NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)
 
Note 1 — Basis of Presentation
 
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by TechTeam Global, Inc. (“TechTeam” or the “Company”) in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by United States generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included, and such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2010, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2010. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009.

Note 3 — Earnings (Loss) Per Share
 
Basic earnings (loss) per share for common stock is computed using the weighted average number of common shares  excluding unvested restricted shares and shares held in escrow in connection with the Company’s acquisition of RL Phillips, Inc. Dilutive earnings (loss) per share for common stock is computed using weighted average number of common shares and common share equivalents outstanding. Common share equivalents consist of stock options, unvested restricted stock issued to employees and shares held in escrow in connection with the Company’s acquisition of RL Phillips, Inc. During the three months ended March 31, 2010, common share equivalents (including 1,867,992 stock options) were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per common share due to the loss for the period. During the three months ended March 31, 2009, 2,179,100 stock options were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per common share because the exercise prices of the options were higher than the average market price of the Company’s common stock for the respective period.

Note 4 — Restructuring
 
On March 29, 2010 the Company announced a restructuring plan to reduce certain redundant costs, eliminate some excess capacity and support the Company's strategy to more tightly focus its business. The restructuring plan was approved by the Company’s Board of Directors on March 23, 2010. The 2010 pre-tax restructuring charge amounted to $3,144,000, and was primarily related to separation costs for approximately 40 employees and reductions in excess leased facility capacity around the world.

In 2009, the Company implemented a restructuring plan to improve global management consistency. The Company globalized its sales and solution design functions across all geographies. This created a redundancy of a senior executive in Europe. The 2009 pre-tax restructuring charge related to this action was $1,167,000 and was primarily for separation costs for one employee. The total 2009 restructuring charge relates to the selling, general and administrative expenses line item on the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

During 2008, the Company announced corporate-wide organizational realignment and restructuring actions to improve operating efficiency, achieve greater global consistency and drive improved financial performance.  The restructuring plans were approved by the Company’s Board of Directors on May 21, 2008 and December 23, 2008.  The 2008 pre-tax restructuring charges amounted to $5,719,000, and were primarily related to separation costs for approximately 80 employees and reductions in excess leased facility capacity around the world.
 
Due to the inherent uncertainty involved in estimating restructuring expenses, actual amounts paid for such activities may differ from amounts initially estimated. Accordingly, during the second quarter of 2009, the Company reversed $756,000 of previously recorded liabilities related to the 2008 restructuring plan. This reversal resulted from amending a lease for facilities in Europe to eliminate its obligation to pay for leased space that was vacated and expensed in 2008 by favorably re-negotiating the terms of the facility lease which lowered the expected exit costs.

Note 5 — Property, Equipment and Software
 
Long-lived assets are evaluated for impairment when events occur or circumstances indicate that the remaining estimated useful lives may warrant revision or that the remaining balances may not be recoverable. When this occurs, an estimate of undiscounted cash flows is used to determine if the remaining balances are recoverable. No events of circumstances were noted in the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009 which would require management to perform the noted analysis.
 
 
Note 6 — Acquisitions and Dispositions
 
Onvaio LLC
 
On May 30, 2008, TechTeam Global, Inc. completed the acquisition of Onvaio LLC (“Onvaio”), a California limited liability company. Onvaio is a provider of technical support outsourcing services for clients globally through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Onvaio Asia Services, Inc., based in Manila, Philippines. The initial purchase price totaled $4,787,000 and included acquisition costs of $400,000. In addition to the initial purchase price paid at closing, an additional $1,500,000 was placed into an escrow account and is payable in increments of $125,000 on the last day of each fiscal quarter provided that Onvaio is still providing services to its largest customer in substantially the same form and content as provided at closing. As of March 31, 2010, $875,000 had been released from escrow and paid to the selling shareholders. This additional amount is being recorded as goodwill as it is earned.

Note 7 — Stock-Based Compensation
 
The Company measures and recognizes compensation expense for all stock-based payment awards based on the estimated fair value of the award. Compensation expense is recognized over the period during which the recipient is required to provide service in exchange for the award. Stock-based compensation expense recognized in each period is based on the value of the portion of the share-based award that is ultimately expected to vest during the period. The Company’s outstanding stock-based awards consist of stock options and restricted stock.
 
Stock Options
 
The Company recorded compensation expense totaling $334,000 and $314,000 related to outstanding options during the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. At March 31, 2010 and 2009, there was approximately $1,641,000 and $2,842,000, respectively, of unrecognized compensation expense related to stock options. Unrecognized compensation expense at March 31, 2010 is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of approximately one year.
 
The Company records compensation expense for stock options based on the estimated fair value of the options on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes valuation model. The Company uses historical data among other factors to estimate the expected price volatility, the expected option term and the expected forfeiture rate. The risk-free rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the date of grant for the expected term of the option.
 
There were no options granted during the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009.
 
Restricted Common Stock
 
Compensation expense related to all restricted stock under all plans is recorded on a straight-line basis over the vesting period. The Company recorded compensation expense of approximately $274,000 and $224,000 related to outstanding shares of restricted stock under all plans for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.
 
The weighted average grant-date fair value of restricted stock granted under all plans was $6.91 and $3.76 for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The fair value of restricted stock awards granted under all plans was determined based on the closing trading price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant.
 
At March 31, 2010 and 2009, there was approximately $3,028,000 and $2,466,000, respectively, of total unrecognized compensation expense related to nonvested shares of restricted stock. Unrecognized compensation expense at March 31, 2010 is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of three years.

Note 8 — Income Taxes
 
At March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the Company had an unrecognized tax benefit of approximately $113,000. The Company recognizes accrued interest related to unrecognized tax benefits as a component of interest expense and recognizes penalties as a component of selling, general and administrative expense. During the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, interest and penalties recognized in the financial statements were not material. The Company had no material accruals for the payment of interest and penalties at March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009.
 
The Company and its subsidiaries file income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, and various state and foreign jurisdictions. With few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal, state and local, or non-U.S. income tax examinations by tax authorities for years before 2002. The Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) commenced an examination of the Company’s 2004 U.S. federal income tax return in the first quarter of 2007, which was completed in the second quarter of 2008. The following table summarizes tax years that remain subject to examination by major tax jurisdictions.

For the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, the consolidated effective tax rates were 20.0% and 40.9%, respectively.  The rate for March 31, 2010 differs from the statutory tax rate of 34% primarily due to foreign operating losses for which a tax benefit is not recorded, state income taxes and nondeductible expenses. The level of foreign operating losses was increased during the quarter because a significant portion of the Company’s restructuring charge was incurred in countries with historical operating losses.  The rate for March 31, 2009 differs from the statutory rate of 34% primarily due to state income taxes, foreign operating losses for which a tax benefit is not recorded, and nondeductible expenses.
 
 
Note 9 — Segment Reporting
 
Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker, or decision-making group, in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. Our chief operating decision-making group is the Executive Leadership Team, which is comprised of the President and Chief Executive Officer, the Chief Financial Officer, the Vice President of Global Sales, the President of TechTeam Government Solutions, the Vice Presidents of Client Service Management, Chief Information Officer, General Counsel and the Vice Presidents of Human Resources. The operating segments are managed separately because each operating segment represents a strategic business unit that offers different services.
 
The accounting policies of the operating segments are the same as those described in Note 1 to the Company’s consolidated financial statements contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009. The Company evaluates segment performance based on segment gross profit. Assets are not allocated to operating segments, but certain amounts of depreciation and amortization expense are allocated to operating segments.

Note 11 – Financial Instruments Measured at Fair Value
 
Items Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis
 
On January 1, 2009, the Company adopted the provisions of ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” (“ASC 820”) related to nonfinancial assets and liabilities on a prospective basis. ASC 820 establishes the authoritative definition of fair value, sets out a framework for measuring fair value and expands the required disclosures about fair value measurement. On January 1, 2008, the Company adopted the provisions of ASC 820 related to financial assets and liabilities as well as other assets and liabilities carried at fair value on a recurring basis. The valuation techniques required by ASC 820 are based on observable and unobservable inputs using the following hierarchy:
 
Level 1 —
Observable inputs such as quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
 
Level 2 —
Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets and quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active.
 
Level 3 —
Unobservable inputs that reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions.
 
The following table summarizes the basis used to measure certain financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value on a recurring basis in the balance sheet:

On June 4, 2007, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement with a notional amount of $30,000,000. Under the swap agreement, the notional amount will be reduced by $625,000 on a monthly basis and will mature on June 3, 2011. The purpose of the interest rate swap, which is designated as a cash flow hedge, is to manage interest costs and the risk associated with variable-rate debt. The Company does not hold or issue derivative instruments for trading purposes. The swap effectively converts a portion of the Company’s variable-rate debt under the Credit Agreement to a fixed rate. Under this agreement, the Company receives a floating rate based on LIBOR and pays a fixed rate of 5.55% on the outstanding notional amount. The fair value of these interest rate derivatives are based on quoted prices for similar instruments from a commercial bank and, therefore, the interest rate derivative is considered a level 2 item.
 
For the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, losses recognized in other comprehensive income (loss) on derivatives were $14,000 and $74,000, respectively and losses reclassified from other comprehensive income (loss) into interest expense upon settlement amounted to $136,000 and $220,000, for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The liability associated with the interest rate swap is included in other current liabilities and other long-term liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet in the amounts of $311,000 and $17,000, respectively, at March 31, 2010 and $394,000 and $55,000, respectively, at December 31, 2009.

Note 11 – Financial Instruments Measured at Fair Value (continued)
 
Items Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis
 
In addition to its interest rate swap, the Company measured restructuring related liabilities (Note 4 - Restructuring) at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. These liabilities are not measured at fair value on a recurring basis and, therefore, are not included in the tables above.
 
The Company has determined that the fair value measurements included in these liabilities rely primarily on Company-specific inputs and the Company’s assumptions about the settlement of liabilities, as observable inputs are not available.  As such, the Company has determined that these fair value measurements reside within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.  The restructuring obligations recorded represent the fair value of the payments expected to be made, and are discounted if the payment are expected to extend beyond one year.
 
As of March 31, 2010, the Company had $2.7 million of restructuring accruals which were measured at fair value upon initial recognition of the associated liability.
 
 
Note 12 — Notes Payable and Line of Credit
 
 
On March 29, 2010, the Company amended its existing Credit Agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. and Bank of America, N.A. The Amendment reduced the Company’s borrowing limit from $55,000,000 to $28,000,000. Bank of America, N.A. has been paid in full and is no longer a participating lender.
 
 
The Amendment increased the interest rate applicable to borrowings under the Credit Agreement. The interest rate is equal to the Eurocurrency rate for U.S. dollars plus a factor determined with reference to the Company’s Leverage Ratio. The Amendment increased the range for this factor from a range of 0.95% - 1.45% to a range of 1.50% - 2.00%. The unused commitment fee was also increased from a range of 0.15% - 0.25% to a range of 0.25% - 0.35% and is also based on the Company’s Leverage Ratio.
 
 
The Amendment permits the Company to maintain:  (a) a rolling four-quarter Leverage Ratio as of the fiscal quarters ending March 31, 2010 and June 30, 2010 of 3.25 to 1 (up from 3.0 to 1), and 3.0 to 1 for fiscal quarters thereafter; and (b) a rolling four-quarter Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio as of fiscal quarters ending March 31, 2010 and June 30, 2010 of 1.0 to 1.0 (down from 1.25 to 1.0), and 1.25 to 1.0 for fiscal quarters thereafter.
 
 
The Amendment also modified the definition of “Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA” to allow the Company to exclude:  (a) non-cash goodwill and intangible impairment charges for fiscal quarters ended December 31, 2009, March 31, 2010 and June 30, 2010; and (b) amounts related to cash restructuring charges for fiscal quarters ended March 31, 2010 and June 30, 2010.
 
 
Note 13 — Subsequent Event
 
Pursuant to the subsequent events topic of the FASB codification, the Company evaluated subsequent events after March 31, 2010 and concluded no material transactions had occurred subsequent to that date that provided additional evidence about conditions which existed at or after March 31, 2010 requiring any adjustment to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

ITEM 2 — MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
 
Overview
TechTeam Global, Inc. is a leading provider of IT outsourcing and business process outsourcing services to large and medium business, as well as government organizations. The Company's primary services include service desk, technical support, desk-side support, security administration, infrastructure management and related professional services. TechTeam also provides a number of specialized, value-added services in specific vertical markets. Our business consists of two main components — our Commercial business and our Government business. Together, our IT Outsourcing Services segment, IT Consulting and Systems Integration segment and Other Services segment comprise our Commercial business. In addition to managing our commercial business by service line, we also manage it by geographic markets — the Americas (defined as North America excluding our government-based subsidiaries), Europe and Latin America/Asia. Our Government Technology Services segment comprises our Government business.
 
 
For the first quarter of 2010, TechTeam reported a net loss of $2.7 million, or $0.25 per diluted share, for the three months ended March 31, 2010. The net loss for the first quarter of 2010 included a restructuring charge of $3.1 million ($2.5 million net of tax) announced on March 29, 2010.  Excluding the restructuring charge, the Company would have reported a net loss of $134,000, or $0.01 per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2010, as compared to net income of $1.7 million, or $0.16 per diluted share, reported for the same period last year.  Despite these results, the Company’s first quarter results show important signs of stabilization in the Company’s business.
 
·  
While revenue was $48.0 million in the first quarter of 2010, a decrease of 14.4% from the first quarter 2009, it was a slight decline from $48.5 million in the fourth quarter 2009. In the commercial business, the company was awarded new contracts in the first quarter 2010 with total contract value totaling approximately $10.6 million.

 
·  
Gross margin was 21.8% in the first quarter of 2010, a decrease from 24.8% in the first quarter 2009.  The decrease was primarily due to our government segment and the wind-down of the U.S. Air National Guard contract which was a higher gross margin contract. On a sequential basis, gross margin decreased 1.2% from the 23.0% reported for the fourth quarter of 2009. The decrease in margin from the fourth quarter 2009 is due largely to the effect of higher employment taxes in the first quarter of 2010 and the impact of weather related closings of several Federal Government offices in Washington, D.C. during February 2010.
 
16

 
·  
Selling, General and Administrative (SG&A) expense was $10.6 million in both the first quarter of 2010 and the first quarter of 2009. SG&A as a percent of revenue increased to 22.2% for the first quarter 2010 from 18.9% for the first quarter of 2009. This increase is largely due to the effect of a decrease in revenue year-over-year without a proportional reduction in SG&A costs and an increase in professional fees. On a sequential basis, SG&A for the first quarter of 2010 was more consistent with the 21.5% reported for the fourth quarter of 2009.  In efforts to effectively manage its business and cost-structure of its commercial business, TechTeam completed a restructuring in the first quarter 2010, announced on March 29, 2010.
 
·  
The Company recorded a pre-tax charge of $3.1 million ($2.5 million net of tax) during the first quarter of 2010 as a result of a restructuring. The first quarter 2010 restructuring actions reduced certain redundant costs, eliminated excess capacity and supported the Company’s strategy to more tightly focus its business.  The Company will begin to realize cost-savings in the second quarter 2010 resulting from the restructuring.
 
·  
Cash provided by operations was $703,000 for the first quarter of 2010 compared to $7.2 million for the first quarter of 2009.  TechTeam ended the quarter with cash and debt balances of $14.2 million and $13.9 million, respectively.  The Company continued to pay down an additional $1.2 million of debt in the first quarter 2010 and maintained a net positive  cash position at the end of the quarter (total cash minus total bank debt).
 
In 2010, the Company continues to make progress toward its transformation into a truly global IT service provider with significant revenue diversification from its government business.
 
·  
Our Lean ITIL (Information Technology Infrastructure Library) business model demonstrates an improvement in our operational excellence, which is the foundation of our business.
 
·  
We continue the focused development of our Lean ITIL-based service desk expertise in the enterprise support services market, as the implementation of ITIL and Lean principles into our customer’s environment improves quality and lowers cost.
 
·  
We are extending our global reach by expanding into important, targeted geographies and by leveraging the strong relationships that we have with current global clients to provide services to them across geographies and in new markets.

Total Company revenue decreased $8.1 million, or 14.4%, to $48.0 million in the first quarter of 2010 from $56.1 million in the first quarter of 2009. The revenue decrease was across all segments and was driven primarily by the conclusion of customer contracts in the IT Outsourcing Services and Government Technology Services segments and a decrease in project based work due to the difficult economic environment. This decrease was partially offset by new customer contracts in the Americas and an approximate $1.4 million positive impact of exchange rates on foreign revenue. The foreign currency impact was calculated as if revenue generated in foreign currency was translated into U.S. dollars at the average exchange rates in effect during the first quarter of 2009. We are unable to predict the effect fluctuations in international currencies will have on revenue in 2010, but given the uncertain market environment and the effect on the U.S. dollar, there could be significant revenue volatility.
 
IT Outsourcing Services
 
Revenue from IT Outsourcing Services decreased $1.5 million, or 5.4%, to $26.2 million in the first quarter of 2010, from $27.7 million in the first quarter of 2009. The revenue decrease was primarily a result of the conclusion of customer contracts in Europe and the Americas and lower revenue from Ford partially offset by an increase in revenue in the Americas from new customer contracts and a positive impact of exchange rates on foreign currency revenue. The foreign currency impact approximated $1.1 million and was calculated as if IT Outsourcing revenue in foreign currency was translated into U.S. dollars at the average exchange rates in effect during the first quarter of 2009.
 
IT Outsourcing Services revenue generated from Ford globally decreased $3.5 million, or 45.0%, to $4.3 million in the first quarter of 2010 compared to $7.8 million in 2009. Revenue from Ford declined 22.3% in the Americas and 68.6% in Europe as a result of a decline in seats supported from a reduction in Ford’s workforce, the lower price in the contract renewal, the separation of Jaguar Land Rover from the Ford SPOC contract and the separation of Volvo Car Corporation from the global Ford IT programs, including the November 2009 SPOC contract. Please refer to our discussion of Ford in the “Significant Customers” section of MD&A.
 
IT Consulting and Systems Integration
 
Revenue from IT Consulting and Systems Integration decreased $1.0 million, or 25.2%, to $2.9 million in the first quarter of 2010, from $3.9 million in 2009. Revenue decreased in the Americas primarily from the wind-down of certain systems implementation and training projects in our hospitality business and our business with Dell through Ford.
 
18

Government Technology Services
 
Revenue from Government Technology Services decreased $5.1 million, or 25.0%, to $15.1 million in the first quarter of 2010, from $20.2 million in 2009, primarily due to the conclusion of the Company’s ANG contract on September 30, 2009. The work performed under the ANG contract was in-sourced to be performed by the U.S. Federal Government employees. The Company continues to provide service to ANG as a subcontractor to Harris Corporation who was awarded the work under the expiring contract that was not in-sourced and added some other positions. Accordingly, the new contract will produce significantly less revenue and gross margin than the expiring contract. Please refer to our discussion of the U.S. Federal Government in the “Significant Customers” section of MD&A.

Gross margin decreased to 21.8% for first quarter 2010 from 24.8% for first quarter 2009. The decrease in gross profit was driven mainly by the loss of ANG in the Government Technology Services segment and less project based work with higher margin accounts in the Company’s hospitality business.

Gross profit from IT Outsourcing Services decreased 8.0% to $6.0 million in the first quarter of 2010, from $6.5 million in 2009, and gross margin decreased to 22.7% from 23.3%. The decrease in gross profit was due to lower revenue and the loss of higher margin accounts in the second half of 2009. This decrease was offset by improved operating efficiencies.
 
IT Consulting and Systems Integration
 
Gross profit from IT Consulting and Systems Integration decreased 41.1% to $551,000 in the first quarter of 2010 from $936,000 in 2009, and gross margin decreased to 18.9% from 24.0% in 2009. Gross profit and gross margin decreased mainly due to less project based work with higher margin accounts in the Company’s hospitality business and less project based work throughout the Company due to the difficult economic environment.
 
Government Technology Services
 
Gross profit from our Government Technology Services segment decreased 44.0% to $3.0 million in the first quarter of 2010 from $5.4 million in 2009. The decrease in gross profit was mainly due to lower revenue, primarily from the conclusion of the Company’s ANG contract on September 30, 2009. Gross margin also decreased during the first quarter of 2010 to 20.1% from 26.9% in 2009.  The gross margin decrease was also primarily due from the conclusion of the ANG contract which provided higher margins. Please refer to our discussion of the U.S. Federal Government in the “Significant Customers” section of MD&A.

Americas
 
Revenue generated in the Americas decreased $1.7 million, or 9.4%, to $16.3 million in the first quarter of 2010, from $18.0 million in 2009. Revenue decreased mainly in IT Consulting and Systems Integration due to the wind-down of certain systems implementation and training projects in our hospitality business and our business with Dell through Ford. Revenue from IT Outsourcing Services experienced a decrease from the loss of two customers in the second half of 2009 and a decline in revenue earned from Ford, which was partially offset by an increase from new customers and expansion with existing customers. Gross margin from the Americas decreased to 19.8% for the first quarter of 2010 from 21.8% in 2009 mainly due to the lower revenue in the IT Consulting and Systems Integration segment.
 
Europe
 
Revenue generated in Europe decreased $1.3 million, or 7.5%, to $16.6 million in the first quarter of 2010 from $17.9 million in 2009, due to the conclusion of two customer contracts in the IT Outsourcing segment, and a decrease in our staffing business at SQM. This decrease was partially offset by an approximate $1.3 million positive impact from exchange rates on revenue. The foreign currency impact was calculated as if revenue in Europe in first quarter of 2010 were translated into U.S. dollars at the average exchange rates in effect during the first quarter of 2009. Despite a decrease in revenue, gross margin from Europe increased slightly to 25.5% in the first quarter of 2010, from 25.4% in 2009, primarily due to divesting of certain lower margin IT consulting and systems integration projects throughout Europe and improved operating efficiencies.

Selling, general, and administrative (“SG&A”) expense was $10.6 million for the first quarter of 2010 and 2009. Despite flat SG&A expense in dollars, SG&A expense as a percent of revenue increased to 22.2% in the first quarter of 2010, from 18.9% in 2009 largely due to the effect of a decrease in revenue year-over-year without a proportional reduction in SG&A costs, and an increase in professional fees.
 
On March 29, 2010 the Company announced a restructuring plan to enhance the effectiveness of the Commercial businesses global management team and reduce expenses in line with current business conditions. The restructuring plan was approved by the Company’s Board of Directors on March 23, 2010. The 2010 pre-tax restructuring charges amounted to $3.1 million, and were primarily related to separation costs for approximately 40 employees and reductions in excess leased facility capacity around the world.
 
Net interest expense was $187,000 in the first quarter of 2010, compared to $311,000 in 2009 a result of lower average outstanding long-term debt offset by lower interest income from lower average invested cash equivalents and lower interest rates.
 
For the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, the consolidated effective tax rates were 20.0% and 40.9%, respectively. The rate for March 31, 2010 differs from the statutory tax rate of 34% primarily due to foreign operating losses for which a tax benefit is not recorded, state income taxes, and nondeductible expenses. The level of foreign operating losses was increased during the quarter because a significant portion of the Company’s restructuring charge was incurred in countries with historical operating losses. The rate for March 31, 2009 differs from the statutory rate of 34% primarily due to state income taxes, foreign operating losses for which a tax benefit is not recorded, and nondeductible expenses.
 
Significant Customers
 
We conduct business under multiple contracts with various entities within the Ford organization and with various agencies and departments of the U.S. Federal Government. Ford accounted for 11.0% and 15.8% of our total revenue in the first quarter of 2010 and 2009, respectively. The U.S. Federal Government accounted for 27.6% and 32.8% of our total revenue in the first quarter of 2010 and 2009, respectively. Agencies within the U.S. Department of Defense in the aggregate comprised approximately 13.4% and 19.9% of our total revenue in the first quarter of 2010 and 2009, respectively.
 
 
Ford Motor Company
 
Our business with Ford consists of service desk and desk side services, technical staffing, and network management. Revenue generated through our business with Ford decreased to $5.3 million in the first quarter of 2010 from $8.9 million in the first quarter of 2009. The decline in revenue is attributable to a number of factors, including: (a) seat count and volume declines within the Ford environment; (b) the effects of the entry into the three-year renewal of the Global Single Point of Contact ("SPOC") contract, which resulted in a change of the service delivery and pricing model as discussed below; (c) the divestiture of Jaguar Land Rover (“JLR”) from the Ford family of companies (we continue to provide services to JLR under a direct contract); (d) the termination of the Company’s contract with Dell, Inc. under which the Company provided systems integration services to Ford as a subcontractor to Dell; and (e) the separation of Volvo Car Corporation from the global Ford IT programs, including the SPOC contract on November 1, 2009.
 
21

On December 23, 2008, the Company executed a new SPOC contract, under which TechTeam provides support services to Ford's information technology infrastructure. Under the SPOC contract, TechTeam provides service desk, deskside support, service management, infrastructure management, and identity and access management services to Ford in North America, Western Europe, and Asia. The contract renewal provides for a significant change in the service delivery model. These changes include the transition and centralization of service for English speaking Ford personnel to our operations in the Philippines, the transition of service for German speaking Ford personnel to Romania, and an enhanced centralized remote deskside support management function. This transition was completed in 2009.
 
Under the existing SPOC contract, we provide these infrastructure support services under specific service level metrics, and we invoice Ford based upon the number of seats we support. The number of seats supported is determined bi-annually on February 1 and August 1 of each year. If certain contractual conditions are met, Ford and TechTeam have the right during each six month period to request one out-of-cycle seat adjustment. We do not believe the revenue decline will continue in 2010, as we believe that we are well-positioned to expand the SPOC program into Latin America, Canada and Asia during 2010.
 
 
U.S. Federal Government
 
We conduct business under multiple contracts with various agencies and departments of the U.S. Federal Government. Revenue generated through our business with the U.S. Federal Government decreased to $13.3 million in the first quarter of 2010, from $18.4 million in 2009.
 
The results of our Government business have been impacted by the difficult government contracting environment created by the budget constraints our customers faced. As a result of this environment, many customers have delayed procurement actions. In turn, we have experienced delays in our expected new business development. Despite being informed that we were not selected as prime contractor for the Business Transformation Agency (“BTA”) of the Department of Defense, we continue to provide service to the BTA as a subcontractor.
 
As previously reported, our contract for the Air National Guard (“ANG”) ended on September 30, 2009. ANG in-sourced the majority of the work performed under the expiring contract.  ANG did award a new contract to Harris Corporation, with the Company as a subcontractor, which covered the work under the expiring contract that was not in-sourced and additional positions. Accordingly, the new contract will produce significantly less revenue and gross margin than the expiring contract. Specifically, had the Company been delivering service under the new contract for the three months ended March 31, 2009, total U.S. Federal Government revenue would have been reduced on a net basis by approximately 14.2%.
 
 
New Accounting Pronouncements
 
In February 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2010-09, “Subsequent Events (Topic 855): Amendments to Certain Recognition and Disclosure Requirements,” which amends ASC 855. ASU No. 2010-09 confirms the guidance in ASC 855 for SEC filers to match subsequent event guidance issued by the SEC. The adoption of ASU No. 2010-09 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
 
In January 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-06, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820),” which amends the FASB’s ASC 820. ASC No. 2010-06 requires disclosures of significant transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. ASU NO 2010-06 further requires entities to report, on a gross basis, activity in the Level 3 fair value measurement reconciliation beginning on January 1, 2011. The adoption of ASU No. 2010-06 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
Cash and cash equivalents were $14.2 million at March 31, 2010, as compared to $19.9 million at December 31, 2009. Cash and cash equivalents decreased $1.8 million in the first quarter of 2010 as a result of $1.2 million in payment to reduce long-term debt offset by $703,000 in cash provided by operations.
 
Net cash from operating activities for the first quarter of 2010 provided cash of $703,000 compared to $7.2 million in the first quarter of 2009. Net cash provided from operations for the first quarter of 2010 was primarily due to a net loss of $2.7 million, adjusted for depreciation/amortization expense of $1.4 million and non-cash stock based compensation expense of $608,000. Net changes in operating assets and liabilities of $1.3 million also contributed to cash provided by operating activities. The net changes in operating assets and liabilities as of March 31, 2010 were primarily related to an increase in accrued expenses and accrued payroll of $2.9 million principally driven by the timing of payments and the restructuring charge in the first quarter of 2010. This was partially offset by an increase in prepaid accounts and a decrease in accrued taxes due to timing of payments. The cash generated from these operating cash flow improvements was primarily used to pay down debt.
 
Cash provided by operations for the first quarter of 2009 was primarily due to net income of $1.6 million, adjusted for net changes in operating assets and liabilities of $3.3 million, depreciation/amortization expense and non-cash stock based compensation expense of $1.7 million and $568,000, respectively. The net changes in operating assets and liabilities as of March 31, 2009 were primarily related to a decrease in accounts receivable of $6.3 million due to increased collection efforts. This decrease was partially offset by a decrease in accrued expenses and accrued payroll of $2.8 million due to timing of payments.
 
Net cash used in investing activities was $260,000 and $797,000 for the first quarter of 2010 and 2009, respectively. Net cash used in investing activities during the first quarter of 2010 and 2009 were used to purchase equipment and software and to make payments to the selling shareholders of prior acquisitions for achieving financial performance targets. Capital expenditures were $135,000 and $671,000 respectively, for the first quarter of 2010 and 2009.
 
Net cash used in financing activities was $1.3 million and $3.2 million for the first quarter 2010 and 2009, respectively. Net cash used in financing activities for both periods was primarily due to a higher pay down of debt.
 
Long-term cash requirements, other than for normal operating expenses, are anticipated for continued global expansion, enhancements of existing technologies, possible repurchases of our common stock and the possible acquisition of businesses complementary to our existing businesses. In light of the Company’s cash flow and the amendment to the Credit Agreement, we believe that cash flows from operations, together with existing cash balances and the existing credit facility, will continue to be sufficient to meet our ongoing operational requirements for the next twelve months and foreseeable future. We have historically not paid dividends, and we are restricted from doing so under our Credit Agreement. Market conditions may limit our sources of funds available, and the terms of such financings for these activities to the extent financing is desirable or necessary.
