The following table sets forth cost of product revenue and subscription and service revenue, as well as gross profit for the year ended
December 31, 2011 and 2010:

Cost of product revenue for the year ended December 31, 2011 was $36.5 million, an increase of $3.9 million, or 12%, from the year ended
December 31, 2010. As a percentage of product revenue, cost of product revenue increased to 19% for the year ended December 31, 2011 compared to
15% for the prior year period. The dollar increase in cost was primarily attributable to a $2.9 million increase in expense associated with product support
activities, a $0.6 million increase in freight, and a $0.4 million increase in commission expenses associated with our partners and affiliates. This increase
was slightly offset by a $0.6 million decrease in inventory obsolescence and scrap associated with the U.S. Version 4  launch in the third
quarter of 2010.

Cost of subscription and service revenue for the year ended December 31, 2011 was $12.6 million, an increase of $6.2 million, or 96% from the
year ended December 31, 2010. As a percentage of subscription and service revenue, cost of subscription and service revenue increased to 17% for the
year ended December 31, 2011 compared to 15% for the prior year period. The increase in cost was primarily attributable to our web-based service
offerings in our Version 4  and  products that include a component of dedicated online language conversation coaching and higher
direct costs to deliver to customers than our previous software solutions.
