Highlight of Business Operations:

Revenues from Services. Revenues increased by $20.0 million, or 43.4%, to $65.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and increased by $34.7 million, or 25.5%, to $170.8 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2012, compared to $46.0 million and $136.2 million for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2011, respectively. The increase in revenues included $17.3 million and $27.9 million of revenue from ComSource in the three and nine months ended March 31, 2012, respectively, along with an increase in our access service offering primarily in the government marketplace.

Costs from Services. Costs from services increased by $15.5 million, or 48.9%, to $47.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and increased by $21.2 million, or 22.1%, to $117.0 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2012, compared to $31.7 million and $95.8 million for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2011, respectively. Gross margin decreased to 28.4% of revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and increased to 31.5% of revenues for the nine months ended March 31, 2012, compared to 31.1% and 29.7% for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2011, respectively. The decrease in gross margin for the three months ended March 31, 2012, is due to a large equipment sale in ComSource at lower margin. The increase in the gross margin for the nine months ended March 31, 2012 was primarily driven by an increase in revenue in the government marketplace partially offset by the significant equipment sale in ComSource. The increase in gross margin in the services segment has been a key driver in the increase in our consolidated income from operations. The future relationship between the revenue and margin growth of our operating segments will depend on a variety of factors, including the timing of major contracts, which are difficult to predict.

Costs from infrastructure solutions increased by $27.2 million, or 211.3%, to $40.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and increased by $54.5 million, or 135.9%, to $94.5 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2012, compared to $12.9 million and $40.1 million for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2011, respectively. The gross margin decreased to 11.0% in the three and nine months ended March 31, 2012, compared to 22.1% and 19.5% for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2011, respectively. The decrease in gross margin was mainly attributable to significant revenue from Contract A, which
