Comments of Management
"We have reported a 4% increase in revenues compared to the second
quarter, giving us top line growth of 56% compared to the first quarter of
this year," commented Mr. Avi Kovarsky, RiT's President & CEO. "However, this
was well below our expectations, reflecting delays that we experienced in the
closing of several sizeable Enterprise and Carrier orders. We are fully
focused on closing these orders by the end of the year, and continue to work
aggressively to close all of the deals in our sales pipeline. In parallel, we
continue to pursue efficiency throughout the organization with the goal of
preserving our cash."
Mr. Kovarsky continued, "From a products perspective, during the third
quarter we rolled out two products: PatchView Version 6, whose features offer
enhanced support for the datacenter environment; and the EPV, a standalone
infrastructure management solution. To round out our positioning, we also
continued to build out our local representation in key growth markets, as
demonstrated by the strategic representative agreement that we signed during
the quarter with a company based in Singapore.
"We believe the combination of sales activities focused on high-potential
markets and the right products will enable us to report improved results in
the future."
