NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Six months ended June 30, 1998 and June 30, 1999
(Unaudited)
Sykes Enterprises, Incorporated and consolidated subsidiaries (the "Company")
provides integrated information technology outsourcing services including
information technology support services, information technology development
services and solutions, on-line clinical managed care services, medical protocol
products, employee benefit administration and support services, and customer
product services. The Company's services are provided to a wide variety of
industries.
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim
financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they
do not include all of the information and notes required by generally accepted
accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of
management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered
necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the
six and three-month periods ended June 30, 1999 are not necessarily indicative
of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 1999. For
further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and notes
thereto as of and for the year ended December 31, 1998 included in the Company's
Form 10-K dated December 31, 1998 as filed with the United States Securities and
Exchange Commission ("SEC") on March 29, 1999.
Note 1 - Acquisitions and Mergers
Effective September 1, 1998 the Company acquired the remaining 50% of
outstanding common stock of SHPS, Incorporated ("SHPS") (formally known as Sykes
HealthPlan Services, Inc.) for approximately $28.1 million plus the assumption
of SHPS' debt. This purchase price was primarily financed through borrowings
under the Company's credit facility.
This acquisition was accounted for utilizing the purchase method of accounting
and accordingly, SHPS' results of operations for the six and three months ended
June 30, 1999 have been included in the accompanying financial statements. The
purchase price has been allocated to the assets and liabilities of SHPS based
upon fair values at the date of acquisition. The allocations were based on
appraisals, evaluations, estimations and other studies.
The Company adjusted the amounts originally allocated to net loss from joint
venture to reflect the methodology set forth in the September 15, 1998 letter
from the SEC Staff to the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants
("AICPA"). The letter sets forth the SEC's views regarding the valuation
methodology to be used in allocating a portion of the purchase price to acquired
in-process research and development at the date of acquisition. As a result of
the revised valuation, the Company's financial statements for the six months
ended June 30, 1998 have been restated to reduce the amount of acquired
in-process research and development charges incurred by SHPS and the resulting
impact on the Company's proportionate share of the adjustment.
On November 27, 1998, the Company acquired all of the stock of TAS GmbH Nord
Telemarketing und Vertriebsberatung ("TAS III") of Hannover, Germany, in
exchange for

587,000 shares of the Company's common stock. The Company accounted for the
acquisition utilizing the pooling-of-interests method of accounting. TAS III
provides technical call center support and customer care services, database
development and consulting services to customers in Germany.
On December 29, 1998, the Company acquired all of the stock of Oracle Service
Networks Corporation ("Oracle") in exchange for 1,475,000 shares of the
Company's common stock. The Company accounted for the acquisition utilizing the
pooling-of-interests method of accounting. Oracle provides call center support
and customer care services to various customers in North America, as well as
demand management services for the Canadian provincial health care system.
The above transactions, excluding SHPS, have been accounted for as
pooling-of-interests and, accordingly, the consolidated financial statements for
the periods presented have been restated to include the accounts of TAS III and
Oracle. Separate results of operations for the period prior to the mergers with
TAS III and Oracle are outlined below.

Item 2 - Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations
The following should be read in conjunction with the Sykes Enterprises,
Incorporated (the "Company") December 31, 1998 Consolidated Financial
Statements, including the notes thereto. The following discussion and analysis
contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Future
events and the Company's actual results could differ materially from the results
reflected in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain of the
factors set forth below and elsewhere in this analysis.
Financial Condition
The Company's primary sources of liquidity are equity offerings, cash flows from
operations and available borrowings under its credit facility. The Company has
utilized these sources to make additional capital expenditures associated
primarily with its technical support services, to repay debt associated with
entities it has acquired subsequent to the public offerings, and for working
capital and general corporate purposes. In addition, the Company intends future
uses of its sources of liquidity to include the aforementioned and possible
additional acquisitions. The Company invests any excess funds in short-term,
investment-grade securities or money market instruments.
During the six-month period ended June 30, 1999, the Company generated
approximately $28.4 million in cash from operations. The Company utilized these
funds and certain of its available cash and credit facility to fund $3.2 million
of debt repayment, net of additional borrowings, and $30.9 million of capital
expenditures. The debt repayments were associated with assumed debt levels
resulting from an acquisition the Company completed during 1998. The capital
expenditures were predominately the result of the Company's continued expansion,
both domestically and internationally, in providing technical product support
services. The Company has recently announced the construction of additional call
centers in Pikesville and Hazard, Kentucky and has ongoing construction in
Scottsbluff, Nebraska, and Ed, Sweden, and anticipates that these new facilities
will become operational during 1999.
The Company believes that its accessible funds under its credit facilities and
cash flows from operations will be adequate to meet its continued expansion
objectives, anticipated levels of capital expenditures and debt repayment
requirements, including those that may be required pursuant to the integration
of its acquisitions, for the foreseeable future.
Results of Operations
Six Months Ended June 30, 1999, Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 1998
For the six months ended June 30, 1999, the Company recorded consolidated
revenues of $282.5 million, an increase of $73.7 million or 35.3%, from the
$208.8 million of consolidated revenues for the comparable period during 1998.
This growth in revenue was the result of a $96.5 million or 85.5% increase in
technical support services, an increase of $1.5 million from customer product
services, offset by a decrease of $24.3 million from information technology
services and solutions.
The increase in information technology support services revenues was primarily
attributable to an increase in the number of IT call centers providing services
throughout the period and the resultant increase in call volumes from clients,
and the inclusion of SHPS' revenue generated for the first half of 1999.
Subsequent to the first six months of 1998, the Company opened four domestic and
one international IT call centers, and expanded its call center in Sveg, Sweden.
The increase in customer product services revenue for the six months ended June
30, 1999 was primarily attributable to the Company's e-commerce initiatives. The
<PAGE>
Item 2 - Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations, continued
decrease in information technology services and solutions revenues was
attributable to a decrease in license fees and royalties associated with the
Company's technology applications, and to a decline in language translation and
localization services, when compared to the comparable period in 1998.
Direct salaries and related costs increased approximately $42.3 million or 32.5%
to $172.2 million for the six-month period in 1999 from the comparable period in
1998. As a percentage of revenues, however, direct salaries and related costs
decreased to approximately 61.0% in 1999 from approximately 62.2% for the
comparable period in 1998. The increase in the amount of direct salaries and
related costs was primarily attributable to the addition of personnel to support
revenue growth. The decrease as a percentage of revenues resulted from economies
of scale associated with spreading costs over a larger revenue base and the
continued change in the Company's mix of business reflecting the growth of
technical support services as a percentage of consolidated results.
General and administrative expenses increased approximately $18.7 million or
34.0% to $73.8 million for the six-month period in 1999 from the comparable
period in 1998. As a percentage of revenues, however, general and administrative
expenses decreased to 26.1% in 1999 from 26.4% for the comparable period in
1998. The increase in the amount of general and administrative expenses was
primarily attributable to the addition of management, sales and administrative
personnel to support the Company's growth. The decrease as a percentage of
revenues resulted from economies of scale associated with spreading costs over a
larger revenue base.
Interest and other expense was $1.4 million during the first six months of 1999,
compared to $3.7 million during the comparable 1998 period, inclusive of an $3.8
million net loss from joint venture. The net loss from the joint venture was
attributable to acquisition-related in-process research and development costs
associated with acquisitions completed by the joint venture, which was recorded
as other expense. The increase in interest and other expense for the six-month
period exclusive of the net loss from joint venture was primarily attributable
to an increase in the Company's debt position as a result of the acquisition of
SHPS completed during 1998.
The provision for income taxes increased $4.7 million to $13.6 million for the
six-month period in 1999 from the comparable period in 1998. As a percentage of
revenue, the provision for income taxes increased to 4.8% during the 1999 period
when contrasted to approximately 4.2% for the comparable 1998 period. The
increase was attributable to the increase of income before income taxes and to
an increase in income before income taxes as a percentage of revenue. The
Company's effective tax rate was 38.7% for 1999 compared to 37.1% for the
comparable 1998 period, excluding the effect of one-time charges, primarily as a
result of non-deductible expenses which consisted primarily of goodwill
amortization.
Three Months Ended June 30, 1999, Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 1998
For the three months ended June 30, 1999, the Company recorded consolidated
revenues of $146.1 million, an increase of $35.4 million or 32.0%, from the
$110.7 million of consolidated revenues for the comparable period during 1998.
This growth in revenue was the result of a $50.8 million or 86.3% increase in
technical support services, and an increase of $3.3 million from customer
product services, offset by a decrease of $18.6 million from information
technology services and solutions.
The increase in information technology support services revenues was primarily
attributable to an increase in the number of IT call centers providing services
throughout the period and the resultant increase in call volumes from clients,
and the inclusion of SHPS' revenue generated for the second quarter of 1999.
Subsequent to the second quarter of 1998, the Company opened four domestic and
one international IT call centers, and expanded its call center in Sveg, Sweden.
The increase in customer product services revenue for the three months ended
June 30, 1999 was primarily attributable to the Company's e-commerce
initiatives. The decrease in information technology services and solutions
revenues was attributable to a decrease in license fees and royalties associated
with the Company's technology applications, and to a decline in language
translation and localization services, when compared to the comparable period in
1998.

Results of Operations, continued
Direct salaries and related costs increased approximately $20.2 million or 29.3%
to $88.9 million for the three-month period in 1999 from the comparable period
in 1998. As a percentage of revenues, however, direct salaries and related costs
decreased to approximately 60.9% in 1999 from approximately 62.1% for the
comparable period in 1998. The increase in the amount of direct salaries and
related costs was primarily attributable to the addition of personnel to support
revenue growth. The decrease as a percentage of revenues resulted from economies
of scale associated with spreading costs over a larger revenue base and the
continued change in the Company's mix of business reflecting the growth of
technical support services as a percentage of consolidated results.
General and administrative expenses increased approximately $8.8 million or
30.4% to $37.6 million for the three month period in 1999 from the comparable
period in 1998. As a percentage of revenues, however, general and administrative
expenses decreased to 25.7% in 1999 from 26.0% for the comparable period in
1998. The increase in the amount of general and administrative expenses was
primarily attributable to the addition of management, sales and administrative
personnel to support the Company's growth. The decrease as a percentage of
revenues resulted from economies of scale associated with spreading costs over a
larger revenue base.
Interest and other expense was $0.9 million during the three-month period of
1999, compared to interest and other income of $0.2 million during the
comparable 1998 period. The increase in interest and other expense for the
three-month period was primarily attributable to an increase in the Company's
debt position as a result of the acquisition of SHPS completed during 1998.
The provision for income taxes increased $2.3 million to $7.3 million for the
three-month period in 1999 from the comparable period in 1998. As a percentage
of revenue, the provision for income taxes increased to 5.0% during the 1999
period when contrasted to approximately 4.5% for the comparable 1998 period. The
increase was attributable to the increase of income before income taxes and to
an increase in income before income taxes as a percentage of revenue. The
Company's effective tax rate was 38.7% for 1999 compared to 37.6% for the
comparable 1998 period, primarily as a result of non-deductible expenses which
consisted primarily of goodwill amortization.
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure
The Company's earnings and cash flows are subject to fluctuations due to changes
in foreign currency exchange rates. Movements in foreign currency exchange rates
may affect the Company's competitive position, as exchange rate changes may
affect business practices and/or pricing strategies of non-United States based
competitors. Under its current policy, the Company does not use foreign exchange
derivative instruments to manage its exposure to changes in foreign currency
exchange rates.

Item 2 - Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations, continued
Year 2000
Introduction
The Year 2000 issue is the result of computer software programs being written
using two digits rather than four to define the applicable year. Therefore,
these computer programs do not properly recognize a year that begins with "20"
instead of the familiar "19". To the extent the Company's software applications
contain source codes that are unable to appropriately interpret the calendar
year 2000, some level of modification or even possibly replacement of such
applications may be necessary.
Description of Areas of Impact and Risk
During late 1997, the Company initiated the process of reviewing its existing
software programs to determine the potential exposure and amount of resources
that may be needed to become Year 2000 compliant. Based on this review, the
Company has experienced very few problems related to Year 2000 testing and those
identified have been resolved in the Company's day-to-day operations.
The Company initiated formal communications with all of its significant
suppliers and large customers to determine the extent to which the Company's
interface systems are vulnerable to those third parties' failure to remediate
their own Year 2000 issues. In the event any third parties cannot timely provide
the Company with contents, products, services or systems that meet Year 2000
requirements, the Company's services could be materially adversely affected. The
Company continues to solicit, receive and renew responses to surveys sent to
those third parties determined to be material to the operations of the Company
to determine their Year 2000 readiness. For those critical third parties that
fail to respond to the Company's survey, the Company is pursuing alternative
means of obtaining Y2K readiness information and is conducting reviews of
publicly available information published by such third parties.
The Company has and will continue to utilize both internal and external
resources to reprogram, or replace, and test its internal use software for Year
2000 modifications. The Company anticipates completing its Year 2000 testing and
modifications no later than August 1999, which is prior to any anticipated
impact on its operating systems.
Cost of Project
The total cost of the Year 2000 project is estimated at approximately $1.2
million and is being funded through operating cash flows. To date, the Company
has incurred approximately $0.8 million related to this project. Such cost is
not expected to have a material effect on the Company's results of operations.
The remaining costs to become Year 2000 compliant and the date on which the
Company believes it will complete all Year 2000 modifications are based on
management's best estimates, which were derived utilizing numerous assumptions
of future events, including the continued availability of certain resources,
third party modification plans and other factors. However, there can be no
assurance that these estimates will be achieved and actual results could differ
materially from those anticipated. Specific factors that might cause such
material differences include, but are not limited to, the availability and cost
of personnel trained in this area, availability of corrective software provided
by external suppliers, the ability to locate and correct all relevant computer
codes and similar uncertainties.

Item 2 - Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations, continued
Contingency Planning and Risks
In a recent Securities and Exchange Commission release regarding Year 2000
disclosure, the Securities and Exchange Commission stated that public companies
must disclose the most reasonable likely worst case Year 2000 scenario. Although
it is not possible to assess the likelihood of any of the following events, each
must be included in a consideration of worst case scenarios: widespread failure
of electrical and similar supplies serving the Company; widespread disruption of
the services provided by common communications' carriers; similar disruption to
the means and modes of transportation for the Company and its employees,
suppliers, and customers; significant disruption to the Company's ability to
gain access to, and remain working in, office buildings and other facilities;
the failure of substantial numbers of the Company's customers' and its
suppliers' critical computer hardware and software systems, and the failure of
outside entities' systems, including systems related to banking and finance.
Although the Company expects its systems to be Year 2000 compliant on or before
December 31, 1999, it cannot predict the outcome or the success of its efforts
to become Year 2000 compliant, or that third party systems are or will be Year
2000 compliant, or that the costs required to address the Year 2000 issue, or
that the impact of a failure to achieve substantial Year 2000 compliance, will
not have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial
condition or results of operations. The Company is in the process of developing
contingency plans to ensure continued operation of its systems.
