1. Description of Business and Basis of Presentation

Description of Business
We offer a full suite of equipment, supplies, software, services and solutions for managing and integrating physical and digital communication channels. We conduct our business activities in seven reporting segments within two business groups: Small & Medium Business Solutions and Enterprise Business Solutions. See Note 14 for information regarding our reportable segments.

Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of Pitney Bowes Inc. and its subsidiaries (PBI, the company, we, us, and our) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) for interim financial information and the instructions to Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In addition, the December 31, 2010 Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP. In our opinion, all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary to present fairly our financial position at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, our results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 and cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 have been included. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any other interim period or the year ending December 31, 2011.

These statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report to Stockholders on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 (2010 Annual Report). Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.

2. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

On January 1, 2011, new accounting guidance became effective addressing the accounting for revenue arrangements with multiple elements and certain revenue arrangements that include software. This guidance allows companies to allocate consideration in a multiple element arrangement in a way that better reflects the economics of the transaction and results in the elimination of the residual method. In addition, tangible products that have software components that are “essential to the functionality” of the tangible product were scoped out of the software revenue guidance. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows, nor did it result in any additional disclosures beyond those already included in our 2010 Annual Report. Refer to Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in our 2010 Annual Report for further information.

In June 2011, new guidance was introduced that would eliminate the current option to report other comprehensive income and its components in the statement of stockholders’ equity, and require an entity to present items of net income and other comprehensive income in one continuous statement, referred to as the statement of comprehensive income, or in two separate, but consecutive, statements. This guidance would be effective in the first quarter of 2012, with early adoption permitted. This guidance will result in a change in the way we present other comprehensive income and its components, but will not have an impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

3. Discontinued Operations

The loss from discontinued operations primarily relates to the accrual of interest on liabilities for uncertain tax positions retained in connection with the sale of our Capital Services business in 2006, offset in part during the second quarter of 2011 by the release of reserves primarily related to a Capital Services sales tax dispute. For the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, the loss from discontinued operations was $1 million and $3 million, respectively, and for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, the loss from discontinued operations was $3 million and $6 million, respectively.

(1)	Prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.

6. Long-term Debt

There have been no significant changes to long-term debt since December 31, 2010.

In April 2011, we entered into two interest rate swap agreements with an aggregate notional value of $450 million to effectively convert the fixed rate interest payments on our $450 million 4.875% notes due in 2014 into variable rates. Under the terms of these agreements, we pay a weighted-average variable rate based on three month LIBOR plus 305 basis points and receive fixed rate payments of 4.875%.

7. Income Taxes

The effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 was 33.3% and 33.9%, respectively, and the effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 was 32.2% and 41.1%, respectively. The year-to-date 2011 rate includes a $9 million tax benefit arising from a favorable conclusion of a foreign tax examination and a $2 million charge from the write-off of deferred tax assets associated with the expiration of out-of-the-money vested stock options and the vesting of restricted stock units previously granted to our employees. The year-to-date 2010 rate included a $9 million charge from the write-off of deferred tax assets related to the U.S. health care reform legislation that eliminated the tax deduction for retiree health care costs to the extent of federal subsidies received by companies that provide retiree prescription drug benefits equivalent to Medicare Part D coverage and a $9 million charge from the write-off of deferred tax assets associated with the expiration of out-of-the-money vested stock options and the vesting of restricted stock units previously granted to our employees.

We regularly assess the likelihood of tax adjustments in each of the tax jurisdictions in which we have operations and account for the related financial statement implications. Tax reserves have been established which we believe to be appropriate given the possibility of tax adjustments. Determining the appropriate level of tax reserves requires us to exercise judgment regarding the uncertain application of tax law. The amount of reserves is adjusted when information becomes available or when an event occurs indicating a change in the reserve is appropriate. Future changes in tax reserve requirements could have a material impact on our results of operations.

We are continually under examination by tax authorities in the United States, other countries and local jurisdictions in which we have operations. The IRS exam of tax years 2001-2004 is estimated to be completed within the next six months and the examination of years 2005-2008 within the next 12-to-18 months. In connection with the 2001-2004 exam, during July 2011 we entered into a series of settlements with the IRS under which we agreed on the tax treatment of a number of disputed issues and we agreed to revised tax calculations. In the third quarter, we expect to release approximately $50 million of tax reserves including interest, about $30 million of which will be released through Discontinued Operations. We also expect our additional liability to be approximately $400 million

of tax and interest that has previously been paid through the purchase of tax bonds. Consequently, this settlement will have no impact on our cash position. In connection with the 2005-2008 IRS exam, we have received notices of proposed adjustments to our filed returns. A variety of post-2000 tax years remain subject to examination by other tax authorities, including the U.K., Canada, France, Germany and various U.S. states. It is reasonably possible that the amount of our unrecognized tax benefits will decrease in the next 12 months, and we expect this change could be up to two-thirds of our unrecognized tax benefits. Tax reserves have been established which we believe to be appropriate given the possibility of tax adjustments. However, depending upon the size of the reserve as compared to the ultimate determination of such matters, the resolution could have a material impact, positive or negative, on our results of operations, financial position and cash flows.

8. Noncontrolling Interests (Preferred Stockholders’ Equity in Subsidiaries)

In 2009, Pitney Bowes International Holdings, Inc. (PBIH), a subsidiary of ours, issued 300,000 shares, or $300 million, of perpetual voting preferred stock (the Preferred Stock) to certain outside institutional investors. The holders of the Preferred Stock are entitled as a group to 25% of the combined voting power of all classes of capital stock of PBIH. All outstanding common stock of PBIH, representing the remaining 75% of the combined voting power of all classes of capital stock, is owned directly or indirectly by the company. The Preferred Stock is entitled to cumulative dividends at a rate of 6.125% for a period of seven years after which it becomes callable and, if it remains outstanding, will yield a dividend that increases by 50% every six months thereafter.

The carrying value of the Preferred Stock is reported as Noncontrolling interests (Preferred stockholders’ equity in subsidiaries) on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Preferred Stock dividends are reported in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income as Preferred stock dividends of subsidiaries attributable to noncontrolling interests. No dividends were in arrears at June 30, 2011 or December 31, 2010.

There was no change in the carrying value of noncontrolling interests during the period ended June 30, 2011 or the year ended December 31, 2010.

10. Fair Value Measurements and Derivative Instruments

The fair value measurement guidance established a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:

Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.

Level 2 – Quoted prices for identical assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

Level 3 – Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity, may be derived from internally developed methodologies based on management’s best estimate of fair value and that are significant to the fair value of the asset or liability.

The following tables show, by level within the fair value hierarchy, our financial assets and liabilities that are accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. Financial assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Our assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment and may affect their placement within the fair value hierarchy.

Investment Securities

For our investments, we use the market approach for recurring fair value measurements and the valuation techniques use inputs that are observable, or can be corroborated by observable data, in an active marketplace.

The following information relates to our classification into the fair value hierarchy:


•	Money Market Funds / Commercial Paper: Money market funds typically invest in government securities, certificates of deposit, commercial paper of companies and other highly liquid and low-risk securities. Money market funds are principally used for overnight deposits and are classified as Level 1 when unadjusted quoted prices in active markets are available and as Level 2 when they are not actively traded on an exchange. Direct investments in commercial paper are not listed on an exchange in an active market and are classified as Level 2.

•	Equity Securities: Equity securities are comprised of mutual funds investing in U.S. and foreign common stock. These mutual funds are classified as Level 2 as they are not separately listed on an exchange.

•	Debt Securities – U.S. and Foreign Governments, Agencies and Municipalities: Debt securities are classified as Level 1 where active, high volume trades for identical securities exist. Valuation adjustments are not applied to these securities. Debt securities valued using quoted market prices for similar securities or benchmarking model derived prices to quoted market prices and trade data for identical or comparable securities are classified as Level 2.

•	Debt Securities – Corporate: Corporate debt securities are valued using recently executed transactions, market price quotations where observable, or bond spreads. The spread data used are for the same maturity as the security. These securities are classified as Level 2.

•	Mortgage-Backed Securities (MBS) / Asset-Backed Securities (ABS): These securities are valued based on external pricing indices. When external index pricing is not observable, MBS and ABS are valued based on external price/spread data. These securities are classified as Level 2.

Investment securities include investments held by The Pitney Bowes Bank (PBB). PBB, a wholly-owned subsidiary, is a Utah-chartered Industrial Loan Company (ILC). The bank’s investments at June 30, 2011 were $339 million. These investments were reported on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as cash and cash equivalents of $102 million, short-term investments of $45 million and other assets of $192 million. The bank’s investments at December 31, 2010 were $246 million and were reported as cash and cash equivalents of $61 million, short-term investments of $27 million and other assets of $158 million.

We have not experienced any write-offs in our investment portfolio. The majority of our MBS are either guaranteed or supported by the U.S. government. Market events have not caused our money market funds to experience declines in their net asset value below $1.00 per share or to incur imposed limits on redemptions. We have no investments in inactive markets which would warrant a possible change in our pricing methods or classification within the fair value hierarchy. Further, we have no investments in auction rate securities.

Derivative Instruments

In the normal course of business, we are exposed to the impact of interest rate changes and foreign currency fluctuations. We limit these risks by following established risk management policies and procedures, including the use of derivatives. We use derivatives to manage the related cost of debt and to limit the effects of foreign exchange rate fluctuations on financial results. We do not use derivatives for trading or speculative purposes.

As required by the fair value measurements guidance, we have incorporated counterparty credit risk and our credit risk into the fair value measurement of our derivative assets and liabilities, respectively. We derive credit risk from observable data related to credit default swaps. We have not seen a material change in the creditworthiness of those banks acting as derivative counterparties.

The valuation of our interest rate swaps is based on the income approach using a model with inputs that are observable or that can be derived from or corroborated by observable market data. The valuation of our foreign exchange derivatives is based on the market approach using observable market inputs, such as forward rates.

Interest Rate Swaps

Derivatives designated as fair value hedges include interest rate swaps related to fixed rate debt. Changes in the fair value of both the derivative and item being hedged are recognized in earnings.

At June 30, 2011, we have outstanding interest rate swaps with an aggregate notional value of $850 million that effectively convert fixed rate interest payments on the $400 million 4.625% notes due in 2012 (the 2012 Swaps) and the $450 million 4.875% notes due in 2014 (the 2014 Swaps) into variable rates.

Under the terms of the 2012 Swaps, we pay a weighted-average variable rate based on one month LIBOR plus 249 basis points and receive a fixed rate of 4.625%. Under the terms of the 2014 Swaps, we pay a weighted-average variable rate based on three month LIBOR plus 305 basis points and receive a fixed rate of 4.875%. At June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the aggregate fair value of these interest rate swaps was an asset of $14 million and $10 million, respectively.

The following represents the results of fair value hedging relationships for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010:

Foreign Exchange Contracts

We enter into foreign currency exchange contracts arising from the anticipated purchase of inventory between affiliates and from third parties. These contracts are designated as cash flow hedges. The effective portion of the gain or loss on the cash flow hedges is included in accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI) in the period that the change in fair value occurs and is reclassified to earnings in the period that the hedged item is recorded in earnings. At June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, we had outstanding contracts associated with these anticipated transactions with a notional amount of $27 million and $25 million, respectively. The fair value of these contracts at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 was a liability of $1 million.

As of June 30, 2011, substantially all of the net derivative loss recognized in AOCI will be recognized in earnings within the next 12 months. No amount of ineffectiveness was recorded in earnings for these designated cash flow hedges.

The following represents the results of cash flow hedging relationships for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010:


	Three Months Ended June 30,

We also enter into foreign exchange contracts to minimize the impact of exchange rate fluctuations on short-term intercompany loans and related interest that are denominated in a foreign currency. The revaluation of the intercompany loans and interest and the mark-to-market adjustment on the derivatives are both recorded in earnings. At June 30, 2011, outstanding foreign exchange contracts to buy or sell various currencies had a net asset value of $1 million. These contracts mature by November 2011. At December 31, 2010, outstanding foreign exchange contracts to buy or sell various currencies had a net liability value of $3 million.

Credit-Risk-Related Contingent Features

Certain derivative instruments contain provisions that would require us to post collateral upon a significant downgrade in our long-term senior unsecured debt ratings. At June 30, 2011, our long-term senior unsecured debt ratings were BBB+ / A2. Based on derivative values at June 30, 2011, we would have been required to post $1 million in collateral if our long-term senior unsecured debt ratings had fallen below BB- / Ba3.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Our financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, investment securities, accounts receivable, loans receivable, accounts payable, notes payable, long-term debt and derivative instruments. The carrying value for cash, cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and notes payable approximate fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments.

The carrying values and estimated fair values of our remaining financial instruments at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 is as follows:


	June 30, 2011						December 31, 2010

(1) Carrying value includes accrued interest and deferred fee income, where applicable.

The fair value of long-term debt is estimated based on quoted market prices for the identical issue when traded in an active market. When a quoted market price is not available, the fair value is determined using rates currently available to the company for debt with similar terms and remaining maturities.

11. Restructuring Charges and Asset Impairments

2009 Program

In 2009, we announced that we were undertaking a series of initiatives designed to transform and enhance the way we operate as a global company. In order to enhance our responsiveness to changing market conditions, we are executing a strategic transformation program designed to create improved processes and systems to further enable us to invest in future growth in areas such as our global customer interactions and product development processes. This program is expected to continue into 2012 and will result in the reduction of at least 10 percent of the positions in the company. Total pre-tax costs of this program are expected to be between $300 million to $350 million primarily related to severance and benefit costs, including pension and retiree medical charges, incurred in connection with such workforce reductions. Most of the total pre-tax costs will be cash-related charges. Currently, we are targeting annualized pre-tax benefits, net of system and related investments, in the range of $250 million to $300 million by 2012. These costs and the related benefits will be recognized as different actions are approved and implemented.

During the six months ended June 30, 2011, we recorded pre-tax restructuring charges and asset impairments associated with this program of $33 million, which included $22 million for employee severance and benefit costs, a $4 million pension and retiree medical charge as workforce reductions caused the elimination of a significant amount of future service requiring us to recognize a portion of the prior service costs and actuarial losses and other exit costs of $5 million. Through June 30, 2011, the cumulative charges for this program are $284 million. The majority of the liability at June 30, 2011 is expected to be paid from cash generated from operations.

Activity in the reserves for the restructuring actions taken in connection with the 2009 program for the six months ended June 30, 2011 is as follows:


	Severance and benefits costs			Pension and Retiree Medical			Asset impairments, net			Other exit costs			Total

2007 Program

In 2007, we announced a program to lower our cost structure, accelerate efforts to improve operational efficiencies, and transition our product line. The program included charges primarily associated with older equipment that we had stopped selling upon transition to the new generation of fully digital, networked, and remotely-downloadable equipment.

Activity in the reserves for the restructuring actions taken in connection with the 2007 program for the six months ended June 30, 2011 is as follows:

12. Commitments and Contingencies

In the ordinary course of business, we are routinely defendants in, or party to a number of pending and threatened legal actions. These may involve litigation by or against us relating to, among other things, contractual rights under vendor, insurance or other contracts; intellectual property or patent rights; equipment, service, payment or other disputes with customers; or disputes with employees. Some of these actions may be brought as a purported class action on behalf of a purported class of employees, customers or others.

Our wholly-owned subsidiary, Imagitas, Inc., is a defendant in several purported class actions. These lawsuits were originally filed in six different states and later coordinated in the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Florida, In re: Imagitas, Driver’s Privacy Protection Act Litigation (Coordinated, May 28, 2007). Each of these lawsuits alleges that the Imagitas DriverSource program violated the federal Drivers Privacy Protection Act (DPPA). Under the DriverSource program, Imagitas entered into contracts with state governments to mail out automobile registration renewal materials along with third party advertisements, without revealing the personal information of any state resident to any advertiser. The DriverSource program assisted the state in performing its governmental function of delivering these mailings and funding the costs of them. The plaintiffs in these actions were seeking statutory damages under the DPPA. On December 21, 2009, the Eleventh Circuit Court affirmed the District Court’s summary judgment decision in Rine, et al. v. Imagitas, Inc. (U.S. District Court, Middle District of Florida, filed August 1, 2006), which ruled in Imagitas’ favor and dismissed that litigation. That decision is now final, with no further appeals available. With respect to the remaining state cases, Imagitas filed its motion to dismiss these cases on October 8, 2010. Plaintiff’s opposition brief was filed on December 6, 2010, and Imagitas filed its reply brief on December 22, 2010. Although the plaintiffs are still contending that the cases filed in Massachusetts, Ohio and Missouri can proceed, they have admitted in their response that the reasoning in the Rine decision does require that actions based on Minnesota and New York laws be dismissed. We are awaiting a decision by the District Court on the motion to dismiss. Based upon our current understanding of the facts and applicable laws, we do not believe there is a reasonable possibility that any loss has been incurred.

On October 28, 2009, the company and certain of its current and former officers were named as defendants in NECA-IBEW Health & Welfare Fund v. Pitney Bowes Inc. et al., a class action lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Connecticut. The complaint asserts claims under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 on behalf of those who purchased the common stock of the company during the period between July 30, 2007 and October 29, 2007 alleging that the company, in essence, missed two financial projections. Plaintiffs filed an amended complaint on September 20, 2010. On December 3, 2010, we moved to dismiss the complaint. The parties have completed briefing on this motion and the motion is now pending before the court. Based upon our current understanding of the facts and applicable laws, we do not believe there is a reasonable possibility that any loss has been incurred.

We expect to prevail in the legal actions above; however, as litigation is inherently unpredictable, there can be no assurance in this regard. If the plaintiffs do prevail, the results may have a material effect on our financial position, future results of operations or cash flows, including, for example, our ability to offer certain types of goods or services in the future.

13. Finance Assets

Finance Receivables

Finance receivables are comprised of sales-type lease receivables and unsecured revolving loan receivables. Sales-type leases are generally due in monthly, quarterly or semi-annual installments over periods ranging from three to five years. Loan receivables arise primarily from financing services offered to our customers for postage and related supplies. Loan receivables are generally due each month; however, customers may rollover outstanding balances. The components of finance receivables at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 are shown in the tables below. Finance receivables of our Canadian operations were previously included in the International segment. In line with changes made in our segment presentation (see Note 14), Canadian finance receivables are now included with U.S. finance receivables in the North America segment. Prior year disclosures have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.

Credit Quality

We use credit scores as one of many data elements in making the decision to grant credit at inception, setting credit lines at inception, managing credit lines through the life of the customer, and to assist in collections strategy.

We use a third party to score the majority of the North American portfolio on a quarterly basis using a commercial credit score. Accounts may not receive a score because of data issues related to SIC information, customer identification mismatches between the

PITNEY BOWES INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited; table amounts in thousands of dollars, unless otherwise noted)

various data sources and other reasons. We do not currently score the portfolios outside of North America because the cost to do so is prohibitive, it is a fragmented process and there is no single credit score model that covers all countries. However, credit policies are similar to those in North America.

The table below shows the North American portfolio at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 by relative risk class (low, medium and high) based on the relative scores of the accounts within each class. A fourth class is shown for accounts that are not scored. The degree of risk, as defined by the third party, refers to the relative risk that an account in the next 12 month period may become delinquent. Absence of a score is not indicative of the credit quality of the account.


	-	Low risk accounts are companies with very good credit risk
	-	Medium risk accounts are companies with average to good credit risk
	-	High risk accounts are companies with poor credit risk, are delinquent or are at risk of becoming delinquent

Although the relative score of accounts within each class is used as a factor for determining the establishment of a customer credit limit, it is not indicative of our actual history of losses due to the business essential nature of our products and services.

The aging schedule included above, showing approximately 1.9% of the portfolio as greater than 90 days past due, and the roll-forward schedule of the allowance for credit losses, showing the actual losses for the six months ended June 30, 2011 are more representative of the potential loss performance of our portfolio than relative risk based on scores, as defined by the third party.

14. Segment Information

We conduct our business activities in seven reporting segments within two business groups, Small & Medium Business Solutions and Enterprise Business Solutions. As a result of certain organizational changes effective January 1, 2011, we have reclassified certain prior year amounts to conform to the current year presentation. The principal products and services of each of our reporting segments are as follows:

Small & Medium Business Solutions:


	North America Mailing: Includes the U.S. and Canadian revenue and related expenses from the sale, rental and financing of our mail finishing, mail creation, shipping equipment and software; supplies; support and other professional services; and payment solutions.

	International Mailing: Includes the revenue and related expenses from the sale, rental and financing of our mail finishing, mail creation, shipping equipment and software; supplies; support and other professional services; and payment solutions outside North America.

Enterprise Business Solutions:


	Production Mail: Includes the worldwide revenue and related expenses from the sale, support and other professional services of our high-speed, production mail systems, sorting and production print equipment.

	Software: Includes the worldwide revenue and related expenses from the sale and support services of non-equipment-based mailing, customer relationship and communication and location intelligence software.

	Management Services: Includes worldwide revenue and related expenses from facilities management services; secure mail services; reprographic, document management services; and litigation support and eDiscovery services.

	Mail Services: Includes worldwide revenue and related expenses from presort mail services and cross-border mail services.

	Marketing Services: Includes revenue and related expenses from direct marketing services for targeted customers.

Earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT), a non-GAAP measure, is determined by deducting from segment revenue the related costs and expenses attributable to the segment. EBIT excludes interest, taxes, general corporate expenses and restructuring charges, which are generally managed across the entire company on a consolidated basis, and asset impairments. EBIT is useful to management in demonstrating the operational profitability of the segments excluding centrally managed costs, and is also used for purposes of measuring the performance of our management team. Segment EBIT; however, may not be indicative of our overall consolidated performance and therefore, should be read in conjunction with our consolidated results of operations.

	•	acts of nature, fire, explosions and other disasters beyond our control

Overview

For the second quarter 2011, revenue increased 1% to $1,314 million compared to the prior year. Foreign currency translation contributed 3% to revenue growth. Excluding the effects of foreign currency translation in the quarter, equipment sales and software revenue increased 1% and 13%, respectively, compared to the prior year; but were offset by declines in rental revenue (7%), financing revenue (7%), supplies revenue (3%) and services revenue (3%).

Net income from continuing operations attributable to common stockholders was $102 million, or $0.50 per diluted share for the quarter compared to $64 million or $0.31 per diluted share for the same period in the prior year. Net income from continuing operations attributable to common stockholders for the six months ended June 30, 2011 was $190 million, or $0.93 per diluted share compared to $146 million or $0.70 per diluted share for the six months ended June 30, 2010.

The disruption caused by the fire at our Dallas mail presort facility resulted in the loss of $9 million in revenue and $0.03 per diluted share in the quarter. At the end of June, we completed the outfitting of a new facility and began processing customer mail from this facility. We expect to be operating at or above pre-fire capacity in this facility in the third quarter. To date, we have received $25 million as partial payment from insurance companies, of which $15 million was received as of June 30, 2011.

We generated $449 million in cash from operations, which was used primarily to pay $151 million of dividends to our common stockholders, fund capital investments of $88 million, reduce debt by $50 million and repurchase $50 million of our common stock.

Outlook

The worldwide economy and business environment continues to be uncertain, especially for small businesses. This uncertain economic environment has impacted our financial results and in particular our recurring revenue streams, including our high-margin financing, rental and supplies revenue streams. Recovery of these recurring revenue streams will lag a recovery in equipment sales. While we have been successful in reducing our cost structure across the entire business and shifting to a more variable cost structure, these actions have not been sufficient to completely offset the impact of lower revenues. We remain focused on streamlining our business operations and creating more flexibility in our cost structure.

Our growth strategies focus on leveraging our expertise in physical communications with our expanding capabilities in digital and hybrid communications. We see long-term opportunities in delivering products, software, services and solutions that help customers grow their business by more effectively managing their physical and digital communications with their customers.

We continue to expect our mix of revenue to change, with a greater percentage of revenue coming from enterprise related products and solutions. We expect that our future results will continue to be impacted by changes in global economic conditions and their impact on mail intensive industries. It is not expected that total mail volumes will rebound to prior peak levels in an economic recovery, and future mail volume trends will continue to be a factor for our businesses.

In July, we entered into a series of settlements with the IRS in connection with their examination of our tax years 2001-2004 under which we agreed on the tax treatment of a number of disputed issues and to revised tax calculations. In the third quarter, we expect to release approximately $50 million of tax reserves, about $30 million of which will be released through Discontinued Operations. We also expect to owe approximately $400 million of tax and interest that has previously been paid through the purchase of tax bonds. Consequently, this settlement will have no impact on our cash position.

The IRS exam of tax years 2001-2004 is estimated to be completed within the next six months and the examination of years 2005-2008 within the next 12-to-18 months. The ultimate resolution of any remaining matters could have a material impact, positive or negative, on our results of operations, financial position and cash flows.

Second Quarter 2011 compared to Second Quarter 2010

Business segment results

We conduct our business activities in seven reporting segments within two business groups, Small & Medium Business Solutions (SMB Solutions) and Enterprise Business Solutions (EB Solutions). The following table shows revenue and EBIT for the business segments for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010. EBIT, a non-GAAP measure, is determined by deducting from segment revenue the related costs and expenses attributable to the segment. EBIT excludes interest, taxes, general corporate expenses and restructuring charges, which are generally managed across the entire company on a consolidated basis, and asset impairments. EBIT is useful to management in demonstrating the operational profitability of the segments excluding centrally managed costs, and is also used for purposes of measuring the performance of our management team. Segment EBIT; however, may not be indicative of our overall consolidated performance and therefore, should be read in conjunction with our consolidated results of operations. Refer to Note 14 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for a reconciliation of segment EBIT to income from continuing operations before income taxes. Amounts in the table below may not sum to the total due to rounding.

Small & Medium Business Solutions

During the quarter, Small & Medium Business Solutions revenue decreased 1% to $670 million and EBIT increased 3% to $203 million, compared to prior year. Within the Small & Medium Business Solutions group during the quarter:

North America Mailing revenue decreased 5% to $494 million compared to the prior year, driven primarily by lower equipment, financing, rental, supplies and service revenues. Equipment sales continue to be negatively impacted by increased lease extensions. Lease extensions are profitable transactions but generate less revenue than new equipment sales. Declining equipment sales in prior periods is also driving the decline in financing revenue. Rental, supplies and service revenues were lower than prior year primarily due to lower volumes and fewer placements of new meters. Foreign currency translation had a 1% favorable impact on revenue. EBIT decreased 2% to $176 million, compared to prior year. However, EBIT margin of 35.6% improved over the prior year margin of 34.5% due to the benefits of our ongoing productivity initiatives, lower credit losses and extensions of customer leases.

International Mailing revenue increased 13% to $176 million compared to the prior year, primarily driven by foreign currency translation. Within International Mailing, equipment sales increased 5%, but were offset by a decline of 9% in rental revenue, primarily due to a higher mix of equipment sales revenue compared to rentals revenue in France. EBIT increased 56% to $27 million compared to the prior year, primarily due to past and ongoing productivity initiatives. Foreign currency translation had a positive impact of 11% on EBIT.

Enterprise Business Solutions

During the quarter, Enterprise Business Solutions revenue increased 4% to $645 million and EBIT increased 12% to $55 million, compared to prior year. Within the Enterprise Business Solutions group during the quarter:

Production Mail revenue increased 10% over the prior year to $134 million due to higher sales of inserting equipment in North America and Asia. Foreign currency translation had a 5% favorable impact on revenue. Production Mail EBIT of $9 million was

consistent with the prior year. EBIT in the quarter was impacted by investments of $4 million in the development of Volly^TM, our secure digital mail delivery service; however, the impact of these investments was offset by the higher equipment sales and the favorable impact of foreign currency translation of 2%.

Software revenue increased 19% over the prior year to $100 million. Acquisitions made in the latter half of 2010 accounted for 8% of the increase and foreign currency translation accounted for 7% of the increase. The remaining increase was primarily due to higher licensing revenue in all regions. We continue to enter into multi-year software licensing agreements, which will increase recurring revenue streams in future periods. Software EBIT increased 67% to $10 million primarily due to the increase in revenue.

Management Services revenue decreased 3% to $240 million. Foreign currency had a 3% favorable impact on revenue. EBIT decreased 10% to $20 million, compared to the prior year. The decrease in revenue and EBIT was primarily due to account contractions and terminations in the U.S. last year.

Mail Services revenue increased 4% to $134 million and EBIT increased 89% to $10 million compared to the prior year. However, current year revenue and EBIT were both adversely impacted $9 million by the fire that disrupted operations at our Dallas mail presort facility and prior year revenue and EBIT includes the negative impact of a one-time out of period adjustment of $21 million and $16 million, respectively, primarily related to the correction of rates used previously to estimate earned but unbilled International Mail Services revenue for the periods 2007 through the first quarter 2010. Excluding these items, revenue and EBIT decreased 4% and 13%, respectively, primarily due to lower shipping volumes coupled with higher shipping rates charged by international carriers in our International Mail Services business.

Marketing Services revenue decreased 3% to $36 million compared to the prior year primarily due to fewer household moves and a transition to a recently introduced online service for movers. EBIT decreased 7% to $7 million primarily due to the decrease in revenue and investments made in our new online service.

Total cost of revenue	$	651	$	652		49.5	%		50.3	%

Equipment sales

Equipment sales revenue increased 7% to $243 million compared to the prior year. Foreign currency translation accounted for 5% of the increase. The underlying increase was driven by a 12% increase in Production Mail and a 5% increase in International Mailing, partially offset by a 5% decrease in North America Mailing equipment sales. Cost of equipment sales as a percentage of revenue

decreased to 43.0% compared to 44.3% in the prior year primarily due to the mix of higher margin product sales in the mailing and production mail businesses and lease extensions.

Supplies

Supplies revenue increased 2% to $79 million compared to the prior year, with foreign currency translation having a 5% favorable impact. The underlying decrease was due to lower supplies usage resulting from reduced mail volumes and fewer installed meters worldwide. Cost of supplies as a percentage of revenue was 32.5% compared with 31.4% in the prior year primarily due to the increasing mix of lower margin supplies sales.

Software

Software revenue increased 20% to $106 million compared to the prior year. Acquisitions accounted for 7% of the increase and favorable foreign currency translation contributed an additional 7%. The remaining increase was primarily due to higher licensing revenue in all regions. Cost of software as a percentage of revenue improved to 23.6% compared with 24.0% in the prior year due to an increase in high margin licensing revenue.

Rentals

Rentals revenue decreased 5% to $143 million compared to the prior year as customers in the United States continue to downsize to smaller, fully featured machines and fewer installed meters. Internationally, rentals revenue has been impacted by the weak economic conditions and the higher mix of equipment sales revenue compared to rentals revenue in France. Foreign currency translation had a favorable impact of 2%. Cost of rentals as a percentage of revenue was 23.0%, consistent with the 22.9% in the prior year.

Financing

Financing revenue decreased 4% to $150 million compared to the prior year. Lower equipment sales in prior periods have resulted in a decline in our worldwide lease portfolio. Foreign currency translation had a favorable impact of 2%.

Financing interest expense as a percentage of revenue increased to 14.8% compared to 13.9% in the prior year, principally due to a higher overall effective interest rate. In computing our financing interest expense, which represents our cost of borrowing associated with the generation of financing revenues, we assume a 10:1 leveraging ratio of debt to equity and apply our overall effective interest rate to the average outstanding finance receivables.

Support Services

Support services revenue increased 1% to $177 million compared to the prior year, with foreign currency translation having a 4% favorable impact. The underlying decrease in revenue is due to lower new mailing equipment placements in the United States. Cost of support services as a percentage of revenue increased to 65.3% compared with 63.7% in the prior year primarily due to a more complex installation process associated with the Connect+^TM product.

Business Services

Business services revenue decreased 1% to $418 million compared to the prior year, with foreign currency translation having a 4% favorable impact. The underlying decrease in revenue is primarily driven by the loss of several large contracts during 2010, the impact of the fire at our Dallas mail presort facility and the timing of new business. Cost of business services as a percentage of revenue improved to 77.8% compared with 80.1% in the prior year primarily due to the reduction to prior year revenue from the one-time out of period adjustment in the International Mail Services business.

Selling, general and administrative (SG&A)

SG&A expenses increased $10 million, or 2%; however, foreign currency translation increased SG&A by $17 million, or 4% and acquisitions completed after the second quarter 2010 increased SG&A by $7 million, or 2%. The underlying decrease in SG&A of $14 million, or 3% is primarily due to our cost reduction initiatives. As a percentage of revenue, SG&A was 33.2% compared with 32.9% in the prior year.

Research and development

Research and development expenses decreased $1 million, or 2% from the prior year due to cost reduction initiatives and the completion of development work for Connect+^TM, which was launched in 2010.

Total cost of revenue	$	1,321	$	1,308		50.1	%		49.5	%

Equipment sales

Equipment sales revenue increased 4% to $485 million compared to the prior year primarily due to a favorable impact from foreign currency translation. Equipment sales were up 9% in Production Mail due to sales of production print equipment but were offset by lower equipment sales in North America Mailing. Cost of equipment sales as a percentage of revenue increased to 45.2% compared to 44.3% in the prior year primarily due to the impact of foreign currency translation and a higher mix of lower margin product sales in the North American Mailing and Production Mail businesses in the first quarter 2011.

Supplies

Supplies revenue decreased 1% to $161 million compared to the prior year, with foreign currency translation having a 3% favorable impact. This decrease was due to lower supplies usage resulting from reduced mail volumes and fewer installed meters worldwide. Cost of supplies as a percentage of revenue increased to 32.1% compared with 30.5% in the prior year primarily due to the increasing mix of lower margin product sales worldwide.

Software

Software revenue increased 19% to $205 million compared to the prior year. Acquisitions accounted for 8% of the increase and foreign currency translation accounted for an additional 5% increase. The remaining increase was due to higher licensing revenue in all regions. Cost of software as a percentage of revenue improved slightly to 24.4% compared with 24.6% in the prior year primarily due to the increase in high margin licensing revenue.

Rentals

Rentals revenue decreased 7% to $286 million compared to the prior year as customers in the U.S. continue to downsize to smaller, fully featured machines and the weak economic conditions continue to have an adverse impact on the international rental market. Foreign currency translation had a favorable impact of 1%. Cost of rentals as a percentage of revenue improved to 22.9% compared with 23.4% in the prior year primarily due to lower depreciation associated with higher levels of lease extensions.

Financing

Financing revenue decreased 5% to $304 million compared to the prior year as lower equipment sales in prior periods have resulted in a decline in our worldwide lease portfolio. Foreign currency translation had a favorable impact of 1%. Financing interest expense as a percentage of revenue increased to 15.0% compared to 13.7% in the prior year primarily due to higher overall effective interest rates.

Support Services

Support services revenue was unchanged at $355 million compared to the prior year. Foreign currency translation had a 3% favorable impact on revenue. The underlying decrease was driven by lower new equipment placements worldwide. Cost of support services as a percentage of revenue increased to 64.9% compared with 63.7% in the prior year primarily due to a more complex installation process associated with the Connect+^TM product.

Business Services

Business services revenue decreased 3% to $841 million compared to the prior year primarily due to the loss of several large contracts during 2010 and the impact of the fire at our Dallas mail presort facility. Foreign currency translation had a 1% favorable impact. Cost of business services as a percentage of revenue increased to 78.3% compared with 77.4% in the prior year primarily due to lower revenues and higher shipping costs in our International Mail Services businesses.

Selling, general and administrative (SG&A)

SG&A expenses decreased $4 million (less than 1%) compared to the prior year. However, the impact of foreign currency translation resulted in an increase of $20 million, or 2%, and acquisitions completed after the second quarter 2010 increased SG&A by $12 million, or 1%. The underlying decrease in SG&A of $35 million, or 4%, was due to our cost reduction initiatives. As a percentage of revenue, SG&A was 32.8% compared with 32.9% in the prior year.

Research and development

Research and development expenses decreased $7 million, or 9% from the prior year due to cost reduction initiatives and the completion of development work for Connect+^TM.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

We believe that cash flow from operations, existing cash and liquid investments, as well as borrowing capacity under our commercial paper program, the existing credit facility and debt capital markets should be sufficient to finance our capital requirements and to cover our customer deposits. Our potential uses of cash include, but are not limited to, growth and expansion opportunities; internal investments; customer financing; severance and benefits payments under our restructuring programs; income tax, interest and dividend payments; pension and other benefit plan funding; acquisitions; and share repurchases.

We continuously review our liquidity profile. We monitor for material changes in the creditworthiness of those banks acting as derivative counterparties, depository banks or credit providers to us through credit ratings and the credit default swap market. We have determined that there has not been a material variation in the underlying sources of cash flows currently used to finance the operations of the company. To date, we have had consistent access to the commercial paper market.

Cash Flow Summary

The change in cash and cash equivalents is as follows:


	Six Months Ended June 30,

	2011			2010

Net cash provided by operating activities	$	449		$	424
Net cash used in investing activities		(109	)		(136	)
Net cash used in financing activities		(253	)		(232	)
Effect of exchange rate changes on cash and cash equivalents		7			(9	)

Increase in cash and cash equivalents	$	94		$	47

2011 Cash Flows

Net cash provided by operating activities consists primarily of net income adjusted for non-cash items and changes in operating assets and liabilities. Decreases in finance receivables and accounts receivables contributed $140 million and $82 million of cash, respectively. Due to declining equipment sales, finance receivables have declined as cash collections exceed the financing of new business. Similarly, accounts receivables have declined primarily due to cash collections in excess of new billings. In addition, the timing of tax payments and tax refunds received contributed $115 million. Partially offsetting these inflows was a special contribution to our U.S. pension plan of $123 million, restructuring payments of $52 million and payments of accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $85 million.

Net cash used in investing activities consisted of capital expenditures of $88 million and the net purchase of investment securities of $36 million.

Net cash used in financing activities consisted primarily of dividends paid to common stockholders of $151 million, net payments of commercial paper borrowings of $50 million and the repurchase of $50 million of our common stock.

2010 Cash Flows

Cash provided by operating activities included decreases in finance receivables and accounts receivables of $126 million and $95 million, respectively. The decrease in finance receivables is due to the decline in the finance receivables portfolio as a result of reduced equipment sales from prior periods. The decrease in accounts receivables is primarily due to lower billings and strong collections. Partially offsetting these factors was an increase in inventory of $32 million, a reduction in accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $64 million due to the timing of payments and $67 million in restructuring payments.

Net cash used in investing activities consisted principally of the net purchase of short-term investments of $84 million and capital expenditures of $59 million.

Net cash used in financing activities included dividends paid to common stockholders of $151 million and net payments of commercial paper borrowings of $77 million.

Capital Expenditures

Capital expenditures for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 included additions to property, plant and equipment of $56 million and $26 million, respectively, and additions to rental equipment and related inventories of $32 million and $32 million, respectively. Capital expenditures for property, plant and equipment were significantly higher this year compared to the prior year due to the replacement of equipment destroyed by the fire at our Dallas presort mail facility. We have no material commitments for capital expenditures at June 30, 2011.

Financings and Capitalization

We are a Well-Known Seasoned Issuer with the SEC, which allows us to issue debt securities, preferred stock, preference stock, common stock, purchase contracts, depositary shares, warrants and units in an expedited fashion. We have a commercial paper program that is a significant source of liquidity for us and a committed line of credit of $1.25 billion which supports our commercial paper issuance. The line of credit expires in 2013. We have not experienced any problems to date in accessing the commercial paper market. As of June 30, 2011, the line of credit had not been drawn upon.

At June 30, 2011, there was no outstanding commercial paper. During the quarter ended June 30, 2011, borrowings under our commercial paper program averaged $186 million at a weighted-average interest rate of 0.20% and the maximum amount of commercial paper issued at any point in time was $293 million.

There have been no significant changes to long-term debt since December 31, 2010. In April 2011, we entered into interest rate swap agreements with an aggregate notional value of $450 million that effectively converted the fixed rate interest payments on our $450 million 4.875% notes due in 2014 into variable rates. Under the terms of these agreements, we pay a weighted-average variable rate based on three month LIBOR plus 305 basis points and receive fixed rate payments of 4.875%.

At June 30, 2011, we had $159 million of cash and cash equivalents held by our foreign subsidiaries. It is our intention to permanently reinvest these funds in our foreign operations and we do not currently foresee a need to repatriate these funds in order to fund our U.S. operations or obligations. However, if these funds are needed for our operations in the U.S., we could be required to pay additional U.S. taxes to repatriate these funds.

We expect to contribute up to $130 million and $25 million to our U.S. and foreign pension plans, respectively in 2011. Through June 30, 2011, total contributions to our U.S. and foreign pension plans were $127 million and $12 million, respectively, which included a special contribution of $123 million to our U.S. plan. We will continue to assess our funding alternatives as the year progresses.

We believe our financing needs in the short and long-term can be met from cash generated internally, the issuance of commercial paper or long-term debt and borrowing capacity under our existing credit agreements.
