18.   Common Stock Repurchase Program

On June 16, 2011, our board of directors authorized the expenditure of up to $5.0 million for the repurchase of shares of our common stock. Under the common stock repurchase program, shares may be purchased from time to time in open market transactions, block trades, and through plans established under Securities Exchange Act Rule 10b5-1. The amount of shares purchased and the timing of such purchases will be based on working capital requirements, market and general business conditions and other factors including alternative investment opportunities. On August 29, 2011, our board of directors authorized the expenditure of an additional $2.0 million, for a total authorization of $7.0 million, for the repurchase of shares of our common stock.

We purchased 624,459 shares of our common stock at a cost of $5.4 million for the nine-month period ending January 29, 2012.
