Highlight of Business Operations:

Net loss in the second quarter of 2011 was $20.1 million or $0.06 per share (basic and diluted), compared with net earnings of $64.1 million or $0.17 per basic share and $0.16 per diluted share in the second quarter of 2010. For the first six months of 2011, net loss was $44.2 million or $0.12 per share (basic and diluted), compared with net earnings of $109.7 million or $0.28 per share (basic and diluted) in the first six months of 2010. The net loss in both periods was driven by lower revenue and gross profit margin and higher operating expenses.

On a geographic basis, revenue from customers outside North America grew to $157.0 million (or 47% of total revenue), up 69.5% from $92.6 million (or 22% of total revenue) as revenue increased in all geographic regions outside North America. Revenue from customers in North America (United States and Canada) was $177.2 million (or 53% of total revenue), compared with $330.2 million (or 78% of total revenue). Revenue concentration from our two major customers was 33% in the second quarter, lower than the prior quarter. The decrease in revenue was driven primarily by lower revenue for data and digital cross-connect systems from a major North American carrier.

On a geographic basis, revenue from customers outside North America grew to $304.3 million (or 46% of total revenue) up 53.8% from $197.8 million (or 25% of total revenue) as revenue increased in all geographic regions outside North America. Revenue from customers in North America was $352.3 million (or 54% of total revenue), compared with $604.2 million (or 75% of total revenue). Revenue concentration from our two major customers was 34% in the first six months of 2011, lower than the prior year period. The decrease in revenue was driven primarily by lower revenue for data and digital cross-connect systems from a major North American carrier.

Revenue from our growth portfolio was $397.2 million (or 60% of total revenue), compared with $458.5 million (or 57% of total revenue). Our core portfolio accounted for $259.4 million (or 40% of total revenue), compared with $343.5 million (or 43% of total revenue).

For the second quarter of 2011, we reported a tax benefit of $3.3 million, compared with a tax expense of $20.3 million for the second quarter of 2010. In the second quarter we recorded a benefit of $2.8 million related to the resolution of an Internal Revenue Service audit of the 2007 and 2008 tax years. Excluding this benefit, tax expense decreased due to losses from domestic operations and a decline in income from foreign operations, partially offset by a valuation allowance on domestic deferred tax assets.

For the first six months of 2011, we reported a tax benefit of $9.1 million, compared with a tax expense of $16.7 million for the first six months of 2010. In the first six months of 2011, a benefit of $6.2 million was recorded from the reversal of tax accruals no longer required due to settlement of tax audits and the expiration of a statute of limitations, compared with a similar benefit of $13.3 million in the first six months of 2010. Excluding these benefits, tax expense declined due to losses from domestic operations and a decline in income from foreign operations, partially offset by a valuation allowance on domestic deferred tax assets.
