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. The
Company intends to qualify its 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 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 the beliefs and expectations of the Company and its 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 historical
results and those projected.
Due to such uncertainties, readers are 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. The
Company expressly undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking
statements as a result of changed assumptions, new information, future events or otherwise.
There are numerous factors that could prevent us from achieving our goals and cause future results
to differ materially from historical results or those expressed or implied by forward-looking
statements including, but not limited to, the following:
Ø |
|
Our revenue is generated from a limited number of clients. |
|
Ø |
|
Our success is subject to the terms of our client contracts. |
|
Ø |
|
Our success depends on the continued progress of our business turnaround. |
|
Ø |
|
Our business may be affected by our cash flows from operations and borrowing availability under our current loan
agreement. |
|
Ø |
|
Our financial results depend on our ability to effectively manage our customer care center capacity and our
international expansion. |
|
Ø |
|
Our inability to attract and retain a sufficient number of qualified employees could negatively impact our business. |
|
Ø |
|
Our business operates in a highly competitive market. |
|
Ø |
|
Our future success and competitiveness will depend on our ability to keep our technology up-to-date. |
|
Ø |
|
Circumstances outside our control such as acts of God, political instability, equipment malfunction, war, and terrorism
could seriously harm our business. |
|
Ø |
|
Our business and our clients businesses are subject to federal and state regulation. |
|
Ø |
|
Our financial results may be affected by risks associated with international operations and expansion. |
|
Ø |
|
Our liquidity and ability to meet the terms of our current loan agreement could be materially affected should the
Company not prevail in its dispute with the Internal Revenue Service. |
See the Companys filings with the SEC for further discussion of the risks and uncertainties
associated with the Companys business, in particular, the discussion in Item 1A of Part I of the
Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 1, 2006.

APAC CUSTOMER SERVICES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
(Amounts in thousands, except as otherwise indicated)
1. Basis of Presentation
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 footnotes 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. Operating results for the
thirty-nine weeks ended October 1, 2006 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be
expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2006. The balance sheet at October 1, 2006 has
been derived from the unaudited financial statements at that date, but does not include all of the
information and notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. For additional
information, refer to the 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 1, 2006. 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 third quarter that ends on the Sunday closest to
September 30th. The Company operates on a 52/53 week fiscal year that ends on the Sunday
closest to December 31st.
2. New Accounting Pronouncements
In November 2005, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Financial Statement
Position (FSP) No. 123(R)-3, Transition Election Related to Accounting for the Tax Effects of
Share-Based Payment Awards. This pronouncement provides an alternative method of calculating
excess tax benefits available to absorb any tax deficiencies recognized subsequent to the adoption
of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123(R) Share-Based Payment. The Company
has until January 1, 2007 to make a one-time election to adopt the transition method. The Company
is currently evaluating FSP No. 123(R)-3; however, any one-time election is not expected to
materially affect operating income or net earnings.
The FASB issued FASB Interpretation 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes: an
interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109, (FIN 48) on July 13, 2006. FIN 48 clarifies Statement
109, Accounting for Income Taxes, to indicate a criterion that an individual tax position would
have to meet for some or all of the benefit of that position to be recognized in an entitys
financial statements. In applying FIN 48, an entity is required to evaluate a tax position using a
two-step process. First, the entity should evaluate the position for recognition. An entity should
recognize the financial statement benefit of a tax position if it determines that it is more likely
than not that the position will be sustained on examination. Next, the entity should measure the
amount of benefit that should be recognized for those tax positions that meet the
more-likely-than-not test. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006.
The Company is currently evaluating the effect FIN 48 will have on its financial statements.

The January 1, 2006 balance of accrued restructuring charges included $0.7 million related to the
write-off of property and leasehold improvements from the July 2005 restructuring plan. This amount
has been reclassified as a reduction of property and equipment.
4. Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
The Companys policy is to test goodwill for impairment as of the end of the fiscal year. If events
occur that would necessitate a more frequent review, the Company will perform its evaluation for
impairment at that time. The Company tested goodwill for impairment as of January 1, 2006,
resulting in no impairment being recorded. As of October 1, 2006 and January 1, 2006, the Company
had $13.3 million of goodwill.
For the quarter ended October 2, 2005 the Company performed an interim impairment test of goodwill
as a result of the 2005 restructuring plan. The Company obtained a third-party valuation of the
Company and compared that valuation to the carrying cost of the Company. The comparison indicated
that goodwill was impaired. The Company measured the amount of impairment by allocating the
valuation to the assets and liabilities of the Company and comparing the unallocated residual to
the carrying cost of goodwill. The comparison resulted in an impairment charge of $10.5 million
being taken in the quarter ended October 2, 2005.
The identifiable intangible assets of the Company represent acquired customer relationships with a
gross carrying value of $28.5 million and accumulated amortization of $19.9 million and $18.2
million as of October 1, 2006 and January 1, 2006, respectively. Under SFAS No. 142, identifiable
intangible assets with finite lives are amortized. The customer relationship intangible assets are
amortized on a straight-line basis over the expected period of benefit of 12 years. Total
amortization expense related to intangible assets was $0.6 million and $1.8 million, respectively,
for the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended, October 1, 2006 and October 2, 2005. Annual
amortization expense is expected to be $2.3 million for fiscal year 2006 through 2009 and $1.0
million in fiscal year 2010.
5. Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation
At October 1, 2006, the Company had a share-based incentive compensation plan for employees and
non-employee directors, which authorized the granting of various equity-based incentives, including
stock options and restricted common shares. The number of common shares reserved for issuance under
the plan was 11.8 million at October 1, 2006, of which 2.5 million shares are available for future
grants.

(Amounts in thousands, except as otherwise indicated)
Effective January 2, 2006, the Company adopted FASB Statement No. 123(R) Share-Based Payment
(SFAS No. 123(R)). Prior to fiscal year 2006, as permitted under SFAS No. 123, Accounting for
Stock-Based Compensation, the Company accounted for its stock compensation plans according to
Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25 Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and
related interpretations. The Company adopted the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No.
123(R) using the modified prospective transition method, and therefore, it has not restated its
prior period financial statements.
Under the modified prospective transition method, compensation expense is recognized for new grants
and any unvested grants made prior to the adoption of SFAS No. 123(R) beginning in fiscal year
2006.. Stock-based compensation expense for all share-based payment awards is based on the
grant-date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 123(R). Compensation
expense related to share-based awards, net of a forfeiture rate, is amortized on a straight-line
basis over the requisite employees service periods in selling, general and administrative expenses
in the condensed consolidated statements of operations in accordance with the classification of the
related employees compensation and benefits. The Company estimated the forfeiture rate, volatility
and expected life for all awards based on its experience during the preceding fiscal years. The
interest rate is based on the 10-year treasury bond. Total stock-based compensation expense was
$0.4 million and $1.1 million, respectively, for the thirteen weeks and thirty-nine weeks ended
October 1, 2006. The recognized tax benefit was $0.1 million for the thirteen weeks ended October
1, 2006 and $0.4 million for the thirty-nine weeks ended October 1, 2006. As of October 1, 2006,
there was $2.2 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to un-vested awards that is
expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of approximately three years.
Options to purchase common shares are granted with an exercise price equal to the average of the
high and low market price of the Companys common shares on the date of the grant. Substantially
all of the options become exercisable between one to five years after the grant date and generally
expire ten years from the grant date.
During the thirteen weeks ended October 1, 2006, the Company did not award restricted common shares
to employees. During the thirty-nine weeks ended October 1, 2006, the Company awarded 446,410
restricted common shares at a weighted average value per share of $1.51. The vast majority of the
restricted common shares vest from two to five years from the grant date provided that performance
or market condition thresholds are met by the Company.
In November 2005, the FASB issued FSP No. 123(R)-3, Transition Election Related to Accounting for
the Tax Effects of Share-Based Payment Awards (FSP No. 123(R)-3). This pronouncement provides an
alternative method of calculating excess tax benefits available to absorb any tax deficiencies
recognized subsequent to the adoption of SFAS No. 123(R). The Company has until January 1, 2007 to
make a one-time election to adopt the transition method. The Company is currently evaluating FSP
No. 123(R)-3; however, any one-time election is not expected to materially affect operating income
or net earnings.

7. Legal Proceedings
In addition to the Companys pending dispute with the Internal Revenue Service described in Note
10, the Company is subject to occasional lawsuits, governmental investigations and claims arising
out of the normal conduct of its business. Management does not believe that the outcome of any such
pending claims or investigations will have a material adverse impact on the Companys business,
results of operations, liquidity, or financial condition, although no assurance to that effect can
be given.
8. Debt
On October 31, 2005, the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement
(the Restated Credit Agreement) with LaSalle Bank National Association (LaSalle), as agent, and the
financial institutions from time to time parties thereto as lenders. The Restated Credit Agreement
initially provided the Company with a $25 million revolving loan facility which expired in October
2008 (Revolving Loan Facility). Effective October 1, 2006, the amount of the Revolving Loan was
increased to $27.5 million pursuant to Amendment No. 4 (as described below).
11
APAC CUSTOMER SERVICES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
(Amounts in thousands, except as otherwise indicated)
The Companys ability to borrow under the Revolving Loan Facility depends on the amount of eligible
accounts receivable from its clients and there are limitations on the concentration of these
accounts with a single client. In addition, LaSalle retains certain reserves against otherwise
available borrowing capacity, including a reserve related to the Internal Revenue Services
proposed adjustment to the Companys 2002 tax return described in Note 10.
Other restrictive covenants in the Restated Credit Agreement limit the Companys ability to make
capital expenditures, incur additional indebtedness, repurchase outstanding common shares, create
liens, acquire, sell or dispose of certain assets, engage in certain mergers and acquisitions, pay
dividends and make certain restricted payments.
Borrowings under the Revolving Loan Facility incur a floating interest rate based on the LIBOR
index rate or an alternate base rate defined in the Restated Credit Agreement. Interest rates on
the Companys borrowings ranged from 7.5% to 8.5% for the thirty-nine weeks ended October 1, 2006.
The loans provided under the Restated Credit Agreement are secured principally by a grant of a
security interest in all of the Companys personal property and fixtures. In addition, the Company
pays a commitment fee on the unused portion of the Revolving Loan Facility as well as fees on
outstanding letters of credit.
On March 3, 2006, the Company and LaSalle entered into an amendment (Amendment No. 1) to the
Restated Credit Agreement. Amendment No. 1 was effective as of February 21, 2006. Under the terms
of Amendment No. 1, LaSalle agreed to relieve the Company of its obligation to comply with the
excess availability covenant in the Restated Credit Agreement through April 30, 2006. This covenant
reduced the Companys borrowing capacity pending achievement of first quarter operating results.
Subsequently, the Company successfully met the requirements set forth in the Restated Credit
Agreement, and the excess availability requirement no longer applies.
On April 25, 2006, the Company and LaSalle entered into a second amendment (Amendment No. 2) to the
Restated Credit Agreement. Amendment No. 2 was effective as of April 2, 2006. Under the terms of
Amendment No. 2, LaSalle agreed to amend certain financial covenants related to capital
expenditures. The amendment clarified that the Companys fixed charge coverage covenant calculation
would not be impacted by the amount of the leasehold improvement allowance provided to the Company
by its landlord for its Green Bay facility.
On June 6, 2006, the Company and LaSalle entered into a third amendment (Amendment No. 3) to the
Restated Credit Agreement. Amendment No. 3 was effective as of June 2, 2006. Under the terms of
Amendment No. 3 LaSalle agreed to amend certain financial covenants, including the indebtedness,
interest coverage, minimum free cash flow, maximum restructuring charge and fixed charge coverage
covenants, and to increase the concentration of eligible accounts for certain account debtors. The
amendment reduced the thresholds for compliance with certain financial covenants and provided
increased borrowing availability against certain accounts receivable.
On October 25, 2006, the Company and LaSalle entered into a fourth amendment (Amendment No. 4) to
the Restated Credit Agreement. Amendment No. 4 was effective as of October 1, 2006. Under the
terms of Amendment No. 4 LaSalle agreed to increase the maximum amount which could be borrowed
under the Revolving Loan Facility from $25 million to $27.5 million, amend the definitions of
capital expenditures, EBITDA and special litigation reserve, amend certain financial covenants,
including tangible net worth, maximum cash restructuring charge and fixed charge coverage
covenants, and to eliminate the interest coverage covenant. The amendment reduced the thresholds
for compliance with certain financial covenants and increased the maximum amount that could be
borrowed under the Revolving Loan Facility.
Borrowings under the Restated Credit Agreement totaled $10.2 million and $12.0 million as of
October 1, 2006 and January 1, 2006, respectively. The Company had $4.3 million of unused borrowing
capacity as of October 1, 2006. The Company was in compliance with its financial covenants as of
October 1, 2006.
See also Note 13 for a description of further amendments to the Restated Credit Agreement that were
effective November 10, 2006.

9. Restructuring and Other Charges/Asset Impairment Charges
Restructuring and other charges were $2.3 million for the quarter ended October 1, 2006 compared to
charges of $2.1 million in the comparable prior year quarter. During the quarter ended October 1,
2006 we closed three customer care centers with approximately 700
workstations. Notice of the center closures was announced during the second quarter of 2006. Restructuring and other charges resulting from
the closure of these customer care centers were $1.4 million. This was comprised of lease
termination and other costs of $0.7 million, the write-down of property and equipment of $0.3
million net of reductions from the sale of related assets, and severance costs of $0.4 million
related to the elimination of 69 administrative and support positions. The Company also recorded
additional charges of $0.9 million related to the 2005 restructuring as a result of delays in
subletting space in its corporate office. Cash payments totaling $0.3 million have been made
through October 1, 2006 and the remaining cash charges, primarily related to lease termination
costs are payable through 2008.
Restructuring
and other charges were $2.1 million for the quarter ended
October 2, 2005 which included $1.7 million related to
the closure of five customer care centers and the elimination of
certain positions and $0.4 million of other charges. The
restructuring charges of $1.7 million include severance and other costs of $1.2 million primarily
related to the elimination of approximately 150 administrative and support positions and $0.5
million for the write-down of property and lease termination and
other costs. Cash payments totaling
$1.4 million have been paid through October 1, 2006 and the remaining cash charges are payable
through 2008.
The Company recorded $10.8 million of asset impairment charges in the quarter ended October 2, 2005
including a write-down of goodwill of $10.5 million as previously discussed in Note 4.
Restructuring and other charges were $2.7 million for the thirty-nine weeks ended October 1, 2006.
The Company closed four customer
care centers with approximately 960 workstations. Notice of the
center closures was announced during the second quarter of 2006. One
center was closed in the second quarter of 2006
and the remaining three centers were closed during the third quarter of 2006. Restructuring and
other charges resulting from the closures of the customer care centers were $2.1 million. This was
comprised of lease termination and other costs of $1.1 million, the write down of property and
equipment of $0.5 million net of reductions from the sale of related assets, and severance costs of
$0.5 million related to the elimination of 119 administrative and support positions. The Company
also recorded additional charges of $0.9 million related to the 2005 restructuring as a result of
delays in subletting space in its corporate office, which charges were partially offset by a
reversal of $0.3 million of 2005 restructuring severance charges. Cash payments totaling $0.5
million have been made through October 1, 2006 and the remaining cash charges, primarily related to
lease termination costs are payable through 2008.
For the thirty-nine weeks ended October 2, 2005, the Company recorded restructuring and other
charges of $3.2 million which included $2.7 million of restructuring charges and $0.5 million of
other charges. The restructuring charges related to the closure of seven customer care centers and
the elimination of certain positions. These charges included severance costs of $2.1 million
related to the elimination of 200 administrative and support
positions and $0.6 million for the write
down of property and lease termination and other costs. Cash payments totaling $2.1 million have
been made through October 1, 2006 and the remaining cash charges are payable through 2008.

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 Companys deferred tax assets are $24.8 million as
of October 1, 2006, of which $14.1 million relates to net operating losses incurred over the
previous three years. The net operating loss carryforwards expire over the next 17 to 20 years.
The Company will need to generate taxable income of approximately $56 million to realize the full
benefit of the deferred tax assets.
As of October 1, 2006 the Company is in a cumulative loss position for the prior twelve quarters.
This was primarily the result of losses incurred with the exited
outbound telemarketing business. In July 2005,
the Company announced a strategic restructuring to exit virtually all of the outbound telemarketing
business, restructure operations, and focus primarily on profitable client relationships in a
limited number of key industries. Since its restructuring, the Company has experienced earnings
growth from its core business, new and increased commitments from existing clients, growth in
higher margin offshore business, and reductions in operating expenses. These factors are expected
to contribute to the Companys return to profitability for 2007 and future periods. Forecasted
taxable income for the next three years based solely on contracts in place or expected to be in
place by year end and the existing cost structure exceeds the amount necessary to fully realize the
net deferred tax asset. Management of the Company believes that this projection, combined with
the completed restructuring in regards to both exiting the outbound telemarketing business and
increasing its operations overseas, provides positive evidence that outweighs the negative evidence
of cumulative losses in recent years and, therefore, supports its conclusion that it is more likely
than not that the deferred tax asset will be realized. Accordingly, no valuation allowance has
been established. In the future, should actual results, forecasted earnings or other factors change
substantially from those used as a basis for the Companys
assumptions, it may be necessary for the Company to
record a valuation allowance.
The Company records a reserve for tax contingencies when management believes it is more likely than
not that the deductions giving rise to these contingencies will not be sustained. The Companys
effective income tax rate is 35.3% and 21.5% for the thirty-nine weeks ended October 1, 2006 and
October 2, 2005, respectively.

APAC CUSTOMER SERVICES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
(Amounts in thousands, except as otherwise indicated)
In October 2003, the Company received an $11.6 million cash tax refund as a result of carrying back
against prior years taxable income a $48.1 million loss reported on its 2002 tax return. This loss
resulted from the Company taking a $59.9 million deduction to write-off, for tax purposes, its
remaining investment in ITI Holdings, Inc. (ITI) (for book purposes the Company recorded
appropriate impairment charges related to ITI in previous fiscal years). The total combined
liquidity benefit to the Company from this deduction could be as much as $20.9 million, which
includes the $11.6 million cash tax refund already received, $3.3 million of cash tax savings
related to the 2002 tax year and the release of $6.0 million of tax credits generated and utilized
in prior years to be used in future periods.
The Internal Revenue Service has audited the Companys 2002 tax return. On September 29, 2005, a
field agent for the Internal Revenue Service issued a report which disallowed the deduction related
to the Companys investment in ITI. The Company intends to pursue its available administrative
remedies. On November 30, 2005, the Company filed a protest contesting the proposed adjustment and
requested a hearing with an Internal Revenue Service Appeals Officer. The Companys protest is
pending and at this point it is unclear as to how this issue will ultimately be resolved. The
Company has not recognized the income tax benefit related to this deduction and has previously
recorded a liability for the $11.6 million refund. The Company is required to accrue interest and
has reserved $2.6 million for the amount of interest accrued to date. Should the Company not
prevail in this matter, it may be required to repay the previously received refund of $11.6
million, as well as interest related thereto. The timing of any repayment of the previously
received refund could have a material adverse effect on the liquidity of the Company, require it to
seek additional financing to fund the repayment, and result in a default under the Restated Credit
Agreement described in Note 8.
11. Earnings Per Share
For the thirty-nine weeks ended October 1, 2006 and October 2, 2005 approximately 219,000 and
117,800 options to purchase common shares, respectively, were excluded from the computation of
diluted earnings per share because they would have been anti-dilutive. Shares outstanding at
October 1, 2006 include 446,410 restricted common shares which are subject to vesting conditions
which have not yet been met. As such they are excluded from the calculation of basic and diluted
earnings per share.
12. Reclassification
Certain amounts in the prior period financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the
current period presentation. The restructuring reserves provided for the write off of property and
leasehold improvements from the July 2005 restructuring plan outstanding as of January 1, 2006 have
been reclassified as a reduction of property and equipment.
13. Subsequent Events
Effective October 10, 2006, the Company sold its Cedar Rapids, Iowa facility in a sale-leaseback
transaction that resulted in a net gain of $0.8 million. In accordance with FASB 28 Accounting
for Sales with Leaseback the gain will be deferred and amortized over terms from six months to ten
years based on the individual lease-back agreements.
On
November 10, 2006, the Company and LaSalle entered into the
fifth amendment (Amendment No. 5) to
the Restated Credit Agreement. Under the terms of Amendment No. 5, LaSalle agreed to increase the
maximum amount that could be borrowed under the Revolving Loan Facility from $27.5 million to $30
million and to reduce certain reserve requirements under the Restated Credit Agreement through
December 31, 2006. These changes will provide the Company with additional borrowing capacity under
the Revolving Loan Facility through December 31, 2006. After giving effect to Amendment No. 5, as
of November 10, 2006, borrowings under the Revolving Loan Facility totaled $19.7 million and the
Company had $5.2 million in unused borrowing capacity. For more information regarding the terms of
the Restated Credit Agreement see Note 8 to the condensed consolidated financial statements
appearing elsewhere in this report.

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 the condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company and related
notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this report and the audited condensed consolidated financial
statements of the Company which appear in Item 8 of Part II of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for
the fiscal year ended January 1, 2006. Our managements discussion and analysis contains
forward-looking statements. See Forwarding Looking Statements and Factors That May Affect Future
Results on page 3 of this report.
Overview
We are a leading provider of customer care services and solutions to Fortune 500 companies and
other market leaders in the healthcare, communication, business services, financial services,
publishing, and travel and entertainment industries. In July 2005, we announced a strategic
restructuring to exit virtually all of the outbound telemarketing business, restructure operations,
and focus primarily on profitable client relationships in a limited number of key industries. We
have targeted primarily high growth business segments, each with critical customer care needs and
businesses with unique opportunities for outsourced customer care. Our services are highly
customized customer care services and solutions that involve communicating with customers and
managing situations that are unique to each targeted industry. We provide customized technology
applications that are scalable and provide a higher level of customer service. We also bring the
expertise to hire, train and retain skilled customer care talent. Given our Company resources and
unique position in the customer care service industry, we believe we are aligned to capitalize on
the growth in this segment.
Our services are provided through customer care centers staffed with skilled customer service
representatives in domestic, international, and client-owned locations. As of October 1, 2006, we
operated 10 customer care centers: 7 domestic centers, one domestic client-owned facility, and two
international centers located in the Philippines. The customer care centers house approximately
4,600 domestic and 1,500 international production workstations.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
For a description of our critical accounting policies and estimates see our Annual Report on Form
10-K for the fiscal year ended January 1, 2006. During the quarter ended April 2, 2006 we changed
our policy on accounting for stock-based compensation upon adopting SFAS No. 123(R), Share-Based
Payment (SFAS No. 123(R)).
Effective January 2, 2006, we adopted SFAS No. 123(R). Prior to fiscal year 2006, as permitted
under SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, we accounted for our stock
compensation plans according to Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25 Accounting for
Stock Issued to Employees, and related interpretations. We adopted the fair value recognition
provisions of SFAS No. 123(R) using the modified prospective transition method, and therefore, we
have not restated our prior period financial statements.
Under the modified prospective transition method, compensation expense is recognized for new grants
beginning this fiscal year and for any unvested grants made prior to the adoption of SFAS No.
123(R). Stock-based compensation expense for all share-based payment awards is based on the
grant-date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 123(R). Compensation
expense related to share-based awards, net of a forfeiture rate, is amortized on a straight-line
basis over the requisite employees service periods in selling, general and administrative expenses
in the condensed consolidated statements of operations in accordance with the classification of the
related employees compensation and benefits.
See Note 5 to the condensed consolidated financial statements appearing elsewhere in this report
for further information regarding the Companys accounting for stock-based compensation.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement our condensed consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP), we use the following measures
defined as non-GAAP financial measures by the SEC: EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted operating
income, free cash flow and adjusted free cash flow. 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 so in
performing a comprehensive analysis of our overall financial results.
17
We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures provide meaningful supplemental information
regarding our performance and liquidity by excluding certain expenses that may not be indicative of
our core business operating results. We believe management, investors and lenders benefit from
referring to these non-GAAP financial measures in assessing our performance and when planning,
forecasting and analyzing future periods. These non-GAAP financial measures also facilitate
internal comparisons to our historical performance and liquidity. We believe that these non-GAAP
financial measures are useful to investors in allowing for greater transparency with respect to
supplemental information used by us in our financial and operational decision making.
We expect to use consistent methods for computation of non-GAAP financial measures. Our
calculations of non-GAAP financial measures may not be consistent with calculations of similar
measures used by other companies. The accompanying tables have more details on the GAAP financial
measures that are most directly comparable to non-GAAP financial measures and the related
reconciliations between these financial measures.
Additional information on these non-GAAP financial measures can be found in Item 7 of Part II of
our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 1, 2006 which filing is available at
www.sec.gov.

Notes to Non-GAAP Financial Measures
(1) We operate on a thirteen week fiscal third quarter that ends on the Sunday closest to September
30.
(2) We define EBITDA as net income (loss) plus the provision (benefit) for income taxes,
depreciation and amortization, and interest expense. We define adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA plus
restructuring and other charges and asset impairment charges. We use EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA, in
addition to operating income and cash flows from operating activities, to assess our liquidity and
performance and believe that EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA are of interest to our investors to be able
to evaluate our financial results using the same measures we use.
EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA do not represent funds available for our discretionary use and are not
intended to represent or to be used as a substitute for net income (loss) or cash flow from
operations data as measured in accordance with GAAP. 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.
EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA can be reconciled to net income (loss), which we believe to be the most
directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP, as follows:

Notes to Non-GAAP Financial Measures (continued)
(4) We define free cash flow as EBITDA less net capital expenditures and adjusted free cash flow as
free cash flow less restructuring and other charges and asset impairment charges. We use free cash
flow and adjusted free cash flow, in addition to net cash flow provided by (used in) operating
activities, to assess our liquidity and performance and believe that free cash flow and adjusted
free cash flow are of interest to our investors in relation to our debt covenants as capital
expenditures are a significant use of our cash.
Free cash flow and adjusted free cash flow do not represent funds available for our discretionary
use and are not intended to represent or to be used as a substitute for cash flow from operating
activities as measured in accordance with GAAP. The items excluded from free cash flow and adjusted
free cash flow are significant components of our statements of operations and statements of cash
flows and must be considered in performing a comprehensive assessment of our overall financial
results.

Comparison of Results of Operations for the Quarters Ended October 1, 2006 and October 2, 2005
Net revenue was $49.3 million for the quarter ended October 1, 2006, down from $56.3 million in the
quarter ended October 2, 2005. Excluding revenue from the restructured outbound customer
acquisition business from the quarter ended October 2, 2005, revenue increased $2.0 million or 4.2%
over the prior year quarter. This increase is largely due to growth in offshore revenue from
continuing clients of 140% driven primarily by our healthcare vertical, offset by a decline in
domestic revenue primarily due to the termination of a large customer care client in the second
quarter of fiscal year 2006.
Cost of services decreased $4.9 million, or 9.5%, to $46.1 million in the quarter ended October 1,
2006, from $51.0 million in the quarter ended October 2, 2005. The decrease is due to a reduction
in call center overhead resulting from the closure of domestic customer care centers and lower
telecommunication expenses, partially offset by an increase in direct labor cost associated with
the ramp up of new domestic business, costs incurred to ramp up new offshore business, and
incremental domestic overhead costs associated with the seasonal transition of the Medicare Part D
enrollment and customer care program. As a percentage of revenue cost of services increased to
93.6% for the quarter ended October 1, 2006 from 90.5% for the quarter ended October 2, 2005.
Gross profit for the quarter ended October 1, 2006 decreased to $3.1 million from $5.4 million in
the quarter ended October 2, 2005. Gross profit margins declined to 6.4% for the quarter ended
October 1, 2006, from 9.5% for the quarter ended October 2, 2005. These decreases are due to higher
cost of services as a percent of revenue and lower domestic profit contribution due to the decline
in domestic revenue, partially offset by the benefits of higher profit contribution margins from
incremental offshore business.
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the quarter ended October 1, 2006 increased
slightly to $8.2 million from $8.1 million for the prior year comparable quarter. Actions taken
during the July 2005 restructuring resulted in a decrease in compensation and benefits expense due
to headcount reductions and lower facility expenses at our corporate office for the quarter ended
October 1, 2006. These reductions were offset by an increase in stock compensation expense related
to our adoption of SFAS No. 123 (R) and legal settlement expenses.
Restructuring and other charges were $2.3 million for the quarter ended October 1, 2006 compared to
charges of $2.1 million in the comparable prior year quarter. During the quarter ended October 1,
2006 we closed three customer care centers with approximately 700
workstations. Notice of the center closures
was announced during the second quarter of 2006. Restructuring and other charges resulting from
the closure of these customer care centers were $1.4 million. This was comprised of lease
termination and other costs of $0.7 million, the write-down of property and equipment of $0.3
million net of reductions from the sale of related assets, and severance costs of $0.4 million
related to the elimination of 69 administrative and support positions. We also recorded additional
charges of $0.9 million related to the 2005 restructuring as a result of delays in subletting space
in our corporate office. Cash payments totaling $0.3 million have been made through October 1,
2006 and the remaining cash charges, primarily related to lease
termination costs, are payable
through 2008.
Restructuring
and other charges were $2.1 million for the quarter ended
October 2, 2005 which included $1.7 million related to
the closure of five customer care centers and the elimination of
certain positions and $0.4 million of other charges. The
restructuring charges of $1.7 million include severance and other costs of $1.2 million primarily
related to the elimination of approximately 150 administrative and support positions and $0.5
million for the write-down of property and lease termination and
other costs. Cash payments totaling
$1.4 million have been paid through October 1, 2006 and the
remaining cash charges are payable
through 2008.
We recorded $10.8 million of asset impairment charges in the quarter ended October 2, 2005
including a write-down of goodwill of $10.5 million. For more information regarding the 2005
write-down of goodwill see Note 4 to the condensed consolidated financial statements appearing
elsewhere in this report.
Operating loss decreased $8.2 million from a loss of $15.5 million in the quarter ended October 2,
2005 to a loss of $7.3 million for the quarter ended October 1, 2006. As previously discussed,
third quarter 2006 results included $2.3 million in restructuring and other charges while quarterly
results for the comparable prior year period included $10.8 million of asset impairment charges and
$2.1 million of restructuring and other charges. Excluding these charges,

adjusted operating loss increased from a loss of $2.7 million in the quarter ended October 2, 2005
to a loss of $5.0 million for the quarter ended October 1, 2006 primarily due to the decline in
gross profit in the third quarter of 2006. More information concerning this non-GAAP financial
measure, including the definition of adjusted operating loss and a reconciliation of this measure
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 report.
EBITDA improved $7.6 million from a negative $11.9 million in the quarter ended October 2, 2005 to
a negative $4.3 million for the quarter ended October 1, 2006. Excluding restructuring and other
charges of $2.3 million and $2.1 million for the quarter ended October 1, 2006 and October 2, 2005
respectively, as well as the $10.8 million in asset impairment charges recorded in the comparable
prior year quarter, adjusted EBITDA decreased $2.9 million from a positive $1.0 million in the
quarter ended October 2, 2005 to a negative $1.9 million for the quarter ended October 1, 2006.
This decrease is due to the decline in gross profit in the quarter
ended October 1, 2006, combined with a
decline in other income as other income in the prior year included the gain on asset sales. More
information concerning these non-GAAP financial measures, including definitions 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 report.
Our effective income tax rate was 35.9% for the quarter ended October 1, 2006 as compared to 11.5%
for the quarter ended October 2, 2005. The increase is due to a reduction in taxable income in 2005
as a result of the permanent difference associated with the goodwill impairment recorded in 2005.
Comparison of Results of Operations for the Thirty-nine Weeks Ended October 1, 2006 and October 2,
2005
Net revenue decreased 6.6% to $168.2 million for the thirty-nine weeks ended October 1, 2006 from
$180.2 million for the thirty-nine weeks ended October 2, 2005. Excluding revenue from the
restructured outbound customer acquisition business from 2005 and 2006 results, revenue increased
$23.9 million or 16.7% in fiscal year 2006. This increase is largely due to growth in offshore
revenue from continuing clients of 157% driven primarily by our healthcare vertical, offset by a
decline in domestic revenue primarily due to the termination of a large customer care client in the
second quarter of fiscal year 2006.
Cost of services decreased $15.1 million, or 9.1%, to $150.2 million in the thirty-nine weeks ended
October 1, 2006, down from $165.3 million in the comparable period of fiscal year 2005. Cost of
services as a percentage of revenue decreased to 89.3% for the thirty-nine weeks ended October 1,
2006 from 91.7% for the thirty-nine weeks ended October 2, 2005.
The decrease is primarily due to lower
direct labor costs from offshore operations and a reduction in call center overhead resulting from
the closure of domestic customer care centers.
Gross profit for the thirty-nine weeks ended October 1, 2006 increased 21.3%, or $3.2 million, to
$18.1 million from $14.9 million in the comparable period of fiscal year 2005. Gross profit margins
increased to 10.7% for the thirty-nine weeks ended October 1, 2006, from 8.3% for the thirty-nine
weeks ended October 2, 2005. The margin improvement reflects reductions in cost of services as a
percent of revenue and the benefits of higher contribution margin from incremental offshore
business.
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the thirty-nine weeks ended October 1, 2006
decreased 10.7% to $24.2 million from $27.1 million for the thirty-nine weeks ended October 2,
2005. The decrease is due to a reduction in compensation and benefits due to headcount reductions
and lower facility expenses at our corporate office space in Deerfield, Illinois resulting from our
July 2005 restructuring plan. These reductions were partially offset by an increase in compensation
expense related to our adoption of SFAS No. 123-R, employee bonus and incentive accruals and legal
settlement expenses.
Restructuring and other charges were $2.7 million for the thirty-nine weeks ended October 1, 2006,
compared to $3.2 million for the thirty-nine weeks ended October 2, 2005. We closed four customer care centers with
approximately 960 workstations. Notice of the center closures was
announced during the second quarter of 2006. One center was closed in the second quarter of 2006 and the remaining
three centers were closed during the third quarter of 2006. Restructuring and
22
other charges resulting from the closures of the customer care centers were $2.1 million. This was
comprised of lease termination and other costs of $1.1 million, the write down of property and
equipment of $0.5 million net of reductions from the sale of related assets, and severance costs of
$0.5 million related to the elimination of 119 administrative and support positions. We also
recorded additional charges of $0.9 million related to the 2005 restructuring as a result of delays
in subletting space in our corporate office, partially offset by a reversal of $0.3 million of 2005
restructuring severance charges. Cash payments totaling $0.5 million have been made through
October 1, 2006 and the remaining cash charges, primarily related to lease termination costs are
payable through 2008.
For the thirty-nine weeks ended October 2, 2005, we recorded restructuring and other charges of
$3.2 million which included $2.7 million of restructuring charges and $0.5 million of other
charges. The restructuring charges related to the closure of seven customer care centers and the
elimination of certain positions. These charges included severance costs of $2.1 million related to
the elimination of 200 administrative and support positions and $0.6 million for the write down of
property and lease termination and other costs. Cash payments totaling $2.1 million have been made
through October 1, 2006 and the remaining cash charges are payable through 2008.
We recorded $10.9 million of asset impairment charges during the first nine months of fiscal 2005
including a write-down of goodwill of $10.5 million. For more information regarding the 2005
write-down of goodwill see Note 4 to the condensed consolidated financial statements appearing
elsewhere in this report.
Operating loss decreased $17.5 million or 66.5%, from a loss of $26.3 million in the thirty-nine
weeks ended October 2, 2005 to a loss of $8.8 million for the thirty-nine weeks ended October 1,
2006. As previously discussed, results from the thirty-nine weeks ended October 1, 2006 included
$2.7 million in restructuring and other charges while results for the comparable prior year period
included $10.9 million of asset impairment charges and $3.2 million of restructuring and other
charges. Excluding these charges, adjusted operating loss decreased from a loss of $12.2 million
in the thirty-nine weeks ended October 2, 2005 to a loss of $6.1 million in the thirty-nine weeks
ended October 1, 2006 due to improved gross profit and lower selling, general and administrative
expenses. More information concerning this non-GAAP financial measure, including the definition of
adjusted operating loss and a reconciliation of this measure 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
report.
EBITDA improved $17.0 million to a positive $0.4 million for the thirty-nine weeks ended October 1,
2006 from a negative $16.6 million in the thirty-nine weeks ended October 2, 2005. Excluding
restructuring and other charges of $2.7 million and $3.2 million for the thirty-nine weeks ended
October 1, 2006 and October 2, 2005 respectively, as well as $10.9 million in asset impairment
charges recorded in the comparable prior year, adjusted EBITDA increased $5.5 million to a positive
$3.1 million for the thirty-nine weeks ended October 1, 2006 from a negative $2.5 million in the
comparable period of fiscal year 2005. This increase is due to improvement in gross profit and
lower selling, general and administrative expenses, combined with a
decline in other income as other income in the prior year included the
gain on asset sales. More information concerning
these non-GAAP financial measures, including definitions 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 above.
Our effective income tax rate was 35.3% for the thirty-nine weeks ended October 1, 2006 as compared
to 21.5% for the thirty-nine weeks ended October 2, 2005. The increase is due to a reduction in
taxable income in 2005 as a result of the permanent difference associated with the goodwill
impairment recorded in 2005.
23
Income Tax Matters
Our deferred tax assets are $24.8 million as of October 1, 2006, of which $14.1 million relates to
net operating losses incurred over the previous three years. The net operating loss carryforwards
expire over the next 17 to 20 years. We will need to generate taxable income of approximately $56
million to realize the full benefit of the deferred tax assets. A valuation allowance is recorded
when we believe it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will
not be realized in the future.
As of October 1, 2006 we are in a cumulative loss position for the prior twelve quarters. This was
primarily the result of losses incurred with the exited outbound
telemarketing business. In July 2005, we
announced a strategic restructuring to exit virtually all of the outbound telemarketing business,
restructure operations, and focus primarily on profitable client relationships in a limited number
of key industries. Since our restructuring, we have experienced earnings growth from our core
business, new and increased commitments from existing clients, growth in higher margin offshore
business, and reductions in operating expenses. These factors are expected to contribute to our
return to profitability for 2007 and future periods. Forecasted taxable income for the next three
years based solely on contracts in place or expected to be in place by year end and the existing
cost structure exceeds the amount necessary to fully realize the net deferred tax asset. We
believe that this projection, combined with the completed restructuring in regards to both exiting
the outbound telemarketing business and increasing our operations overseas, provides positive
evidence that outweighs the negative evidence of cumulative losses in recent years and, therefore,
supports our conclusion that it is more likely than not that the deferred tax asset will be
realized. Accordingly, no valuation allowance has been established. In the future, should actual
results, forecasted earnings or other factors change substantially from those used as a basis for
our assumptions, it may be necessary to record a valuation allowance.

Net cash provided by operating activities increased $5.9 million for the thirty-nine weeks ended
October 1, 2006 as compared to the thirty-nine weeks ended October 2, 2005. The increase is due to
improved operating performance, increases in non-cash restructuring and other charges, and changes
in deferred income taxes, partially offset by decreases in asset impairment charges.
Net cash used in investing activities increased from $5.4 million for the thirty-nine weeks ended
October 2, 2005 to $6.3 million for the thirty-nine weeks ended October 1, 2006 due to the timing
of capital expenditures. Spending for the thirty-nine weeks ended October 2, 2005 primarily
included capital expenditures for our first Manila customer care center. Spending for the
thirty-nine weeks ended October 1, 2006 consisted primarily of costs related to the build-out and
relocation of our customer care center in Green Bay, Wisconsin and costs for the second Manila
customer care center.
Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities primarily relates to borrowings under our
Restated Credit Agreement.
24
Free cash flow improved substantially from a negative $22.6 million for the thirty-nine weeks ended
October 2, 2005 to a negative $5.9 million for the thirty-nine weeks ended October 1, 2006. This
improvement is primarily due to reductions in asset impairment charges recorded in the comparable
prior year, improved operating performance driven by reductions in call center overhead, lower
compensation and benefits expenses and lower facility costs resulting from our July 2005
restructuring plan. Adjusted free cash flow improved to a negative $3.2 million for the thirty-nine
weeks ended October 1, 2006 from a negative $8.5 million for the comparable period of fiscal year
2005 for the same reasons. More information concerning these non-GAAP financial measures, including
definitions of free cash flow and adjusted free cash flow 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 report.
We are party to a Restated Credit Agreement with LaSalle the terms of which are more fully
described in Notes 8 and 13 to the condensed consolidated financial statements appearing elsewhere
in this report. As the result of Amendment No. 5 which was
effective on November 10, 2006, the Restated Credit Agreement
currently provides for a $30 million Revolving Loan Facility.
Borrowings under the Revolving Loan Facility totaled $10.2 million and $12.0 million as of
October 1, 2006 and January 1, 2006, respectively. We had $4.3 million of unused borrowing capacity under
the Revolving Loan Facility as of October 1, 2006. We were in compliance with our financial
covenants under the Restated Credit Agreement as of October 1,
2006. After giving effect to Amendment No. 5, as of
November 10, 2006, borrowings under the Revolving Loan Facility
totaled $19.7 million and we had $5.2 million in unused
borrowing capacity.
Our cash flow is significantly impacted by our ability to collect our clients accounts receivable
on a timely basis and our borrowing capacity under the Revolving Loan Facility depends on the
amount of our eligible accounts receivable from our clients. To the extent that our business with
a single client or small group of clients represents a more significant portion of our revenue, a
delay in receiving payment could materially adversely affect our ability to fund operations.
Additionally, a decline in our outstanding accounts receivable reduces our available borrowing
capacity under the Revolving Loan Facility.
We currently expect that our cash balances, cash flow from operations and available borrowings
under the Revolving Loan Facility will be sufficient to meet projected operating needs and repay
debt obligations as they come due. In order to fund our anticipated growth, we are pursuing an
additional $15 million in long-term debt. We currently expect to close this term loan transaction
during the fourth quarter of 2006.
A significant change in our operating cash flow, a failure to successfully complete our business
turnaround or an adverse outcome in our pending dispute with the Internal Revenue Service described
in Note 10 to the condensed consolidated financial statements appearing elsewhere in this report
could have a material adverse effect on our liquidity and our ability to comply with the covenants
in the Restated Credit Agreement. Additionally, if we are unable to
complete the $15 million term loan
transaction in a timely fashion, our ability to fund future capital expenditures may be adversely
impacted and our ability to make these capital expenditures will be dependant on LaSalles
continued willingness to provide additional relief from complying with the current terms of the
Restated Credit Agreement. While LaSalle has been flexible and accommodating in providing
amendments and waivers during the last twelve months, there can be no assurance that LaSalle will
continue to provide such relief or under what conditions they will do so.
25
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. From time to time, we have entered into derivative transactions
in order to minimize our interest rate risks, but not for trading purposes. We do not have any
derivative agreements related to our interest rate risk or foreign currency exchange risk as of
October 1, 2006.
We prepared a sensitivity analysis of our average debt for the quarter ended October 1, 2006,
assuming a one-percentage point adverse change in interest rates. Holding all other variables
constant, the hypothetical adverse change would not significantly increase interest expense. The
sensitivity analysis assumes no changes in our financial structure.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal
executive officer and principal financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness
of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act)), as of the end of the period
covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based on such evaluation, our principal executive
officer and our principal financial officer have concluded that, as of the end of such period, our
disclosure controls and procedures are effective in recording, processing, summarizing and
reporting, on a timely basis, information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we
file or submit under the Exchange Act.
Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There have not been changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is
defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the quarter ended October
1, 2006 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal
control over financial reporting.
Inherent Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls
Our management, including our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer, does
not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial
reporting will prevent or detect all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well
conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of
the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that
there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their
costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can
provide absolute assurance that misstatements due to error or fraud will not occur or that all
control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within our Company have been detected.
These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty
and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Controls can also be circumvented
by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management
override of the controls. The design of any system of controls is based in part on certain
assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design
will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Projections of
any controls effectiveness in future periods are subject to risks. Over time, controls may become
inadequate because of changes in conditions or deterioration in the degree of compliance with
policies or procedures.

Part II. Other Information
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 1, 2006.
There have been no material changes to these risk factors during the quarter ended October 1, 2006.
Item 5.
Other Information
On
November 10, 2006, the Company and LaSalle entered into the
fifth amendment (Amendment No. 5) to
the Restated Credit Agreement. Under the terms of Amendment No. 5, LaSalle agreed to increase the
maximum amount that could be borrowed under the Revolving Loan Facility from $27.5 million to $30
million and to reduce certain reserve requirements under the Restated Credit Agreement through
December 31, 2006. These changes will provide the Company with additional borrowing capacity under
the Revolving Loan Facility through December 31, 2006. After giving effect to Amendment No. 5, as
of November 10, 2006, borrowings under the Revolving Loan Facility totaled $19.7 million and the
Company had $5.2 million in unused borrowing capacity. For more information regarding the terms of
the Restated Credit Agreement see Note 8 to the condensed consolidated financial statements
appearing elsewhere in this report. Amendment No. 5 is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.2 and is
hereby incorporated by reference.
