Locum tenens staffing segment cost of revenue decreased 17% to $48.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010 from $58.4 million for the same period in 2009. Of the $10.2 million decrease, $8.8 million was attributable to a decrease in the number of days filled by healthcare professionals during the three months ended June 30, 2010, and $1.4 million was attributable to the net effect of an increasing percentage of our days filled being attributable to lower pay rate specialties, partially offset by an increase in the average daily rate paid to healthcare professionals.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased 8% to $34.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010 from $37.8 million for the same period in 2009. The decrease was primarily due to lower employee and office related expenses as a result of cost-reduction actions taken throughout 2009 and reduced bad debt expense resulting from favorable collection trends on previously reserved outstanding receivables. The decrease was partially offset by additional business development costs incurred during the three months ended June 30, 2010 and the prior year quarter including a $2.6 million actuarial based professional liability reserve reduction. Included in selling, general and administrative expenses is unallocated corporate overhead, which, excluding stock-based compensation expense, were $7.0 million and $5.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

We expect to amend and extend our current Term B loan and increase its balance by an estimated $68.0 million to $175.0 million and issue a second lien term loan of $50.0 million.
