Overview

We are a holding company and conduct substantially all of our business operations through our subsidiaries. We are an international provider of business process outsourcing services, referred to as BPO, primarily focused on accounts receivable management, referred to as ARM, and customer relationship management, referred to as CRM, serving a wide range of clients in North America and abroad through our global network of over 100 offices.

Historically, our Portfolio Management business, which was previously a separate reporting unit, participated in the purchased accounts receivable business on an opportunistic basis. Beginning in 2009, we significantly reduced our purchases of accounts receivable and made a decision to minimize further investments in the future, as further discussed below. This decision resulted from declines in liquidation rates, competition for purchased accounts receivable and the continued uncertainty of collectability.

In April and August 2011, our Portfolio Management segment sold portfolios of purchased accounts receivable with an aggregate book value of $18.8 million. This book value includes the impact of write-downs of the value of the purchased accounts receivable of $18.6 million recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2011, and $10.8 million recorded during the three months ended June 30, 2011, which were recorded in connection with the dispositions.

Subsequent to the August sale, which constituted a significant portion of Portfolio Management's remaining purchased accounts receivable portfolio, the results of the Portfolio Management business are presented as discontinued operations on the consolidated statements of operations and statements of cash flows, and prior periods have been restated. The remaining portfolios of purchased accounts receivable are not significant and are now included as part of ARM.

We currently operate our business in two segments: ARM and CRM.

During 2010, we generated approximately 65% of our ARM revenue from the recovery of delinquent accounts receivable on a contingency fee basis. Our ARM contingency fees range from approximately five percent for the management of accounts placed early in the accounts

receivable cycle to approximately 50% for accounts that have been serviced extensively by the client or by third-party providers. Our average fee for ARM contingency-based revenue across all industries was approximately 17% during 2010, 18% during 2009 and 17% during 2008. In addition, we generate revenue from certain contractual ARM services. Generally, revenue is earned and recognized upon collection of accounts receivable for contingency fee services and as work is performed for contractual services. We enter into contracts with most of our clients that define, among other things, fee arrangements, scope of services, and termination provisions. Clients typically have the right to terminate their contracts on 30 or 60 days' notice. Approximately 35% of our ARM revenue is generated from contractual collection services, where fees are based on a monthly rate or a per service charge, and other ARM services.

During 2010, approximately 95% of our CRM revenue was generated from inbound services, which consist primarily of customer service and technical support programs, and to a lesser extent acquisition and retention services. Inbound services involve the processing of incoming calls, often placed by our clients' customers using toll-free numbers, to a customer service representative for service, order fulfillment or information. During 2010, outbound services, which consist of customer acquisition and customer retention services, represented approximately five percent of our CRM revenue.

Our operating costs consist principally of payroll and related costs; selling, general and administrative costs; and depreciation and amortization. Payroll and related expenses consist of wages and salaries, commissions, bonuses, and benefits for all of our employees, including management and administrative personnel. Selling, general and administrative expenses include telephone, postage and mailing costs, outside collection attorneys and other third-party collection services providers, and other collection costs, as well as expenses that directly support operations, including facility costs, equipment maintenance, sales and marketing, data processing, professional fees, and other management costs. Our payroll and related expenses may increase or decrease due to changes in the value of the U.S. dollar against the Canadian dollar and the Philippine peso.

Due to the expected prolonged impact of the economic environment on the Company's clients' business in 2011 and beyond, in the fourth quarter of 2010 we reduced our budgeted volumes from certain of our clients in the CRM reporting unit. As a result, our 2010 annual impairment test for goodwill indicated that the carrying value of the CRM reporting unit exceeded its fair value and we recorded goodwill impairment charges of $57.0 million in the CRM segment in 2010. We recorded goodwill impairment charges of $24.8 million in the CRM segment in 2009, and in 2008 we recorded goodwill impairment charges of $120.0 million and trade name impairment charges of $5.0 million across all segments.

During the fourth quarter of 2010, we identified $58.3 million of reimbursable costs and fees received from clients associated with certain contractual arrangements acquired in connection with the acquisition of TSYS Total Debt Management that were incorrectly recorded on a net basis, as an offset to selling, general and administrative expenses. Revenue should have included these reimbursable costs and fees, with an equal and offsetting amount charged to operating expenses, due to the fact that we acted as principal and assumed overall risk in the transactions under these contractual arrangements. The adjustment was made in the fourth quarter of 2010 and reflected in the statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2010. The adjustment was not material to the previously issued financial statements. Revenue and operating expenses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 were revised to reflect the reimbursable costs and fees in both revenue and operating expenses in the statement of operations.

The challenging economic environment in the U.S. has impacted our business over the course of 2009 and 2010, continuing into the first nine months of 2011. Factors such as reduced availability of credit for consumers, a depressed real estate market, high unemployment and other factors have had a negative impact on the ability and willingness of consumers to pay their debts and a negative impact on our clients' businesses, which has adversely affected our results of operations, collections and revenue.

Further changes to the economic conditions in the U.S., either positive or negative, could have a significant impact on our business, including, but not limited to:

•: further impairment charges to our goodwill, trade name and other intangible assets;
•: fluctuations in the volume of placements of accounts and the collectability of those accounts for our ARM contingency fee based services;
•: volume fluctuations in our ARM fixed fee based services; and
•: volume fluctuations in our CRM services.

We have grown through both acquisitions as well as internal growth. The following table lists the companies we have acquired in the past three years (purchase price in millions):

Date	Acquired Company	Description	Purchase Price

May 2011	Protocol Direct Marketing, Inc.	Provider of BPO Solutions	$	23.9
September 2010	Health Blueprints, Inc.	Healthcare Consulting		1.6
August 2009	TSYS Total Debt Management ("TDM")	Attorney network receivables management		4.5
May 2009	Complete Credit Management, Ltd.	Receivables management in the U.K.		0.7
February 2008	Outsourcing Solutions, Inc. ("OSI")	Receivables management		334.0
January 2008	Systems & Services Technologies, Inc. ("SST")	Active account servicing		18.4
2008	Various international companies	Receivables management		9.3

In October 2009, we sold our print and mail business for approximately $18.7 million in cash.

Prior to the acquisition of SST on January 2, 2008, SST was a wholly owned subsidiary of JPMorgan Chase & Co., referred to as JPM. JPM also controls OEP, which has had a controlling interest in us since our "going-private" transaction on November 15, 2006, referred to as the 2006 Transaction. Transfers of net assets or exchanges of equity interests between entities under common control are accounted for similar to the pooling-of-interests method ("as-if pooling-of-interests") in that the entity that receives the net assets or the equity interests initially recognizes the assets and liabilities transferred at their carrying amounts in the accounts of the transferring entity at the date of transfer. Because NCO and SST were under common control at the time of the SST acquisition, the transfer of assets and liabilities of SST were accounted for at historical cost in a manner similar to a pooling of interests. For financial accounting purposes, the acquisition was viewed as a change in reporting entity and, as a result, required restatement of our financial statements for all periods subsequent to November 15, 2006, the date of the 2006 Transaction and the date at which common control of NCO and SST by JPM commenced.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

General

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and the accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. We believe the following accounting policies and estimates are the most critical

and could have the most impact on our results of operations. For a discussion of these and other accounting policies, see note 2 in our Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this offering memorandum.

As a result of the 2006 Transaction, the majority of our assets and liabilities were adjusted to their fair value as of the date of the 2006 Transaction. We made significant assumptions in determining the fair value of intangible assets and other assets and liabilities in connection with purchase accounting. Additionally, a portion of the equity related to our management stockholders was recorded at the stockholder's predecessor basis and a corresponding portion of the acquired assets was reduced accordingly.

Goodwill, Other Intangible Assets and Purchase Accounting

Assets acquired and liabilities assumed must be recorded at their fair value at the date of acquisition. Our balance sheet includes amounts designated as "Goodwill", "Trade name" and "Customer relationships and other intangible assets." Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net assets of acquired businesses. Trade name represents the fair value of the NCO name. Other intangible assets consist primarily of customer relationships, which represent the information and regular contact we have with our clients, and non-compete agreements.

As of December 31, 2010, our balance sheet included goodwill, trade name and other intangibles that represented 38.8%, 6.7% and 15.8% of total assets, respectively, and 597.9%, 103.9% and 242.6% of stockholders' equity, respectively. As of September 30, 2011, our balance sheet included goodwill, trade name and other intangibles that represented 43.4%, 7.4% and 13.5% of total assets, respectively.

Goodwill and trade name are tested for impairment at least annually and as triggering events occur. The test for impairment is performed at the reporting unit level and involves a two-step approach, the first step identifies any potential impairment and the second step measures the amount of the impairment, if applicable. The first test for potential impairment compares the fair value of a reporting unit's goodwill to its carrying amount. If the fair value is less than the carrying amount, the reporting unit's goodwill would be considered impaired and we could be required to take a charge to earnings, which could be material.

Fair values are determined by using a combination of the market approach and income approach. Our fair value calculations are based on projected financial results that are prepared in connection with our annual budget and forecasting process. The fair value calculations are also based on other assumptions including long-term growth rates and weighted average cost of capital. For 2010, 2009 and 2008, the fair value calculations assumed long-term growth rates of 3%, 3% and 4%, respectively, and weighted average cost of capital ranging from approximately 14% to 18%, 13% to 14%, and 13% to 14%, respectively.

Due to the expected impact of the economic environment on our clients' business in 2011 and beyond, in the fourth quarter of 2010 we reduced the budgeted volumes from certain of our clients in the CRM reporting unit. As a result, our 2010 annual impairment test for goodwill indicated that the carrying value of our CRM reporting unit exceeded its fair value. Due to similar circumstances, our 2009 annual impairment test for goodwill indicated that the carrying value of our CRM reporting unit exceeded its fair value. Late in 2008, our ARM and Portfolio Management reporting units experienced a significant reduction in the collectability of both customer-placed and purchased accounts receivable resulting from deteriorating economic conditions. Due to the expected impact of the economic environment, we reduced our 2009 budgeted expectations for each of our reporting units. As a result, our 2008 annual impairment test for goodwill and trade name indicated that the carrying values of all of our reporting units exceeded their fair values.

As a result of the annual impairment testing, we recorded goodwill impairment charges of $57.0 million and $24.8 million in the CRM reporting unit in 2010 and 2009, respectively. We were not required to record any trade name impairment charges in 2010 or 2009. We recorded total goodwill impairment charges of $120.0 million and total trade name impairment charges of $5.0 million across all reporting units in 2008.

We make significant assumptions to estimate the future revenue and cash flows used to determine the fair value of our reporting units. These assumptions include future growth rates, profitability, discount factors, market comparables, future tax rates, and other factors. Variations in any of these assumptions could result in materially different calculations of impairment amounts. If the expected revenue and cash flows are not realized, additional impairment losses may be recorded in the future.

We periodically evaluate the net realizable value of identifiable definite-lived intangible assets for impairment, based on the estimated undiscounted future cash flows, whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable.

During 2009, we began to reduce our purchases of portfolios of accounts receivable and made a decision to minimize further investments in purchased accounts receivable in the future. This decision resulted primarily from the continuation of the difficult collection environment, the competitive market for portfolio investments, as well as potential regulatory changes affecting the purchased accounts receivable business. As a result of this decision, in 2009 we recorded an impairment charge of $5.3 million for the Portfolio Management reporting unit's customer relationship intangible assets.

Income Taxes

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized using enacted tax rates for the effect of temporary differences between the book and tax bases of recorded assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance, if it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. Deferred taxes have not been provided on the cumulative undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries because such amounts are expected to be reinvested indefinitely.

In assessing the realization of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible or the net operating losses can be utilized. As a result of incurring cumulative losses over the past several years, we have provided for a full valuation allowance of $86.5 million on the total federal and certain state and foreign net deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2010. In addition, a valuation allowance of $24.2 million has been provided on a portion of deferred tax assets relating to certain foreign and state net operating losses and state tax credit carryforwards based on management's assessment that it is more likely than not that such amounts will not be realized. This represents a total increase in the valuation allowance of $42.3 million over the prior year, due primarily to an increase in federal and certain state net deferred tax assets and additional state and foreign net operating losses in 2010. The utilization of net operating loss carryforwards and tax credits is an estimate based on a number of factors beyond our control, including the level of taxable income available from successful operations in the future.

Our annual provision for income taxes and the determination of the resulting deferred tax assets and liabilities involve a significant amount of judgment and are based on the latest information available at the time. We are subject to audit within the federal, state and

international taxing jurisdictions, and these audits can involve complex issues that may require an extended period of time to resolve. We maintain reserves for estimated tax exposures, which are ultimately settled primarily through the settlement of audits within these tax jurisdictions, changes in applicable tax law, or other factors. We believe that an appropriate liability has been established for financial statement purposes; however, actual results may differ from these estimates.

As of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 and 2009, we had $12.3 million, $11.1 million and $12.7 million, respectively, in reserves for uncertain tax positions, including penalties, that, if recognized, would affect the effective tax rate. We recognize interest related to uncertain tax positions in interest expense. As of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 and 2009, we had approximately $4.8 million, $4.0 million and $4.5 million, respectively, of accrued interest related to uncertain tax positions. We recognize penalties related to uncertain tax positions in the provision for income taxes. As of September 30, 2011, December 31, 2010 and 2009, we had accrued penalties related to uncertain tax positions of $1.3 million, $1.1 million and $1.0 million, respectively.

We are subject to federal, state and foreign income tax audits from time to time that could result in proposed assessments. We cannot predict with certainty how these audits will be resolved and whether we will be required to make additional tax payments, which may or may not include penalties and interest. As of June 30, 2011, we are no longer subject to federal income tax examinations for years prior to 2006. For most states and foreign countries where we conduct business, we are subject to examination for the preceding three to six years. In certain states and foreign countries, the period could be longer.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

Allowances for doubtful accounts are determined based on estimates of losses related to customer receivable balances. In establishing the appropriate provision for customer receivables balances, we make assumptions with respect to their future collectability. Our assumptions are based on an individual assessment of a customer's credit quality as well as subjective factors and trends, including the aging of receivable balances. Generally, these individual credit assessments occur at regular reviews during the life of the exposure and consider factors such as a customer's ability to meet and sustain their financial commitments, a customer's current financial condition and historical payment patterns. Our level of reserves for our customer accounts receivable fluctuates depending upon all of the factors mentioned above, in addition to any contractual rights that allow us to reduce outstanding receivable balances through the application of future collections. If our estimate is not sufficient to cover actual losses, we would be required to take additional charges to our earnings.

Results of Operations

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2011 Compared to Nine Months Ended September 30, 2010

Revenue.(Dollars in thousands):

		For the Nine Months Ended September 30,

		2011		% of Revenue			2010		% of Revenue			$ Change			% Change
ARM		$	916,023		79.7	%	$	977,483		82.4	%	$	(61,460	)		(6.3	)%
CRM			234,857		20.3	%		208,568		17.6	%		26,289			12.6	%

	Total	$	1,150,880		100.0	%	$	1,186,051		100.0	%	$	(35,171	)		(3.0	)%

The decrease in ARM's revenue was primarily attributable to lower volumes in the first-party and third-party collections business during 2011, attributable to the impact of the economy on our clients' business. ARM's revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 included $247.6 million and $257.7 million, respectively, of reimbursable costs and fees (discussed in more detail below). ARM's revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 also included net impairments of $4.3 million and net recoveries of impairments of $2.1 million, respectively, related to the portfolios of purchased accounts receivable that were not sold.

The increase in CRM's revenue was primarily due to the acquisition of Protocol in May 2011, which contributed $23.0 million of revenue, as well as increased client volume related to the implementation of new contracts during 2011, partially offset by lower volumes from certain existing clients attributable to the impact of the economy on the clients' business.

Payroll and related expenses.(Dollars in thousands):

		For the Nine Months Ended September 30,

		2011		% of Revenue			2010		% of Revenue			$ Change			% Change
ARM		$	339,315		37.0	%	$	363,684		37.2	%	$	(24,369	)		(6.7	)%
CRM			174,147		74.1	%		158,054		75.8	%		16,093			10.2	%

	Total	$	513,462		44.6	%	$	521,738		44.0	%	$	(8,276	)		(1.6	)%

The slight decrease in ARM's payroll and related expenses as a percentage of revenue was primarily due to cost saving initiatives, including off-shoring of back-office functions and ongoing restructuring.

The slight decrease in CRM's payroll and related expenses as a percentage of revenue was primarily a result of cost savings initiatives and moving new business to offshore locations with a lower cost structure, as well as leveraging its infrastructure over the higher revenue base.

Selling, general and administrative expenses.(Dollars in thousands):

		For the Nine Months Ended September 30,

		2011		% of Revenue			2010		% of Revenue			$ Change			% Change
ARM		$	242,186		26.4	%	$	263,826		27.0	%	$	(21,640	)		(8.2	)%
CRM			45,720		19.5	%		42,250		20.3	%		3,470			8.2	%

	Total	$	287,906		25.0	%	$	306,076		25.8	%	$	(18,170	)		(5.9	)%

The slight decrease in CRM's selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenue was primarily attributable to leveraging its infrastructure over the higher revenue base and to cost saving initiatives, including ongoing restructuring of facilities.

Reimbursable costs and fees. Reimbursable costs and fees consist of court costs, legal fees and repossession fees, representing out-of-pocket expenses that are reimbursed by our clients. Reimbursable costs and fees of $247.6 million and $257.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, are recorded as both revenue and operating expenses on the statement of operations.

Restructuring charges. During the nine months ended September 30, 2011, we incurred restructuring charges of $23.5 million, related to streamlining the cost structure of the Company's operations. The charges consisted primarily of costs associated with the closing of redundant facilities, severance and professional fees. This compares to $12.7 million of restructuring charges for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. The severance accrual recorded for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, included approximately $3.4 million related to termination benefits provided to our former President and Chief Executive Officer, who remains as our Chairman of the Board of Directors.

Depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization decreased to $77.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, from $82.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. The decrease was primarily attributable to lower depreciation resulting from more assets becoming fully depreciated.

Other income (expense). Interest expense decreased to $64.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, from $67.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. Interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 included $616,000 and $5.9 million, respectively, of net losses from interest rate swap agreements. Other income (expense), net for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 included approximately $930,000 of net losses and $1.1 million of net gains, respectively, resulting from foreign exchange contracts.

Income tax expense. For the nine months ended September 30, 2011, we recorded income tax expense from continuing operations of $7.4 million on a pre-tax loss of $64.4 million, or an effective income tax rate of (11.4) percent. For the nine months ended September 30, 2010, we recorded income tax expense from continuing operations of $6.8 million on a pre-tax loss of $59.3 million, or an effective income tax rate of (11.5) percent. The change in the effective income tax rate was due primarily to the recognition of a valuation allowance on certain domestic net deferred tax assets and income tax expense to be paid in state and foreign jurisdictions.

CRM's revenue for 2009 included $5.1 million of intercompany revenue earned on services performed for ARM, which was eliminated upon consolidation. CRM did not perform services for ARM in 2010.

ARM's revenue for 2010 and 2009 included $343.1 million and $127.0 million of reimbursable costs and fees (discussed in more detail below), which resulted in a $216.1 million increase in ARM's revenue in 2010. This increase was partially offset by decreases primarily attributable to lower volumes and the weaker third-party collection environment during 2010 and a $43.9 million decrease resulting from the sale of our print and mail business in October 2009.

The decrease in CRM's revenue was primarily due to lower volumes from certain existing clients attributable to the impact of the economy on the clients' business, partially offset by increased client volumes related to the implementation of new contracts during 2010.

Payroll and related expenses. Payroll and related expenses decreased $74.3 million to $692.9 million in 2010, from $767.2 million in 2009, and decreased as a percentage of revenue to 44.1 percent from 50.2 percent.

The decrease in ARM's payroll and related expenses as a percentage of revenue was primarily due to the higher revenue base, which was attributable to the increase in reimbursable costs and fees. Included in ARM's payroll and related expenses for 2009 was $5.1 million of intercompany expense to CRM, for services provided to ARM.

The increase in CRM's payroll and related expenses as a percentage of revenue was primarily a result of leveraging its infrastructure over the lower revenue base.

Selling, general and administrative expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $61.2 million to $406.9 million in 2010, from $468.1 million in 2009, and decreased as a percentage of revenue to 25.9 percent from 30.6 percent.

The decrease in ARM's selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenue was primarily due to the higher revenue base, which was attributable to the increase in reimbursable costs and fees, as well as cost saving initiatives and the sale of the print and mail business, which had a higher selling, general and administrative expense cost structure.

The increase in CRM's selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenue was primarily attributable to leveraging its infrastructure over the lower revenue base.

Reimbursable costs and fees. Reimbursable costs and fees consist of court costs, legal fees and repossession fees, representing out-of-pocket expenses that are reimbursed by the Company's clients. Reimbursable costs and fees are recorded as both revenue and operating expenses on the statement of operations. The increase in reimbursable costs and fees was due to the acquisition of TDM in August 2009.

Depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization decreased to $108.7 million in 2010, from $117.2 million in 2009. This decrease was primarily attributable to lower depreciation expense resulting from more assets becoming fully depreciated, as well as lower amortization of customer relationships and other intangible assets due to certain intangible assets becoming fully amortized during 2010.

Impairment of intangible assets. During the fourth quarter of 2010, the Company recorded goodwill impairment charges of $57.0 million in the CRM segment. During the fourth quarter of 2009, the Company recorded goodwill impairment charges of $24.8 million in the CRM segment.

Restructuring charges. We incurred restructuring charges of $17.1 million in 2010, which related to streamlining the cost structure of our operations. The charges consisted primarily of costs associated with the closing of redundant facilities and severance costs. This compares to $10.0 million of restructuring charges in 2009, which also related to the streamlining of our cost structure.

Other income (expense). Interest expense decreased to $90.4 million for 2010, from $97.4 million for 2009. Interest expense for 2010 included $7.1 million of losses, compared to $14.2 million of losses in 2009, from interest rate swap agreements. The remaining decrease in interest expense was primarily due to lower debt balances during 2010. Other income (expense), net for 2010 and 2009 included approximately $1.2 million and $7.0 million, respectively, of net gains resulting from the settlement of certain foreign exchange contracts. Other income (expense) for 2009 also included a $5.0 million loss from writing down one of our notes receivable and a $4.4 million gain on sale of our print and mail business.

Income tax expense (benefit). For 2010, we recorded income tax expense of $6.6 million on a pre-tax loss of $137.9 million, or an effective income tax rate of (4.8) percent. For 2009, we recorded an income tax benefit of $1.6 million on a pre-tax loss of $73.7 million, or an effective income tax rate of 2.1 percent. The change in the effective income tax rate was due primarily to the recognition of a valuation allowance on certain domestic net deferred tax assets, and income tax expense to be paid in state and foreign jurisdictions.

Year ended December 31, 2009 Compared to Year ended December 31, 2008

Revenue. Revenue increased $35.3 million, or 2.4 percent, to $1,529.7 million for 2009, from $1,494.4 million in 2008.

CRM's revenue for 2009 and 2008 included $5.1 million and $2.9 million, respectively, of intercompany revenue earned on services performed for ARM, which was eliminated upon consolidation.

The increase in ARM's revenue was primarily attributable to increased volume from new and existing clients in both first-party (early stage) and contingent collections as well as a full year of revenue from the OSI acquisition completed on February 29, 2008. This increase was offset in part by the weaker collection environment during 2009.

Payroll and related expenses. Payroll and related expenses decreased $58.4 million to $767.2 million in 2009, from $825.6 million in 2008, and decreased as a percentage of revenue to 50.2 percent from 55.3 percent.

The decrease in ARM's payroll and related expenses as a percentage of revenue was primarily due to the integration efforts following the acquisition of OSI on February 29, 2008, as well as the deployment of additional staff in off-shore locations where labor costs are

lower. Included in ARM's payroll and related expenses was $5.1 million of intercompany expense to CRM, for services provided to ARM.

CRM's payroll and related expenses remained relatively flat as a percentage of revenue, despite the decrease in revenue, primarily as a result of our continuing deployment of additional staff in off-shore locations where labor costs are lower.

Selling, general and administrative expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $15.8 million to $468.1 million in 2009, from $483.9 million in 2008, and decreased as a percentage of revenue to 30.6 percent from 32.4 percent.

The decrease in ARM's selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenue was primarily attributable to the effective management of expenses and integration efforts following the OSI acquisition.

The increase in CRM's selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenue was primarily attributable to increasing capacity due to anticipated higher client volumes, in advance of the offsetting revenue generation.

Depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization decreased to $117.2 million in 2009, from $118.5 million in 2008. This decrease was primarily attributable to lower depreciation expense resulting from a lower level of property and equipment, offset partially by higher amortization of customer relationships and other intangible assets following the OSI acquisition in February 2008.

Impairment of intangible assets. During the fourth quarter of 2009, the Company recorded goodwill impairment charges of $24.8 million in the CRM segment.

Restructuring charges. We incurred restructuring charges of $10.0 million in 2009, which related to restructuring of our legacy operations to streamline our cost structure. The charges consisted primarily of severance costs. This compares to $11.6 million of restructuring charges in 2008, which primarily related to the OSI acquisition.

Other income (expense). Interest expense increased to $97.4 million for 2009, from $95.6 million for 2008. Interest expense for 2009 included $14.2 million of losses, compared to $4.3 million of losses in 2008, from interest rate swap agreements. This was offset partially by lower interest expense under our amended senior credit facility in 2009, due to a lower level of debt resulting from debt repayments during 2009. Other income (expense), net for 2009 and 2008 included approximately $7.0 million of net gains and $16.8 million of net losses,

respectively, resulting from the settlement of certain foreign exchange contracts. Other income (expense) for 2009 also included a $5.0 million loss from writing down one of our notes receivable and a $4.4 million gain on sale of our print and mail business.

Income tax benefit. For 2009, the effective income tax rate decreased to 2.1 percent from 34.9 percent for 2008, due primarily to the recognition of a valuation allowance on certain domestic net deferred tax assets.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our primary sources of cash are cash flows from operations, bank borrowings, and equity and debt offerings. Cash has been used for acquisitions, repayments of bank borrowings, purchases of equipment, and working capital to support our growth.

The cash flow from our contingency collection business is dependent upon our ability to collect from consumers and businesses. Many factors, including the economy and our ability to hire and retain qualified collectors and managers, are essential to our ability to generate cash flows. The cash flows from our first-party collections and our CRM businesses are dependent upon the volume of business that our clients place with us. Fluctuations in these factors that cause a negative impact on our business could have a material impact on our expected future cash flows.

The capital and credit markets have experienced significant volatility in the recent past and if this continues, it is possible that our ability to access the capital and credit markets may be limited. Our senior notes and senior subordinated notes are assigned ratings by certain rating agencies. Changes in our business environment, operating results, cash flows, or financial position could impact the ratings assigned by these rating agencies. Significant changes in assigned ratings could also significantly affect the costs of borrowing, which could have a material impact on our financial condition and results of operations.

We have a senior credit facility, referred to as the Credit Facility, that consists of a term loan ($460.2 million outstanding as of September 30, 2011) and a revolving credit facility ($30.0 million outstanding as of September 30, 2011). Additionally, we have $165.0 million of floating rate senior notes and $200.0 million 11.875 percent senior subordinated notes. As a result, we are significantly leveraged.

Borrowings under the Credit Facility are collateralized by substantially all of our assets. The Credit Facility contains certain financial and other covenants such as maintaining a maximum leverage ratio and a minimum interest coverage ratio, and includes restrictions on, among other things, acquisitions, the incurrence of additional debt, investments, investments in purchased accounts receivable, disposition of assets, liens and dividends and other distributions. At September 30, 2011, our leverage ratio (calculated in accordance with the methodology outlined in the Credit Facility) was 5.55x, compared to the covenant maximum of 6.50x, and our interest coverage ratio (calculated in accordance with the methodology outlined in the Credit Facility) was 1.99x, compared to the covenant minimum of 1.70x. We were in compliance with all required financial covenants under our senior credit facility and we were not aware of any events of default as of September 30, 2011.

Due to the expected impact of the economic environment on our clients' business, and the resulting expected impact of that on our 2011 results, as well as financial covenant ratio adjustments required under the Credit Facility in 2011, we became uncertain of our ability to remain in compliance with the financial covenants through 2011. Therefore, on March 25, 2011, we amended the Credit Facility to, among other things, adjust certain financial covenants, including increasing certain maximum leverage ratios and decreasing certain minimum interest coverage ratios, extend the maturity date of the revolving credit facility

from November 15, 2011 to December 31, 2012 and reduce the maximum borrowing capacity to $75.0 million through November 15, 2011 and $67.5 million thereafter, and permit us to sell all or a portion of our portfolios of accounts receivable. We believe we will be able to maintain compliance with such covenants in 2011. Our ability to maintain compliance with our covenants will be highly dependent on our results of operations and, to the extent necessary, our ability to implement remedial measures such as further reductions in operating costs. If we were to enter into an agreement with our lenders for future covenant compliance relief, such relief could result in additional fees and higher interest expense.

The economic and business climate in 2011 continued to be very difficult and there is uncertainty as to whether the economic and business climate in 2012 will improve. In addition, other factors, such as the loss of a significant client or reduced client volumes, may impact our ability to meet our debt covenants in the future. Therefore, no assurance can be given that we will be able to maintain compliance with our financial covenants in future periods.

If an event of default, such as failure to comply with covenants, were to occur under the Credit Facility and we were not able to obtain an amendment or waiver from the lenders, we would not be able to borrow under the revolving credit facility and the lenders would be entitled to declare all amounts outstanding under the Credit Facility immediately due and payable and foreclose on the pledged assets. In addition, the acceleration of the amounts due under the Credit Facility could be an event of default under our Senior Notes and Senior Subordinated Notes and entitle the holders to accelerate the payment of these obligations. Under these circumstances, the acceleration of the payment of our debt would have a material adverse effect on our business.

Our Credit Facility, as amended, does not give us the ability to use available excess cash flow to repurchase our senior notes and senior subordinated notes. However, our Credit Facility, as amended, permits us to repurchase our senior notes and senior subordinated notes out of the net cash proceeds of new equity issuances. We are aware that our senior notes and senior subordinated notes from time to time may trade at substantial discounts to their face amounts. We or our stockholders may from time to time seek to retire or purchase our outstanding notes through cash purchases and/or exchanges for equity securities, in open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise. Our stockholders who acquire such notes may seek to contribute them to us, for retirement, in exchange for the issuance of additional equity. The amounts involved may be material.

Cash Flows from Operating Activities. Cash provided by operating activities of continuing operations was $36.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, compared to cash provided by operating activities of continuing operations of $52.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. The change was primarily attributable to the changes in working capital due to the timing of payments of operating items.

Cash provided by operating activities of continuing operations was $44.1 million in 2010, compared to $89.2 million in 2009. The decrease in cash provided by operating activities of continuing operations was primarily attributable to lower operating results for 2010, as well as a decrease in accounts receivable, trade of $5.6 million for 2010 compared to $43.9 million for 2009, resulting from the collection of a large outstanding receivable balance during 2009.

Cash provided by operating activities of continuing operations was $89.2 million in 2009, compared to $60.9 million in 2008. The increase in cash provided by operating activities of continuing operations was primarily attributable to a decrease in accounts receivable, trade of $43.9 million for 2009, compared to a decrease of $11.8 million in the prior year, resulting from the collection of a large outstanding receivable balance during 2009, offset partially by decreases in accounts payable and accrued expenses and income taxes payable.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities. Cash used in investing activities of continuing operations was $35.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, compared to cash used in investing activities of continuing operations of $13.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. The change was primarily attributable to $20.8 million of cash paid to acquire Protocol.

Cash used in investing activities of continuing operations was $8.8 million in 2010 compared to $409,000 in 2009. The increase in cash used in investing activities of continuing operations was primarily attributable to $1.6 million of cash paid for the Health Blueprints, Inc. acquisition in 2010, compared to $20.0 million of cash received from the sale of our print and mail business in 2009. This was offset partially by lower purchases of property and equipment in 2010 as compared to 2009.

Cash used in investing activities of continuing operations was $409,000 in 2009 compared to $416.0 million in 2008. The decrease in cash used in investing activities of continuing operations was primarily attributable to cash paid for acquisitions and acquisition-related costs of $349.4 million in 2008 primarily incurred in connection with the acquisition of OSI on February 29, 2008, as well as lower purchases of accounts receivable in 2009 and $20.0 million of cash received from the sale of our print and mail business in 2009.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities. Cash used in financing activities of continuing operations was $30.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, compared to cash used in financing activities of continuing operations of $64.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. The change was due primarily to lower net repayments under our senior credit facility during the nine months ended September 30, 2011, primarily due to borrowings for the acquisition of Protocol.

Cash used in financing activities of continuing operations was $59.6 million in 2010, compared to $82.3 million in 2009. The decrease in cash used in financing activities of continuing operations resulted primarily from lower repayments of borrowings under the Credit Facility.

Cash used in financing activities of continuing operations was $82.3 million in 2009, compared to cash provided by financing activities of continuing operations of $359.1 million in 2008. The change in financing activities of continuing operations resulted from the additional borrowings of $139.0 million under our Credit Facility and the issuance of $210.0 million of stock, both of which were used primarily to fund the OSI acquisition in 2008. Also contributing to the change was a total of $103.8 million of net repayments of borrowings under the Credit Facility in 2009, compared to total net borrowings of $23.8 million in 2008. During 2008, we paid $17.5 million to JPM in connection with the acquisition of SST, which was deemed to be a cash dividend for accounting purposes.

Senior Credit Facility. Our Credit Facility, as amended on March 25, 2011, is with a syndicate of financial institutions and consists of a term loan and a revolving credit facility. We are required to make quarterly principal repayments of $1.5 million on the term loan until its maturity in May 2013, at which time its remaining balance outstanding is due. We are also required to make quarterly prepayments of 75 percent of the excess cash flow from our purchased accounts receivable, and annual prepayments of 75 percent or 50 percent of our excess annual cash flow, based on our leverage ratio, less the amounts paid during the year from the purchased accounts receivable excess cash flow prepayments. The revolving credit facility requires no minimum principal payments until its maturity in December 2012. At September 30, 2011, the balance outstanding on the term loan was $460.2 million and the balance outstanding on the revolving credit facility was $30.0 million. The availability of the revolving credit facility is reduced by any unused letters of credit ($6.8 million at

September 30, 2011). As of September 30, 2011, we had $38.2 million of remaining availability under the revolving credit facility.

All borrowings bear interest at an annual variable rate, based on either the prime rate (3.25 percent at September 30, 2011), the federal funds rate (0.68 percent at September 30, 2011), or LIBOR (0.22 percent 30-day LIBOR at September 30, 2011) plus an applicable margin, which is based on the type of rate and our funded debt to EBITDA ratio, as defined in the loan agreement, subject to certain interest rate minimum requirements. We are charged a quarterly commitment fee on the unused portion of the revolving credit facility at an annual rate of 0.75 percent. For the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, the effective interest rate on the Credit Facility was approximately 9.23 percent and 8.61 percent, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, the effective interest rate on the senior credit facility was 8.08 percent and 9.21 percent, respectively.

Senior Notes and Senior Subordinated Notes. We have $165.0 million of floating rate senior notes due 2013 ("Senior Notes") and $200.0 million of 11.875 percent senior subordinated notes due 2014 ("Senior Subordinated Notes") (collectively, "the Notes"). The Notes are guaranteed, jointly and severally, on a senior basis with respect to the Senior Notes and on a senior subordinated basis with respect to the Senior Subordinated Notes, in each case by all of our existing and future domestic restricted subsidiaries (other than certain subsidiaries and joint ventures engaged in financing the purchase of delinquent accounts receivable portfolios and certain immaterial subsidiaries).

The Senior Notes are unsecured senior obligations and are senior in right of payment to all existing and future senior subordinated indebtedness, including the Senior Subordinated Notes, and all future subordinated indebtedness. The Senior Notes bear interest at an annual rate equal to the London Interbank Offered Rate, referred to as LIBOR, plus 4.875 percent, reset quarterly. We may redeem the Senior Notes, in whole or in part, at varying redemption prices depending on the redemption date, plus accrued and unpaid interest.

The Senior Subordinated Notes are unsecured senior subordinated obligations and are subordinated in right of payment to all existing and future senior indebtedness, including the Senior Notes and borrowings under the Credit Facility. We may redeem the Senior Subordinated Notes, in whole or in part, at any time on or after November 15, 2010 at varying redemption prices depending on the redemption date, plus accrued and unpaid interest.

The indentures governing the Notes contain a number of covenants that limit our and our restricted subsidiaries' ability, among other things, to: incur additional indebtedness and issue certain preferred stock, pay certain dividends, acquire shares of capital stock, make payments on subordinated debt or make investments, place limitations on distributions from restricted subsidiaries, issue or sell stock of restricted subsidiaries, guarantee indebtedness, sell or exchange assets, enter into transactions with affiliates, create certain liens, engage in unrelated businesses, and consolidate, merge or transfer all or substantially all of our assets and the assets of our subsidiaries on a consolidated basis. In addition, upon a change of control, we are required to offer to repurchase all of the Notes then outstanding, at a purchase price equal to 101 percent of their principal amount, plus any accrued interest to the date of repurchase.

Upon certain events of default, the trustee or the holders of at least 25 percent in the aggregate principal amount of the notes, then outstanding, may, and the trustee at the request of the holders will, declare the principal of, premium, if any, and accrued interest on the notes to be immediately due and payable. In the event a court enters a decree or order for relief against us in an involuntary case under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law now or hereafter in effect, the court appoints a receiver, liquidator, assignee,

custodian, trustee, sequestrator or similar official or for all or substantially all of our property and assets or the winding up or liquidation of our affairs and, in each case, such decree or order remains unstayed and in effect for a period of 60 consecutive days, the principal of, premium, if any, and accrued interest on the notes then outstanding will automatically become and be immediately due and payable. Additionally, if we or any subsidiary guarantor commence a voluntary case under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law now or hereafter in effect, or consent to the entry of an order for relief in an involuntary case under any such law, consent to the appointment of or taking possession by a receiver, liquidator, assignee, custodian, trustee, sequestrator or similar official or for all or substantially all of our property and assets or substantially all of the property and assets of a significant subsidiary (as defined in the indentures) or effect any general assignment for the benefit of creditors, the principal of, premium, if any, and accrued interest on the notes then outstanding will automatically become and be immediately due and payable.

Contractual Obligations

The following summarizes our contractual obligations as of December 31, 2010 (Dollars in thousands). For a detailed discussion of these contractual obligations, see notes 12, 13 and 19 in our Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

⁽¹⁾: Does not include deferred income taxes since the timing of payment is not certain (see note 14 in our Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements). Payments of debt assume no prepayments.
⁽²⁾: Represents estimated future interest expense based on applicable rates, including minimum rates as defined in our amended senior credit facility.
⁽³⁾: Does not include the leases from our former Fort Washington locations (see note 19 in our Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements).

Because their future cash outflows are uncertain, noncurrent liabilities for income tax contingencies are excluded from the table above. At December 31, 2010, we had approximately $11.1 million in reserves for uncertain tax positions and an accrual for related interest expense of $4.0 million. Currently, we do not estimate a cash settlement with the applicable taxing authority will occur within 12 months for the majority of these unrecognized tax benefits.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements as defined by Regulation S-K 303(a)(4) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

Market Risk

We are exposed to various types of market risk in the normal course of business, including the impact of interest rate changes, foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations, changes in corporate tax rates, and inflation. We employ risk management strategies that may include the use of derivatives, such as interest rate swap agreements, interest rate cap agreements, and foreign currency forwards and options to manage these exposures. We do not enter into derivatives for trading purposes.

Foreign Currency Risk. Foreign currency exposures arise from transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency and from foreign denominated revenue and profit translated into U.S. dollars. The primary currencies to which we are exposed include the Canadian dollar, the Philippine peso, the British pound and the Australian dollar. Due to the size of the Philippine operations, we currently use forward exchange contracts to limit potential losses in earnings or cash flows from adverse foreign currency exchange rate movements. These contracts are entered into to protect against the risk that the eventual cash flows resulting from such contracts will be adversely affected by changes in exchange rates. Our objective is to maintain economically balanced currency risk management strategies that provide adequate downside protection.

Interest Rate Risk. At September 30, 2011, we had $655.2 million in outstanding variable rate borrowings. A material change in interest rates could adversely affect our operating results and cash flows. A 25 basis-point increase in interest rates could increase our annual interest expense by $125,000 for each $50 million of variable debt outstanding for the entire year. From time to time, we use interest rate swap agreements to limit potential losses from adverse interest rate changes. Our interest rate swap agreements minimize the impact of LIBOR fluctuations on the interest payments on our floating rate debt. We are required to pay the counterparties quarterly interest payments at a weighted average fixed rate, and we receive from the counterparties variable quarterly interest payments based on LIBOR.

Impact of Recently Issued and Proposed Accounting Guidance

In June 2009, the FASB issued authoritative guidance for transfers of financial assets. This guidance removes the concept of qualifying special-purpose entities and eliminates the exception from applying guidance related to consolidating of variable interest entities to qualifying special-purpose entities. This guidance requires additional disclosures in order to provide greater transparency about transfers of financial assets and a transferor's continuing involvement with transferred financial assets. This guidance was effective for us on January 1, 2010, and it did not have a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations.

In June 2009, the FASB issued amended guidance for consolidation of variable interest entities. This guidance amends previous guidance to require companies to perform an analysis to determine if their variable interest gives them a controlling financial interest in the variable interest entity, and requires ongoing reassessments of who is the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity. This guidance also requires enhanced disclosures of information about involvement in a variable interest entity. This guidance was effective for us on January 1, 2010, and it did not have a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations.

arrangements. Disclosures related to multiple-deliverable revenue arrangements have also been expanded. This guidance was effective for us for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified on or after January 1, 2011, and it will not have a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations.

In January 2010, the FASB issued amended guidance for disclosures about fair value measurements, which requires new disclosures regarding transfers in and out of Level 1 and 2 measurements and requires additional disclosures regarding activity in Level 3 measurements. This guidance also clarifies existing fair value disclosures regarding the level of disaggregation and the input and valuation techniques used to measure fair value. We adopted this guidance on January 1, 2010, except for the requirement for additional disclosures of Level 3 activity which is effective on January 1, 2011, and it did not have a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations.

In April 2010, the FASB issued amended guidance for loan modifications when the loan is part of a pool that is accounted for as a single asset. This guidance clarifies that modifications of loans that are accounted for within a pool, which have evidence of credit deterioration upon acquisition, do not result in the removal of those loans from the pool even if the modification would otherwise be considered a troubled debt restructuring. An entity will continue to be required to consider whether the pool of assets in which the loan is included is impaired if expected cash flows for the pool change. The amended guidance was effective for us for loan modifications made in or after the third quarter of 2010. We adopted this guidance and it did not have a material impact on our results of operations or financial position.

In July 2010, the FASB issued amended guidance for disclosures about financing receivables and allowances for credit losses. The guidance requires further disaggregated disclosures that improve financial statement users' understanding of (1) the nature of an entity's credit risk associated with its financing receivables and (2) the entity's assessment of that risk in estimating its allowance for credit losses as well as changes in the allowance and the reasons for those changes. The new disclosure requirements are effective for us for the annual reporting period ending December 31, 2010. Certain disclosures related to allowance and modification activities will be effective for us for reporting periods beginning January 1, 2011. We do not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations.

In December 2010, the FASB issued amended guidance for business combinations, specifically related to disclosures of supplementary pro forma information. The amended guidance specifies that if comparative financial statements are presented, then revenue and earnings of the combined entity should be disclosed as though the business combination, which occurred during the current year, had occurred as of the beginning of the comparable prior annual reporting period only. The amended guidance also expands the supplemental pro forma information disclosures to include a description of the nature and amount of material, nonrecurring pro forma adjustments directly attributable to the business combination. We adopted this guidance on January 1, 2011, and it did not have a material impact on us since it is for disclosure purposes only.

In December 2010, the FASB issued amended guidance for goodwill and other intangible assets, specifically related to when to perform step 2 of the goodwill impairment test for reporting units with zero or negative carrying amounts. Under the amended guidance, if a reporting unit's carrying amount is zero or negative, then step 2 of the goodwill impairment test is required to be performed if it is more likely than not that a goodwill impairment exists. The amended guidance is effective for us on January 1, 2011. We are reviewing the guidance to assess the impact of adoption.

NCO GROUP, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. Nature of Operations and Basis of Presentation:

NCO Group, Inc. is a holding company and conducts substantially all of its business operations through its subsidiaries (collectively, the "Company" or "NCO"). NCO is an international provider of business process outsourcing solutions, primarily focused on accounts receivable management ("ARM") and customer relationship management ("CRM"). NCO provides services through over 100 offices throughout North America, Asia, Europe and Australia. The Company provides services to more than 14,000 active clients, including many of the Fortune 500, supporting a broad spectrum of industries, including financial services, telecommunications, healthcare, retail and commercial, utilities, education and government, technology and transportation/logistics services. These clients are primarily located throughout North America, Asia, Europe and Australia. The Company's largest client during the year ended December 31, 2010, was in the telecommunications sector and represented 7.1 percent of the Company's consolidated revenue excluding reimbursable costs and fees for the year ended December 31, 2010.

Historically, the Company's Portfolio Management business has also purchased and collected past due consumer accounts receivable from consumer creditors. Beginning in 2009, the Company significantly reduced its purchases of accounts receivable and made a decision to minimize further investments in the future. This decision resulted from declines in liquidation rates, competition for purchased accounts receivable, the continued uncertainty of collectibility, as well as potential regulatory changes affecting the purchased accounts receivable business.

In April and August 2011, Portfolio Management sold substantially all of its portfolios of purchased accounts receivable. The sold portfolios and related results are presented as discontinued operations on the consolidated statements of operations and statements of cash flows, and prior periods have been restated (note 5).

The Company's business consists of two operating segments: ARM and CRM.

2. Accounting Policies:

Principles of Consolidation:

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and all subsidiaries and entities controlled by the Company. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

On January 2, 2008, the Company acquired Systems & Services Technologies, Inc. ("SST"), a third-party consumer receivable servicer. Prior to the acquisition, SST was a wholly owned subsidiary of JPMorgan Chase & Co. ("JPM"). JPM also wholly owns One Equity Partners and its affiliates ("OEP"), which is a private equity investment fund that has had a controlling interest in the Company since the Company's "going-private" transaction on November 15, 2006 (the "Transaction").

Because the Company and SST were under common control at the time of the SST acquisition, the transfer of assets and liabilities of SST were accounted for at historical cost in a manner similar to a pooling of interests. For financial accounting purposes, the acquisition was viewed as a change in reporting entity and, as a result, required restatement of the Company's financial statements for all periods subsequent to November 15, 2006, the date of

NCO GROUP, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

the Transaction and the date at which common control of the Company and SST by JPM commenced.

The Company also considers whether any of its investments represent a variable interest entity ("VIE") that is required to be consolidated by the primary beneficiary. The primary beneficiary is the entity that has both (i) the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the VIE's economic performance, and (ii) the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits that could potentially be significant to the VIE. A VIE is an entity for which the primary beneficiary's interest in the entity can change with changes in factors other than the amount of investment in the entity.

The Company has investments in VIEs that purchase portfolios of purchased accounts receivable. Based on the Company's significant participation in the VIEs' profits or losses and its ability to direct the activities of the VIEs, the Company consolidates these VIEs as it is considered the primary beneficiary. The aggregate assets of the VIEs, that can only be used to settle obligations of the VIEs, and liabilities of the VIEs, for which beneficial interest holders do not have recourse to the Company's general credit, are presented on the balance sheet.

Revenue Recognition:

Services:

ARM contingency fee revenue is recognized upon collection of funds by NCO or its client. Fees for ARM contractual services are recognized as services are performed and earned under service arrangements with clients where fees are fixed or determinable and collectibility is reasonably assured

CRM revenue is recognized based on the billable hours of each representative as defined in the client contract. The rate per billable hour charged is based on a predetermined contractual rate. The contractual rate can fluctuate based on certain pre-determined objective performance criteria related to quality and performance, reduced by any contractual performance penalties the client may be entitled to, both as measured on a monthly basis. The impact of the performance criteria and penalties on the rate per billable hour is continually updated as revenue is recognized.

Under CRM performance-based arrangements, the Company is paid by its customers based on achievement of certain levels of sales or other client-determined criteria. The Company recognizes performance-based revenue by measuring its actual results against the performance criteria specified in the contracts.

Deferred revenue primarily relates to prepaid fees for ARM collection and letter services for which revenue is recognized when the services are provided or the time period for which

	For the Year Ended December 31,

	2010			2009
Balance at beginning of period	$	40,675		$	46,016

Balance at end of period	$	31,995		$	40,675

Portfolio:

The Company acquires accounts receivable in groups that are initially recorded at cost. All acquired accounts receivable have experienced deterioration of credit quality between origination and the Company's acquisition of the accounts receivable, and the amount paid for the accounts receivable reflects the Company's determination that it is probable the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due according to contractual terms of each receivable. The Company determines whether each purchase of accounts receivable is to be accounted for as an individual portfolio or whether multiple purchases will be combined based on common risk characteristics into an aggregated portfolio. Once the Company establishes an individual purchase or aggregated purchases as a portfolio, the receivables in the portfolio are not changed, unless replaced, returned or sold. The Company considers expected collections, and estimates the amount and timing of undiscounted expected principal, interest, and other cash flows (expected at acquisition) for each portfolio of accounts receivable. The Company determines nonaccretable difference, or the excess of the portfolio's contractual principal over all cash flows expected at acquisition as an amount that should not be accreted. The excess of the portfolio's cash flows expected to be collected over the amount paid is accretable yield. Accretable yield is recognized into earnings, as Portfolio revenue in the statement of operations, over the useful life of the portfolio, based on an effective interest rate method.

At acquisition, the Company derives an internal rate of return ("IRR") based on the expected monthly collections over the estimated economic life of each portfolio of accounts receivable (typically up to seven years, based on the Company's collection experience) compared to the original purchase price. Monthly collections on the portfolios are allocated between revenue and carrying value reduction based on applying each portfolio's effective IRR for the quarter to its carrying value. Over the life of a portfolio, the Company continues to estimate cash flows expected to be collected. The Company evaluates at the balance sheet date whether the present value of its portfolios determined using the effective interest rates for each portfolio has decreased, and if so, records a valuation allowance to maintain the original IRR. Any increase in actual or estimated cash flows expected to be collected is first used to reverse any existing valuation allowance for that portfolio, and any remaining increases in cash flows are recognized prospectively through an increase in the IRR. The updated IRR then becomes the new benchmark for subsequent valuation allowance testing.

NCO GROUP, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

Portfolio Sales:

Gains on sales are recognized as revenue and represent the difference between the sales price and the present value of the future cash collections expected from the receivables sold at the portfolio's IRR at the time of sale.

Reimbursable Costs and Fees:

Reimbursable costs and fees consist of court costs, legal fees and repossession fees, representing out-of-pocket expenses that are reimbursed by the Company's clients. Reimbursable costs and fees are recorded as both revenue and operating expenses on the statement of operations.

During the fourth quarter of 2010, the Company identified $15.4 million of reimbursable costs and fees received from clients associated with certain contractual arrangements acquired in connection with the acquisition of TSYS Total Debt Management (note 4) that were incorrectly recorded on a net basis, as an offset to selling, general and administrative expenses in the statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2009. Revenue for the year ended December 31, 2009 should have included these reimbursable costs and fees, with an equal and offsetting amount charged to operating expenses, due to the fact that the Company acted as principal and assumed overall risk in the transactions under these contractual arrangements. Although the Company concluded that the impact was not material to the 2009 financial statements, revenue and operating expenses have been revised to reflect the $15.4 million reimbursable costs and fees in both revenue and operating expenses in the statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2009. The following summarizes the impact of this revision on the statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2009 (in thousands):

	Adjustments

Total revenue	$	15,443
Total operating costs and expenses	$	15,443
Income from operations	$	—
Loss before income taxes	$	—
Net loss attributable to NCO Group, Inc.	$	—

Credit Policy:

Management monitors its client relationships in order to minimize the Company's credit risk and assesses the likelihood of collection based on a number of factors including the client's collection history and credit-worthiness. The Company maintains a reserve for potential collection losses when such losses are deemed to be probable.

The Company has two types of arrangements under which it collects its ARM contingency fee revenue. For certain clients, the Company remits funds collected on behalf of the client net of the related contingency fees while, for other clients, the Company remits gross funds collected on behalf of clients and bills the client separately for its contingency fees.

The Company generally does not require collateral and it does not charge finance fees on outstanding trade receivables. In many cases, in the event of collection delays from ARM clients, management may, at its discretion, change from the gross remittance method to the net remittance method. The Company also maintains a reserve for deposits on debtor

NCO GROUP, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

accounts that may ultimately prove to have insufficient funds. Trade accounts receivable are written off to the allowances when collection appears highly unlikely.

Cash and Cash Equivalents:

The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an initial maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. These financial instruments potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk. The Company minimizes this risk by dealing with major financial institutions. The Company maintains deposit accounts with major financial institutions, and, at times, such deposits may exceed FDIC insurance limits.

Property and Equipment:

Property and equipment is stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is provided over the estimated useful life of each class of assets using the straight-line method. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Renewals and betterments are capitalized. When property is sold or retired, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the balance sheet, and any gain or loss on the transaction is included in the statement of operations. Certain expenditures for software that is purchased or internally developed for use by the Company are capitalized in accordance with authoritative guidance and amortized using the straight-line method over a period of five years.

Long-Lived Assets:

The Company evaluates the net realizable value of long-lived assets, including property and equipment, internal use software, and certain identifiable definite-lived intangible assets, for impairment, based on the estimated undiscounted future cash flows, whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable.

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets:

Goodwill represents the excess of purchase price over the fair market value of net assets acquired, based on their respective fair values at the date of acquisition. Goodwill is tested for impairment each year, and between annual tests if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount. The goodwill impairment test is performed at the reporting unit level and involves a two-step approach, the first step identifies any potential impairment and the second step measures the amount of impairment, if applicable. The first test for potential impairment compares the fair value of a reporting unit's goodwill to its carrying amount; if the fair value is less than the carrying amount, the reporting unit's goodwill would be considered impaired and the second step would be performed. The second step measures the amount of impairment by comparing the implied fair value of the reporting unit's goodwill with its carrying value. Fair value estimates are based upon a combination of the market approach and income approach.

Trade name includes the NCO trade name, representing the fair value of the NCO name, which is an indefinite-lived intangible asset and therefore not subject to amortization. Similar to goodwill, the NCO trade name is reviewed at least annually for impairment. Trade name also includes certain trade names acquired in connection with the acquisition of Outsourcing

NCO GROUP, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

Solutions, Inc. ("OSI") (note 4). The OSI trade names are not considered to have indefinite lives and therefore are subject to amortization. The OSI trade names are amortized using the straight-line method over a period of five years.

Other intangible assets consist primarily of customer relationships and non-compete agreements, which are amortized over a range of five to seven years using the straight-line method (note 11).

Deferred Financing Fees:

Deferred financing fees relate to debt issuance costs incurred, which are capitalized and amortized to interest expense over the term of the related debt using the effective interest method.

Income Taxes:

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized using enacted tax rates for the effect of temporary differences between the book and tax bases of recorded assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance if it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. Deferred taxes have not been provided on the cumulative undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries because such amounts are expected to be reinvested indefinitely.

The Company accounts for uncertain tax positions in accordance with authoritative guidance, which requires that the impact of a tax position, if that position is more likely than not of being sustained on audit, based on the technical merits of the position, be recognized in the financial statements. The Company applies a more likely than not threshold to the recognition of uncertain tax positions. The Company recognizes the amount of a tax benefit that has a greater than 50 percent likelihood of being ultimately realized upon settlement. Change in judgment related to the expected ultimate resolution of uncertain tax positions are recognized in earnings in the quarter of such change. The difference between a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return and the benefit recognized and measured represents an unrecognized tax benefit. An unrecognized tax benefit is a liability that represents a potential future obligation to the taxing authorities.

Foreign Currency Translation:

The Company has foreign subsidiaries whose local currency has been determined to be the functional currency for that subsidiary. The assets and liabilities of these foreign subsidiaries have been translated using the current exchange rates, and the income and expenses have been translated using rates consistent with average historical exchange rates. The adjustments resulting from translation have been recorded separately in stockholders' equity as "Other comprehensive income (loss)" and are not included in determining consolidated net (loss) income. As of December 31, 2010 and 2009, "Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)" included $5.4 million and $3.0 million of cumulative income, respectively, from foreign currency translation.

Derivative Financial Instruments:

The Company selectively uses derivative financial instruments to manage interest costs and minimize currency exchange risk. The Company does not hold derivatives for trading

NCO GROUP, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

purposes. While these derivative financial instruments are subject to fluctuations in value, these fluctuations are generally offset by the value of the underlying exposures being hedged. The Company minimizes the risk of credit loss by entering into these agreements with major financial institutions. The Company recognizes all of their derivative instruments as either assets or liabilities in the balance sheet at fair value.

The Company is exposed to foreign currency fluctuations relating to its operations in foreign countries. In order to partially hedge cash flow exposure, the Company may periodically enter into forward exchange contracts in order to minimize the impact of currency fluctuations on transactions and cash flows. The forward exchange contracts are recorded at their fair value on the accompanying balance sheets and may be designated as cash flow hedges. If the forward exchange contracts are designated as cash flow hedges, changes in the fair value, to the extent that the hedge was effective, are recorded, net of tax, in "Other comprehensive income (loss)," until earnings are affected by the variability of the hedged cash flows.

Cash flow hedge ineffectiveness, defined as the extent that the changes in fair value of the derivative exceed the variability of cash flows of the forecasted transaction, is recorded in the statement of operations. If the forward exchange contracts are not designated as cash flow hedges, changes in their estimated fair value are recorded in "Other income (expense)" in the statement of operations (note 16).

The Company is also exposed to interest rate fluctuations relating to its floating rate long-term debt. To manage this interest rate risk, from time to time the Company enters into interest rate swap agreements. The interest rate swap agreements may be designated as cash flow hedges and are recorded at their fair value on the accompanying balance sheets. Changes in the fair value of a cash flow hedge, to the extent that the hedge is effective, are recorded, net of tax, in "Other comprehensive income (loss)," until earnings are affected by the variability of the hedged cash flows. Cash flow hedge ineffectiveness, defined as the extent that the changes in fair value of the derivative exceed the variability of cash flows of the forecasted transaction, is recorded in the statement of operations. If the interest rate swap agreements are not designated as cash flow hedges, changes in their estimated fair value are recorded in "Interest expense" in the statement of operations (note 17).

The Company may also enter into interest rate cap contracts to manage interest rate risk relating to its floating rate long-term debt. These contracts are not cash flow hedges and, accordingly, changes in their estimated fair value are recorded in "Other income (expense)" in the statement of operations.

The Company has embedded derivatives relating to the contingent payment provision in its nonrecourse credit facility relating to its purchased accounts receivable operations, and embedded derivatives relating to the sellers' participation in collections that are in excess of minimum targets for certain portfolios of purchased accounts receivable. The embedded derivatives are not cash flow hedges and, accordingly, changes in their estimated fair value are recorded in "Interest expense" in the statement of operations. The embedded derivatives related to the nonrecourse credit facility are included in "Long-term debt" on the balance sheet because they are not separable from the notes payable and they have the same counterparty (note 12), and the embedded derivatives related to the sellers' participation are included in "Accrued expenses" on the balance sheet.

NCO GROUP, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts:

Use of Estimates:

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and the accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

The application of the authoritative guidance for business combinations requires the measurement of fair values of purchased assets and liabilities of an acquired entity. In connection with business combinations accounted for as a purchase, management makes additional estimates and assumptions in determining fair value that affect amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. The more significant financial statement items for which estimates and assumptions may be made include intangible assets, purchased accounts receivable, and nonrecourse debt.

In the ordinary course of accounting for purchased accounts receivable, estimates are made by management as to the amount and timing of future cash flows expected from each portfolio. The estimated future cash flow of each portfolio is used to compute the IRR for the portfolio, both in the case of any increases in expected cash flows, or to compute impairment or allowances in the case of decreases in expected cash flows. The IRR is used to allocate collections between revenue and principal reduction of the carrying values of the purchased accounts receivable.

On an ongoing basis, the Company compares the historical trends of each portfolio, or aggregated portfolios, to projected collections. Future projected collections are then increased or decreased based on the actual cumulative performance of each portfolio. Management reviews each portfolio's adjusted projected collections to determine if further upward or downward adjustment is warranted. Management regularly reviews the trends in collection patterns and uses its reasonable best efforts to improve the collections of under-performing portfolios. However, actual results will differ from these estimates and a material change in these estimates could occur within one reporting period (note 8).

3. Restructuring Charges:

The Company has several restructuring plans under which it has recorded restructuring charges during 2009 and 2010, primarily in conjunction with streamlining the cost structure of the Company's operations. These charges primarily related to the elimination of certain redundant facilities and severance costs. The Company currently expects to pay the remaining severance balance through 2013 and the remaining lease balance through 2016. The restructuring charges recorded during 2008 related to streamlining the cost structure of the Company's legacy operations in conjunction with the acquisitions of OSI and SST (note 4).

4. Business Combinations:

In September 2010, the Company acquired Health Blueprints, Inc., a healthcare consulting business, for approximately $1.6 million in cash.

On August 31, 2009, the Company acquired TSYS Total Debt Management, Inc. ("TDM"), a provider of accounts receivable management legal network solutions, for $4.5 million in cash which included $1.3 million of acquired cash. The Company allocated $983,000 of the purchase price to the customer relationships and recorded goodwill of $1.1 million. During the year ended December 31, 2009, the Company incurred acquisition costs of $154,000, which were recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses on the statement of operations. The TDM acquisition was included in the ARM segment.

On February 29, 2008, the Company acquired OSI, a leading provider of business process outsourcing services, specializing primarily in accounts receivable management services, for $334.0 million, which includes a $5.0 million purchase price reduction due to the settlement, in the fourth quarter of 2009, of amounts held in escrow. The purchase price was financed in part by the issuance of 802,262 shares of the Company's Series A 14% PIK Preferred Stock, 37,738 shares of Class L common stock and 1,012,262 shares of Class A common stock. The remainder of the purchase price was financed by borrowings of $139.0 million under the Company's amended senior credit facility (note 13).

The Company allocated $117.0 million of the purchase price to customer relationships, $3.4 million to trade names, $634,000 to non-compete agreements, and recorded goodwill of $210.4 million, which is non-deductible for tax purposes, in the ARM segment.

The following summarizes the unaudited pro forma results of operations, assuming the OSI acquisition described above occurred as of January 1, 2008. The unaudited pro forma information does not include the TDM acquisition because it was not considered a significant business combination. The unaudited pro forma information is provided for information purposes only. It is based on historical information, and does not necessarily reflect the actual

results that would have occurred, nor is it indicative of future results of operations of the consolidated entities (amounts in thousands):

	For the Year Ended December 31, 2008

Revenue	$	1,565,757
Net loss attributable to NCO		(342,445	)

On January 2, 2008, the Company acquired SST, a third-party consumer receivable servicer, from JPM for $18.4 million, including certain post-closing adjustments. The purchase price consisted of cash consideration of $11.3 million and the issuance of 29,884 shares of the Company's Series A 14% PIK Preferred Stock valued at $7.1 million. As described in note 2, since the Company and SST were under common control by JPM at the time of the SST acquisition, the transfer of assets and liabilities of SST were accounted for at historical cost in a manner similar to a pooling of interests. The cash consideration paid to JPM for SST and the return of $4.0 million of cash that was not acquired were treated as dividends to JPM.

During the year ended December 31, 2008, the Company acquired several smaller companies, all of which were providers of ARM services, for an aggregate purchase price of $9.3 million, including an accrual for $886,000 for estimated earnout payments which were subsequently paid during 2009, resulting in customer relationships of $1.2 million and goodwill of approximately $8.1 million. In addition, during the year ended December 31, 2008, the Company paid $6.2 million for earnout payments related to prior acquisitions.

5. Discontinued Operations:

In April and August 2011, Portfolio Management sold portfolios of purchased accounts receivable with an aggregate book value of $18.8 million. This book value includes the impact of write-downs of the value of the purchased accounts receivable of $18.6 million recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2011, and $10.8 million recorded during the three months ended June 30, 2011, which were recorded in connection with the dispositions.

Subsequent to the August sale, which constituted a significant portion of the Company's remaining purchased accounts receivable portfolio, the results of the Portfolio Management business are presented as discontinued operations on the consolidated statements of operations and statements of cash flows, and prior periods have been restated. The remaining portfolios of purchased accounts receivable are not significant and are now included as part of ARM. As of December 31, 2010 and 2009, purchased accounts receivable of $29.7 million and $51.0 million, respectively, were included in "Prepaid expenses and other current assets", and $48.9 million and $87.5 million, respectively, were included in "Other assets" on the consolidated balance sheet.

6. Disposals of Business:

In October 2009, the Company sold its print and mail business, from the ARM segment, for approximately $18.7 million in cash. The net proceeds from the sale were used to pay down the Company's senior term loan. In connection with the sale, during the year ended December 31, 2009, the Company recorded a gain of approximately $4.4 million, which is included in "Other income (expense)" on the statement of operations, and a $2.2 million deferred gain, which is amortized into earnings over the life of the ten-year servicing arrangement entered into with the buyer in connection with the disposal.

7. Fair Value:

Recurring Measurement:

The Company uses various valuation techniques and assumptions when measuring fair value of its assets and liabilities. The Company utilizes market data or assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk and the risks inherent in the inputs to the valuation technique. These inputs can be readily observable ("Level 1"), market corroborated ("Level 2"), or generally unobservable ("Level 3"). The significant majority of the fair value amounts included in the Company's current period earnings resulted from Level 2 fair value methodologies; that is, the Company is able to value the assets and liabilities based on observable market data for similar instruments (the "market approach"). The Company applied an income approach to amounts included in its current period earnings resulting from Level 3 fair value methodologies.

The financial assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Company's assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment and may affect the valuation of fair value assets and liabilities and their placement within the fair value hierarchy levels. The following table sets forth, by level within the fair value hierarchy, the Company's financial assets and liabilities that were measured at fair value on a recurring basis (amounts in thousands):

		At Fair Value as of

During the year ended December 31, 2010, there were no transfers in or out of the Company's Level 1, Level 2 or Level 3 fair value measurements.

To value the interest rate swaps and foreign currency forward exchange contracts, the Company obtains quotes from its counterparties. The Company considers such quotes to be Level 2 measurements. To gain assurance that such quotes reflect market participant views,

the Company independently values its interest rate swaps, and independently validates the relevant exchange rates of its forward exchange contracts.

For purposes of valuation adjustments to its interest rate swap derivative positions, the Company has evaluated liquidity premiums that may be demanded by market participants, as well as the credit risk of its counterparties and its own credit. The Company has considered factors such as the likelihood of default by itself and counterparties, its net exposures and remaining maturities in determining the appropriate fair value adjustment to record.

Embedded derivatives represent the contingent payment provision embedded in the Company's nonrecourse credit facility related to purchased accounts receivable and the sellers' participation in collections that are in excess of minimum targets for certain portfolios of purchased accounts receivable. The Company values these embedded derivatives based on the present value of expected cash flows. Inputs used to value these embedded derivatives are considered Level 3 measurements since they are unobservable. Changes in the fair market value of the embedded derivatives are recorded in interest expense on the statement of operations.

The following summarizes the change in the fair value of the embedded derivatives (amounts in thousands):

	For the Year Ended December 31,

Non-Recurring Measurement:

For the year ended December 31, 2010, the Company performed its annual impairment test during the fourth quarter. Due to the expected impact of the economic environment on the Company's clients' business in 2011 and beyond, in the fourth quarter of 2010 the Company reduced the budgeted volumes from certain of its clients in the CRM reporting unit. As a result, the Company's 2010 annual impairment test for goodwill indicated that the carrying value of its CRM reporting unit exceeded its fair value. As a result of the annual impairment testing, the Company recorded goodwill impairment charges of $57.0 million in the CRM segment in 2010. Refer to note 11 for the assumptions used to determine fair values. The following table summarizes the non-financial assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis in the balance sheet, by level within the fair value hierarchy (amounts in thousands):

Fair Value of Financial Instruments:

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instrument for which it is practicable to estimate that value:

Cash and Cash Equivalents, Trade Accounts Receivable, and Accounts Payable:

The carrying amount reported in the balance sheets approximates fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments.

Purchased Accounts Receivable:

The Company records purchased accounts receivable at cost, which is discounted from the contractual receivable balance. The carrying value of purchased accounts receivable, which is estimated based upon future cash flows, approximates fair value at December 31, 2010 and 2009 and is included in "Prepaid expenses and other current assets" and "Other assets" on the consolidated balance sheet.

Notes Receivable:

The Company had notes receivable of $4.9 million and $5.1 million as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheets, included in current and long-term other assets, approximated market rates for notes with similar terms and maturities, and, accordingly, the carrying amounts approximate fair value. The Company continually evaluates the collectability of these notes.

The fair values of the Company's senior term loan and senior revolving credit facility are based on market interest rates for debt with similar terms and maturities. The fair values of the Company's Senior Notes and Senior Subordinated Notes are based on their trading prices at December 31, 2010. The stated interest rates of the Company's nonrecourse credit facility approximate market rates for debt with similar terms and maturities, and, accordingly, the carrying amounts approximate fair value.

11. Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets:

Goodwill is allocated and tested at the reporting unit level. Goodwill is tested for impairment each year during the fourth quarter, and between annual tests if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount. The Company's reporting units are ARM and CRM.

NCO trade name is an indefinite-lived intangible asset and therefore not subject to amortization. Similar to goodwill, the trade name is reviewed at least annually for impairment.

Fair values are determined by using a combination of the market approach and income approach. The Company's fair value calculations are based on projected financial results that are prepared in connection with the Company's annual budget and forecasting process. The fair value calculations are also based on other assumptions including long-term growth rates and weighted average cost of capital.

2010 fair value calculations assumed long-term growth rates of 3 percent and weighted average cost of capital ranging from approximately 14 percent to 18 percent. Due to the expected impact of the economic environment on the Company's clients' business in 2011 and beyond, in the fourth quarter of 2010 the Company reduced the budgeted volumes from certain of its clients in the CRM reporting unit. As a result, the Company's 2010 annual impairment test for goodwill indicated that the carrying value of its CRM reporting unit exceeded its fair value.

2009 fair value calculations assumed long-term growth rates of 3 percent and weighted average cost of capital ranging from approximately 13 percent to 14 percent. Due to the expected impact of the economic environment on the Company's clients' business in 2010, in the fourth quarter of 2009 the Company reduced the expected volumes from certain of its clients in the CRM reporting unit. As a result, the Company's 2009 annual impairment test for goodwill indicated that the carrying value of its CRM reporting unit exceeded its fair value.

NCO GROUP, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

2008 fair value calculations assumed long-term growth rates of 4 percent and weighted average cost of capital ranging from approximately 13 percent to 14 percent. Late in 2008, the Company's ARM and Portfolio Management reporting units experienced a significant reduction in the collectability of both customer-placed and purchased accounts receivable resulting from deteriorating economic conditions. Due to the expected impact of the economic environment, the Company reduced its 2009 budgeted expectations for each of its reporting units. As a result, the Company's 2008 annual impairment test for goodwill and trade name indicated that the carrying values of all of its reporting units exceeded their fair values.

As a result of the annual impairment testing, the Company recorded goodwill impairment charges of $57.0 million in the CRM segment in 2010. In 2009, the Company recorded goodwill impairment charges of $24.8 million, and in 2008 the Company recorded goodwill impairment charges of $120.0 million and trade name impairment charges of $5.0 million. In 2008, goodwill impairment charges of $155.5 million and trade name impairment charges of $9.0 million, related to the Portfolio Management segment, were included in discontinued operations.

The Company did not record an impairment charge for the NCO trade name as a result of the annual testing since its fair value was greater than its carrying value. However, if the projected revenue associated with the NCO trade name decreases by more than five percent, the Company may have to record an impairment of the NCO trade name.

The following summarizes the changes in the Company's reporting units' goodwill (amounts in thousands):

Trade name includes the NCO trade name, which is an indefinite-lived intangible asset and therefore is not subject to amortization. Similar to goodwill, the NCO trade name is reviewed at least annually for impairment. At December 31, 2010, the balance of the NCO trade name was $82.6 million.

Trade name also includes certain trade names which are not considered to have indefinite lives and are therefore subject to amortization. At December 31, 2010 and 2009, the gross carrying amount of these trade names was $2.0 million, and the accumulated amortization was $1.1 million and $741,000, respectively.

Other intangible assets subject to amortization consist of customer relationships and non-compete agreements. During 2009, the Company began to reduce its purchases of portfolios of accounts receivable and has made a decision to minimize further investments in purchased accounts receivable in the future. This decision resulted primarily from the continuation of the difficult collection environment, the competitive market for portfolio investments, as well as potential regulatory changes affecting the purchased accounts receivable business. As a result of this decision, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $5.3 million in 2009, for the Portfolio Management reporting unit's customer relationship intangible assets, which is included in discontinued operations.

Senior Credit Facility:

The Company has a senior credit facility ("Credit Facility") with a syndicate of financial institutions that, as of December 31, 2010, consisted of a term loan and a $100.0 million revolving credit facility. The Company is required to make quarterly principal repayments of $1.5 million on the term loan until its maturity in May 2013, at which time its remaining balance outstanding is due. The Company is also required to make quarterly prepayments of 75 percent of the excess cash flow from the Company's purchased accounts receivable, and annual prepayments of 75 percent or 50 percent of its excess annual cash flow, based on its leverage ratio, less the amounts paid during the year from the purchased accounts receivable excess cash flow prepayments. The revolving credit facility requires no minimum principal payments until its maturity. The availability of the revolving credit facility is reduced by any unused letters of credit ($5.0 million at December 31, 2010). As of December 31, 2010, the Company had $85.0 million of remaining availability under the revolving credit facility.

All borrowings bear interest at an annual variable rate, based on either the prime rate (3.25 percent at December 31, 2010), the federal funds rate (0.13 percent at December 31, 2010), or LIBOR (0.26 percent 30-day LIBOR at December 31, 2010) plus an applicable margin, which is based on the type of rate and the Company's funded debt to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") ratio, as defined in the loan agreement, subject to certain interest rate minimum requirements. The Company is charged a quarterly commitment fee on the unused portion of the revolving credit facility at an annual rate of 0.50 percent. For the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, the effective interest rate on the Credit Facility was approximately 9.23 percent and 8.61 percent, respectively. The Credit Facility also requires that the Company obtain certain levels of interest rate protection.

Borrowings under the Credit Facility are collateralized by substantially all of the Company's assets. The Credit Facility contains certain financial and other covenants such as maintaining a maximum leverage ratio and a minimum interest coverage ratio, and includes restrictions on, among other things, acquisitions, the incurrence of additional debt, investments, investments in purchased accounts receivable, disposition of assets, liens and dividends and other distributions. At December 31, 2010, the Company was not in compliance with its leverage ratio maximum of 5.75, and its interest coverage ratio minimum of 1.80; however, the Company received a waiver from its lenders for this breech of financial covenants.

Due to the expected impact of the economic environment on the Company's clients' business, and the resulting expected impact of that on the Company's 2011 results, as well as financial covenant ratio adjustments required under the Credit Facility in 2011, the Company became uncertain of its ability to remain in compliance with the financial covenants through 2011. Therefore, on March 25, 2011, the Company amended the Credit Facility to, among other things, adjust certain financial covenants, including increasing certain maximum leverage ratios and decreasing certain minimum interest coverage ratios, extend the maturity date of the revolving credit facility from November 15, 2011 to December 31, 2012 and reduce the maximum borrowing capacity to $75.0 million through November 15, 2011 and $67.5 million thereafter, and permit the Company to sell all or a portion of its portfolios of purchased accounts receivable. Management believes that the Company will be able to maintain compliance with these covenants in 2011. The Company's ability to maintain compliance with the covenants will be highly dependent on the Company's results of

operations and, to the extent necessary, the Company's ability to implement remedial measures such as further reductions in operating costs. If the Company were to enter into an agreement with its lenders for future covenant compliance relief, such relief could result in additional fees and higher interest expense.

If an event of default, such as failure to comply with covenants or change of control, and the failure to negotiate and obtain any required relief from the lenders, were to occur under the Credit Facility, the Company would not be able to borrow under the revolving credit facility and the lenders would be entitled to declare all amounts outstanding under it immediately due and payable and foreclose on the pledged assets. Under these circumstances, the acceleration of the Company's debt could have a material adverse effect on its business.

Senior Notes and Senior Subordinated Notes:

The Company has $165.0 million of floating rate senior notes due 2013 ("Senior Notes") and $200.0 million of 11.875 percent senior subordinated notes due 2014 ("Senior Subordinated Notes") (collectively, "the Notes"). The Notes are guaranteed, jointly and severally, on a senior basis with respect to the Senior Notes and on a senior subordinated basis with respect to the Senior Subordinated Notes, in each case by all of the Company's existing and future domestic restricted subsidiaries (other than certain subsidiaries and joint ventures engaged in financing the purchase of delinquent accounts receivable portfolios and certain immaterial subsidiaries).

The Senior Notes are senior unsecured obligations and are senior in right of payment to all existing and future senior subordinated indebtedness, including the Senior Subordinated Notes, and all future subordinated indebtedness. The Senior Notes bear interest at an annual rate equal to LIBOR plus 4.875 percent, reset quarterly. For the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, the effective interest rate of the Senior Notes was approximately 5.21 percent and 5.82 percent, respectively. The Company may redeem the Senior Notes, in whole or in part, at any time at varying redemption prices depending on the redemption date, plus accrued and unpaid interest.

The Senior Subordinated Notes are unsecured senior subordinated obligations and are subordinated in right of payment to all existing and future senior indebtedness, including the Senior Notes and borrowings under the Credit Facility. The Company may redeem the Senior Subordinated Notes, in whole or in part, at any time on or after November 15, 2010 at varying redemption prices depending on the redemption date, plus accrued and unpaid interest.

The indentures governing the Notes contain a number of covenants that limit the Company's and its restricted subsidiaries' ability, among other things, to: incur additional indebtedness and issue certain preferred stock, pay certain dividends, acquire shares of capital stock, make payments on subordinated debt or make investments, place limitations on distributions from restricted subsidiaries, issue or sell capital stock of restricted subsidiaries, guarantee indebtedness, sell or exchange assets, enter into transactions with affiliates, create certain liens, engage in unrelated businesses, and consolidate, merge or transfer all or substantially all of the Company's assets and the assets of its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis. As of December 31, 2010, the Company was in compliance with all required covenants. In addition, upon a change of control, the Company is required to offer to repurchase all of

the Notes then outstanding, at a purchase price equal to 101 percent of their principal amount, plus any accrued interest to the date of repurchase.

Nonrecourse Credit Facility:

The Company has a nonrecourse credit facility that funded certain purchases of accounts receivable prior to 2009. The Company does not have the ability to make any additional borrowings under the nonrecourse credit facility. The financing was structured, depending on the size and nature of the portfolio to be purchased, either as a borrowing arrangement or under various equity sharing arrangements. The lender financed non-equity borrowings with floating interest at an annual rate equal to LIBOR (0.26 percent 30-day LIBOR at December 31, 2010) plus 2.50 percent, or as negotiated. These borrowings are due two years from the date of each respective loan, unless otherwise negotiated. As additional return on the debt financed portfolios the lender receives residual cash flows, as negotiated, which is defined as all cash collections after servicing fees, floating rate interest, repayment of the borrowing, and the initial investment by the Company, including interest. Residual cash flow payments are accrued for as embedded derivatives.

Borrowings under this credit facility are nonrecourse to the Company, except for the assets within the entities established in connection with the financing agreement. The nonrecourse debt agreements contain a collections performance requirement, among other covenants, that, if not met, provides for cross-collateralization with any other portfolios financed by the nonrecourse lender, in addition to other remedies.

The debt outstanding under this facility was $1.8 million and $14.3 million as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively, which included $1.8 million and $2.1 million, respectively, of accrued residual interest. The effective interest rate on these loans, including the residual interest component, was approximately 10.8 percent and 12.8 percent for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The nonrecourse debt agreements contain certain covenants such as meeting minimum cumulative collection targets. As of December 31, 2010, the Company was in compliance with all required covenants.

Capital leases:

The Company leases two real estate facilities under capital leases. These leases have ten year terms, expiring in 2018.

14. Operating Leases:

The Company leases certain equipment and real estate facilities under noncancelable operating leases. These leases expire between 2011 and 2021, and most contain renewal options. The following represents the future minimum payments, by year and in the aggregate, under noncancelable operating leases with initial or remaining terms of one year or more. The following future minimum payments have been reduced by minimum sublease rentals of $350,000, due in the future under noncancelable subleases, and do not include the

The Company had a $104.0 million deferred tax asset for federal net operating loss carryforwards of $297.2 million at December 31, 2010, which expire between 2019 and 2030. The Company had a $93.7 million deferred tax asset for federal net operating loss carryforwards of $267.7 million at December 31, 2009.

At December 31, 2010, approximately $122.1 million of the Company's federal net operating loss carryforwards are subject to limitations as defined by Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code. Section 382 imposes limitations on a corporation's ability to utilize its NOL carryforwards if it experiences an "ownership change." In general terms, an ownership change results from transactions increasing the ownership of certain stockholders in the stock of a corporation by more than 50 percent over a three-year period.

The Company had a $6.6 million deferred tax asset for foreign net operating loss carryforwards of $24.5 million at December 31, 2010, which will begin to expire in 2013 and in some countries are indefinite. The Company had $18.1 million of foreign net operating loss carryforwards at December 31, 2009.

The Company had a deferred tax asset of $30.2 million for state net operating loss carryforwards at December 31, 2010, which expire between 2011 and 2030. At December 31, 2009, the Company had a deferred tax asset of $30.7 million for state net operating loss carryforwards.

The deferred tax liability related to intangible assets arose primarily from the Transaction on November 15, 2006, as well as other subsequent acquisitions.

Valuation Allowance:

In assessing the realization of deferred tax assets, the Company's management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible or the net operating losses can be utilized.

As a result of incurring cumulative losses over the past several years, the Company has provided for a full valuation allowance of $86.5 million on the total federal and certain state and foreign net deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2010. In addition, a valuation allowance of $24.2 million has been provided on a portion of deferred tax assets relating to certain foreign and state net operating losses and state tax credit carryforwards based on management's assessment that it is more likely than not that such amounts will not be realized. This represents a total increase in the valuation allowance of $42.3 million due primarily to an increase in federal and certain state net deferred tax assets and additional state and foreign net operating losses in 2010. Of the total increase in 2010, $3.1 million relates to adjustments to the beginning of the year balance of the valuation allowance for certain federal, state and foreign deferred tax assets due to changes in judgment in the realizabilty of the related deferred tax asset in future years.

The following table presents the changes in the valuation allowance for deferred tax assets (amounts in thousands):

			Additions

Effective Tax Rate:

A reconciliation of the U.S. statutory income tax rate to the effective rate was as follows:

	For the Year Ended December 31,

U.S. statutory income tax rate		35.0	%		35.0	%		35.0	%

Other, net		(1.8	)		2.9			1.1

Effective tax rate		(4.6	)%		1.3	%		16.8	%

The effective tax rate for the year ended December 31, 2010 is primarily impacted by the goodwill impairment and increase to the valuation allowance in 2010. The majority of our goodwill is not deductible for income tax purposes.

Taxes have not been provided on the cumulative undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries, which are deemed permanently reinvested, of $45.1 million and $41.9 million at December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Quantification of the deferred tax liability associated with permanently reinvested earnings is not practicable.

Uncertain Tax Positions:

As of December 31, 2010 and 2009, the Company had $11.1 million and $12.7 million in reserves for uncertain tax positions, including penalties that, if recognized, would affect the effective tax rate.

The Company recognizes interest related to uncertain tax positions in "Interest expense." Interest expense (benefit) on unrecognized tax benefits was $(519,000), $(2.7) million, and $681,000 for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively. As of December 31, 2010 and 2009, the Company had $4.0 million and $4.5 million, respectively, of accrued interest related to uncertain tax positions.

The Company recognizes penalties related to uncertain tax positions in the provision for income taxes. Penalties included in income taxes on unrecognized tax benefits were $78,000, $(192,000), and $203,000 for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively. As of December 31, 2010 and 2009, the Company had accrued penalties related to uncertain tax positions of $1.1 million and $1.0 million, respectively.

The Company believes that it is reasonably possible that a decrease of $1.2 million in unrecognized tax benefits may be necessary within the next twelve months due to a lapse in the statute of limitations. The Company's estimate of reasonably possible changes in unrecognized tax benefits during the next twelve months is classified as a current liability.

The Company is subject to federal, state and foreign income tax audits from time to time that could result in proposed assessments. The Company cannot predict with certainty how these audits will be resolved and whether the Company will be required to make additional tax payments, which may or may not include penalties and interest. As of December 31, 2010, the Company is no longer subject to federal income tax examinations for years prior to 2006. For most states and foreign countries where the Company conducts business, the Company is subject to examination for the preceding three to six years. In certain states and foreign countries, the period could be longer.

Management believes that the Company has provided sufficient tax provisions for tax periods within the statutory period of limitations not previously audited and that are potentially open for examination by the taxing authorities. Potential liabilities associated with these years will be resolved when an event occurs to warrant closure, primarily through the completion of audits by taxing jurisdictions. To the extent audits or other events result in a material adjustment to the accrued estimates, the effect would be recognized during the period of the event. There can be no assurance, however, that the ultimate outcome of audits will not have a material adverse impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Capital Stock:

The Company is authorized to issue three classes of capital stock: Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share, Class L Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share ("Class L") and Class A common stock, par value $0.01 per share ("Class A"). Shares of Class L, Class A and three series of Preferred Stock, Series A 14 percent PIK Preferred Stock ("Series A"), Series B-1 19 percent PIK Preferred Stock ("Series B-1"), and Series B-2 19 percent Preferred Stock ("Series B-2"), are issued and outstanding.

Series A is entitled to a quarterly "paid-in-kind" dividend at an annual rate of 14 percent and Series B-1 is entitled to a quarterly "paid-in-kind" dividend at an annual rate of 19 percent. Series B-2 is entitled to a yield at an annual rate of 19 percent and Class L is entitled to a yield at an annual rate of 14 percent. The dividends and yields are calculated on February 28, May 31, August 31, and November 30 of each year. The yields for Series B-2 and Class L are compounding and accumulate on the unreturned initial investment but are not declared until payment. As of December 31, 2010, the accumulated yield for shares of Series B-2 and Class L was $1.9 million and $68.1 million, respectively.

acquired were deemed cash dividend payments in 2008, and the remaining consideration of $3.2 million in addition to other post-closing adjustments resulted in a deemed investment of $2.2 million in 2009.

In March 2008, in connection with the OSI acquisition, the Company privately placed 802,262 shares of Series A, 37,738 shares of Class L and 1,012,261 shares of Class A for aggregate proceeds of $210.0 million. The entire amount of the proceeds was used to acquire OSI.

On December 8, 2008, the Company increased its authorized capital to the following amounts: 7,500,000 shares of Preferred Stock; 800,000 shares of Class L; and 4,500,000 shares of Class A. On December 9, 2008, the Company privately placed 41,026.6 shares of Series B-1 and 1,088.6 shares of Series B-2, for aggregate proceeds of $10.0 million.

On March 25, 2009, the Company sold 148,463.6 shares of its Series B-1 Preferred Stock and 19,957.4 shares of its Series B-2 Preferred Stock to One Equity Partners, Michael J. Barrist and certain members of executive management, and other co-investors for an aggregate purchase price of $40.0 million. The proceeds were used to pay down $15.0 million of term loan borrowings, and the remainder, net of expenses, of $22.5 million was used to repay borrowings under the revolving credit facility.

Preferred Stock and Class L, in the aggregate, have a preference on distributions (excluding paid-in-kind dividends) allocated as follows: first to unpaid yield accruing on Class L or Series A and the unreturned value of Series A issued in a paid-in-kind dividend, and second to the unreturned initial investment in Class L, excluding the portion of such investment that is attributable to the right of Class L to share generally in distributions, and the unreturned initial investments in Series A. Once this preference has been paid in full, all remaining distributions are payable to Class L and Class A on a pro-rata basis.

Preferred Stock is not entitled to vote, and Class L and Class A vote together as a single class, with each share entitled to one vote. In addition, the Company may not enter into an agreement or consummate a transaction that would result in a change of control or an initial public offering without the consent of the holders of a majority of the then outstanding shares of Series A and Class L voting as a single class.

Stock-based Compensation:

The Company has a Restricted Share Plan, as amended and restated that is administered by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors, which approves the grants to employees recommended by the Company's chief executive officer and to the Company's independent directors. Shares of restricted stock granted under the Restricted Share Plan vest in 25 percent increments over a period of four years, provided that the recipient remains employed by the Company. At December 31, 2010, an aggregate of 333,011 restricted shares of Class A common stock had been awarded and 3,656 shares of Class A common stock were available for future awards under the Restricted Share Plan. Compensation expense recognized related to the awards for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008 was $712,000, $1.1 million and $667,000, respectively. At December 31, 2010, there was $456,000 of unrecognized pre-tax compensation cost related to the non-vested restricted shares. The Company measures compensation expense based on the grant date fair value, and has elected to recognize this compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the weighted-average service period, which is expected to be four years.

17. Derivative Financial Instruments:

The Company may enter into forward exchange contracts to minimize the impact of currency fluctuations on transactions and cash flows. These contracts may be designated as cash flow hedges. At December 31, 2010, the Company had no forward exchange contracts outstanding.

The Company has interest rate swap agreements to minimize the impact of LIBOR fluctuations on interest payments on the Company's floating rate debt. The interest rate swaps may be designated as cash flow hedges. The interest rate swaps cover an aggregate notional amount of $293.7 million. The Company is required to pay the counterparties quarterly interest payments at a weighted average fixed rate ranging from 3.41 percent to 3.44 percent, and receives from the counterparties variable quarterly interest payments based on LIBOR. The net interest paid or received is included in interest expense. On March 25, 2009, the Company amended its senior credit facility, which amendment included a minimum LIBOR of 2.50 percent. This amendment caused the existing interest rate swaps to become ineffective and, as of March 25, 2009, these interest rate swaps were not accounted for as cash flow hedges. Accordingly, the fair value of the interest rate swaps at March 25, 2009 is being amortized to interest expense, using the effective interest rate method, over the remaining lives of the interest rate swap agreements, and future changes in the fair value of these interest rate swaps after March 25, 2009 are recorded in interest expense. The Company's interest rate swaps expire during the first quarter of 2011.

The Company has embedded derivatives relating to the contingent payment provision in its nonrecourse credit facility relating to purchased accounts receivable, and relating to the sellers' participation in collections that are in excess of minimum targets for certain portfolios of purchased accounts receivable.

19. Employee Benefit Plans:

The Company has a savings plan under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code, (the "Plan"), for its U.S. employees. The Plan allows all eligible employees to defer up to 15 percent of their income on a pretax basis through contributions to the Plan, subject to limitations under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. The Company will provide a matching contribution of 25 percent of the first six percent of an employee's contribution. The Company also has similar type plans for its international employees. The charges to operations for these benefits were $ 2.1 million, $2.3 million and $3.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

The Company has a deferred compensation plan, (the "Deferred Compensation Plan"), to permit eligible employees of the Company to defer receipt and taxation of their compensation from the Company each year up to the limit in effect under Section 402(g) of the Internal Revenue Code, less amounts contributed to the Deferred Compensation Plan. The Company, at its discretion, may make a contribution that will be allocated among participants in proportion to their deferrals for such year. All executive officers and other key employees designated by the Company are eligible to participate in the Deferred Compensation Plan. At December 31, 2010 and 2009, the Company had a liability of $957,000, related to the Deferred Compensation Plan.

The Company incurred $12.7 million, $12.8 million and $8.4 million of expense from vendors associated with these purchase commitments for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

Litigation and Investigations:

The Company is party, from time to time, to various legal proceedings, regulatory investigations, client audits and tax examinations incidental to its business. The Company continually monitors these legal proceedings, regulatory investigations, client audits and tax examinations to determine the impact and any required accruals.

Fort Washington Flood:

In June 2001, the first floor of the Company's Fort Washington, Pennsylvania, headquarters was severely damaged by a flood caused by remnants of Tropical Storm Allison. The Company subsequently decided to relocate its corporate headquarters to Horsham, Pennsylvania. The Company filed a lawsuit on August 14, 2001 in the Court of Common Pleas,

NCO GROUP, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

Montgomery County, Pennsylvania (Civil Action No. 01-15576) against the current landlord and the former landlord of the Fort Washington facilities to terminate the leases and to obtain other relief. The landlord and the former landlord filed counter-claims against the Company. The Company maintains a reserve that it believes is adequate to address its exposure to this matter and plans to continue to contest this matter.

Attorneys General:

From time to time, the Company receives subpoenas or other similar information requests from various states' Attorneys General, requesting information relating to its Company's debt collection practices in such states. The Company responds to such inquires or investigations and provides certain information to the respective Attorneys General offices. The Company believes it is in compliance with the laws of the states in which it does business relating to debt collection practices in all material respects. However, no assurance can be given that any such inquiries or investigations will not result in a formal investigation or an enforcement action. Any such enforcement actions could result in fines as well as the suspension or termination of its ability to conduct business in such states.

Other:

The Company is involved in other legal proceedings, regulatory investigations, client audits and tax examinations from time to time in the ordinary course of its business. Management believes that none of these other legal proceedings, regulatory investigations, client audits or tax examinations will have a materially adverse effect on the financial condition or results of operations of the Company.

21. Segment Reporting:

As discussed in note 1, in April and August 2011, Portfolio Management sold a significant portion of its purchased accounts receivable portfolios. Subsequent to the August sale, which constituted a significant portion of the Portfolio Management segment, the sold portfolios and related results are presented as discontinued operations on the consolidated statements of operations and statements of cash flows, and prior periods have been restated. The remaining portfolios of purchased accounts receivable are not significant and are part of ARM. The Company's business consists of two operating divisions: ARM and CRM. The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in note 2, "Accounting Policies."

ARM provides accounts receivable management services to consumer and commercial accounts for all market sectors including financial services, healthcare, retail and commercial, telecommunications, utilities, education, and government. ARM serves clients of all sizes in local, regional and national markets in North America, Europe and Australia through offices in North America, Asia, Europe and Australia. In addition to traditional accounts receivable collections, these services include developing the client relationship beyond bad debt recovery and delinquency management, and delivering cost-effective accounts receivable solutions to all market sectors.

22. Related Party Transactions:

The Company pays OEP a management fee of $3.0 million per year, plus reimbursement of expenses, for management, advice and related services. These fees are included in selling, general and administrative expenses.

OEP is managed by OEP Holding Corporation, a wholly owned indirect subsidiary of JPMorgan Chase & Co. ("JPM"), and JPM is a client of the Company. For the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, the Company received fees for providing services to JPM of $10.0 million, $12.6 million and $14.8 million, respectively. Additionally, an affiliate of Citigroup is a co-investor of the Company, and Citigroup is a client of the Company. For the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, the Company received fees for providing services to Citigroup of $47.8 million, $57.5 million and $69.5 million, respectively. At December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, the Company had accounts receivable of $1.5 million, $5.8 million and $3.3 million, respectively, due from Citigroup.

JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., an affiliate of JPM, is a lender under the Company's Credit Facility. The Credit Facility consists of substantially the same terms, including interest rates and collateral, as those prevailing for comparable transactions for unrelated parties, and does not involve more than the normal risk of uncollectibility or present other unfavorable features.

The Company also has certain corporate banking relationships with affiliates of JPM and is charged market rates for these services.

On January 2, 2008, the Company acquired SST, a third-party consumer receivable servicer. Prior to the acquisition, SST was an indirect wholly owned subsidiary JPM. JPM also indirectly wholly owns OEP, which has had a controlling interest in the Company since November 15, 2006 (note 4).

23. Recently Issued and Proposed Accounting Guidance:

In June 2009, the FASB issued authoritative guidance for transfers of financial assets. This guidance removes the concept of qualifying special-purpose entities and eliminates the exception from applying guidance related to consolidating of variable interest entities to qualifying special-purpose entities. This guidance requires additional disclosures in order to provide greater transparency about transfers of financial assets and a transferor's continuing involvement with transferred financial assets. The Company adopted this guidance on January 1, 2010, and it did not have a material impact on its financial condition or results of operations.

In October 2009, the FASB issued amended guidance for revenue recognition related to multiple-deliverable revenue arrangements. This guidance, among other things, creates a hierarchy for determining the selling price of a deliverable, which will now include an estimated selling price if neither vendor-specific objective evidence nor third-party evidence exist. This may result in more instances of separating consideration in multiple-deliverable arrangements. Disclosures related to multiple-deliverable revenue arrangements have also been expanded. This guidance was effective for the Company for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified on or after January 1, 2011, and it will not have a material impact on its financial condition or results of operations.

In June 2009, the FASB issued amended guidance for consolidation of variable interest entities. This guidance amends previous guidance to require companies to perform an analysis to determine if their variable interest gives them a controlling financial interest in the variable interest entity, and requires ongoing reassessments of who is the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity. This guidance also requires enhanced disclosures of information about involvement in a variable interest entity. The Company adopted this guidance on January 1, 2010, and it did not have a material impact on its financial condition or results of operations.

In January 2010, the FASB issued amended guidance for disclosures about fair value measurements, which requires new disclosures regarding transfers in and out of Level 1 and 2 measurements and requires additional disclosures regarding activity in Level 3 measurements. This guidance also clarifies existing fair value disclosures regarding the level of disaggregation and the input and valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The Company adopted this guidance on January 1, 2010, except for the requirement for additional disclosures of Level 3 activity which is effective on January 1, 2011, and it did not have a material impact on its financial condition or results of operations.

In April 2010, the FASB issued amended guidance for loan modifications when the loan is part of a pool that is accounted for as a single asset. This guidance clarifies that modifications of loans that are accounted for within a pool, which have evidence of credit deterioration upon acquisition, do not result in the removal of those loans from the pool even if the modification would otherwise be considered a troubled debt restructuring. An entity will continue to be required to consider whether the pool of assets in which the loan is included is impaired if expected cash flows for the pool change. The amended guidance was effective for the Company for loan modifications made in or after the third quarter of 2010. The Company adopted this guidance and it did not have a material impact on its results of operations or financial position.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

In July 2010, the FASB issued amended guidance for disclosures about financing receivables and allowances for credit losses. The guidance requires further disaggregated disclosures that improve financial statement users' understanding of (1) the nature of an entity's credit risk associated with its financing receivables and (2) the entity's assessment of that risk in estimating its allowance for credit losses as well as changes in the allowance and the reasons for those changes. The new disclosure requirements are effective for the Company for the annual reporting period ending December 31, 2010. Certain disclosures related to allowance and modification activities will be effective for the Company for reporting periods beginning January 1, 2011. The Company does not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on its financial condition or results of operations.

In December 2010, the FASB issued amended guidance for business combinations, specifically related to disclosures of supplementary pro forma information. The amended guidance specifies that if comparative financial statements are presented, then revenue and earnings of the combined entity should be disclosed as though the business combination, which occurred during the current year, had occurred as of the beginning of the comparable prior annual reporting period only. The amended guidance also expands the supplemental pro forma information disclosures to include a description of the nature and amount of material, nonrecurring pro forma adjustments directly attributable to the business combination. The amended guidance is effective for the Company for acquisitions occurring on or after January 1, 2011. The Company does not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on its financial condition or results of operations.

In December 2010, the FASB issued amended guidance for goodwill and other intangible assets, specifically related to when to perform step 2 of the goodwill impairment test for reporting units with zero or negative carrying amounts. Under the amended guidance, if a reporting unit's carrying amount is zero or negative then step 2 of the goodwill impairment test is required to be performed if it is more likely than not that a goodwill impairment exists. The amended guidance is effective for the Company on January 1, 2011. The Company is reviewing the guidance to assess the impact of adoption.
