Perceptive service revenue increased by $7.2 million, or 25.3%, to $35.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010 from $28.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2009. The increase was due primarily to a $5.7 million increase in our RTSM business and a $2.6 million increase in our other service offerings; partly offset by the $1.1 million negative impact of foreign currency fluctuations. The growth in Perceptive is due to increasing usage of technology in conjunction with clinical trials.
PCMS direct costs decreased by $1.4 million, or 7.4%, to $17.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010 from $18.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2009. This $1.4 million decline was due primarily to lower business activity in Medical Communications ($0.9 million), partially offset by $0.5 million related to the positive impact of foreign currency fluctuations. As a percentage of service revenue, PCMS direct costs decreased to 60.8% from 64.6% for the respective periods, as a result of improved productivity and efficiency.
Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expense increased by $7.3 million, or 13.0%, to $63.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010 from $56.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2009. This increase was due primarily to a $5.0 million increase in labor costs, a $1.5 million increase in facilities expenses, a $1.2 million increase in travel costs, and a $1.7 million increase in other areas, such as insurance and professional fees; partly offset by the $2.0 million positive impact of foreign exchange fluctuations. As a percentage of service revenue, SG&A remained essentially flat at 21.5% for the three months ended September 30, 2010 compared with 21.6% for the three months ended September 30, 2009.
Net cash used in operating activities during the three months ended September 30, 2010 totaled $103.6 million and consisted of a $113.2 million increase in accounts receivable (net of allowance for doubtful accounts and deferred revenue), a $12.9 million decrease in accounts payable and other current liabilities (including the payment of Fiscal Year 2010 bonuses), a $8.1 million increase in prepaid expenses and other current assets and $5.8 million related to deferred taxes and other tax accounts. These uses of cash were partially offset by $17.8 million of net income, $15.7 million for non-cash depreciation and amortization expense, $2.2 million related to non-cash charges for stock-based compensation, and a $0.7 million decrease in other assets. The large increase in the cash used in operating activities is due primarily to the short-term disruptions caused by the implementation of our new project accounting and billing system.
Net cash provided by operating activities for the three months ended September 30, 2009 totaled $14.4 million and was generated by net income of $12.4 million, non-cash charges for depreciation and amortization expense in the amount of $14.1 million, and $1.5 million related to non-cash charges for stock-based compensation. These sources of cash were offset by $13.6 million related to changes in operating assets and liabilities composed of a $9.2 million increase in accounts receivable (net of allowance for doubtful accounts and deferred revenue), a $6.9 million increase in prepaid expenses and other current assets, and a $5.2 million increase in other assets; offset by a $7.7 million increase in taxes payable and other long-term liabilities.
