Highlight of Business Operations:

Subscription Revenue. Subscription revenue decreased 6% to $24.5 million in the three months ended March 31, 2010 from $26.0 million in the three months ended March 31, 2009. Subscription revenue decreased approximately $3.9 million primarily due to decreases in our average revenue per subscriber as compared to the prior year, which was slightly offset by additional subscription revenue of $1.3 million and approximately $900 thousand from our recent acquisitions and increases in average customers, respectively. The decrease in average revenue per subscriber was mainly due to the addition of lower revenue subscribers from our Do-It-Yourself website building and hosting products as well as a reduction in spending by our enterprise partner subscribers.

Professional Services Revenue. Professional services revenue increased 17% to $648 thousand in the three months ended March 31, 2010 from $553 thousand in the three months ended March 31, 2009.
