       NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                            SEPTEMBER 30, 1996

NOTE (1)--BASIS OF PRESENTATION

     The accompanying  unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements
have been prepared without audit pursuant to the rules and regulations of the 
Securities and Exchange Commission.   The condensed consolidated financial
statements reflect all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring
accruals) which, in the opinion of management, are necessary to present fairly
the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of TeleTech
Holdings, Inc. and subsidiaries as of September  30, 1996 and 1995 and for the
periods then ended.   Operating results for the three and nine month periods
ended September 30, 1996 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may
be expected for the year ended December 31, 1996.

     The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in
conjunction with the consolidated  and combined financial statements and
footnotes thereto included in the Companys  registration statement on Form S-1
dated  October  31, 1996.

NOTE (2)--INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING OF COMMON STOCK

          On  August 6, 1996  the Company completed an initial public offering
of its common stock.  The Company sold 4,000,000 shares of common stock at an
offering price of $14.50 per share.  Total proceeds after deducting $5,435,000
in estimated costs associated with the offering were $52,565,000.  Immediately
prior  to the closing of the offering  the Company completed a five-for-one
share common stock split.  All common stock amounts, equivalent share amounts
and per share amounts included in the accompanying financial statements and
related notes have been adjusted to give effect to the stock split.  In
connection with the public offering, 9,300,000 shares of common stock were
issued upon the conversion of all 1,860,000 outstanding shares of preferred
stock and 98,810 shares of treasury stock were acquired at a cost of $988,100.

NOTE (3)--ACQUISITION OF ACCESS 24 SERVICE CORPORATION PTY. LIMITED AND SALE OF
          ACCESS 24 LIMITED COMMON STOCK

     On January 1, 1996, the Company acquired 100% of the common  stock of
Access 24 Service Corporation Pty. Limited (with its subsidiaries "Access 24"),
for consideration of $7.1 million, consisting of  $2.27 million plus 970,240
shares of common  stock.   Access 24 provides inbound, toll-free customer
service, primarily to the health care and financial services sector in
Australia, the United Kingdom and New Zealand.

     On  April 30, 1996, the Company completed the sale of 50% of the common 
stock of Access 24 Limited ("Access 24 UK") to PPP Health Care Group plc ("PPP")
for cash of $3.8 million.  Access 24 UK is the United Kingdom subsidiary,
acquired by the Company as part of  the Access 24 acquisition, which  operates a
call center in London, England,  In addition PPP also purchased 1,000,000
preferred shares of  Access 24 UK for consideration of $1.5 million.  The
preferred shares have a par value of 1 pound each and dividends are cumulative
at the rate of 7% per annum.   A portion of the proceeds from the preferred
stock were used to repay outstanding advances from Access 24.    
     
     This acquisition of Access 24  has been accounted for using the purchase
method.  The proceeds from the sale of 50% of the stock  of Access 24 UK in
excess of the  proportionate share of the carrying amounts of the Access 24 UK 
assets and liabilities has been reflected as a reduction  of  the  goodwill
arising from the Access 24 acquisition.    The remaining 50% interest in Access
24 UK is accounted for using the equity method of accounting.   Under the equity
method, the Company's investment is initially recorded at cost and is adjusted
to recognize the Company's 50% share of net earnings or losses of the

affiliated company.   The excess of the cost of the investment over the
underlying net assets of Access 24 UK is being amortized using the straight line
method over 15 years.

NOTE (4)--EARNINGS PER SHARE

     Pursuant to Securities and Exchange Commission Staff Accounting Bulletin
No. 83, for purposes of determining the average number of common shares
outstanding for periods prior to completion of the public offering, common 
stock and common stock equivalent shares issued by the Company at prices below
the public offering price during the 12 month period prior to the offering date
(using the treasury stock method) have been included in the calculation as if
they were outstanding for all periods presented.  Common  stock amounts and
equivalent share amounts have been adjusted retroactively to give effect to the
stock split.  The shares of convertible preferred stock were considered common
stock equivalents due to the mandatory conversion provision.

the  sale of 4.0 million shares of common stock at a price of $31 per share. 
All 4.0 million shares were sold by selling stockholders.  The Company granted

600,000 shares by the Company.  This option was subsequently exercised.  
Expenses of the offering will be paid pro-rata by the selling shareholders and
the Company based upon the number of shares sold.   Total proceeds to the
Company from the over allotment after deducting commissions and the pro-rata
share of the offering costs will be approximately $17.5 million.

                    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
               OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
        FOR THE THREE AND NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1996 AND 1995

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1996 COMPARED TO NINE MONTHS ENDED 
 SEPTEMBER 30,1995

     Revenues increased $71.7 million or 205%, to $106.7 million for the nine
months ended September 30, 1996 from $35.0 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 1995.  The increase resulted from $9.1 million in revenues of
Access 24, which was acquired in the first quarter of 1996, $26.2 million in
revenues from new  clients  and $48.3 million in increased revenue from existing
clients.   These increases were  offset in part by contract expirations and
other client reductions, including  the loss of $6.1 million in revenues due to
the expiration of the Continental Airlines contract in the first quarter of
1996.  Revenues in the nine months ended September 30, 1996 reflect the
additional capacity provided by the opening of the Thornton Call Center in April
1996 and to a lessor extent the additional capacity provided by the opening of
the Van Nuys Call Center in July 1996.

     The Company's three largest clients for the nine months ended September 30,
1996 were AT&T, United Parcel Service and CompuServe, which accounted for
30%,22% and 17%, respectively, of the Company's revenues.  In September 1996 the
Company and CompuServe agreed to limit the monthly fees the Company charges
CompuServe under the largest program the Company provides to CompuServe, which
will effectively reduce the number of workstations that the Company dedicates to
such program.  The Company has redeployed most, and in the near future expects
to have redeployed all, of the workstations previously dedicated to such 
CompuServe program to new programs, including another program that the Company
provides for CompuServe.  Consequently, the Company does not expect this
reduction to materially decrease the Company's capacity utilization.  Although
the Company expects that the revenues it will realize under this program in the
fourth quarter of 1996 and in the first quarter of 1997 will be lower than
amounts received in the second and third quarters of 1996, the Company currently
expects that increased revenues from existing and new client programs will more
than  offset such loss in revenues.

      Costs of services increased $44.3 million, or 236%, to $63.1 million for
the nine months ended September 30, 1996 from $18.8 million for the nine months
ended September 30, 1995.  Costs of services as a percentage of revenues
increased from 54% for the nine months ended September 30, 1995 to 59% for the
nine months ended September 30, 1996.  The increase in the costs of services as
a percentage of revenues is a result of the significant revenues received in
1996 from the Company's facilities management program, under which the Company
commenced significant operations in April 1996.  Facilities management programs
have  higher costs of services as a percentage of revenues than fully outsourced
programs.  The Company did not generate any revenues in the nine months ended
September 30, 1995 from facilities management programs.

     Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $17.2 million, or
131% to $30.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 from $13.2
million for the nine months ended September 30, 1995.  This increase is
primarily the result of increased revenues during the period.  Selling, general
and administrative expenses  as a percentage of revenues decreased from 38% for
the nine months ended September 30, 1995 to 29% for the nine months ended
September 30, 1996 primarily as a result of spreading fixed costs over a larger
revenue base as well as the impact of the Company's facilities management
program, which has insignificant additional selling, general and administrative
expenses.

     As a result of the foregoing factors, income from operations increased
$10.1 million or 334%, to $13.2 million for the nine months ended September 30,
1996 from $3.0 million for the six months ended September 30, 1995.  Operating
income as a percentage of revenues increased from 8.7% for the nine months ended
September 30, 1995 to  12.4%  for the nine months ended September 30, 1996. 
This is primarily the result of the spreading of fixed costs over a larger
revenue base.

      Other expense totaled $445,000 for the nine months ended September 30,
1996  compared with other  income of $2.4 million during the nine months ended
September 30, 1996. This is primarily due to 1995 reflecting the impact of the 
$2.4 million one time payment made during the first quarter of 1995 by a former
client in connection with the early termination of a contract.

     As a result of the foregoing factors, net income increased $4.1 or 125%, to
$7.4 million  for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 from $3.3 million 
for the nine months ended September 30, 1995.  Excluding the one-time payment,
net income for the nine months ended September 30, 1995 would have been $1.8
million ($0.03 per share).  Accordingly net income would have increased $5.6
million, or 311%, in the first nine months of 1996 compared with 1995. 

THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1996 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED 
 SEPTEMBER 30, 1995

     Revenues increased $37.4 million or 294%, to $50.1 million for the three
months ended September 30, 1996 from $12.7 million for the three months ended
September 30, 1995.  The increase resulted from $3.3 million in revenues of
Access 24, which was acquired in the first quarter of 1996, $17.4 million in
revenues from new  clients  and $22.1 million in increased revenue from existing
clients.   These increases were offset by contract expirations and other client
reductions, including  the loss of $2.6 million in revenues due to the
expiration of the Continental Airlines contract in the first quarter of 1996. 
Revenues in the three months ended September 30, 1996 reflect the additional
capacity provided by the opening of the Thornton Call Center in April 1996 and
to a  lessor extent the additional capacity provided by the opening of the Van
Nuys Call Center in July 1996.

       Costs of services increased $24.5 million, or 355%, to $31.4 million for
the three months ended September 30, 1996 from $6.9 million for the three months
ended September 30, 1995.  Costs of services as a percentage of revenues
increased from 54% for the three  months ended September 30, 1995 to 63% for the
three months ended September 30, 1996.  The increase in the costs of services as
a percentage of revenues is a result of the significant revenues received in
1996 from the Company's facilities management program, under which the Company
commenced significant operations in April 1996.  Facilities management programs
have  higher costs of services as a percentage of revenues than fully outsourced
programs.  The Company did not generate any revenues in the nine months ended
September 30, 1995 from facilities management programs.  Facilities management
programs have  higher costs of services as a percentage of revenues than fully
outsourced programs.  The Company did not generate any revenues in the three
months ended September 30, 1995 from facilities management programs.

     Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $7.2 million, or
158% to $11.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 1996 from $4.6
million for the three months ended September 30, 1995.  This increase is
primarily the result of increased revenues during the period.  Selling, general
and administrative expenses  as a percentage of revenues decreased from 36% for
the three months ended September 30, 1995 to 24% for the three  months ended
September 30, 1996 primarily as a result of spreading fixed costs over a larger
revenue base as well as the impact of the Company's facilities management
program, which has insignificant additional selling, general and administrative
expenses. 

     As a result of the foregoing factors, income from operations  increased
$5.7 million, or 467%, to $6.9 million for the three months ended September 30,
1996 from $1.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 1995.  Operating
income as a percentage of revenues increased from 10% for the three months ended
September 30, 1995 to 14% for the three months ended September 30, 1996.

      Other income  increased $61,000  to $99,000 during the three months ended
September 30, 1996 compared with  $38,000 for the three months ended September
30, 1995.  This is a result of increased interest income resulting from the
invested proceeds from the initial public offering.

     As a result of the foregoing factors, net income increased $3.2 million  or
371%, to $4.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 1996 from
$862,000  for the three months ended September 30, 1995.  

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     As of September 30, 1996 the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $5.9
million and short-term investments of $53.3 million.  Cash provided by operating
activities was $5.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1996.

     Cash used in investing activities was $46.9 million for the nine months
ended September 30, 1996 which includes $42.9 million in increased short-term
investments resulting from the net proceeds from the initial public offering. 
The  Company incurred capital expenditures of $5.4 million, excluding $9.5
million in assets acquired under capital leases.  In addition, the Company used
$2.4 million in connection with the Access 24 acquisition.  These expenditures
were offset by  the receipt of $3.9 million from the sale of 50% of Access 24
UK.  See Note 3 to the unaudited consolidated financial statements.  

     Cash requirements for operating and financing activities for the nine
months ended September 30, 1996 were financed with $46.9 million in cash flow 
from financing activities consisting of $52.6 million in net proceeds from the
initial public offering , net of  capital lease payments, reduction in short
term borrowing  and the reduction of the bank overdraft.

     The Company has a $15 million  unsecured revolving operating line of credit
which expires on May 31, 1998.  At September 30, 1996 there were no outstanding
borrowings under this agreement.  In addition, the Company has two master lease
agreements.  Under one agreement the Company may lease equipment up to an
aggregate value of $15.0 million.  As of September 30, 1996, amounts outstanding
under this agreement were approximately$9.4 million.  Under the second
agreement, the Company's borrowings are approved, and specific terms are set, on
a case-by-case basis.  As of September 30, 1996, the total amount outstanding
under this agreement was approximately $2.0 million.

     The Company believes that existing cash on hand together with cash from
operations and available borrowings under the line of credit and master lease
agreements, will be sufficient to finance the Company's operations, planned
capital expenditures and anticipated growth through 1997.
