1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION


     Premiere Global Services, Inc., or PGi, is a global leader in virtual meetings. For 20 years, we have innovated technologies that help people meet and collaborate in more enjoyable and productive ways. PGi has a global presence in 24 countries in our three segments in North America, Europe and Asia Pacific.


     Our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related footnotes have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, or GAAP, for interim financial information and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. We believe that these condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) necessary to fairly present the results for interim periods shown. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Our results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 are not indicative of the results that may be expected for the full fiscal year of 2011 or for any other interim period. The financial information presented herein should be read in conjunction with our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010, which includes information and disclosures not included in this quarterly report.


     Unless otherwise stated, current and prior period results in our condensed consolidated statements of operations and cash flows and these notes reflect our results from continuing operations and exclude the effect of discontinued operations. See Note 4.
