This decrease was primarily due to a decrease in trade show advertising costs of $81,000 because we held fewer trade shows during the first quarter of 2010.
General and administrative expenses consist primarily of payroll and benefit costs for administrative personnel, office-related costs and professional fees. General and administrative expenses were $5.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and $1.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010, representing a decrease of 69%.

The primary reason for the reduction in employee-related costs, professional fees and insurance-related costs was due to cost reduction efforts initiated in conjunction with the sales of our Online images and Internet.com businesses and the decreased size of the continuing business. The decrease in office-related costs was due to the termination of our Darien, Connecticut office lease during the second quarter of 2009.
We recorded a benefit for income taxes of $2.9 million during the three months ended March 31, 2009, which consisted primarily of a net tax benefit of $2.9 million recorded on the reclassification of the fair value adjustments on the interest rate swap from other comprehensive income to loss from continuing operations. We recorded a provision for income taxes of $3,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2010.
