General and Administrative

General and administrative expenses consist primarily of personnel and personnel-related support costs, including for our executives and our board of directors, consulting and subcontractor costs, fees for professional services, including legal and accounting fees, and provision for doubtful accounts. General and administrative expenses were as follows (in millions, except percentages):

     19 %     19 %    

General and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2009 decreased $0.7 million, or 11%, to $5.7 million. As a percentage of revenues, general and administrative expenses remained at 19% consistent with the same period in 2008. Personnel and personnel-related support costs decreased $1.1 million primarily because we recorded a bonus expense of $0.4 million and share-based compensation expense of $0.3 million related to the 2007 Management Bonus and Equity Issuance Plan during the three months ended March 31, 2008 which did not recur during the three months ended March 31, 2009. The decrease was partially offset by $0.4 million in professional services fees incurred during the three months ended March 31, 2009 for the independent financial advisor and independent legal counsel appointed by the special committee of our board of directors in connection with its review of the non-binding proposal from Kudelski SA to acquire all of our Class A ordinary shares that are not currently owned by Kudelski or its affiliates.

As a percentage of revenues, general and administrative expenses decreased to 17% in 2008 as compared to 20% in 2007. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease of $1.5 million in personnel and personnel-related support costs. 2007 was impacted by one-time severance and other costs of $2.0 million that were recorded in connection with the departure of some of our former senior executive officers. The decrease in
