The $1.6 million, or 23.4%, decrease for the nine-month period ended July 31, 2009 is primarily due to a drop in payroll, benefits and other employee-related expenses of $1.0 million. During the first half of 2008, the Company implemented two RIFs to better manage operating expenses. The Company also paid a one-time termination fee of $63,000 to a distributor in the second quarter of 2008. As noted above, during the third quarter of 2008, the Company took a one-time charge to write off $123,000 of obsolete computer equipment and peripherals. In addition, commissions decreased by $264,000 as a result of lower revenues due to the challenging sales environment.

In addition, a one-time severance payment of $194,000 was made in the first quarter of 2008. This was partially offset by an increase in non-cash stock-based compensation expense of $132,000 due to restricted share grants and options issued August 28, 2008 and June 3, 2009 as well as an increase in consulting expenses of $110,000.

Research and development expenses for the three and nine months ended July 31, 2009 were $710,000 and $2.2 million, respectively, compared to $565,000 and $1.9 million, respectively, for the same periods in 2008.

During the first three quarters of fiscal 2009, the Company reported a net loss of $1.0 million. However, cash flow from operating activities was $1.6 million, primarily due to the collections of accounts receivable for $1.4 million and the add-back of non-cash expenses totaling $1.4 million for depreciation, amortization and stock-based compensation expense.
