Common Stock Repurchase Program
16.   Common Stock Repurchase Program

On June 13, 2012, we announced that our board of directors approved authorization for us to acquire up to $5.0 million of our common stock. This action replaced prior authorizations to acquire up to $7.0 million of our common stock in fiscal 2012, of which $5.4 million had been used during the fiscal year.

During the three-months ended July 29, 2012, we purchased 47,296 shares of our common stock at a cost of $470,000. In August 2012, we reached the authorized amount of $5.0 million, as we purchased an additional 455,299 shares of our common stock at a cost of approximately $4.5 million. Since our common stock repurchase program was implemented in fiscal 2012, we have repurchased 1.1 million shares of common stock at a cost of $10.4 million.

On August 29, 2012, we announced that our board of directors approved a new authorization for us to acquire up to $2.0 million of our common stock. Under the common stock repurchase program, shares may be purchased from time to time in open market transactions, block trades, through plans established under the Securities Exchange Act Rule 10b5-1, or otherwise. 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.
