Note 9. Commitments and Contingencies

Stock Repurchase Program

On February 4, 2009, the Company's board of directors authorized a stock buyback program to repurchase up to an aggregate of $2.0 million of its issued and outstanding common shares. The timing and extent of the repurchase depends upon market conditions, applicable legal requirements, and other factors. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, the Company had not repurchased any shares of its common stock under the stock buyback program. Since the inception of the program, the Company has repurchased 573,218 shares of its common stock at a cost of $1.0 million, at a weighted average price of $1.79 per share.

 

Legal Matters

In the normal course of business, the Company has been, and will likely continue to be, subject to litigation or administrative proceedings incidental to its business, such as claims related to customer disputes, employment practices, wage and hour disputes, product liability, professional liability, commercial disputes, licensure restrictions or denials, and warranty or patent infringement. Responding to litigation or administrative proceedings, regardless of whether they have merit, can be expensive and disruptive to normal business operations. As litigation and the administrative proceedings are inherently uncertain, the Company cannot predict the outcome of such matters. While the ultimate outcome of litigation is always uncertain, the Company does not believe that it will have a material adverse effect on its business or financial results.
