TECHTEAM GLOBAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1 Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by
TechTeam Global, Inc. (TechTeam or the Company) in accordance with United States generally
accepted accounting principles 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
footnotes required by United States generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial
statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair
presentation have been included, and such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. Operating
results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, are not necessarily indicative of
the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2009. For further information,
refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Companys
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008.
In the first quarter of fiscal 2009, management changed its methodology for evaluation of the
performance of the Companys outsourcing services. As a result of this change, certain costs that
were previously included in Selling, general and administrative expense are now being included in
Cost of revenue in the Companys Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income because they are
directly related to revenue. The Companys financial statements for fiscal year 2008 have been
revised, for all periods presented, to conform to the current year presentation.
The Companys fiscal year 2008 financial statements were impacted as follows, for all periods
presented, as a result of this change in classification:

This re-categorization of costs did not change net income or earnings per share, for all periods
presented, in fiscal year 2008. There was no cumulative effect to retained earnings as a result of
this re-categorization, and there was no change to the carrying amount of assets and liabilities in

Note 3 Earnings Per Share
Earnings per share for common stock is computed using the weighted average number of common shares
and common share equivalents outstanding. Common share equivalents consist of stock options,
unvested restricted stock issued to employees and shares held in escrow in connection with the
Companys acquisition of RL Phillips, Inc. During the three months ended September 30, 2009 and
2008, 1,853,400 and 1,740,700 stock options, respectively, were excluded from the computation of
diluted earnings per common share because the exercise prices of the options were higher than the
average market price of the Companys common stock for the respective period. Stock options
excluded totaled 2,077,400 and 1,494,400 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008,
respectively.

Due to the inherent uncertainty involved in estimating restructuring expenses, actual amounts paid
for such activities may differ from amounts initially estimated. Accordingly, previously recorded
reserves of $756,000 were reversed during the nine months ended September 30, 2009. Such reversals
are recorded consistent with FASB Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 420, Exit or Disposal
Cost Obligations, and primarily result from the Company favorably amending a lease for facilities
in Europe to eliminate its obligation to pay for leased space that was vacated and expensed in
2008.
Note 5 Property, Equipment and Software
Long-lived assets are evaluated for impairment when events occur or circumstances indicate that the
remaining estimated useful lives may warrant revision or that the remaining balances may not be
recoverable. When this occurs, an estimate of undiscounted cash flows is used to determine if the
remaining balances are recoverable.

Note 6 Acquisitions and Dispositions
Onvaio LLC
On May 30, 2008, TechTeam Global, Inc. completed the acquisition of Onvaio LLC (Onvaio), a
California limited liability company. Onvaio is a provider of technical support outsourcing
services for clients globally through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Onvaio Asia Services, Inc.,
based in Manila, Philippines. The initial purchase price totaled $4,787,000 and included
acquisition costs of $400,000. In addition to the initial purchase price paid at closing, an
additional $1,500,000 was placed into an escrow account and is payable in increments of $125,000 on
the last day of each fiscal quarter provided that Onvaio is still providing services to its largest
customer in substantially the same form and content as it provided at closing. As of September 30,
2009, $625,000 had been released from escrow and paid to the selling shareholders. This additional
amount is being recorded as goodwill as it is earned.
RL Phillips, Inc.
On August 31, 2007, TechTeam Global, Inc., through its wholly-owned subsidiary TechTeam Government
Solutions, Inc., completed the acquisition of all the outstanding common stock of RL Phillips, Inc.
(RL Phillips) for approximately $2,150,000. Of the total purchase price, $300,000 was paid in
shares of TechTeam common stock, which was placed into escrow for a period of three years after
closing to reimburse the Company for any claims for indemnity or breach of representation and
warranties. Furthermore, $100,000 was held back and is scheduled to be paid in equal installments
on the first and second anniversary of the date of acquisition. On August 31, 2008, $50,000 was
paid to the selling shareholders. The installment due on August 31, 2009 was held back due to a
claim for indemnity. The Company is uncertain if this amount will be released in the future.
NewVectors LLC
In connection with the Companys acquisition of NewVectors LLC (NewVectors) on May 31, 2007,
$4,000,000 of the total purchase price was placed into escrow for a period of one year after
closing to reimburse the Company for any claims for indemnity or breach of representation and
warranties. On May 31, 2008, the amount held in escrow was released in its entirety.
SQM Sverige AB
In connection with the Companys acquisition of SQM Sverige AB (SQM) on February 9, 2007, the
selling shareholders had the potential to receive SEK 4,200,000 (equal to $600,000 at the
acquisition date), subject to SQMs achievement of a defined revenue target for the 2007 calendar
year. The selling shareholders received SEK 4,200,000 (equal to $660,000 on the date of payment) in
February 2008 as a result of achieving the revenue target. The additional consideration was
recorded as goodwill when it was earned.
Disposition of TechTeam A.N.E. NV/SA
On
October 31, 2008, the Company completed the sale of TechTeam A.N.E. NV/SA (ANE), the results of
which were included in continuing operations through the date of the sale. This disposition was
completed as the Company determined that this business unit was not core to the Companys long-term
growth strategy. This business, included in the IT Consulting and Systems Integration segment, had
net sales of $7.2 million and a net operating loss of $76,000 for 2008 through the date of the
sale. Total gross proceeds from the sale were 1.1 million euro ($1.4 million at the disposition
date); the Company recognized a net gain of $155,000, which was included in other income in the
Consolidated Statements of Income, related to the sale of the business for the year ended
December 31, 2008.
Pro Forma Results of Operations
The pro forma results of operations for the acquisition of Onvaio and the disposition of ANE are
not materially different than reported results, therefore are not presented.

Note 7 Stock-Based Compensation
The Company measures and recognizes compensation expense for all stock-based payment awards based
on the estimated fair value of the award. Compensation expense is recognized over the period during
which the recipient is required to provide service in exchange for the award. Stock-based
compensation expense recognized in each period is based on the value of the portion of the
share-based award that is ultimately expected to vest during the period. The Companys outstanding
stock-based awards consist of stock options and restricted stock.
Stock Options
The Company recorded compensation expense totaling $286,000 and $296,000 during the three months
ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively, related to outstanding options and compensation
expense totaling $879,000 and $843,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008,
respectively. At September 30, 2009 and 2008, there was approximately $2,248,000 and $3,243,000,
respectively, of unrecognized compensation expense related to stock options. Unrecognized
compensation expense at September 30, 2009, is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average
period of approximately two years.
The Company records compensation expense for stock options based on the estimated fair value of the
options on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes valuation model. The Company uses historical
data among other factors to estimate the expected price volatility, the expected option term and
the expected forfeiture rate. The risk-free rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in
effect at the date of grant for the expected term of the option.
The following assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of options granted for the nine
months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008:

Restricted Common Stock
Compensation expense related to restricted stock under all plans is recorded on a straight-line
basis over the vesting period. The Company recorded compensation expense of approximately $241,000
and $199,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively, related to
outstanding shares of restricted stock under all plans and compensation expense of approximately
$483,000 and $674,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.
Compensation expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2008, includes $254,000 of expense
related to the accelerated vesting of all non-vested restricted stock awards granted to the
Companys former President and Chief Executive Officer, William C. Brown, in accordance with Mr.
Browns amended Employment and Noncompetition Agreement.
The weighted average grant-date fair value of restricted stock granted under all plans during the
three months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 was $8.61 and $9.44, respectively. The weighted
average grant-date fair value of restricted stock granted under all plans during the nine months
ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 was $5.07 and $9.03, respectively. The fair value of restricted
stock awards granted under all plans was determined based on the closing trading price of the
Companys common stock on the date of grant.

Note 7 Stock-Based Compensation (continued)
At September 30, 2009 and 2008, there was approximately $2,500,000 and $2,300,000, respectively, of
total unrecognized compensation expense related to non-vested shares of restricted stock.
Unrecognized compensation expense at September 30, 2009, is expected to be recognized over a
weighted average period of approximately three years.
Note 8 Income Taxes
At September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, the Company had an unrecognized tax benefit of
approximately $108,000 and $107,000, respectively. The Company recognizes accrued interest related
to unrecognized tax benefits as a component of interest expense and recognizes penalties as a
component of selling, general and administrative expense. During the three and nine months ended
September 30, 2009 and 2008, interest and penalties recognized in the financial statements were not
material. The Company had no material accruals for the payment of interest and penalties at
September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008.
The Company and its subsidiaries file income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and
various state and foreign jurisdictions. With few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to
U.S. federal, state and local, or non-U.S. income tax examinations by tax authorities for years
before 2002. The Internal Revenue Service commenced an examination of the Companys 2004 U.S.
federal income tax return in the first quarter of 2007, which was completed in the second quarter
of 2008. The following table summarizes tax years that remain subject to examination by major tax
jurisdictions:

U.S. State income taxes
|
|
2004 through 2008 |
Foreign income taxes
|
|
2002 through 2008 |
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, the consolidated effective tax rate was
36.9% and 37.1%, respectively. This rate differs from statutory levels in the three months ended
September 30, 2009, primarily because the reversal of the restructuring charge was recorded in
Belgium where there was no tax expense for the charge due to the availability of tax loss carry
forwards which offset taxable income. Excluding the reversal of restructuring charges, the
effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009 was 38.5% and 42.4%,
respectively. The effective tax rate excluding the reversal of restructuring charges differs from
the statutory tax rate of 34.0% primarily due to state income taxes, non-deductible expenses and
foreign operating losses for which a tax benefit is not recorded.
For the three months ended September 30, 2008, the consolidated effective tax rate of 38.1% differs
from the statutory tax rate of 34.0% primarily due to state income taxes, foreign operating losses
for which a tax benefit is not recorded and nondeductible expenses. For the nine months ended
September 30, 2008, the consolidated effective tax rate of 61.9% differs from the statutory tax
rate of 34.0% primarily due to foreign operating losses for which a tax benefit is not recorded and
non-deductible expenses. The level of foreign operating losses was made worse during the second
quarter of 2008 because a significant portion of the Companys restructuring charge was incurred in
countries with historical operating losses.

Note 9 Segment Reporting
Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise about which separate financial
information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker, or
decision-making group, in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. Our
chief operating decision-making group is the Executive Leadership Team. The operating segments are
managed separately because each operating segment represents a strategic business unit which offers
different services.
The accounting policies of the operating segments are the same as those described in Note 1 to the
Companys consolidated financial statements contained in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K
for the year ended December 31, 2008. The Company evaluates segment performance based on segment
gross profit. Assets are not allocated to operating segments, but certain amounts of depreciation
and amortization expense are allocated to operating segments.
Financial information for the Companys operating segments is as follows:

Note 11 Fair Value Measurements
On January 1, 2009, the Company adopted the provisions of ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and
Disclosures (ASC 820) related to nonfinancial assets and liabilities on a prospective basis. ASC
820 establishes the authoritative definition of fair value, sets out a framework for measuring fair
value and expands the required disclosures about fair value measurement. On January 1, 2008, the
Company adopted the provisions of ASC 820 related to financial assets and liabilities as well as
other assets and liabilities carried at fair value on a recurring basis. The valuation techniques
required by ASC 820 are based on observable and inobservable inputs using the following hierarchy:
|
Level 1 |
|
Observable inputs such as quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for
identical assets or liabilities. |
|
|
Level 2 |
|
Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability,
either directly or indirectly. These include quoted prices for similar assets or
liabilities in active markets and quoted prices for identical or similar assets or
liabilities in markets that are not active. |
|
|
Level 3 |
|
Unobservable inputs that reflect the reporting entitys own assumptions. |
The
following table summarizes the basis used to measure certain financial assets and financial
liabilities at fair value on a recurring basis in the balance sheet:

In April 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued additional provisions of
ASC 820 that extends the disclosure requirements of ASC 820 to interim financial statements. This
provision is effective for financial statements issued for interim periods ending after June 15,
2009. The adoption of this provision did not have a material impact on the Companys consolidated
financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
At September 30, 2009, the Companys financial instruments consist of accounts receivable, accounts
payable and long-term debt. The carrying values of accounts receivable and accounts payable
approximate their fair values due to their short maturity periods. The fair value of the Companys
debt approximates its carrying value based on the variable nature of the interest rates and current
market rates available to the Company.

TECHTEAM GLOBAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(continued)
Note 11 Fair Value Measurements (continued)
On January 1, 2009, the Company adopted the provisions of ASC 815 Derivatives and Hedging (ASC
815). The provision amended and expanded the disclosure requirements for derivative instruments
and hedging activities by requiring enhanced disclosures about (i) how and why an entity uses
derivative instruments, (ii) how derivative instruments and related hedged items were accounted for
previously and its related interpretations, and (iii) how derivative instruments and related hedged
items affect an entitys financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. The adoption of
these provisions requires prospective disclosures and accordingly did not affect the Companys
historical consolidated financial statements.
On June 4, 2007, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement with a notional amount of
$30,000,000. Under the swap agreement, the notional amount will be reduced by $625,000 on a monthly
basis and will mature on June 3, 2011. The purpose of the interest rate swap, which is designated
as a cash flow hedge, is to manage interest costs and the risk associated with variable-rate debt.
The Company does not hold or issue derivative instruments for trading purposes. The swap
effectively converts a portion of the Companys variable-rate debt under the Credit Agreement to a
fixed rate. Under this agreement, the Company receives a floating rate based on LIBOR and pays a
fixed rate of 5.55% on the outstanding notional amount. The fair value of these interest rate
derivatives are based on quoted prices for similar instruments from a commercial bank and,
therefore, the interest rate derivative is considered a level 2 item.
For the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2009, losses recognized in other
comprehensive income (loss) on derivatives were $49,000 and $135,000, respectively and losses
reclassified from other comprehensive income (loss) into interest expense upon settlement amounted
to $189,000 and $610,000, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, respectively. The
liability associated with the interest rate swap is included in other current liabilities and other
long-term liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet in the amounts of $482,000 and $117,000,
respectively, at September 30, 2009.
Note 12 Subsequent Event
During the second quarter of 2009, the Company adopted the provisions of ASC 855, Subsequent
Events (ASC 855), which establishes general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events
that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued. The adoption of
ASC 855 did not have a material impact on the Companys consolidated financial position, results of
operations or cash flows. In accordance with ASC 855, the Company has evaluated subsequent events
through November 9, 2009, which is the date on which these financial statements were issued.

ITEM 2 MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
(MD&A)
TechTeam Global, Inc. is a leading provider of information technology (IT) outsourcing and
business process outsourcing services to large and medium business, as well as government
organizations. The Companys primary services include service desk, technical support, desk-side
support, security administration, infrastructure management and related professional services.
TechTeam also provides a number of specialized, value-added services in specific vertical markets.
Our business consists of two main components our Commercial business and our Government
business. Together, our IT Outsourcing Services segment, IT Consulting and Systems Integration
segment and Other Services segment comprise our Commercial business. Our Government Technology
Services segment comprises our Government business. In addition to managing our business by service
line, we also manage our business by geographic markets the Americas (defined as North America
excluding our government-based subsidiaries), Europe and Government Solutions (defined as our
government-based subsidiaries). Together, the Americas and Europe comprise our Commercial business.
TechTeam is transforming into a truly global IT service provider, with significant revenue
diversification from our government business. We have targeted our investments to develop a service
delivery offering portfolio that expands from our Information Technology Infrastructure Library
(ITIL) based service desk expertise into higher margin value-added services, including remote
infrastructure management and security administration. We have extended our global reach by
expanding into important, targeted geographies and by leveraging the strong relationships that we
have with current global clients to provide services to them across geographies and in new markets.
We believe we have made significant strides in the establishment of TechTeam as a brand leader in
our chosen service offerings.
However, as with many companies, the current global economic downturn continues to present
significant challenges and impediments to this transformation. As a result of our customers
response to economic conditions, we continue to experience price, volume and account erosion. In
the third quarter 2009, our contracts to provide services to four long-standing customers ended.
For example, while the Company was able to maintain work with the Air National Guard as a
subcontractor, the new contract award, effective October 1, 2009, committed to significantly lower
revenue from the expiring contract. Moreover, as we disclosed in the second quarter 2009, Volvo Car
Company has terminated our contract, and we ceased providing service to Volvo on October 31, 2009.
As a result of these contract losses, we estimate a loss of approximately $5.6 million dollars of
revenue for the fourth quarter of 2009. Please refer to our discussion of Ford and US Federal
Government in the Significant
Customers section of MD&A. Although the sales cycle for new and existing customers has been
elongated by the
economic downturn, TechTeam continues to have a substantial pipeline of
opportunities.
16
To counter the challenges of the current business environment and consequent erosion, we continue
to focus on strong execution, to manage costs very closely and to adjust capacity to meet changes
in demand. Despite the difficult economic environment, TechTeam delivered solid results in the
third quarter of 2009 of $.08 per diluted share.

Total Company revenue decreased $11.8 million, or 18.4%, to $52.3 million in the third quarter of
2009 from $64.2 million in the third quarter of 2008. The revenue decrease was across all segments and
was driven primarily by an approximate $1.8 million impact of exchange rates on revenue in Europe,
$1.9 million lower revenues from the divestiture of ANE on October 31, 2008, the conclusion of
customer contracts in the IT Outsourcing Services and Government Technology Services segments and a
decrease in project based work due to the difficult economic environment. This decrease was
partially offset by new customer contracts in the Americas. The foreign currency impact was
calculated as if revenue generated in Europe were translated into U.S. dollars at the average
exchange rates in effect during the third quarter of 2008. We are unable to predict the effect
fluctuations in international currencies will have on revenue for the remainder of 2009, but given
the uncertain market environment and the effect on the U.S. dollar, there could be noteworthy
revenue volatility. Excluding the impact of exchange rates on revenue and the divestiture of ANE,
revenue decreased approximately $8.1 million, or 13.1%.
IT Outsourcing Services
Revenue from IT Outsourcing Services decreased $4.3 million, or 14.0%, to $26.2 million in the
third quarter of 2009, from $30.5 million in the third quarter of 2008. The revenue decrease was
primarily a result of the impact of exchange rates on revenue, the conclusion of customer contracts
in Europe and the Americas, and lower revenue from Ford, partially offset by an increase in revenue
in the Americas from new customer contracts. The foreign currency impact approximated $1.1 million
and was calculated as if IT Outsourcing Services revenue in Europe was translated into U.S. dollars at the
average exchange rates in effect during the third quarter of 2008.
IT Outsourcing Services revenue generated from Ford globally decreased $2.2 million, or 26.6%, to
$6.3 million in the third quarter of 2009 from $8.5 million in 2008. Revenue from Ford decreased
9.2% in the Americas and 43.7% in Europe as a result of a decline in seats supported from a
reduction in Fords workforce, the impact of exchange rates, lower pricing as a result of the
contract renewal and the separation of Jaguar Land Rover from the Ford SPOC contract. However, the
Company still provides services to Jaguar Land Rover under a direct contract. Please refer to our
discussion of Ford in the Significant Customers section of MD&A.
17
IT Consulting and Systems Integration
Revenue from IT Consulting and Systems Integration decreased $3.6 million, or 57.2%, to $2.7
million in the third quarter of 2009, from $6.3 million in the third quarter of 2008. Revenue
decreased in Europe mainly due to the divestiture of ANE, a decrease in project based work due to a
difficult economy and the elimination of projects. In the Americas, revenue decreased primarily
from the wind-down of certain systems implementation and training projects in our hospitality
business and our business with Dell to provide service to Ford. Excluding revenue from the
divestiture of ANE, IT Consulting and Systems Integration revenue decreased $1.8 million, or 39.3%,
to $2.7 million in the third quarter of 2009 from $4.5 million in the third quarter of 2008.
Government Technology Services
Revenue from Government Technology Services decreased $2.3 million, or 10.3%, to $19.7 million in
the third quarter of 2009, from $22.0 million in 2008, primarily due to the Company becoming a
subcontractor with the Business Transformation Agency (BTA) of the Department of Defense where we
previously were the prime contractor. Please refer to our discussion of the U.S. Federal Government
in the Significant Customers section of MD&A.

Gross profit decreased $2.8 million, or 18.7%, to $12.0 million in the third quarter of 2009 from
$14.8 million in the third quarter of 2008. Gross margin remained consistent at 23.0% for third
quarter 2009 and 23.1% for third quarter 2008. The decrease in gross profit was driven primarily by
a decline in revenue and severance costs related to the conclusion of contracts in IT Outsourcing
Services and Government Technology Services segments.
IT Outsourcing Services
Gross profit from IT Outsourcing Services decreased 15.3% to $5.3 million in the third quarter of
2009, from $6.3 million in 2008, and gross margin decreased to 20.4% from 20.7%. Gross profit and
gross margin decreased due to the decline in revenue and severance costs related to the conclusion
of contracts. The decline in gross margin was partially offset by improved operational improvements
on certain existing accounts and new customer contracts in the Americas.
18
IT Consulting and Systems Integration
Gross profit from IT Consulting and Systems Integration decreased 53.5% to $628,000 in the third
quarter of 2009 from $1.4 million in 2008 and gross margin increased to 23.2% from 21.3% for the
third quarter of 2008. Gross profit in Europe decreased due to the divestiture of ANE on October
31, 2008 and less project-based IT Consulting work over the rest of Europe due to economic
pressures in that region. However, gross margin in Europe improved primarily due to divesting of
certain lower margin IT consulting and systems integration projects at ANE. Gross profit and gross
margin in the Americas decreased primarily due to the wind-down of certain systems implementation
and training projects in our hospitality business and our business with Dell to provide service to
Ford.
Government Technology Services
Gross profit from our Government Technology Services segment decreased 12.4% to $5.2 million in the
third quarter of 2009 from $5.9 million in the third quarter of 2008, while gross margin decreased
to 26.3% from 26.9%. The decrease in gross margin was due to various factors, most notably the
decline in revenue from becoming a subcontractor with the BTA of the Department of Defense where we
previously were the prime contractor and severance costs related to the loss of customer contracts.

Americas
Revenue generated in the Americas decreased $1.8 million, or 10.1%, to $15.5 million in the third
quarter of 2009, from $17.3 million in the third quarter of
2008. Revenue from IT Outsourcing Services experienced an increase in growth from new customers. Revenue in IT Consulting and Systems
Integration decreased mainly due to the wind-down of certain systems implementation and training
projects in our hospitality business and our business with Dell to provide service to Ford. The
Other Services segment also experienced a decrease in revenue from technical staffing projects due
primarily to the difficult economic environment. Gross margin from the Americas increased to 20.2%
in the third quarter of 2009 from 19.5% in the third quarter of 2008 mainly due to an increase in
gross margin in the IT Outsourcing Services segment from operational improvements on certain existing
accounts.
19
Europe
Revenue generated in Europe decreased $7.8 million, or 31.3%, to $17.1 million in the third quarter
of 2009 from $24.9 million in the third quarter of 2008, due to the impact of exchange rates on
revenue, the conclusion of customer contracts in the IT Outsourcing Services segment, the divestiture of ANE
and a decrease in our staffing business at SQM and Akela. The foreign currency impact approximated
$1.8 million and was calculated as if revenue in Europe in third quarter of 2009 were translated
into U.S. dollars at the average exchange rates in effect during the third quarter of 2008.
Excluding the impact of exchange rates on revenue and the divestiture of ANE, revenue decreased
approximately $4.1 million, or 18.0%, to $18.9 million for the third quarter of 2009 from $23.0
million in the third quarter of 2008. Gross margin from Europe decreased to 21.7% in the third
quarter of 2009, from 22.1% in 2008, primarily due to less revenue and increased severance costs
related to the conclusion of customer contracts.

Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expense decreased $670,000, or 6.1%, to $10.4 million in the third quarter of 2009 from $11.0
million in the third quarter of 2008. The aggregate decrease was due to a number of items, each
individually insignificant. SG&A expense increased to 19.8% of total revenue in the third quarter
of 2009, from 17.2% of total revenue in 2008 due primarily to the decline in revenue and the
inability of the Company to adequately reduce certain SG&A costs, during the third quarter of 2009,
in response to the decline in revenue.
Net interest expense was $314,000 in the third quarter of 2009, compared to $425,000 in 2008, as a
result of lower average outstanding long-term debt.
For the three months ended September 30, 2009, the consolidated effective tax rate was 36.9%. This
rate differs from statutory levels primarily because the reversal of the restructuring charge
recorded in Belgium where there was no tax expense for the charge due to the availability of tax
loss carry forwards which offset taxable income. The effective tax rate excluding the reversal of
restructuring charges was 38.5% which differs from the statutory tax rate of 34.0% primarily due to
state income taxes, non-deductible expenses and foreign operating losses for which a tax benefit is
not recorded.
For the three months ended September 30, 2008, the consolidated effective tax rate of 38.1% differs
from the statutory tax rate of 34.0% primarily due to state income taxes, foreign operating losses
for which a tax benefit is not recorded and nondeductible expenses.

Total Company revenue decreased $35.2 million, or 17.8%, to $162.8 million for the nine months
ended September 30, 2009 from the same period in 2008. The revenue decrease was across all segments
and was driven primarily by an approximate $9.3 million impact of exchange rates on revenue in
Europe, $6.8 million lower revenues from the divestiture of ANE on October 31, 2008, the conclusion
of customer contracts in the IT Outsourcing Services and Government Technology Services segments
and a decrease in project based work due to the difficult economic environment. This decrease was
partially offset by new customer contracts in the Americas and the acquisition of Onvaio that was
completed on May 30, 2008. The foreign currency impact was calculated as if revenue generated in
Europe were translated into U.S. dollars at the average exchange rates in effect during the first
nine months of 2008. We are unable to predict the effect fluctuations in international currencies
will have on revenue for the remainder of 2009, but given the uncertain market environment and the
effect on the U.S. dollar, there could be noteworthy revenue volatility. Excluding the impact of
exchange rates on revenue and the revenue from the acquisition of Onvaio and the divestiture of
ANE, revenue decreased approximately $19.7 million, or 10.3%.
IT Outsourcing Services
Revenue from IT Outsourcing Services decreased $10.7 million, or 11.7%, to $80.5 million for the
nine months ended September 30, 2009, from $91.2 million during the same period of 2008. The
revenue decrease was primarily a result of the impact of exchange rates on revenue, the conclusion
of customer contracts in Europe and the Americas and lower revenue from Ford partially offset by an
increase in revenue in the Americas from new customer contracts. The foreign currency impact
approximated $6.6 million and was calculated as if IT Outsourcing Services revenue in Europe was translated
into U.S. dollars at the average exchange rates in effect during the nine months ended September
30, 2008.
IT Outsourcing Services revenue generated from Ford globally decreased $5.8 million, or 21.7%, to
$21.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 compared to $27.0 million in 2008.
Revenue from Ford declined 5.9% in the Americas and 36.9% in Europe as a result of a decline in
seats supported from a reduction in Fords workforce, the impact of exchange rates, the lower price
in the contract renewal and the separation of Jaguar Land Rover from the Ford SPOC contract.
However, the Company still provides services to Jaguar Land Rover under a direct contract. Please
refer to our discussion of Ford in the Significant Customers section of MD&A.
21
IT Consulting and Systems Integration
Revenue from IT Consulting and Systems Integration decreased $11.5 million, or 54.0%, to $9.8
million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009, from $21.3 million during the same period in
2008. Revenue decreased in Europe mainly due to the divestiture of ANE, a decrease in project based
work due to a difficult economy and the elimination of projects. In the Americas, revenue decreased
primarily from the wind-down of certain systems implementation and training projects in our
hospitality business and our business with Dell through Ford. Excluding revenue from the
divestiture of ANE, IT Consulting and Systems Integration revenue decreased $5.0 million, or 33.7%,
to $9.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 from $14.8 million for the same period
in 2008.
Government Technology Services
Revenue from Government Technology Services decreased $5.7 million, or 8.6%, to $60.6 million
during the nine months ended September 30, 2009, from $66.2 million for the same period in 2008,
primarily due to the Company becoming a subcontractor with the BTA of the Department of Defense where we previously were the prime contractor. Please refer to
our discussion of the U.S. Federal Government in the Significant Customers section of MD&A.

Gross profit decreased $5.9 million, or 13.0%, to $39.3 million for the nine months ended September
30, 2009 from $45.2 million during the same period of 2008. In contrast, gross margin improved to
24.2% for nine months ended September 30, 2009 from 22.8% for the same period of 2008. The decrease
in gross profit was driven mainly by lower revenue and severance costs related to the conclusion of
customer contracts in the IT Outsourcing Services and Government Technology Services segments. The
acquisition of Onvaio and the divestiture of ANE had a slight impact on the nine months ended
September 30, 2009 gross profit and gross margin. The improvement in gross margin was driven by new
customer contracts in the Americas, elimination of lower margin projects, successful execution of
restructurings announced and completed in 2008 and enhanced operational efficiencies. Excluding
gross profit contributed by the acquisition of Onvaio and the divestiture of ANE, total gross
profit decreased $5.4 million, or 12.2%, and gross margin decreased to 22.7% in the nine months
ended September 30, 2009 from 23.2% for the same period in 2008.

IT Outsourcing Services
Gross profit from IT Outsourcing Services decreased 4.1% to $17.6 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 2009, from $18.3 million in 2008, and gross margin increased to 21.8% from 20.1%.
Gross profit decreased mainly due to lower revenue and severance costs related to the conclusion of
customer contracts. Gross margin improved primarily due to operational improvements on certain
existing accounts. Gross profit and gross margin in the Americas was also positively impacted by
new customer contracts and the acquisition of Onvaio.
IT Consulting and Systems Integration
Gross profit from IT Consulting and Systems Integration decreased 54.9% to $2.1 million for the
nine months ended September 30, 2009 from $4.6 million in 2008, and gross margin decreased to 21.1%
from 21.5% in 2008. Gross profit in Europe decreased due to the divestiture of ANE on October 31,
2008 and less project-based IT Consulting work over the rest of Europe due to economic pressures in
that region. Gross profit in the Americas decreased mainly due to the wind-down of certain systems
implementation and training projects in our hospitality business and our business with Dell through
Ford.
Government Technology Services
Gross profit from our Government Technology Services segment decreased 6.3% to $16.7 million for
the nine months ended September 30, 2009 from $17.8 million in 2008, and gross margin increased to
27.6% from 26.9%. The increase in gross margin was due to various factors, most notably the
decreased requirement for subcontracted resources on several programs. Please refer to our
discussion of the U.S. Federal Government in the Significant Customers section of MD&A.

Americas
Revenue generated in the Americas decreased $3.4 million, or 6.2%, to $50.6 million for the nine
months ended September 30, 2009, from $54.0 million for the same period in 2008. Revenue from IT
Outsourcing Services experienced an increase in growth from new customers and growth in existing
customers that was partially offset by a decline in revenue earned from Ford. Revenue in IT
Consulting and Systems Integration decreased mainly due to the wind-down of certain systems
implementation and training projects in our hospitality business and our business with Dell through
Ford. The Other Services segment also experienced a decrease in revenue from technical staffing
projects due primarily to the loss of lower margin work. Gross margin from the Americas increased
to 20.2% for nine months ended September 30, 2009 from 19.1% for the same period in 2008 primarily
due to new customer contracts added in the later part of 2008, the acquisition of Onvaio and
improved operating efficiencies.
Europe
Revenue generated in Europe decreased $26.2 million, or 33.7%, to $51.6 million for the nine months
ended September 30, 2009 from $77.8 million for the same period in 2008, due to the impact of
exchange rates on revenue, the conclusion of customer contracts in
the IT Outsourcing Services segment, the
divestiture of ANE and a decrease in our staffing business at SQM and Akela. The foreign currency
impact approximated $9.3 million and was calculated as if revenue in Europe for the nine months
ended September 30, 2009 were translated into U.S. dollars at the average exchange rates in effect
for the same period in 2008. Excluding the impact of exchange rates on revenue and the divestiture
of ANE, revenue decreased approximately $10.0 million, or 14.1%, to $61.0 million for the nine
months ended September 30, 2009 from $71.0 million in 2008. Gross margin from Europe increased to
23.8% for the nine months ended September 30, 2009, from 22.0% in 2008, primarily due to divesting
of certain lower margin IT consulting and systems integration projects at ANE and throughout Europe
and improved operating efficiencies.

SG&A expense decreased $2.9 million, or 8.3%, to $32.4
million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 from $35.3 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 2008. The decrease resulted primarily from a
reduction in payroll related costs
driven by lower administrative headcount and the restructuring actions taken in 2008. This decrease
was offset by an increase of approximately $700,000 in the Companys allowance for doubtful
accounts primarily related to the bankruptcy of two customers. SG&A expense increased to 19.9% of
total revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2009, from 17.8% of total revenue in 2008
primarily to the decline in revenue and the inability of the Company to adequately reduce certain
SG&A costs, during the nine months ended September 30, 2009, in response to the decline in revenue.
24
In connection with the decision between the Board of Directors and the Companys former President
and Chief Executive Officer, William C. Brown, not to renew Mr. Browns contract upon its
completion in February 2009, Mr. Browns Employment and Noncompetition Agreement was amended. Under
the terms of the amendment, (1) all outstanding, unvested stock-based awards were accelerated and
became fully vested in February 2008, (2) Mr. Brown will have until February 15, 2010 to exercise
outstanding stock options and (3) Mr. Brown was paid a bonus for fiscal 2008 of $75,000. The
modification of the stock-based awards to accelerate vesting and extend the period in which stock
options may be exercised resulted in additional compensation expense of $254,000 in the nine months
ended September 30, 2008.
Net interest expense was $918,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009, compared to $1.3
million in 2008, a result of lower average outstanding long-term debt offset by lower interest
income from lower average invested cash equivalents and lower interest rates.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2009, the consolidated effective tax rate was 37.1%. This
rate differs from statutory levels primarily because the reversal of the restructuring charge was
recorded in Belgium where there was no tax expense for the charge due to the substantial tax loss
carry forwards from historical net operating losses. Excluding restructuring charges, the
effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 was 42.4%. The effective tax rate
excluding the restructuring charges differs from the statutory tax rate of 34.0% primarily due to
state income taxes, foreign operating losses for which a tax benefit is not recorded and
non-deductible expenses.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2008, the consolidated effective tax rate of 61.9% differs
from the statutory tax rate of 34.0% primarily due to foreign operating losses for which a tax
benefit is not recorded and nondeductible expenses. The level of foreign operating losses
increased during the second quarter of 2008 because a significant portion of the Companys
restructuring charges was incurred in countries with historical operating losses.
Significant Customers
We conduct business under multiple contracts with various entities within the Ford organization and
with various agencies and departments of the U.S. Federal Government. For the quarters ended
September 30, 2009 and 2008, Ford accounted for 13.9% and 15.7%, respectively, of the Companys
total revenue, and the U.S. Federal Government accounted for 31.9% and 29.3%, respectively of the
Companys total revenue. For the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, Ford accounted for
14.4% and 16.1%, respectively, of the Companys total revenue, and the U.S. Federal Government
accounted for 32.8% and 29.3%, respectively, of the Companys total revenue. For the three months
ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively, 18.8% and 18.3% of the Companys total revenue was
derived from agencies within the U.S. Department of Defense, in the aggregate. For the nine months
ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively, 19.2% and 18.6% of our total revenue was derived
from agencies within the U.S. Department of Defense, in the aggregate.
Ford Motor Company
Our business with Ford Motor Company (Ford) consists of service desk, desk side support,
infrastructure management and technical staffing. Revenue generated through our business with Ford
decreased to $23.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 from $31.9 million for the
same period in 2008. The decline in revenue is attributable to a number of factors, including (a)
seat count and volume declines within the Ford environment; (b) the effects of the entry into
three-year renewal of the Global Single Point of Contact (SPOC) contract, which resulted in a
change of service delivery and pricing model as discussed below; (c) the divestiture of Jaguar Land
Rover (JLR) from the Ford family of companies, which was offset by the decision of JLR to
contract directly with TechTeam for the provision of services; (d) the termination of the Companys
contract with Dell, Inc. under which the Company provided systems integration services to Ford as a
subcontractor to Dell; and (e) the impact of exchange rates.
25
On December 23, 2008, the Company executed a new SPOC contract, under which TechTeam provides
support services to Fords information technology infrastructure. Under the SPOC contract, TechTeam
provides service desk, deskside support, service management, infrastructure management, and
identity and access management services to Ford in North America, Western Europe, and Asia. The
contract renewal provides for a significant change in the service delivery model. These changes
include the transition and centralization of service for English speaking Ford personnel to our
operations in the Philippines, the transition of service for German speaking Ford personnel to
Romania, and an enhanced centralized remote deskside support management function. This transition
was completed in 2009.
As we have previously reported, Ford has announced its willingness to sell Volvo Car Corporation.
As a result, Volvo has taken action to de-bundle local/global Ford IT programs, including the SPOC
contract. Accordingly, in late July 2009, we received notice from Volvo that it intended to
withdraw from the SPOC contract effective October 31, 2009. We have been unsuccessful in extending
Volvos participation in the SPOC contract or in establishing a subcontract relationship with the
vendor selected by Volvo. As a result, revenue from Volvo ended on October 31, 2009.
As a result of changes in the delivery model under the SPOC contract, decreases in the number of
seats supported in the Ford environment, a lower price for our service and Volvos withdraw from
the SPOC contract, we anticipate lower revenues under the renewed contract of up to $3.7 million in
2009. Moreover, with the withdrawal of Volvo from the SPOC contract, we expect an insignificant
decrease in the SPOC contracts overall gross margin in 2009.
Under the existing contract, except for our support of Volvo, for whom we bill on a per-incident
basis, we provide a set of infrastructure support services under specific service level metrics,
and we invoice Ford based upon the number of seats we support. The number of seats supported is
determined bi-annually on February 1 and August 1 of each year. If certain contractual conditions
are met, Ford and TechTeam have the right during each six-month period to request one out-of-cycle
seat adjustment.
U.S. Federal Government
We conduct business under multiple contracts with various agencies and departments of the U.S.
Federal Government. Revenue generated through our business with the U.S. Federal Government
decreased to $53.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 from $58.0 million for the
same period in 2008.
In years when the U.S. Federal Government does not complete its budget process before the end of
its fiscal year, government operations typically are funded pursuant to a continuing resolution
that authorizes agencies of the government to continue to operate, but traditionally does not
authorize new spending initiatives. When the U.S. Federal Government operates pursuant to a
continuing resolution, delays can occur in procurement of products and services, and such delays
can affect our revenue, profit and cash flow during the period of delay.
The results of our Government business have been negatively impacted by the difficult government
contracting environment created by the budget constraints our customers face. As a result of this
environment, many customers have delayed procurement actions. In turn, we have experienced delays
in our expected new business development. Despite being informed that we were not selected as prime
contractor for the BTA of the Department of Defense, we continue to provide service to the BTA as a
subcontractor. For the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 we earned $2.9 million and
$7.2 million in revenue from the BTA, respectively.
As previously reported, our contract for the Air National Guard (ANG) ended on September 30,
2009. ANG in-sourced the majority of the work performed under the expiring contract. ANG did award
a new contract to Harris Corporation, with the Company as a subcontractor, which covered the work
under the expiring contract that was not in-sourced and additional
positions. Accordingly, the new contract will produce significantly less revenue and gross margin
than the expiring contract. Specifically, had the Company been
delivering service under the new contract for the nine
months ended September 30, 2009, total U.S. Federal Government
revenue would have been reduced on a net basis by approximately 15%.

New Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2009, FASB issued ASC 105, Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of GAAP
(ASC 105). ASC 105 is effective for financial statements issued for interim and annual periods
ending after September 15, 2009. ASC 105 is now the source of authoritative Generally Accepted
Accounting Principles (GAAP) recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities.
ASC 105 was not intended to change or alter existing GAAP, did not have a material impact on our
consolidated financial statements and will only impact references for accounting guidance.
During the second quarter of 2009, the Company adopted the provisions of ASC 855, Subsequent
Events (ASC 855), which establishes general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events
that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued. The adoption
of ASC 855 did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial position or results of
operations.
In April 2009, the FASB issued additional provisions of ASC 820 Fair Value Measurements and
Disclosures (ASC 820) that extends the disclosure requirements of ASC 820 to interim financial
statements. This provision was effective for financial statements issued for interim periods ending
after June 15, 2009. The adoption of this provision did not have a material impact on the Companys
consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
On January 1, 2009, the Company adopted the provisions of ASC 820 related to nonfinancial assets
and liabilities on a prospective basis. ASC 820 establishes the authoritative definition of fair
value, sets out a framework for measuring fair value and expands the required disclosures about
fair value measurement. On January 1, 2008, the Company adopted the provisions of ASC 820 related
to financial assets and liabilities as well as other assets and liabilities carried at fair value
on a recurring basis. The adoption of the provisions of ASC 820 did not affect the Companys
historical consolidated financial statements. For more information, see Note 11, Financial
Instruments Measured at Fair Value.
On January 1, 2009, the Company adopted the provisions of ASC 815 Derivatives and Hedging (ASC
815). The provision amended and expanded the disclosure requirements for derivative instruments and
hedging activities by requiring enhanced disclosures about (i) how and why an entity uses
derivative instruments, (ii) how derivative instruments and related hedged items were accounted for
previously and its related interpretations, and (iii) how derivative instruments and related hedged
items affect an entitys financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. The adoption of
these provisions requires prospective disclosures and accordingly did not affect the Companys
historical consolidated financial statements.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash and cash equivalents were $16.7 million at September 30, 2009, compared to $16.9 million at
December 31, 2008. Cash and cash equivalents decreased $222,000 for the nine months ended September
30, 2009, as a result of $16.4 million in net cash provided by operating activities and the
positive impact of $1.1 million related to exchange rates, offset by $16.6 million in cash used for
the repayment of long-term debt and $1.2 million in cash used for capital expenditures.
27
Net cash provided from operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008
was $16.4 million and $3.8 million, respectively. Net cash provided from operations for the nine
months ended September 30, 2009 was primarily due to net income of $3.8 million, adjusted for
depreciation/amortization expense and non-cash stock based compensation expense of $5.1 million and
$1.5 million, respectively, as well as net changes in operating assets and liabilities of $6.0
million. The net changes in operating assets and liabilities as of September 30, 2009 were
primarily related to a reduction in accounts receivable of $10.0 million, principally driven by
reduction in overall sales and a focused effort on cash collections; and an increase in deferred
revenue of $1.8 million principally driven by the timing of new customer payments; partially offset
by a reduction in accrued expenses of $3.8 million primarily due to the partial reversal and
payments reducing accrued restructuring and a decrease in accrued liabilities related to
subcontractor and consultant expense; and a decrease in accrued payroll of $1.0 million, primarily
due to the decrease in headcount. The cash generated from these operating cash flow improvements
was primarily used to pay down debt.
Cash provided from operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 was primarily due to net
income of $1.8 million, adjusted for depreciation/amortization expense and non-cash stock based
compensation expense of $5.8 million and $1.7 million, respectively, as well as net changes in
operating assets and liabilities of ($5.5) million. The net changes in operating assets and
liabilities as of September 30, 2008 were primarily related to a reduction in accounts receivable
of $12.4 million; partially offset by a decrease in accounts payable of $14.6 million and a
decrease in accrued expenses of $1.5 million. We experienced a significant decrease in accounts
payable during 2008. The decrease in accounts payable was primarily driven by payments made under
certain contracts with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS). Sytel serves as the prime
contractor and Electronic Data Systems Corporation (EDS) serves as its subcontractor. EDS
performs in excess of 95% of the work under the contract and creates the invoices, which Sytel
forwards to the DHS. Under the subcontract agreement between Sytel and EDS, Sytel does not pay EDS
invoices until Sytel receives payment from the DHS. As a result, there were sizable swings in our
accounts receivable and accounts payable with a minimal impact on cash flow in the future.
Net cash used in investing activities was $1.6 million and $8.1 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. Net cash used in investing activities during the first
nine months of 2009 was used to purchase equipment and software and to make payments to the selling
shareholders of prior acquisitions for achieving financial performance targets, while net cash used
in investing activities in the first nine months of 2008 was related to the Onvaio acquisition and
to purchases of equipment and software. Capital expenditures were at $1.2 million and $2.1 million
for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.
Net cash used in financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 was $16.1
million compared to $1.1 million provided by financing activities for the nine months ended
September 30, 2008. The net cash used in financing activities in the first nine months of 2009 was
primarily used to pay down debt. The net cash provided by financing activities in the first nine
months of 2008 was primarily due to the issuance of $5.0 million in long-term debt that was
partially offset by payments on long-term debt of $4.2 million.
Long-term cash requirements, other than for normal operating expenses, are anticipated for
continued global expansion, enhancements of existing technologies, possible repurchases of our
common stock and the possible acquisition of businesses complementary to our existing businesses.
We believe that positive cash flows from operations, together with existing cash balances and the
existing credit facility, will continue to be sufficient to meet our ongoing operational
requirements for the next twelve months and foreseeable future. We have historically not paid
dividends, and we are restricted from doing so under our Credit Agreement. Current financing
market conditions may limit our sources of funds available, and the terms of such financings for
these activities to the extent financing is desirable or necessary.

ITEM 5 OTHER INFORMATION
On May 6, 2009 the Companys Board of Directors elected Seth W. Hamot to the position of Chairman
of the Board of Directors.
On September 12, 2008, the Company entered into a three-year agreement commencing January 1, 2009
with Ernst & Young US LLP (E&Y) to provide standard service desk support to E&Ys U.S. employees,
partners and others who are authorized to access the service desk. This agreement followed a
procurement process conducted by E&Y for service desk services in which the Company and other
companies participated. The Company and E&Y carefully evaluated the proposed procurement
relationship and each separately concluded it is permissible under the applicable auditor
independence rules as E&Y is the consumer of the services, and the services and terms and
conditions are in the ordinary course of business. The Companys Audit Committee similarly
concluded there is no impact on E&Ys auditor independence.
