For the fourth quarter of 2012 GAAP gross margin was -6.0%, down from 46% in the fourth quarter of 2011 due to a $0.7 million inventory write-off in Cost of Goods Sold and lower sales volumes. Non-GAAP gross margin was 27% compared to 46% in the fourth quarter of 2011.

For the twelve month period, GAAP gross margin was 16%, down from 45% in 2011 due to a $0.7 million inventory write-off in Cost of Goods Sold and lower sales volumes. Non-GAAP gross margin was 25% compared to 45% in 2011.

Investment in the development of new products totaled $3.9 million for the twelve-month period, reflecting the Company's on-track development of its PatchView+ and IWON product lines. In 2011, the Company invested $1.9 million in new product development.

Following a thorough evaluation of the Company's legacy product portfolio, RiT's Board of Directors decided to discontinue RiT's Carrier product family, and to focus fully on the accelerated development of its IIM (Intelligent Infrastructure Management) product family and its breakthrough new IWON High-Speed Indoor Wireless Optical Network offerings. During the fourth quarter of 2012, the Company recorded an inventory write-off of approximately $0.7 million.
