Common Stock Repurchase [Abstract]  
COMMON STOCK REPURCHASE
COMMON STOCK REPURCHASE
On October 28, 2014, our Board of Directors authorized a new program to repurchase up to $15.0 million of our common stock primarily to return capital to shareholders and to support our employee stock purchase program. This new authorization began on November 1, 2014 and expires on October 31, 2015. Shares repurchased under the program may be made through the open market and privately negotiated transactions from time to time and in amounts that management deems appropriate. The amount and timing of share repurchases will depend upon market conditions and other corporate considerations. We did not repurchase shares under this program during the first six months of fiscal 2015.
Our prior share repurchase authorization program expired on October 31, 2014. During the month of October 2014, we repurchased 287,787 shares under this program for $2.3 million.
In addition to the shares repurchased under the prior Board authorized repurchase program, during the six months ended March 31, 2015, our employees forfeited 9,371 shares in order to satisfy $0.1 million of withholding tax obligations related to stock-based compensation, pursuant to terms of awards under our board and shareholder-approved compensation plans.
