The increase in expense primarily reflects higher interest rates resulting from the Company s debt refinancing in February 2010, offset partially by lower debt balances. In addition, interest expense in the second quarter of 2010 included a $1.7 million write-off of deferred debt financing fees associated with $70 million of bank term debt repaid during the quarter, while the 2009 quarter included a similar $0.4 million of deferred fee write-off related to a bank amendment.
The Company reported income from continuing operations in the first six months of 2010 of $5.3 million, or $0.06 per share, compared to $4.3 million, or $0.05 per share, for the same period in 2009.
