“We had lower than anticipated sales in the second quarter due to the push out of some IP licensing opportunities,” stated Dr. M. Ali Khatibzadeh, President and CEO of TranSwitch Corporation. “We continue to negotiate these opportunities with prospective customers towards reaching agreements soon. As a result of lower sales in the quarter, we have taken decisive restructuring actions to further reduce our operating expenses. Starting in the current quarter, we now estimate our quarterly non-GAAP operating expenses to run in the range of $4.3-$4.8 million. On the business front, we continued to make progress in expanding our HDplay™ traction with 13 customers so far reaching design-win stage and we anticipate orders from many of them in the second half of this year. In addition to the current design wins, our new HDplay™ products with MHL and MyDP video connectivity features are getting designed in by a number of new customers, including tier-1 electronics OEMs for pico-projectors, active cables, tablets and digital TVs. Based on customer projections, we expect these opportunities to reach the design-win stage and production starting as early as the fourth quarter of 2013.”
