NOTE 4. Cash Dividends
 
On July 5, 2012, we announced that our Board authorized a regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.08 per share.  The $0.08 per share dividend was paid in July 2012 to shareholders of record at the close of business on July 16, 2012.  We released the funds used to pay for this regular quarterly cash dividend during the second quarter of fiscal 2012.  Our Board will determine future regular quarterly cash dividends after giving consideration to our then existing levels of profit, capital requirements, current and forecasted liquidity, as well as financial and other business conditions existing at the time.  As of the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2012 and 2011, total dividends paid in fiscal 2012 and 2011 amounted to $6.8 million and $6.3 million, respectively.
