Additional Information

Within overall revenue growth, product revenue improved $1.2 million, services revenue improved $6.7 million and financing revenue declined $1.8 million. The gross margin decline includes a product gross margin reduction of $2.3 million, a services gross margin increase of $2.1 million and a financing gross margin decline of $1.2 million. Within operating expenses, salaries and related expenses declined $2.2 million and professional services expenses declined $0.9 million. The decline in professional services expenses reflects lower fees for lawyers and the monitor related to the SBA administrative agreement. As reported in the 2011 10-K filing, during the quarter we sublet excess space in our headquarters facility which resulted in a one-time charge of $606K which represents the difference between actual rental expense and the $1.3 million in sublease payments expected over the term of the sublease. The expense reduction realized from the sublease will be recognized in future quarters.
