Note 1—Our History and Summary of Various Transactions
Stream Global Services, Inc. (“we”, “us”, “Stream” or “SGS”) is a corporation organized under the laws of the State of Delaware. We were incorporated on June 26, 2007 as a blank check company for the purpose of acquiring, through a merger, capital stock exchange, asset or stock acquisition, exchangeable share transaction or other similar business combination, one or more domestic or international operating businesses. We consummated our initial public offering in October 2007, receiving total gross proceeds of $250 million, and in July 2008, we acquired Stream Holdings Corporation for $128 million (which reflected the $200 million purchase price less assumed indebtedness, transaction fees, employee transaction related bonuses, professional fees, stock option payments and payments for working capital).
In August 2009, Stream, EGS Corp. (“EGS”), the parent company of eTelecare Global Solutions, Inc. (“eTelecare”) and other parties thereto, entered into a definitive agreement to combine in a stock-for-stock exchange (the “Combination”). On October 1, 2009, the Combination closed, with the pre-Combination Stream and EGS stockholders owning approximately 57.5% and 42.5%, respectively, of the combined entity.
Immediately prior to the closing of the Combination, pursuant to a letter agreement, dated as of August 14, 2009, between us and Ares Corporate Opportunities Fund II, L.P. (“Ares”), all of the issued and outstanding shares of our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, $.001 par value per share (“Series A Preferred Stock”), and Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, $0.001 par value per share (the “Series B Preferred Stock”), all of which was held by Ares, were converted into approximately 35,000 shares of our common stock. In addition, we purchased from Ares a ten-year term private warrant to purchase 7,500 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $6.00 per share in consideration for the issuance of 1,000 shares of our common stock.
In conjunction with the closing of the Combination, we issued $200 million of senior notes and entered into a $100 million credit facility (See Note 12).
In November 2009, we commenced a self-tender offer to purchase up to 17,500 of our public warrants, each of which is exercisable for one share of our common stock for $6.00 in cash, at a purchase price of $.50 per warrant net to the seller in cash. In December 2009, we closed the self-tender and accepted for purchase approximately 9,957 warrants for a total purchase price of approximately $4,978, excluding fees and expenses related to the tender offer. (See Note 7)
We have evaluated subsequent events through the date of filing the financial statements. During this period, we did not have any material recognizable or unrecognizable subsequent events that would require disclosure in the financial statements.
Note 2—Our Business
We are a leading global business process outsourcing (“BPO”) service provider specializing in customer relationship management (“CRM”) including sales, customer care and technical support for Fortune 1000 companies. Our clients include leading technology, computing, telecommunications, retail, entertainment/media, and financial services companies.

Note 3—Basis of Presentation
Our consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, include our accounts and those of our wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. In the opinion of management, all normal recurring adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.
On October 1, 2009, we acquired EGS in a stock-for-stock exchange. The accompanying consolidated statements of operations and cash flows of SGS for the periods succeeding the Combination on October 1, 2009, include the results of EGS.

Unaudited Interim Financial Information
The accompanying consolidated condensed financial statements as of June 30, 2010 and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 are unaudited. The unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the annual

financial statements and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly our financial position and results of operations and cash flows. The results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ended December 31, 2010, or for any other interim period or future year.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States requires the appropriate application of accounting policies, many of which require management to make estimates and assumptions about future events and their impact on amounts reported in our consolidated financial statements and related notes. Since future events and their impact cannot be determined with certainty, the actual results could differ from estimates. Such differences may be material to the consolidated financial statements.
Foreign Currency Translation and Derivative Instruments
We generally utilize forward contracts with terms of one to 24 months to reduce our foreign currency exposure due to exchange rate fluctuations on forecasted cash flows denominated in non-functional foreign currencies. Upon proper designation, certain of these contracts are accounted for as cash-flow hedges, as defined by the authoritative guidance. These contracts are entered into to protect against the risk that the eventual cash flows resulting from such transactions will be adversely affected by changes in exchange rates. In using derivative financial instruments to hedge exposures to changes in exchange rates, we expose ourselves to counterparty credit risk. We believe that our derivative financial instruments do not expose us to a concentration of credit risk because the counterparties are well established institutions and we monitor counterparty credit risk information on an ongoing basis.
All derivatives, including foreign currency forward contracts, are recognized in other current assets or liabilities on the balance sheet at fair value. Fair values for our derivative financial instruments are based on quoted market prices of comparable instruments or, if none are available, on pricing models or formulas using current market and model assumptions. On the date the foreign exchange contract is entered into, we determine whether that derivative contract should be designated as a cash flow hedge. Changes in the fair value of derivatives that are highly effective and designated as cash flow hedges are recorded in “Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)” until the forecasted underlying transactions occur. To date we have not experienced any hedge ineffectiveness of our cash flow hedges (except certain cash flow hedges previously determined to be effective, as of October 1, 2009, the date of the Combination, which have since been determined to be ineffective at that date). For effective cash flow hedges, the realized gain or loss is recognized in the same period the hedged forecasted cash flows affect the statement of operations. Any realized gains or losses resulting from the cash flow hedges within “Other Income (expense)”. Cash flows from the derivative contracts are classified within “Cash flows from operating activities” in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows.
We may also enter into derivative contracts that are intended to economically hedge certain risks, even though we elect not to apply hedge accounting as defined by the authoritative guidance. For instance, we also enter into foreign exchange forward contracts to hedge against translation gains and losses on certain receivables and payables that are not selected for hedge accounting and, accordingly, the changes in these contracts, as well as the offsetting gain or loss on the hedged asset or liability are recognized in the statement of operations.
Changes in fair value of derivatives not designated as hedges are reported in income. Upon settlement of the derivatives qualifying as hedges, a gain or loss is reported in income.
The assets and liabilities of our foreign subsidiaries, whose functional currency is their local currency, are translated at the exchange rate in effect on the reporting date, and income and expenses are translated at the average exchange rate during the period. The net effect of translation gains and losses is not included in determining net income (loss), but is reflected in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) as a separate component of stockholders’ equity until the sale or until the liquidation of the net investment in the foreign subsidiary. Foreign currency transaction gains and losses are included in determining net income (loss), and are categorized as “Other income (expense)”.
We formally document all relationships between hedging instruments and hedged items, as well as our risk management objective and strategy for undertaking various hedging activities. This process includes linking all derivatives that are designated as cash flow hedges to forecasted transactions. We also formally assess, both at the hedge’s inception and on an ongoing basis (as required), whether the derivatives that are used in hedging transactions are highly effective in offsetting changes in the value of cash flows of hedged items on a prospective and retrospective basis. When it is determined that a derivative is not highly effective as a hedge or that it has ceased to be a highly effective hedge or if a forecasted hedge is no longer probable of occurring, we discontinue hedge accounting prospectively. Hedge accounting is also discontinued prospectively when (1) the derivative is no longer effective in offsetting changes in cash flow of a hedged item; (2) the derivative expires or is sold, terminated, or exercised; (3) it is no longer probable that the forecasted transaction will occur; (4) a hedged firm commitment no longer meets the definition of a firm commitment; (5) the derivative as a hedging instrument is no longer effective; or (6) it is discontinued with purchase accounting.

(In thousands, except per share and per warrant amounts)
As of June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, we had approximately $144,032 and $111,994, respectively, of foreign exchange risk hedged using forward exchange contracts. As of June 30, 2010, these forward exchange contracts we held were comprised of $36,380 of contracts previously determined to be effective cash flow hedges, but as of October 1, 2009, determined to be ineffective, $82,183 of contracts determined to be effective cash flow hedges and $25,469 of contracts for which we elected not to apply hedge accounting. As of December 31, 2009, the $111,994 of forward exchange contracts we held were comprised of $80,470 of contracts previously determined to be effective cash flow hedges but, as of October 1, 2009, determined to be ineffective, $7,733 of contracts determined to be effective cash flow hedges and $23,791 of contracts for which we elected not to apply hedge accounting.
For the six months ended June 30, 2010 and June 30, 2009, the change in the fair market value of the derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges was a loss of $1,847 and a gain of $95, respectively, which is reflected in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). As of June 30, 2010, the fair market value of derivatives previously determined to be effective cash flow hedges but, as of October 1, 2009, determined to be ineffective was a gain of $2,110 of which $1,758 was recognized in Other Income/Expense In the Statement of Operations. As of June 30, 2010, the fair market value of derivatives for which we elected not to apply hedge accounting was a loss of $7, which is recognized in Other Income/Expense in the Statement of Operations
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Effective January 1, 2008, we implemented authoritative guidance, for our financial assets and liabilities that are re-measured and reported at fair value at each reporting period, and non-financial assets and liabilities that are re-measured and reported at fair value at least annually.
The following table presents information about our assets and liabilities and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation techniques we utilized to determine such fair value. In general, fair values determined by Level 1 inputs utilize quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Fair values determined by Level 2 inputs utilize data points that are observable such as quoted prices, interest rates and yield curves. Fair values determined by Level 3 inputs are unobservable data points for the asset or liability, and includes situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability:
June 30, 2010 | Quoted Prices in Active Markets (Level 1) | Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2) | Significant Unobservable (Level 3) | |||||||||
Description | ||||||||||||
Long-term debt | $ | 205,000 | $ | 205,000 | $ | — | $ | — | ||||
Forward exchange contracts | 189 | — | 189 | — | ||||||||
Total | $ | 205,189 | $ | 205,000 | $ | 189 | $ | — |
The fair value of our long term debt is determined from market quotations. The fair value of our forward exchange contracts are determined through market quotations, and other observable and corroborated sources.
The carrying amounts reflected in the consolidated balance sheets for other current assets, accounts payable, and accrued expenses approximate fair value due to their short-term maturities. To the extent we have any outstanding borrowings under our revolving credit facility, the fair value would approximate its reported value because the interest rate is variable and reflects current market rates.
Net Income (Loss) Per Share
In 2009, we calculated net income (loss) per share in accordance with authoritative guidance which clarified the use of the “two-class” method of calculating earnings per share. We determined that our Preferred Stock represented a participating security for purposes of computing earnings per share and allocated earnings per share to a participating security using the two-class method for computing basic earnings per share.

Under the two-class method, basic net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) applicable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted net income (loss) per share is computed using the more dilutive of (a) the two-class method or (b) the if-converted method. We allocated net income first to preferred stockholders based on dividend rights under our certificate of incorporation and then to common and preferred stockholders collectively based on ownership interests. Net losses are not allocated to preferred stockholders. Diluted net income (loss) per share gives effect to all potentially dilutive securities.
The two-class method is not applicable to the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2010 due to the conversion of our preferred stock to common stock on October 1, 2009.
The following common stock equivalents were excluded from computing diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders because they had an anti-dilutive impact:

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In January 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued guidance to amend the disclosure requirements related to recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements. The guidance requires new disclosures on the transfers of assets and liabilities between Level 1 (quoted prices in active market for identical assets or liabilities) and Level 2 (significant other observable inputs) of the fair value measurement hierarchy, including the reasons and the timing of the transfers. Additionally, the guidance requires a roll forward of activities on purchases, sales, issuance, and settlements of the assets and liabilities measured using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3 fair value measurements). The guidance became effective for us with the reporting period beginning January 1, 2010, except for the requirement to separately disclose purchases, sales, issuances and settlements of recurring Level 3 fair value measurements which is effective January 1, 2011. Other than requiring additional disclosures, adoption of this new guidance did not have a material impact on our financial statements.
In October 2009, the FASB issued guidance on revenue recognition that will become effective for us beginning January 1, 2011, with earlier adoption permitted. Under the new guidance, when vendor specific objective evidence or third party evidence for multi-element deliverables in an arrangement cannot be determined, a best estimate of the selling price is required to separate deliverables and allocate arrangement consideration using the relative selling price method. The new guidance includes new disclosure requirements on how the application of the relative selling price method affects the timing and amount of revenue recognition. We believe adoption of this new guidance will not have a material impact on our financial statements.
Note 5—Acquisitions
EGS Acquisition:

SGS and EGS entered into a share exchange agreement pursuant to which Stream issued 33,652 shares of our common stock for all the outstanding shares of EGS. The purchase price calculation was as follows:
Purchase price in common shares | $ | 181,718 | |
Value of pre-emptive rights | 1,384 | ||
Total allocable purchase price | $ | 183,102 |
The acquisition was accounted for in accordance with the authoritative guidance. The transaction was valued for accounting purposes at $183,102.
The exercise of our publicly traded warrants trigger certain pre-emptive rights held by: Ares, EGS Dutchco B.V. and NewBridge International Investment Ltd. (collectively, the “Participating Shareholders”). Pursuant to their pre-emptive rights, the Participating Shareholders have the right to purchase, for $6.00 per share, an aggregate number of shares of our common stock equal to 2.4364 multiplied by the number of shares issued upon the exercise of the publicly traded warrants. The Participating Shareholders received these pre-emptive rights in association with the acquisition of EGS and, accordingly, we have treated the value of these rights as additional purchase consideration.
Under the purchase method of accounting, the assets and liabilities of EGS were recorded as of the acquisition date at their respective fair values. The excess purchase price over those values is recorded as goodwill. The following table summarizes the estimated fair value of assets acquired and the liabilities assumed and related deferred income taxes at October 1, 2009, the date of the acquisition.

We recognized $12,245 of transaction related costs that were expensed in the year ended December 31, 2009. These costs are included in the consolidated income statement in the line titled “transaction related expenses and impairment costs”. We recorded adjustments of $18 and $405 to our transaction related accruals for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, respectively. These costs are included in the consolidated income statement in the line titled “transaction and restructuring expenses”.

Note 6—Preferred Stock
On October 1, 2009, upon the closing of the Combination, all outstanding shares of our Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock, all of which were held by Ares, were converted into approximately 35,000 shares of our common stock and all authorized shares of Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock were cancelled. In addition, a warrant to purchase 7,500 shares of our common stock owned by Ares, with an exercise price of $6.00 per share and exercisable until 2018, was surrendered to us for cancellation upon the closing of the Combination in partial consideration for 1,000 shares of our common stock.
Note 7—Publicly Traded Warrants
In our initial public offering, we sold 31,250 units, each consisting of one share of our common stock and one warrant entitling the holder to purchase one share of our common stock at an exercise price of $6.00 per share.
The warrants became exercisable beginning on October 17, 2008 and will expire on October 17, 2011, unless redeemed earlier. Beginning October 17, 2008, we may redeem the warrants at a price of $0.01 per warrant upon a minimum of 30 days prior written notice of redemption if, and only if, the last sales price of our common stock equals or exceeds $11.50 per share for any 20 trading days within a 30 trading day period ending three business days before we send the notice of redemption.
During the three months and six months ended June 30, 2010, holders of our publicly traded warrants exercised 214 warrants for proceeds to us of $1,287 and 381 warrants for proceeds to us of $2,288, respectively. As of June 30, 2010 there were 7,329 warrants outstanding, including 30 warrants embedded in our outstanding units. During the six months ended June 30, 2010, we repurchased 2,271 warrants at $0.70 per warrant resulting in cash outflows of $1,608.
The exercise of our publicly traded warrants triggers certain pre-emptive rights held by the Participating Shareholders. Pursuant to their pre-emptive rights, upon the exercise of a publicly traded warrant, the Participating Shareholders have the right to purchase, for $6.00 per share, an aggregate number of shares of our common stock equal to 2.4364 multiplied by the number of shares issued upon exercise of the publicly traded warrants. These pre-emptive rights expire when the publicly traded warrants expire on October 17, 2011 and the number of shares that the Participating Shareholders may acquire upon exercise of their pre-emptive rights is reduced pro rata as the number of publicly traded warrants outstanding is reduced. During the six months ended June 30, 2010, the Participating Shareholders purchased 25 shares of our common stock pursuant to their pre-emptive rights for proceeds to us of $80. As of June 30, 2010, Stream had 7,329 publicly traded warrants outstanding, each to acquire a share of common stock at a cash exercise price of $6.00 per share that expire on October 17, 2011. In addition, as of June 30, 2010, pursuant to their pre-emptive rights, the Participating Shareholders may acquire up to an aggregate 17,856 shares.
Note 8—Restructuring Expenses
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, we recognized restructuring expenses for vacated facilities in of our foreign locations of $2,820 and $3,343. These amounts are reported within the caption “Transaction related and restructuring expenses” in our statement of operations.

Note 12—Long-Term Debt and Revolving Credit Facility
In October 2009, pursuant to an indenture, dated as of October 1, 2009 (the “Indenture”), among Stream, certain of our subsidiaries and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as trustee, we issued $200 million aggregate principal amount of 11.25% Senior Secured Notes due 2014 (the “Notes”) at an initial offering price of 95.454% of the principal amount, the proceeds of which were used to pay off the debt from our Fifth Amended and Restated Revolving Credit, Term Loan and Security Agreement, dated as of January 8, 2009, as amended (the “PNC Agreement”), with PNC Bank, National Association (“PNC”) and other signatories thereto along with debt acquired from EGS. In addition, we and certain of our subsidiaries (collectively, the “Borrowers”) entered into a credit agreement, dated as of October 1, 2009 (the “Credit Agreement”), with Wells Fargo Foothill, LLC, as agent and co-arranger, and Goldman Sachs Lending Partners LLC, as co-arranger, and each of the lenders party thereto, as lenders, providing for revolving credit financing (the “ABL Facility”) of up to $100 million, including a $20 million sub-limit for letters of credit. The ABL Facility has a maturity of four years. We capitalized fees of $7,552 and $3,631 associated with the Notes and the Credit Agreement, respectively, at the inception of these agreements that are being amortized over their respective lives. We amortized into expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, $559 and $1,046, respectively, of such capitalized fees.
The ABL facility has a fixed charge coverage ratio financial covenant that is operative when our availability under the facility is less than $20 million. At June 30, 2010 we have $60,361 available under the ABL Facility. We are in compliance with the financial covenants as of June 30, 2010. Substantially all of the assets of Stream excluding intangible assets secure the Notes and the ABL Facility. See Note 16 for Guarantor Financial Information.

We have $332 and $359 of restricted cash as of June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively.
Note 13—Income Taxes
We file income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various state and foreign tax jurisdictions. Currently, we are under audit for the 2007 tax year for EGS in the US federal jurisdiction. We operate in a number of international tax jurisdictions and are subject to audits of income tax returns by tax authorities in those jurisdictions. We have open audit periods after 2002 in India, the Philippines, Canada and Europe, including France, Italy, Ireland, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom.
As of June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the liability for unrecognized tax benefits (including interest and penalties) was $13,501 and $13,319, respectively, of which $12,115 and $11,975, respectively, was recorded within other long term liabilities in our consolidated financial statements. Included in these amounts is approximately $1,315 of unbenefitted tax losses which would be realized if the related uncertain tax positions were settled. As of December 31, 2009, we had reserved $2,472 for accrued interest and penalties, which had increased to $2,665 at June 30, 2010. We recognize accrued interest and penalties associated with uncertain tax positions as part of the tax provision. The total amount of net unrealized tax benefits that would affect the income tax expense, if ever recognized in our consolidated financial statements, is $12,926. This amount includes interest and penalties of $2,665. We estimate that within the next 12 months, our unrecognized tax benefits, and interest and penalties, could decrease as a result of settlements with taxing authorities or the expiration of the statute of limitations by $1,111 and $914, respectively.
Note 14—Stock Options
Our 2008 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) provides for the grant of incentive and nonqualified stock options, among other types of equity awards. The Plan allows us to grant equity awards for up to 10,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price not less than 100% of the fair value of the common stock at the date of grant. The Plan provides that equity awards shall be exercisable for a period not to exceed ten years from the grant date. During the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, we granted options to purchase 1,955 shares and 700 shares, respectively, of our common stock to our employees with an exercise price at the greater of $6.00 per share or the fair value of the underlying common stock at the date of grant. Generally, options vest over a five-year period. During the six months ended June 30, 2010, we granted Scott Murray, our founder, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, an option to purchase 1,000 shares of our common stock that is subject to a time-based vesting schedule and become exercisable under certain conditions. The option becomes exercisable upon our common stock closing price is at or above $10.60 for 60 consecutive trading days and our public float, excluding affiliates, equals or exceeds $300,000 or the affiliated stockholders have, in the aggregate sold 25% or more of their aggregate ownership as measured against their ownership as of November 10, 2009. We have used the Monte Carlo method to value this option. The accounting guidance requires us to recognize compensation expense related to options with market or performance conditions using an accelerated attribution method. The derived service period, as defined by the accounting guidance, was determined with the assistance of the valuation specialist and compensation expense will be recorded ratably for each tranche over the requisite service period.
Except for options to purchase 2,000 shares of our common stock held by Mr. Murray, the per share fair value of options granted was determined using the Black-Scholes-Merton model.

The following assumptions were used for the option grants in the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009:
Six months ended June 30, 2010 | Six months ended June 30, 2009 | |||||||
Option term (years) | 6.375 | 6.375 | ||||||
Volatility | 64%-68 | % | 43 | % | ||||
Risk-free interest rate | 2.42-3.06 | % | 1.91-2.83 | % | ||||
Dividend yield | 0 | % | 0 | % | ||||
Weighted-average grant date fair value per option granted | $ | 3.95 | $ | 1.23 |
The option term assumption was calculated under the simplified method for all option grants as we do not have a long history of granting options. We base the expected volatility assumption upon the weighted average of the historical volatilities for Stream and its peer group. The risk-free interest rate assumption was based upon the implied yields from the U.S. Treasury zero-coupon yield curve with a remaining term equal to the expected term of the options. The expected term of employee stock options granted was based on our estimated life of the options at the grant date.
A summary of the activity of our stock options under the Plan during the six months ended June 30, 2010 was as follows:
Number of options | Weighted Average Exercise Price | Weighted Average Fair Value | Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Term (Years) | |||||||||
Outstanding at December 31, 2009 | 6,978 | $ | 6.15 | 9.39 | ||||||||
Granted | 1,955 | 6.19 | $ | 3.95 | ||||||||
Exercised | (35 | ) | 6.00 | |||||||||
Forfeited or canceled | (868 | ) | 6.17 | |||||||||
Outstanding at June 30, 2010 | 8,030 | $ | 6.16 | $ | 9.09 |
As of June 30, 2010, stock options to purchase 1,060 shares were exercisable and such options had a weighted-average exercise of $6.09. The weighted average remaining contractual term of options currently exercisable is 8.69 years at June 30, 2010. The total fair value of options vested during the six months ended June 30, 2010 was $1,615. As of June 30, 2010 there were 5,578 options outstanding, vested, and expected to vest (including forfeiture adjusted unvested shares) with a weighted average exercise price of $6.15 and a weighted average remaining contractual term of 9.05 years.
For the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, we recognized net stock compensation expense of $1,124 and $79, respectively, for the stock options in the table above.
For the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, we recognized net stock compensation expense of $2,268 and $237, respectively, for the stock options in the table above.
As of June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the aggregate intrinsic value (i.e., the difference in the estimated fair value of our common stock and the exercise price to be paid by the option holder) of stock options outstanding, excluding the effects of expected forfeitures, was zero. The aggregate intrinsic value of exercisable shares at June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009 was zero. The intrinsic value of options exercised for the three months ended June 30, 2010 and June 30, 2009, was $19 and zero, respectively.
As of June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, there was $12,817 and $10,325, respectively, of unrecognized compensation cost related to the unvested portion of time-based arrangements granted under the Plan. That cost is expected to be recorded over a weighted-average period of 4.31 years from issue date.
Restricted stock award activity during the six months ended June 30, 2010 was as follows:
Number of Shares | Weighted average Grant-Date Fair Value | |||||
Outstanding at December 31, 2009 | 632 | $ | 6.28 | |||
Granted | 200 | 6.23 | ||||
Vested | (58 | ) | 6.14 | |||
Forfeited | (129 | ) | 6.35 | |||
Outstanding at June 30, 2010 | 645 | $ | 6.26 |

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
The following Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations should be read in conjunction with the accompanying consolidated financial statements for the periods specified and associated notes. This Report includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, made pursuant to the “safe harbor” provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 that relate to future events or our future financial performance. We have based these forward-looking statements on our current expectations and projections about future events. These forward-looking statements are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and assumptions about us that may cause our actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “may,” “should,” “could,” “would,” “expect,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “continue,” or the negative of such terms or other similar expressions. Factors that might cause or contribute to such a discrepancy include, but are not limited to, risks relating to our operation in, as well as entry into, new markets; changes in general economic and business conditions; fluctuations in foreign currency rates; sales volume, timing and lengthy sales cycles; our ability to make payments required under our outstanding indebtedness; delays in obtaining new clients or sales from existing clients; delays or interruptions of service as a result of power loss, fire, natural disasters, labor unrest, security breaches and other similar events; intense competition in the marketplace from competitors with greater financial resources; future acquisitions, joint ventures or other strategic investments; litigation and our ability to obtain necessary financing in the future, plus other risks detailed in our filings with the SEC, including those discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009 and our quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2010.
Overview
Stream Global Services, Inc. (“we”, “us”, “Stream”, or “SGS”) is a corporation organized under the laws of the State of Delaware. We were incorporated on June 26, 2007 as a blank check company for the purpose of acquiring, through a merger, capital stock exchange, asset or stock acquisition, exchangeable share transaction or other similar business combination, one or more domestic or international operating businesses. We consummated our initial public offering in October 2007, receiving total gross proceeds of $250 million, and in July 2008, we acquired Stream Holdings Corporation for $128 million (which reflected the $200 million purchase price less assumed indebtedness, transaction fees, employee transaction related bonuses, professional fees, stock option payments and payments for working capital).
In October 2009, pursuant to a Share Exchange Agreement, dated as of August 14, 2009 (“the Exchange Agreement”), among us, EGS Corp., a Philippine corporation (“EGS”), the parent company of eTelecare Global Solutions, Inc., a Philippine company (“eTelecare”), EGS Dutchco B.V., a corporation organized under the laws of the Netherlands (“Dutchco”), and NewBridge International Investment Ltd., a British Virgin Islands company (“NewBridge” and, together with Dutchco, the “EGS Stockholders”), we acquired EGS in a stock-for-stock exchange (the “Combination”). At the closing of the Combination (the “Closing”), we acquired all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of EGS (the “EGS Shares”) from the EGS Stockholders, and NewBridge and/or its affiliate contributed, and we accepted, the rights of such transferor with respect to approximately $35,841,000 in principal under a bridge loan of EGS (the “Bridge Loan”) in consideration for the issuance and delivery of an aggregate of 23,851,561 shares of our common stock and 9,800,000 shares of our non-voting common stock, and the payment of $9,990 in cash. Subsequent to the Closing, all of the 9,800,000 shares of non-voting common stock held by the EGS Stockholders were converted into shares of our voting common stock on a one-for-one basis. As of the Closing, the pre-Combination Stream stockholders and the EGS Stockholders owned approximately 57.5% and 42.5%, respectively, of the combined entity.
Immediately prior to the Closing, pursuant to a letter agreement, dated as of August 14, 2009, between us and Ares Corporate Opportunities Fund II, L.P. (“Ares”), all of the issued and outstanding shares of our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, $.001 par value per share (“Series A Preferred Stock”), and Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, $.001 par value per share (“Series B Preferred Stock”), all of which were held by Ares, were converted into 35,085,134 shares of our common stock. The Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock were subsequently cancelled. In addition, we purchased from Ares a warrant to purchase 7,500,000 shares of our common stock in consideration for the issuance to Ares of 1,000,000 shares of our common stock.
Also in October 2009, pursuant to an indenture, dated as of October 1, 2009 (the “Indenture”), among Stream, certain of our subsidiaries (the “Note Guarantors”) and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (“Wells Fargo”), as trustee, we issued $200 million aggregate principal amount of 11.25% Senior Secured Notes due 2014 (the “Notes”) at an initial offering price of 95.454% of the principal amount. In addition, we and certain of our subsidiaries entered into a credit agreement, dated as of October 1, 2009 (the “Credit Agreement”), with Wells Fargo Foothill, LLC, as agent and co-arranger, and Goldman Sachs Lending Partners LLC, as co-arranger, and each of the lenders party thereto, as lenders, providing for revolving credit financing (the “ABL Facility”) of up to $100 million, including a $20 million sub-limit for letters of credit. The ABL Facility has a term of four years.
We used the proceeds from the offering of the Notes, together with approximately $26.0 million of cash on hand, to repay all outstanding indebtedness under the Fifth Amended and Restated Revolving Credit, Term Loan and Security Agreement, dated as of January 8, 2009, as amended (the “PNC Agreement”), with PNC Bank, National Association and other parties thereto, the Bridge Loan, and to pay fees and expenses incurred in connection with the Combination, the Note offering and the ABL Facility.

Table of Contents
We are a leading global business process outsourcing (“BPO”) service provider specializing in customer relationship management (“CRM”) including sales, customer care and technical support for Fortune 1000 companies. Our clients include leading technology, computing, telecommunications, retail, entertainment/media, and financial services companies. Our service programs are delivered through a set of standardized best practices and sophisticated technologies by a highly skilled multilingual workforce capable of supporting over 35 languages across 50 locations in 22 countries. We continue to expand our global presence and service offerings to increase our client’s revenue, improve operational efficiencies and drive brand loyalty for our clients’ customers. As of June 30, 2010, we had over 30,000 employees worldwide.
We are subject to quarterly fluctuations in our revenues and earnings, based on the timing of new and expiring client programs and seasonality in certain client programs. From time to time clients seek to shift their CRM programs to lower cost locations, which may interrupt or decrease our results of operations as we seek to shift personnel to the lower cost off-shore locations resulting in less revenue but a higher gross margin percentage.
We bill monthly for our services in a variety of manners, including per minute, per contact, per hour and per full-time employee equivalent. Revenues also include reimbursement of certain expenses including telecom, training and miscellaneous costs for certain customers. A substantial amount of our operating costs is incurred in foreign currencies. In many cases, we bill our clients in U.S. Dollar, Canadian Dollar, Euro and U.K. pound sterling denominated amounts and incur costs in the host country in local currency.
A substantial portion of our costs are incurred and paid in Philippine pesos. Therefore, we are exposed to the risk of an increase in the value of the Philippine peso relative to the U.S. Dollar, which would increase the value of our expenses when measured in U.S. Dollars. We use derivatives to mitigate risk relating to the Canadian Dollar, the Indian rupee and the Philippine peso against the U.S. Dollar. For our EMEA region, we operate principally using the Euro and, accordingly, we are exposed to foreign currency translation impacts of the Euro to the U.S. Dollar.
Critical Accounting Policies
Use of Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States requires the appropriate application of accounting policies, many of which require management to make estimates and assumptions about future events and their impact on amounts reported in our consolidated financial statements and related notes. Since future events and their impact cannot be determined with certainty, the actual results may differ from estimates. Such differences may be material to the consolidated financial statements.
Equipment and Fixtures
Equipment and fixtures are recorded at cost and depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Furniture and fixtures are depreciated over a five-year life, software over a three- to five-year life and equipment generally over a three- to five-year life. Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the shorter of their estimated useful life or the remaining term of the associated lease. Assets held under capital leases are recorded at the lower of the net present value of the minimum lease payments or the fair value of the leased asset at the inception of the lease. Amortization expense is computed using the straight-line method over the shorter of the estimated useful lives of the assets or the period of the related lease and is recorded in depreciation and amortization expense. Repair and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred. We record all estimated asset retirement obligations at fair value that are associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets such as property and equipment when the long-lived asset is acquired, constructed, developed or through normal operations.
The carrying value of equipment and fixtures to be held and used is evaluated for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable in accordance with authoritative guidance. An asset is considered to be impaired when the sum of the undiscounted future net cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition proceeds do not exceed its carrying amount. The amount of the impairment loss, if any, is measured as the amount by which the carrying value of the asset exceeds its estimated fair value, which is generally determined based on appraisals or sales prices of comparable assets.
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
In accordance with authoritative guidance, goodwill is reviewed for impairment annually and on an interim basis if events or changes in circumstances between annual tests indicate that an asset might be impaired. Impairment occurs when the carrying amount of goodwill exceeds its estimated fair value. The impairment, if any, is measured based on the estimated fair value of the reporting unit. We operate in one reporting unit, which is the basis for our impairment testing and the allocation of acquired goodwill.
Intangible assets with a finite life are recorded at cost and amortized based upon their projected cash flows over their estimated useful life. Client lists and relationships are amortized over periods up to ten years, market value of the lease adjustments related to facility leases acquired in business combinations are amortized over the term of the respective leases and developed software is

amortized over five years. Brands and trademarks are not amortized as their life is indefinite. In accordance with authoritative guidance, indefinite lived intangible assets are reviewed for impairment annually and on an interim basis if events or changes in circumstances between annual tests indicate that an asset might be impaired.
The carrying value of intangibles is evaluated for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable in accordance with authoritative guidance. An asset is considered to be impaired when the sum of the undiscounted future net cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition does not exceed its carrying amount. The amount of the impairment loss, if any, is measured as the amount by which the carrying value of the asset exceeds its estimated fair value, which is generally determined based on appraisals, discounted cash flow analyses, or sales prices of comparable assets.
Stock-Based Compensation
For share-based payments, the fair value of each grant, including both time-based grants and performance-based grants, is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes-Merton option valuation model, with the exception of two grants to R. Scott Murray, our founder, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer that were valued using a Monte Carlo simulation and assumes the performance goals will be achieved. If such goals are not met, no compensation cost is recognized and any previously recognized cost is reversed. Stock compensation expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting term, net of an estimated future forfeiture rate. The forfeiture rate assumption (19.5% as of June 30, 2010 and 2009) is based on historical experience.
Income Taxes
We recognize income taxes in accordance with the authoritative guidance, which requires recognition of deferred assets and liabilities for the future income tax consequence of transactions that have been included in the consolidated financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes, and the amounts used for income tax, using the enacted tax rates for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. We provide valuation allowances against deferred tax assets whenever we believe it is more likely than not, based on available evidence, that deferred tax assets will not be realized. Further, we record liabilities for uncertainty in income tax positions if a tax position is evaluated by us to be more likely than not of being sustained on audit.
Contingencies
We consider the likelihood of loss contingencies, including non-income tax and legal contingencies arising in the ordinary course of business, and our ability to reasonably estimate the amount of loss in determining loss contingencies. An estimated loss contingency is accrued in accordance with the authoritative guidance, when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. We regularly evaluate current information available to determine whether such accruals should be adjusted.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In January 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued guidance to amend the disclosure requirements related to recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements. The guidance requires new disclosures on the transfers of assets and liabilities between Level 1 (quoted prices in active market for identical assets or liabilities) and Level 2 (significant other observable inputs) of the fair value measurement hierarchy, including the reasons and the timing of the transfers. Additionally, the guidance requires a roll forward of activities on purchases, sales, issuance, and settlements of the assets and liabilities measured using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3 fair value measurements). The guidance became effective for us with the reporting period beginning January 1, 2010. Other than requiring additional disclosures, adoption of this new guidance did not have a material impact on our financial statements.
In October 2009, the FASB issued guidance on revenue recognition that will become effective for us beginning January 1, 2011, with earlier adoption permitted. Under the new guidance, when vendor specific objective evidence or third party evidence for multi-element deliverables in an arrangement cannot be determined, a best estimate of the selling price is required to separate deliverables and allocate arrangement consideration using the relative selling price method. The new guidance includes new disclosure requirements on how the application of the relative selling price method affects the timing and amount of revenue recognition. We believe adoption of this new guidance will not have a material impact on our financial statements.

Revenues
We derive the majority of our revenues by providing CRM services such as technical support, sales and revenue generation services and customer care services. We bill monthly for our services in a variety of manners, including per minute, per contact, per hour and per full-time employee equivalent. Certain customer contracts contain provisions under which we can earn bonuses or pay penalties on a monthly basis based upon performance.
Direct Cost of Revenue
We record the costs specifically associated with client billable programs associated with a statement of work as direct cost of revenues. These costs include direct labor wages and benefits of service agents in our call centers as well as reimbursable expenses such as telecommunication charges. The most significant portion of our direct cost of revenue is attributable to employee compensation, benefits and payroll taxes. These costs are expensed as they are incurred. Direct costs are affected by prevailing wage rates in the countries in which they are incurred and are subject to the effects of foreign currency fluctuations.
Selling, general and administrative expenses
Our selling, general and administrative expenses consist of all expenses of operations other than direct costs of revenue, such as information technology, telecommunications, sales and marketing costs, finance, human resource management and other functions and service center operational expenses such as facilities, operations and training.
Transaction related and restructuring expense
Our transaction related and restructuring expenses include one-time or non-recurring expenses. These expenses generally include expenses related to acquisitions and expenses related to exiting leased facilities.

Other Income and Expenses
Other income and expenses consists of the foreign currency transaction gains or losses, other income, interest income and interest expense. Interest expense includes interest expense and amortization of debt issuance costs associated with our indebtedness under our credit lines, term loans, and capitalized lease obligations.
We generate revenue and incur expenses in several different currencies. We do not operate in any countries subject to hyper-inflationary accounting treatment. Our most common transaction currencies are the U.S. Dollar, the Euro, the Canadian Dollar, the British Pound, Philippine Peso and the Indian Rupee. Our customers are most commonly billed in the U.S. Dollar or the Euro. We translate our results from functional currencies to U.S. Dollars using the average exchange rates in effect during the accounting period.
Results of Operations
Three months ended June 30, 2010 compared with three months ended June 30, 2009
Revenues. Revenues increased $58.2 million, or 46.3%, to $183.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010, compared to $125.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009. The increase is primarily attributable to the acquisition of EGS on October 1, 2009 and the inclusion of the EGS business (“Legacy EGS”). Partially offsetting the increased revenue was a decrease to revenue of $1.5 million resulting from the changes in foreign currencies, principally the Euro and Canadian Dollar, and a decline in customer volumes for a few of our key clients.
Revenues for services performed in our United States and Canadian service centers increased $22.0 million, or 44.0%, for the three months ended June 30, 2010, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2009, as a result of the acquisition of EGS on October 1, 2009 and the inclusion of the Legacy EGS results. Revenues for services performed in European service centers decreased $13.0 million, or 28.0%, for the three months ended June 30, 2010, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2009. This decrease is attributable to decreased volumes from existing clients and increased offshore business in Tunisia and Cairo, which is billed at a lower price point. Revenues for services performed in offshore service centers in the Philippines, India, El Salvador, Costa Rica, the Dominican Republic, Tunisia and Cairo increased $46.0 million, or 157%, for the three months ended June 30, 2010, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2009 due to the acquisition of EGS on October 1, 2009 and the inclusion of the Legacy EGS results in 2010. Revenues in our offshore service centers represented 42.7% of consolidated revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2010, compared to 23.3% in the same period in 2009.
Direct Cost of Revenue. Direct cost of revenue (exclusive of depreciation and amortization) increased $37.6 million, or 51.2%, to $111.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010, compared to $73.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009. The increase is primarily attributable to the acquisition of EGS on October 1, 2009 and the inclusion of the Legacy EGS results in the second quarter of 2010. In the three months ended June 30, 2009 Legacy EGS direct cost of revenue was $37.6 million.
Gross Profit. Gross profit increased $20.6 million, or 39.4%, to $72.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010 from $52.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009. The increase is primarily attributable to the acquisition of EGS on October 1, 2009 and the inclusion of the Legacy EGS results in 2010. Gross profit as a percentage of revenue decreased from 41.6% to 39.6% for the three months ended June 30, 2010, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2009. Gross profit percentage decreased primarily due to reductions in planned call volume for a few of our key clients, costs incurred for ramping new business, higher percentage of onshore versus offshore business mix, and staffing and attrition related to lower than forecasted volumes and new business ramps.
Operating Expenses. Operating expenses increased $34.8 million, or 70.9%, to $83.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010, compared to $49.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009. The increase is primarily attributable to the acquisition of EGS on October 1, 2009 and the inclusion of the Legacy EGS results in 2010. Selling, general and administrative expense grew from $42.2 million to $64.5 million, or 52.8%. Depreciation and amortization increased $9.6 million as a result of the inclusion of the Legacy EGS results in 2010, and increased amortization associated with the intangibles acquired in the EGS acquisition. Operating expenses as a percentage of revenues increased to 45.6% for the three months ended June 30, 2010 compared to 39.1% for the three months ended June 30, 2009 primarily as a result of increased amortization of intangible assets related to the acquisition of EGS.
Other (Income) Expenses, Net. Other (income) expenses, net increased $5.3 million, or 154.3%, to $8.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010, compared to $3.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009. This increase is primarily due to increased interest expense from our issuance of $200 million of Senior Secured Notes of $5.4.
Provision for Income Taxes. Income taxes decreased $0.4 million, or 18.2%, to $1.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010, compared to $2.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009. Foreign tax expense comprised $1.7 million and $2.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. For the three months ended June 30, 2010, our reported income tax expense represents taxes incurred for our operations in foreign jurisdictions; for our U.S. tax jurisdiction where we operated at a loss for tax purposes, we recorded no income tax expense or benefit. We operate in a number of countries outside the U.S. that are generally taxed at lower statutory rates than the U.S. and also benefit from tax holidays. The addition of the EGS Philippines entities, for which we benefit from tax holidays, contributed to the reduction in the foreign tax rate compared to the same period in 2009.

Six months ended June 30, 2010 compared with six months ended June 30, 2009
Revenues. Revenues increased $119.2 million, or 45.6%, to $380.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010, compared to $261.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009. The increase is primarily attributable to the acquisition of EGS on October 1, 2009 and the inclusion of the EGS business prior to its acquisition by Stream (“Legacy EGS”). For the six months ended June 30, 2010 revenue improved by $3.0 million as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2009 due to the translation of local currencies to U.S. Dollar.
Revenues for services performed in our United States and Canadian service centers increased $39.7 million, or 37.0%, for the six months ended June 30, 2010, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2009, as a result of the acquisition of EGS on October 1, 2009 and the inclusion of the Legacy EGS results. Revenues for services performed in European service centers decreased $23.0 million, or 24.3%, for the six months ended June 30, 2010, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2009. This decrease is attributable to decreased volumes from existing clients and increased offshore business in Tunisia and Cairo. Revenues for services performed in offshore service centers in the Philippines, India, El Salvador, Costa Rica, the Dominican Republic, Tunisia and Cairo increased $95.6 million, or 162.0%, for the six months ended June 30, 2010, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2009 due to the acquisition of EGS on October 1, 2009 and the inclusion of the Legacy EGS results in 2010. Revenues in our offshore service centers represented 42.4% of consolidated revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2010, compared to 22.6% in the same period in 2009.
Direct Cost of Revenue. Direct cost of revenue (exclusive of depreciation and amortization) increased $71.8 million, or 47.2%, to $223.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010, compared to $152.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009. The increase is primarily attributable to the acquisition of EGS on October 1, 2009 and the inclusion of the Legacy EGS results in 2010.
Gross Profit. Gross profit increased $47.3 million, or 43.3%, to $156.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010 from $109.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009. The increase is primarily attributable to the acquisition of EGS on October 1, 2009 and the inclusion of the Legacy EGS results in 2010. Gross profit as a percentage of revenue decreased from 41.8% to 41.2% for the six months ended June 30, 2010, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2009. Gross profit percentage decreased primarily due to reductions in planned call volume for a few of our key clients, costs incurred for ramping new business, higher percentage of onshore versus offshore business mix, and staffing and attrition related to lower than forecasted volumes and new business ramps.
Operating Expenses. Operating expenses increased $71.2 million, or 71.7%, to $170.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010, compared to $99.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009. The increase is primarily attributable to the acquisition of EGS on October 1, 2009 and the inclusion of the Legacy EGS results in 2010. Selling, general and administrative expense grew from $85.7 million to $133.7 million, or 56.0%. Depreciation and amortization increased $19.4 million as a result of the inclusion of the Legacy EGS results in 2010, and increased amortization associated with the intangibles acquired in the EGS acquisition. Operating expenses as a percentage of revenues increased to 44.8% for the six months ended June 30, 2010 compared to 38.0% for the six months ended June 30, 2009 primarily as a result of increased amortization of intangible assets related to the acquisition of EGS.
Other (Income) Expenses, Net. Other (income) expenses, net increased $9.1 million, or 165.5%, to $14.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010, compared to $5.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009. This increase is primarily due to increased interest expense from our issuance of $200 million of senior secured notes of $10.1 million.
Provision for Income Taxes. Income taxes decreased $1.7 million, or 32.1%, to $3.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010, compared to $5.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009. Foreign tax expense comprised $3.4 million and $5.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2010, our reported income tax expense represents taxes incurred for our operations in foreign jurisdictions; for our U.S. tax jurisdiction where we operated at a loss for tax purposes, we recorded no income tax expense or benefit. We operate in a number of countries outside the U.S. that are generally taxed at lower statutory rates than the U.S. and also benefit from tax holidays. The addition of the EGS Philippines entities, for which we benefit from tax holidays, contributed to the reduction in the foreign tax rate compared to the same period in 2009.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our primary liquidity needs are for financing working capital associated with the expenses we incur in performing services under our client contracts and capital expenditures for the opening of new service centers, including the purchase of computers and related equipment. We have in place a credit facility that consists of a revolving line of credit that allows us to better manage our cash flows. Our ability to make payments on the credit facility, to repay our-long term indebtedness, and to fund working capital and planned capital expenditures will depend on our ability to generate cash in the future. We have secured our working capital facility through our accounts receivable and therefore, our ability to continue servicing debt is dependent upon the amount of and the timely collection of accounts receivables.
We made capital expenditures of $6.5 million in the six months ended June 30, 2010 as compared to $10.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009. We continue to make capital expenditures to build new service centers and renovate existing centers,

meet new contract requirements and maintain and upgrade our technology. We expect to continue to expand into new facilities in 2010. We also expect to invest in technology initiatives such as unified communications and enabling technology, business continuity and data security, web-based solutions and applications and distributed collaboration networking. The convergence of voice and data as well as the demand for real time diagnostics and analytics by our clients are requiring us to make substantial future investments in technology and solutions that will require additional capital investments.
On October 1, 2009, we issued $200 million aggregate principal amount of 11.25% Senior Secured Notes due 2014. The Notes were issued pursuant to the Indenture, among us, the Note Guarantors, and Wells Fargo, as trustee. The Notes were issued by us at an initial offering price of 95.454% of the principal amount. The Indenture contains restrictions on our ability to incur additional secured indebtedness under certain circumstances.
The Notes mature on October 1, 2014. The Notes bear interest at a rate of 11.25% per annum. Interest on the Notes is computed on the basis of a 360-day year composed of twelve 30-day months and is payable semi-annually on April 1 and October 1 of each year, beginning on April 1, 2010.
The obligations under the Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, by the Note Guarantors and will be so guaranteed by any future domestic subsidiaries of ours, subject to certain exceptions.
The Notes and the Note Guarantors’ guarantees of the Notes are secured by senior liens on our and the Guarantors’ Primary Notes Collateral and by junior liens on our and the Guarantors’ Primary ABL Collateral (each as defined in the Indenture).
On October 1, 2009, we, Stream Holdings Corporation, Stream International, Inc., Stream New York, Inc., eTelecare Global Solutions-US, Inc., eTelecare Global Solutions-AZ, Inc. and Stream International Europe B.V. (collectively, the “U.S. Borrowers”), and SGS Netherland Investment Corporation B.V., Stream International Service Europe B.V., and Stream International Canada Inc., (collectively, the “Foreign Borrowers” and together with the U.S. Borrowers, the “Borrowers”), entered into the Credit Agreement, with Wells Fargo Foothill, LLC, as agent and co-arranger, Goldman Sachs Lending Partners LLC, as co-arranger, and each of the lenders party thereto, as lenders, providing for the ABL Credit Facility of up to $100.0 million, including a $20.0 million sub-limit for letters of credit, in each case, with certain further sub-limits for certain Foreign Borrowers. The ABL Credit Facility has a term of four years.
In the six months ended June 30, 2010 we received $2.3 million from the exercise of our publicly held warrants and $0.3 million from proceeds from issuance of common stock related to the exercise of pre-emptive rights and stock options. In the six months ended June 30, 2010 we repurchased 2.3 million warrants at a price of $0.70 per warrant for total cash outflows of $1.6 million.
Letters of Credit. We have certain standby letters of credit for the benefit of landlords of certain sites in the United States and Canada. As of June 30, 2010, we had approximately $8.6 million of these letters of credit in place under our ABL Credit Facility.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.
We are exposed to a variety of market risks, including the effects of changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. Market risk is the potential loss arising from adverse changes in market rates and prices. Our risk management strategy includes the use of derivative instruments to reduce the effects on our operating results and cash flows from fluctuations caused by volatility in currency exchange and interest rates. In using derivative financial instruments to hedge exposures to changes in exchange rates, we have exposure to counterparty credit risk.
Interest Rate Risk
We are exposed to interest rate risk primarily through our debt facilities since some of those instruments, including capital leases, bear interest at variable rates. At June 30, 2010, we had outstanding borrowings under variable debt agreements that totaled approximately $7.0 million. A hypothetical 1.0% increase in the interest rate would have increased interest expense by approximately $0.1 million and would have decreased annual cash flow by a comparable amount. The carrying amount of our borrowings reflects fair value due to their short-term and variable interest rate features.
There were no outstanding interest rate swaps covering interest rate exposure at June 30, 2010.
Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk
We serve many of our U.S.-based clients using our service centers in Canada, India, the Dominican Republic, El Salvador, Egypt, the Philippines, Nicaragua and Costa Rica. Although the contracts with these clients are typically priced in U.S. Dollars, a substantial portion of the costs incurred to render services under these contracts are denominated in the local currency of the country

in which the contracts are serviced which creates foreign exchange exposure. We serve most of our EMEA based clients using our service centers in the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, Italy, Ireland, Spain, Sweden, France, Germany, Poland, Denmark, Bulgaria, Egypt, Tunisia and South Africa. We typically bill our EMEA based clients in Euro or British Pound Sterling. While a substantial portion of the costs incurred to render services under these contracts are denominated in Euro, a part is also denominated in the local currency in which the contracts are serviced which creates foreign exchange exposure.
The expenses from these foreign operations create exposure to changes in exchange rates between the local currencies and the contractual currencies. As a result, we may experience foreign currency gains and losses, which may positively or negatively affect our results of operations attributed to these subsidiaries. The majority of this exposure is related to work performed from call centers in Canada, India and the Philippines. In addition, our reported results reflect the foreign currency translation of results of our subsidiaries in foreign locales to the U.S. Dollar. Our material exposure is the conversion of the Euro to the U.S. Dollar. For the first half of 2009 and 2010, the Euro was constant and averaged 1.33, and accordingly, our Euro denominated revenue and expense was not impacted by the underlying currency.
In order to manage the risk of these foreign currencies from strengthening against the currency used for billing, which thereby decreases the economic benefit of performing work in these countries, we may hedge a portion, though not 100%, of these foreign currency exposures. While our hedging strategy may protect us from adverse changes in foreign currency rates in the short term, an overall strengthening of the foreign currencies would adversely impact margins over the long term.

Cash Flow Hedging Program
Substantially all of our subsidiaries use the local currency as their functional currency as a result of paying labor and operating costs in those local currencies. Certain of our subsidiaries in the Philippines use the U.S. Dollar as their functional currency while paying their labor and operating cost in local currency. Conversely, revenue for most of these foreign subsidiaries is derived principally from client contracts that are invoiced and collected in U.S. Dollars and other foreign currencies. To mitigate against the risk of principally a weaker U.S. Dollar we purchase forward exchange contracts to acquire the local currency of the foreign subsidiary at a fixed exchange rate at specific dates in the future. We have designated and account for certain of these derivative instruments as cash flow hedges as defined by the authoritative guidance.
Given the significance of our foreign operations and the potential volatility of the certain of these currencies versus the U.S. Dollar, we use forward purchases of Philippine peso, Canadian Dollars, Euros and Indian rupees to minimize the impact of currency fluctuations. As of June 30, 2010, we had entered into forward contracts with three financial institutions to acquire the following currencies:
Currency | Notional Value | USD Equivalent | Highest Rate | Lowest Rate | ||||
Philippine Peso | 4,473,700 | 93,528 | 50.49 | 45.58 | ||||
Canadian Dollar | 40,600 | 39,282 | 1.0706 | 1.0102 | ||||
Indian Rupee | 205,000 | 4,485 | 45.86 | 45.50 | ||||
Euro | 9,000 | 10,988 | 1.2209 | 1.2209 |
While we have implemented certain strategies to mitigate risks related to the impact of fluctuations in currency exchange rates, we cannot ensure that we will not recognize gains or losses from international transactions, as this is part of transacting business in an international environment. Not every exposure is or can be hedged and, where hedges are put in place based on expected foreign exchange exposure, they are based on forecasts for which actual results may differ from the original estimate. Failure to successfully hedge or anticipate currency risks properly could affect our consolidated operating results.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
Our management, with the participation of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2010. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, 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. Based on the evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2010, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.
No change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) occurred during the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2010 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

We operate in a rapidly changing environment that involves a number of risks, some of which are beyond our control. In addition to the other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009 and our quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2010 which could have a material effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and/or liquidity and that could cause operating results to vary significantly from period to period. As of June 30, 2010, there have been no material changes to the risk factors disclosed in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009 and our quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2010, although we may disclose changes to such factors or disclose additional factors from time to time in our future filings with the SEC. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition or operating results.
ITEM 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities
During the second quarter of 2010, our Compensation Committee approved the payment of applicable tax withholding on the vesting of shares of restricted stock held by certain members of our senior management team through the surrender by such shareholders and the repurchase by us of that number of the vested shares equal to the total tax withholding obligations divided by the fair market value of our common stock on the trading day preceding the vesting date. Such repurchases by us were not made pursuant to a publicly announced repurchase program. The aggregate number of shares repurchased by us from such executives is set forth in the table below.
Period | (a) Total Number of Shares Purchased | (b) Average Price Paid per Share | (c) Total Number of Shares Purchased as Part of Publicly Announced Plans or Programs | (d) Maximum Number of Shares that may yet be Purchased under the Plan or Program | |||||
April 2010 (April 1, 2010 – April 30, 2010) | 3,795 | $ | 5.40 | — | — | ||||
