Common Stock Repurchase Program	17.  Common Stock Repurchase Program On June 15, 2016, we announced that our board of directors approved an authorization for us to acquire up to $5.0 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. During the six months ended October 29, 2017, and October 30, 2016, we did not purchase any shares of our common stock. At October 29, 2017, we had $5.0 million available for repurchases of our common stock.
