1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. These financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring entries, except as noted) which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for fair presentation. Operating results during the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, are not necessarily indicative of operating results that may be expected during any other interim period of 2012 or the year ending December 31, 2012.

Effective January 1, 2012, we revised our business segments in order to better align them with our strategic approach to the markets and customers we serve. Refer to Note 3, “Segment Information,” for further information. Prior period segment amounts throughout the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been reclassified to the new segment structure. The reclassification of historical business segment information had no impact on our basic financial statements.

The consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2011 was derived from audited financial statements at that date, but does not include all information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the StarTek, Inc. Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011.

Certain reclassifications have been made to 2011 information to conform to the 2012 presentation. Refer to Note 2, “Reclassifications,” for further information.

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

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued two Accounting Standard Updates (“ASUs”), which amend guidance for the presentation of comprehensive income. The amended guidance requires an entity to present components of net income and other comprehensive income in one continuous statement, referred to as the statement of comprehensive income, or in two separate, but consecutive statements. The current option to report other comprehensive income and its components in the statement of stockholders’ equity has been eliminated. Although the new guidance changes the presentation of comprehensive income, there are no changes to the components that are recognized in net income or other comprehensive income under existing guidance. We adopted these ASUs using one continuous statement in the first half of 2012 for all periods presented.
