company as Borrowers or Guarantors. The Credit Agreement replaced the Companys Term Loan B and Revolving Credit Facility with Wachovia Bank, National Association that
had been in place since September 1, 2005. The Credit Agreement provides for a five-year $100.0 million revolving credit facility. At June 30, 2008, $68.7 million was outstanding with an interest rate of 4.2%.

4. COMPREHENSIVE INCOME

Total comprehensive income
consists of net income (loss) and the net change in foreign currency translation adjustment, which is the primary component of accumulated other comprehensive income. Total comprehensive income was $952,000 and $1.0 million for the three-month
periods ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively, and $4.4 million and $1.8 million for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

5. 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, unvested restricted stock and warrants, as determined using the treasury stock method.

Shares used in calculating basic and diluted earnings per share for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively, are as follows:

income per share, as their effect would be anti-dilutive.

|--- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

At June 30, 2008, the Companys consolidated balance sheet includes accruals totaling $1.5 million primarily related to employee termination costs and vacated facilities. Lionbridge currently anticipates
that $1.1 million of these will be fully utilized within twelve months. The remaining $401,000 relates to lease obligations on unused facilities expiring through 2011 and is included in long-term liabilities.

7. INCOME TAXES

On January 1, 2007, Lionbridge
adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (FIN 48), and recognized a $185,000 increase in the liability for unrecognized tax benefits, which was
accounted for as a reduction to retained earnings. The balance of unrecognized tax benefits at June 30, 2008, including interest and penalties, was $3.1 million, of which $3.1 million would affect earnings if recognized. Lionbridge recognizes
interest accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits in tax expense. Penalties, if incurred, would also be recognized as a component of tax expense. At June 30, 2008, Lionbridge had approximately $600,000 of interest and penalties accrued
related to unrecognized tax benefits, which, net of the federal tax benefit, was approximately $396,000. The net increase in the liability during the six months ended June 30, 2008 was as follows:

In addition to the above, in connection with the acquisition of Bowne Global Solutions (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. The Company determined that its gross unrecognized tax affected benefits
related to the acquisition of BGS and subject to indemnification were approximately $4.0 million. Accordingly, the Company adjusted its balance sheet by recording a long-term Indemnification Receivable and related FIN 48 liability as of
January 1, 2007 for this amount. A change in interest rate and penalties assumptions in 2007 resulted in a net reduction to the FIN 48 liability and Indemnification Receivable of $428,000 to $3.5 million. At June 30, 2008 the gross
unrecognized tax affected benefits are $3.5 million.

The components of the provision for income taxes are as follows for the three and six-month periods
ended June 30, 2008 and 2007:

The tax provision for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2008 consists primarily
of current taxes on income in foreign jurisdictions, taxes, interest and penalties accrued in relation to the Companys uncertain tax positions, and a deferred tax provision of $121,000 and $238,000, respectively, related to tax-deductible
goodwill from the BGS acquisition. The Company reasonably anticipates that the unrecognized tax benefit relative to FIN 48 will not change significantly within the next twelve months. The tax provision for the three and six-month periods ended
June 30, 2007 consists primarily of taxes on income in foreign jurisdictions and deferred taxes related to tax deductible goodwill acquired from the BGS acquisition.

The tax provisions for both periods include non-cash tax expense that will be offset by pre-acquisition foreign net operating loss carryforwards. The tax benefits from utilization of pre-acquisition losses do not
reduce the foreign element of the tax provision, but instead reduce goodwill. The effective rate does not reflect a benefit of U.S. operating loss carryforward amounts due to a full valuation reserve against the U.S. deferred asset.

At June 30, 2008, 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 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.

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 1998 to 2007.

8. 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 service performed. The Company is reporting its results among the following three business segments:

Global Language and
Content (GLC)this segment includes Lionbridges globalization, translation and localization services, as well as content development and technical documentation. The GLC 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.

##### Table of Contents

Global Development and Testing (GDT)this segment includes Lionbridges
development, engineering and testing services for software, hardware, websites, search engines 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. Lionbridges testing services also include product certification and competitive analysis. Lionbridge offers its testing
services under the VeriTest brand.

Interpretationthis segment includes interpretation services provided by Lionbridge to government
organizations and businesses that require human interpreters.

Lionbridge has determined its operating segments based on the service
performed. While the Company allocates revenue and costs according to these operating segments to the best of its ability, in some cases, customers may select Lionbridge to provide multiple services that span the Companys operating
segments. During 2007 a large client expanded an existing program with the Company. While this program had historically been managed by the Companys GLC segment due to the nature of the work the Company had previously performed for
this client, in 2008 the Company determined the nature of this new, expanded program with the client more accurately reflects the nature of work performed in its GDT segment and moved the management of the program to its GDT
segment. As a result, the Company has reclassified $1.5 million and $3.5 million of revenue for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2007, respectively, and $191,000 and $642,000 of net income the three and six-month
periods ended June 30, 2007, respectively, associated with this client program from its GLC segment into its GDT segment.

The table below presents information about the reported net income of the Company for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2008 and 2007. Asset information by reportable segment is not reported, since the Company does not

9. GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS

In connection with the September 1, 2005 acquisition of BGS, Lionbridge recorded $96.1 million of goodwill. Additionally, in connection with the
acquisition of BGS, Lionbridge recorded $48.3 million of amortizable intangible assets, including customer contracts, technology and customer relationships. 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 technology ranges from 1 to 4 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. In determining the fair value of the acquired customer relationships, Lionbridge used a discounted cash flow model based
upon the estimated future income streams associated with the customer relationships considering their estimated remaining period of benefit. As part of this model, Lionbridge relied on historical attrition rates combined with a premium factor
related to the inherent risk of attrition in the newly acquired BGS customer base.

Lionbridge assesses the impairment of goodwill and
other intangible assets on an annual basis or 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 intangibles or 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 SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, goodwill is reviewed for impairment on an annual basis. At December 31, 2007, 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 required. Estimating future cash flows requires management to make projections that can differ materially from actual results.

The Company evaluates whether there has been an impairment in the carrying value of its intangible assets, in accordance with SFAS No. 144, Accounting for Impairment of Long-Lived Assets, 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 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 BGS acquisition) include a worsening in customer attrition rates compared to historical
attrition rates, or lower than initially anticipated cash flows associated with customer relationships.

The following table summarizes
other intangible assets at June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively.

10. 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 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. The plaintiffs have since moved for certification of different classes in the District
Court.

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. In addition, on October 1, 2007, the plaintiffs submitted their briefing in support of their motions to certify different classes in the six focus cases. The issuer
defendants and the underwriter defendants have separately opposed those motions. The motions to certify classes in the six focus cases remain pending.

We intend to continue to defend the litigation vigorously. The litigation process is inherently uncertain and unpredictable, however, and there can be no guarantee as to the ultimate outcome of this pending lawsuit.
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.

11. FAIR VALUE
MEASUREMENTS

On January 1, 2008, Lionbridge adopted SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (SFAS
No. 157), for the Companys financial assets and liabilities. The adoption of SFAS No. 157 did not materially impact Lionbridges financial position, results of operations or liquidity. In accordance with FASB Staff
Position No. FAS 157-2, Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157 (FSP FAS 157-2), Lionbridge elected to defer until January 1, 2009 the adoption of SFAS No. 157 for all nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial
liabilities that are not recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis. The adoption of SFAS No. 157 for those assets and liabilities within the scope of FSP FAS 157-2 is not expected to have a material
impact on Lionbridges financial position, results of operations or liquidity. Lionbridge did not have any nonfinancial assets or nonfinancial liabilities that would be recognized or disclosed on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2008.

SFAS No. 157 provides a framework for measuring fair value and requires expanded disclosures regarding fair value measurements. SFAS
No. 157 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. SFAS No. 157 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.

12. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In March 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 161,
Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133 (SFAS No. 161). SFAS No. 161 requires enhanced disclosures regarding an entitys derivative and hedging
activities. These enhanced disclosures include information regarding how and why an entity uses derivative instruments; how derivative instruments and related hedge items are accounted for under SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities, and its related interpretations; and how derivative instruments and related hedge items affect an entitys financial position, financial performance and cash flows. SFAS No. 161 is effective
for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. The adoption of SFAS No. 161 will not have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007), Business Combinations (SFAS No. 141R). This statement
establishes principles and requirements for how the acquirer in a business combination (i) recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the
acquiree, (ii) recognizes and measures the goodwill acquired in the business combination or a gain from a bargain purchase, and (iii) determines what information to disclose to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature and
financial effects of the business combination. SFAS No. 141R is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of SFAS No. 141R on its financial position and results of
operations.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, which establishes a framework for measuring fair value and requires
expanded disclosures regarding fair value measurements. In February 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. FAS 157-2 (FSP FAS 157-2), Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157, which allows for the deferral of the
adoption date of SFAS No. 157 for all nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities, except those that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis. We have elected to defer the adoption of SFAS
No. 157 for the assets and liabilities within the scope of FSP FAS 157-2. Refer to Note 11, Fair Value Measurements, of this Form 10-Q, for our disclosures pursuant to the effective portion of SFAS No. 157. The adoption of SFAS
No. 157 for those assets and liabilities within the scope of FSP FAS 157-2 is not expected to have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

13. SUBSEQUENT EVENT

In July 2008, the Irish Office of the Revenue Commissioners (the Revenue
Office) granted the Companys request relating to the deductibility of interest expense associated with certain interest-bearing inter-company loans that had generated taxable income in Ireland. More specifically, the Revenue Office
determined that the interest income on certain interest-bearing inter-company loans may be netted, for tax purposes, against the interest expense on certain other interest-bearing inter-company loans. As a result, in the quarter ending
September 30, 2008, the Company will reverse the deferred tax liability of $2.1 million related to the accrued interest expense of $8.2 million that it had recorded as of December 31, 2007.

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.



13

##### Table of Contents

Lionbridge Global Language and Content (GLC) solutions enable the globalization 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, search engines 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 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.

For the six-month period ended
June 30, 2008, Lionbridges income from operations was $2.5 million, with a net loss of $3.5 million. For the year ended December 31, 2007, the Companys income from operations was $9.0 million with a net loss of $4.2 million. As
of June 30, 2008, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $115.6 million.

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, as a large portion of its cost of sales and general and administrative expenses are payable in Euro, while the majority of its revenues
are recorded in U.S. Dollar. Over the past year, there has been a decline in the value of the U.S. Dollar relative to the Euro. During the six months ended June 30, 2008, there was a 7% decline in the value of the U.S. Dollar relative
to the Euro from the quarter ended December 31, 2007 and a 16% decline from the quarter ended June 30, 2007. The impact of this significant decline in the value of the U.S. Dollar relative to the Euro in the reported periods is
reflected in the Companys financial results for the period ended June 30, 2008. While the depreciation in the U.S. Dollar has contributed to increased revenue for the quarter ended June 30, 2008, particularly in the GLC segment,
the Companys operating income and net income were negatively impacted due to higher costs related to Euro-denominated payment obligations to third party outsourcers, lease obligations and compensation. The higher costs associated with the
depreciation of the U.S. Dollar during the quarter ended June 30, 2008 offset the benefits of the incremental revenue and of cost reduction initiatives undertaken by the Company during the period.

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 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 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



14

##### Table of Contents

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 the Emerging
Issues Task Force Issue 00-21, Accounting for Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables. 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.

Valuation of Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

Lionbridge assesses the impairment of goodwill and other intangible assets on an annual basis or 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 intangibles or 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 SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, goodwill is reviewed for impairment on an annual basis. At December 31, 2007, 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 required. Estimating future cash flows requires management to make projections that can differ materially from actual results.

The Company evaluates whether there has been an impairment in the carrying value of its other intangibles assets in accordance with SFAS No. 144,
Accounting for Impairment of Long-Lived Assets, 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 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 BGS acquisition) 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 six-month period ended June 30, 2008 Lionbridge recorded $427,000 of restructuring and other charges. The $427,000 of restructuring and other charges recorded in the six-month period ended June 30, 2008 included
$278,000 for workforce reductions in Europe consisting of seven technical staff and one administrative staff, $96,000 recorded for vacated facilities, $53,000 of additional costs recorded for a previously vacated facility in order to reflect a new
sublease arrangement, recorded pursuant to the guidance in FASB Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 146, Accounting for Costs associated with Exit or Disposal Activities (SFAS No. 146), and related
literature. Of these charges, $357,000 related to the Companys Global Language and Content (GLC) segment, $45,000 related to the Interpretation segment and $25,000 related to the Global Development and Testing (GDT)
segment. The Company made $1.2 million of cash payments in the six-month period ended June 30, 2008, $1.1 million, $49,000 and $45,000 related to the GLC, Interpretation and GDT segments, respectively.

During the six-month period ended June 30, 2007 Lionbridge recorded $1.3 million of restructuring and other charges. The $1.3 million of
restructuring and other charges recorded in the six-month period ended June 30, 2007 included $727,000 for workforce reductions in Europe and South America consisting of twelve technical and five administrative staff, $162,000 recorded for
vacated facilities, $132,000 of additional costs recorded for a previously vacated facility in order to reflect a new sublease arrangement,

recorded pursuant to the guidance in SFAS No. 146 and $229,000 of other charges, principally expenses related to integrating financial systems used by
the acquired Bowne Global Solutions (BGS) sites to a common general ledger financial system. Of these charges, $929,000 related to the Companys GLC segment, $92,000 related to the GDT segment and $229,000 related to Corporate and
Other. The Company made $1.1 million of cash payments in the six-month period ended June 30, 2007, $875,000 and $243,000 related to the GLC and GDT segments, respectively.

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 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 2005 Plan was amended on
May 21, 2007, to adjust the vesting schedule of future automatic equity grants to non-employee directors of the Company from four years to two years. The maximum number of shares of common stock available for issuance under the 2005 Plan is
4,000,000 shares. At June 30, 2008, there were 465,665 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 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. In the six months ended June 30, 2008, Lionbridge awarded 62,272 stock option grants under the 2005 Plan.

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 1998 Plan is 11,722,032 shares and the 1998 Plan expired on January 26, 2008. Accordingly, at June 30, 2008 there were no options available for future grant under the 1998 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 1998 Plan. 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. In the six months ended June 30, 2008, Lionbridge awarded 297,728 stock option grants under the 1998 Plan.

Restricted Stock Awards

Lionbridge issued 65,940 and 948,500 shares of restricted common stock and restricted stock units
under the Companys 2005 Incentive Plan and the 1998 Stock Plan, respectively, in the six-month period ended June 30, 2008 with a fair market value of $3.1 million. Of the total 1,014,440 shares of restricted common stock and restricted
stock units issued in the six-month period ended June 30, 2008, 963,000 have restrictions on disposition which lapse over four years from the date of grant on each anniversary date and 51,440 have restrictions on disposition which lapse over
thirteen months from the date of grant.

The Company recognizes expense for stock options, market-based restricted stock awards and
time-based restricted stock awards pursuant to the guidance of Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123, Share-Based Payment (SFAS
123R). Total compensation expense related to stock options, market-based restricted stock awards and time-based restricted stock awards was $1.5 million and $2.0 million for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2008 and 2007,
respectively, and $3.1 million and $3.8 million for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively, classified in the statement of operations line items as follows:

Revenue for the quarter ended June 30, 2008 was $125.5 million, an increase of $10.9 million,
or 9.5%, from $114.6 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2007. Revenue growth during the second quarter of 2008 in each of the GLC, GDT and Interpretation segments was $6.5 million, $3.3 million and $1.1 million, respectively, as compared to
the quarter ended June 30, 2007. Lionbridge conducts a large portion of its business in international markets. Approximately 47.9% of its revenue for the quarter ended June 30, 2008 is denominated in foreign currencies. The principal
foreign currency applicable to Lionbridges business is the Euro. Approximately 34.7% of revenue for the quarter ended June 30, 2008 was denominated in Euro, and a majority of this revenue is concentrated in the GLC business. Accordingly,
a fluctuation in foreign currency exchange rates primarily affects the GLC business. During the quarter ended June 30, 2008, the U.S. Dollar was significantly weaker against most foreign currencies, in particular the Euro, as compared to the
quarter ended June 30, 2007. The Companys revenue increased approximately $3.8 million, or 3.3%, as the result of organic growth and approximately $7.0 million, or 6.2%, due to the significant decline in the exchange rate of the U.S.
Dollar against most foreign currencies period-over-period. This increase in revenue is net of an approximate $550,000 increase in deferred revenue in the GLC segment in the quarter ended June 30, 2008. Revenue for the six months ended
June 30, 2008 was $242.5 million,

##### Table of Contents

an increase of $19.3 million, or 8.7%, from $223.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007. The increase of $19.3 million consists of $8.8
million, $8.3 million and $2.3 million of revenue growth in GLC, GDT, and Interpretation, respectively. As compared to the six months ended June 30, 2007, revenue increased approximately $5.6 million, or 2.5%, as the result of organic
growth, and approximately $13.8 million, or 6.2%, due to the impact of foreign exchange, primarily affecting the GLC business, as the U.S. Dollar was significantly weaker against certain foreign currencies, in particular the Euro, during the six
months ended June 30, 2008, as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2007. As noted above, this increase is net of the increase in deferred revenue in the GLC business. During the quarter, the Company initiated measures designed to
moderate the effect of currency fluctuations, particularly with respect to the GLC segment. Among these initiatives are contractual terms with customers to periodically adjust rates relative to fluctuations in currency and pricing increases to
reflect the depreciation of the U.S. Dollar during the term of the contractual arrangement.

Revenue from the Companys GLC business
for the quarter ended June 30, 2008 increased $6.5 million, or 7.4%, to $93.6 million from $87.2 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2007. As compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2007, revenue increased approximately $6.7 million
due to the decline in the foreign exchange rate between U.S. Dollar and other currencies, in particular the Euro. During this same comparative period, organic growth declined approximately $300,000 during the quarter ended June 30, 2008, which
was partially the result of an increase of $550,000 in deferred revenue in the GLC business. For the six months ended June 30, 2008, revenue from the Companys GLC business was $181.0 million, an increase of $8.8 million, or 5.1%, from
$172.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007. As compared to the six months ended June 30, 2007 revenue increased approximately $13.2 million due to the impact of foreign exchange, particularly, the weakened U.S. Dollar, as noted
above, while organic growth declined by approximately $4.4 million during the six months ended June 30, 2008. This increase in revenue is net of a $550,000 increase in deferred revenue in the GLC business.

Revenue from the Companys GDT business was $24.5 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2008, an increase of $3.3 million, or 15.7%, from
$21.2 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2007. The period-over-period increase in GDT revenue was primarily due to increased revenue from large programs for existing customers. Revenue in the GDT business is not materially impacted by
fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. For the six months ended June 30, 2008 revenue from the Companys GDT business was $47.3 million, an increase of $8.3 million, or 21.2%, from $39.0 million for the six months ended
June 30, 2007. The year-on-year increase in GDT for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2007 was primarily due to increased revenue from two long-term engagements and the Companys ability to utilize the skills and
infrastructure of its GLC business to broaden its offerings and cross- sell additional services across segments.

Revenue from the

For the quarter ended June 30, 2008, as a percentage of revenue, cost of revenue increased to 68.4%
as compared to 65.3% for the quarter ended June 30, 2007 primarily due to the negative impact of the decline in the exchange rate of the U.S. dollar against most foreign currencies and changes in the revenue and service mix. The Company
estimates that the decline of the U.S. dollar negatively impacted cost of revenue by over 240 basis points, period-over-period, essentially offsetting the benefits realized from the deployment and use of Lionbridges language
management technology platform in the GLC business, and lower internal operating costs resulting from certain restructuring and cost reduction actions initiated over the past few years.

Each segment provides distinctive services with different gross margins. For the quarter ended June 30, 2008, GLC, GDT and Interpretation accounted
for approximately 74.6%, 19.5% and 5.9% of the total revenue. For the quarter ended June 30, 2007 GLC, GDT and Interpretation accounted for approximately 76.1%, 18.5% and 5.4% of the total revenue.

For the quarter ended June 30, 2008, cost of revenue increased $11.1 million, or 14.9%, to $85.9 million as compared to $74.8 million for the
corresponding period of the prior year. The increase was primarily in support of $10.9 million of incremental revenue as compared to the corresponding period of the prior year. The increase also includes approximately $7.7 million due to the
depreciation of the U.S. Dollar against foreign currencies as noted above, with the balance due to changes in the revenue and service mix period-over-period. For the six months ended June 30, 2008, cost of revenue was $166.8 million, an
increase of $19.8 million, or 13.4%, as compared to $147.0 million for the same period of 2007. This increase was primarily in support of $19.3 million incremental revenue as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2007. Approximately $15.4
million of the increase is attributable to depreciation of the U.S. Dollar against certain currencies as noted above.

For the quarter
ended June 30, 2008, cost of revenue as a percentage of revenue in the Companys GLC business increased to 70.0% as compared to 65.3% for the quarter ended June 30, 2007. Cost of revenue increased $8.6 million to $65.5 million
compared to $56.9 million for the same quarter of the prior year. This increase reflects higher costs for translation services, mainly due the negative impact of the decline in the exchange rate of the U.S. Dollar against most foreign currencies,
and variations in work mix. As noted above, the negative impact of the decline in the exchange rate of the U.S. Dollar against most foreign currencies significantly impacted the cost of revenue ratios in the GLC business. The Company estimates that
the decline of the U.S. Dollar impacted cost of revenue by over 250 basis points, period-over-period, offsetting the benefits realized from the deployment and use of Lionbridges language management technology platform, growing customer
satisfaction, the economies of longer-term customer programs and lower internal operating costs resulting from certain restructuring and cost reduction actions initiated over the past few years. For the six months ended June 30, 2008, GLC cost
of revenue increased $13.1 million to $126.5 million as compared to $113.4 million for the corresponding period of the prior year. This increase primarily is attributable to the $13.6 million impact due to the depreciation of the U.S. Dollar against
foreign currencies, as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2007.

Cost of revenue as a percentage of revenue in the
Companys GDT business increased slightly to 62.1% for the quarter ended June 30, 2008 as compared to 61.9% for the quarter ended June 30, 2007. This increase was primarily due to the U.S. Dollars decline against the Indian
Rupee and the Euro in the quarter ended June 30, 2008 as compared to the same period of the prior year. The Company estimates that the decline of the U.S. dollar impacted cost of revenue by over 240 basis points, period-over-period. For the
quarter ended June 30, 2008, GDT cost of revenue increased $2.1 million, or 15.9%, to $15.2 million as compared to $13.1 million for the corresponding quarter of the prior year. This increase was primarily associated with the $3.3 million
increase in revenue period-over-period, and to a lesser degree, work mix variation in services as compared to the corresponding quarter of the prior year. The increase includes approximately $680,000 due to the depreciation of the U.S. Dollar
against foreign currencies as noted above. For the six months ended June 30, 2008 cost of revenue was $29.8 million, an increase of $5.2 million, or 21.2%, as compared to $24.5 million for the same period of 2007. This increase was primarily in
support of $8.3 million incremental revenue as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2007. The increase includes approximately $1.6 million due to the depreciation of the U.S. Dollar against foreign currencies as noted above. Cost of
revenue as a percentage of revenue in the Companys GDT business increased was constant at 62.9% for the six months ended June 30, 2008 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2008. The Company estimates that the decline of the
U.S. Dollar impacted cost of revenue by over 300 basis points, period-over-period.

Cost of revenue as a percentage of revenue in the
Companys Interpretation business decreased to 70.6% and 74.2%, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, respectively, as compared to 76.1% and 76.2% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007. This decrease is
primarily due to increased revenue levels, pricing and work mix variations in services as compared to the corresponding quarter of the prior year. The Companys Interpretation business is not materially impacted by foreign currency exchange
rate fluctuations.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, sales and marketing expenses increased
$332,000 and $1.2 million, respectively, as compared with the corresponding periods of 2007. As a percentage of revenue, sales and marketing expenses decreased to 7.1% and 7.3% as compared to 7.5% and 7.4% for three and six months ended
June 30, 2007. The Company estimates that the decline of the U.S. Dollar increased sales and marketing expenses by approximately $356,000 and $697,000 for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2008, respectively, as compared to the
same periods of the prior year. This increase is primarily attributable to increased compensation to support increased revenue levels from period to period, as well as projected revenue growth in the future.

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

million, or 7.0%, to $22.8 million as compared to $21.3 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2007. The $1.5 million increase is primarily attributable to the decline in the U.S. dollars exchange rate against most foreign currencies, in
particular the Euro and Indian Rupee. Approximately 62.0% of general and administrative expenses are denominated in non-U.S. Dollars, primarily the Euro and Indian Rupee, and of that amount a majority of these expenses relate to rent and
compensation expense in the quarter ended June 30, 2008, as compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2007. As a percentage of revenue, general and administrative expenses decreased to 18.2% for the quarter ended June 30, 2008, as
compared to 18.6%, 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.

For the six months ended June 30, 2008, general and administrative expenses increased $4.1 million, or 9.7%, to $46.0 million as compared to $41.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007.
Approximately $3.2 million of the increase is attributable to the impact of foreign exchange, as the U.S. Dollar declined against certain foreign currencies, in particular the Euro and Indian Rupee. Approximately 62.0% of general and administrative
expenses are denominated in non-U.S. Dollars, primarily the Euro and Indian Rupee, and of that amount a majority of these expenses relate to rent and compensation expense in the six months ended June 30, 2008 as compared to the six months ended
June 30, 2007. The remainder is primarily due to increased compensation and certain other rent, and consulting expenses in the six months ended June 30, 2008 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2007. As a percentage of
revenue, general and administrative expenses remained constant at 19.0% for the six months ended June 30, 2008 as compared to 18.8% for the same period of the prior year.

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. 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 six-month periods of the prior year and as a percentage of revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively:

Research and development expense increased $552,000 and $947,000 for the three and six months ended
June 30, 2008 to $1.3 million and $2.4 million from $785,000 and $1.5 million for the corresponding periods of the prior year. Approximately $138,000 and $254,000 of the increase for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2008,
respectively, is due to the depreciation of the U.S. Dollar against foreign currencies, as compared to the same periods of the prior year.

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 six-month periods of the prior year and as a percentage of revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007,
respectively:

Depreciation and amortization expense decreased to $1.3 million and $2.4 million for the three and
six months ended June 30, 2008, respectively, as compared to $1.3 million and $2.6 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007. The decrease for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2008 as compared to the
corresponding periods of the prior year is primarily due to the culmination of depreciable lives of certain assets acquired in prior years. This decrease was partially offset by increases attributable to a decline in foreign currency exchange rates
of approximately $103,000 and $219,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, as compared to the corresponding period of the prior year.

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 June 30, 2008 and 2007 of $2.1 million and $2.1 million, respectively, and for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 of $4.2 million and $4.2 million, respectively, relates solely to
the amortization of identifiable intangible assets.

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 June 30, 2008 of $1.0 million decreased $421,000 from $1.4 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2007. The decrease reflects the
impact of an approximately $7.0 million lower average borrowings during the quarter, year over year, coupled with lower interest rates. Interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2008 of $2.2 million decreased $719,000 from $2.9 million
for the six months ended June 30, 2007. The decrease reflects the impact of an approximately $6.0 million lower average borrowings during the six 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 $478,000 and $2.9 million in other expense, net, in the three and six months ended
June 30, 2008, respectively, as compared to $598,000 and $1.1 million in other expense, net, 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 prior year. Lionbridge recorded net realized and unrealized foreign currency losses of $259,000 on forward contracts in the quarter
ended June 30, 2008 and net realized and unrealized foreign currency gains of $2.9 million on forward contracts in the six months ended June 30, 2008 as compared to net realized and unrealized foreign currency gains of $116,000 and net
realized and unrealized foreign currency losses of $34,000 on forward contracts in the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, respectively.

Provision for Income Taxes. The following table shows the provision for income taxes expense in dollars, the dollar change from the three and six-month periods of the prior year and as a percentage of revenue for the three and
six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively:

##### Table of Contents

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 decreased $2.0 million to $601,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2008 from $2.6 million in the
corresponding quarter of the prior year, and by $2.9 million for the comparable six-month period. This decrease is primarily due to the lower 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.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

On December 21, 2006, the Company entered into a revolving credit facility (the Credit Agreement), replacing the Companys Term Loan
B and Revolving Credit Facility that had been in place since September 1, 2005. The Credit Agreement was subsequently amended on January 22, 2007 to add certain additional non-U.S. subsidiaries of the Company as Borrowers or Guarantors.
The Credit Agreement provides for a five-year $100.0 million revolving credit facility. At June 30, 2008, $68.7 million was outstanding with an interest rate of 4.2%.

The following table shows cash and cash equivalents and working capital at June 30, 2008 and at December 31, 2007:



|                          |  |               |            |                   |   |           
|------------------------- |  | ------------- | ---------- | ----------------- | - | ----------
|                          |  | June 30, 2008 |            | December 31, 2007
|Cash and cash equivalents |  | $             | 28,804,000 |                   | $ | 32,248,000
|Working capital           |  |               | 67,733,000 |                   |   | 64,460,000

Lionbridges working capital increased $3.3 million to $67.7 million at June 30, 2008,
as compared to $64.5 million at December 31, 2007. The increase was driven by the growth of the business during the six months ended June 30, 2008. As of June 30, 2008, cash and cash equivalents totaled $28.8 million, a decrease of
$3.4 million from $32.2 million at December 31, 2007, primarily due to $3.8 million net cash provided by operating activities of the business, $1.7 million increase in cash due to exchange rate changes in the period and $1.9 million of net cash
used in investing, including $2.4 million net proceeds from foreign currency forward contracts, a purchase price reimbursement from Bowne of $444,000, offset by $4.8 million for purchases of property and equipment and $7.1 million of net cash used
in financing, including $4.3 million for the repurchase of shares, $3.0 million used to pay down debt, partially reduced by other net financing activities of $293,000.

Accounts receivable and work in process totaled $108.8 million, an increase of $1.8 million as compared to $106.9 million at December 31, 2007. Other current assets increased $1.5 million to $13.8 million as
compared to $12.3 million at December 31, 2007. Current liabilities totaled $83.7 million at June 30, 2008, a decrease of $3.4 million as compared to $87.1 million at December 31, 2007.

The following table shows the net cash provided by operating activities, net cash used in investing activities, and net cash used in financing activities
for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively:



|                                          |  |                           |           |      |   |          
|----------------------------------------- |  | ------------------------- | --------- | ---- | - | ---------
|                                          |  | Six Months Ended June 30,
|                                          |  | 2008                      |           | 2007
|Net cash provided by operating activities |  | $                         | 3,826,000 |      | $ | 1,444,000
|Net cash used in investing activities     |  |                           | 1,904,000 |      |   | 2,962,000
|Net cash used in financing activities     |  |                           | 7,052,000 |      |   | 1,636,000

Net cash provided by operating activities was $3.8 million for the six months ended June 30,
2008, as compared to $1.4 million for the corresponding period of the prior year. The $3.8 million cash provided by operating activities was due to net loss of $3.5 million (inclusive of $10.2 million in depreciation, amortization, stock-based
compensation and other non-cash expenses, net of realized and unrealized foreign currency gains on forward contracts of $2.9 million), a $3.5 million net decrease in accounts receivable and work in process, a $822,000 decrease in other operating
assets, a $1.1 million increase in accounts payable, accrued expenses and other operating liabilities, and a $5.4 million decrease in deferred revenue.

In the six months ended June 30, 2007, net cash provided by operating activities was $1.4 million. The $1.4 million cash provided by operating activities was due to net income of $419,000 (inclusive of $10.9
million in depreciation, amortization, stock based compensation and other non-cash expenses), a $13.7 million increase in accounts receivable, a $1.4 million decrease in work in process, a $8.4 million increase in other operating assets, a $8.2
million increase in accounts payable, accrued expenses and other operating liabilities, and a $2.6 million increase 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. 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 $1.1 million to $1.9 million for the six months ended
June 30, 2008, as compared to $3.0 million cash used in investing activities for the corresponding period of the prior year. The primary investing activity in the six months ended June 30, 2008 was $4.8 million for the purchase of property
and equipment, partially offset by $2.4 million net proceeds from foreign currency forward contracts, and purchase price reimbursement from Bowne of $444,000.

In the six months ended June 30, 2007 net cash used in investing activities was $3.0 million. The primary investing activity in the six month periods ended June 30, 2007 was $2.8 million for the purchase of
property and equipment and $119,000 net losses from foreign currency forward contracts.

During the quarter ended September 30, 2007,
Lionbridge announced that its Board of Directors authorized the repurchase up to $12.0 million of shares of the Companys outstanding common stock. As of January 24, 2008, the Company acquired 3.7 million shares of its common stock
for $12.0 million at a volume weighted average price of $3.25 per share. In February 2008, the Companys Board of Directors authorized an incremental repurchase program of up to $12.0 million of the Companys common stock according to
working capital requirements and management discretion. During the six months ended June 30, 2008, the Company acquired 1,490,568 shares of its common stock for $4.3 million at a volume weighted average price of $2.90 per share. As of
June 30, 2008, under the combined programs the Company has purchased 4.6 million shares of its common stock at a volume weighted average price of $3.11 per share and total cost of $14.6 million.

Net cash used in financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2008 was $7.1 million, an increase of $5.4 million as compared to $1.6
million net cash used in financing activities for the corresponding period of 2007. Cash used in financing activities consisted of $4.3 million of payments for the repurchase of shares, $3.0 million of payments of long-term debt and $54,000 net
payments of short-term debt, $28,000 for payments of capital lease obligations, and $375,000 of proceeds from the issuance of common stock under option plans,

In the six months ended June 30, 2007, net cash used in financing activities was $1.6 million. Cash used in financing activities consisted of $2.0 million of payments of long-term debt and $54,000 net payments of
short-term debt, $348,000 of proceeds from the issuance of common stock under stock option plans, $257,000 in proceeds from the issuance of capital leases and $187,000 for payments of capital lease obligations.

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 June 30, 2008, 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, 2007. In January 2007, Lionbridge adopted FIN 48 which resulted in an increase to the Companys income tax liabilities of approximately $185,000 to $1.5 million from the amount recorded at
December 31, 2006. As of December 31, 2007, the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits was $2.5 million. Tax provisions during the six months ended June 30, 2008, primarily related to accrued interest, have increased these balances
by $581,000 to $3.1 million.

Additionally, in connection with the acquisition of BGS, the Company has recorded a FIN 48 tax liability
of approximately $4.0 million related to tax liabilities accruing on or prior to the acquisition date of September 1, 2005 that Bowne & Co., Inc. agreed to indemnify. Accordingly, the Company adjusted its balance sheet by recording a
long-term Indemnification Receivable and related FIN 48 liability for this amount. As of June 30, 2008 the FIN 48 tax liability balance is approximately $3.5 million. The timing of settlement of these tax liabilities is uncertain at this time.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

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

recognizes and measures the goodwill acquired in the business combination or a gain from a bargain purchase, and (iii) determines what information to disclose to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects
of the business combination. SFAS No. 141R is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of SFAS No. 141R on its financial position and results of operations.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, which establishes a framework for measuring fair value and requires expanded disclosures regarding
fair value measurements. In February 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. FAS 157-2 (FSP FAS 157-2), Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157, which allows for the deferral of the adoption date of SFAS
No. 157 for all nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities, except those that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis. We have elected to defer the adoption of SFAS No. 157 for the
assets and liabilities within the scope of FSP FAS 157-2. Refer to Note 10, Fair Value Measurements, of this Form 10-Q, for our disclosures pursuant to the effective portion of SFAS No. 157. The adoption of SFAS No. 157 for those assets
and liabilities within the scope of FSP FAS 157-2 is not expected to have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or liquidity.



|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 includes 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 June 30, 2008, $68.7 million was outstanding under this facility. A hypothetical 10% increase or decrease
in interest rates would have approximately a $291,000 impact on the Companys interest expense based on the $68.7 million outstanding at June 30, 2008 with an interest rate of 4.2%. 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. The $20.0 million notional amount effectively converted that portion of the
Companys total floating rate credit facility to fixed rate debt. The fair value of the interest rate derivative was a liability of $530,000 at June 30, 2008. A 10% increase in interest rates would increase the derivatives fair value
by approximately $70,000. A 10% decrease in interest rates would decrease the derivatives fair value by approximately $71,000. The interest rate swap is designated as a cash flow hedge under SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities (SFAS No. 133) and there is no hedge ineffectiveness at June 30, 2008. Additionally, Lionbridge is exposed to market risk through its investing activities. The Companys portfolio
consists primarily of short-term time deposits with investment grade banks and maturities less than 30 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, 67% and 70% of its costs and expenses for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2008 and 2007,
respectively, were denominated in foreign currencies. In addition, 22% and 15% of the Companys consolidated tangible assets were subject to foreign currency exchange fluctuations as of June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007,
respectively, while 10% and 8% of its consolidated liabilities were exposed to foreign currency exchange fluctuations as of June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively. In addition, net inter-company balances denominated in
currencies other than the functional currency of the respective entity were approximately $88.5 million and $100.0 million as of June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, 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 denominated in currencies other than the functional currency of the respective entity which includes the use of
derivative financial instruments not designated as hedges in accordance with SFAS No. 133. The Company had forward contracts outstanding in the notional amount of $101.9 million at June 30, 2008 and recorded a net of $812,000 in assets to
recognize the fair value of these forward contracts. A 10% appreciation in the U.S. Dollars value relative to the hedge currencies would decrease the forward contracts fair value by approximately $6.5 million at June 30, 2008. A 10%
depreciation in the U.S. Dollars value relative to the hedge currencies would increase the forward contracts fair value by approximately $6.5 million. 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 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 were effective as of June 30, 2008.

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 June 30, 2008 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to 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 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. The plaintiffs have since moved for certification of different classes in
the District Court.

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. In addition, on October 1, 2007, the plaintiffs submitted their briefing in support of their motions to certify different classes in the six focus cases. The
issuer defendants and the underwriter defendants have separately opposed those motions. The motions to certify classes in the six focus cases remain pending.

We intend to continue to defend the litigation vigorously. The litigation process is inherently uncertain and unpredictable, however, and there can be no guarantee as to the ultimate outcome of this pending lawsuit.
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 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 14, 2008 (SEC File No.
000-26933), 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.
