Segment other income, primarily related to interest on the collection of accounts receivable decreased 16% to $1,014,000 during the fourth quarter of 2011 from $1,206,000 in the prior year quarter.
 
Total segment income before income tax provision increased 109% to $3,772,000 in the fourth quarter of 2011 from $1,809,000 in the prior year quarter.
 
Crexendo Web Services
 
Revenue for the fourth quarter of 2011 increased 60% to $638,000, from $400,000 in the prior year quarter. Crexendo backlog, which is anticipated to be recognized within the next twelve months, was $1,142,000 at December 31, 2011 compared to a backlog of $964,000 at December 31, 2010.
 
Total segment operating expenses increased 43% to $1,380,000 during the current quarter compared to $965,000 in the prior year quarter. The increase in segment operating expenses is primarily due to an increase in direct sales costs as we increased the number of direct sales positions from an average of 8 in 2010 to 17 in 2011. Total segment operating loss increased 31% to $742,000 in the fourth quarter of 2011 compared to $565,000 in the prior year quarter.

Year Ended December 31, 2011 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2010
 
Net loss for the year ended December 31, 2011 was $6,230,000, or $0.59 per diluted common share, compared to net loss of $2,310,000, or $0.20 per diluted common share for the year ended December 31, 2010.

The income tax provision for the year ended December 31, 2011 was $5,052,000, compared to an income tax provision of $692,000 in 2010. The increase in income tax provision in 2011 was primarily due to the placing of a full valuation allowance on our deferred tax assets as we determined it was more likely than not that the deferred tax assets would not be realized as of December 31, 2011.
 
Cash used for operations for the year ended December 31, 2011 was $1,648,000, compared to cash from operations of $39,000 for 2010.

Steven G. Mihaylo, Chief Executive Officer of Crexendo, stated, "I am disappointed by our sales efforts, particularly in our ability to ramp up the sales force. We were overly aggressive and optimistic in our expectation that we would be able to add sales personnel without industry experience and then train them in telecom and web services. That model was not effective and consequently we had to reduce many of the non-experienced sales people that were simply not productive. We have refined our sales hiring and training processes, and are attempting to hire sales personnel with industry experience. We believe this will allow us to ramp up more quickly and be productive. This change has reduced the number of sales staff we are hiring, but we are confident that we will be increasing the number of sales personnel on a quarter by quarter basis by the end of next quarter. As of today, we have 24 direct sales representatives selling both our web services and our telecom offerings, compared to 28 at our last earnings call. I am convinced we have made the necessary changes to the hiring process and that we will increase the number of sales personnel and the gross sales per rep. I know we have the right products, services and plan designs and that we can compete with anyone in the industry.
 
"Despite the disappointment with the hiring plan, I am pleased with the response our telecom offering has received in the market place. We are now authorized to provide services in 46 states including Arizona, and have applications pending in 2 other states. With these approvals, we are now prepared to launch a nationwide roll-out of our telecom offering, which will include both an online sales channel and a direct sales channel.
 
"I continue to believe we have made the right strategic decisions regarding the long term growth of our company. I am impressed with how our products and services are coming together and believe we are focused on the right market segment. Our primary job continues to be to grow and mature our sales teams, and despite the need to refine our sales hiring process, I am confident we will be able to attract and retain quality sales reps. We plan to expand our product offerings to include other cloud based services, with the continued goal of creating a sustainable recurring revenue model."
