Total net revenues were $2,086,694 for Y2-11 as compared to $2,007,701 for Y2-10, an increase of $78,993 or 4% and $1,115,821 for Q2-11 as compared to $938,435 for Q2-10, an increase of $177,386, or 19%. The increase in net revenue for Y2-11 as compared to Y2-10 was primarily due to the result of a $194,539 increase in Intellectual Property revenue offset by a $115,546 decrease in Ad Sales revenue. The increase in net revenue for Q2-11 as compared to Q2-10 is primarily the result of a $253,954 increase in Intellectual Property revenue offset by a $76,208 decrease in Ad Sales revenue.

Ad Sales division net revenues were $1,397,571 for Y2-11 as compared to $1,513,117 for Y2-10, a decrease of $115,546 or 8%, and such net revenues were $655,346 for Q2-11 as compared to $731,554 for Q2-10, a decrease of $76,208 or 10%. The decrease in Ad Sales net revenues for Y2-11 as compared to Y2-10 is attributable primarily to a decrease in U.K. advertising sales of $115,546, which includes: a decrease in plasma advertising revenue of $70,859 and a decrease of $44,687 in brochure and web advertising. The decrease in Ad Sales net revenues for Q2-11 as compared to Q2-10 was primarily attributable to a decrease in U.K. advertising sales of $76,208, which includes: a decrease in plasma advertising revenue of $37,532 and a decrease of $38,676 in brochure and web advertising. These decreases are primarily attributable to the adverse economic conditions in the U.K.

Net revenues from our Intellectual Properties division were $689,123 for Y2-11 as compared to $494,584 for Y2-10, an increase of 39% or $194,539, and such net revenues were $460,475 for Q2-11 as compared to $206,881 for Q2-10, an increase of 123% or $253,594. The increase in net revenues from our Intellectual Properties division in Y2-11 as compared to Y2-10 and Q2-11 as compared to Q2-10 was attributable to the timing of royalty payments received. The Intellectual Properties division generates revenues from several different activities including intellectual property licensing and book development. Revenues vary quarter to quarter depending on the timing of delivery of manuscripts to the publishers. Revenues are recognized when the earnings process is complete and the ultimate collection of such revenues is no longer subject to contingencies. This division does not include NetCo Partners, which is reported separately; see “Equity in Earnings (losses) of Unconsolidated Investees” below.
