NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)
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 months ended March 31, 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.
Certain reclassifications have been made to the 2008 financial statements in order to conform to
the 2009 financial statement presentation. See Note 9, Segment Reporting, for a discussion of
reclassifications associated with the Companys presentation of reportable operating segments.
Note 2 Comprehensive Income
Comprehensive income is defined as net income and all non-ownership changes in shareholders
equity. For the Company, comprehensive income for the periods presented consists of net income, the
foreign currency translation adjustment and the net unrealized gain (loss) on derivative
instruments. A summary of comprehensive income for the periods presented is as follows:

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 March 31, 2009 and 2008,
2,179,100 and 1,430,700 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.

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. The Company has attempted to implement certain software over
the last two years that was not fully implemented due to problems with the functionality of the
software. The Company determined that the software purchased does not provide the functionality
promised and required. The vendor has agreed to replace the software with another product that will
provide the necessary functionality without additional cost to the Company. Based upon this
evaluation, the Company does not believe this asset is impaired.

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 provided at closing. As of March 31, 2009,
$375,000 had been released from escrow and paid to the selling shareholders. This additional amount
is being recorded as goodwill as it is earned.
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 Companys 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 is included in other income
in the Consolidated Statement 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 acquisitions of Onvaio, SQM and the disposition of ANE
are not materially different than reported results and 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 $314,000 and $243,000 related to outstanding
options during the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. At March 31, 2009 and
2008, there was approximately $2,842,000 and $2,880,000, respectively, of unrecognized compensation
expense related to stock options. Unrecognized compensation expense at March 31, 2009 is expected
to be recognized over a weighted-average period of approximately three 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.
There were no options granted during the three months ended March 31, 2009. The following
assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of options granted for the three months ended
March 31, 2008:

Restricted Common Stock
Compensation expense related to all restricted stock under all plans is recorded on a straight-line
basis over the vesting period. The Company recorded compensation expense of approximately $224,000
and $376,000 related to outstanding shares of restricted stock under all plans for the three months
ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. Compensation expense for the three months ended March
31, 2008, includes $198,000 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 was $3.76
and $8.42 for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, 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.
At March 31, 2009 and 2008, there was approximately $2,466,000 and $2,354,000, respectively, of
total unrecognized compensation expense related to nonvested shares of restricted stock.
Unrecognized compensation
expense at March 31, 2009 is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of three
years.

Note 8 Income Taxes
At March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, the Company had an unrecognized tax benefit of
approximately $107,000. 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 months ended March 31, 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 March 31, 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 (IRS) 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.

For the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, the consolidated effective tax rates of 40.9%
and 39.8%, respectively, differs from the statutory tax rate of 34% primarily due to state income
taxes, foreign operating losses for which a tax benefit is not recorded, and nondeductible
expenses.

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, which is comprised of the
President and Chief Executive Officer, the Chief Financial Officer, the lead executives of the
Americas, Europe and TechTeam Government Solutions, the Vice President of Service Delivery, Chief
Information Officer, General Counsel and the Vice Presidents of Human Resources in the Americas and
Europe. The operating segments are managed separately because each operating segment represents a
strategic business unit that 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.
During 2009, the Company reclassified certain expenses between Cost of revenue and Selling, general
and administrative expense which allows the Company to track more appropriately how the services
are managed. The 2008 results have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.
Financial information for the Companys operating segments is as follows:

Note 11 Financial Instruments Measured at Fair Value
On January 1, 2009, the Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements
(SFAS 157) related to nonfinancial assets and liabilities on a prospective basis. SFAS 157
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 SFAS 157 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 SFAS 157 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 bases used to measure certain financial assets and financial
liabilities at fair value on a recurring basis in the balance sheet:

Interest rate swap derivative financial instrument |

|
NA |
On January 1, 2009, the Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 161, Disclosures about
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 133 (FAS 161).
The provisions of FAS 161 amend and expand 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 are accounted for
under FAS 133 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 the provisions of FAS 161 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 ended March 31, 2009, losses recognized in other comprehensive income on
derivatives were $74,000 and losses reclassified from other comprehensive income into interest
expense upon settlement amounted to $220,000.

ITEM 2 MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Overview
We are a global provider of information technology (IT), enterprise support and business process
outsourcing services to Fortune 1000 companies, government entities, multinational companies,
product and service providers, and small and medium-sized companies. 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.
The current global economic downturn continues to present substantial uncertainties to TechTeam and
its customers, especially to our customers in the automotive and retail industries. As a result of
our customers response to economic conditions, we have seen revenue erosion in many of our
commercial contracts due to reduced customer needs.
As we can neither fully anticipate the duration and scope of the downturn nor the extent of the
revenue erosion, we remain focused on strong execution. We are actively adjusting our operational
performance to protect and improve our gross margin. We have successfully launched service delivery
for Ford Motor Company in the Philippines. Further, we continue to manage our SG&A costs
internally. We have also implemented a capital management program to better evaluate and manage
difficult customer accounts, collect outstanding accounts receivable and manage our bank debt.
We anticipate that more of our current customers will pursue cost reductions by taking existing
business to our offshore delivery locations. While we have seen an increase in opportunities for
new contracts in our commercial business due to our ability to save our customers money, the sales
cycle is lengthening as potential customers are taking longer to make decisions. On the other hand,
we continue to successfully increase the scope of work we perform for many of our current
customers.
Despite the difficult economic environment, TechTeam delivered solid results in the period. For the
first quarter of 2009, the Company reported earnings of $0.16 per diluted share consistent with
diluted earnings per share in the same period in 2008.

Total Company revenue decreased $9.9 million, or 14.9%, to $56.1 million in the first quarter of
2009 from the first quarter of 2008. The revenue decrease was across all segments and was driven
primarily by an approximate $4.0 million impact of exchange rates on revenue in Europe, the
conclusion of two customer contracts in our IT Outsourcing Services segment and $2.1 million lower
revenues resulting from the divestiture of ANE on October 31, 2008. 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 quarter of
2008. We are unable to predict the effect fluctuations in international currencies will have on
revenue in 2009, but given the uncertain market environment and the effect on the U.S. dollar,
there could be significant 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 $4.1 million, or 6.5%, to $59.7 million for the first quarter of 2009 from $63.8
million in the first quarter of 2008.

IT Outsourcing Services
Revenue from IT Outsourcing Services decreased $2.5 million, or 8.4%, to $27.7 million in the first
quarter of 2009, from $30.3 million in the first quarter of 2008. The revenue decrease was
primarily a result of the impact of exchange rates on revenue, the conclusion of two customer
contracts in Europe and lower revenue from Ford partially offset by an increase in revenue in the
Americas from new customer contracts added in the later part of 2008. The foreign currency impact
approximated $2.9 million and was calculated as if IT Outsourcing revenue in Europe was translated
into U.S. dollars at the average exchange rates in effect during the first quarter of 2008.
IT Outsourcing Services revenue generated from Ford globally decreased $1.5 million, or 16.4%, to
$7.8 million in the first quarter of 2009 compared to $9.3 million in 2008. Revenue from Ford
declined 11.8% in the Americas and 21.3% in Europe as a result of a decline in seats supported from
a reduction in Fords workforce, the impact of exchange rates and the lower price in the contract
renewal. Please refer to our discussion of Ford in the Significant Customers section of MD&A.
IT Consulting and Systems Integration
Revenue from IT Consulting and Systems Integration decreased $3.0 million, or 43.2%, to $3.9
million in the first quarter of 2009, from $6.9 million 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 in our business with Dell
through Ford, which resulted from the winding down of the contract and a reduction in Fords
workforce. Excluding revenue from the divestiture of ANE, IT Consulting and Systems Integration
revenue decreased $900,000, or 19.5%, to $3.9 million in the first quarter of 2009 from $4.8
million in the first quarter of 2008.
Government Technology Services
Revenue from Government Technology Services decreased $1.8 million, or 8.3%, to $20.2 million in
the first 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 $850,000, or 5.8%, to $13.9 million in the first quarter of 2009 from $14.8
million in the first quarter of 2008. In contrast, gross margin improved to 24.8% for first quarter
2009 from 22.4% for first quarter 2008. The decrease in gross profit was driven mainly by lower
revenue. The acquisition of Onvaio and the divestiture of ANE had a slight impact on the first
quarter 2009 gross profit and gross margin. Excluding gross profit contributed by the acquisition
of Onvaio and the divestiture of ANE, total gross profit decreased $800,000, or 5.5%, and gross
margin increased to 24.6% in the first quarter of 2009 from 22.7% for the same period in 2008. The
improvement in gross margin was driven by new customer contracts, elimination of lower margin
projects, successful execution of restructurings announced and completed in 2008 and operational
efficiencies.
IT Outsourcing Services
Gross profit from IT Outsourcing Services increased 2.0% to $6.5 million in the first quarter of
2009, from $6.3 million in 2008, and gross margin increased to 23.3% from 20.9%. In both the
Americas and Europe, gross margin improved primarily due to operational improvements on certain
existing accounts. Gross profit margin in the Americas was also positively impacted by new customer
contracts added in the later part of 2008 and the acquisition of Onvaio.
IT Consulting and Systems Integration
Gross profit from IT Consulting and Systems Integration decreased 32.5% to $936,000 in the first
quarter of 2009 from $1.4 million in 2008, while gross margin increased to 24.0% from 20.2% in
2008. Gross profit 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 margin increased due to the divestiture of lower margin projects at ANE, the loss of less
profitable projects in our application development business in Romania and improved margins on the
hospitality business in the U.S.
Government Technology Services
Gross profit from our Government Technology Services segment remained consistent at $5.4 million in
the first quarter of 2009 and $5.5 million in 2008, and gross margin increased to 26.9% from 25.0%.
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 $205,000, or 1.1%, to $18.0 million in the first
quarter of 2009, from $18.2 million 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 a decrease in business with Dell. The Other Services segment also experienced a
decrease in revenue in technical staffing projects due primarily to the loss of lower margin work.
Gross margin from the Americas remained consistent at 18.4% for the first quarter of 2009 and 2008.
Europe
Revenue generated in Europe decreased $7.8 million, or 30.5%, to $17.9 million in the first quarter
of 2009 from $25.7 million in 2008, due to the impact of exchange rates on revenue, the conclusion
of two customer contracts in the IT Outsourcing segment, the divestiture of ANE and a decrease in
our staffing business at SQM. The foreign currency impact approximated $4.0 million and was
calculated as if revenue in Europe in first quarter of 2009 were translated into U.S. dollars at
the average exchange rates in effect during the first quarter of 2008. Excluding the impact of
exchange rates on revenue and the divestiture of ANE, revenue decreased approximately $1.7 million,
or 7.3%, to $21.8 million for the first quarter of 2009 from $23.6 million in the first quarter of
2008. Gross margin from Europe increased to 25.4% in the first quarter of 2009, from 23.2% in 2008,
primarily due to divesting of certain lower margin IT consulting and systems integration projects
at ANE and throughout Europe.

Selling, general, and administrative (SG&A) expense decreased $1.1 million, or 9.8%, to $10.6
million in the first quarter of 2009 from $11.7 million in the first quarter of 2008. The decrease
resulted primarily from a reduction of payroll related costs driven by lower administrative
headcount and the restructuring actions taken in 2008. SG&A expense increased to 18.9% of total
revenue in the first quarter of 2009, from 17.8% of total revenue in 2008 due to a number of items,
all individually insignificant.
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 $198,000 in the first
quarter of 2008.
19
Net interest expense was $311,000 in the first quarter of 2009, compared to $444,000 in 2008, as a
result of lower expense on lower average outstanding long-term debt and lower interest income from
lower average invested cash equivalents and lower interest rates.
For the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, the consolidated effective tax rate of 40.9%
and 39.8%, respectively, differs from the statutory tax rate of 34% primarily due to state income
taxes, foreign operating losses for which a tax benefit is not recorded, and nondeductible
expenses.
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. Ford accounted for 15.8% and
16.6% of our total revenue in the first quarter of 2009 and 2008, respectively. The U.S. Federal
Government accounted for 32.8% and 30.1% of our total revenue in the first quarter of 2009 and
2008, respectively. Agencies within the U.S. Department of Defense in the aggregate comprised
approximately 19.9% and 18.9% of our total revenue in the first quarter of 2009 and 2008,
respectively.
Ford Motor Company
Our business with Ford consists of service desk and desk side services, technical staffing and
network management. Revenue generated through our business with Ford decreased to $8.9 million in
the first quarter of 2009 from $11.0 million in the first quarter of 2008.
On December 23, 2008, TechTeam Global, Inc. (TechTeam) executed a three-year renewal of its
Global Single Point of Contact (SPOC) contract with Ford Motor Company (Ford), under which
TechTeam provides support services to Fords information technology infrastructure. Under the SPOC
contract, TechTeam will continue to provide 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, which will reduce the number of visits necessary to support the deskside. We anticipate
this transition to be completed around the middle of 2009.
As a result of the changes in the delivery model, we anticipate lower revenues under the renewed
contract of approximately $2.7 million in 2009, due to our delivery from lower cost locations. At
this time, we do not anticipate a material change in the Companys overall gross profit margin as a
result of the renewal. While there is revenue pressure from the decrease in the number of seats
supported and from Fords continued efforts to seek cost savings on its total cost of IT
infrastructure support, we are working to offset the anticipated decrease in revenue through a
lower cost delivery model and an expansion of the SPOC Program.
Ford has announced its willingness to sell Volvo Car Corporation. It is possible that Ford may sell
Volvo or otherwise allow Volvo to withdraw from the SPOC contract. However, the Company does not
anticipate this will have a significant impact 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.
20
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 $18.4 million in the first quarter of 2009, from $19.9 million 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 faced. As a result of this
environment, many customers have delayed procurement actions. In turn, we have experienced delays
in our expected new business development. We have been informed that we were not selected as prime
contractor for the Business Transformation Agency (BTA) of the Department of Defense. For the
quarters ending March 31, 2009 and 2008 we earned $1.4 million and $2.7 million in revenue from the
BTA, respectively. The direct impact of this loss is difficult to assess at this time because we
believe that we can replace a significant portion of this revenue by performing the same services
for the BTA as a subcontractor to winning bidders. However, there can be no assurances in this
regard.
In 2009, we have a few significant contracts that may be re-competed, including our contract for
the Air National Guard and CIO-SPII a government-wide acquisition contract (GWAC) under which the
Company performs services to the National Institutes of Health, which may impact our ability to do
business with the National Institutes of Health in the future.
New Accounting Pronouncements
On January 1, 2009, the Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements
(SFAS 157) related to nonfinancial assets and liabilities on a prospective basis. SFAS 157
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 SFAS 157 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 FAS 157 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 SFAS No. 161, Disclosures about
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 133 (FAS 161).
The provisions of FAS 161 amend and expand 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 are accounted for
under FAS 133 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 the provisions of FAS 161 requires prospective disclosures and accordingly did not
affect the Companys historical consolidated financial statements. For more information, see Note
11, Financial Instruments Measured at Fair Value.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash and cash equivalents were $19.9 million at March 31, 2009, as compared to $16.9 million at
December 31, 2008. Cash and cash equivalents increased $3.0 million in the first quarter of 2009 as
a result of $7.2 million in cash provided by operations. These cash proceeds were partially offset
by $3.2 million in payments to reduce long-term debt and $671,000 in cash used for capital
expenditures.
Net cash from operating activities for the first quarter of 2009 provided cash of $7.2 million
compared to $2.9 million used in the first quarter of 2008. Net cash provided by operating
activities was primarily due to a non-cash working capital increase of $10.4 million largely from
decreases in accounts receivable resulting from lower revenue and improved collection efforts and
accrued expenses due mainly to the payment of prior year incentive compensation in the first
quarter of 2009.
Net cash used in investing activities was $797,000 and $1.4 million for the first quarter of 2009
and 2008, respectively. Net cash used in investing activities during 2009 and 2008 were used to
purchase equipment and software and to make payments to the selling shareholders of prior
acquisitions for achieving financial performance targets. Capital expenditures were $671,000 and
$755,000, respectively, for the first quarter of 2009 and 2008. The lower spending in 2009 was
driven by the timing of expenditures.
Net cash used in financing activities was $3.2 million and $571,000 for the first quarter 2009 and
2008, respectively. The increase in net cash used in financing activities in first quarter 2009 was
primarily due to a higher pay down of debt.
Long-term cash requirements, other than for normal operating expenses, are anticipated for the
continued expansion in Europe and the Asia-Pacific region, 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 agreement, 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.

ITEM 4 CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As of March 31, 2009, our management, with the participation of our chief executive officer and
chief financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure
controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act). Based
on this evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that, as of
March 31, 2009, our disclosure controls and procedures were (1) designed to ensure that material
information relating to us, including our consolidated subsidiaries, is made known to our chief
executive officer and chief financial officer by others within those entities, particularly during
the period in which this report was being prepared and (2) effective, in that they provide
reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or
submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time
periods specified in the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commissions rules and forms.
It should be noted that any system of controls, however well designed and operated, can provide
only reasonable, and not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the system will be met. In
addition, the design of any control system is based in part upon certain assumptions about the
likelihood of certain events. Because of these and other inherent limitations of control systems,
there is only reasonable assurance that our controls will succeed in achieving their goals under
all potential future conditions.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
No change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and
15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) occurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2009, that has
materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over
financial reporting.

ITEM 5 OTHER INFORMATION
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 US 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.
