Highlight of Business Operations:

The increase in net revenue for the three months ended December 31, 2010, compared to the three months ended December 31, 2009 was the result of an increase in net revenue from our device enablement and device management product lines, partially offset by a decrease in net revenue from our non-core product lines. The increase in net revenue from our device enablement product line was due to an increase in unit sales of some of our embedded device enablement products, in particular our XPort, XPort Pro and ASIC product families, partially offset by a decrease in unit sales of some of our external device enablement products, in particular our WiBox and UDS product families, offset by an increase in our EDS product family. The increase in net revenue from our device management product line was due to an increase in unit sales of our Spider and SCS product families, partially offset by a decrease in unit sales of our SLC product family. As part of an ongoing corporate initiative to optimize our sales distribution channel, we renegotiated our agreement with a direct customer that removed stock rotation and price protection terms, which allows us to recognize revenue uopon shipment as opposed to a sell-through basis. The result was recognition of approximately $342,000 of net revenue that would have potentially been deferred as of December 31, 2010. As part of this same initiative, we removed stock rotation and price protection terms from certain low volume direct customers and redirected them to master distributors, which allows us to recognize revenue uopon shipment as opposed to a sell-through basis. The result was the recognition of approximately $297,000 of net revenue that would have potentially been deferred as of December 31, 2010.

The increase in net revenue for the six months ended December 31, 2010, compared to the six months ended December 31, 2009 was the result of an increase in net revenue from our device enablement and device management product lines, partially offset by a decrease in net revenue from our non-core product lines.
