Product Revenue
Product revenue decreased $14.5 million to $180.9 million during the year ended December 31, 2012 from $195.4 million during the year ended
December 31, 2011. The decrease in product revenue is caused by a $4.9 million decrease in Global Enterprise & Education product revenues as a result of a
shift from sales of product licenses to sales of renewing online subscriptions as well as due to a decline in Federal stimulus funding which drove sales of our
network CD product. Consumer product revenue decreased $9.6 million driven by lower prices on our Rosetta Stone Version 4  product software
bundle.
Subscription and Service Revenue
Subscription and service revenue increased $19.3 million, or 26%, to $92.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2012. The increase in
subscription and service revenues was due to a $14.6 million increase in consumer online service revenue related to Version 4  as well as a growing
base of exclusively online subscription sales. Global Enterprise & Education subscription and service revenues also increased $4.6 million related to growth
in the enterprise and education customer base with renewing online subscriptions.
We are currently evaluating changes to our products. If we implement additional subscription-based services, it could result in lower revenues over the
next twelve months as revenues would be spread over the subscription period. There was an $11.5 million increase in deferred revenue during the year ended
December 31, 2012, which is primarily related to increased sales of exclusively online subscriptions. In particular, we sold $0.8 million of online subscription
products to Barnes & Noble, as part of our strategy to expand our offerings of online subscription services.

Cost of Product Revenue
Cost of product revenue for the year ended December 31, 2012 was $33.7 million, a decrease of $2.8 million, or 8% from the year ended December 31,
2011. As a percentage of product revenue, cost of product revenue remained at 19% for the year ended December 31, 2012 compared to the prior year period.
The dollar decrease in cost was primarily attributable to a $0.7 million decrease in inventory obsolescence and scrap associated with the international Version 4
 launches in the prior year period as well as a $2.2 million decrease in our hard product inventory costs. We are exploring the possibility of
