NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(UNAUDITED)

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Primus Telecommunications Group, Incorporated and subsidiaries (the “Company” or “Primus”) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial reporting and Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) regulations. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such principles and regulations. In the opinion of management, the financial statements reflect all adjustments (all of which are of a normal and recurring nature), which are necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations, cash flows and comprehensive income (loss) for the interim periods. The results for the Company’s three months and six months ended June 30, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2011.

The results for all periods presented in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q reflect the activities of certain operations as discontinued operations (see Note 11 — “Discontinued Operations”).

The financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s most recently filed Form 10-K.

On June 23, 2011, the Company began to trade its common stock on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol “PTGI.” At that time, trading of its common stock on the OTC Bulletin Board under the ticker symbol “PMUG” ceased.

2. ACQUISITIONS

Arbinet Corporation Acquisition

On February 28, 2011, the Company completed its previously announced acquisition of Arbinet Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Arbinet”). Arbinet is a provider of wholesale telecom exchange services to carriers and the Company purchased Arbinet to supplement its existing International Carrier Services operations. Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of November 10, 2010, as amended by Amendment No. 1 dated December 14, 2010, by and among Primus, PTG Investments, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Primus (“Merger Sub”), and Arbinet, Merger Sub merged with and into Arbinet with Arbinet surviving the merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Primus.

Upon the closing of the merger, each share of Arbinet common stock was cancelled and converted into the right to receive 0.5817 shares of Primus common stock. Arbinet stockholders received cash in lieu of any fractional shares of Primus common stock that they were otherwise entitled to receive in the merger. In connection with the merger, Primus issued 3,232,812 shares of its common stock to former Arbinet stockholders in exchange for their shares of Arbinet common stock, and reserved for issuance approximately 95,000 additional shares of its common stock in connection with its assumption of Arbinet’s outstanding options, warrants, stock appreciation rights and restricted stock units.

The components of the consideration transferred follow (in thousands):


Consideration attributable to stock issued (1)	$	50,432
Consideration attributable to earned replaced equity awards (2)		177

Total consideration transferred	$	50,609

(1)	The fair value of the Company’s common stock on the acquisition date was $15.60 per share based on the closing value of its common stock traded on the over-the-counter bulletin board. The Company issued 3,232,812 shares of stock to effect this merger.

(2)

The portion of the acquisition fair value of Arbinet converted stock-based awards attributable to pre-merger employee service was part of consideration. At the merger closing 50% of the unvested and outstanding Arbinet awards vested. The portion of the fair value-based measure of the replaced awards assigned to past services (including those for which vesting accelerated at the merger closing and those that were already vested at the date of the merger closing) was included in the consideration transferred.

(UNAUDITED)

Preliminary Recording of Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed

The transaction was accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting which requires, among other things, that assets acquired and liabilities assumed be recognized at their estimated fair values as of the acquisition date.

Estimates of fair value included in the financial statements, in conformity with the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) No. 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” (“ASC 820”), represent the Company’s best estimates and valuations developed with the assistance of independent appraisers and, where the following have not yet been completed or are not available, industry data and trends and by reference to relevant market rates and transactions. The following estimates and assumptions are inherently subject to significant uncertainties and contingencies beyond the control of the Company. Accordingly, the Company cannot provide assurance that the estimates, assumptions, and values reflected in the valuations will be realized, and actual results could vary materially. In accordance with ASC No. 805, “Business Combinations,” (“ASC 805”), the allocation of the consideration value is subject to additional adjustment until the Company has completed its analysis. The Company’s analysis and any additional adjustments are required to be made by February 28, 2012, the one year anniversary of the date of the acquisition, which was February 28, 2011, to provide the Company with the time to complete the valuation of its assets and liabilities.

The following table summarizes the preliminary estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed (in thousands):


Cash & cash equivalents	$	12,415
Marketable securities		4,044
Accounts receivable		16,205
Other current assets		1,309
Property and equipment ⁽¹⁾		20,233
Intercompany receivable		309
Goodwill ⁽³⁾		19,360
Customer list ⁽²⁾		900
Other intangible assets		700
Other assets		1,738

Total assets acquired	$	77,213

Trade payables	$	18,280
Accrued interconnection costs		143
Accrued liabilities		2,312
Other current liabilities		3,182
Current portion of long-term obligations		68
Long-term obligations		99
Other long-term liabilities		2,520

Total liabilities assumed	$	26,604

Net assets acquired	$	50,609

(1)

Property and equipment were measured primarily using an income approach. The fair value measurements of the assets were based, in part, on significant inputs not observable in the market and thus represent a Level 3 measurement. The significant inputs included Arbinet resources, assumed future revenue profiles, weighted average cost of capital of 13.0 percent, gross margin at 7.2 percent and assumptions on the timing and amount of future development and operating costs. The property and equipment additions were segmented as part of a new stand-alone reporting unit which will be aggregated with International Carrier Services when integration activities are substantially complete.

(UNAUDITED)

(2)	Identifiable intangible assets and other assets were measured using a combination of an income approach and a market approach (Level 3). Identifiable intangible assets are subject to amortization and the customer list will be amortized over 15 years.

(3)

Goodwill was the excess of the consideration transferred over the net assets recognized and represents the future economic benefits, primarily as a result of expected synergies expected from the combination, arising from other assets acquired that could not be individually identified and separately recognized. Goodwill was recognized as part of a new stand-alone reporting unit which will be aggregated with International Carrier Services when integration activities are substantially complete. Goodwill is not amortized and is not deductible for tax purposes.

Arbinet Results and Pro Forma Impact of Merger

The following table presents revenues for Arbinet for the periods presented (in thousands):


	Three months ended June 30, 2011		Acquisition Date through June 30, 2011
Net revenue	$	73,134	$	99,914

The Company incurred a total of $1.7 million in transaction costs related to the merger. Transaction-related costs were expensed as incurred except for $1.0 million of costs incurred to issue common stock to effect the merger which were recorded as an offset to additional paid in capital. The transaction-related costs recognized in the line item “selling, general, and administrative expenses,” in the condensed consolidated statement of operations during the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 were zero and $0.2 million, respectively. The fair value of the total consideration paid for the assets acquired and liabilities assumed increased significantly from the date of the merger agreement, November 10, 2010, to the closing date February 28, 2011. This event triggered the Company to perform a Step 1 impairment test as related to the goodwill which arose from this acquisition. See Note 4 — “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,” for more details on the testing. The results of the Step 1 and Step 2 tests required the Company to recognize $14.7 million of impairment expense during the three months ended March 31, 2011. The following table presents pro forma information for the Company as if the merger of Arbinet had occurred at the beginning of each period presented (in thousands, except for per share amounts):


	Three months ended June 30,

The historical financial information was adjusted to give effect to the pro forma events that were directly attributable to the merger and factually supportable. The unaudited pro forma consolidated results are not necessarily indicative of what the consolidated results of operations actually would have been had the Company completed the merger on January 1, 2011 or January 1, 2010. In addition, the unaudited pro forma consolidated results do not purport to project the future results of operations of the combined company.

Incentive Program

Under the terms of the merger agreement, outstanding Arbinet stock-based awards were converted into Primus stock-based awards based on the merger exchange ratio. The converted Arbinet awards, granted under Arbinet’s 1997 and 2004 Stock Incentive Plans, include restricted stock awards, stock options, stock appreciation rights and restricted stock units. The grant date for the converted Arbinet awards is considered to be the closing date of the merger for purposes of calculating fair value. The maximum term of the Arbinet awards is ten years. No additional awards will be issued under either Arbinet plan.

Unlimitel Inc. and HMNET Technologies, Inc. Acquisitions

During the first quarter of 2011 one of the Company’s Canadian subsidiaries completed the acquisitions of the customer base and fixed assets of Unlimitel Inc. (“Unlimitel”) and HMNet Technologies Inc. (“HMNet”), both commercial VoIP providers. The total consideration transferred to complete the acquisitions was approximately $3.1 million. The cash payments associated with the acquisitions are as follows: $1.0 million was paid upon closing, $0.3 million was paid during the second quarter of 2011, $1.4 million is payable upon the one-year anniversary of the closing date, and $0.4 million is payable upon the two-year anniversary of the closing date.

The table below sets forth the final Unlimitel and HMNet purchase price allocation (in thousands). The purchase price allocation resulted in goodwill of $1.8 million. The valuation of intangible assets was evaluated using Level 3 inputs.

The customer relationships above are subject to amortization and have a useful life of five years. The useful life of the customer relationships was estimated at the time of the acquisition based on the period of time from which the Company expects to derive benefits from the customer relationships. The identifiable intangible assets are amortized using the pattern of benefits method, which results in accelerated amortization in the early periods of the useful life.

Goodwill from the Company’s Unlimitel and HMNet acquisitions was the excess of the consideration transferred over the net assets recognized, which represents the value of acquired employees along with the expected synergies from the combination of Unlimitel Inc. and HMNet Technologies Inc. and the Company’s operations. Goodwill resulting from the acquisition of Unlimitel Inc. and HMNet Technologies Inc. is not deductible for tax purposes.

Hyperlink Australia Pty Ltd. Acquisition

During the first quarter of 2011 one of the Company’s Australian subsidiaries completed the acquisition of the customer relationships and fixed assets of Hyperlink Australia Pty Ltd. (“Hyperlink”), a managed data center services provider. The total consideration transferred to complete the acquisition of Hyperlink totaled $1.5 million which included cash paid of $0.8 million and routine working capital adjustments of $0.7 million.

The table below sets forth the final Hyperlink purchase price allocation (in thousands). The fair value of the property and equipment were determined based on Level 3 inputs. The valuation of intangible assets was evaluated using Level 3 inputs.

The customer relationships above are subject to amortization and have a useful life of three years. The useful life of the customer relationships was estimated at the time of the acquisition based on the period of time from which the Company expects to derive benefits from the customer relationships. The identifiable intangible assets are amortized using the pattern of benefits method, which results in accelerated amortization in the early periods of the useful life.

3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Principles of Consolidation — The consolidated financial statements include the Company’s accounts, its wholly-owned subsidiaries and all other subsidiaries over which the Company exerts control. The Company owns 45.6% of Globility Communications Corporation (GCC) through direct and indirect ownership structures. GCC paid a dividend in April 2011, of which $1.2 million was attributable to the noncontrolling interest shareholder. The results of GCC and its subsidiary are consolidated with the Company’s results based on guidance from ASC No. 810, “Consolidation,” (“ASC 810”). All intercompany profits, transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

Discontinued Operations — During 2010 the Company classified its European retail operations as discontinued operations. The Company has applied retrospective adjustments to the three months and six months ended June 30, 2010 to reflect the effects of the discontinued operations that occurred subsequent to June 30, 2010. Accordingly, revenue, costs, and expenses of the discontinued operations have been excluded from the respective captions in the consolidated statements of operations. See Note 11 —“Discontinued Operations,” for further information.

(UNAUDITED)

Property and Equipment — Property and equipment are recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation, which is provided on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Cost includes major expenditures for improvements and replacements which extend useful lives or increase capacity of the assets as well as expenditures necessary to place assets into readiness for use. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. The estimated useful lives of property and equipment are as follows: network equipment — 5 to 8 years, fiber optic and submarine cable — 8 to 25 years, furniture and equipment — 5 years, and leasehold improvements and leased equipment — shorter of lease or useful life. Costs for internal use software that are incurred in the preliminary project stage and in the post-implementation stage are expensed as incurred. Costs incurred during the application development stage are capitalized and amortized over the estimated useful life of the software.

Business Combinations — The Company is required to allocate the purchase price of acquired companies to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values. This valuation requires management to make significant estimates and assumptions, especially with respect to intangible assets. Critical estimates in valuing certain of the intangible assets and subsequently assessing the realizability of such assets include, but are not limited to, future expected cash flows from the revenues, customer contracts and discount rates. Management’s estimates of fair value are based on assumptions believed to be reasonable but which are inherently uncertain and unpredictable. Assumptions may be incomplete or inaccurate and unanticipated events and circumstances may occur.

Other estimates associated with the accounting for these acquisitions and subsequent assessment of impairment of the assets may change as additional information becomes available regarding the assets acquired and liabilities assumed.

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets — Under ASC No. 350, “Intangibles — Goodwill and Other,” (“ASC 350”), goodwill and indefinite lived intangible assets are not amortized but are reviewed annually for impairment, or more frequently, if impairment indicators arise. Intangible assets that have finite lives are amortized over their estimated useful lives and are subject to the provisions of ASC No. 360, “Property, Plant and Equipment,” (“ASC 360”).

Goodwill impairment is tested at least annually (October 1 for the Company) or when factors indicate potential impairment using a two-step process that begins with an estimation of the fair value of each reporting unit. Step 1 is a screen for potential impairment by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. The estimated fair value of each reporting unit is compared to its carrying value. The Company estimates the fair values of each reporting unit by a combination of (i) estimation of the discounted cash flows of each of the reporting units based on projected earnings in the future (the income approach) and (ii) a comparative analysis of revenue and EBITDA multiples of public companies in similar markets (the market approach). If there is a deficiency (the estimated fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value), a Step 2 test is required.

Step 2 measures the amount of impairment loss, if any, by comparing the implied fair value of the reporting unit goodwill with its carrying amount. The implied fair value of goodwill is determined in the same manner as the amount of goodwill recognized in a business combination is determined; through an allocation of the fair value of a reporting unit to all of the assets and liabilities of that unit as if the reporting unit had been acquired in a business combination. If the carrying amount of the reporting unit goodwill exceeds the implied fair value of that goodwill, an impairment loss shall be recognized in an amount equal to that excess.

The Company’s reporting units are the same as its operating segments, except as discussed in Note 4 related to Arbinet, as each segment’s components have been aggregated and deemed a single reporting unit because they have similar economic characteristics. Each component is similar in that they each provide telecommunications services for which all of the resources and costs are drawn from the same pool, and are evaluated using the same business factors by management.

Estimating the fair value of a reporting unit requires various assumptions including projections of future cash flows, perpetual growth rates and discount rates. The assumptions about future cash flows and growth rates are based on the Company’s assessment of a number of factors, including the reporting unit’s recent performance against budget, performance in the market that the reporting unit serves, as well as industry and general economic data from third party sources. Discount rate assumptions are based on an assessment of the risk inherent in those future cash flows. Changes to the underlying businesses could affect the future cash flows, which in turn could affect the fair value of the reporting unit.

Intangible assets not subject to amortization consist of trade names. Such indefinite lived intangible assets are tested for impairment annually, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired. The impairment test shall consist of a comparison of the fair value of an intangible asset with its carrying amount. If the carrying amount of the intangible asset exceeds its fair value an impairment loss shall be recognized in an amount equal to the excess.

PRIMUS TELECOMMUNICATIONS GROUP, INCORPORATED

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – CONTINUED

(UNAUDITED)

Intangible assets subject to amortization consist of certain trade names and customer relationships. These finite lived intangible assets are amortized based on their estimated useful lives. Such assets are subject to the impairment provisions of ASC 360, wherein impairment is recognized and measured only if there are events and circumstances that indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. The carrying amount is not recoverable if it exceeds the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset group. An impairment loss is recorded if after determining that it is not recoverable, the carrying amount exceeds the fair value of the asset.

Derivative Instruments — Pursuant to the terms of the Company’s 2009 bankruptcy reorganization (the “Reorganization Plan”), the Company issued to holders of the Company’s common stock prior to the effectiveness of the Reorganization Plan contingent value rights (“CVRs”) to receive up to an aggregate of 2,665,000 shares (the “CVR Shares”) of the Company’s common stock. In connection with the issuance of the CVRs, the Company entered into a Contingent Value Rights Distribution Agreement (the “CVR Agreement”), in favor of holders of CVRs thereunder, dated as of July 1, 2009.

Due to the nature of the CVRs, the Company accounted for the instrument in accordance with ASC No. 815, “Derivatives and Hedging,” as well as related interpretations of this standard. The Company determined the CVRs to be derivative instruments to be accounted for as liabilities and marked to fair value at each balance sheet date. Upon issuance, the Company estimated the fair value of its CVRs using a Black-Scholes pricing model and consequently recorded a liability of $2.6 million in the balance sheet caption “other liabilities” as part of fresh-start accounting. The change in value is reflected in the condensed consolidated statements of operations as gain (loss) from contingent value rights valuation. The Company’s estimates of fair value of its CVRs are correlated to and reflective of the Company’s common stock price trends; in general, as the value of the Company’s common stock increases, the estimated fair value of the CVRs also increases and, as a result, the Company recognizes a change in value of its CVRs as loss from contingent value rights valuation. Conversely and also in general, as the value of the Company’s common stock decreases, the estimated fair value of the CVRs also decreases and as a result the Company would recognize a change in value of the CVRs as gain from contingent value rights valuation. See Note 9 — “Fair Value of Financial Instruments and Derivatives”.

Use of Estimates — The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of net revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from these estimates. Significant estimates include allowance for doubtful accounts receivable, accrued interconnection cost disputes, the fair value of derivatives, market assumptions used in estimating the fair values of certain assets and liabilities, the calculation used in determining the fair value of the Company’s stock options required by ASC No. 718, “Stock Compensation”, income taxes and various tax contingencies.

Estimates of fair value represent the Company’s best estimates developed with the assistance of independent appraisals or various valuation techniques including Black-Scholes and, where the foregoing have not yet been completed or are not available, industry data and trends and by reference to relevant market rates and transactions. The estimates and assumptions are inherently subject to significant uncertainties and contingencies beyond the control of the Company. Accordingly, the Company cannot provide assurance that the estimates, assumptions, and values reflected in the valuations will be realized, and actual results could vary materially. Any adjustments to the recorded fair values of these assets and liabilities, as related to business combinations, may impact the amount of recorded goodwill.

Reclassification — Certain previous year amounts have been reclassified to conform with current year presentations, as related to the reporting of the Company’s discontinued operations.

Newly Adopted Accounting Principles

In January 2010, an update was issued to the Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures Topic, ASC 820, ASU 2010-06, “Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements,” which requires new disclosures for fair value measurements and provides clarification for existing disclosures requirements. More specifically, this update requires (a) an entity to disclose

PRIMUS TELECOMMUNICATIONS GROUP, INCORPORATED

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – CONTINUED

(UNAUDITED)

separately the amounts of significant transfers in and out of Levels 1 and 2 fair value measurements and to describe the reasons for the transfers; and (b) information about purchases, sales, issuances and settlements to be presented separately (i.e., present the activity on a gross basis rather than net) in the reconciliation for fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3 inputs). This update clarifies existing disclosure requirements for the level of disaggregation used for classes of assets and liabilities measured at fair value and requires disclosures about the valuation techniques and inputs used to measure fair value for both recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements using Level 2 and Level 3 inputs. This update was effective for the Company on January 1, 2010, except for Level 3 reconciliation disclosures which went into effect on January 1, 2011. On January 1, 2011 the Company adopted this update and did not have a material impact on the disclosures to the condensed consolidated financial statements.

In December 2010, an update was made to the Intangibles — Goodwill and Other Topic, ASC 350, ASU 2010-28, “Goodwill Impairment Testing in Reporting Units with a Zero or Negative Carrying Amount,” which provides guidance for all entities that have recognized goodwill and have one or more reporting units whose carrying amount for purposes of performing Step 1 of the goodwill impairment test is zero or negative. The update modifies Step 1 so that for those reporting units, an entity is required to perform Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test if it is more likely than not that a goodwill impairment exists. In determining whether it is more likely than not that a goodwill impairment exists, an entity should consider whether there are any adverse qualitative factors indicating that an impairment may exist. The qualitative factors are consistent with existing guidance, which requires that goodwill of a reporting unit be tested for impairment between annual tests if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount. This update became effective for us on January 1, 2011. We do not foresee this accounting update having a material effect on our consolidated financial statements in future periods, although that could change.

On February 28, 2011, the Company adopted changes to the disclosure of pro forma information for business combinations ASU 2010-29, “Business Combinations — Disclosure of Supplementary Pro-Forma Information”, issued by the FASB. These changes clarify that if a public entity presents comparative financial statements, the entity should disclose revenue and earnings of the combined entity as though the business combination, that occurred during the current year, had occurred as of the beginning of the comparable prior annual reporting period only. For the Company, this would be as of January 1, 2010, see Note 2 — “Acquisitions.” Also, the existing supplemental pro forma disclosures were expanded to include a description of the nature and amount of material, nonrecurring pro forma adjustments directly attributable to the business combination included in the reported pro forma revenue and earnings, if any. The adoption of these changes had no impact on our consolidated financial statements.

New Accounting Pronouncements

On January 1, 2011, the Company prospectively adopted the FASB update to revenue recognition for multiple-deliverable arrangements. The update requires the establishment of a selling price hierarchy for determining the selling price of a deliverable. The hierarchy is: vendor specific objective evidence if available, third party evidence if vendor-specific objective evidence is not available or estimated selling price if neither of the aforementioned is available. The residual method of revenue allocation is no longer permissible. We believe that this accounting standard update will not change our units of accounting for bundled arrangements, or the allocation of our products and services. We do not foresee this accounting update having a material effect on our consolidated financials in future periods, although that could change.

4. GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS

Generally accepted accounting principles in the United States require the Company to perform a goodwill impairment test, a two-step test, annually and more frequently when negative conditions or triggering events arise.

On February 28, 2011 the Company acquired Arbinet for stock consideration of $50.6 million in a stock for stock transaction. See Note 2 — “Acquisitions.” Because the Company’s stock price rose significantly between the signing of the merger agreement on November 10, 2010 and the close of the merger on February 28, 2011 from a closing price of $9.57 per share to $15.60 per share, the fixed-share consideration fair value also rose. Because Arbinet’s enterprise value may not have increased within similar levels over that time period, the Company determined that a goodwill impairment assessment was immediately necessary post-merger. On the day of the merger, Arbinet was a stand-alone business with its own cash flows and management structure, and the Company evaluated it as a separate reporting unit. The Company determined the preliminary enterprise value of Arbinet to be $36.2 million, which was less than the carrying value of $50.6 million. For Step 2 of the testing, the fair value of the assets acquired

PRIMUS TELECOMMUNICATIONS GROUP, INCORPORATED

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – CONTINUED

(UNAUDITED)

and liabilities assumed was deemed to be equal to that which was used for the purchase price allocation. Based on an enterprise value of $36.2 million and the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at purchase, the company calculated $4.7 million of implied goodwill. Because the carrying value of goodwill was greater than the implied goodwill, $14.7 million was recorded as goodwill impairment expense in the three months ended March 31, 2011.

The intangible assets not subject to amortization consisted of the following (in thousands):


	June 30, 2011		December 31, 2010

13% Senior Secured Notes due 2016

On April 19, 2011, Primus Telecommunications Holding Inc. (“Holding”) and Primus Telecommunications Canada Inc. (“Primus Canada”), both wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company commenced an offer to purchase (the “Offer to Purchase”) up to 5,200 Units, each such Unit consisting of $1,000 principal amount of 13% Senior Secured Notes due 2016 (the “13% Notes”) issued by Holding and Primus Canada, at a purchase price in cash equal to 100% of the principal amount of 13% Notes validly tendered (and not validly withdrawn) prior to the expiration time, plus accrued but unpaid interest thereon to the settlement date for the Offer to Purchase. The Offer to Purchase was made pursuant to the excess cash flow covenant in the terms of the indenture governing the 13% Notes. The Offer to Purchase expired on May 17, 2011 and $32,000 principal amount of 13% Notes were tendered and repurchased pursuant to the Offer to Purchase.

14¹/4% Senior Subordinated Secured Notes due 2013

On April 15, 2011, the Company redeemed $24.0 million principal amount of 14¹/4% Senior Subordinated Secured Notes due 2013 (the “14¹/4% Notes”) issued by Primus Telecommunications IHC, Inc. (“IHC”). Accrued interest to, but excluding the redemption date, of $1.3 million on the redeemed portion of the 14¹/4% Notes was also paid on the redemption date. There was $90.0 million principal amount of the 14¹/4% Notes remaining outstanding after this redemption.

Exchange Offer

On June 6, 2011, the Company announced the commencement of private offers to exchange new 10.00% Senior Secured Notes due 2017 issued by Holding for outstanding Units of the 13% Notes and 14¹/4% Notes and the commencement of consent solicitations by Holding and Primus Canada to amend the indenture governing the 13% Notes to eliminate most restrictive covenants and certain events of default and to release the collateral securing the 13% Notes. On July 7, 2011, Holding and Primus Canada consummated the exchange offers and consent solicitation. See Note 13 — “Subsequent Events,” for further information.

Litigation

Legal Proceedings

The Company and its subsidiaries are subject to claims and legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of business. Each of these matters is inherently uncertain, and there can be no guarantee that the outcome of any such matter will be decided favorably to the Company or its subsidiaries or that the resolution of any such matter will not have a material adverse effect upon the Company’s business, consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flow. The Company does not believe that any of these pending claims and legal proceedings will have a material adverse effect on its business, consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flow.

7. SHARE BASED COMPENSATION

The Company follows guidance which addresses the accounting for stock-based payment transactions whereby an entity receives employee services in exchange for either equity instruments of the enterprise or liabilities that are based on the fair value of the enterprise’s equity instruments or that may be settled by the issuance of such equity instruments. The guidance generally requires that such transactions be accounted for using a fair-value based method and share based compensation expense be recorded, based on the grant date fair value, estimated in accordance with the guidance, for all new and unvested stock awards that are ultimately expected to vest as the requisite service is rendered.

The Company typically issues new shares of common stock upon the exercise of stock options, as opposed to using treasury shares.

The Company uses a Black-Scholes option valuation model to determine the fair value of share-based compensation under the accounting guidance. The Black-Scholes model incorporates various assumptions including the expected option life, expected volatility, risk-free interest rates and dividend yield. The expected option life is no less than the award’s vesting period and is based on the Company’s historical experience. Expected volatility is based on historical realized volatility of the stock of the Company and guideline companies. The risk-free interest rate is approximated using rates available on U.S. Treasury securities in effect at the time of grant with a remaining term similar to the award’s expected life. The Company uses a dividend yield of zero in the Black-Scholes option valuation model as it does not anticipate paying cash dividends in the foreseeable future.

No options were granted during the six months ended June 30, 2010, while 2.5 thousand options were granted during the six months ended June 30, 2011. The fair value of each option grant was estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions shown as a weighted average for the year:


	Six Months Ended June 30,
	2011			2010
Expected option life		6 Years			N/A
Risk-free interest rate		1.43	%		N/A
Expected volatility		43	%		N/A
Dividend yield		0.00	%		N/A

Total share-based compensation expense recognized by the Company in the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 was $2.3 million and $0.1 million, respectively, compared to $3.4 million and $0.2 million, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010. Most of the Company’s stock options vest ratably during the vesting period. The Company recognizes compensation expense for options using the straight-line basis, reduced by estimated forfeitures.

The Management Compensation Plan, as Amended provides for the grant of incentive stock options, nonqualified stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units, and other share-based or cash-based performance awards (collectively, “awards”).

At the closing of the acquisition of Arbinet on February 28, 2011, the Company reserved approximately 95,000 additional shares of its common stock for issuance in connection with its assumption of Arbinet’s outstanding options, warrants, stock appreciation rights and restricted stock units. As of June 30, 2011, 208 shares of common stock were reserved for warrants to purchase common stock. These warrants are exercisable at $34.32 per share and will expire in 2012.

8. INCOME TAXES

The Company conducts business globally, and as a result, the Company or one or more of its subsidiaries files income tax returns in the United States federal jurisdiction and various state and foreign jurisdictions. In the normal course of business the Company is subject to examination by taxing authorities throughout the world.

The following table summarizes the open tax years for each major jurisdiction:


Jurisdiction	Open Tax Years
United States Federal		2002 – 2010
Australia		2002 – 2010
Canada		2004 – 2010
United Kingdom		2004 – 2010
Netherlands		2007 – 2010

(UNAUDITED)

The Company is currently under examination in Canada and certain other foreign tax jurisdictions, which, in the aggregate, are individually not material.

The Company adopted the provisions of ASC No. 740, “Income Taxes,” on January 1, 2007. It is expected that the amount of unrecognized tax benefits, reflected in the Company’s financial statements, will change in the next twelve months; however, the Company does not expect the change to have a significant impact on the results of operations or the financial position of the Company. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, penalties and interest were immaterial. As of June 30, 2011, the gross unrecognized tax benefit on the balance sheet was $88.4 million.

Pursuant to Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code (“IRC Sec. 382”), the Company believes that it underwent an ownership change for tax purposes on February 28, 2011, the Arbinet acquisition date. This conclusion is based on the Schedule 13D and Schedule 13G filings concerning Company securities, as filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission. A previous ownership change took place on July 1, 2009, as a result of the emergence from bankruptcy under the Reorganization Plan. As a result, the use of the Company’s net operating losses will be subject to an annual limitation under IRC Sec. 382 of approximately $1.6 million.

9. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND DERIVATIVES

The carrying amounts reported in the consolidated balance sheets for cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate fair value due to relatively short periods to maturity. The estimated aggregate fair value of the Company’s 13% Senior Secured Notes and 14¹/4% Senior Subordinated Secured Notes, based on quoted market prices, was $224.9 million and $247.8 million at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. The aggregate carrying value of the Company’s 13% Senior Secured Notes and 14¹/4% Senior Subordinated Secured Notes was $218.3 million and $242.2 million at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively.

See table below for a summary of the Company’s financial instruments accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis:

The CVRs are marked to fair value at each balance sheet date. The change in value is reflected in our condensed consolidated statements of operations. Estimates of fair value represent the Company’s best estimates based on a Black-Scholes pricing model. During the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, ($0.1) million and $0.4 million, respectively, of (income) expense was recognized as a result of marking the CVRs to their fair value, and $4.3 million and $2.4 million, respectively, of expense during the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010.

10. OPERATING SEGMENT AND RELATED INFORMATION

The Company has six reportable operating segments based on management’s organization of the enterprise — United States, Canada, Europe, Australia, the International Carrier Services (“ICS”) business from the United States and Europe, which is managed as a separate global segment, into which Arbinet will be integrated, and Other. The Company evaluates the performance of its segments and allocates resources to them based upon net revenue and income (loss) from operations. The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies. Net revenue by geographic segment is reported on the basis of where services are provided. The Company has no single customer representing greater than 10% of its revenues. Corporate assets, capital expenditures and property and equipment are included in the United States segment, while corporate expenses are presented separately in income (loss) from operations. The assets of the ICS business are indistinguishable from the respective geographic segments. Therefore, any reporting related to the ICS business for assets, capital expenditures or other balance sheet items is impractical.

11. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

In the second quarter 2010, the Company sold certain assets of its Spain retail operations. The sale price was $0.3 million. The Company recorded a $0.2 million gain from sale of these retail operations during the second quarter 2010.

During the third quarter 2010, the Company committed to dispose of and began actively soliciting the disposition of its Europe segment, also known as the Company’s remaining European retail operations. The Company sold its Belgian operations, to Webcetra BVBA, for a sale price of approximately $1.3 million during the third quarter and as a result, recorded a $40 thousand gain from the sale. In October 2010 the Company completed the sale of its United Kingdom retail operations customer base and certain of its assets to NewCall Telecom Ltd., for a sale price of approximately $6.8 million, including a note receivable of $2.1 million, and completed the sale of its Italian retail operations customer base for approximately $0.2 million; as a result the Company recorded a gain of $2.4 million and a loss of $0.3 million, respectively, from the sale of these assets. The Company sold its operations located in France, to AFone, during December 2010 for a sale price of approximately $4.0 million. In addition,

12. BASIC AND DILUTED INCOME (LOSS) PER COMMON SHARE

Basic income (loss) per common share is calculated by dividing income (loss) attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted income per common share adjusts basic income per common share for the effects of potentially dilutive common share equivalents.

Potentially dilutive common shares for the Company include the dilutive effects of common shares issuable under our Management Compensation Plan, as amended, including stock options and RSUs, using the treasury stock method, as well as stock warrants and CVRs.

PRIMUS TELECOMMUNICATIONS GROUP, INCORPORATED

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – CONTINUED

(UNAUDITED)

The Company had no dilutive common share equivalents during the three months and six months ended June 30, 2011, due to the results of operations being a net loss. For the three months and six months ended June 30, 2011, the following were potentially dilutive but were excluded from the calculation of diluted loss per common share due to their antidilutive effect:

•

0.4 million shares issuable upon exercise of stock options and RSUs,

•

4.5 million shares issuable upon exercise of stock warrants, and

•

2.7 million shares issuable upon exercise of CVRs.

For the three months and six months ended June 30, 2010, the following could potentially dilute income per common share in the future but was excluded from the calculation of diluted loss per common share due to their antidilutive effect:

•

0.6 million shares issuable upon exercise of stock options and RSUs,

•

4.5 million shares issuable upon exercise of stock warrants, and

•

2.7 million shares issuable upon exercise of CVRs.

13. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Exchange Offer and Consent Solicitation

On July 7, 2011, Holding in connection with the consummation of the private (i) exchange offers (the “Exchange Offers”) for any and all outstanding Units representing the 13% Notes issued by Holding and Primus Canada, and the 14.25% Notes issued by IHC, and (ii) consent solicitation (the “Consent Solicitation”) to amend the indenture governing the 13% Notes and release the collateral securing the 13% Notes, issued $240.2 million aggregate principal amount of 10.00% Senior Secured Notes due 2017 (the “New Notes”). The New Notes were issued pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), only (i) to “qualified institutional buyers” (as defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act), (ii) outside the United States, to persons who are not “U.S. persons” (as defined in Regulation S under the Securities Act), and (iii) to “institutional accredited investors” (as defined in Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3) or (7) under the Securities Act).

PRIMUS TELECOMMUNICATIONS GROUP, INCORPORATED

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – CONTINUED

(UNAUDITED)

The New Notes are governed by an indenture, dated as of July 7, 2011 (the “New Notes Indenture”), by and among Holding, the guarantors of the New Notes named therein, including the Company (the “Guarantors”), and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee and collateral trustee. The New Notes bear interest at a rate of 10.00% per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears in cash on April 15 and October 15 of each year, commencing October 15, 2011. The New Notes will mature on April 15, 2017.

The New Notes and related guarantees are secured by a pledge of and first lien security interest in (subject to certain exceptions) substantially all of the assets of Holding and the Guarantors, including a first-priority pledge of all of the capital stock held by Holding, the Guarantors and each subsidiary of the Company that is a foreign subsidiary holding company (which pledge, in the case of the capital stock of each non-U.S. subsidiary and each subsidiary of the Company that is a foreign subsidiary holding company is limited to 65% of the capital stock of such subsidiary).

The New Notes rank senior in right of payment to existing and future subordinated indebtedness of Holding and the Guarantors. The New Notes rank equal in right of payment with all existing and future senior indebtedness of Holding and the Guarantors. The New Notes rank junior to any priority lien obligations entered into by Holding or the Guarantors in accordance with the New Notes Indenture.

Prior to March 15, 2013, Holding may redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of the New Notes at the redemption premium of 110.00% of the principal amount of the New Notes redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, with the net cash proceeds of certain equity offerings. Prior to March 15, 2013, Holding may redeem some or all of the New Notes at a make-whole premium as set forth in the New Notes Indenture. On or after March 15, 2013, Holding may redeem some or all of the New Notes at a premium that will decrease over time as set forth in the New Notes Indenture, plus accrued and unpaid interest.

Upon the occurrence of certain Changes of Control (as defined in the New Notes Indenture) with respect to the Company, Holding must give holders of the New Notes an opportunity to sell their New Notes to Holding at a purchase price of 101% of the principal amount of such New Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of purchase. If the Company or any of its restricted subsidiaries sells certain assets and does not use all of the net proceeds of such sale for specified purposes, Holding may be required to use the remaining net proceeds from such sale to offer to repurchase some of the New Notes at 100% of their principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest.

The New Notes Indenture contains covenants that, subject to certain exceptions, limit the ability of each of the Company and its restricted subsidiaries to, among other things: (i) incur additional indebtedness; (ii) pay dividends on, repurchase or make distributions in respect of the Company’s capital stock or make other restricted payments; (iii) make certain investments; (iv) sell, transfer or otherwise convey certain assets; (v) create certain liens; (vi) designate future subsidiaries as unrestricted subsidiaries; (vii) consolidate, merge, sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its assets; and (viii) enter into certain transactions with affiliates. The New Notes Indenture contains other customary terms, including, but not limited to, events of default, which, if any of them occurs, would permit or require the principal, premium, if any, and interest, if any, on all of the then outstanding New Notes to be due and payable immediately.

Under the New Notes Indenture, either Holding or any Guarantor may incur additional senior secured debt, equal in right of payment to the New Notes, in the future that is subject to security interests in the same collateral as the New Notes and the related guarantees, in an aggregate principal amount outstanding (including the aggregate principal amount outstanding under the New Notes) equal to 2.25 times consolidated EBITDA of the Company for the prior four fiscal quarters.

Holding has no obligation or intention to register the New Notes for resale under the Securities Act or the securities laws of any other jurisdiction or to offer to exchange the New Notes for securities registered under the Securities Act or the securities laws of any other jurisdiction.

Following the completion of the Exchange Offers and Consent Solicitation, Units representing $2.4 million aggregate principal amount of 13% Notes remain outstanding, and the indenture governing the 13% Notes has been amended to eliminate most restrictive covenants and certain events of default and to release the collateral securing the 13% Notes.

Following the completion of the Exchange Offers and Consent Solicitation, $11.6 million aggregate principal of 14¹/4% Notes continued to be outstanding. Holding issued $11.6 million aggregate principal amount of New Notes for cash to certain former holders of 13% Notes. The proceeds of such issuance were used to redeem the remaining 14¹/4% Notes, and as a result IHC has discharged all of its obligations with respect to the 14¹/4% Notes.

Globility’s Agreement to Sell Canadian Wireless Spectrum Assets

On August 10, 2011, Globility Communications Corporation (“Globility”), a Canadian local exchange carrier in which the Company indirectly owns a 45.6% interest in compliance with Canadian telecommunication laws, entered into a definitive agreement to sell its fixed wireless spectrum licenses in 29 rural and urban markets across Canada for CAD$15 million (approximately USD$15 million). The license transfer is subject to Industry Canada approval and therefore the closing of the sale is expected to occur following receipt of such approval.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

You should read the following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations together with our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included herein, as well as our audited condensed consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010. You should review the “Risk Factors” section (Part II, Item 1A) for a discussion of important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the results described in or implied by the forward-looking statements contained in the following discussion and analysis.

Introduction and Overview of Operations

We are an integrated facilities-based communications services provider offering a portfolio of international and domestic voice, wireless, Internet, VoIP, data and data center services to customers located primarily in Australia, Canada, the United States and Brazil. Our primary markets are Australia and Canada where we have deployed significant network infrastructure. We classify our services into three categories: Growth Services, Traditional Services and International Carrier Services. Our focus is on expanding our Growth Services, which includes our broadband, IP-based voice, local, wireless, data and data center services, to fulfill the demand for high quality, competitively priced communications services. This demand is being driven, in part, by the globalization of the world’s economies, the global trend toward telecommunications deregulation and the migration of communication traffic to the Internet. We manage our Traditional Services, which includes our domestic and international long-distance voice, prepaid cards, dial-up Internet services and Australian off-network local services for cash flow generation that we reinvest to develop and market our Growth Services, particularly in our primary markets of Australia and Canada. We provide our International Carrier Services voice termination services to other telecommunications carriers and resellers requiring IP or time-division multiplexing access.

Generally, we price our services competitively with the major carriers and service providers operating in our principal service regions. We seek to generate net revenue through sales and marketing efforts focused on customers with significant communications needs, including small and medium enterprises (“SMEs”), multinational corporations, residential customers, and other telecommunications carriers and resellers.

Industry trends have shown that the overall market for domestic and international long-distance voice, prepaid cards and dial-up internet services has declined in favor of Internet-based, wireless and broadband communications. Our challenge concerning net revenue in recent years has been to overcome declines in long-distance voice minutes of use per customer as more customers are using wireless devices and the Internet as alternatives to the use of wireline phones. Also, product substitution (e.g., wireless/Internet for fixed line voice) has resulted in revenue declines in our long-distance voice services. Additionally, we believe that because deregulatory influences have begun to affect telecommunications markets outside the United States, the deregulatory trend is resulting in greater competition from the existing wireline and wireless competitors and from more recent entrants, such as cable companies and VoIP companies, which could continue to affect adversely our net revenue per minute, as well as minutes of use. More recently, adverse global economic conditions have resulted in a contraction of spending by business and residential customers generally which, we believe, has had an adverse effect on our net revenues.

In order to manage our network transmission costs, we pursue a flexible approach with respect to the management of our network capacity. In most instances, we (1) optimize the cost of traffic by using the least expensive cost routing, (2) negotiate lower variable usage based costs with domestic and foreign service providers, (3) negotiate additional and lower cost foreign carrier agreements with the foreign incumbent carriers and others, and (4) continue to expand/reduce the capacity of our network when traffic volumes justify such actions.

Our overall margin may fluctuate based on the relative volumes of international versus domestic long-distance services; international carrier services versus business and residential long-distance services; prepaid services versus traditional post-paid voice services; Internet, VoIP and data services versus fixed line voice services; the amount of services that are resold; and the proportion of traffic carried on our network versus resale of other carriers’ services. Our margin is also affected by customer transfer and migration fees. We generally pay a charge to install and transfer a new customer onto our network and to migrate broadband and local customers. However, installing and migrating customers to our network infrastructure enables us to increase our margin on such services as compared to resale of services using other carriers’ networks.

Selling, general and administrative expenses are comprised primarily of salaries and benefits, commissions, occupancy costs, sales and marketing expenses, advertising, professional fees, and other administrative costs. All selling, general and administrative expenses are expensed when incurred. Emphasis on cost containment and the shift of expenditures from non-revenue producing expenses to sales and marketing expenses has been heightened since growth in net revenue has been under pressure.

Recent Developments

Acquisition of Arbinet Corporation

On February 28, 2011, the Company completed the merger of PTG Investments, Inc. (“Merger Sub”), a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company with and into Arbinet Corporation (“Arbinet”), pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated November 10, 2010, as amended by Amendment No. 1 dated December 14, 2010 (collectively, the “Merger Agreement”) by and among the Company, Merger Sub and Arbinet. As a result of the merger, Arbinet became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.

In connection with the merger, each share of Arbinet’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share, issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the merger was canceled and converted into the right to receive 0.5817 of a share of Company common stock.

The value of Primus shares issued as merger consideration is based upon the closing price of Primus common stock as of February 25, 2011 of $15.60 per share. The exchange of 5,557,525 eligible Arbinet shares for 3,232,812 Primus common stock equivalents equated to a purchase value of approximately $50.6 million. This includes the issued and outstanding shares of Arbinet and Arbinet’s outstanding warrants, options, stock appreciation rights and other equity awards that were exercised prior to the effective date of the merger or subject to accelerated vesting features due to a change in control.

The Company is in the process of integrating Arbinet’s operations into its International Carrier Services segment. The combined company is expected to be well positioned to capitalize on its long established experience in carrier telecom operations and to expand its global voice and data operations to meet the evolving demands of telecom operators worldwide. With its enhanced scale and market position, the combined company is expected to enable international carrier services customers to access additional networks and termination routes at competitive rates. The combined company is expected to have a diversified product portfolio of international voice and data services across all international carrier services customer segments. The combined company would become the only major global provider to offer international carrier services customers options to either acquire direct international connections through traditional interconnect arrangements or manage their access needs through The Exchange.

The Arbinet acquisition is accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with ASC 805, “Business Combinations”. Under the acquisition method of accounting, assets acquired and liabilities assumed are measured at fair value as of February 28, 2011. The fair value of the consideration transferred and the assets acquired and liabilities assumed were determined by the Company and in doing so management relied in part upon a third-party valuation report to measure the identifiable intangible assets, property and equipment acquired. The third-party valuation reports are not final at the time of filing this quarterly report. This means that the assets and liabilities of Arbinet are recorded at their preliminary fair values and added to those of the Company, including an amount for goodwill representing the difference between the purchase price and fair value of the identifiable net assets. The condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company issued after the merger will reflect only the operations of the combined business after the merger and will not be restated retroactively to reflect the historical financial position or results of operations of Arbinet.

The Company’s acquisition of Arbinet was an all stock transaction and the Merger Agreement was based upon a Primus common stock per share price of $9.57. The initial purchase price valuation of Arbinet was based in part upon consultation with a third-party. The Merger Agreement provided that increases in the market price of Primus’s common stock would have the effect of increasing the total fair value of the consideration and therefore would increase the amount of the purchase price allocable to goodwill. The base-exchange formula provided by the Merger Agreement established the number of common shares required to consummate the merger. The number of common shares established by the Merger Agreement remained constant from the execution of the Merger Agreement through the closing date, February 28, 2011, and was not affected by the increase in the value of Primus’s stock which occurred after the Merger Agreement was executed. On February 28, 2011, the final consideration to be allocated to Arbinet’s net assets under ASC No. 805 was valued at approximately $50.6 million and was based upon a Primus common stock per share price of $15.60.

The significant increase in the fair value of the consideration to be allocated to Arbinet’s net assets as compared to the Company’s initial valuation of Arbinet triggered the requirement for the Company to perform a goodwill impairment test upon completion of its acquisition accounting. The Company recorded the preliminary purchase accounting during the first quarter of 2011, see Note 2 — “Acquisitions” and Note 4 — “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”.

Given the above, the Company had goodwill arising from the acquisition of Arbinet that was considered impaired upon implementing the purchase accounting of Arbinet’s net assets. The Company performed Step 1 and Step 2 testing for goodwill impairment during the first quarter 2011 and, as a result, recognized an impairment expense $14.7 million during the first quarter 2011.

Recent Developments Involving Existing Notes That May Impact Future Results and Liquidity

On July 7, 2011, Holding in connection with the consummation of the Exchange Offers and the Consent Solicitation, issued $240.2 million aggregate principal amount of New Notes. The New Notes bear interest at a rate of 10.00% per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears in cash on April 15 and October 15 of each year, commencing October 15, 2011. The New Notes will mature on April 15, 2017.

New York Stock Exchange Listing

On June 23, 2011, we began to list our common stock on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol, “PTGI.” At that time, trading of our common stock on the OTC Bulletin Board under the ticker symbol “PMUG” ceased.

Globility’s Agreement to Sell Canadian Wireless Spectrum Assets

On August 10, 2011, Globility Communications Corporation (“Globility”), a Canadian local exchange carrier in which Primus indirectly owns a 45.6% interest in compliance with Canadian telecommunication laws, entered into a definitive agreement to sell its fixed wireless spectrum licenses in 29 rural and urban markets across Canada for CAD$15 million (approximately USD$15 million). The license transfer is subject to Industry Canada approval and therefore the closing of the sale is expected to occur following receipt of such approval.

Foreign Currency

Foreign currency can have a major impact on our financial results. During 2011, approximately 80% of our net revenue was derived from sales and operations outside the U.S. The reporting currency for our consolidated financial statements is the United States dollar (“USD”). The local currency of each country is the functional currency for each of our respective entities operating in that country. Although the European dispositions and the Arbinet merger should reduce the percentage of our net revenue derived outside the U.S., in the future, we expect to continue to derive the majority of our net revenue and incur a significant portion of our operating costs from outside the U.S. Therefore, changes in exchange rates have had and may continue to have a significant, and potentially adverse, effect on our results of operations. Our primary risk of loss regarding foreign currency exchange rate risk is caused primarily by fluctuations in the following exchange rates: USD/Canadian dollar (“CAD”), USD/Australian dollar (“AUD”), USD/British pound (“GBP”), USD/Brazilian Real (“BRL”) and USD/Euro (“EUR”). Due to the large percentage of our revenue derived outside of the U.S., changes in the USD relative to one or more of the foregoing currencies could have an adverse impact on our future results of operations. We have agreements with certain subsidiaries for repayment of a portion of the investments and advances made to these subsidiaries. As we anticipate repayment in the foreseeable future, we recognize the unrealized gains and losses in foreign currency transaction gain (loss) on the consolidated statements of operations. The exposure of our income from operations to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates is reduced in part because a majority of the costs that we incur in connection with our foreign operations are also denominated in local currencies.

We are exposed to financial statement gains and losses as a result of translating the operating results and financial position of our international subsidiaries. We translate the local currency statements of operations of our foreign subsidiaries into USD using the average exchange rate during the reporting period. Changes in foreign exchange rates affect the reported profits and losses and cash flows and may distort comparisons from year to year. By way of example, when the USD strengthens compared to the CAD, there could be a negative or positive effect on the reported results for Canada, depending upon whether Canada is operating profitably or at a loss. It takes more profits in CAD to generate the same amount of profits in USD and a greater loss in CAD to generate the same amount of loss in USD. The opposite is also true. For instance, when the USD weakens there is a positive effect on reported profits and a negative effect on the reported losses for Canada.

In the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, as compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, the USD was weaker on average as compared to the CAD, AUD, GBP, BRL and EUR. The following tables demonstrate the impact of currency fluctuations on our net revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 (in thousands, except percentages):

Critical Accounting Policies

See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 for a detailed discussion of our critical accounting policies. These policies include revenue recognition, determining our allowance for doubtful accounts receivable, accounting for cost of revenue, valuation of long-lived assets, goodwill and other intangible assets, and accounting for income taxes.

No significant changes in our critical accounting policies have occurred since December 31, 2010.

Financial Presentation Background

In the following presentations and narratives within this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, we compare, pursuant to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) and Securities and Exchange Commission disclosure rules, the Company’s results of operations for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2011 as compared to the three months and six months ended June 30, 2010.

We also present detailed changes in results, excluding currency impacts, since a large portion of our revenues are derived outside of the U.S., and currency changes can influence or mask underlying changes in foreign operating unit performance. For purposes of calculating constant currency rates between periods in connection with presentations that describe changes in values “excluding currency effects” herein, we have taken results from foreign operations for a given year (that were computed in accordance with US GAAP using local currency) and converted such amounts utilizing the same U.S. dollar to applicable local currency exchange rates that were used for purposes of calculating corresponding preceding period US GAAP presentations.

Discontinued Operations

2010 Developments — During 2010 the Company classified its Europe segment, which is also known as European retail operations, as discontinued operations. As a result, the Company has applied retrospective adjustments to reflect the effects of the discontinued operations during 2010. Accordingly, revenue, costs, and expenses of the discontinued operations have been excluded from the respective captions in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. The Company did not retrospectively adjust its condensed consolidated balance sheet as held for sale criteria was not met until the third quarter of 2010, as such, financial information for the Europe segment will appear, as applicable, where certain balance sheet information is presented, see Note 11 —“Discontinued Operations,” for further information.

Summarized operating results of the discontinued operations are as follows (in thousands):

Results of Operations

Results of operations for the three months ended June 30, 2011 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2010

Net revenue: Net revenue, exclusive of the currency effect, increased $64.3 million, or 33.0%, to $258.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011 from $194.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010. This increase is primarily attributable to the inclusion of Arbinet revenue within ICS, following the merger, offset in part principally by revenue declines in Australia, exclusive of currency effect, and U.S. retail voice and VoIP. Inclusive of the currency effect, which accounted for an increase of $23.6 million, net revenue increased $87.9 million to $282.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011 from $194.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010.

Canada: Canada net revenue, exclusive of the currency effect, increased $2.3 million, or 3.9%, to $60.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011 from $58.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010. The net revenue increase is primarily attributable to an increase of $5.8 million in local services, and an increase of $1.5 million in Internet, VoIP, data and hosting services offset, in part, by a decrease of $2.6 million in retail long distance, a decrease of $2.2 million in prepaid voice services and a decrease of $0.2 million in wireless services. Inclusive of the currency effect, which accounted for a $3.8 million increase, net revenue increased $6.1 million to $64.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011 from $58.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010.

Australia: Australia net revenue, exclusive of the currency effect, decreased $6.2 million, or 9.2%, to $61.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011 from $67.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010. The net revenue decrease is primarily attributable to a decrease of $2.7 million in business voice services, a decrease of $1.8 million in residential voice, a decrease of $1.6 million in Internet services, a decrease of $0.3 million in DSL services, and a decrease of $0.1 million in other services offset, in part, by an increase of $0.3 million in data center, wireless and VoIP services. Inclusive of the currency effect, which accounted for a $12.4 million increase, net revenue increased $6.2 million to $73.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011 from $67.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010.

International Carrier Services: ICS net revenue, exclusive of the currency effect, increased $70.7 million, or 143.7%, to $119.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011 from $49.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010. The net revenue increase is primarily due to the acquisition of Arbinet, which provided net revenue of $69.1 million, and an increase of $6.6 million in US carrier services offset, in part, by a decrease of $5.0 million in Europe carrier services. Inclusive of the currency effect, which accounted for a $6.6 million increase, net revenue increased $77.3 million to $126.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011, from $49.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010.

United States: United States net revenue decreased $2.1 million, or 16.4%, to $10.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011 from $12.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010. The decrease is primarily attributable to a decrease of $1.2 million in retail voice services, a decrease of $0.8 million in VoIP services and a decrease of $0.1 million in Internet services.

Other: Other net revenue, exclusive of the currency effect, decreased $0.4 million, or 5.5%, to $6.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011 from $7.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010. The revenue decrease is primarily due to a decrease in carrier voice services. Inclusive of the currency effect, which accounted for a $0.8 million increase, net revenue increased $0.4 million to $7.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011 from $7.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010.

Cost of revenue: Cost of revenue, exclusive of the currency effect, increased $65.2 million to $189.2 million, or 73.1% of net revenue, for the three months ended June 30, 2011 from $124.0 million, or 63.7% of net revenue, for the three months ended June 30, 2010 primarily due to a shift to higher volume lower margin products resulting from the acquisition of Arbinet. Inclusive of the currency effect, which accounted for a $16.3 million increase, cost of revenue increased $81.5 million to $205.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011 from $124.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010.

Canada: Canada selling, general and administrative expenses, exclusive of the currency effect, decreased $2.2 million to $37.6 million, or 31.9% of net revenue, for the six months ended June 30, 2011 from $39.8 million, or 34.5% of net revenue, for the six months ended June 30, 2010. The decrease is attributable to a decrease of $1.6 million in sales and marketing expenses, a decrease of $0.5 million in advertising expenses, a decrease of $0.3 million in professional fees, a decrease of $0.1 million in occupancy expenses and a decrease of $0.1 million in other expenses offset, in part, by an increase of $0.4 million in salaries and benefits. Inclusive of the currency effect, which accounted for a $2.3 million increase, selling, general and administrative expense increased $0.1 million to $39.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 from $39.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010.

Australia: Australia selling, general and administrative expense, exclusive of the currency effect, increased $0.9 million to $34.6 million, or 27.5% of net revenue, for the six months ended June 30, 2011 from $33.7 million, or 24.5% of net revenue, for the six months ended June 30, 2010. The increase is attributable to an increase of $1.0 million in salaries and benefits, an increase of $0.4 million in advertising expenses and an increase of $0.2 million in occupancy expenses offset, in part, by a decrease of $0.3 million in sales and marketing expenses, a decrease of $0.3 million in general and administrative expenses and a decrease of $0.1 million in professional fees. Inclusive of the currency effect, which accounted for a $5.4 million increase, selling, general and administrative expense increased $6.3 million to $40.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 from $33.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010.

International Carrier Services: ICS selling, general and administrative expenses, exclusive of the currency effect, increased $7.7 million to $11.0 million, or 5.8% of net revenue, for the six months ended June 30, 2011 from $3.3 million, or 3.4% of net revenue, for the six months ended June 30, 2010. The increase is primarily due to the acquisition of Arbinet, which provided selling, general and administrative expense of $7.1 million, and an increase of $0.7 million in US carrier services offset, in part, by a decrease of $0.1 million in Europe carrier services. Inclusive of the currency effect, which accounted for a $0.1 million increase, selling, general and administrative expense increased $7.8 million to $11.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 from $3.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010. Inclusive within the acquisition of Arbinet has been $0.6 million of integration expenses and $1.1 million in severance expense.

United States: United States selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $3.2 million to $9.1 million, or 41.6% of net revenue, for the six months ended June 30, 2011 from $12.3 million, or 46.2% of net revenue, for the six months ended June 30, 2010. The decrease is attributable to a decrease of $2.0 million in general and administrative expenses, a decrease of $1.1 million in salaries and benefits, a decrease of $0.4 million in occupancy expenses, a decrease of $0.1 million in professional fees and a decrease of $0.1 million in sales and marketing expenses offset, in part, by an increase of $0.5 million in advertising expenses.

Other: Other selling, general and administrative expense, exclusive of the currency effect, increased $0.1 million to $2.3 million, or 17.7% of net revenue, for the six months ended June 30, 2011 from $2.2 million, or 18.3% of net revenue, for the six months ended June 30, 2010. The increase is primarily attributable to an increase of $0.1 million in sales and marketing expenses. Inclusive of the currency effect, which accounted for a $0.2 million increase, selling, general and administrative expense increased $0.3 million to $2.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 from $2.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010.

Corporate: Corporate selling, general and administrative expense increased $4.0 million to $10.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 from $6.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010. The increase is attributable to an increase of $1.9 million in salaries and benefits, an increase of $0.9 million in professional fees, an increase of $0.7 million in general and administrative expenses, an increase of $0.3 million in occupancy expenses and an increase of $0.2 million in travel and entertainment expense.

Depreciation and amortization expense: Depreciation and amortization expense decreased $3.8 million to $32.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 from $36.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010. The decrease was primarily the result of certain assets revalued at the time of fresh start accounting and depreciated over a one year life which ended on June 30, 2010, offset in part, by additional depreciation and amortization from Arbinet.

Goodwill impairment expense: The Company expensed $14.7 million of goodwill in the first quarter of 2011 due to the acquisition price of Arbinet Corporation. See Note 2 — “Acquisitions” and Note 4 —“Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,” for further information.

Interest expense and accretion (amortization) on debt discount/premium, net: Interest expense and accretion (amortization) on debt discount/premium, net decreased $1.4 million to $16.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 from $18.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010. The decrease was due to the $24.0 million principal payment of the 14¹/4% Senior Secured Notes in April 2011.

Gain (loss) from contingent value rights valuation: The change in value of the contingent value rights decreased $1.9 million to a loss of $4.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 from a loss of $2.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010. This decrease is attributable to the change of the fair market value. The Company determined these contingent value rights to be derivative instruments to be accounted for as liabilities and marked to fair value at each balance sheet date. Estimates of fair value represent the Company’s best estimates based on a Black-Scholes pricing model.

Foreign currency transaction gain (loss): Foreign currency transaction gain increased $10.2 million to a gain of $6.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 from a loss of $3.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010. The gains are attributable to the impact of foreign currency exchange rate changes on intercompany debt balances and on receivables and payables denominated in a currency other than the subsidiaries’ functional currency.

Income tax benefit (expense): Income tax expense was $0.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to a $4.1 million benefit for the six months ended June 30, 2010. The expense includes withholding tax related to cross-border payments and state income tax expense expected in states without net operating loss coverage.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Changes in Cash Flows

Our principal liquidity requirements arise from cash used in operating activities, purchases of network equipment including switches, related transmission equipment and capacity, development of back-office systems, expansion of data center facilities, interest and principal payments on outstanding debt and other obligations and income taxes. We have financed our growth and operations to date through public offerings and private placements of debt and equity securities, vendor financing, capital lease financing and other financing arrangements.

Net cash provided by operating activities was $15.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011. For the six months ended June 30, 2011, net income, net of non-cash operating activity, provided $27.1 million of cash. In addition, cash was increased by an increase in accounts payable of $6.9 million. For the six months ended June 30, 2011, we used $8.6 million to increase accounts receivable, $5.3 million to reduce our accrued expenses, deferred revenue, other current liabilities and other liabilities, net, and $4.8 million to reduce our accrued interconnection costs.

Net cash provided by investing activities was $0.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011, which included $13.9 million used for capital expenditures, offset by $9.6 million provided by cash acquired from acquisition of businesses and $4.1 million from sale of marketable securities.

Short- and Long-Term Liquidity Considerations and Risks

As of June 30, 2011, we had $31.5 million of unrestricted cash and cash equivalents. We believe that our existing cash and cash equivalents will be sufficient to fund our debt service requirements, other fixed obligations (such as capital leases), and other cash needs for our operations for at least the next twelve months. The Company and/or its subsidiaries will evaluate and determine on a continuing basis the most efficient use of the Company’s capital and resources, including efforts to invest in the Company’s network, systems and product initiatives and to strengthen its balance sheet through debt repurchase or other means.

As of June 30, 2011, we have $30.3 million in future minimum purchase obligations, $80.4 million in future operating lease payments and $221.2 million of indebtedness. At June 30, 2011, approximately $88 million of unrecognized tax benefits have been recorded as liabilities in accordance with ASC No. 740; however, we are uncertain as to if or when such amounts may be settled, so we have not included these amounts in the table below. Included in the unrecognized tax benefits not included in the table below, we have recorded a liability for potential penalties and interest of $0.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011.

New Accounting Pronouncements

For a discussion of our “New Accounting Pronouncements”, refer to Note 3 to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in Item 1of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Special Note Regarding Forward Looking Statements

Certain statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and, in particular, our Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations set forth in Part I – Item 2, contain or incorporate a number of “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Such statements are based on current expectations, and are not strictly historical statements. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “if,” “may,” “should,” “believe,” “anticipate,” “future,” “forward,” “potential,” “estimate,” “reinstate,” “opportunity,” “goal,” “objective,” “exchange,” “growth,” “outcome,” “could,” “expect,” “intend,” “plan,” “strategy,” “provide,” “commitment,” “result,” “seek,” “pursue,” “ongoing,” “include” or in the negative of such terms or comparable terminology. These forward-looking statements inherently involve certain risks and uncertainties, although they are based on our current plans or assessments which are believed to be reasonable as of the date of this filing. Forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q include statements regarding:

•

our financial condition, Arbinet business integration and synergy efforts, financing requirements, prospects and cash flow;

•

expectations of future growth, creation of shareholder value, revenue, foreign revenue contributions and net income, as well as income from operations, margins, earnings per share, cash flow and cash sufficiency levels, working capital, network development, customer migration and related costs, spending on and success with growth products, including broadband Internet, VoIP, wireless, local, data and hosting services, traffic development, capital expenditures, selling, general and administrative expenses, income tax and withholding tax expense, fixed asset and goodwill impairment charges, service introductions, cash requirements and potential asset sales;

•

increased competitive pressures, declining usage patterns, and our growth products, bundled service offerings, the pace and cost of customer migration onto our networks, the effectiveness and profitability of the growth products;

•

financing, refinancing, debt extension, de-leveraging, restructuring, exchange or tender plans or initiatives, and potential dilution of existing equity holders from such initiatives;

•

liquidity and debt service forecast;

•

assumptions regarding currency exchange rates;

•

timing, extent and effectiveness of cost reduction initiatives and management’s ability to moderate or control discretionary spending;

•

management’s plans, goals, expectations, guidance, objectives, strategies, and timing for future operations, acquisitions, synergies, asset dispositions, product plans, performance and results;

•

management’s assessment of market factors and competitive developments, including pricing actions and regulatory rulings; and

•

the ability to generate net cash proceeds from the disposition of selective assets without material impairment to profitability.

Any or all of our forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q may turn out to be wrong. They can be affected by inaccurate assumptions we might make or by known or unknown risks and uncertainties. Many factors mentioned in our discussion in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q will be important in determining future results. Consequently, no forward-looking statement can be guaranteed. Actual future results may vary materially from expected results. We also provide a cautionary discussion of risks and uncertainties under “Risk Factors” in Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010, which are updated and supplemented by “Part II—Item 1A—Risk Factors” of our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q. These are factors that we think could cause our actual results to differ materially from expected results. Other factors besides those listed could also adversely affect us. In addition, the forward-looking statements contained herein represent our estimate only as of the date of this filing and should not be relied upon as representing our estimate as of any subsequent date. While we may elect to update these forward-looking statements at some point in the future, we specifically disclaim any obligation to do so to reflect actual results, changes in assumptions or changes in other factors affecting such forward-looking statements.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Our primary market risk exposures relate to changes in foreign currency exchange rates, valuations of derivatives and changes in interest rates.

Foreign currency exchange rates — Foreign currency can have a major impact on our financial results. As of June 30, 2011, approximately 80% of our net revenue is derived from sales and operations outside the United States. The reporting currency for our consolidated financial statements is the USD. The local currency of each country is the functional currency for each of our respective entities operating in that country. In the future, we expect to continue to derive the majority of our net revenue and incur a significant portion of our operating costs outside the U.S., and therefore changes in exchange rates have had and may continue to have a significant, and potentially adverse, effect on our results of operations. Our primary risk of loss regarding foreign currency exchange rate risk is caused primarily by fluctuations in the following exchange rates: USD/CAD and USD/AUD. Due to the large percentage of our revenue derived outside of the U.S., changes in the USD relative to one or more of the foregoing currencies could have an adverse impact on our future results of operations. We have agreements with certain subsidiaries for repayment of a portion of the investments and advances made to these subsidiaries. As we anticipate repayment in the foreseeable future, we recognize the unrealized gains and losses in foreign currency transaction gain (loss) on the consolidated statements of operations. We historically have not engaged in hedging transactions.

We are exposed to financial statement gains and losses as a result of translating the operating results and financial position of our international subsidiaries. We translate the local currency statements of operations of our foreign subsidiaries into USD using the average exchange rate during the reporting period. Changes in foreign exchange rates affect the reported profits and losses and cash flows and may distort comparisons from year to year. By way of example, when the USD strengthens compared to the AUD, there could be a negative or positive effect on the reported results for Australia, depending upon whether our Australia unit is operating profitably or at a loss. It takes more profits in AUD to generate the same amount of profits in USD and a greater loss in AUD to generate the same amount of loss in USD. The opposite is also true. For instance, when the USD weakens there is a positive effect on reported profits and a negative effect on reported losses for Australia.

In the six months ended June 30, 2011, as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2010, the USD was weaker on average as compared to the CAD and AUD. As a result, the revenue of our subsidiaries whose local currency is CAD and AUD increased (decreased) 2.1% and (8.5)%, respectively, in their local currencies compared to the six months ended June 30, 2010, and increased 8.1% and 5.8%, respectively, in USD.

Valuation of derivatives — We issued Contingent Value Rights (CVRs) to certain shareholders pursuant to the terms of the Reorganization Plan. Upon issuance, we estimated the fair value of the CVRs using a Black-Scholes pricing model and consequently recorded a liability of $2.6 million as part of fresh-start accounting. We adjust the estimated fair value of our CVRs quarterly. Our estimates of fair value of the CVRs are correlated to and reflective of our common stock price trends. In general, as the value of the our common stock increases, the estimated fair value of the CVRs also increases and as a result we recognize a change in value of the CVRs as loss from contingent valuation rights valuation, conversely and also in general, as the value of our common stock decreases, the estimated fair value of the CVRs also decreases and as a result we recognize a change in value of the CVRs as gain from contingent rights valuation. Because the value of our common stock fluctuates, the gain or loss recognized in our financial statements may vary from quarter to quarter.

Interest rates — Our 13% Senior Secured Notes and 14¹/4% Senior Subordinated Secured Notes are at a fixed interest rate of 13% and 14¹/4%, respectively. Subsequent to June 30, 2011, we refinanced our debt with 10% Senior Secured Notes at a fixed interest rate of 10%.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, and Principal Accounting Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on this evaluation, and as a result of the material weakness described in the Company’s 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K, our principal executive officer and our acting principal financial officer have concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective. Disclosure controls and procedures mean our controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in our reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in our reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control.

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended June 30, 2011 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. As a result of the Company’s determination that the controls in place over accounting for income taxes did not operate effectively as of December 31, 2010, we engaged our former Corporate Tax Director as a consultant to coordinate and work with our new Corporate Tax Director to fully document tax processes and controls and to perform a complete knowledge transfer of the existing procedures. We have also hired third party tax consultants to evaluate, document and make recommendations to improve the current tax reporting process and documentation of tax positions. Management believes that once controls have been fully documented and the knowledge transfer has been successfully completed, our new Corporate Tax Director will be able to take on an effective supervisory role and will be well positioned to ensure the effective enhancement and implementation of our tax controls. Notwithstanding the existence of a material weakness in our internal controls over accounting for income taxes, we believe, to the best of our knowledge, our previously filed financial statements (as amended) fairly present, in all material respects, our financial condition and results of operations in conformity with U.S GAAP.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

The Company and its subsidiaries are subject to claims and legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of its business. Each of these matters is inherently uncertain, and there can be no guarantee that the outcome of any such matter will be decided favorably to the Company or its subsidiaries or that the resolution of any such matter will not have a material adverse effect upon the Company’s business, consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flow. The Company does not believe that any of these pending claims and legal proceedings will have a material adverse effect on its business, consolidated financial position, resulted of operations or cash flow.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
