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, 2008.

The Companys preparation of financial
statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates
of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported periods. Estimates are used when accounting for collectibility of receivables, calculating service revenue using a proportional performance assessment
and valuing intangible assets, 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. On May 1, 2009, the
stockholders of the Company approved an amendment to the 2005 Plan increasing the maximum number of shares of common stock available for issuance under the 2005 Plan by 4,500,000 shares to 8,500,000 shares. At March 31, 2009, there were 196,697
options available for future grant under the 2005 Plan. Options to purchase common stock are granted at the discretion of the Board of Directors and the Nominating and Compensation Committee. Generally, stock options vest over a four-year period:
25% of the option shares vest one year from the date of grant and the remaining option shares vest at the rate of 12.5% each six month period thereafter. Stock options generally expire five to seven years from the date of grant under the 2005 Plan.
Under the terms of the 2005 Plan, the exercise price of incentive and non-qualified stock option grants must not be less than 100% of the fair market value of the common stock on the date of grant. Options are amortized using a straight-line basis
over the option vesting period.

Lionbridges 1998 Stock Option Plan (the 1998 Plan) provides for the issuance of
incentive and nonqualified stock options. The maximum number of shares of common stock available for issuance under the Plan is 11,722,032 shares and the 1998 Plan expired on January 26, 2008. At March 31, 2009 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.

Restricted Stock Awards

Lionbridge issued 280,125 and 3,592 shares of restricted common stock and restricted stock units under the Companys 2005 Incentive Plan and the 1998 Stock Plan, respectively, in the three-month period ended
March 31, 2009 with a fair market value of $475,000. Of the total 283,717 shares of restricted common stock and restricted stock units issued in the three-month period ended March 31, 2009, 280,125 have restrictions on disposition which
lapse over four years from the date of grant on each anniversary date and 3,592 have restrictions on disposition which lapse over thirteen months from the date of grant.

Stock-based Compensation

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 (revised 2004), Share-Based
Payment (SFAS 123R). Total compensation expense related to stock options, market-based restricted stock awards and time-based restricted stock awards was $1.1 million and $1.6 million for the three-month periods ended
March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively, classified in the statement of operations line items as follows:



|                                       |  |                             |           |      |   |

As of March 31, 2009, future compensation cost related to non-vested stock options, less estimated
forfeitures, is approximately $1.9 million and will be recognized over an estimated weighted average period of approximately 1.9 years. Lionbridge currently expects to amortize $4.1 million of unamortized compensation in connection with restricted
stock awards outstanding as of March 31, 2009 over an estimated weighted average period of approximately 2.4 years.

3. WORK IN PROCESS

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

4. DEBT

On December 21, 2006, the Company entered into a revolving credit facility (the Credit Agreement) with HSBC Bank USA, National Association. The Credit Agreement was subsequently amended 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 March 31, 2009, $41.7 million was outstanding with an interest rate of 2.0%. The Company is required
to maintain leverage and fixed charge coverage ratios and to comply with other covenants in its revolving credit agreement. The leverage ratio is calculated by dividing the Companys total outstanding indebtedness at each quarter end by its
adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and certain other non-cash expenses during the four consecutive quarterly periods then ended. The fixed charge coverage ratio is calculated by dividing the Companys adjusted earnings
before interest, taxes, depreciation and certain other non-cash expenses minus capital expenditures for each consecutive four quarterly periods by its interest paid or payable and cash paid on taxes during each such consecutive four quarterly
periods. The Company was in compliance with both of these ratios as well as all other bank covenants as of March 31, 2009.

5. COMPREHENSIVE INCOME
(LOSS)

Total comprehensive income (loss) consists of net loss, the net change in the funded status of defined benefit postretirement
plans, unrealized losses on a cash flow hedge and the net change in foreign currency translation adjustment. Total comprehensive loss was $6.5 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2009 and total comprehensive income was $3.4
million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2008.

6. NET INCOME (LOSS) PER SHARE

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding. For the purposes of calculating diluted earnings per share, the denominator
includes both the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding and the number of dilutive common stock equivalents such as stock options, 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-month periods ended March 31, 2009 and 2008,
respectively, are as follows:



|                                                                                     |  |                             |  |

Options, unvested restricted stock and warrants to purchase 7,491,000 and 8,330,000 shares of
common stock for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively, were not included in the calculation of diluted net income per share, as their effect would be anti-dilutive.

7. MERGER, RESTRUCTURING AND OTHER CHARGES

Due to
the deterioration in worldwide economic conditions during 2008, Lionbridge implemented cost reduction actions to improve its operating cost structure, reduce overhead and better position itself competitively. During the three-month period ended
March 31, 2009 Lionbridge recorded $993,000 of restructuring and other charges. The $993,000 of restructuring and other charges recorded in the three-month period ended March 31, 2009 included $854,000 for workforce reductions in Europe,
the United States and Asia consisting of seventy-four technical staff, ten administrative staff and ten sales staff and $139,000 recorded for vacated facilities, 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, $690,000 related to the Companys Global Language and Content
(GLC) segment, $259,000 related to the Global Development and Testing (GDT) segment, $32,000 related to Corporate and Other and $12,000 related to the Interpretation segment. The Company made $644,000 of cash payments in the
three-month period ended March 31, 2009, with $428,000, $193,000, $12,000 and $11,000 related to the GLC, GDT, Interpretation and Corporate and Other segments, respectively. The Company expects that the cost reduction actions implemented during
2008 and the first quarter of 2009 will have a positive impact on future operating results.

During the three-month period ended
March 31, 2008 Lionbridge recorded $206,000 of restructuring and other charges. The $206,000 of restructuring and other charges recorded in the three-month period ended March 31, 2008 included $53,000 for workforce reductions in Europe
consisting of two technical staff, $101,000 recorded for vacated facilities, $52,000 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, $164,000 related to the Companys Global
Language and Content (GLC) segment and $42,000 related to the Global Development and Testing (GDT) segment. The Company made $639,000 of cash payments in the three-month period ended March 31, 2008, $634,000 and $5,000
related to the GLC and GDT segments, respectively.

The following table summarizes the accrual activity for the three months ended
March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively, by initiative:

At March 31, 2009, the Companys consolidated balance sheet includes accruals totaling $1.3 million primarily related to employee termination costs and vacated facilities. Lionbridge currently anticipates
that $1.2 million of these will be fully utilized within twelve months. The remaining $80,000 relates to lease obligations on unused facilities expiring through 2011 and is included in long-term liabilities.

8. INCOME TAXES

On January 1, 2007, Lionbridge
adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) 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 March 31, 2009, not including interest and penalties, was $3.3 million, of which $3.3 million would affect earnings if
recognized. Lionbridge also 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 March 31, 2009, Lionbridge had approximately
$824,000 of interest and penalties accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits of which $824,000 would affect earnings if recognized.

In
addition to the above, in connection with the Companys 2005 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. At March 31, 2009 the gross unrecognized tax affected benefits are $2.8 million and related
accrued interest and penalties are $817,000. The net increase in the liability during the three months ended March 31, 2009 was as follows:

##### Table of Contents

The tax provision for the three-month period ended March 31, 2009 consists primarily of taxes on
income in foreign jurisdictions, a deferred tax benefit of $197,000 related to the recognition of deferred tax assets in certain foreign jurisdictions and taxes, interest and penalties recorded was in relation to the Companys uncertain tax
positions. 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-month period ended March 31, 2008 consists primarily
of taxes on income in foreign jurisdictions and deferred taxes related to tax deductible goodwill acquired from the BGS acquisition and taxes, interest and penalties recorded in relation to the Companys uncertain tax positions.

The tax provisions for the three-month period ended March 31, 2008 included non-cash tax expense that was offset by pre-acquisition foreign net operating
loss carryforwards. Effective January 1, 2009, with the adoption of SFAS 141R, the tax benefit of any pre-acquisition net operating loss for which a full valuation allowance was recorded in purchase accounting will reduce income tax expense
when realized. 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 March 31, 2009, 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 2008.

9. 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 by individual geographical
location. 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.

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.

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

The table below presents information about the reported net loss of the Company for the three-month periods ended March 31,
2009 and 2008. Asset information by reportable segment is not reported, since the Company does not produce such information internally.

10. GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS

Lionbridge assesses the impairment of goodwill and other intangible assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value
may not be recoverable. Such events or conditions could include an economic downturn in the industries to which Lionbridge provides services; increased competition; an increase in operating or other costs; additional volatility in international
currencies; the pace of technological improvements; or other information regarding

Lionbridges market value, such as a reduction in stock price to a price near or below the book value of the Company for an extended period of time.
When Lionbridge determines that the carrying value of goodwill may not be recoverable based upon one or more of these indicators of impairment, the Company initially assesses any impairment using fair value measurements based on projected discounted
cash flow valuation models. In addition, in accordance with SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets (SFAS No. 142), goodwill is reviewed for impairment on an annual basis. At December 31, 2008, the
Company performed its annual test of goodwill to determine if an impairment existed. It was determined that the carrying value of the Companys goodwill related to its GLC reporting unit exceeded the implied fair value of goodwill. As a result,
Lionbridge recorded a goodwill impairment charge of $120.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2008.

The Company evaluates
whether there has been an impairment in the carrying value of its long-lived assets in accordance with SFAS No. 144, Accounting for Impairment of Long-Lived Assets, (SFAS No. 144) if circumstances indicate that a
possible impairment may exist. An impairment in the carrying value of an asset is assessed when the undiscounted expected future operating cash flows derived from the asset grouping are less than its carrying value. If it is determined that the
asset is impaired then it is written down to its estimated fair value. Factors that could lead to an impairment of acquired customer relationships (recorded with the acquisition of BGS in September 2005) include a worsening in customer attrition
rates compared to historical attrition rates, or lower than initially anticipated cash flows associated with customer relationships.

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

11. CONTINGENCIES

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

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

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

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

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

On February 25, 2009, the parties advised the District
Court that they have reached an agreement-in-principle to settle the litigation in its entirety. A stipulation of settlement was filed with the District Court on April 2, 2009. The proposed global settlement remains subject to preliminary and
final approval by the District Court. The litigation process is inherently uncertain and unpredictable, however, and there can be no guarantee as to the ultimate outcome of this pending lawsuit. While Lionbridge cannot guarantee the outcome of these
proceedings, the Company believes that the final result of this lawsuit will have no material effect on its consolidated financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.

12. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

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 did

not 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 March 31, 2009.

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.



|         |  |                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      
|-------- |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|Level 1: |  | Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Lionbridge does not have any financial assets or liabilities as of March 31, 2009 designated as Level
1.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        
|         | 
|Level 2: |  | Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be
corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the related assets or liabilities. Lionbridges Level 2 assets and liabilities are an interest rate swap and foreign exchange forward contracts whose fair value we
determine using pricing models predicated upon observable market inputs. Lionbridge did not have any foreign exchange forward contracts outstanding at March 31, 2009.
|         | 
|Level 3: |  | Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. Lionbridge does not have any financial assets and
liabilities as of March 31, 2009 designated as Level 3.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            

The following tables set forth the financial assets and liabilities as of March 31, 2009 and
December 31, 2008 that Lionbridge measured at fair value on a recurring basis by level within the fair value hierarchy. As required by SFAS No. 157, assets and liabilities measured at fair value are classified in their entirety based on
the lowest level of input that is significant to their fair value measurement.

13. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In December 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (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 adoption of SFAS No. 141R did not have an impact on the Companys financial position and results of operations.

In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,an amendment of FASB SFAS 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 did
not have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or liquidity.



In April 2009, the FASB issued Staff Position (FSP) No. FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1, Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments (FSP 107-1 and APB 28-1), which require
disclosure in the body or in the accompanying notes of the Companys summarized financial information for interim reporting periods and in its financial statements for annual reporting periods the fair value of all financial instruments for
which it is practicable to estimate that value, whether recognized or not in the statement of financial position, as required by SFAS No. 107. FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1 will be effective for interim reporting periods ending after June 15,
2009. The Company is currently evaluating the future impact FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1 will have on its financial statements.

In April
2009, the FASB issued FSP No. FAS 157-4, Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly(FSP
157-4), which clarifies the interaction of the factors that should be considered when evaluating whether there has been a significant decrease in the volume and level of activity for an asset or liability when compared with normal market
activity for the asset or liability (or similar assets or liabilities). If there has been a significant decrease in the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability, further analysis of the transactions or quoted prices is required, and a
significant adjustment to the transactions or quoted prices may be necessary to estimate fair value. FSP 157-4 will be effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009, and should be applied prospectively. The
Company is currently evaluating the future impact FSP 157-4 will have on its financial statements.

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

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 13, 2009 (SEC File No. 000-26933) and subsequent filings as well as risks and uncertainties discussed elsewhere in this Form 10-Q could cause
Lionbridges actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially
from those anticipated, estimated or projected. The forward-looking statements in this Form 10-Q are made as of the date of this filing only, and Lionbridge does not undertake to update or supplement these statements due to changes in circumstances
or otherwise.

Introduction

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

Lionbridge GLC solutions enable the 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.

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

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

Lionbridge provides a full suite of language, testing and development outsourcing services to businesses in diverse end markets including
technology, mobile and electronics, life sciences, consumer, publishing, manufacturing, automotive and government. Lionbridges solutions include product and content globalization; content and eLearning courseware development, interpretation
services, 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. Lionbridge also provides interpretation services to government organizations and businesses that require human interpreters
for non-English speaking individuals.

For the three-month period ended March 31, 2009, Lionbridges loss from operations was
$4.0 million, with a net loss of $5.1 million. For the year ended December 31, 2008, the Companys loss from operations was $114.2 million (which included a goodwill impairment charge of $120.6 million) with a net loss of $119.3 million.
As of March 31, 2009, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $236.5 million.

The Company expects that the deterioration in
worldwide economic conditions that began to emerge during the second half of 2008 and intensified during the first quarter of 2009 will continue throughout 2009. These conditions have adversely affected the Companys overall financial
performance during the first quarter of 2009 and will likely continue to affect the Companys performance in 2009 if customers continue to reduce demand for the Companys service offerings and delay or postpone projects. Given the
concentration of revenue among relatively few customers in the GLC segment, the Company expects that the impact of reduced customer demand will be experienced most significantly within the GLC segment. The Companys GDT and Interpretation
segments employ a cost structure that can be adjusted more quickly to respond to

##### Table of Contents

changes in customer demand for services within those segments. As the Company expects continued instability in worldwide economic conditions to continue
during the remainder of 2009, and that these conditions will influence customer demand for the Companys services, the Company has undertaken a number of cost-cutting and restructuring activities to adjust its cost structure more quickly to
respond to the variable demand for the Companys services.

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 revenue and general and administrative expenses are payable in Euros, while the majority of its revenues are
recorded in U.S. Dollars. During the quarter ended March 31, 2009, the value of the U.S. Dollar relative to the Euro strengthened by 12% from the same period of the prior year. The impact of this significant strengthening in the value of
the U.S. Dollar relative to the Euro is reflected in the Companys financial results for the three-month period ended March 31, 2009 when compared to the corresponding period of 2008. While the strengthening in the U.S. Dollar
has contributed to decreased revenue for the quarter ended March 31, 2009, particularly in the GLC segment, the Companys operating income and net income were positively impacted due to lower costs related to Euro-denominated payment
obligations to third party outsourcers, lease obligations and compensation when compared to the corresponding period of 2008. The lower costs associated with the strengthening of the U.S. Dollar during the quarter ended March 31, 2009 as
compared to the corresponding period in 2008 more than offset the currency related decline in revenue 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 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

##### Table of Contents

services have independent value to the customer, and there is evidence of fair value for each service, the combined service arrangement is bifurcated into
separate units for accounting treatment. In instances where it is not possible to bifurcate a project, direct and incremental costs attributable to each component are deferred and recognized together with the service revenue upon delivery. The
determination of fair value requires the use of significant judgment. Lionbridge determines the fair value of service revenues based upon its recent pricing for those services when sold separately and/or prevailing market rates for similar services.

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

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

Valuation of Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

Lionbridge assesses the impairment of goodwill and other intangible assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value
may not be recoverable. Such events or conditions could include an economic downturn in the industries to which Lionbridge provides services; increased competition; an increase in operating or other costs; additional volatility in international
currencies; the pace of technological improvements; or other information regarding Lionbridges market value, such as a reduction in stock price to a price near or below the book value of the Company for an extended period of time. When
Lionbridge determines that the carrying value of goodwill may not be recoverable based upon one or more of these indicators of impairment, the Company initially assesses any impairment using fair value measurements based on projected discounted cash
flow valuation models. In addition, in accordance with SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets (SFAS No. 142), goodwill is reviewed for impairment on an annual basis. At December 31, 2008, the
Company performed its annual test of goodwill to determine if an impairment existed. It was determined that the carrying value of the Companys goodwill related to its GLC reporting unit exceeded the implied fair value of goodwill. As a result,
Lionbridge recorded a goodwill impairment charge of $120.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2008.

The Company evaluates
whether there has been an impairment in the carrying value of its long-lived assets in accordance with SFAS No. 144, Accounting for Impairment of Long-Lived Assets, (SFAS No. 144) if circumstances indicate that a
possible impairment may exist. An impairment in the carrying value of an asset is assessed when the undiscounted expected future operating cash flows derived from the asset grouping are less than its carrying value. If it is determined that the
asset is impaired then it is written down to its estimated fair value. Factors that could lead to an impairment of acquired customer relationships (recorded with the acquisition of BGS in September 2005) include a worsening in customer attrition
rates compared to historical attrition rates, or lower than initially anticipated cash flows associated with customer relationships.

Merger,
Restructuring and Other Charges

Due to the deterioration in worldwide economic conditions during 2008, Lionbridge implemented cost
reduction actions to improve its operating cost structure, reduce overhead and better position itself competitively. During the three-month period ended March 31, 2009 Lionbridge recorded $993,000 of restructuring and other charges. The
$993,000 of restructuring and other charges recorded in the three-month period ended March 31, 2009 included $854,000 for workforce reductions in Europe, the United States and Asia consisting of seventy-four technical staff, ten administrative
staff and ten sales staff and $139,000 recorded for vacated facilities, 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, $690,000 related to the Companys Global Language and Content (GLC) segment, $259,000 related to the Global Development and Testing (GDT)
segment, $32,000 related to Corporate and Other and $12,000 related to the Interpretation segment. The Company made $644,000 of cash payments in the three-month period ended March 31, 2009, with $428,000, $193,000, $12,000 and $11,000 related
to the GLC, GDT, Interpretation and Corporate and Other segments, respectively. The Company expects that the cost reduction actions implemented during 2008 and the first quarter of 2009 will have a positive impact on future operating results. For
the full year 2009 the Company expects restructuring charges of $5-10 million.

During the three-month period ended March 31, 2008
Lionbridge recorded $206,000 of restructuring and other charges. The $206,000 of restructuring and other charges recorded in the three-month period ended March 31, 2008 included $53,000 for workforce reductions in Europe consisting of two
technical staff, $101,000 recorded for vacated facilities, $52,000 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, $164,000 related to the Companys Global

Language and Content (GLC) segment and $42,000 related to the Global Development and Testing (GDT) segment. The Company made $639,000
of cash payments in the three-month period ended March 31, 2008, $634,000 and $5,000 related to the GLC and GDT segments, respectively.

Stock
Option Plans

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

In November 2005, the stockholders of Lionbridge Technologies, Inc. approved the Lionbridge 2005 Incentive Plan
(the 2005 Plan), which had been previously adopted by the Lionbridge Board of Directors on October 7, 2005, for officers, employees, non-employee directors and other key persons of Lionbridge and its subsidiaries. On May 1,
2009, the stockholders of the Company approved an amendment to the 2005 Plan increasing the maximum number of shares of common stock available for issuance under the 2005 Plan by 4,500,000 shares to 8,500,000 shares. At March 31, 2009, there
were 196,697 options available for future grant under the 2005 Plan. Options to purchase common stock are granted at the discretion of the Board of Directors and the Nominating and Compensation Committee. Generally, stock options vest over a
four-year period: 25% of the option shares vest one year from the date of grant and the remaining option shares vest at the rate of 12.5% each six month period thereafter. Stock options generally expire five to seven years from the date of grant
under the 2005 Plan. Under the terms of the 2005 Plan, the exercise price of incentive and non-qualified stock option grants must not be less than 100% of the fair market value of the common stock on the date of grant. Options are amortized using a
straight-line basis over the option vesting period.

Lionbridges 1998 Stock Option Plan (the 1998 Plan) provides for the
issuance of incentive and nonqualified stock options. The maximum number of shares of common stock available for issuance under the Plan is 11,722,032 shares and the 1998 Plan expired on January 26, 2008. At March 31, 2009 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.

Restricted Stock Awards

As of March 31, 2009, future compensation cost related to non-vested stock options, less estimated
forfeitures, is approximately $1.9 million and will be recognized over an estimated weighted average period of approximately 1.9 years. Lionbridge currently expects to amortize $4.1 million of unamortized compensation in connection with restricted
stock awards outstanding as of March 31, 2009 over an estimated weighted average period of approximately 2.4 years.

Revenue for the quarter ended March 31, 2009 was $88.4 million, a decrease of $28.6 million,
or 24.5%, from $117.0 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2008. Revenue decline during the first quarter of 2009 in each of the GLC, GDT and Interpretation segments was $24.7 million, $3.5 million and $457,000, respectively, as compared to
the quarter ended March 31, 2008. The Companys decline in revenue was primarily driven by decreased demand as a result of the recessionary global economic environment and as a result of the strengthened U.S. Dollar. The Companys
revenue decreased approximately $22.8 million as a result of the global economic slowdown and approximately $5.8 million due to the strengthening of the U.S. dollar against most foreign currencies. Lionbridge conducts a large portion of its business
in international markets. Approximately 45% of its revenue for the quarter ended March 31, 2009 is denominated in foreign currencies. The principal foreign currency applicable to Lionbridges business is the Euro. Approximately 32% of
revenue was denominated in Euro for the quarter ended March 31, 2009, and a majority of this revenue is concentrated in the GLC business. During the quarter ended March 31, 2009, the U.S. dollar strengthened significantly against most
foreign currencies, in particular the Euro. A fluctuation in foreign currency exchange rates primarily affects the GLC business.

##### Table of Contents

Revenue from the Companys GLC business for the quarter ended March 31, 2009 decreased $24.7
million, or 28.3%, to $62.7 million from $87.4 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2008. As compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2008, revenues decreased approximately $19.4 million due to the global economic slowdown resulting in
decreased demand for the Companys services, particularly from existing customers and approximately $5.3 million due to the strengthening in the U.S. Dollars exchange rates, in particular against the Euro.

Revenue from the Companys GDT business was $19.3 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2009, a decrease of $3.5 million, or 15.3%, from
$22.8 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2008. The period-over-period decrease in GDT revenue was primarily due to decreased revenue from large programs from existing customers. Revenue in the GDT business is not materially impacted by
fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates.

Revenue from the Companys Interpretation business for the quarter ended
March 31, 2009 was $6.4 million, a decrease of $457,000, or 6.7% from $6.9 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2008. The period-over-period decrease in Interpretation revenue was primarily due to decreased revenue from smaller limited
term engagements for existing customers, partially offset by increased volume from a large existing program for an existing customer.

Cost of Revenue. Cost of revenue, excluding depreciation and amortization, consists primarily of expenses incurred for translation services provided by third parties as well as salaries and associated employee benefits for personnel
related to client engagements. The following table shows GLC, GDT and Interpretation cost of revenues, the percentage change from the three-month period of the prior year and as a percentage of revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2009
and 2008, respectively:

For the quarter ended March 31, 2009, as a percentage of revenue, cost of revenue increased
slightly to 69.2% as compared to 69.1% for the three months ended March 31, 2008. The increase was primarily the result of a decrease in revenue due to the economic slowdown partially offset by cost saving initiatives implemented in 2008,
continued benefits realized from the deployment and use of Lionbridges language management technology platform and from the strengthening of the U.S. Dollar against most foreign currencies, particularly the Euro.

Each segment provides distinctive services with different gross margins. For the quarter ended March 31, 2009, GLC, GDT and Interpretation accounted
for approximately 70.9%, 21.9% and 7.2% of the total revenue. For the quarter ended March 31, 2008, GLC, GDT and Interpretation accounted for approximately 74.6%, 19.5% and 5.9% of the total revenue.

For the quarter ended March 31, 2009, cost of revenue decreased $19.7 million, or 24.4%, to $61.2 million as compared to $80.9 million for the
corresponding period of the prior year. The decrease was primarily associated with the $28.6 million decrease in revenue as compared to the corresponding period of the prior year. The decrease also includes approximately $6.8 million due to the
strengthened U.S. Dollar against most foreign currencies, particularly the Euro.

For the quarter ended March 31, 2009, cost of
revenue as a percentage of revenue in the Companys GLC business increased slightly to 70.0% as compared to 69.8% for the corresponding period of the prior year. Cost of revenue decreased $17.1 million to $43.9 million compared to $60.9 million
for the same quarter of the prior year. The decrease in cost is

primarily associated with the $24.7 million decrease in revenue as compared to corresponding period of the prior year. The decrease also includes
approximately $5.8 million due to the strengthened U.S. Dollar against most foreign currencies, particularly the Euro.

Cost of revenue as
a percentage of revenue in the Companys GDT business increased to 65.5% for the quarter ended March 31, 2009 as compared to 63.8% for the quarter ended March 31, 2008. The increase was primarily due to work mix variance in services
from an existing customer, partially offset by the strengthening of the U.S. Dollar against the Indian Rupee and the Euro in the quarter ended March 31, 2009 as compared to the same period of the prior year. For the quarter ended March 31,
2009, GDT cost of revenue decreased $1.9 million, or 13.0%, to $12.7 million as compared to $14.6 million for the corresponding quarter of the prior year. This decrease was primarily associated with the $3.5 million decrease in revenue
period-over-period. The decrease also includes approximately $761,000 due to the strengthening of the U.S. Dollar against foreign currencies as noted above.

Cost of revenue as a percentage of revenue in the Companys Interpretation business decreased to 72.4% for the quarter ended March 31, 2009 as compared to 78.2% for the quarter ended March 31, 2008.
This decrease is primarily due to reductions in negotiated rates with interpreters and an effort to recruit local interpreters which has resulted in lower travel costs 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.

Sales and Marketing.Sales and
marketing expenses consist primarily of salaries, commissions and associated employee benefits, travel expenses of sales and marketing personnel, promotional expenses, sales force automation/CRM system expense, training, and the costs of programs
aimed at increasing revenue, such as advertising, trade shows, public relations and other market development programs. The following table shows sales and marketing expenses in dollars, the dollar change from the three-month period of the prior year
and as a percentage of revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively:

Sales and marketing expenses decreased $1.1 million, or 12.7%, to $7.7 million for the quarter
ended March 31, 2009 as compared to $8.8 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2008. As a percentage of revenue, sales and marketing expenses increased to 8.7% as compared to 7.5% for the quarter ended March 31, 2008. This increase
is primarily associated with the $28.6 million decrease in revenue as compared to the corresponding period of the prior year. Approximately $617,000 of the decrease in sales and marketing expenses for the quarter ended March 31, 2009, as
compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2008, is due to the strengthening of the U.S. Dollar against foreign currencies.

General
and Administrative. General and administrative expenses consist of salaries of the management, purchasing, process and technology, finance and administrative groups, and associated employee benefits and travel; facilities costs; information
systems costs; professional fees; business reconfiguration costs and all other site and corporate costs. The following table shows general and administrative expenses in dollars, the dollar change from the three-month period of the prior year and as
a percentage of revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively:

General and administrative expenses decreased $4.4 million, or 18.9%, to $18.8 million for the
quarter ended March 31, 2009 as compared to $23.2 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2008. The majority of this decrease is the result of cost saving initiatives implemented during 2008 and in the first quarter of 2009, primarily
employee compensation and benefits, and lower stock-based compensation expense. In addition, approximately $1.7 million of the decrease is attributable to the strengthening of the U.S. Dollars exchange rate against most foreign currencies, in
particular the Euro and Indian Rupee. Approximately 58.0% 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 March 31, 2009, as compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2008. As a percentage of revenue, general and administrative expenses increased to 21.3% for the quarter ended March 31, 2009, as
compared to 19.8%, for the same period of the prior year. This increase is primarily associated with the $28.6 million decrease in revenue as compared to the corresponding 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-month period of the prior year and as a percentage of revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and
2008, respectively:



|                                       |  |                              |           |   |      |   |           |

|Increase from prior year               |  |                              | 73,000    |   |      |   |           |

Research and development expense increased to $1.2 million for the quarter ended March 31,
2009 as compared to $1.1 million for the corresponding period of the prior year. The increase is attributable principally to the Companys continued development of its language management technologies, including Logoport and
Freeway. This increase was partially offset by the strengthening of the U.S. Dollar against foreign currencies as approximately 83.0% of research and development expenses are denominated in non-U.S. Dollars, primarily the Euro.

Depreciation and Amortization.Depreciation and amortization consist of the expense related to property and equipment that is being depreciated
over the estimated useful lives of the assets using the straight-line method. The following table shows depreciation and amortization expense in dollars, the dollar change from the three-month period of the prior year and as a percentage of revenue
for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively:



|                                            |  |                              |           |   |      |   |           |

|Total depreciation and amortization expense |  | $                            | 1,141,000 |   |      | $ | 1,139,000 |  
|Increase from prior year                    |  |                              | 2,000     |   |      |   |           |  
|Percentage of revenue                       |  |                              | 1.3       | % |      |   | 1.0       | %

Depreciation and amortization remained consistent at $1.1 million for the quarter ended
March 31, 2009 as compared to same period for 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 March 31, 2009 and 2008 of $1.4 million
and $2.1 million, respectively relates solely to the amortization of identifiable intangible assets acquired from BGS. The $733,000 decrease of amortization expense in the three-month period ended March 31, 2009 as compared to the corresponding
period of the prior year is due to the intangible assets related to BGS acquired customer relationships and contracts which were fully amortized as of December 31, 2008.

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 March 31, 2009 of $581,000 decreased $585,000 from $1.2 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2008. The decrease reflects the impact of approximately $16.2 million lower average borrowings during
the quarter ended March 31, 2009 as compared to the corresponding period of the prior 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 $5,000 in other expense, net, in the quarter ended March 31, 2009, as compared to $2.4 million in other expense, net, in the corresponding quarter of the prior year. The
variations are primarily attributable to the variances among the Euro and other currencies against the U.S. Dollar in the periods, as compared to the net position and variance during the corresponding periods of the prior year. In addition,
Lionbridges net realized and unrealized foreign currency gains were $3.4 million on forward contracts in the quarter ended March 31, 2008.

Provision for Income Taxes. The following table shows the provision for income taxes expense in dollars, the dollar change from the three-month period of the prior year and as a percentage of revenue for the
three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively:

##### Table of Contents

The provision for income taxes consists primarily of taxes resulting from profits in foreign
jurisdictions, taxes, interest and penalties associated with uncertain tax positions, and deferred tax liabilities related to the tax deductible goodwill from the BGS acquisition. The tax provision decreased $32,000 to $584,000 for the quarter ended
March 31, 2009 from $616,000 in the corresponding quarter of the prior year. These decreases are primarily due to 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) 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 March 31, 2009, $41.7 million was
outstanding with an interest rate of 2.0%.

The following table shows cash and cash equivalents and working capital at March 31, 2009
and at December 31, 2008:

|Working capital           |  |                | 40,125,000 |                   |   | 57,163,000

Lionbridges working capital decreased $17.0 million to $40.1 million at March 31, 2009,
as compared to $57.2 million at December 31, 2008. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in cash and accounts receivable, offset by increased work in process, accounts payable, accrued expenses and deferred revenue. The decrease in
accounts receivable was primarily due to the continuous effort of accelerated billing and collections, as well as a slowdown in revenue in the first quarter of 2009, due to the declining economic environment year-over-year.

As of March 31, 2009, cash and cash equivalents totaled $19.9 million, a decrease of $18.1 million from $38.0 million at December 31, 2008.
This decrease was primarily due to cash used in the business of $2.3 million, $14.0 million used to pay down long-term debt, $736,000 used to purchase property and equipment and a $959,000 decrease in cash due to the impact of foreign currency
fluctuations.

Accounts receivable and work in process totaled $73.3 million at March 31, 2009, a decrease of $11.8 million as
compared to $85.1 million at December 31, 2008. Other current assets increased $134,000 to $9.7 million as compared to $9.6 million at December 31, 2008. Current liabilities totaled $62.8 million at March 31, 2009, a decrease of $12.7
million as compared to $75.5 million at December 31, 2008. These changes were driven by the net impact of accelerated billing and collections, as well as a slowdown in revenue in the first quarter of 2009, due to the declining economic
environment year-over-year.

The following table shows the net cash used in operating activities, net cash provided by (used in) investing
activities, and net cash used in financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively:



|                                                    |  |                              |             |   |      |   |            |

|Net cash used in operating activities               |  | $                            | (2,321,000  | ) |      | $ | (6,943,000 | )
|Net cash provided by (used in) investing activities |  |                              | (736,000    | ) |      |   | 1,074,000  |  
|Net cash used in financing activities               |  |                              | (14,045,000 | ) |      |   | (2,400,000 | )

Net cash used in operating activities was $2.3 million for the three months ended March 31,
2009, as compared to $6.9 million for the corresponding period of the prior year. The $2.3 million cash used in operating activities was due to a net loss of $5.1 million (inclusive of $3.7 million in depreciation, amortization, stock-based
compensation and other non-cash

expenses), an $8.8 million net decrease in accounts receivable and work in process, reflecting improved cash management in the three-month period ended
March 31, 2009 as compared to the corresponding period of 2008, a $1.2 million increase in other operating assets, a $6.1 million decrease in accounts payable, accrued expenses and other operating liabilities, and a $2.4 million decrease in
deferred revenue.

In the three months ended March 31, 2008, the net cash used in operating activities was $6.9 million. The $6.9
million cash used in operating activities was due to net loss of $4.4 million (inclusive of $1.6 million in depreciation, amortization, stock-based compensation and other non-cash expenses, net of realized and unrealized foreign currency gains on
forward contracts of $3.4 million), a $4.0 million net decrease in accounts receivable and work in process, a $2.6 million increase in other operating assets, a $1.0 million decrease in accounts payable, accrued expenses and other operating
liabilities, and a $4.5 million decrease in deferred revenue.

Lionbridge has not experienced any significant trends in accounts receivable
and work in process other than changes relative to the change in revenue, as previously noted. Fluctuations in accounts receivable from period to period relative to changes in revenue are a result of timing of customer invoicing and receipt of
payments from customers.

Net cash used in investing activities increased $1.8 million to $736,000 for the three months ended
March 31, 2009, as compared to $1.1 million cash provided by investing activities for the corresponding period of the prior year. The primary investing activity in the three months ended March 31, 2009 was $736,000 for the purchase of
property and equipment.

In the three months ended March 31, 2008, the net cash provided by investing activities was $3.7 million of
net proceeds from foreign currency forward contracts partially offset by $2.6 million for the purchase of property and equipment.

Net cash
used in financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2009 was $14.0 million, an increase of $11.6 million as compared to $2.4 million net cash used in financing activities for the corresponding period of 2008. Cash used in
financing activities consisted of $14.0 million of payments of long-term debt and $45,000 for payments of capital lease obligations.

In
the three months ended March 31, 2008, the net cash used in financing activities was $2.4 million. Cash used in financing activities consisted of $7.4 million of payments of short-term debt, $32,000 of payments of long-term debt, $2.3 million
of payments for the repurchase of shares, $51,000 for payments of capital lease obligations, $7.4 million of proceeds from the issuance of short-term debt and $12,000 of proceeds from the issuance of common stock under option plans.

Lionbridge anticipates that its present cash and short-term investments position and available financing under its Credit Agreement should provide
adequate cash to fund its currently anticipated cash needs for the next twelve months and foreseeable future. However, due to deterioration in global economic and market conditions, should the Company require additional funding, the Companys
access to capital markets as a means of funding any anticipated cash needs could be limited. Moreover, due to current economic and market conditions as well as the instability in the U.S. and worldwide credit markets, the Company may not be able to
access additional debt financing on the same or substantially similar terms as those in the Credit Agreement. To the extent that capital recoveries or operating results are less than expected, management is committed to pursuing alternative
financing arrangements or reducing expenditures as necessary to meet the Companys cash requirements through 2009. As of March 31, 2009, the Company was in compliance with all debt covenants and expects to remain in compliance for the upcoming
year.

Contractual Obligations

As of
March 31, 2009, there were no material changes in Lionbridges contractual obligations as disclosed in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008. 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. Tax provisions during the three months ended March 31, 2009, primarily
related to transfer pricing and accrued interest, have increased these balances by $515,000 to $4.1 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. As of March 31, 2009 the FIN 48 tax liability balance is approximately $3.6 million. Accordingly, the Company adjusted its balance sheet by recording a long-term Indemnification Receivable and related FIN 48 liability for this
amount. The timing of settlement of these tax liabilities is uncertain at this time.

Recent Accounting
Pronouncements

In December 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards (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 adoption of SFAS No. 141R did not have an impact on the Companys financial position and results of operations.

In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,an amendment of FASB SFAS 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 did not have a
material impact on our financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

In April 2009, the FASB issued Staff Position
(FSP) No. FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1, Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments (FSP 107-1 and APB 28-1), which require disclosure in the body or in the accompanying notes of the Companys
summarized financial information for interim reporting periods and in its financial statements for annual reporting periods the fair value of all financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate that value, whether recognized or not in
the statement of financial position, as required by SFAS No. 107. FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1 will be effective for interim reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009. The Company is currently evaluating the future impact FSP FAS 107-1 and APB
28-1 will have on its financial statements.

In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP No. FAS 157-4, Determining Fair Value When the Volume
and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly(FSP 157-4), which clarifies the interaction of the factors that should be considered when
evaluating whether there has been a significant decrease in the volume and level of activity for an asset or liability when compared with normal market activity for the asset or liability (or similar assets or liabilities). If there has been a
significant decrease in the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability, further analysis of the transactions or quoted prices is required, and a significant adjustment to the transactions or quoted prices may be necessary to estimate
fair value. FSP 157-4 will be effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009, and should be applied prospectively. The Company is currently evaluating the future impact FSP 157-4 will have on its financial
statements.



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

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

Interest Rate Risk. Lionbridge is exposed to market risk from changes in interest rates with respect to its revolving loan facility which bears
interest at Prime or LIBOR (at the Companys discretion) plus an applicable margin based on certain financial covenants. As of March 31, 2009, $41.7 million was outstanding under this facility. A hypothetical 10% increase or decrease in
interest rates would have approximately an $84,000 impact on the Companys interest expense based on the $41.7 million outstanding at March 31, 2009 with an interest rate of 2.0%. On July 20, 2007, the Company entered into a
three-year amortizing interest rate swap with a notional amount of $20.0 million that corresponds to a portion of the Companys floating rate credit facility. On July 31, 2008, the notional amount decreased to $15.0 million. The 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 $679,000 at March 31, 2009. A hypothetical 10% increase or
decrease in interest rates would have approximately a $12,000 impact on the derivatives fair value. 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 March 31, 2009. Additionally, Lionbridge is exposed to market risk through its investing activities. The Companys portfolio consists primarily of
short-term time deposits and investments in money market funds that have maturities less than 90 days. A hypothetical 10% increase or decrease in interest rates would not have a material impact on the carrying value of Lionbridges investments
due to their immediately available liquidity.

Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk. Lionbridge conducts a large portion of its
business in international markets. Although a majority of Lionbridges contracts with clients are denominated in U.S. dollars, 66% and 65% of its costs and



25

##### Table of Contents

expenses for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively, were denominated in foreign currencies, primarily operating expenses
associated with cost of revenue, sales and marketing and general and administrative. In addition, 16% and 18% of the Companys consolidated tangible assets were subject to foreign currency exchange fluctuations as of March 31, 2009 and
December 31, 2008, respectively, while 9% and 8% of its consolidated liabilities were exposed to foreign currency exchange fluctuations as of March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively. In addition, net inter-company balances
denominated in currencies other than the functional currency of the respective entity were approximately $37.2 million and $27.4 million as of March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively. The principal foreign currency applicable to
our business is the Euro. The Company has implemented a risk management program that partially mitigates its exposure to assets or liabilities (primarily cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable) denominated in currencies
other than the functional currency of the respective entity which includes the use of derivative financial instruments principally foreign exchange forward contracts. These foreign exchange forward contracts generally have one-month terms and do not
qualify for hedge accounting under SFAS No. 133. The Company had no foreign exchange forward contracts outstanding at March 31, 2009.



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

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. Lionbridge maintains disclosure controls and procedures designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in the Companys filings under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported accurately within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commissions rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated
to management as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their
objectives and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. As of the end of the period covered by this report, an evaluation was performed under the supervision and
with the participation of management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Companys disclosure controls and procedures (pursuant to Exchange Act Rule
13a-15). Based upon this evaluation, the CEO and CFO concluded that the Companys disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level as of March 31, 2009.

Changes in internal control over financial reporting. There were no changes in the Companys internal control over financial reporting that
occurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2009 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 issuer settlement was conditioned on, among other things, a ruling by the District Court that the claims against Lionbridge and against the other issuers who had agreed to the settlement would be
certified for class action treatment for purposes of the proposed settlement, such that all investors included in the proposed classes in these cases would be bound by the terms of the settlement unless an investor opted to be excluded from the
settlement.

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

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

On February 25, 2009, the parties advised the District Court that they have reached an agreement-in-principle to settle
the litigation in its entirety. A stipulation of settlement was filed with the District Court on April 2, 2009. The proposed global settlement remains subject to preliminary and final approval by the District Court. The litigation process is
inherently uncertain and unpredictable, however, and there can be no guarantee as to the ultimate outcome of this pending lawsuit. While Lionbridge cannot guarantee the outcome of these proceedings, the Company believes that the final result of this
lawsuit will have no material effect on its consolidated financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.

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

The matters discussed
in this Form 10-Q include forward-looking statements that involve risks or uncertainties. These statements are neither promises nor guarantees, but are based on various assumptions by management regarding future circumstances many of which
Lionbridge has little or no control over. A number of important risks and uncertainties, including those identified under the caption Risk Factors in Lionbridges Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed March 13, 2009 (SEC File No.
000-26933) (the 2008 Annual Report) and subsequent filings as well as risks and uncertainties discussed elsewhere in this Form 10-Q, could cause Lionbridges actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking
statements. There have been no material changes in the Companys risk factors from those disclosed in its 2008 Annual Report.



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

During the quarter ended March 31, 2009, the Company withheld 119,967 restricted shares from certain employees to cover certain withholding taxes due from the employees at the time the shares vested. The
following table provides information about Lionbridges purchases of equity securities for the quarter ended March 31, 2009:
