Certain wafer manufacturers require the Company to forecast wafer starts several months in advance. The Company is committed to take delivery of and pay for a portion of forecasted wafer volume. As of October 2, 2011 and January 2, 2011, the Company had $843,000 and $2.8 million, respectively, of outstanding commitments for the purchase of wafer inventory.

The Company leases its primary facility under a non-cancelable operating lease that expires in 2012. In addition, the Company rents development facilities in Canada and India as well as sales offices in Europe and Asia. Total rent expense, net of sublease income, for the third quarter of 2011 and 2010 was approximately $119,000 and $110,000, respectively, and rent expense for the first nine months of 2011 and 2010 was approximately $349,000 and $347,000, respectively.
