In the first six months of 2010, we generated nearly 41% of our consolidated net revenues in countries outside the United States. Because we generate a significant portion of our consolidated net revenues from our international operations, movements in foreign currency exchange rates affect our reported results. We estimate that changes in foreign currency exchange rates during the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 increased our consolidated net revenues by approximately $1.1 million and $5.9 million, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2009. We estimate that changes in foreign currency exchange rates decreased our consolidated net revenues by $1.8 million during the three months ended June 30, 2010, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2010, and without this foreign currency pressure, our consolidated net revenues would have been $146.4 million in the three months ended June 30, 2010.

We have experienced revenue declines in our broadcast fax services, primarily as a result of decreased volume and average selling price, partially offset by fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. Net revenue from these services in the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 was $9.6 million and $10.9 million, respectively. Net revenue from these services in the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 was $19.3 million and $22.3 million, respectively. Although we intend to continue to convert these customers to our alternative solutions, we expect this overall revenue decline to continue.

Our new credit facility includes a $75.0 million accordion feature, which allows for additional credit commitments up to a maximum of $400.0 million, subject to its term and conditions. See Capital resources for a description of our new credit facility.
