                       SITEL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
              NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION:

The consolidated  condensed  balance sheet of SITEL Corporation and Subsidiaries
(the  "Company") at December 31, 1999 was obtained  from the  Company's  audited
balance sheet as of that date. All other financial  statements  contained herein
are  unaudited  and,  in the  opinion of  management,  contain  all  adjustments
necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position,  operating results,
and cash flows for the  periods  presented.  Such  adjustments  consist  only of
normal recurring items. The consolidated  condensed financial  statements should
be read in  conjunction  with the  consolidated  financial  statements and notes
thereto,  together  with  management's  discussion  and  analysis  of  financial
condition and results of  operations,  contained in the Company's  Form 10-K for
the year ended December 31, 1999.

2. COMPREHENSIVE INCOME (LOSS):

The Company's  comprehensive income (loss) was $112,000 and ($2,613,000) for the
three month periods ended June 30, 2000 and 1999,  respectively,  and ($229,000)
and  ($9,174,000)  for the six  month  periods  ended  June 30,  2000 and  1999,
respectively.  The difference  between the Company's  reported net income (loss)
and  comprehensive  income  (loss) for those periods is due to the impact of the
change  in  currency  exchange  rates  on  the  translation  of the  assets  and
liabilities  of  the  Company's  foreign  subsidiaries.  The  accumulated  other
comprehensive  loss included in the  Company's  Consolidated  Condensed  Balance
Sheet at June  30,  2000  and  December  31,  1999 is the  accumulated  currency
exchange adjustment.

3. ASSET IMPAIRMENT AND RESTRUCTURING EXPENSE:

In May 2000, the Company formed a strategic partnership with Bellsystem24, Inc.,
Japan's  largest  comprehensive   marketing  agency.  Under  the  terms  of  the
partnership,  Bellsystem24  will provide  services and support for the Company's
clients  in  Japan  and the  Company  will  provide  services  and  support  for
Bellsystem24's clients in the United States. In connection with the formation of
the  partnership,   the  Company   restructured  its  operations  in  Japan  and
transferred  its  existing  Japanese  business  to  Bellsystem24.  In the second
quarter,  the Company recorded a $3.5 million asset impairment and restructuring
charge,   or  $2.0  million  net  of  tax,   related  to  the  transaction  with
Bellsystem24.  The restructuring charge included a $3.3 million loss on the sale
of assets and transfer of its business  and  estimated  severance of $.2 million
for 12 employees.

4. MULTI-CURRENCY REVOLVING CREDIT FACILITY

On April 11, 2000, the Company  secured a $75 million  five-year  senior secured
credit facility with lender pre-approval to increase the size of the facility to
$100 million. Under the terms of this agreement,  the Company may borrow in U.S.
dollars,  British  pounds  sterling and euros,  thereby  allowing the Company to
consolidate  its U.S.  and  European  bank lines  into a single  multi-borrower,
multi-currency  facility. In connection with securing this facility, the Company
terminated its existing $50 million  long-term credit facility and various lines
of credit which were used to fund local  operations in British  pounds  sterling
and euros. The funds available under the new facility are approximately equal to
the total of the funds available under the facilities which were terminated.  At
June 30,  2000,  the unused line of credit  relating to this  facility was $65.4
million.

                                                                     (Continued)

5. SUPPLEMENTAL GUARANTOR FINANCIAL INFORMATION:

The  Company's  9.25%  Senior  Subordinated  Notes  are  guaranteed,  on a full,
unconditional  and joint and several basis,  by  substantially  all wholly owned
domestic  subsidiaries  of the Company.  Separate  financial  statements  of the
guarantor  subsidiaries are not presented because management has determined that
they would not be  material  to  investors.  However,  the  following  condensed
consolidating information presents:

     (1)  Condensed  consolidating  financial statements as of December 31, 1999
          and June 30,  2000,  and for the three and six  months  ended June 30,

     (3)  Elimination  entries necessary to consolidate SITEL  Corporation,  the

THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2000 VS. THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1999

REVENUES

Revenues increased $15.8 million, or 8.9%, to $193.8 million in the three months
ended June 30, 2000 from $178.0 million in the three months ended June 30, 1999.
The increase was  attributable  to $19.6  million of services  initiated for new
clients,  offset  by a net $3.8  million  decrease  in  revenues  from  existing
clients.  The increase in the value of the U.S.  dollar versus the British pound
and Euro  since June 1999  reduced  the  reported  revenues  from the  Company's
European operations by approximately $4.6 million compared to the second quarter
of 1999.

COST OF SERVICES

Cost of  services  represents  primarily  labor  and  telephone  usage  expenses
directly  related  to  customer  relationship  management  activities.  Cost  of
services as a percent of revenue  can vary based on the nature of the  contract,
the  nature  of the work  and the  market  in which  the  service  is  provided.
Accordingly,  cost of  services  as a percent  of  revenue  can vary,  sometimes
significantly,  from  quarter  to  quarter.  Cost of  services  increased  $10.0
million,  or 10.5%,  to $105.3  million in the three months ended June 30, 2000,
from $95.3  million in the three months ended June 30, 1999.  As a percentage of
revenues, cost of services increased to 54.3% in the second quarter of 2000 from
53.6% in the second quarter of 1999. This increase was primarily due to a change
in the mix of services compared to the second quarter of 1999.

SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES

Selling,  general and  administrative  expenses  represent  expenses incurred to
directly  support  and  manage  the  business,  including  costs of  management,
administration,   technology,   facilities,   depreciation   and   amortization,
maintenance,  sales and marketing, and client support services. Selling, general
and administrative expenses decreased $0.9 million, or 1.2%, to $77.1 million in
the three  months  ended June 30,  2000 from $78.0  million in the three  months
ended  June  30,  1999.  As a  percentage  of  revenues,  selling,  general  and
administrative  expenses  decreased to 39.8% in the second  quarter of 2000 from
43.8% in the second  quarter  of 1999.  This  decrease  reflects  the  increased
leveraging of overhead  through revenue growth,  improved  expense  controls and
non-recurring  expenses in the second quarter of 1999 related to  re-engineering
costs in the Company's United Kingdom operations and severance and consolidation
costs in the Asia Pacific region.

ASSET IMPAIRMENT AND RESTRUCTURING EXPENSES

In May 2000, the Company formed a strategic partnership with Bellsystem24, Inc.,
Japan's  largest  comprehensive   marketing  agency.  Under  the  terms  of  the
partnership,  Bellsystem24  will provide  services and support for the Company's
clients  in Japan,  and the  Company  will  provide  services  and  support  for
Bellsystem24's clients in the United States. In connection with the formation of
the  partnership,   the  Company   restructured  its  operations  in  Japan  and
transferred  its  existing  Japanese  business  to  Bellsystem24.  In the second
quarter,  the Company recorded a $3.5 million asset impairment and restructuring
charge,   or  $2.0  million  net  of  tax,   related  to  the  transaction  with
Bellsystem24.

                       SITEL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

OPERATING INCOME

Operating income increased 69.5% to $7.9 million for the three months ended June
30,  2000 from $4.7  million  for the three  months  ended June 30,  1999.  As a
percent of revenues, operating income increased to 4.1% in the second quarter of
2000 from 2.6% in the second quarter 1999.  Excluding the restructuring  expense
related to the Company's operations in Japan, operating income increased 145% to
$11.4 million,  and operating income as a percent of revenues increased to 5.9%,
for the three months ended June 30, 2000.

INTEREST EXPENSE, NET

Interest expense, net of interest income, increased to $3.2 million in the three
months  ended June 30, 2000 from $3.0 million in the three months ended June 30,
1999.  This increase was primarily due to higher  interest rates offset by lower
outstanding debt.

INCOME TAX EXPENSE

Income tax expense  for the three  months  ended June 30, 2000 was $2.0  million
compared to $1.1 million for the three  months  ended June 30, 1999.  Income tax
expense as a percent of income before taxes and minority  interest was 43.0% for
the quarter.  The difference  between the company's income tax rate of 43.0% and
the  statutory  U.S.  Federal  rate of 35% is  primarily  due to  non-deductible
goodwill and U.S. state and local income taxes.

NET INCOME (LOSS)

For the reasons  discussed  above,  net income increased to $2.4 million for the
three  months  ended June 30, 2000 from $0.5  million for the three months ended
June 30, 1999.  Excluding the restructuring  expense and the related tax effect,
net income  increased  over seven fold to $4.4 million for the second quarter of
2000.

SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2000 VS. SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1999
-----------------------------------------------------------------

REVENUES

Revenues increased $50.2 million,  or 14.7%, to $392.4 million in the six months
ended June 30, 2000 from $342.2  million in the six months  ended June 30, 1999.
Of this increase,  $30.5 million was attributable to services  initiated for new
clients and approximately  $19.7 million was attributable to increased  revenues
from  existing  clients.  The  increase in revenues  from  existing  clients was
primarily the result of increased activity rather than higher rates.

COST OF SERVICES

Cost of services increased $31.5 million, or 17.1%, to $215.3 million in the six
months ended June 30, 2000, from $183.8 million in the six months ended June 30,
1999.  As a percentage of revenues,  cost of services  increased to 54.9% in the
first  six  months of 2000 from  53.7% in the  first  six  months of 1999.  This
increase was  primarily  due to a change in the mix of services  compared to the
second quarter of 1999 and higher labor costs in Spain.

SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $4.1 million, or 2.7%, to
$156.4  million in the six months ended June 30, 2000 from $152.4 million in the
six months ended June 30,  1999.  This  increase  was  primarily a result of the
Company's  continued growth partially offset by improved expense controls.  As a
percentage of revenues,  selling,  general and administrative expenses decreased
to 39.9% in the first six  months of 2000 from  44.5% in the first six months of
1999.  This  decrease  reflects the  increased  leveraging  of overhead  through
revenue growth,  improved  expense  controls and  non-recurring  expenses in the
second quarter of 1999 related to  re-engineering  costs in the Company's United
Kingdom  operations  and severance and  consolidation  costs in the Asia Pacific
region.

OPERATING INCOME

Operating  income increased 185.9% to $17.2 million in the six months ended June
30, 2000 from $6.0 million in the six months ended June 30, 1999.  Excluding the
aforementioned  restructuring  expense  related to the  Company's  operations in
Japan,  operating  income  increased  244.5% to $20.7  million in the six months
ended June 30, 2000.

INTEREST EXPENSE, NET

Interest expense,  net of interest income,  increased to $6.6 million in the six
months  ended June 30, 2000 from $6.2  million in the six months  ended June 30,
1999. This increase was primarily due to higher interest rates.

INCOME TAX EXPENSE

Income tax  expense  for the six months  ended  June 30,  2000 was $4.5  million
compared  to $.9  million  for the six months  ended June 30,  1999.  Income tax
expense as a percent of income before taxes and minority  interest was 43.0% for
the six months ended June 30, 2000. The difference  between the company's income
tax rate of 43.0% and the statutory U.S. Federal rate of 35% is primarily due to
non-deductible goodwill and U.S. state and local income taxes.

NET INCOME (LOSS)

For the reasons discussed above, net income increased to $5.4 million in the six
months  ended June 30, 2000 from a loss of $1.0  million in the six months ended
June 30, 1999.  Excluding  the  restructuring  expense  related to the Company's
operations in Japan,  and the related tax effect,  net income  increased to $7.5
million for the six months ended June 30, 2000.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Cash provided by operating  activities  was $36.7  million  during the six-month
period  ended June 30,  2000.  This was  primarily  the result of income  before
depreciation,  amortization and asset impairment and  restructuring  expenses of
$31.8  million and a decrease of $4.6 million in accounts  receivable.  Although
accounts  receivable  decreased during the period,  as the Company  continues to
grow it anticipates  that accounts  receivable  will increase in future periods,
requiring  increased  working  capital.  The Company

                                       17

                       SITEL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

purchased  $12.6  million of property and equipment in the six months ended June
30, 2000. The Company  anticipates  that capital  expenditures  will increase in
future  quarters to support the growth of its business;  however,  total capital
expenditures  in 2000 are  currently  anticipated  to be less than in 1999.  The
Company  used $37.0  million of cash to repay debt in the six months  ended June
30, 2000.

The  Company  has  historically  used  equity  capital,   funds  generated  from
operations,  leases of property and  equipment,  senior  subordinated  notes and
borrowings under credit facilities with banks to finance business  acquisitions,
capital  expenditures and working capital  requirements.  On April 11, 2000, the
Company  secured a $75 million  five-year  senior secured credit  facility which
provides  funding in U.S.  dollars,  British pounds sterling and euros,  thereby
allowing the Company to  consolidate  its U.S.  and  European  bank lines into a
single multi-borrower, multi-currency facility. The new facility includes lender
pre-approval  to increase the size to $100 million.  In connection with securing
this facility,  the Company terminated its existing $50 million long-term credit
facility and various lines of credit which were used to fund local operations in
British pounds  sterling and euros.  The funds  available under the new facility
are approximately equal to the total of the funds available under the facilities
which were  terminated.  The  obligations  of the Company under the new facility
have been guaranteed by the Company's domestic  subsidiaries and certain foreign
subsidiaries  and are  secured  by liens on  substantially  all of the assets of
SITEL  Corporation  and such  subsidiaries,  including a pledge of the Company's
shares in such subsidiaries and certain other foreign subsidiaries. The facility
contains certain  financial  covenants and certain  restrictions on, among other
things,  the Company's  ability to incur  additional debt, pay dividends or make
certain other restricted payments, make certain investments,  and sell assets or
merge with another  company.  The facility becomes due and payable upon a change
of control of the Company as defined in the credit agreement.  At June 30, 2000,
the unused  line of credit  relating to this  facility  was $65.4  million.  The
Company believes that funds generated from operations,  existing cash, leases of
property and equipment and funds available  under its credit  facilities will be
sufficient to finance its current operations,  planned capital  expenditures and
growth for the  foreseeable  future.  Future  acquisitions,  if any, may require
additional debt or equity financing.

QUARTERLY RESULTS AND SEASONALITY

The Company has  experienced  and  expects to continue to  experience  quarterly
variations  in its  results  of  operations,  principally  due to the  timing of
clients'  customer   relationship   management   initiatives  and  teleservicing
campaigns,  revenue  mix,  and the timing of  additional  selling,  general  and
administrative  expenses to support new business.  The Company also  experiences
periodic  fluctuations  related  to both  the  start-up  costs  associated  with
expansion and the implementation of new contracts or services. In addition,  the
Company's  business  tends to be  slower  in the  third  quarter  due to  summer
holidays  in Europe  and, to a lesser  degree,  in the first  quarter due to the
changeover of client  marketing  strategies that often occur at the beginning of
the year.

EFFECTS OF INFLATION

Inflation has not had a significant effect on the Company's operations. However,
there can be no assurance that inflation will not have a material  effect on the
Company's operations in the future.

ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

Statement  of  Financial  Accounting  Standards  ("SFAS")  133,  Accounting  for
Derivative Investments and Hedging Activities, was issued in June 1998. SFAS 133
establishes  accounting  standards for  derivative  instruments  and for hedging
activities.  The  standard,  as amended by SFAS 137, is effective for all fiscal
quarters of fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000. The Company  anticipates
adopting this accounting  pronouncement  in the first quarter of 2001;  however,
management  believes that it will not have a significant impact on the Company's
consolidated financial statements.

In December 1999, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting
Bulletin 101 - Revenue  Recognition  in Financial  Statements  ("SAB 101").  The
Company  is  still  in the  process  of  evaluating  the  guidance  for  revenue
recognition provided by SAB 101 and will report the impact of adoption,  if any,
as a cumulative  effect of a change in accounting  during the fourth  quarter of
2000.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section
27A of the Securities  Act and Section 21E of the Exchange Act. Such  statements
are identified by the use of forward-looking  words or phrases which may include
but are not limited to, "intended," "will be positioned," "expects," "expected,"
"anticipates,"   "anticipated,"   "believes"   and  similar   expressions.   The

statements other than statements of historical facts included in this Form 10-Q,

are  forward-looking   statements.   Although  the  Company  believes  that  the
expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable,  there
can be no assurance  that such  expectations  will prove to be correct.  Because
forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties, the Company's actual
results  could  differ  materially.  Important  factors  that could cause actual
results to differ  materially from the Company's  expectations may include,  but
are not limited to, the effects of leverage,  restrictions  imposed by the terms
of  indebtedness,  reliance on major clients,  risks  associated with managing a
global   business,    fluctuations   in   operating    results,    reliance   on
telecommunications and computer technology,  risks associated with the Company's

business regulation,  and dependence on key personnel and control by management.
All subsequent written and oral forward-looking  statements  attributable to the
Company or persons  acting on behalf of the Company are  expressly  qualified in

ITEM 3.    QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.

The Company is exposed to market  risks  associated  primarily  with  changes in
foreign currency exchange rates. The Company has operations in many parts of the
world;  however,  both revenues and expenses of those  operations  are typically
denominated  in the currency of the country of  operations,  providing a natural
hedge.  The Company  entered into certain hedging  transactions  during 1999 and
2000  designed to hedge  foreign  currency  exchange  risk related to short term
intercompany loans; however, the amounts involved were not material.
