Forward-Looking Statements and Factors That May Affect Future Results
In passing the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (the Reform Act), Congress
encouraged public companies to make forward-looking statements by creating a safe harbor to
protect companies from securities law liability in connection with forward-looking statements. We
intend to qualify our written and oral forward-looking statements for protection under the Reform
Act and any other similar safe harbor provisions. Unless the context indicates otherwise, the words
Company, we, our, and us when used in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q refer collectively
to APAC Customer Services, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries.
Generally, forward-looking statements include expressed expectations, estimates and projections of
future events and financial performance and the assumptions on which these expressed expectations,
estimates and projections are based. Statements that are not historical facts, including statements
about our beliefs and expectations and those of our management, are forward-looking statements.
Sometimes these statements will contain words such as believes, expects, anticipates,
intends, estimates, goals, would, could, should, plans, and other similar words. All
forward-looking statements are inherently uncertain as they are based on various expectations and
assumptions about future events, and they are subject to known and unknown risks and uncertainties
that can cause actual events and results to differ materially from historic results and those
projected.
Due to such uncertainties, the investment community is cautioned not to place undue reliance on our
written or oral forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date on which they were
made. If no date is provided, such statements speak only as of the date of this Quarterly Report on
Form 10-Q. We expressly undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking
statements as a result of changed assumptions, new information, future events or otherwise.
Forward-looking statements are contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, primarily in Items
2 and 3. Moreover, through our senior management, we may from time to time make forward-looking
statements about matters described herein or about other matters concerning us.
There are numerous factors that could prevent us from achieving our goals and cause future results
to differ materially from historic results or those expressed or implied by forward-looking
statements including, but not limited to, the following:
|
|
A large portion of our revenue is generated from a limited number
of clients and the loss of one or more of them, or a reduction in
their demand for our services, could materially affect our
financial results. |
|
|
Our operating results and financial condition may be affected by
the performance of our clients and unfavorable general economic
conditions. |
|
|
The failure to effectively manage our production capacity and our
workforce could negatively impact our financial results. |
|
|
Our success is subject to the terms of our client contracts and if
we are unable to continue operating under existing client
contracts or renew existing client contracts with terms favorable
to us, our results of operations and financial condition may be
adversely affected by the loss of clients or by the less favorable
terms. |
|
|
Our business may be affected by our cash flows from operations and
our ability to comply with our debt covenants and funding
requirements under our credit facility. |
|
|
Our financial results may be affected by risks associated with
international operations and expansion, including, but not limited
to foreign currency fluctuations and changes to laws in other
countries. |
|
|
Our principal shareholder can exercise significant control over
the Company and, as a result of such control may be able to exert
considerable influence over our future direction and operations. |
|
|
Our success depends on our ability to recruit and retain a
sufficient number of qualified key personnel and the loss of the
services of key personnel without adequate replacement or the
inability to attract new qualified personnel could have a material
adverse effect on us. |
|
|
We operate in a highly competitive industry and our financial
results may suffer if we are unable to adequately address
potential downward pricing pressures and other competitive
factors. |
3
|
|
Circumstances outside our control such as typhoons, hurricanes, earthquakes, floods and other
acts of God, political instability, equipment malfunction, telephone or data service
interruptions, changes in the telecommunications market, war and terrorism could seriously harm
our domestic or international business operations. |
|
|
Unauthorized disclosure of sensitive or confidential client and
customer data could expose us to protracted and costly litigation,
penalties and may cause us to lose clients. |
|
|
Our business and our clients businesses are subject to federal
and state regulation and industry standards and the costs of
compliance with, or liability for violation of, existing or future
regulations or standards could significantly increase our costs of
doing business. |
|
|
The costs and management time and attention associated with
litigation could result in a negative impact to financial results. |
|
|
Our business is subject to rapid changes in technology and if our
technology is rendered obsolete or we are unable to compete
effectively, our operating results and financial condition could
be materially and adversely affected. |
|
|
Volatility in our stock price may result in loss of investment for
shareholders as well as litigation, substantial cost and diversion
of managements attention. |
See our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for further discussion of the
risks and uncertainties associated with our business, in particular, the discussion in Item 1A of
Part I of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 3, 2010, and in Item 1A
of Part II of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
In various places throughout this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q we use certain non-GAAP financial
measures when describing our performance. A non-GAAP financial measure is defined as a numerical
measure of a companys financial performance that excludes or includes amounts so as to be
different than the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with
GAAP in the statements of operations, balance sheets or statements of cash flows of a company. We
believe that non-GAAP financial measures provide meaningful supplemental information and are useful
in understanding our results of operations and analyzing of trends because they exclude certain
charges such as interest, taxes and depreciation and amortization expenses that are not part of our
ordinary business operations. We also believe that non-GAAP financial measures are useful to
investors and analysts in allowing for greater transparency with respect to the supplemental
information used by us in our financial and operational decision-making. In addition, we believe
investors, analysts and lenders benefit from referring to non-GAAP measures when assessing our
performance and expectations of our future performance. However, this information should not be
used as a substitute for our GAAP financial information; rather it should be used in conjunction
with financial statement information contained in our unaudited condensed consolidated financial
statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. We discuss non-GAAP financial measures in Item 2 of
this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q under the caption Managements Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of OperationsNon-GAAP Financial Measures. Pursuant to the
requirements of Regulation G, we have provided a reconciliation of all non-GAAP financial measures
to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure in Item 2 of this Quarterly Report on
Form 10-Q.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
(Dollars in thousands, except per share data)
1. Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of APAC Customer
Services, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively, the Company) have been prepared in accordance
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP) for interim financial
information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they
do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements.
In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of a normal recurring nature) considered
necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Interim consolidated financial statements
are not necessarily indicative of the financial position or operating results for an entire year.
The Companys international customer care centers use their local currency, the Philippine peso and
the Dominican peso, as their functional currency. Assets and liabilities of international customer
care centers have been translated at period-end rates, and income and expenses have been translated
using average exchange rates for the respective periods. All inter-company transactions and
balances have been eliminated. The balance sheet at October 3, 2010 has been derived from the
unaudited financial statements at that date and includes all of the information and notes required
by GAAP for interim financial statements. These interim financial statements should be read in
conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto included in Item 8 of Part II
of the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 3, 2010. Copies of
the Companys filings are available on a web site maintained by the SEC
at http://www.sec.gov.
The Company operates on a thirteen week fiscal quarter that ends on the Sunday closest to September
30. The Company operates on a 52/53 week fiscal year that ends on the Sunday closest to
December 31.
2. New Accounting Pronouncements
Fair Value
In January 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued guidance amending
Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 820 Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures. ASC
Sub-topic 820-10 and related guidance was amended to require disclosure of the transfers in and out
of Levels 1 and 2 and a schedule for Level 3 that separately identifies purchases, sales, issuances
and settlements and requires more detailed disclosures regarding valuation techniques and inputs.
This update is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009
except for the disclosures about purchases, sales issuances and settlements in the roll forward of
activity in Level 3 fair value measurements. Those disclosures are effective for fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 2010, and for interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption
of this guidance effective January 4, 2010, the beginning of the Companys current fiscal year, did
not have a material impact on the Companys unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
See Note 12 for disclosures associated with the adoption of this guidance.
Revenue Recognition
In October 2009, the FASB issued guidance on ASC Topic 605 Revenue Recognition related to revenue
arrangements with multiple deliverables, which revises the criteria for separating, measuring, and
allocating arrangement consideration to each deliverable in a multiple element arrangement. The
guidance requires companies to allocate revenue using the relative selling price of each
deliverable, which must be estimated if the Company does not have a history of selling the
deliverable on a stand-alone basis or third-party evidence of selling price. This guidance is
effective prospectively for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified in fiscal
years beginning on or after June 15, 2010, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of this
guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Companys unaudited condensed
consolidated financial statements.

Subsequent Events
In February 2010, the FASB issued guidance amending Topic 855 Subsequent Events, to clarify that
while SEC filers are required to evaluate subsequent events through the date financial statements
are issued, they will not be required to disclose the date through which subsequent events have
been evaluated. This guidance is effective as of February 24, 2010. The Company adopted this
guidance during the fiscal quarter ended April 4, 2010. The adoption did not have a material
impact on the Companys unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. See Note 15 for
disclosures associated with the adoption of this guidance.

5. Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation
The Company has a share-based incentive compensation plan for employees and non-employee directors,
which authorizes the granting of various equity-based incentive awards, including stock options and
non-vested common shares. The total number of common shares authorized for issuance under the plan
is 11.8 million, of which 1.0 million shares are available for future grants at October 3, 2010.
Total stock-based compensation expense was $0.7 million and $0.3 million for the thirteen weeks
ended October 3, 2010 and September 27, 2009, respectively. For the thirty-nine weeks ended
October 3, 2010 and September 27, 2009, total stock-based compensation expense was $1.9 million and
$0.5 million, respectively. As of October 3, 2010, there was $6.9 million of unrecognized
compensation cost related to unvested awards that is expected to be recognized over a
weighted-average period of approximately 3.6 years.

7. Legal Proceedings
On May 27, 2009, a purported collective/class action complaint captioned Tiffany Sharpe, et al. v.
APAC Customer Services, Inc. was filed in the United States District Court for the Western District
of Wisconsin. On behalf of the named plaintiff, a non-exempt call center employee, and other
similarly situated individuals, the complaint asserted violations under the Federal Fair Labor
Standards Act (FLSA) related to overtime compensation and wage records. The complaint also
asserted violations under Wisconsin Wage Payment and Overtime Compensation Laws based upon the same
alleged facts. The complaint purported to allege claims as a nationwide collective action under
federal law, as well as a class action under Wisconsin state law. The complaint sought various
forms of relief, including injunctive relief, unpaid overtime wages, liquidated damages, interest,
and attorneys fees and costs. On January 8, 2010, the court entered an order which conditionally
certified the case as a collective action under the FLSA.
In March 2010, the Company entered into an agreement to resolve the collective action. On June 16,
2010, the Court entered an order approving the resolution of all claims under the FLSA collective
action. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company agreed to pay a maximum amount of $4.0
million to resolve claims by eligible class members, including payments to class members and
payments for plaintiff attorneys fees. As a result, the Company recorded a charge of $2.4 million
for the thirteen weeks ended April 4, 2010 which represents its estimate at the time of the costs
to be incurred for attorneys fees and claims, based on expected opt-in rates for claimants in
similar actions.
Based on the courts final order approving the agreement, (including setting the amount of
plaintiffs attorneys fees) and a revised estimated rate of participation from eligible class
members, the Company has reduced the previously recorded liability by $550,000 during the thirteen
weeks ended October 3, 2010 to an adjusted recorded liability of $1.85 million, which reflects the
Companys revised expectation of the final amount which will ultimately be paid. The final amount
recorded by the Company may need to be adjusted further in the future based on the final
participation of eligible class members.
The Company denied and continues to deny the allegations in the complaint and contends that its
policies and practices regarding compensation were proper and in compliance with the law at all
times. The Company denies all liability and wrongdoing in this case, but decided to settle this
lawsuit in order to avoid the distraction and additional legal expenses that would otherwise be
incurred.
The Company is subject to other lawsuits, claims and governmental investigations arising out of the
normal conduct of its business. Management does not believe that the outcome of any pending
proceedings will have a material adverse effect on the Companys business, results of operations,
liquidity, or financial condition. Although management does not believe that any such proceeding
will result in a material adverse effect, no assurance to that effect can be given.

8. Debt
As of October 3, 2010, there were no outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Loan Agreement and
the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $49.7 million.
As of January 4, 2010, the Company was party to a Revolving Credit and Security Agreement, as
amended, (Revolving Loan Agreement) with PNC Bank National Association (PNC), as agent, and the
financial institutions from time to time parties thereto as lenders. The Revolving Loan Agreement
provides the Company with a $40.0 million revolving loan facility which expires in May 2011.
The Companys ability to borrow under the Revolving Loan Agreement depends on the amount of
eligible accounts receivable from its clients. The Revolving Loan Agreement contains certain
financial covenants including limits on the amount of capital expenditures and maintenance of a
minimum fixed charge coverage ratio. Other covenants in the Revolving Loan Agreement prohibit (with
limited exceptions) the Company from incurring additional indebtedness, repurchasing outstanding
common shares, permitting liens, acquiring, selling or disposing of certain assets, engaging in
certain mergers and acquisitions, paying dividends or making certain restricted payments.
Borrowings under the Revolving Loan Agreement incur a floating interest rate based on the LIBOR
index rate or an alternate base rate which approximates the prime rate defined in the Revolving
Loan Agreement subjecting the Company to interest rate risk and required a $5.0 million interest
rate hedge. In August 2008, the Company entered into a pay fixed / receive floating interest rate
swap for a $5.0 million notional amount. The objective of the swap was to mitigate the variability
in cash flows resulting from changes in the LIBOR rate. In June 2009, the swap was terminated due
to the elimination of all outstanding borrowings.
The Revolving Loan Agreement is secured principally by a grant of a first priority security
interest in all of the Companys personal property, including its accounts receivable. In
addition, the Company pays a commitment fee on the unused portion of the Revolving Loan Agreement
as well as fees on outstanding letters of credit.
The Company was in compliance with its financial covenants related to the Revolving Loan Agreement
as of October 3, 2010.
9. Severance and Other Charges
In September 2010, Michael Marrow resigned as the Companys President and Chief Executive Officer.
The Company recorded $1.3 million in severance and other charges for the thirteen and thirty-nine
weeks ended October 3, 2010. Cash payments related to severance and other charges are payable
through December 2012.
An additional $0.3 million of accelerated stock compensation expense was recorded directly in
selling, general and administrative expense as part of overall stock compensation expense and was
the result of the immediate vesting of all remaining unvested options included in Mr. Marrows
February 25, 2008 option grant.
The Company has a repurchase obligation of $3.2 million related to these vested stock options as
part of the Companys severance agreement with Mr. Marrow. The full amount of this repurchase was
charged to equity in accordance with ASC 718-20-35-7 Repurchases or Cancellations of Awards of
Equity Instruments.

(Dollars in thousands, except per share data)
10. Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method. Under the asset and
liability method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax
consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of
existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. A valuation allowance is recorded
when management believes it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax
assets will not be realized in the future. The Company records a reserve for tax contingencies
unless it believes it is more likely than not that the deductions giving rise to these
contingencies will be sustained if challenged by taxing authorities. Tax contingencies are not
material to the financial statements.
Income tax expense for the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended October 3, 2010 was $2.3 million
and $8.6 million, respectively. This results in an effective income tax rate of 33.4% and 34.2%
for the thirteen weeks and thirty-nine weeks ended October 3, 2010, respectively, which is lower
than the statutory rate due to the generation of tax credits. Income tax expense for the thirteen
and thirty-nine weeks ended September 27, 2009, was $0.1 million and $0.4 million, respectively.
This was driven by a gross income earned tax of 5% on a portion of our Philippine financial results
and certain state income taxes on our domestic financial results. The federal tax provision for
the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended September 27, 2009 was fully offset by the utilization of
net operating loss carryforwards and work opportunity tax credits. This resulted in a 2.1%
effective tax rate for the thirteen weeks ended September 27, 2009 and a 1.7% effective income tax
rate for the thirty-nine weeks ended September 27, 2009.
11. Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per share are computed by dividing the Companys net income by the weighted average
number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share are computed by dividing the
Companys net income by the weighted average number of shares plus the effect of dilutive potential
common shares outstanding and non-vested common shares using the treasury stock method. The
following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share for the thirteen
and thirty-nine weeks ended October 3, 2010 and September 27, 2009:

For the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended October 3, 2010, options to purchase 1.5 million and
1.2 million shares of common stock, respectively, were outstanding, but not included in the
computation of diluted net income per share because the effect would have been anti-dilutive. For
the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended September 27, 2009, options to purchase 0.5 million and
0.9 million shares of common stock, respectively, were outstanding, but not included in the
computation of diluted net income per share because the effect would have been anti-dilutive.

12. Fair Value Measurements
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a
liability in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly
transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The accounting standards
establish a fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value into
three broad levels as follows:
|
|
|
Level 1 Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. |
|
|
|
Level 2 Inputs, other than the quoted prices in active markets, that are observable
either directly or indirectly. |
|
|
|
Level 3 Unobservable inputs based on the Companys own assumptions. |
The following table presents the fair value hierarchy for those assets and liabilities measured at
fair value on a recurring basis as of October 3, 2010:

Non-qualified retirement plan: The Company maintains a non-qualified retirement plan (Select
Plan) for highly compensated employees who are limited in the amount of contributions that they can
make in the Companys 401-K plan. As of October 3, 2010, the fair value of investments in the
Select Plan totaled $2.2 million and is reflected on the Companys balance sheet in other current
assets. The related obligation to employees participating in the Select Plan, which will always
equal the fair value of the investments, are recorded on the Companys balance sheet in other
current liabilities. |
|

|
Foreign currency derivative contracts: The carrying amount of these items is based on
valuations provided by the counter-party institution, but there are no guaranteed selling prices
for these forward currency contracts. |

(4) |
|
Non-current investments: The carrying amount of these items, which represent Philippine
treasury bills, approximates fair value as of October 3, 2010 and is recorded as a component of
other assets on the Companys balance sheet. |
The carrying amounts of accounts receivable, accounts payable and short-term debt approximate fair
value.
There were no transfers of assets or liabilities between Level 1 and Level 2 during the thirteen
and thirty-nine weeks ended October 3, 2010.

13. Derivative Instruments
The Company uses forward contracts to mitigate foreign currency risk. The Companys derivatives
are designated as cash flow hedges to the extent that the instruments qualify for accounting as a
hedging instrument; therefore, the effective portion of gains and losses that result from changes
in fair value of the derivative instruments are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income
(OCI) until the hedged transaction affects income, at which time gains and/or losses are realized.
The Company expects these amounts to be reclassified into earnings over the next eighteen months.
If the instrument does not qualify for accounting as a hedge, the change in the value of the
instrument during the reporting period is recorded immediately to earnings. The Company assesses
hedge effectiveness each reporting period.
The objective of the foreign currency hedge contract is to mitigate the variability in cash flows
and expenses over the period of the hedge contracts due to the foreign currency risk associated
with the repayment of the intercompany accounts payable from the U.S. operations to the Philippines
representing the Philippines share of revenue. The Company currently engages in forward contracts
with two major financial credit institutions. Forward contracts to purchase approximately 977
million Philippine pesos at a U.S. dollar notional of $20.9 million were outstanding as of October
3, 2010.
Each contract is designated to a hedged item which is settled periodically. The hedged item
represents the change in the U.S. dollar cash flow necessary to settle the accounts payable balance
at periodic intervals over the next 18 months. The settlement timing corresponds with the payroll
and rent cycles in the Philippines. No ineffectiveness is anticipated because the notional amount
of the contracts is no more than 95% of the anticipated payable balance and declines steadily over
the course of the next eighteen months. Also, the maturity date of the forward contract coincides
with the timing of the effective repayment of the intercompany payable.
At October 3, 2010 and January 3, 2010, the fair value carrying amount of the Companys derivative
instruments was recorded as follows:

Item 2. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Our managements discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations should be
read in conjunction with our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related
notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this report and our audited consolidated financial statements
which appear in Item 8 of Part II of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended
January 3, 2010. Our managements discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements.
All forward-looking statements are inherently uncertain as they are based on various expectations
and assumptions about future events and are subject to known and unknown risks and uncertainties,
and other factors that may cause our actual results, performance, or achievements to be materially
different from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. See Forward Looking
Statements and Factors That May Affect Future Results on page 3 and page 4 of this Quarterly
Report on Form 10-Q and Item 1A in Part II of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Overview
We are a leading provider of customer care services and solutions to market leaders in the
communications, healthcare, business services, media & publishing, travel & entertainment,
financial services, and technology industries. Our services are provided through customer care
centers staffed with skilled customer service representatives in domestic, international, and
client-owned locations. As of October 3, 2010, we operated 15 customer care centers: eight
domestic, two domestic client-owned facilities, four off-shore centers located in the Philippines
and one near-shore facility located in the Dominican Republic. As of October 3, 2010, our domestic
operations consisted of approximately 6,300 workstations and our international operations consisted
of approximately 4,300 workstations.
During 2008, we restructured our operations resulting in the reduction of overhead costs and
headcount, refinanced our debt, and took steps to improve our operating efficiencies. Our focus on
improving our financial performance resulted in increased gross profit margins, improved cash flow,
lower levels of debt and profitability on a full year basis in fiscal year 2008. This
transformation laid the foundation to return the Company to a sustainable, profitable operation.
During 2009, we continued to see a favorable impact from the initiatives launched in 2008. We
expanded the sales organization and focused on expanding our service offerings and client base. We
opened our fourth customer care center in the Philippines and a second customer care center in
Tucson, Arizona, expanded our atHOME program, and began call center operations in the Dominican
Republic. These actions resulted in an increase in revenue of 17.8% to $293.2 million for 2009 as
compared to $248.8 million for 2008, and resulted in improvements in operating margins to 11.8% for
2009, as compared to 2.8% in 2008. Operating cash flow improved significantly allowing us to fully
pay off all outstanding debt and establish a cash position of $20.6 million as of January 3, 2010.
Because of the significant improvement in our forecasted financial performance, we reversed
substantially all of the valuation allowance that had been provided against our deferred tax assets
in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2009.
Throughout 2010, we have continued to see improvement in our financial performance. Our revenue
increased 15.3% to $239.5 million for the thirty-nine weeks ended October 3, 2010, as compared to
$207.6 million for the thirty-nine weeks ended September 27, 2009. Our gross profit increased $3.6
million to $51.7 million for the thirty-nine weeks ended October 3, 2010, as compared to $48.1
million for the thirty-nine weeks ended September 27, 2009. Operating cash flow continued to be
strong resulting in a cash position of $49.7 million as of October 3, 2010.
During 2010, we have also benefited from the addition of several new clients, the result of
increasing our sales efforts. In addition, we have expanded our client services team to ensure we
are continually focused on enhancing the quality, dependability and overall value of the services
we provide for our clients.
In September 2010, current board member Kevin T. Keleghan was appointed as our new President and
Chief Executive Officer. He succeeds Michael P. Marrow, who resigned at the same time. Mr.
Keleghan will continue to serve as a member of the board.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles
in the United States requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the amounts reported
in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Certain of our
accounting policies are considered critical, due to the level of subjectivity and judgment
necessary in applying these policies and because the impact of these estimates and assumptions on
our financial condition and operating performance may be material. On an ongoing basis, we
evaluate our estimates and judgments in these areas based on historic experience and other relevant
factors. The estimates as of the date of the financial statements reflect our best judgment giving
consideration to all currently available facts and circumstances. We believe our estimates and
judgments are reasonable, however, actual results and the timing of the recognition of such amounts
could differ from those estimates.
We have used methodologies that are consistent from year to year in all material respects. We have
identified the following accounting policies and estimates that we believe are most critical in the
preparation of our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements: accounting for
derivatives, allowance for doubtful accounts, accounting for employee benefits, revenue
recognition, intangible assets, restructuring charges, accounting for stock-based compensation and
income taxes. For details concerning these critical accounting policies and estimates see Item 7
of Part II of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 3, 2010, under the
caption Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
OperationsCritical Accounting Policies and Estimates and Note 3 to our audited consolidated
financial statements which appears in Item 8 of Part II of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the
fiscal year ended January 3, 2010. Any deviation from these policies or estimates could have a
material impact on our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

The following table sets forth selected information about our results of operations for the
thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended October 3, 2010 and September 27, 2009, respectively. Certain
additional components of cost of services have been included as we believe they would enhance an

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements presented in accordance
with GAAP, we present EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA, which are defined as non-GAAP financial measures.
The presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures is not intended to be considered in
isolation or as a substitute for the financial information presented in accordance with GAAP. The
items excluded from these non-GAAP financial measures are significant components of our financial
statements and must be considered in performing a comprehensive analysis of our overall financial
results.
We believe these non-GAAP financial measures provide meaningful supplemental information and are
useful in understanding our results of operations and analyzing trends because they exclude certain
charges that are not part of our ordinary business operations.
EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA are measures used by our lenders, investors and analysts to evaluate our
financial performance and our ability to pay interest and repay debt. These measures are also
indicative of our ability to fund the capital investments necessary for our continued growth. We
use these measures, together with our GAAP financial metrics, to assess our financial performance,
allocate resources, measure our performance against debt covenants and evaluate our overall
progress towards meeting our long-term financial objectives.
19
We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors and analysts in allowing
for greater transparency with respect to the supplemental information used by us in our financial
and operational decision making. In addition, we believe investors, analysts and lenders benefit
from referring to EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA when assessing our performance and expectations of our
future performance. However, this information should not be used as a substitute for our GAAP
financial information; rather it should be used in conjunction with financial statement information
contained in our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with
GAAP.
Our calculation of EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA may not be consistent with calculations of similar
measures used by other companies. The accompanying notes have more details on the GAAP financial
measure that is most directly comparable to our non-GAAP financial measure and the related
reconciliation between these financial measures.

Notes to Non-GAAP Financial Measures
|
|
|
(1) |
|
We operate on a thirteen-week fiscal quarter that ends on the Sunday closest to September 30. |
(2)
We define EBITDA as net income plus income tax expense (benefit), depreciation and
amortization, and interest expense. We define adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA adjusted for legal
settlement expense, severance and other charges and the acceleration of certain stock compensation
expense.
EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA are measures used by our lenders, investors and analysts to evaluate our
financial performance and our ability to pay interest and repay debt. These measures are also
indicative of our ability to fund the capital investments necessary for our continued growth. We
use these measures, together with our GAAP financial metrics, to assess our financial performance,
allocate resources, measure our performance against debt covenants and evaluate our overall
progress towards meeting our long-term financial objectives.
EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA are not intended to be considered in isolation or used as a substitute
for net income or cash flow from operations data presented in accordance with GAAP or as a measure
of liquidity. The items excluded from EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA are significant components of our
statements of operations and must be considered in performing a comprehensive assessment of our
overall financial results.
20
EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA can be reconciled to net income, which we believe to be the most
directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP, as follows:

Comparison of Results of Operations for the Thirteen Weeks Ended October 3, 2010 and September 27,
2009
Net revenue increased 12.5% to $76.9 million for the thirteen weeks ended October 3, 2010, as
compared to $68.4 million for the thirteen weeks ended September 27, 2009. The increase in revenue
of $8.5 million is primarily driven by growth from existing and new clients of $5.6 million in the
media & publishing vertical, $3.6 million in the business services vertical, $1.4 million in the
healthcare vertical, $1.1 million in the technology vertical and $0.6 million of other services,
partially offset by a decline of $3.8 million in the communications vertical.
Cost of services increased $7.8 million, or 14.5%, to $62.0 million for the thirteen weeks ended
October 3, 2010, from $54.2 million for the thirteen weeks ended September 27, 2009. Direct labor
increased $3.6 million, or 9.7%, primarily driven by increased volume in the media & publishing,
healthcare and technology verticals both domestically and off-shore, increased volume in the
domestic business services vertical, and higher wage rates and employee benefits domestically,
partially offset by increased domestic efficiencies. Facility and other costs increased $4.2
million, or 25.3%, due to $2.4 million of increased facility costs primarily related to the
addition of our second customer care center in Tucson, Arizona, the opening of a customer care
center in the Dominican Republic and increased growth at our customer care center in Davenport,
Iowa, as well as at our fourth center in the Philippines. Other facility expenses increased $1.8
million due to $0.5 million of salaries and wages associated with increased operational support,
$0.4 million of increased information technology costs, $0.2 million of increased
telecommunications costs associated with increased volumes domestically and off-shore and $0.7
million of other facility expenses. Cost of services as a percentage of revenue increased to 80.7%
for the thirteen weeks ended October 3, 2010, as compared to 79.3% for the thirteen weeks ended
September 27, 2009, primarily due to increased facility and other costs.
Gross profit increased $0.6 million, or 4.8%, to $14.8 million for the thirteen weeks ended October
3, 2010, as compared to $14.2 million for the thirteen weeks ended September 29, 2010, primarily
due to increased revenue volume, as noted above. Gross profit margin decreased from 20.7% for the
thirteen weeks ended September 27, 2009 to 19.3% for the thirteen weeks ended October 3, 2010,
driven by increased facility and other costs.
Selling, general and administrative expenses were $7.4 million for the thirteen weeks ended October
3, 2010, a $0.1 million decrease from $7.5 million for the thirteen weeks ended September 27, 2009.
The decrease is primarily due to a $0.6 million decrease in costs associated with the final
amortization of intangible assets and a reduction in salaries and compensation expense of $0.3
million, partially offset by a $0.3 million increase in stock compensation expense resulting from
the acceleration of the vesting of the stock options related to the September 2010 severance
agreement with our former President and CEO and a $0.5 million net increase in other expenses.
Legal settlement expense decreased $0.6 million for the thirteen weeks ended October 3, 2010 as the
result of a revision to the previously recorded liability related to the settlement of the Tiffany
Sharpe, et al. v. APAC Customer Services, Inc. suit. The decrease reflects our revised expectation
of the final amount which will ultimately be paid. For more information regarding legal settlement
expense, see Note 7 of our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements appearing
elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Severance and other charges were $1.3 million for the thirteen weeks ended October 3, 2010 and
related to the September 2010 resignation of our former President and CEO. For more information
regarding severance and other charges, see Note 9 of our unaudited condensed consolidated financial
statements appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Operating income remained constant at $6.7 million for the thirteen weeks ended October 3, 2010 and
September 27, 2009. The impact of the expense recorded for severance and other charges was fully
offset by the increase in gross profit, decrease in legal settlement expense and decline in
selling, general and administrative recorded for the thirteen weeks ended October 3, 2010.
Net interest income of less than $0.1 million for the thirteen weeks ended October 3, 2010 was
primarily related to $0.1 million from the amortization of points on forward contracts, offset by
$0.1 million of fees associated with the Revolving Loan Facility with PNC. Net interest income of
less than $0.1 million for the thirteen weeks ended September 27, 2009 was primarily related to
$0.2 million from the amortization of points on forward contracts, partially offset by $0.1 million
of fees and interest associated with borrowings under the Revolving Loan Facility with PNC.
22
EBITDA was $9.7 million for the thirteen weeks ended October 3, 2010, an increase of $0.1 million,
as compared to $9.6 million for the thirteen weeks ended September 27, 2009. Adjusting for the
legal settlement expense, severance and other charges and the acceleration of certain stock
compensation expense, adjusted EBITDA improved $1.1 million to $10.7 million for the thirteen weeks
ended October 3, 2010 from $9.6 million for the thirteen weeks ended September 27, 2009 primarily
due to the favorable impact of the increase in gross profit and decrease in selling, general and
administrative expenses, as noted above. More information concerning these non-GAAP financial
measures, including the definition of EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA and a reconciliation of these
measures to the most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance
with GAAP, can be found under the heading Non-GAAP Financial Measures and the accompanying notes
thereto appearing elsewhere in this Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations.
Income tax expense was $2.3 million for the thirteen weeks ended October 3, 2010 which represents
an effective rate of 33.4%. This is lower than the statutory rate due to the generation of tax
credits. We estimate that our cash paid for income taxes for fiscal year 2010 will be less than 5%
of income before taxes due to the utilization of net operating loss carryforwards and tax credits.
Income tax expense was $0.1 million for the thirteen weeks ended September 27, 2009. This was
driven by a gross income earned tax of 5% on a portion of our Philippine financial results and
domestic state income taxes. The Federal tax provision was fully offset by the utilization of net
operating loss carryforwards and work opportunity tax credits. This resulted in a 2.1% effective
income tax rate for the thirteen weeks ended September 27, 2009.
Net income for the thirteen weeks ended October 3, 2010 was $4.6 million, as compared to $6.6
million for the thirteen weeks ended September 27, 2009. The $2.0 million decrease was primarily
due to the $2.2 million increase in income tax expense, partially offset by a $0.2 million increase
in net other income.
Comparison of Results of Operations for the Thirty-nine Weeks Ended October 3, 2010 and September
27, 2009
Net revenue increased 15.3% to $239.5 million for the thirty-nine weeks ended October 3, 2010, as
compared to $207.6 million for the thirty-nine weeks ended September 27, 2009. The increase in
revenue of $31.9 million is primarily driven from growth with existing and new clients of $11.5
million in the media & publishing vertical, $7.7 million in the business services vertical, $6.0
million in the communications vertical, $4.1 million in the healthcare vertical, $1.6 million in
the technology vertical, $1.5 million in the financial services vertical and $1.2 million of other
services, partially offset by a decline in revenue of $1.7 million in the travel & entertainment
vertical.
Cost of services increased $28.3 million, or 17.8%, to $187.8 million for the thirty-nine weeks
ended October 3, 2010, from $159.5 million for the thirty-nine weeks ended September 27, 2009.
Direct labor increased $17.5 million, or 15.9%, primarily driven by increased volume in the media &
publishing vertical, both domestically and off-shore, increased volume in the domestic business
services, communications, healthcare, technology and financial services verticals, higher wage
rates and benefits domestically and decreased domestic efficiencies, partially offset by improved
off-shore efficiencies and lower off-shore wage rates and benefits. Facility and other costs
increased $10.8 million, or 21.9%, primarily due to $5.9 million of increased facility costs
primarily related to the addition of our second customer care center in Tucson, Arizona, the
opening of our fourth customer care center in the Philippines and the opening of a customer care
center in the Dominican Republic, all of which took place in 2009, and growth in our customer care
centers in Green Bay, Wisconsin and Davenport, Iowa. Other facility expenses increased $4.9
million due to $2.1 million of salaries and wages associated with increased operational support,
$0.9 million of increased information technology costs, $0.8 million of telecommunication costs
associated with increased volumes domestically and off-shore and $1.1 million of other facility
expenses. Cost of services as a percentage of revenue increased to 78.4% for the thirty-nine weeks
ended October 3, 2010, as compared to 76.8% for the thirty-nine weeks ended September 27, 2009, as
a result of increased facility and other costs, higher domestic wage rates and benefits, and
decreased domestic efficiencies.
Gross profit increased $3.6 million, or 7.4%, to $51.7 million for the thirty-nine weeks ended
October 3, 2010, as compared to $48.1 million for the thirty-nine weeks ended September 27, 2009,
primarily due to increased volume in the media & publishing vertical, both domestically and
off-shore, and increased volume in the domestic business services, communications, healthcare,
technology and financial services verticals, partially offset by increased facility and other
costs, higher domestic wage rates and benefits, and decreased domestic efficiencies. Gross profit
margin decreased from 23.2% for the thirty-nine weeks ended September 27, 2009 to 21.6% for the
thirty-nine weeks ended October 3, 2010 driven by increased facility and other costs, higher
domestic wage rates and benefits, and decreased domestic efficiencies.
23
Selling, general and administrative expenses were $23.7 million for the thirty-nine weeks ended
October 3, 2010, a 3.9% increase as compared to $22.8 million for the thirty-nine weeks ended
September 27, 2009. The $0.9 million increase is primarily due to a $1.3 million increase in stock
compensation expense resulting from the acceleration of the vesting of the stock options related to
the June 2010 retirement of two members of our Board of Directors and the September 2010 severance
agreement with our former President and CEO, and the impact of an expense reversal during the
first quarter of fiscal year 2009 related to options vesting at that time, but which were forfeited
in earlier periods, a $0.6 million increase in travel and entertainment, a $0.4 million increase in
compensation and benefits primarily associated with an increase in our sales, human resources and
executive teams and a $0.5 million net increase in other expenses, partly offset by a $1.0 million
decrease in professional fees and a $0.9 million decrease in costs associated with the final
amortization of intangible assets.
Legal settlement expense of $1.8 million for the thirty-nine weeks ended October 3, 2010 relates to
the settlement of the Tiffany Sharpe, et al. v. APAC Customer Services, Inc. suit and represents
our expectation of the estimate of the claims to be incurred based upon our expected rate of
participation from eligible class members and the costs to be incurred for attorneys fees, based
on the courts final order approving the agreement. The final amount recorded by us may need to be
adjusted further in the future based on the final participation of eligible class members. For
more information regarding legal settlement expense, see Note 7 of our unaudited condensed
consolidated financial statements appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Severance and other charges were $1.3 million for the thirty-nine weeks ended October 3, 2010 and
related to the September 2010 resignation of our former President and CEO. For more information
regarding severance and other charges, see Note 9 of our unaudited condensed consolidated financial
statements appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Operating income was $24.9 million for the thirty-nine weeks ended October 3, 2010, as compared to
$25.3 million for the thirty-nine weeks ended September 27, 2009. The $0.4 million decrease was
the result of the estimated legal settlement of $1.8 million, severance and other charges of $1.3
million and increased selling, general and administrative expenses of $0.9 million, partially
offset by the $3.6 million increase in gross profit, as noted above.
Net interest income of less than $0.1 million for the thirty-nine weeks ended October 3, 2010 was
primarily related to $0.4 million from the amortization of points on forward contracts, partially
offset by $0.4 million of fees associated with the Revolving Loan Facility with PNC. Net interest
income was less than $0.1 million for the thirty-nine weeks ended September 27, 2009 and was
primarily related to $0.6 million from the amortization of points on forward contracts, partially
offset by $0.5 million of fees and interest associated with borrowings under the Revolving Loan
Facility with PNC.
EBITDA was $33.9 million for the thirty-nine weeks ended October 3, 2010, a decrease of $0.2
million, as compared to $34.1 million for the thirty-nine weeks ended September 27, 2009.
Adjusting for the legal settlement expense, severance and other charges and the acceleration of
certain stock compensation expense, adjusted EBITDA improved $3.5 million to $37.6 million for the
thirty-nine weeks ended October 3, 2010 from $34.1 million for the thirty-nine weeks ended
September 27, 2009, primarily due to the increase in gross profit, as noted above. More
information concerning these non-GAAP financial measures, including the definition of EBITDA and
adjusted EBIDTA and a reconciliation of these measures to the most directly comparable financial
measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP, can be found under the heading Non-GAAP
Financial Measures and the accompanying notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this Managements
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
Income tax expense was $8.6 million for the thirty-nine weeks ended October 3, 2010 which
represents an effective rate of 34.2%. This is lower than the statutory rate due to the generation
of tax credits. We estimate cash paid for income taxes for fiscal year 2010 to be less than 5% of
income before taxes due to the utilization of net operating loss carryforwards and tax credits.
Income tax expense was $0.4 million for the thirty-nine weeks ended September 27, 2009. This was
driven by a gross income earned tax of 5% on a portion of our Philippine financial results and
domestic state income taxes. The Federal tax provision was fully offset by the utilization of net
operating loss carryforwards and work opportunity tax credits. This resulted in a 1.7% effective
income tax rate for the thirty-nine weeks ended September 27, 2009.
24
Net income for the thirty-nine weeks ended October 3, 2010 was $16.5 million, as compared to $24.9
million for the thirty-nine weeks ended September 27, 2009. The $8.4 million decrease was
primarily due to the $8.2 million increase in income tax expense and a $0.4 million decrease in
operating income as noted above, partially offset by a $0.2 million increase in net other income.

Operating Activities
Net cash provided by operating activities increased $8.7 million to $35.0 million for the
thirty-nine weeks ended October 3, 2010, as compared to $26.3 million for the thirty-nine weeks
ended September 27, 2009. The net increase was primarily due to a reduction in accounts receivable
of $9.3 million and a decrease in deferred tax assets of $8.0 million, partially offset by an $8.4
million decrease in net income and a $0.2 million net change in other operating assets and
liabilities.
Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities decreased $2.7 million to $5.3 million for the thirty-nine
weeks ended October 3, 2010, as compared to $8.0 million for the thirty-nine weeks ended September
27, 2009. Cash used in investing activities for the thirty-nine weeks ended October 3, 2010
consisted primarily of $3.2 million in continued investment in operational and information
technology equipment and $2.1 million in capital expenditures related to client implementations.
Net cash used in investing activities for the thirty-nine weeks ended September 27, 2009 consisted
primarily of $3.4 million in capital expenditures related to client implementations, $2.4 million
in capital expenditures related to the build-out of our fourth customer care center in the
Philippines and $2.2 million in continued investment in operational and information technology
equipment.
Financing Activities
Net cash used in financing activities of $0.7 million for the thirty-nine weeks ended October 3,
2010 relates to $0.8 million of cash used to purchase treasury stock under the stock repurchase
plan authorized by the Board of Directors on August 18, 2010 and $0.4 million in payments on
capital leases, partially offset by $0.5 million in cash received from the exercise of stock
options. Net cash used in financing activities of $3.9 million for the thirty-nine weeks ended
September 27, 2009 is the result of net payments of $6.1 million against the Revolving Loan
Facility and $0.1 million in payments on capital leases, offset by $2.3 million cash received from
the exercise of stock options.
25
Bank Financing
As of October 3, 2010, there were no outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Loan Agreement and
we had cash and cash equivalents of $49.7 million.
During the thirty-nine weeks ended October 3, 2010, we were party to a Revolving Credit and
Security Agreement, as amended, (Revolving Loan Agreement) with PNC Bank National Association
(PNC), as agent, and the financial institutions from time to time parties thereto as lenders. The
Revolving Loan Agreement provides us with up to a $40.0
million revolving loan facility which expires in May 2011. We are currently evaluating financing
alternatives and intend to obtain a replacement facility prior to the maturity of the current
Revolving Loan Agreement.
The Revolving Loan Agreement contains certain financial covenants including limits on the amount of
capital expenditures and maintenance of a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio. Other covenants in
the Revolving Loan Agreement prohibit us (with limited exceptions) from incurring additional
indebtedness, repurchasing outstanding common shares, permitting liens, acquiring, selling or
disposing of certain assets, engaging in certain mergers and acquisitions, paying dividends or
making certain restricted payments. Our ability to borrow under the Revolving Loan Agreement
depends on the amount of eligible accounts receivable from our clients.
We had approximately $28.9 million of undrawn borrowing capacity under the Revolving Loan Agreement
as of October 3, 2010, based upon borrowing base calculations. We were in compliance with our
financial covenants as of October 3, 2010.
Future Liquidity
We expect that our cash balances of $49.7 million, cash flows from operations and available
borrowings of $28.9 million under our Revolving Loan Agreement will be sufficient to meet projected
operating needs, fund any planned capital expenditures and repay debt obligations for the next
twelve months.
On August 18, 2010, we announced that our Board of Directors had authorized the repurchase of up to
an aggregate of five million shares of our common stock. Under the stock repurchase program,
purchases will be made from time to time on the open market at prevailing market prices or in
negotiated transactions off the market. The repurchase program is expected to continue over the
next 12 months unless extended or shortened by the Board of Directors. We are not obligated to
acquire any particular amount of common stock as a result of the plan, which may be suspended at
any time at our discretion.
A significant change in operating cash flow or a failure to maintain profitability could have a
material adverse effect on our liquidity and our ability to comply with the covenants in our
Revolving Loan Agreement. In addition, our failure to adhere to the financial and other covenants
could give rise to a default under the Revolving Loan Agreement which would have a material adverse
effect on our liquidity and financial condition. There can be no assurances that we will be able to
meet the financial and other covenants in our Revolving Loan Agreement.
26
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Historically, we have been exposed to the impact of U.S. interest rate changes directly related to
our normal operating and funding activities and foreign currency exchange risk related to our
operating costs in the Philippines. Our Revolving Loan Agreement bears interest at floating rates,
subjecting us to interest rate risk. To date, the impact from interest rate fluctuations has not
been material. In 2008, we entered into a pay fixed / receive floating interest rate swap for a
$5.0 million notional amount. The objective of the contract was to mitigate the variability in
cash flows resulting from changes in the underlying interest rate index or changes in the LIBOR
rate. The contract was terminated in June 2009 due to the elimination of outstanding borrowings.
The impact from foreign currency exchange rates has become significant due to the change in the
U.S. dollar relative to the Philippine peso and the increase in cost of services due to our
expanded operations in the Philippines. We manage this risk through a currency rate hedging
program with the objective of mitigating the impact of significant fluctuations in the U.S. dollar
/ Philippine peso exchange rate. The objective of the hedge transaction is to mitigate the
variability in cash flows and expenses over the period of the hedge contracts due to the foreign
currency risk associated with the repayment of the intercompany accounts payable from the U.S.
operations to the Philippines representing the Philippines share of revenue. Forward contracts to
purchase approximately 977 million Philippine pesos at a U.S. dollar notional of $20.9 million were
outstanding as of October 3, 2010.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As of October 3, 2010, under the direction of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial
Officer, we evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures. The term
disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, as amended, means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to
ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or
submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time
periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commissions rules and forms. Disclosure controls
and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that
information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the
Securities Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the companys management, including its
principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions
regarding required disclosure. Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter
how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives
and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of
possible controls and procedures. Based on the evaluation of our disclosure controls and
procedures as of October 3, 2010, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded
that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable
assurance level.
Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in
Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the fiscal quarter ended
October 3, 2010 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our
internal control over financial reporting.

Part II. Other Information
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
On May 27, 2009, a purported collective/class action complaint captioned Tiffany Sharpe, et al. v.
APAC Customer Services, Inc. was filed in the United States District Court for the Western District
of Wisconsin. On behalf of the named plaintiff, a non-exempt call center employee, and other
similarly situated individuals, the complaint asserted violations under the Federal Fair Labor
Standards Act (FLSA) related to overtime compensation and wage records. The complaint also
asserted violations under Wisconsin Wage Payment and Overtime Compensation Laws based upon the same
alleged facts. The complaint purported to allege claims as a nationwide collective action under
federal law, as well as a class action under Wisconsin state law. The complaint sought various
forms of relief, including injunctive relief, unpaid overtime wages, liquidated damages, interest,
and attorneys fees and costs. On January 8, 2010, the court entered an order which conditionally
certified the case as a collective action under the FLSA.
In March 2010, we entered into an agreement to resolve the collective action. On June 16, 2010,
the Court entered an order approving the resolution of all claims under the FLSA collective action.
Under the terms of the agreement, we agreed to pay a maximum amount of $4.0 million to resolve
claims by eligible class members, including payments to class members and payments for plaintiff
attorneys fees. As a result, we recorded a liability of $2.4 million for the thirteen weeks ended
April 4, 2010 which represents our estimate at the time of the costs to be incurred for attorneys
fees and claims, based on expected opt-in rates for claimants in similar actions. Based on the
courts final order approving the agreement, (including setting the amount of plaintiffs
attorneys fees) and a revised estimated rate of participation from eligible class members, we have
reduced the previously recorded liability by $550,000 during the thirteen weeks ended October 3,
2010 to an adjusted recorded liability of $1.85 million which reflects our revised expectation of
the final amount which will ultimately be paid. The final amount recorded by us may need to be
adjusted further in the future based on the final participation of eligible class members.
We denied and continue to deny the allegations in the complaint and contend that our policies and
practices regarding compensation were proper and in compliance with the law at all times. We deny
all liability and wrongdoing in this case, but decided to settle this lawsuit in order to avoid the
distraction and additional legal expenses that would otherwise be incurred.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
For a detailed discussion of the risks and uncertainties associated with our business see Item 1A
of Part I of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 3, 2010. There have
been no material changes to these risk factors since that report.
