Highlight of Business Operations:
Product revenue decreased by $2.2 million, or 3% in the three months ended January 1, 2012, and decreased by $8.2 million or 6% in the six months ended January 1, 2012, compared to the corresponding periods of fiscal 2011. The decrease in product revenue was primarily caused by lower volume, particularly in the EMEA and APAC regions. In the first half of fiscal 2011, product revenue in these geographic regions included significant sales to certain large enterprise customers. We did not experience the same level of sales to this EMEA and APAC customer base in the first two quarters of fiscal 2012, partly due to the inherent long sales cycle and the sporadic timing of sales to these customers, as well as the impact of the challengingProduct gross profit decreased by $2.2 million and product gross margin decreased to 55% from 56% in the three months ended January 1, 2012 compared to the corresponding period of fiscal 2011. In the six months ended January 1, 2012, product gross profit decreased by $6.8 million and product gross margin decreased to 54% from 56%, compared to the corresponding period of fiscal 2011. The decreases in product gross profit and gross margin were primarily due to the decrease in product revenue in the three and six months ended January 1, 2012 compared to the same periods in fiscal 2011, unfavorable profit impact from product mix shifts, and to a lesser degree, increased sales discounts.
Sales and marketing expenses consist of salaries, commissions and related expenses for personnel engaged in marketing and sales functions, as well as trade shows and promotional expenses. Sales and marketing expenses in the three months ended January 1, 2012 decreased by $2.4 million, or 9%, compared to the corresponding period of fiscal 2011. The decrease in sales and marketing expenses was primarily due to a decrease of $1.3 million in employee-related expenses. Other significant decreases in sales and marketing expenses in the second quarter of fiscal 2012 included a decrease of $0.4 million in both commission expense and professional fees, and a decrease of $0.3 million in both travel and IT expenses.
Sales and marketing expenses for the six months ended January 1, 2012 decreased by $5.1 million, or 10%, compared to the corresponding period of fiscal 2011. The decrease in sales and marketing expenses was primarily due to a decrease of $2.4 million in employee-related expenses resulting from headcount reduction and a decrease of $0.9 million in commission expense due to the combined impact of headcount reduction and lower revenue in the first six months of fiscal 2012 compared to the same period in fiscal 2011. Other decreases in sales and marketing expenses in the six months ended January 1, 2012, primarily reflected the effects of cost-cutting measures, including a decrease of $0.7 million in both professional services and supplies expenses, and a decrease of $0.6 million in travel expenses.
Cash from operations in the first half of fiscal 2012 was $4.0 million, a decrease of $5.6 million compared to the corresponding period of fiscal 2011. The decrease in operating cash flow was primarily due a lower net income, partially offset by changes in assets and liabilities. Significant changes in assets and liabilities in the first half of fiscal 2012 included (i) decreases in accounts payable and accrued liabilities primarily due to timing of payments, as well as the impact of non-recurring payments of $4.7 million in connection with the settlement of lawsuits and cash severance payments of approximately $3.9 million; (ii) an increase in accounts receivable primarily due to sequential quarterly revenue growth in the first two quarters of fiscal 2012, and timing of cash collections; and (iii) a decrease in deferred revenue primarily attributable to timing of service contract renewals and amortization of contracts initiated in prior periods.
