Comments of Management

Commenting on the results, Mr. Doron Zinger, RiT's President and CEO, said, "As expected, our third quarter revenues are down compared to the second quarter, reflecting slow Carrier sales. Nonetheless, the quarter was our second in a row with Enterprise sales above $6 million, a significant increase compared to their average level in 2005 and the highest they have been for the past five years. This reflects the success of our sales and marketing efforts together with significant growth in the sales of our OEM partners. As such, our Enterprise business has achieved a healthy new level, and now represents a strong platform for the long term.

"We are pleased to have been able to achieve higher average gross margin for our Enterprise sales this quarter, which, together with the decrease in our operational expenses, enabled us to achieve a material improvement in the bottom line compared to the second quarter.

"In parallel, we are progressing towards closure of a number of Carrier deals that we expect to materialize during the next few quarters."
