Net loss for the second quarter of 2012 was ($6.0) million, or ($0.19) per basic and diluted common share, as compared to a net loss of ($6.1) million, or ($0.20) per basic and diluted common share for the first quarter of 2012, and a net loss of ($3.0) million, or ($0.11) per basic and diluted common share for the second quarter of 2011.
The GAAP gross margin for the second quarter was 67%. This is compared to the Company's GAAP gross margin of 59% for the first quarter of 2012, and 67% for the second quarter of 2011.
Total non-GAAP operating expenses for the second quarter of 2012 were $7.4 million, as compared to $7.5 million in the first quarter of 2012 and $7.5 million in the second quarter of 2011. Non-GAAP operating expenses for the second quarter of 2012 exclude $0.1 million in amortization of purchase price intangibles, $0.4 million in stock-based compensation and $1.0 million in restructuring charges along with a benefit of $0.4 million from the reversal of accrued royalties. Total GAAP operating expenses for the second quarter of 2012 were $8.5 million, as compared to $8.1 million in the first quarter of 2012 and $7.7 million in the second quarter of 2011.
Non-GAAP operating loss for the second quarter of 2012 was ($4.9) million, compared to a non-GAAP operating loss of ($5.3) million for the first quarter of 2012 and a non-GAAP operating loss of ($2.7) million for the second quarter of 2011. On a GAAP basis, the operating loss for the second quarter of 2012 was ($5.9) million, compared to an operating loss of ($5.9) million for the first quarter of 2012 and an operating loss of ($2.9) million for the second quarter of 2011.
Non-GAAP net loss for the second quarter of 2012 was ($5.0) million, or ($0.16) per share, compared with a non-GAAP net loss of ($5.5) million, or ($0.18) per share, for the first quarter of 2012 and a non-GAAP net loss of ($2.8) million, or ($0.10) per share, for the second quarter of 2011.
Further information about non-GAAP measures is provided below and a reconciliation of the non-GAAP measures to the comparable GAAP results is provided after the financial statements attached to this release.
“While second quarter revenue remained soft, we see signs of stabilization in our legacy telecom business as well as increased IP licensing opportunities in the third and fourth quarters of 2012,” stated M. Ali Khatibzadeh, President and CEO of TranSwitch. “In addition, we anticipate initial sales of our new HDplay™ products in the third quarter and a further ramp in the fourth quarter as more customers commence their product launches.” Dr. Khatibzadeh continued, “While we have expanded our customer opportunity list for HDplay™ products to over 50 specific design opportunities, we have also taken three important strategic actions to better position the company for growth of the new video connectivity business. First, primarily through the restructuring of our telecom business, we are reducing our operating expenses by $8 million annually starting in the third quarter of 2012. Second, we have retained Drakes Bay, LLC to sell legacy telecom patents in the near future. Drakes Bay’s detailed analysis of our telecom patent portfolio indicates potentially a very significant valuation and we anticipate being able to monetize these assets through the remainder of the year. Third, we have reached a 2-year agreement with Aspire Capital to raise up to eleven million dollars as needed and at our discretion going forward, subject to the terms and conditions of the agreement. Certainly, our primary approach for generating capital will be through the sale of non-strategic assets such as telecom patents.”

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures to Comparable U.S. GAAP Measures (Unaudited)
Pursuant to the requirements of Regulation G, the Company has provided a reconciliation of each non-GAAP financial measure used in this earnings release and related conference call or webcast to the most directly comparable financial measure prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). The reconciliation for historic non-GAAP measures is provided herein on a quantitative basis and for non-GAAP measures that are forward-looking is provided herein on a qualitative basis.
The non-GAAP measures used in this earnings release and related conference call differ from GAAP in that they exclude expenses related to stock-based compensation, amortization of intangible assets, the effects of special charges such as asset impairments, restructuring charges and benefits from the reversal of accrued royalties. The Company’s basis for these adjustments is described below. Management uses these non-GAAP measures for internal reporting and forecasting purposes. The Company has provided these non-GAAP financial measures in addition to GAAP financial results because it believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to certain investors and financial analysts for comparison across accounting periods not influenced by certain non-cash items that are not used by management when evaluating the Company’s historical and prospective financial performance.
Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures when evaluating the Company’s operating performance and believes that such measures are useful to investors and financial analysts in assessing the Company’s operating performance as the Company believes that the presentation of non-GAAP measures that adjust for the impact of stock-based compensation expenses, amortization of intangible assets, the effects of special charges such as asset impairments and restructuring charges and benefits from the reversal of accrued royalties provides investors and financial analysts with a consistent basis for comparison across accounting periods and, therefore, are useful to investors and financial analysts in helping them to better understand the Company’s operating results and underlying operational trends.
We do not provide forward-looking GAAP measures or a reconciliation of the forward-looking non-GAAP measures to GAAP measures because of our inability to project special charges, asset impairments, employee separation costs and stock-based compensation related expenses.
The non-GAAP financial measures we provide have certain limitations because they do not reflect all of the costs associated with the operation of our business as determined in accordance with GAAP. The non-GAAP measures are in addition to, and not a substitute for, or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP and may be different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies. We endeavor to compensate for the limitations of these non-GAAP measures by providing GAAP financial statements, descriptions of the reconciling items and a reconciliation of the non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures so that investors can appropriately incorporate the non-GAAP measures and their limitations into their analyses. Please see our financial statements and "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial Condition" that will be included in the periodic report we expect to file with the SEC with respect to the financial periods discussed herein.
