Financial Highlights
--------------------
- Revenue of $22.7 million for Q2 2010 represents an increase of
41% compared with $16.1 million for Q2 2009. Product revenue for
Q2 2010 was $17.1 million, an increase of 47%, compared with
$11.7 million for Q2 2009.
- On a year-to-date basis, revenues of $47.2 million are 56% higher
than revenues in the first six months of fiscal 2009.
- Q2 2010 gross margin was $15.0 million (66% of revenue) versus
$12.1 million (75% of revenue) in Q2 2009, reflecting increases in
direct product costs associated with the delivery of integrated
systems, investments in operations support infrastructure, as well as
increased global professional services engagements.

revenue), net of $0.6 million of investment tax credits, compared

year-over-year increase in operating expenses mainly reflects higher

versus $4.1 million in Q2 2009. Net earnings before income taxes for

diluted, versus $4.1 million, or $0.17 per share fully diluted, in
the prior year. Net earnings for Q2 2010 include a current income tax
expense of $0.6 million and non-cash future income tax expense of
$0.9 million.
