LIQUIDITY [abstract]
LIQUIDITY	LIQUIDITY The Company reported a net loss from continuing operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 of $53,000 and $2.2 million, respectively, and a loss from continuing operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 of approximately $1.4 million and $4.3 million, respectively.

Approximately 68% of our cash is held by our foreign subsidiaries and we are limited in the amounts we can repatriate for use in paying corporate expenses, investing in developing products in the United States and paying corporate debt. In combination with forecast cash flows from operations and existing financing arrangements, the Company believes it has sufficient funding to support its working capital requirements during the next 12 months and beyond. The Company has a substantial backlog as of September 30, 2011, of which substantially all is for foreign operations and which is expected to ship within the next 12 months. The Company continues to experience sufficient booking levels to support future shipments. The Company expects the fourth quarter of 2011 to have a high level of shipments against the existing backlog of orders, which will result in improved cash from operations in the first quarter of 2012. In order to support its future expected growth, the Company will need to reinvest a substantial amount of this cash from operations back into the business for inventory purchases, engineering and product development, and personnel.

The ability of the Company to support its business plan is dependent upon its ability to achieve profitable operations, manage costs and satisfy long-term debt service obligations, of which principal payments become due in the first quarter of 2012. The steady reductions in losses over the past several quarters reflect a significant improvement in the Company's operational performance. Management believes the Company is positioned to achieve profitability for the fourth quarter and potentially future periods as a result of its significant order book and relationships with its customers. Management also believes it can successfully manage costs through active and ongoing cost management processes. Management believes the Company will be able to satisfy its long-term debt service obligations, of which principal payments commence in February of 2012, through cash generated from operations, subject to the Company's ability to repatriate cash from its foreign subsidiaries. However, if it is unable to satisfy these long-term debt obligations, the Company may be required to sell additional assets or stock, complete a recapitalization, or consummate a merger transaction in order to continue operations. Successfully executing these strategies to satisfy long-term debt obligations is uncertain and there are many short term and long term risks associated with attempting to execute each of these strategies. Failure to meet the Company’s financing requirements, if and when needed, would have an adverse effect on the Company’s operations and could have a material adverse effect on the Company's ability to do business, continue its growth, develop new products, fulfill existing or future orders, or secure new customers or product orders.

The Company reported a net loss from continuing operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 of $53,000 and $2.2 million, respectively, and a loss from continuing operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 of approximately $1.4 million and $4.3 million, respectively. The Company reported working capital of $7.8 million at September 30, 2011.
