With respect this Management Discussion & Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation and the analysis of the three and six month revenue trends including the actual realized level of demand for our products during the immediately foreseeable future.

During the three months ended June 30, 2012 our total operating revenues increased $5.4 million or 13%, to $47.7 million as compared to $42.3 million during the second quarter of 2011. The Company continues to effectively leverage product cross-selling opportunities across all channels, as facilitated by our business acquisitions. Also partially effecting reported revenues was the impact from fluctuations in the exchange rates of the foreign currencies in the countries in which we conduct operations. During the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 the change in foreign currency exchange rates (decreased)/increased reported consolidated operating revenues by approximately $(1.0) million and $1.7 million, respectfully.

During the six months ended June 30, 2012 our total operating revenues increased $9.2 million or 11%, to $91.5 million as compared to $82.3 million during the same period in 2011. During this period $12.2 million of operating revenue was recognized in connection with our 2011 acquisition of ADAM and included in the Company's revenues reported in its condensed and consolidated statement of income. Correspondingly included in the Company's revenues as reported in its condensed and consolidated statement of income for the six months ended June 30, 2011 was $10.6 million of ADAM's operating revenue since the February 7, 2011 effective date of its acquisition. In regards to the acquisitions of PlanetSoft and ADAM on a pro forma basis, as presented in the table in Note 3 to the enclosed condensed and consolidated financial statements, combined revenues increased 6% for the six months ended June 30, 2012, as compared to an 11% increase in reported revenues for the same period. Also partially effecting reported revenues was the impact from fluctuations in the exchange rates of the foreign currencies in the countries in which we conduct operations. During the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 the change in foreign currency exchange rates (decreased)/increased reported consolidated operating revenues by approximately $(633) thousand and $2.8 million, respectfully.

Costs of services provided, increased $2.0 million or 12% during the six months ended June 30, 2012 to $18.2 million as compared to $16.2 million incurred during the same period in 2011. This increase is due to additional personnel costs and professional services expenses in support of our increased revenue streams from the growth of our Exchange channel and from recent business acquisitions completed during last nine months.

Our cash and cash equivalents were $25.3 million and $23.7 million at June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively. Our cash and cash equivalents balance has increased by $1.6 million since year end 2011, as a result of both cash generated by our ongoing operating activities and funds provided by our new financing facility with Citi Bank. The Company holds material cash and cash equivalent balances overseas in foreign jurisdictions. The free flow of cash from certain countries where we hold such balances may be subject to repatriation tax effects and other restrictions. Furthermore, the repatriation of earnings from some of our foreign subsidiaries would result in the application of withholding taxes at source as well as a tax at the U.S. parent level upon receipt of the repatriated amounts. The approximate cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments balances held in our domestic U.S. operations and each of our foreign subsidiaries as of August 6, 2012 is presented in table below (figures denominated in thousands):
