DEBT AGREEMENTS	9 Months Ended

DEBT AGREEMENTS	10. DEBT AGREEMENTS We are party to a domestic credit agreement that provides us with a $15.0 million revolving credit facility and maximum outstanding letters of credit of $3.0 million.  Borrowings under this agreement may be used for general corporate purposes and bear interest at a floating rate, based either on LIBOR or the prime rate, plus an applicable margin.  The agreement contains financial covenant, including restrictions on incurring additional debt, making acquisitions or paying dividends if we report a cumulative net loss for four consecutive quarters.   We also have an uncommitted credit facility in Taiwan in the amount of 100.0 million New Taiwan Dollars (approximately $3.5 million) in addition to a £1.0 million revolving credit facility in the United Kingdom and a €1.5 million revolving credit facility in Germany.  The domestic and United Kingdom facilities mature on December 7, 2012.  The credit facility in Germany does not have an expiration date. On March 7, 2011 we entered into an uncommitted credit facility in China in the amount of 20.0 million Chinese Yuan (approximately $3.0 million) and amended our domestic credit agreement to accommodate the new facility.  This facility expires on February 24, 2012. All of our credit facilities are unsecured. At July 31, 2011, we had $854,000 of borrowings outstanding under our credit facility in China, but had no other debt or borrowings under any of our other credit facilities.  At July 31, 2011, we were in compliance with all covenants contained in the related credit agreements and, as of that date, we had unutilized credit facilities of $24.5 million.
