Highlight of Business Operations:

Gross profit was $106.6 million and $92.2 million in fiscal 2011 and 2010, respectively, an increase of $14.4 million, or 15.6%. The gross margin for fiscal 2011 was 52.2% compared to 50.5% in fiscal 2010. Gross margin increased 1.7 percentage points primarily due to product cost reduction initiatives that allowed us to reduce the cost of our products and increase gross profit through purchasing and manufacturing efficiencies during the fiscal year. Favorable customer and product mix, as well as a decrease in the amortization of purchased and core technology as certain intangibles were fully amortized, also contributed to the increase in gross profit during fiscal 2011. Amortization of purchased and core technology was $2.9 million or 1.4% of net sales in fiscal 2011 as compared to $4.1 million or 2.2% of net sales in fiscal 2010.

Gross profit was $92.2 million and $81.3 million in fiscal 2010 and 2009, respectively, an increase of $10.9 million, or 13.5%. The gross margin for fiscal 2010 was 50.5% compared to 49.0% in fiscal 2009. Gross margin increased 2.1 percentage points primarily due to a reduction of costs as a result of the business restructuring in fiscal 2009 and other cost reduction initiatives and also increased 0.3 percentage points related to a reduction in amortization of purchased and core technology as some technology is fully amortized. This was partially offset by a 0.9 percentage points decrease in gross margin due to unfavorable product mix primarily related to cellular and certain embedded products. Amortization of purchased and core technology was $4.1 million or 2.2% of net sales in fiscal 2010 as compared to $4.2 million or 2.5% of net sales in fiscal 2009.

Research and development expenses were $31.6 million in fiscal 2011, an increase of $3.8 million or 13.7%, compared to $27.8 million in fiscal 2010. Research and development expenses increased by $2.6 million for compensation-related expenses due to increased headcount and full reinstatement of our non-sales incentive program, $0.8 million for other research and development expenses mostly related to the investment in our iDigi® cloud-based platform and $0.4 million for professional services and contract labor.

Sales and marketing expenses were $37.0 million in fiscal 2010, an increase of $1.7 million or 4.8%, compared to $35.3 million in fiscal 2009. The increase was due to an increase of $1.0 million in commission expense, $0.4 million in incremental expenses for MobiApps and $0.3 million of other various sales and marketing expenses.

Net cash provided by operating activities was $16.1 million during fiscal 2010 compared to $15.7 million during fiscal 2009, a net increase of $0.4 million. This net increase is due to an increase in net income of $4.9 million and a net increase of $0.2 million of other non-cash items, offset by a decrease of $1.0 million for changes in deferred income tax benefits and a $3.7 million decrease due to changes in working capital. Changes in working capital decreased cash flows by $3.7 million primarily due to an $11.9 million decrease in accounts receivable as the receivables balance increased due to higher revenue in September 2010 than in September 2009. Inventory levels were approximately the same at September 30, 2010 and 2009, however inventories decreased $3.6 million at September 30, 2009 compared to 2008. This was offset by a net increase of $6.0 million related to changes in accounts payable and a net increase of $5.8 million related to changes in other assets and accrued expenses.
