2. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In July 2012, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2012-02, Intangibles- Goodwill and Other- Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment (ASU 2012-02). Under the amendments in this update, the Company has the option first to assess qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events or circumstances leads to a determination that it is more likely than not that the indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired. If, after assessing the totality of events or circumstances, the Company concludes that it is not more likely than not that the indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired, then the Company is not required to take further action. However, if the Company concludes otherwise, then it is required to determine the fair value of the indefinite-lived intangible asset and perform the quantitative impairment test by comparing the fair value with the carrying amount in accordance with subtopic 350-30. Under the amendments in this update, the Company has the option to bypass the qualitative assessment for any indefinite-lived intangible asset in any period and proceed directly to performing the quantitative impairment test. The Company may resume performing the qualitative assessment in any subsequent period. The provisions of this update will be effective for the Company in fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012, and for the interim periods within fiscal years with early adoption permitted. The Company believes the adoption of this new guidance will not have a material impact on its consolidated results of operations or financial position.

Capital Stock Disclosure [Abstract]

Capital Stock Disclosure [Text Block]

10. Capital Stock

Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”)

In 2000, the Company approved the ESPP. Under the ESPP, participating employees can authorize the Company to withhold a portion of their base pay during consecutive six-month payment periods for the purchase of shares of the Company's common stock. At the conclusion of the period, participating employees can purchase shares of the Company's common stock at 85% of the lower of the fair market value of the Company's common stock at the beginning or end of the period. Shares are issued under the plan for the six-month periods ending June 30 and December 31. Under this plan, 500,000 shares of common stock are authorized for issuance, of which 435,972 shares were issued as of June 30, 2012. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, the Company issued 25,597 shares of the Company's common stock under the ESPP. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, the Company issued 22,587 shares of the Company's common stock under the ESPP.

Stock Option Plans

The Company accounts for share-based payment awards in accordance with the provisions of FASB ASC 718 “Compensation- Stock Compensation”, which requires the Company to recognize compensation expense for all share-based payment awards made to employees and directors including employee stock options, restricted stock units (“RSUs”) and employee stock purchases related to the ESPP.

On May 24, 2012, the Board of Directors approved the grant, as of June 1, 2012, of 349,295 RSUs and 1,210,934 stock options under the Third Amended and Restated 2000 Stock Option and Incentive Plan (“2000 Plan”). The RSUs were valued at the closing stock price on the date of grant. The Company utilized the Black-Scholes valuation model for estimating the fair value of the stock-based compensation.

Stock option and RSU activity under the Stock Option Plans for the six months ended June 30, 2012 was as follows:

			Stock Options			Restricted Stock Units
					Weighted
			Stock		Average	Restricted
		Available	Options		Exercise	Stock Units		Grant Date
		for Grant	Outstanding		Price	Outstanding		Fair Value

Balance at December 31, 2011		2,700,645	8,519,575	$	4.52	539,450	$	4.32
	Granted	(1,560,229)	1,210,934		3.59	349,295		3.57
	Fungible share adjustment for RSU's granted	(275,943)	-		-	-		-
	Exercised	-	(97,500)		4.09	-		-
	Vested (RSU's)	-	-		-	(164,090)		-
	Shares withheld for taxes	45,912	-		-	-		-
	Cancelled / forfeited	959,962	(912,500)		6.58	(47,462)		4.21
	Fungible share adjustment for RSU's cancelled	11,109	-		-	-		-
Balance at June 30, 2012		1,881,456	8,720,509	$	4.19	677,193	$	3.97

The following assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of stock options and RSU's granted during the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2012 and 2011:

	Three Months Ended				Six Months Ended
	June 30,				June 30,
	2012		2011		2012		2011
Volatility	55.07	%	54.24	%	55.09	%	54.24	%
Risk-free interest rate	0.78	%	2.01	%	0.80	%	2.01	%
Expected holding period (in years)	5.98		5.94		5.98		5.94
Dividend Yield	0.00	%	0.00	%	0.00	%	0.00	%

The weighted average fair values of the options granted under the 2000 Plan during the six months ended June 30, 2012 was $1.84, using the Black Scholes option-pricing model.

The Company used historical volatility to estimate the expected stock price volatility assumption. Historical volatility was determined by calculating the mean reversion of the daily-adjusted closing stock price. The risk-free interest rate assumption is based upon observed U.S. Treasury bill interest rates (risk free) appropriate for the term of the Company's employee stock options. The expected holding period of employee stock options represents the period of time options are expected to be outstanding and is based on historical experience. The vesting period is generally 4 years and the contractual life is 10 years.

Stock-based compensation expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 consisted of stock-based compensation expense related to employee stock options, RSUs and the ESPP.

Stock-based compensation expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively, was allocated as follows:

		Three Months Ended				Six Months Ended
		June 30,				June 30,
		2012		2011		2012		2011
		(in thousands)

Cost of product revenues	$	22	$	20	$	38	$	34
Sales and marketing		29		26		90		64
General and administrative		661		609		1,275		1,109
Research and development		6		3		12		3
Total stock-based compensation	$	718	$	658	$	1,415	$	1,210

The Company did not capitalize any stock-based compensation.

Weighted Average Common Shares Outstanding

Basic income per share is based upon net income divided by the number of weighted average common shares outstanding during the period. The calculation of diluted net income per share assumes conversion of stock options into common stock using the treasury method. The weighted average number of shares used to compute basic and diluted earnings per share consists of the following:

`	Three Months Ended		Six Months Ended
	June 30,		June 30,
	2012	2011	2012	2011

Basic	28,767,786	28,428,019	28,738,772	28,408,437
Effect of assumed conversion of employee and director stock options and restricted stock units	827,463	1,759,223	895,016	1,435,509
Diluted	29,595,249	30,187,242	29,633,788	29,843,946

Excluded from the shares used in calculating the diluted earnings per common share in the above table are options to purchase approximately 4,466,845 and 2,332,780 shares of common stock for the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively, as the impact of these shares would be anti-dilutive. Excluded from the shares used in calculating the diluted earnings per common share in the above table are options to purchase approximately 4,399,239 and 2,964,255 shares of common stock for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively, as the impact of these shares would be anti-dilutive.

- Definition

Change in the balance sheet adjustment that results from the process of translating subsidiary financial statements and foreign equity investments into functional currency of the reporting entity for the period being reported, net of tax. If an entity's functional currency is a foreign currency, translation adjustments result from the process of translating that entity's financial statements into the reporting currency. Includes gain (loss) on foreign currency forward exchange contracts. Includes foreign currency transactions designated as hedges of net investment in a foreign entity and intercompany foreign currency transactions that are of a long-term nature, when the entities to the transaction are consolidated, combined, or accounted for by the equity method in the reporting enterprise's financial statements. Includes the gain (loss) on a derivative instrument or nonderivative financial instrument that may give rise to a foreign currency transaction gain (loss) and that have been designated and have qualified as hedging instruments for hedges of the foreign currency exposure of a net investment in a foreign operation.
