NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(In thousands, except per share data)

1.  BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X.  Accordingly, they do not include all information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements.  These financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring entries, except as noted) which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for fair presentation.  Operating results during the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, are not necessarily indicative of operating results that may be expected during any other interim period of 2010 or the year ending December 31, 2010.

The consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2009, was derived from audited financial statements at that date, but does not include all information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements.  For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the StarTek, Inc. Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009.

Certain reclassifications have been made to 2009 information to conform to the 2010 presentation.

Unless otherwise noted in this report, any description of “us” refers to StarTek, Inc. and our subsidiaries.  The assets and liabilities of our foreign operations that are recorded in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at exchange rates prevailing at the balance sheet date.  Revenues and expenses are translated at the weighted-average exchange rate during the reporting period.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

Accounting Standards Update No. 2010-06 “Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements” (“ASU No. 2010-06”)

In January 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU No. 2010-06. This update requires additional disclosure within the roll forward of activity for assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis, including transfers of assets and liabilities between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy and the separate presentation of purchases, sales, issuances and settlements of assets and liabilities within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. In addition, the update requires enhanced disclosures of the valuation techniques and inputs used in the fair value measurements within Levels 2 and 3. The new disclosure requirements are effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the disclosure of purchases, sales, issuances and settlements of Level 3 measurements. Those disclosures are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010. We adopted ASU No. 2010-06 related to Levels 1 and 2 disclosures effective April 1, 2010, and the adoption of this guidance did not have a material effect on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

2.  SEGMENT INFORMATION

We operate within three business segments, U.S., Canada and Offshore.  The business segments align with those regions in which our services are rendered.  As of June 30, 2010, our U.S. segment included the operations of our eleven facilities in the U.S.; our Canada segment included the operations of our four facilities in Canada; and our Offshore segment included the operations of two facilities in the Philippines and one in Costa Rica.  We use gross profit as our measure of profit and loss for each business segment and do not allocate selling, general and administrative expenses to our business segments.

Information about our reportable segments, which correspond to the geographic areas in which we operate, is as follows:

3.  NET (LOSS) INCOME PER SHARE

Basic and diluted net (loss) income per common share is computed on the basis of our weighted average number of common shares outstanding, as determined by using the calculations outlined below:

Diluted earnings per share is computed on the basis of our weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus the effect of dilutive outstanding stock options and non-vested restricted stock using the treasury stock method.  Anti-dilutive securities totaling 2,520 and 2,520 in the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, respectively, and 2,214 in the six months ended June 30, 2009, were not included in our calculation due to our net loss from continuing operations during those periods and anti-dilutive securities totaling 2,156 in the three months ended June 30, 2009, were not included in our calculation because the stock options’ exercise prices were greater than the average market price of our common shares during the period.

4.  IMPAIRMENT LOSSES AND RESTRUCTURING CHARGES

Impairment Losses

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, we recorded approximately $451 ($200 in our U.S. segment and $251 in our Canadian segment) and $2,613 of impairment losses ($2,205 in our U.S. segment and $408 in our Canadian segment), due to the impairment of certain long-lived assets for which the carrying value of those assets is not recoverable.  During the three months ended June 30, 2010, the impaired assets in our Canadian location include computer and telephone equipment, furniture and fixtures, leasehold improvements and software for a location we plan to close in November 2010 and the carrying value is not recoverable.    During the three months ended June 30, 2010, the impairment losses in our U.S. segment relate to a reduction in the fair value of our building that is held for sale at our closed Laramie, Wyoming facility.  We have committed to a plan to sell the assets in this location.  During the second quarter of 2010, we received a revised estimate of the selling price, and have reduced the value of the building to fair value or approximately $810.    We reclassified these long-lived assets as a current asset held for sale on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.  In order for an asset to be held for sale, management must determine that the asset is to be held for sale in its current condition, an active plan to complete the sale of the asset has been initiated and the sale of the asset is probable within one year.  We evaluated the facility during the first six months of 2010 and determined these assets meet all the criteria for an asset held for sale.

During the three months ended June 30, 2009, we incurred $0 of impairment losses and during the six months ended June 30, 2009, we incurred $1,756 of impairment losses in our Canadian segment, due to the impairment of certain long-lived assets for which the carrying value of those assets was not recoverable.

Restructuring Charges

We have closed the following facilities, and have recorded restructuring charges related to lease costs and other expenses related to the facility closures.  We record expenses in addition to the initially recognized expense when a change in estimate occurs or to accrete a discounted liability to the amount expected to be paid.  We recognized the liability when it was incurred, instead of upon commitment to a plan.

·                  Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada — February 2009

·                  Victoria, Texas — January 2010

·                  Laramie, Wyoming — January 2010

·                  Thunder Bay, Ontario, Canada — March 2010

The cumulative amount paid as of June 30, 2010 related to the above closures was $321 in our U.S. segment and $1,992 in our Canadian segment.  We expect to incur $387 in our U.S. segment and $4,082 in our Canadian segment (adjusted for the June 30, 2010 Canadian dollar to U.S. dollar exchange rate) relating to the above closures.  In the second quarter of 2010, we entered into a sublease agreement for our Thunder Bay, Ontario, Canada facility, which is effective from July 1, 2010 through the remainder of the lease term.  In July 2010, we entered into a sublease agreement for our Victoria, Texas facility, which is effective August 1, 2010 through the remainder of the lease term.  We assumed a sublease in our estimated restructuring liabilities for Thunder Bay and Victoria and do not expect to incur material changes to the restructuring liabilities in future periods as a result of the subleases.  We expect completion of the Regina and Laramie restructuring plans no later than 2013and 2011, respectively; however, it may be earlier or later depending on our ability to sublease the facility or buy-out the lease.  We have made certain assumptions related to our ability to sublease these facilities.  Refer to Note 8, “Fair Value Measurements,” of this Form 10-Q, for additional information on the fair value measurements for all assets and liabilities, including restructuring charges, that are measured at fair value in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

A summary of the activity under the restructuring plans as of June 30, 2010, and changes during the six months ended June 30, 2010, is presented below:

5.  DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

During the six months ended June 30, 2009, we recorded income from discontinued operations, net of tax, of $4,640 due to the sale of the assets of Domain.com, our then-wholly owned subsidiary, to A. Emmet Stephenson, Jr., Inc. (“Mr. Stephenson”).  Mr. Stephenson is one of our co-founders, managed the Domain.com subsidiary since 2006 and owns approximately 20% of our common shares outstanding.  Because the transaction involved a related party, the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors considered and approved the transaction.  The assets were sold in exchange for cash of $7,075, which resulted in a gain on the sale of $6,937.  Operating income from Domain.com prior to the sale was $27 and tax expense totaled $2,324, which resulted in $4,640 in income from discontinued operations, net of tax.  The results of operations and cash flows of Domain.com have been reported in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations as discontinued operations.

6.  PRINCIPAL CLIENTS

The following table represents revenue concentration of our principal clients.

The loss of a principal client and/or changes in timing or termination of a principal client’s product launch, volume delivery or service offering would have a material adverse effect on our business, revenue, operating results, and financial condition.   To limit our credit risk, management from time to time will perform credit evaluations of our clients. Although we are directly impacted by the economic conditions in which our clients operate, management does not believe substantial credit risk existed as of June 30, 2010.

In July 2010, we executed agreements with AT&T to ramp-down certain wireline services that we provide them.  Approximately 260 (not in thousands) full-time equivalent agent positions in two of our U.S. sites will be eliminated over the next nine months as business declines.  If we are unable to replace these positions with other work, our utilization at the two sites may be negatively affected.  We are currently exploring opportunities to fill the capacity in these sites.

Our work for AT&T is covered by several contracts for a variety of different lines of AT&T business.  Some of these contracts expire in 2010 and others in 2011.  We have negotiated extended terms for several contracts that were set to expire during the first six months of 2010.  The initial term of our master services agreement covering all AT&T work expired in January 2010.  After the initial term, the agreement automatically renews month-to-month.  We are currently negotiating a new master services agreement.  Until the new agreement is signed, our services provided to AT&T are covered under the existing master services agreement.

Our call center services agreement with T-Mobile became effective as of October 1, 2007 and has an initial term of two years.  After the initial term, the contract automatically renews for one-year periods thereafter, unless either party provides written notice of termination at least 60 days prior to the expiration of the then-current term.  Although the initial term of the contract ended on September 30, 2009, the contract automatically renewed for a one-year term which would expire on September 30, 2010.  We are currently negotiating a new contract with T-Mobile.  Until the new agreement is signed, our services provided to T-Mobile are covered under the existing agreement effective October 1, 2007.

We are working diligently to complete negotiation of the new agreements.  However, if we fail to do so, it would have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, and financial condition.

7.  DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS

We use derivatives to partially offset our business exposure to foreign currency exchange risk. We enter into foreign currency exchange contracts to hedge our anticipated operating commitments that are denominated in foreign currencies.  The contracts cover periods commensurate with expected exposure, generally three to nine months, and are principally unsecured foreign exchange contracts.  The market risk exposure is essentially limited to risk related to currency rate movements.  We operate in Canada, the Philippines and Costa Rica.  The functional currencies of our Canadian and Philippine operations are the Canadian dollar and the Philippine peso, respectively, which are used to pay labor and other operating costs in those countries. However, our client contracts primarily generate revenues which are paid to us in U.S. dollars.  In Costa Rica, our functional currency is the U.S. dollar and the majority of our costs are denominated in U.S. dollars.  We have elected to follow cash flow hedge

accounting in order to associate the results of the hedges with forecasted future expenses.  The current mark-to-market gain or loss is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”) as a component of stockholders’ equity and will be re-classified to operations as the forecasted expenses are incurred, typically within one year.  During the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, our cash flow hedges were highly effective and there were no amounts charged to the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for hedge ineffectiveness.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, we entered into Canadian dollar forward contracts with UMB Bank for a notional amount of 13,800 and 29,600 Canadian dollars, respectively, to hedge our foreign currency risk with respect to labor costs in Canada.  During the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, we entered into non-deliverable forward contracts with respect to the Philippine peso with UMB Bank for a notional amount of 322,000 and 322,000 Philippine pesos, respectively, to hedge our foreign currency risk with respect to labor costs in the Philippines.  As of June 30, 2010, we have not entered into any arrangements to hedge our exposure to fluctuations in the Costa Rican colon relative to the U.S. dollar.

The following table shows the notional principal of our derivative instruments as of June 30, 2010:

The above Canadian dollar foreign exchange contracts are to be delivered periodically through December 2010 at a purchase price of approximately $28,066, and the above Philippine peso foreign exchange contracts are to be delivered periodically through September 2010 at a purchase price of approximately $5,285, and as such we expect unrealized gains and losses reported in AOCI will be reclassified to earnings during the next twelve months.  The estimates of fair value are based on applicable and commonly used pricing models and prevailing financial market information as of June 30, 2010.  Refer to Note 8, “Fair Value Measurements,” of this Form 10-Q, for additional information on the fair value measurements for all assets and liabilities, including derivative assets and derivative liabilities, that are measured at fair value in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

The following table shows our derivative instruments measured at gross fair value as reflected in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009:

The following table shows the effect of our derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009:

8.  FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

Our derivative instruments are valued using third-party broker or counterparty statements, derived from pricing models using inputs based upon market information, including contractual terms, market prices and yield curves.  The inputs to the valuation pricing models are observable in the market, and as such are generally classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.

Restructuring Charges

As described in Note 4, “Impairment Losses and Restructuring Charges,” during the first half of 2010 we closed facilities in Thunder Bay, Ontario, Victoria, Texas and Laramie, Wyoming.  In February 2009, we closed our facility in Regina, Saskatchewan.  We estimated the fair value of our restructuring charges using a discounted cash flow model.  The cash flows consist of the future lease payment obligations required under the lease agreements.  Future cash flows also include estimated property taxes through the remainder of the lease terms, which are valued based upon historical tax payments.  The future cash flows were discounted using a rate of 3%.  In each of the restructuring plans, we made an assumption that we would be able to sublease the facilities prior to the lease expiration based on a third-party broker’s assessment of our ability to successfully negotiate early termination agreements with landlords and/or to sublease the facility.  Given that the restructuring charges were valued using our internal estimates using a discounted cash flow model, we have classified the accrued restructuring costs as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.

Long-Lived Assets

As described in Note 4, “Impairment Losses and Restructuring Charges,” during the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, we recorded approximately $451 ($200 in our U.S. segment and $251 in our Canadian segment) and $2,613 of impairment losses ($2,205 in our U.S. segment and $408 in our Canadian segment), due to the impairment of certain long-lived assets.  The long-lived assets primarily include computer and telephone equipment, furniture and fixtures, leasehold improvements and software.  For assets which were not recoverable through future cash flows or could not be used in another facility, we reduced the carrying value to fair value.  The fair value of these long-lived assets after the impairment charge was $243 for the assets impaired during the three months ended June 30, 2010 and $3,155 for the assets impaired during the six months ended June 30, 2010.  Given that the impairment losses were valued using internal estimates, we have classified the remaining fair value of long-lived assets as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. Included in impairment losses during the three months ended June 30, 2010, is $200 related to a change in estimated fair value of the building in our Laramie, Wyoming location which we have classified as held for sale.  During the six months ended June 30, 2010, we committed to a plan to sell the assets in this closed location.  The measurement of the fair value of the building was based upon our third-party real estate broker’s estimate of fair value using the sale prices of comparable assets.  As these inputs to the determination of fair value are based upon non-identical assets and use significant unobservable inputs, we have classified the assets as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.

Fair Value Hierarchy

The following tables set forth our assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis and a non-recurring basis by level within the fair value hierarchy.  Assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

9.  DEBT

On July 28, 2010, we entered into a business loan agreement and a promissory note (together the “Agreement”) with UMB Bank Colorado, N.A. (“UMB Bank”) to renew our $15 million secured revolving line of credit.  The Agreement is effective August 1, 2010 through August 1, 2011 and replaces our $15 million secured revolving line of credit with UMB Bank which will expire by its terms on August 1, 2010.  There was no balance outstanding on the line of credit as of June 30, 2010.

Borrowings under the Agreement bear interest, at our option at the time of the borrowing, of the thirty, sixty or ninety day LIBOR index, plus 1.75%.  The interest rate shall never be less than 3.25% per annum.  Under the Agreement, we granted UMB Bank a security interest in all of our present and future accounts receivable, general intangibles, and owned real property.   In addition, under the Agreement, we are subject to certain financial covenants, which include maintaining 1) a ratio of total liabilities to tangible net worth of less than 1.0 to 1.0, 2) a tangible net worth of at least $100 million, 3) unencumbered liquid assets, defined as cash, certificate of deposits and marketable securities, of at least $10 million measured on the last day of each fiscal quarter and 4) a cash flow coverage ratio, as defined in the Agreement, of greater than 1.50 to 1.0 measured on the last day of each fiscal quarter for the previous twelve months.
