Asian revenue increased by $315 to $1,438 for the three months ended December 31, 2010, an increase of 28.1% compared with the same prior year period. The impact of the foreign exchange rate on Asian revenue for the three months ended December 31, 2010 was inconsequential compared with the same prior year period.

Income taxes. We recorded an income tax provision of $223 for the three months ended December 31, 2010, compared with an income tax benefit of $1,227 for the same prior year period. The tax provision for the three months ended December 31, 2010 was comprised primarily of tax expense related to pre-tax income in certain of our international jurisdictions, partially offset by an additional tax benefit of $188 in France applied for and refunded during the quarter. The tax benefit for the three months ended December 31, 2009 was principally impacted by the tax benefits related to pre-tax losses in certain of our foreign jurisdictions and a tax law change which resulted in an additional tax benefit of $1,103. Based upon managements assessment of the realizability of the Companys deferred tax assets in the U.S., U.K., and Asia, a full valuation allowance continued to be recorded at December 31, 2010.

Interest expense. Interest expense was $785 or 1.0% of total revenue for the six months ended December 31, 2010, compared with $1,036 or 1.2% of total revenue for the same prior year period.

Income taxes. We recorded an income tax benefit of $165 for the six months ended December 31, 2010, compared with an income tax benefit of $1,476 for the same prior year period. The tax benefit for the six months ended December 31, 2010 was driven primarily by an additional tax benefit of $188 in France applied for and refunded during the second quarter. The tax benefit for the six months ended December 31, 2009 was principally impacted by tax benefits related to pre-tax losses in certain of our foreign jurisdictions and a tax law change which resulted in an additional tax benefit of $1,103.
