Cost of revenues was $20.4 million and $37.3 million for the three and six months ended September 30, 2012, respectively, and $21.9 million and $38.9 million for the three and six months ended September 30, 2011, respectively. Gross margin was 2% and 25% for the three and six months ended September 30, 2012, respectively, compared to (6%) and (30%) for the three and six months ended September 30, 2011, respectively.

R&D expenses (exclusive of amounts classified as cost of revenues and amounts offset by cost-sharing funding) decreased by 50% and 51% to $3.6 million and $7.5 million for the three and six months ended September 30, 2012, respectively, from $7.3 million and $15.4 million for the three and six months ended September 30, 2011, respectively. The decrease in R&D expenses was driven primarily by the realization of savings from actions to reduce personnel and other costs that were implemented in fiscal 2011. The increase in R&D expenditures reclassified to costs of revenue during the three months ended September 30, 2012 was a result of increased activity under our government funded contracts in our Grid business unit compared to the prior year period. The decrease in R&D expenditures reclassified as costs of revenue during the six months ended September 30, 2012 was a result of decreased activity under license and development contracts for wind turbine designs, particularly during the first quarter of the six months ended September 30, 2012. Aggregated R&D expenses, which include amounts classified as cost of revenues and amounts offset by cost-sharing funding, decreased 24% and 35% to $8.0 million and $14.9 million for the three and six months ended September 30, 2012, respectively, compared to $10.6 million and $22.8 million for the three and six months ended September 30, 2011, respectively.
We incurred non-GAAP net losses of $15.2 million and $25.4 million or ($0.29) and ($0.49) per share, for the three and six months ended September 30, 2012, respectively, compared to a non-GAAP net losses of $22.1 million and $52.9 million, or ($0.44) and ($1.04) per share, for the three and six months ended September 30, 2011, respectively. The decreases in the non-GAAP net losses were driven primarily by the factors that resulted in a lower net loss, including the savings from cost reduction actions undertaken in fiscal 2011 and increased revenues, particularly during the six months ended September 30, 2012.
