The reduction in accrued compensation and related expenses at December 31, 2011 compared with December 31, 2010, primarily reflects (1) a lower headcount; (2) no executive bonus accrual in 2011 as the executive performance objectives were not achieved; and (3) a reduction in discretionary non-executive bonuses.
