"Our second quarter revenue came in 11% below first quarter's level," commented Rami Hadar, Allot Communications' President and Chief Executive Officer. "The sequential revenues' decline was mostly the result of unfulfilled revenue recognition terms of a $5 million deal with an EMEA Tier 1 operator. We expect this deal to materialize during the second half of the year. We are encouraged by the surge in demand for our DPI solution, as well as for our VAS, as demonstrated by the all-time, record booking level achieved during the quarter. In the second quarter we made good progress with our Tier 1 mobile U.S. operator, increasing the announced follow-on order to more than $10 million. We expect that the booking results of the last two quarters will set a good foundation to resumed growth in the following quarters."

GAAP to Non-GAAP Reconciliation

The discrepancy between GAAP and non-GAAP revenues is related to the acquisitions made by the Company during the year and represents revenues adjusted for the impact of the fair value adjustment to acquired deferred revenue related to purchase accounting. Non-GAAP net profit is defined as GAAP net profit after including deferred revenues related to the fair value adjustment resulting from purchase accounting and excluding stock based compensation expenses, amortization of acquisition related intangible assets, regulatory matters, acquisition related expenses and compensation expenses related to the acquisitions.

These non-GAAP measures should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for, comparable GAAP measures. The non-GAAP results and a full reconciliation between GAAP and non-GAAP results are provided in the accompanying Table 2. The Company provides these non-GAAP financial measures because it believes they present a better measure of the Company's core business and management uses the non-GAAP measures internally to evaluate the Company's ongoing performance. Accordingly, the Company believes they are useful to investors in enhancing an understanding of the Company's operating performance.
