PART II - RULES 12b-25(b) AND (c)
If the subject report could not be filed without unreasonable effort or expense
and the registrant seeks relief pursuant to Rule 12b-25(b), the following should
be completed.
(x) (a) The reasons described in reasonable detail in Part III of this form

( ) (b) The subject annual report, or semi-annual report, transition report
on Form 10-K, Form 20-F, Form 11-K, Form N-SAR, or portion thereof,
will be filed on or before the fifteenth calendar day following the

the fifth calendar day following the prescribed due date; and
( ) (c) The accountant's statement or other exhibit required by Rule 12b-25

PART III - NARRATIVE
State below in reasonable detail the reasons why the Form 10-K, 11-K, 10-Q,
N-SAR, or the transition report or portion thereof, could not be filed within
the prescribed time period. (Attach Extra Sheets if Needed).
Sykes Enterprises, Incorporated (the "Company") is preparing a Form 10-K/A for
the year ended December 31, 1999. The Form 10-K/A will include restated
financial statements and related notes thereto for the years ended December 31,
1998 and 1999, and other information related to such restated financial
statements.
The filing of the Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 1999 will precede
the filing of the Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2000.
Consequently, because of the substantial additional effort required to
accurately prepare the financial statements that will be included in the Form
10-K/A, the Company could not file its Form 10-Q for the period ended September
30, 2000 within the prescribed time period. The effort required to prepare these
additional financial statements could not be eliminated.
The Company expects to file the Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 1999
and the Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2000 on or before the fifth
calendar day following the prescribed due date.
