NCO GROUP, INC.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
1. Nature of Operations:
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, Europe and Australia. Excluding reimbursable costs and fees, the Company’s largest client during the six months ended June 30, 2011, was in the telecommunications sector and represented 7.0 percent of the Company’s consolidated revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2011.
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 and the continued uncertainty of collectability, as well as potential regulatory changes affecting the purchased accounts receivable business.
In April 2011, Portfolio Management sold portfolios of purchased accounts receivable with a book value of $5.0 million. In August 2011, Portfolio Management signed an agreement to sell portfolios of purchased accounts receivable with a book value of $16.9 million, which is expected to close in August 2011 and is subject to customary closing conditions. In connection with the sales, the Company recorded write-downs of the value of the purchased accounts receivable of $18.6 million during the three months ended March 31, 2011, and $11.2 million during the three months ended June 30, 2011.
The Company’s business consists of three operating segments: ARM, CRM and Portfolio Management.
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.
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.
2. Accounting Policies (continued):
Interim Financial Information:
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for annual financial statements. The December 31, 2010 balance sheet was derived from the consolidated audited financial statements of the Company, but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments, except as otherwise disclosed herein) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Because of the seasonal nature of the Company’s business, operating results for the three-month and six-month period ended June 30, 2011, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2011, or for any other interim period.
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).
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.
Reimbursable Costs and Fees:
During the fourth quarter of 2010, the Company 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 the Company 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 six months ended June 30, 2010 have been revised to reflect the reimbursable costs and fees in both revenue and operating expenses in the statement of operations. The following summarizes the impact of this revision on the statement of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 (in thousands):

3. Restructuring Charges:
The Company has several restructuring plans under which it has recorded restructuring charges, primarily in conjunction with streamlining the cost structure of the Company’s operations. These charges primarily related to the elimination of certain redundant facilities, severance costs and professional fees. The severance accrual recorded for the six months ended June 30, 2011, included approximately $3.4 million related to termination benefits provided to the Company’s former President and Chief Executive Officer, who remains as the Company’s Chairman of the Board of Directors. The Company currently expects to pay the remaining severance balance through 2012 and the remaining lease balance through 2016.

4. Business Combinations:
On May 19, 2011, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets of Protocol Direct Marketing, Inc. and certain related entities (“Protocol”), a provider of BPO solutions specializing in contact center services, for approximately $20.8 million in cash, subject to certain post-closing adjustments, and the issuance of 9,812 shares of Series B-2 19 percent Preferred Stock and 132,823 shares of Class L Common Stock valued at $3.1 million. Based on preliminary estimates, the Company allocated $5.1 million of the purchase price to customer relationships, with an estimated useful life of 5 years, and recorded goodwill of $6.2 million in the CRM segment. As a result of the acquisition, the Company expects to enhance its CRM market penetration and capabilities, and to expand its current customer base.
5. Deferred Revenue:
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 the Company is obligated to provide the services has expired. The following summarizes the change in the balance of deferred revenue (amounts in thousands):

6. 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.
6. Fair Value (continued):
Recurring Measurement (continued):
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):

During the six months ended June 30, 2011, there were no transfers in or out of the Company’s Level 1, Level 2 or Level 3 fair value measurements.
The Company’s interest rate swaps matured during the first quarter of 2011.
To value the 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 validates the relevant exchange rates of its forward exchange contracts.
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 because they are unobservable. Changes in the fair market value of the embedded derivatives are recorded in interest expense on the statement of operations.

6. Fair Value (continued):
Non-Recurring Measurement:
The Company has goodwill and other intangible assets that are measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis and are adjusted to fair value only when their carrying values exceed their fair values. Inputs used to value these assets are considered Level 3 measurements because they are unobservable.
During the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, there were no adjustments to fair value as there were no indicators that would have required interim testing. The Company performs its annual testing of indefinite-lived intangible assets during the fourth quarter of each year.
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 is estimated based upon the Company’s estimates of future cash flows and the internal rate of return (“IRR”) derived at acquisition. In April 2011, Portfolio Management sold portfolios of purchased accounts receivable with a book value of $5.0 million. In August 2011, Portfolio Management signed an agreement to sell portfolios of purchased accounts receivable with a book value of $16.9 million, which is expected to close in August 2011 and is subject to customary closing conditions. In connection with the sales, the Company recorded write-downs of the value of the purchased accounts receivable of $18.6 million during the three months ended March 31, 2011, and $11.2 million during the three months ended June 30, 2011.
Long-Term Debt:
The following presents the carrying values and the estimated fair values of the Company’s long-term debt at June 30, 2011 (amounts in thousands):
|
| Carrying Value |
| Fair Value |
| ||
Senior term loan |
| $ | 479,454 |

| 200,000 |
| 169,000 |
| ||
Senior notes |
| 165,000 |
| 146,025 |
| ||
The fair values of the Company’s senior term loan and senior revolving credit facility were based on market interest rates for debt with similar credit ratings. The fair values of the Company’s senior notes and senior subordinated notes were based on their approximate trading prices at June 30, 2011.
7. Purchased Accounts Receivable:
As of June 30, 2011, the carrying value of Portfolio Management’s and ARM’s purchased accounts receivable were $26.5 million and $3.0 million, respectively. The total outstanding balance due, representing the original undiscounted contractual amount less collections since acquisition, was $34.3 billion at June 30, 2011 and $55.8 billion at December 31, 2010.
In April 2011, Portfolio Management sold portfolios of purchased accounts receivable with a book value of $5.0 million . In August 2011, Portfolio Management signed an agreement to sell portfolios of purchased accounts receivable with a book value of $16.9 million, which is expected to close in August 2011 and is subject to customary closing conditions. In connection with the sales, the Company recorded write-downs of the value of the purchased accounts receivable of $18.6 million during the three months ended March 31, 2011, and $11.2 million during the three months ended June 30, 2011.

7. Purchased Accounts Receivable (continued):
During the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, the Company purchased accounts receivable with a cost of $741,000 and $3.1 million, respectively, that had contractually required payments receivable at the date of acquisition of $31.9 million and $188.1 million, respectively, and expected cash flows at the date of acquisition of $1.4 million and $5.4 million, respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, the Company purchased accounts receivable with a cost of $1.1 million and $9.0 million, respectively, that had contractually required payments receivable at the date of acquisition of $36.5 million and $575.9 million, respectively, and expected cash flows at the date of acquisition of $2.1 million and $15.5 million, respectively.
8. Funds Held on Behalf of Clients:
In the course of the Company’s regular business activities as a provider of accounts receivable management services, the Company receives clients’ funds arising from the collection of accounts placed with the Company. These funds are placed in segregated cash accounts and are generally remitted to clients within 30 days. Funds held on behalf of clients of $100.3 million and $70.5 million at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively, have been shown net of their offsetting liability for financial statement presentation.
9. 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. No event occurred or circumstances changed since the last annual test that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying value. However, if the Company continues to experience adverse effects of the challenging economic and business environment, including changes in financial projections, the Company may have to recognize an impairment of all or some portion of its goodwill. The Company’s reporting units are ARM, CRM and Portfolio Management.
The following summarizes the change in the Company’s ARM and CRM reporting unit’s goodwill; there was no goodwill in the Company’s Portfolio Management reporting unit at June 30, 2011 or December 31, 2010 (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 June 30, 2011, 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 June 30, 2011, the gross carrying amount of these trade names was $2.0 million, and the accumulated amortization was $1.3 million.
9. Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets (continued):
Other intangible assets subject to amortization consist of customer relationships and non-compete agreements. The following represents the other intangible assets subject to amortization (amounts in thousands):

Senior Credit Facility:
The Company has a senior credit facility (“Credit Facility”) with a syndicate of financial institutions that consists of a term loan and a $75.0 million revolving credit facility. The Company is required to make quarterly principal repayments of approximately $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 in December 2012. The availability of the revolving credit facility is reduced by any unused letters of credit ($6.9 million at June 30, 2011). As of June 30, 2011, the Company had $22.1 million of remaining availability under the revolving credit facility.
10. Long-Term Debt (continued):
Senior Credit Facility (continued):
On March 25, 2011, the Company amended the Credit Facility to, among other things, adjust certain financial covenants, including increasing maximum leverage ratios and decreasing minimum interest coverage ratios, extend the maturity 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.
All borrowings bear interest at an annual variable rate, based on either the prime rate (3.25 percent at June 30, 2011), the federal funds rate (0.07 percent at June 30, 2011) or LIBOR (0.19 percent 30-day LIBOR at June 30, 2011) 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 ranging from 0.50 percent to 0.75 percent. The effective interest rate on the Credit Facility was approximately 7.80 percent and 9.18 percent for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, and 8.20 percent and 9.20 percent for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
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 June 30, 2011, the Company’s leverage ratio was 5.69, compared to the covenant maximum of 6.75, and the interest coverage ratio was 1.98, compared to the covenant minimum of 1.65. The Company was in compliance with all required financial covenants and was not aware of any events of default as of June 30, 2011.
Management believes that it will be able to maintain compliance with these covenants over the next twelve months. The Company’s ability to maintain compliance with the financial 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 or waivers, such covenant relief or waiver could result in additional fees and higher interest expense.
If an event of default, such as failure to comply with covenants, 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 the Credit Facility immediately due and payable and foreclose on the pledged assets. Under these circumstances, the acceleration of the payment of the Company’s debt would 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 November 2013 (“Senior Notes”) and $200.0 million of 11.875 percent senior subordinated notes due November 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. The effective interest rate of the Senior Notes was approximately 5.16 percent and 5.21 percent for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively and 5.17 percent and 5.18 percent for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, 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.
10. Long-Term Debt (continued):
Senior Notes and Senior Subordinated Notes (continued):
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 Senior Subordinated Notes bear interest at an annual rate equal to 11.875 percent. The Company may redeem the Senior Subordinated Notes, in whole or in part, at any time 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 June 30, 2011, 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.
11. Income Taxes:
The Company recorded income tax expense of $3.2 million and $1.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, and income tax expense of $5.1 million and $4.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The Company’s income tax expense differs from the amount of income tax determined by applying the statutory U.S. federal income tax rate to pre-tax income (loss) primarily as a result of the recognition of a valuation allowance on certain domestic net deferred tax assets and income tax expense attributable to state and foreign jurisdictions.
In general, the Company is required to use an estimated annual effective tax rate to measure the tax benefit or tax expense recognized in an interim period. The income tax expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 was calculated based on the results of operations for the period and does not reflect an estimated annual effective rate.
As a result of cumulative losses incurred by the Company since 2007, a valuation allowance was established due to the uncertainty that federal and certain state deferred tax assets would be realized in future years. The Company increased its valuation allowance by $27.9 million to $138.6 million as of June 30, 2011 from $110.7 million as of December 31, 2010, primarily as a result of federal and certain state deferred tax assets exceeding deferred tax liabilities (after consideration for any net deferred tax liabilities associated with non-amortizable assets such as goodwill and certain trade names).
The Company has also considered future taxable income and ongoing prudent and feasible tax-planning strategies in assessing the need for the valuation allowance. On a quarterly basis, management assesses whether it remains more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will not be realized. In the event the Company determines at a future time that it could realize its deferred tax assets in excess of the net amount recorded, the Company will reduce its deferred tax asset valuation allowance and decrease income tax expense in the period when the Company makes such determination.

13. Derivative Financial Instruments:
The Company enters 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. The Company had forward exchange contracts for the purchase of 944.9 million Philippine pesos and 6.3 million Canadian dollars outstanding at June 30, 2011, which mature throughout the remainder of 2011 and into 2012.
The Company had interest rate swap agreements to minimize the impact of LIBOR fluctuations on interest payments on the Company’s floating rate debt, which matured during the first quarter of 2011. The Company was required to pay the counterparties quarterly interest payments at a weighted average fixed rate, and received from the counterparties variable quarterly interest payments based on LIBOR. The net interest paid or received was 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 market value of the interest rate swaps at March 25, 2009 was 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 market value of these interest rate swaps after March 25, 2009 were recorded in interest expense.
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.

15. Commitments and Contingencies (continued):
Litigation and Investigations (continued):
Attorneys General:
From time to time, the Company receives subpoenas or other similar information requests from various states’ Attorneys General, requesting information relating to the Company’s debt collection practices in such states. The Company responds to such inquiries 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.

18. Recently Issued and Proposed Accounting Guidance:
In June 2011, the FASB issued guidance affecting the presentation of comprehensive income. The new guidance eliminates the option of presenting the components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in stockholders’ equity. Under the new guidance, the Company will have the option to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. In both choices, an entity is required to present each component of net income along with total net income, each component of other comprehensive income along with a total for other comprehensive income, and a total amount for comprehensive income. The new guidance is effective for the Company on January 1, 2012. The Company does not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on its financial condition or results of operations.
In May 2011, the FASB issued amended guidance for fair value measurement and disclosure in order to achieve commonality between U.S. GAAP and IFRS. As a result, the amendments change the wording used to describe many of the principles and requirements in U.S. GAAP for measuring fair value and for disclosing information about fair value measurements. For many of the requirements, the FASB does not intend for the amendments in this guidance to result in a change in the application of the current requirements. The new guidance is effective for the Company on January 1, 2012. The Company does not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on its financial condition or results of operations.
18. Recently Issued and Proposed Accounting Guidance (continued):
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 Company adopted this guidance on January 1, 2011, and it did not have an impact on the Company since it is for disclosure purposes only.
19. Subsequent Events:
On July 7, 2011, APAC Customer Services, Inc. (“APAC”), a leader in global outsourced services and solutions, and OEP announced that they had entered into a definitive merger agreement under which an affiliate of OEP will acquire 100% of APAC, through an all-cash transaction with an aggregate equity value of approximately $470 million. The transaction is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2011, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions, including approval of APAC’s shareholders. OEP has announced that it will seek to combine APAC with the Company to build market leadership in business process outsourcing and customer care solutions.
20. Subsidiary Guarantor Financial Information:
The Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, by certain domestic 100 percent owned subsidiaries of the Company (collectively, the “Guarantors”). Non-guarantors consist of all non-domestic subsidiaries, certain subsidiaries engaged in financing the purchase of delinquent accounts receivable portfolios, portfolio joint ventures (which are engaged in portfolio financing transactions) and certain immaterial subsidiaries (collectively, the “Non-Guarantors”). The following tables present the consolidating financial information for the Company (Parent), the Guarantors and the Non-Guarantors, together with eliminations, as of and for the periods indicated.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Forward-Looking Statements
Certain statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, other than historical facts, are forward-looking statements (as such term is defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the regulations thereunder), which are intended to be covered by the safe harbors created thereby. Forward-looking statements include, without limitation, statements as to:
· the Company’s expected future results of operations;
· economic conditions;
· the Company’s business and growth strategy;
· fluctuations in quarterly operating results;
· the possible combination with APAC;
· the integration of acquisitions;
· the final outcome of the Company’s litigation with its former landlord;
· statements as to liquidity and compliance with debt covenants;
· the effects of terrorist attacks, war and the economy on the Company’s business;
· expected increases in operating efficiencies;
· anticipated trends in the business process outsourcing industry;
· estimates of future cash flows and allowances for impairments of purchased accounts receivable;
· estimates of intangible asset impairments and amortization expense of customer relationships and other intangible assets;
· the effects of legal proceedings, regulatory investigations and tax examinations;
· the effects of changes in accounting guidance; and
· statements as to trends or the Company’s or management’s beliefs, expectations and opinions.
The words “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “plan,” “will,” “would,” “should,” “guidance,” “potential,” “continue,” “project,” “forecast,” “confident,” and similar expressions are typically used to identify forward-looking statements.

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, we have participated in the purchased accounts receivable business on an opportunistic basis. Beginning in 2009, we significantly reduced our purchases of accounts receivable. This decision resulted from declines in liquidation rates, competition for purchased accounts receivable and the continued uncertainty of collectibility, as well as potential regulatory changes affecting the purchased accounts receivable business.
We operate our business in three segments: ARM, CRM and Portfolio Management.
In April 2011, Portfolio Management sold portfolios of purchased accounts receivable with a book value of $5.0 million. In August 2011, Portfolio Management signed an agreement to sell portfolios of purchased accounts receivable with a book value of $16.9 million, which is expected to close in August 2011 and is subject to customary closing conditions. In connection with the sales, we recorded write-downs of the value of the purchased accounts receivable of $18.6 million during the three months ended March 31, 2011, and $11.2 million during the three months ended June 30, 2011.
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.
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 six months ended June 30, 2010 have
been 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 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 purchased accounts receivable;
· 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;
· volume fluctuations in our CRM services; and,
· variability in the collectability of existing portfolios.
On May 19, 2011, we acquired substantially all of the assets of Protocol Direct Marketing, Inc. and certain related entities, referred to as Protocol, a provider of BPO solutions specializing in contact center services, for approximately $20.8 million in cash, subject to certain post-closing adjustments, and the issuance of 9,812 shares of Series B-2 19 percent Preferred Stock and 132,823 shares of Class L Common Stock valued at $3.1 million. The Protocol acquisition was included in the CRM segment.

ARM’s revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, included $4.4 million and $10.9 million, respectively, of intercompany revenue from Portfolio Management which was eliminated upon consolidation.
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, and a $6.5 million decrease in fees from collection services performed for Portfolio Management. These decreases were partially offset by a slight improvement in collections. ARM’s revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 included $82.9 million and $82.7 million, respectively, of reimbursable costs and fees (discussed in more detail below).
The increase in CRM’s revenue was primarily due to the acquisition of Protocol in May 2011, which contributed $7.3 million of revenue, as well as increased client volumes related to the implementation of new business during 2011 and to moving certain business to offshore locations.
Portfolio Management’s revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2011, included an $11.2 million write-down of certain portfolios of purchased accounts receivable, which we anticipate selling in August 2011. Revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2011 also included a $245,000 net recovery of previously recorded impairment charges, which reduced the valuation allowance against the carrying value of the portfolios, compared to a net impairment of $1.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010. Portfolio Management’s collections decreased $16.2 million, or 61.8 percent, to $10.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011, from $26.2 million for the three months
ended June 30, 2010. Excluding the effect of the write-down and the net recoveries, Portfolio Management’s revenue represented 47.0 percent of collections for the three months ended June 30, 2011, as compared to 46.4 percent of collections for the three months ended June 30, 2010. The decrease in revenue and collections was primarily a result of the decision to minimize further investments in purchased accounts receivable during 2010 and 2011.

ARM’s payroll and related expenses as a percentage of revenue remained flat, despite the decrease in revenue. This was primarily due to cost saving initiatives, including off-shoring of back-office functions and ongoing restructuring.
The decrease in CRM’s payroll and related expenses as a percentage of revenue was primarily a result of cost savings initiatives and leveraging its infrastructure over the higher revenue base, attributable to moving new business to offshore locations with a lower cost structure.
Portfolio Management outsources all of its collection services to ARM and, therefore, has a relatively small fixed payroll cost structure.

The decrease in ARM’s selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenue was primarily due to cost saving initiatives, including ongoing restructuring of facilities.
The decrease in CRM’s selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenue was primarily attributable to cost savings initiatives as well as leveraging its infrastructure over the higher revenue base.
The decrease in Portfolio Management’s selling, general and administrative expenses resulted from a $6.5 million decrease in fees for collection services provided by ARM, which was due to the reduction in purchases of accounts receivable, since these servicing fees are based on collections. Included in Portfolio Management’s selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, was $4.4 million and $10.9 million, respectively, of intercompany expense from ARM, for services provided to Portfolio Management, which was eliminated in consolidation.
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 $82.8 million and $82.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, are recorded as both revenue and operating expenses on the statement of operations.
Restructuring charges. During the three months ended June 30, 2011, we incurred restructuring charges of $3.1 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 $4.9 million of restructuring charges for the three months ended June 30, 2010.
Depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization decreased to $25.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011, from $27.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010. The decrease was primarily attributable to lower depreciation resulting from more assets becoming fully depreciated.
Other income (expense). Interest expense decreased to $21.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011, from $22.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010. Interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 included $620,000 of net gains and $840,000 of net losses, respectively, from interest rate swap agreements and embedded derivatives. Other expense, net for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 included approximately $220,000 of net losses and $154,000 of net gains, respectively, resulting from foreign exchange contracts.
Income tax expense. For the three months ended June 30, 2011, we recorded income tax expense of $3.2 million on a pre-tax loss of $29.1 million, or an effective income tax rate of (11.1) percent. For the three months ended June 30, 2010, we recorded income tax expense of $1.9 million on a pre-tax loss of $23.5 million, or an effective tax rate of (8.0) percent. The Company’s income tax expense differs from the amount of income tax determined by applying the statutory U.S. federal income tax rate to pre-tax income (loss) primarily as a result of the recognition of a valuation allowance on certain domestic net deferred tax assets and income tax expense attributable to state and foreign jurisdictions.

Portfolio Management’s revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2011, included a $29.8 million write-down of certain portfolios of purchased accounts receivable, which were either sold in April 2011 or are expected to be sold in August 2011. Revenue for the

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.
The decrease in Portfolio Management’s selling, general and administrative expenses resulted from an $11.9 million decrease in fees for collection services provided by ARM, which was due to the reduction in purchases of accounts receivable, since these fees are based on collections.

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 $167.7
million and $166.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, are recorded as both revenue and operating expenses on the statement of operations.
Restructuring charges. During the six months ended June 30, 2011, we incurred restructuring charges of $15.3 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 $6.4 million of restructuring charges for the six months ended June 30, 2010. The severance accrual recorded for the six months ended June 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 $51.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011, from $55.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010. The decrease was primarily attributable to lower depreciation resulting from more assets becoming fully depreciated.
Other income (expense). Interest expense decreased to $43.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011, from $45.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010.

Other income, net for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 included approximately $220,000 of net losses and $352,000 of net gains, respectively, resulting from foreign exchange contracts.
Income tax expense. For the six months ended June 30, 2011, we recorded income tax expense of $5.1 million on a pre-tax loss of $70.5 million, or an effective income tax rate of (7.3) percent. For the six months ended June 30, 2010, we recorded income tax expense of $4.9 million on a pre-tax loss of $34.8 million, or an effective income tax rate of (14.1) 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.
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.
On July 7, 2011, APAC Customer Services, Inc. (“APAC”), a leader in global outsourced services and solutions, and OEP announced that they had entered into a definitive merger agreement under which an affiliate of OEP will acquire 100% of APAC, through an all-cash transaction with an aggregate equity value of approximately $470 million. The transaction is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2011, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions, including approval of APAC’s shareholders. OEP has announced that it will seek to combine APAC with the Company to build market leadership in business process outsourcing and customer care solutions. The terms of such combination have not been finalized and there can be no assurance that any such combination will be completed. We may have to borrow money, incur liabilities, or sell or issue stock as part of the combination and we may not be able to do so on terms favorable to us. Additional borrowings and liabilities may have a materially adverse effect on our liquidity and capital resources.
We have a senior credit facility that consists of a term loan ($479.5 million outstanding as of June 30, 2011) and a $75.0 million revolving credit facility ($46.0 million outstanding as of June 30, 2011). Additionally, we have $165.0 million of floating rate senior notes and $200.0 million 11.875 percent senior subordinated notes outstanding. As a result, we are significantly leveraged.
Borrowings under the senior credit facility are collateralized by substantially all of our assets. The senior 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.
On March 25, 2011, we amended our senior 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 over the next twelve months.
At June 30, 2011, our leverage ratio was 5.69, compared to the covenant maximum of 6.75, and our interest coverage ratio was 1.98, compared to the covenant minimum of 1.65. 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 June 30, 2011.
Our ability to maintain compliance with the financial covenants under our senior credit facility 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 2010 and into 2011 continued to be very difficult and there is uncertainty as to whether the economic and business climate in 2011 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 senior 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 senior credit facility immediately due and payable and foreclose on the pledged assets. In addition, the acceleration of the amounts due under the senior 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 senior 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 senior 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 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 used in operating activities was $5.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011, compared to cash provided by operating activities of $36.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010. The change was primarily attributable to the changes in working capital due to the timing of payments of operating items, as well as lower operating results for the six months ended June 30, 2011.
Cash Flows from Investing Activities. Cash used in investing activities was $11.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011, compared to cash provided by investing activities of $15.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010. The change was primarily attributable to $20.8 million of cash paid to acquire Protocol, as well as lower collections of purchased accounts receivable, net of purchases.
Cash Flows from Financing Activities. Cash provided by financing activities was $2.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011, compared to cash used in financing activities of $65.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010. The change was due primarily to increased borrowings under our revolving credit facility during the six months ended June 30, 2011, partially due to the acquisition of Protocol, compared to net repayments in the prior period.
Senior Credit Facility. Our senior credit facility is with a syndicate of financial institutions and consists of a term loan and a $75.0 million revolving credit facility. We are required to make quarterly principal repayments of approximately $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 June 30, 2011, the balance outstanding on the term loan was $479.5 million and there was $46.0 million outstanding on the revolving credit facility. The availability of the revolving credit facility is reduced by any unused letters of credit ($6.9 million at June 30, 2011). As of June 30, 2011, we had $22.1 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 June 30, 2011), the federal funds rate (0.07 percent at June 30, 2011) or LIBOR (0.19 percent 30-day LIBOR at June 30, 2011) plus an applicable margin, which is based on the type of rate and our 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. We are charged a quarterly commitment fee on the unused portion of the revolving credit facility at an annual rate ranging from 0.50 percent to 0.75 percent. The effective interest rate on the senior credit facility was approximately 7.78 percent and 9.18 percent for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, and 8.19 percent and 9.20 percent for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
Senior Notes and Senior Subordinated Notes. We have $165.0 million of floating rate senior notes due November 2013, referred to as the Senior Notes, and $200.0 million of 11.875 percent senior subordinated notes due November 2014, referred to as the Senior Subordinated Notes, collectively referred to as 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 bear interest at an annual rate equal to LIBOR plus 4.875 percent, reset quarterly.
For a description of the covenants and other material terms of the Notes, see “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Liquidity and Capital Resources” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.
Contractual Obligations. There have been no material changes, outside the ordinary course of our business, to our contractual obligations as reported in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.
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. As of June 30, 2011, none of our derivatives were accounted for as hedges. 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 Philippine peso, the Canadian dollar, 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 June 30, 2011, we had $691.2 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.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
General. The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States 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: goodwill, other intangible assets and purchase accounting, revenue recognition for purchased accounts receivable, income taxes, and allowance for doubtful accounts. These are described in “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and in note 2 to our 2010 financial statements, both of which are included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010. During the six months ended June 30, 2011, we did not make any material changes to our estimates or methods by which estimates are derived with regard to our critical accounting policies.
Recently Issued Accounting Guidance
For a discussion of recently issued accounting guidance, see note 18 in our Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Form 10-Q.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
Included in Item 2, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, of this Report on Form 10-Q.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Our management, with the participation of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e), as of June 30, 2011. Based on that evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this Report, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective in reaching a reasonable level of assurance that the (i) information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms and (ii) information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management including our principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Our management, with the participation of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, also conducted an evaluation of our internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f), to determine whether any changes occurred during the quarter ended June 30, 2011, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. Based on that evaluation, there were no such changes during the quarter ended June 30, 2011.
A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all controls systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within our company have been detected. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.
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. See “Item 3. Legal Proceedings” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.
Attorneys General:
From time to time, the Company receives subpoenas or other similar information requests from various states’ Attorneys General, requesting information relating to the Company’s debt collection practices in such states. The Company responds to such inquiries 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 the Company’s 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 or tax examinations will have a materially adverse effect on the financial condition or results of operations of the Company.
In addition to the other information set forth in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in Part I, “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010, referred to as the “2010 Form 10-K”, which could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results. Except as set forth below, the risk factors in our 2010 Form 10-K have not materially changed. The risks described herein and in our 2010 Form 10-K are not the only risks we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and/or operating results.
The potential combination with APAC presents additional risks to the Company.
On July 7, 2011, APAC Customer Services, Inc. (“APAC”), a leader in global outsourced services and solutions, and OEP announced that they had entered into a definitive merger agreement under which an affiliate of OEP will acquire 100% of APAC, through an all-cash transaction with an aggregate equity value of approximately $470 million. The transaction is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2011, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions, including approval of APAC’s shareholders. OEP has announced that it will seek to combine APAC with the Company to build market leadership in business process outsourcing and customer care solutions. The terms of such combination have not been finalized and there can be no assurance that any such combination will be completed. We may have to borrow money, incur liabilities, or sell or issue stock as part of the combination and we may not be able to do so on terms favorable to us. Additional borrowings and liabilities may have a materially adverse effect on our liquidity and capital resources. Completing any such combination involves a number of risks, including diverting management’s attention from our daily operations, the use of additional management, operational and financial resources, system conversions, and the inability to maintain key pre-combination relationships with customers, suppliers and employees. We might not be able to successfully integrate the combination into our business or operate the combined businesses profitably, and we may be subject to unanticipated problems and liabilities of APAC.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
On May 19, 2011, the Company issued 9,812 shares of Series B-2 19 percent Preferred Stock and 132,823 shares of Class L Common Stock to the sellers as partial consideration for the acquisition of Protocol. In addition, the Company paid cash consideration of $20.8 million, subject to certain post-closing adjustments.
The sale and issuance of the securities in the transaction described above was exempt from registration under the Securities Act in reliance upon Section 4(2) of the Securities Act. The Company relied on representations made by the sellers that they were acquiring the securities for investment and not with a view to the distribution of such securities and that they had such knowledge and experience in business and financial matters that they were capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in the securities, among others.

(1) | For the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, the Company’s ratio of earnings to fixed charges indicated a less than one-to-one coverage. The deficiency was a result of earnings that were $30.3 million and $24.9 million less than fixed charges for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, and $72.7 million and $37.5 million less than fixed charges for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. |
(2) | Loss before income taxes and noncontrolling interest includes restructuring charges of $3.1 million and $4.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, and an $11.2 million write-down of the value of certain portfolios of purchased accounts receivable for the three months ended June 30, 2011. |
(3) | Loss before income taxes and noncontrolling interest includes restructuring charges of $15.3 million and $6.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, and a $29.8 million write-down of the value of certain portfolios of purchased accounts receivable for the six months ended June 30, 2011. |
