Highlight of Business Operations:

Revenues from Services. Revenues increased by $13.7 million, or 40.8%, to $47.3 million for the three months ended December 31, 2010 and increased by $28.0 million, or 45.1%, to $90.2 million for the six months ended December 31, 2010, compared to $33.6 million and $62.2 million for the three and six months ended December 31, 2009, respectively. The increase in revenues for the three and six months ended December 31, 2010 was due to an increase in our access service offering primarily in the government marketplace, along with $5.0 million and $9.3 million, respectively, of revenue from C2C and Evocomm.

On May 28, 2010, we entered into Amendment No.4 to our committed secured credit facility with Citibank, N.A. The credit facility has been extended and expires on May 26, 2011. The credit facility is comprised of a $65 million line of credit (the Line) and a foreign exchange line in the amount of $15 million. The Line includes the following sublimits: (a) $30 million available for standby letters of credit; (b) $20 million available for commercial letters of credit; (c) a line for up to two term loans, each having a term of no more than five years, in the aggregate amount of up to $40 million that can be used for acquisitions; and (d) $10 million available for revolving credit borrowings. At our discretion, advances under the Line bear interest at the prime rate or LIBOR plus applicable margin based on the Companys leverage ratio and are collateralized by a first priority security interest on all of the personal property of the Company. At December 31, 2010, the applicable margin on the LIBOR rate was 250 basis points. The Company is required to comply with various ongoing financial covenants, including with respect to the Companys leverage ratio, liquidity ratio, minimum cash balance, debt service ratio, EBITDA minimums and minimum capital base, with which the Company was in compliance at December 31, 2010. As of December 31, 2010, $10.6 million was outstanding under the Acquisition Loan, of which $2.5 million was due within one year. In addition there were standby letters of credit of approximately $8.4 million, which were applied against and reduced the amounts available under the credit facility as of December 31, 2010.
