RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Revenue
Total revenue increased to $8.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009, compared to $6.7 million for the same period in the prior year. The increase was primarily attributable to broadband telecom revenue, which increased approximately 17% to $7.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009, compared to $6.2 million in the comparable period in the prior year. Our professional services revenue increased significantly to $257,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2009, compared to $21,000 in the comparable period in the prior year. Our enterprise product revenue increased 76% to $345,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2009, compared to $196,000 for the same period in the prior year. All other revenues, increased 22% to $289,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2009, compared to $237,000 for the same period in the prior year.
During the second quarter of 2009, sales to three customers individually accounted for approximately 25%, 24% and 16%, respectively, of our total revenues. During the second quarter of 2008, sales to three customers individually accounted for approximately 30%, 22% and 11% of total revenues, respectively. No other customer accounted for more than 10% of our total revenue in the periods presented.
Total revenue increased to $16.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009, compared to $14.1 million in the comparable period for the prior year. The increase in revenue is primarily attributable to our broadband telecom revenues, which increased approximately 27% to $15.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009, compared to $12.0 million for the same period in the prior year. Our professional services revenues increased significantly to $506,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2009, compared to $138,000 in the comparable period in the prior year. Our enterprise product revenues decreased by approximately 31% to $434,000, compared to $629,000 for the same period in the prior year. Included in revenues for the first six months of 2008 was a one-time project cancellation fee of $973,000 recorded in the first quarter of 2008 for unique customer requirements for product development work that was discontinued. All other revenues decreased approximately 6% to $382,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2009 from $406,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2008. Gross Margin
For the three months ended June 30, 2009, gross margin, as a percentage of sales, was 55% compared to 47% for the same period in the prior year. The increase in our gross margin percentage in the second quarter of 2009 was primarily due to a revenue mix shift toward higher margin products. Additionally, gross margin percentage was favorably impacted by improved utilization of our manufacturing facility.
Gross margin as a percentage of sales was 57% and 53% for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The increase in gross margin is primarily due to two factors. During the six months ended June 30, 2009, we experienced a favorable shift in our product mix toward higher margin products when compared to the same period in the prior year. Also, contributing to the increase in our gross margin percentage was an increase in factory utilization in the six months ended June 30, 2009 compared to the same period in the prior year. These factors were partially offset by the effect of the $973,000 project cancellation charge in the first quarter of 2008 described earlier, which had no cost associated with it. We believe that pricing pressures in the industry may dampen our gross margin in future periods and it may continue to be challenging to entirely offset these pressures with incremental supplier cost reductions and factory productivity improvements.

Research and Development
Our investment in the development of new products through research and development was $1.9 million and $2.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The decrease in research and development expense is primarily due to several factors. First, we had a reduction in project related expense of approximately $225,000 compared to the second quarter of 2008. Second, much of our research and development resources are located in France and as such those costs are subject to exchange rate fluctuations with the Euro and the Dollar. The Dollar was significantly stronger against the Euro in the second quarter of 2009 compared to the second quarter of 2008. This exchange rate fluctuation resulted in a decrease to research and development expense of approximately $160,000, compared to the same period last year. Third, included in research and development expenses in the second quarter of 2008 was a charge of approximately $115,000 related to software that was originally purchased for the development of a product that was subsequently discontinued. There was no such charge during the second quarter of 2009. Finally, the reduced headcount and facility expense resulting from the restructuring plan we undertook in the first quarter of 2008 decreased research and development expense by approximately $40,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2009, compared to the same period in the prior year. See Note 7 in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for more information on the restructuring plan. As a percentage of total revenue, research and development expense was approximately 24% in the second quarter of 2009 as compared to approximately 38% for the same period for the prior year. The decrease in research and development expense as a percentage of total revenue is due to research and development expense decreasing while revenue increased for the period.
Our investment in research and development was $4.0 million and $5.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The decrease in research and development expense is primarily due to several factors. First, we had a reduction in project related expense of $465,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2009, compared to the same period in the prior year. Second, the reduced headcount and facility expense resulting from the restructuring plan we undertook in the first quarter of 2008 decreased research and development expense by approximately $345,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2009, compared to the same period in the prior year. Third, a significantly stronger Dollar against the Euro in 2009 resulted in a decrease to research and development expense of approximately $340,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2009, compared to the same period last year. Finally, there were charges of approximately $185,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2008 related to software purchased for the development of products that were subsequently discontinued. There were no such charges during the six months ended June 30, 2009. As a percentage of total revenue, research and development expense was approximately 24% for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 38% for the six months ended June 30, 2008. The decrease in research and development expense as a percentage of total revenue is due to research and development expense decreasing while revenue increased for the period. Sales and Marketing
Sales and marketing expenses were $1.6 million and $1.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The increase in sales and marketing expense is primarily due to increased headcount in business development, product management and marketing. The increased headcount resulted in an increase in sales and marketing expense of approximately $230,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2009 compared to the second quarter of 2008. Sales and marketing expense also increased as a result of increased commission and variable compensation expense of approximately $155,000 in the three months ended June 30, 2009 compared to the same period in the prior year. As a percentage of total revenue, sales and marketing expense was approximately 20% for the second quarter of 2009 and 19% for the second quarter of 2008. The increase in sales and marketing expenses as a percentage of total revenue is due to sales and marketing expense increasing at a higher rate than revenue. We will continue to monitor the level of sales and marketing costs concurrently with actual revenue and profit results.

Sales and marketing expenses were $3.1 million and $2.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The increase in sales and marketing expense is primarily due to increased headcount in business development, product management and marketing. The increased headcount resulted in an increase in sales and marketing expense of approximately $360,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2009 compated to the same period in 2008. Additionally, sales and marketing expense increased as a result of increased commission and variable compensation expense of approximately $315,000 as a result of higher revenues for the first six months of 2009, compared to the same period in 2008. These two increases were partially offset by a significantly stronger Dollar against the Euro in 2009 resulting in a decrease to sales and marketing expense of approximately $140,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2009, compared to the same period last year. Additionally, sales and marketing expenses decreased as a result of the restructuring plan we undertook in the first quarter of 2008 resulting in a reduction of headcount expenses of approximately $138,000 in the first six months of 2009 compared to the same period in 2008. See Note 7 in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for more information. As a percentage of total revenue, sales and marketing expense was approximately 19% for both the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008.
General and Administrative
General and administrative expenses were $1.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008. As a percentage of total revenue, general and administrative expenses were approximately 14% in the second quarter of 2009 and 16% for the same period in the prior year. The decrease as a percentage of revenue is due to revenues increasing while general and administrative expense remained relatively consistent. We will continue to monitor the level of general and administrative costs concurrently with actual revenue and profit results. General and administrative expenses were $2.3 million and $2.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The increase in general and administrative expense is primarily driven by an increased utilization of outside providers for accounting, consulting and legal services, which accounted for approximately $175,000 of the increase. The remainder of the increase relates primarily to the funding of potential variable compensation awards that are being accrued, as it is more likely than not that we will achieve certain targets outlined in the variable compensation plan for 2009. As a percentage of total revenue, general and administrative expense was approximately 14% for both the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008. Restructuring Charge
On March 27, 2008, we adopted a plan to restructure our United States based business operations to balance our current spending with recent revenue trends. The primary goal of the restructuring program was to improve our ability to invest in future business opportunities that are designed to provide us with increased growth potential and greater revenue diversification in the coming years and better align our skills with our future direction. Under the restructuring plan, we reduced our workforce by 14 employees. As a result of the restructuring program, the Company recorded a restructuring charge of $38,000, classified as operating expense, during the second quarter of 2008 associated with lease obligations related to a facility closure. During the six months ended June 30, 2008, the Company recorded restructuring charges of $403,000, classified as operating expense, related to severance and fringe benefits and lease obligations. See Note 7 in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for more information. There were no such restructuring activities during 2009.
Interest Income, Net
Interest income, net of interest expense, decreased to $78,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2009 from $123,000 in the comparable period in the prior year. Interest income, net of interest expense, was $178,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and $286,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2008. The decrease in interest income, net for each period primarily relates to lower rates of return on our investments during the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 compared to the same periods in 2008, resulting in decreased interest income during the periods.
Other (Loss) Income, Net
Other loss, net, was $3,000 and $6,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, respectively. Other income, net was $22,000 and $325,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, respectively. The other loss, net during the periods presented for 2009 primarily relates to changes in foreign currency related to supplier invoices. During 2008, the other income, net was the result of the change in market value of our foreign exchange derivative financial instruments which resulted in income of approximately $30,000 and $346,000 for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2009, respectively. During, the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, we have had no such foreign exchange derivative financial instruments. See Note 5 in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for more information.

Income Taxes
Our tax benefit rate for the six months ended June 30, 2009 was 155%, compared to a tax benefit rate of 32% for the six months ended June 30, 2008. The effective tax rate differed from the U.S. statutory rate as we continued to provide a full valuation allowance for our net deferred tax assets at June 30, 2009 and June 30, 2008. During each of the six months ended June 30, 2009 and June 30, 2008, we recorded a tax benefit related to our operations in France. This benefit was primarily the result of a 30% research and development tax credit.
Net Income (Loss)
We reported a net income of $74,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2009 and net loss of $1.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2008. Basic and diluted earnings per share for the three months ended June 30, 2009 was $0.01. Basic loss per share for the three months ended June 30, 2008 was ($0.18). The Company reported a net income of $781,000 and a net loss of $1.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and June 30, 2008, respectively. Basic and diluted earnings per share for the six months ended June 30, 2009 was $0.11. Basic loss per share for the six months ended June 30, 2008 was ($0.26).
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Consolidated Cash Flows
Cash and cash equivalents increased $3.8 million from December 31, 2008 to June 30, 2009 and decreased $1.1 million from December 31, 2007 to June 30, 2008. Cash flows are impacted by operating, investing and financing activities. Operating Activities
Trends in cash flows from operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 are generally similar to the trends in our earnings except for provision for uncollectible accounts and returns, provision for excess and obsolete inventories, depreciation and amortization, amortization of restricted stock and write-off of impaired capitalized software. Cash provided by operating activities totaled $1.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009, compared to a net income of $781,000. Provision for uncollectible accounts and returns increased $53,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2009 compared to the same period in 2008. Provision for excess and obsolete inventories increased by $100,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2009, compared to the same period in 2008. Depreciation and amortization decreased slightly for the six months ended June 30, 2009 compared to the same period in 2008. Amortization of restricted stock increased $68,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2009, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2008. See Note 2 in Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for more information on restricted stock. Write-offs of impaired capitalized software decreased by $185,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2009 compared to the same period in 2008.
Changes in assets and liabilities result primarily from the timing of production, sales, purchases and payments. Such changes in assets and liabilities generally tend to even out over time and result in trends in cash flows from operating activities generally reflecting earnings trends. Investing Activities
Cash provided by investing activities totaled $2.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009, primarily driven by the sale of marketable securities. Cash used in investing activities totaled $260,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2008. Cash provided by or used in investing activities in each of the periods presented related principally to proceeds from the sale of marketable securities, disbursements for additions to property and equipment, capitalized software and our investments in marketable securities. Additions to property and equipment and capitalized software were $202,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2009 compared to $253,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2008. The additions for the six months ended June 30, 2009 primarily related to enhancements to our enterprise performance management system and software purchases for our engineering function. The additions for the six months ended June 30, 2008 primarily related to software and equipment purchases for our engineering and manufacturing functions. Purchases of marketable securities were $2.9 million and $4.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. Proceeds from the sale of marketable securities increased to $5.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009 compared to $4.8 million for the same period in 2008.

Financing Activities
There was no net cash provided by or used in financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2009. Net cash provided by financing activities totaled $2,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2008 related to proceeds from employees exercising stock options.
Commitments
Commitments
At June 30, 2009, we had no material commitments to purchase capital assets. However, planned capital expenditures for the remainder of 2009 are estimated at approximately $235,000, a significant portion of which relates to engineering equipment and tools. The remaining planned purchases relate to enhancement to our manufacturing and general office equipment. Our significant long-term obligations as of June 30, 2009, are our operating leases on facilities and future debt payments related to our credit facility. To date, we have not paid any dividends and do not anticipate paying any dividends in 2009. Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
At June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements including foreign exchange contracts. Other
Management believes that cash generated from operations and borrowing availability under the revolving credit facility, together with cash on hand, will be sufficient to meet our liquidity needs for working capital, capital expenditures and debt service. To the extent that our actual operating results or other developments differ from our expectations, our liquidity could be adversely affected.
We periodically evaluate our liquidity requirements, alternative uses of capital, capital needs and available resources in view of, among other things, our capital expenditure requirements and estimated future operating cash flows. As a result of this process, we have in the past, and may in the future, seek to raise additional capital, refinance or restructure indebtedness, issue additional securities, repurchase shares of our common stock or take a combination of such steps to manage our liquidity and capital resources. In the normal course of business, we may review opportunities for acquisitions, joint ventures or other business combinations. In the event of any such transaction, we may consider using available cash, issuing additional equity securities or increasing our indebtedness or our subsidiaries' indebtedness. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in this Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and other material included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008.
