In June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued a standard which provides guidance to improve the relevance, representational faithfulness, and comparability of the information that a reporting entity provides in its financial statements about a transfer of financial assets; the effects of a transfer on its financial position, financial performance, and cash flows; and a transferor’s continuing involvement, if any, in transferred financial assets. The standard is effective as of the beginning of each reporting entity’s first annual reporting period that begins after November 15, 2009, for interim periods within that first annual reporting period and for interim and annual reporting periods thereafter. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.
In October 2009, the FASB issued a standard which establishes the accounting and reporting guidance for arrangements including multiple revenue-generating activities. This standard provides amendments to the criteria for separating deliverables, measuring and allocating arrangement consideration to one or more units of accounting. The amendments in this standard also establish a selling price hierarchy for determining the selling price of a deliverable. Significantly enhanced disclosures are also required to provide information about a vendor’s multiple-deliverable revenue arrangements, including information about the nature and terms, significant deliverables, and its performance within arrangements. The amendments also require providing information about the significant judgments made and changes to those judgments and about how the application of the relative selling-price method affects the timing or amount of revenue recognition. The amendments in this standard are effective prospectively for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified in fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010. Early application is permitted. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.
In October 2009, the FASB issued a standard which changes the accounting model for revenue arrangements that include both tangible products and software elements that are “essential to the functionality” and scopes these products out of current software revenue guidance. The new guidance will include factors to help companies determine what software elements are considered “essential to the functionality.” The amendments will now subject software-enabled products to other revenue guidance and disclosure requirements, such as guidance surrounding revenue arrangements with multiple deliverables. The amendments in this standard are effective prospectively for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified in the fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010. Early application is permitted. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.
In January 2010, the FASB issued additional guidance for improving disclosures about fair value measurement. Under this guidance, two new disclosures are required: (i) significant transfers in and out of Level 1 and 2 measurements and the reasons for the transfers and (ii) a gross presentation of activity within the Level 3 rollforward. The guidance is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements in the rollforward of activity in Level 3 fair value measurements. Those disclosures are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.
In December 2010, the FASB issued an amendment which affects entities that have recognized goodwill and have one or more reporting units whose carrying amounts for the purposes of Step 1 of the goodwill impairment test is zero or negative. The amendment modifies Step 1 so that for those reporting units, the entity is required to perform Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test if it is more likely than not that a goodwill impairment exists. In determining whether it is more likely than not that a goodwill impairment exists, an entity should consider whether there are adverse qualitative factors, including the examples provided in Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) paragraph 350-20-35-30, in determining whether an interim goodwill impairment test between annual test dates is necessary. The standard allows an entity to use either the equity or enterprise valuation premise to determine the carrying amount of a reporting unit. This standard is effective for the Company for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2010. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.
In December 2010, the FASB issued an amendment which specifies that if a public entity presents comparative financial statements, the entity should disclose revenue and earnings of the combined entity as though the business combination(s) that occurred during the current year had occurred as of the beginning of the comparable prior annual reporting period only. The amendment also expands the supplemental pro forma disclosures under Topic 805 to include a description of the nature and amount of material, nonrecurring pro forma adjustments directly attributable to the business combination included in the reported pro forma revenue and earnings. The amendment is effective prospectively for business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2010. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.

Overview
We develop, market and sell wireless solutions for managing and securing high-value enterprise assets. These assets include industrial vehicles, such as forklifts, airport ground support equipment, rental vehicles, and transportation assets, such as dry van trailers, refrigerated trailers, railcars and containers. Our patented systems utilize radio frequency identification (RFID), Wi-Fi, satellite or cellular communications, and sensor technology to address the needs of organizations to control, track, monitor and analyze their assets. Our solutions enable customers to achieve tangible economic benefits by making timely, informed decisions that increase the security, productivity and efficiency of their operations.
We have focused our business activities on three primary applications: (i) industrial fleet management, (ii) transportation asset management, and (iii) rental fleet management. Our solution for industrial fleet management allows our customers to reduce operating costs and capital expenditures and to comply with certain safety regulations by accurately and reliably measuring and controlling fleet activity. This solution also enhances security at industrial facilities and areas of critical infrastructure, such as airports, by controlling access to, and restricting the use of, vehicles and equipment. Our solution for transportation asset management allows our customers to increase revenue per asset deployed, reduce fleet size, and improve the monitoring and control of sensitive cargo. Our solution for rental fleet management assists rental car companies in generating higher revenue by more accurately tracking vehicle data, such as fuel consumption and odometer readings, and improving customer service by expediting the rental and return processes. In addition, our wireless solution for “carsharing” enables rental car companies to establish a network of vehicles positioned strategically around cities, control vehicles remotely, manage member reservations by phone or Internet, and charge members for vehicle use by the hour.
In addition to focusing on these core applications, we adapt our systems to meet our customers’ broader asset management needs and seek opportunities to expand our solution offerings through strategic acquisitions. In 2009, for example, we acquired Didbox Ltd., a privately held, United Kingdom-based manufacturer and marketer of vehicle operator identification systems, which provides us with a wider range of industrial vehicle management solutions and expands our base of operations in Europe. On January 7, 2010, we acquired the Asset Intelligence business unit of the General Electric Company, which provides trailer, railcar, and container tracking solutions for manufacturers, retailers, shippers and freight transportation providers, through the acquisition of Asset Intelligence, LLC (“Asset Intelligence” or “AI”), which became our wholly owned subsidiary following the acquisition. We believe that the Asset Intelligence business complements the Company’s existing businesses, as the focus of Asset Intelligence on trucking, rail, and intermodal applications significantly expands the scope of assets addressed by the Company’s product solutions. The web and mobile communications
22
technologies of Asset Intelligence also complement I.D. Systems’ portfolio of wireless asset management patents. In addition, the acquisition has provided the Company with access to a broader base of customers.
AI combines web-based software technologies with satellite and cellular communications to deliver data-driven telematics solutions for supply chain asset management. These solutions help secure and optimize the performance of trailers, railcars, containers, and the freight they carry, enabling shippers and carriers to maximize security and efficiency throughout their supply chains.
AI’s VeriWise™ product platform provides comprehensive real-time data for faster, more informed decision-making in multiple supply chain applications:
| | |
| • | Asset Optimization—combining web-based asset visibility and advanced telemetry data to monitor the condition of fleet assets, streamline asset deployment, optimize utilization, and maximize return on investment. |
| | |
| • | Cold Chain Management—maintaining the condition and quality of temperature-sensitive cargo from point A to point B, and all the points in between. |
| | |
| • | Fleet Maintenance—utilizing sensor technologies, real-time data and a wealth of transportation maintenance knowledge to help control maintenance costs, improve preventative maintenance practices, increase asset up-time, extend asset life, and reduce overall cost of ownership. |
| | |
| • | Fuel Management—monitoring key factors in fuel consumption, such as tire pressure and engine idle time, to help optimize fuel performance and reduce transportation costs. |
| | |
| • | Security & Safety—protecting valuable assets and cargo throughout the supply chain. |
We sell our solutions to both executive and division-level management. Typically, our initial system deployment serves as a basis for potential expansion across the customer’s organization. We work closely with customers to help maximize the utilization and benefits of our system and demonstrate the value of enterprise-wide deployments. Post-implementation, we consult with our customers to further extend and customize the benefits to the enterprise by delivering enhanced analytics capabilities.
We market and sell our solutions to a wide range of customers in the commercial and government sectors. Our customers operate in diverse markets, such as automotive manufacturing, heavy industry, retail and wholesale distribution, transportation, aviation, aerospace and defense, homeland security and vehicle rental.

Risks to Our Business
During the three months ended March 31, 2011, we generated revenues of $7.8 million, and the Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. and the Raymond Corporation accounted for 20% and 13% of our revenues, respectively. During the three months ended March 31, 2010, we generated revenues of $6.1 million, and the Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. accounted for 30% of our revenues.
We are highly dependent upon sales of our system to a few customers. The loss of any of these key customers, or any material reduction in the amount of our products they purchase during a particular period, could materially and adversely affect our revenues for such period. Conversely, a material increase in the amount of our products purchased by a key customer (or customers) during a particular period could result in a significant increase in our revenues for such period, and such increased revenues may not recur in subsequent periods. Some of these key customers, as well as other customers of the Company, operate in markets that have suffered business downturns in the past few years or may so suffer in the future, particularly in light of the current global economic downturn, and any material adverse change in the financial condition of such customers could materially and adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations. If we are unable to replace such revenue from existing or new customers, the market price of our common stock could decline significantly.
We expect that many customers who utilize our solutions will do so as part of a large-scale deployment of these solutions across multiple or all divisions of their organizations. A customer’s decision to deploy our solutions throughout its organization will involve a significant commitment of its resources. Accordingly, initial implementations may precede any decision to deploy our solutions enterprise-wide. Throughout this sales cycle, we may spend considerable time and expense educating and providing information to prospective customers about the benefits of our solutions.
The timing of the deployment of our solutions may vary widely and will depend on the specific deployment plan of each customer, the complexity of the customer’s organization and the difficulty of such deployment. Customers with substantial or complex organizations may deploy our solutions in large increments on a periodic basis. Accordingly, we may receive purchase orders for significant dollar amounts on an irregular and unpredictable basis. Because of our limited operating history and the nature of our business, we cannot predict the timing or size of these sales and deployment cycles. Long sales cycles, as well as our expectation that customers will tend to place large orders sporadically with short lead times, may cause our revenue and results of operations to vary significantly and unexpectedly from quarter to quarter. These variations could materially and adversely affect the market price of our common stock.
Our ability to increase our revenues and generate net income will depend on a number of factors, including, for example, our ability to:
| | |
| • | increase sales of products and services to our existing customers; |
| | |
| • | convert our initial programs into larger or enterprise-wide purchases by our customers; |
| | |
| • | increase market acceptance and penetration of our products; and |
| | |
| • | develop and commercialize new products and technologies. |
Additional risks and uncertainties to which we are subject are described under the heading “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.
Critical Accounting Policies
For the three months ended March 31, 2011, there were no significant changes to the Company’s critical accounting policies as identified in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.

REVENUES. Revenues increased by $1.7 million, or 27.9%, to $7.8 million in the three months ended March 31, 2011 from $6.1 million in the same period in 2010. The increase in revenue is principally attributable to an increase in industrial and rental fleet management revenue of $1.8 million to $4.0 million in 2011 from $2.2 million in 2010. Transportation asset management revenue remained consistent at $3.9 million in 2011 and 2010.
Revenues from products increased by $1.8 million, or 88.0%, to $3.8 million in the three months ended March 31, 2011 from $2.0 million in the same period in 2010. Industrial and rental fleet management product revenue increased by $1.6 million to $3.1 million in 2011 from $1.5 million in 2010. Transportation asset management product revenue increased by $0.2 million to $0.7 million in 2011 from $0.5 million in 2010. The increase in industrial and rental fleet management product revenue of $1.6 million resulted principally from increased product sales to the Raymond Corporation of $0.7 million, the U.S. Postal Service of $0.6 million and the Ford Motor Company of $0.4 million.
Revenues from services decreased by $0.1 million, or 1.7%, to $4.0 million in the three months ended March 31, 2011 from $4.1 million in the same period in 2010. Industrial and rental fleet management service revenue increased $0.2 million to $0.9 million in 2011 from $0.7 million in 2010. Transportation asset management service revenue decreased $0.3 million to $3.1 million in 2011 from $3.4 million in 2010 principally due to decrease in revenue from Wal-Mart Stores, Inc.

COST OF REVENUES. Cost of revenues increased by $1.0 million, or 34.1%, to $3.7 million in the three months ended March 31, 2011 from $2.7 million for the same period in 2010. The increase is principally attributable to the increase in product revenue in 2011. Gross profit was $4.2 million in 2011 compared to $3.4 million in 2009. As a percentage of revenues, gross profit decreased to 53.1% in 2011 from 55.3% in 2010.
Cost of products increased by $1.2 million, or 123.7%, to $2.2 million in the three months ended March 31, 2011 from $1.0 million in the same period in 2010. Gross profit for products was $1.6 million in 2011 compared to $1.0 million in 2010. The increase in gross profit was attributable to a $0.7 million increase in the industrial and rental fleet management gross profit to $1.4 million in 2011 from $0.7 million in 2010 offset by a $0.1 million decrease in the transportation asset management gross profit to $0.2 million in 2011 from $0.3 million in 2010. As a percentage of product revenues, gross profit decreased to 42.7% in 2011 from 51.8% in 2010. The decrease in gross profit as a percent of product revenue was due to transportation asset management product revenue contributing a lower gross profit percentage of 26.4% in 2011 from 69.2% in 2010 principally due to increasing hardware sales and the industrial and rental fleet management gross profit percentage of 46.6% in 2011 remaining relatively consistent with the gross profit margin of 45.6% in 2010.
Cost of services decreased by $0.3 million, or 15.4%, to $1.5 million, in the three months ended March 31, 2011 from $1.8 million in the same period in 2010. Gross profit for services was $2.5 million in 2011 compared to $2.3 million in 2010. The increase in gross profit was attributable to a $0.1 million increase in the industrial and rental fleet management gross profit to $0.5 million in 2011from $0.4 million in 2010 and an increase in the transportation asset management gross profit of $0.1 million to $2.0 million in 2011 from $1.9 million in 2010. As a percentage of service revenues, gross profit increased to 63.0% in 2011 from 57% in 2010. The increase in gross profit as a percent of service revenue was due to an increase in the industrial and rental fleet management gross profit percentage to 53.7% in 2011 from 51.1% in 2010 and an increase in the transportation asset management gross profit percentage to 65.7% in 2011 from 58.2% in 2010.
SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES. Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased by $1.4 million, or 21.3%, to $5.1 million in the three months ended March 31, 2011 compared to $6.5 million in the same period in 2010 due primarily to a decrease in payroll-related and stock-based compensation expense of $0.9 million and a decrease in consulting expenses of $0.3 million. As a percentage of revenues, selling, general and administrative expenses decreased to 65.0% in the three months ended March 31, 2011 from 105.7% in the same period in 2010, primarily due to the increase in revenue in 2011 and the cost reductions noted above as a result of the synergies achieved from the acquisition and integration of AI.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT EXPENSES. Research and development expenses decreased by $0.3 million, or 21.5%, to $0.9 million in the three months ended March 31, 2011 from $1.2 million in the same period in 2010 due primarily to a decrease in payroll-related and stock-based compensation expense of $0.1 million and a decrease in consulting expenses of $0.1 million. As a percentage of revenues, research and development expenses decreased to 11.6% in the three months ended March 31, 2011 from 18.8% in the same period in 2010, primarily due to the increase in revenues in 2011 and the cost reductions noted above as a result of the synergies achieved from the acquisition and integration of AI.
INTEREST INCOME. Interest income decreased by $162,000, or 77.5%, to $47,000 in the three months ended March 31, 2011 from $209,000 in the same period in 2010. This decrease was attributable primarily to the decrease in cash and investments.
INTEREST EXPENSE. Interest expense decreased by $30,000 to $-0- in the three months ended March 31, 2011 from $30,000 in the same period in 2010. This decrease was due to the Company’s repayment of the UBS line of credit borrowing facility during July 2010.
27
OTHER INCOME/EXPENSE. Other income of $28,000 in the three months ended March 31, 2011 increased $27,000 from other income of $1,000 in the same period in 2010. Other income for the three months ended March 31, 2011 consists principally of investment income of $22,000.
NET LOSS. Net loss was $1.8 million, or $(0.16) per basic and diluted share, for the three months ended March 31, 2011 as compared to net loss of $4.1 million, or $(0.36) per basic and diluted share, for the same period in 2010. The increase in the net loss was due primarily to the reasons described above.
28
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Historically, the Company’s capital requirements have been funded primarily from the net proceeds from the sale of its securities, including the sale of its common stock upon the exercise of options and warrants. As of March 31, 2011, the Company had cash and marketable securities of $26.0 million and working capital of $24.3 million compared to $28.4 million and $24.8 million, respectively, as of December 31, 2010.
Operating Activities
Net cash used in operating activities was $2.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011, compared to net cash used in operating activities of $2.9 million for the same period in 2010. The net cash used in operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2011 reflects a net loss of $1.8 million and includes non-cash charges of $0.3 million for stock-based compensation and $0.6 million for depreciation and amortization expense. Changes in working capital items included:
| | |
| • | a decrease in accounts receivable of $1.5 million resulting from increased cash collections; |
| | |
| • | an increase in prepaid expenses and other assets of $1.0 million; |
| | |
| • | an increase in deferred costs of $0.5 million; |
| | |
| • | an increase in deferred revenue of $0.3 million; |
| | |
| • | an increase in inventory of $0.4 million; and |
| | |
| • | a decrease in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $0.9 million, primarily due to the timing of payments to our vendors. |
Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities was $1.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011, compared to net cash used in investing activities of $8.4 million for the same period in 2010. Net cash used in investing activities in 2011 consisted principally of the purchase of investments. The change from the same period in 2010 was primarily due to $15.0 million used for the purchase of AI partially offset by redemptions of investments of $9.9 million.
Financing Activities
Net cash used in financing activities was $0.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011, compared to net cash used in financing activities of $2.2 million for the same period in 2010. Net cash used in investing activities in 2011 consisted principally of $0.4 million of treasury shares purchases.
29
Capital Requirements
We believe that with the proceeds received from our public offering that was completed by us in March 2006 and the cash we have on hand we will have sufficient funds available to cover our working capital requirements for at least the next 12 months.
Our capital requirements depend on a variety of factors, including, but not limited to, the length of the sales cycle, the rate of increase or decrease in our existing business base, the success, timing, and amount of investment required to bring new products to market, revenue growth or decline and potential acquisitions. Failure to generate positive cash flow from operations will have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. We may determine in the future that we require additional funds to meet our long-term strategic objectives, including for the completion of potential acquisitions. Any additional equity financing may be dilutive to stockholders, and debt financing, if available, may involve significant restrictive covenants, and we cannot assure you that such financing will be extended on terms acceptable to us, or at all.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have, or are reasonably likely to have, a current or future effect on our financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.
Contractual Obligations
As of March 31, 2011, there have been no material changes in contractual obligations as disclosed under the caption “Contractual Obligations” in Item 7 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010.
Inflation
Inflation has not had, nor is it expected to have, a material impact on our consolidated financial results.
Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
The Company is subject to recently issued accounting standards, accounting guidance and disclosure requirements. For a description of these new accounting standards, see Note 24 (entitled “RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS”) of the Notes to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements contained in Item 1 of Part I of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, which is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
We are subject to market risk from changes in interest rates, which could affect our future results of operations and financial condition. We manage our exposure to these risks through our regular operating and financing activities. As of March 31, 2011, we had cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities of $26.0 million.
Our cash and cash equivalents consist of cash, money market funds, and short-term investments with original maturities of three months or less. As of March 31, 2011, the carrying value of our cash and cash equivalents approximated fair value. In a declining interest rate environment, as short-term investments mature, reinvestment occurs at less favorable market rates, negatively impacting future investment income. We maintain our cash and cash equivalents with major financial institutions; however, our cash and cash equivalent balances with these institutions exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) insurance limits. While we monitor on a systematic basis the cash and cash equivalent balances in our operating accounts and adjust the balances as appropriate, these balances could be impacted if one or more of the financial institutions with which we deposit funds fails or is subject to other adverse conditions in the financial or credit markets. To date, we have experienced no loss of principal or lack of access to our invested cash or cash equivalents; however, we can provide no assurance that access to our invested cash and cash equivalents will not be affected if the financial institutions in which we hold our cash and cash equivalents fail or the financial and credit markets continue to deteriorate.

Item 4. Controls And Procedures
a. Disclosure controls and procedures.
During the three months ended March 31, 2011, our management, including the principal executive officer and principal financial officer, evaluated our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) related to the recording, processing, summarization and reporting of information in our reports that we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). These disclosure controls and procedures have been designed to ensure that material information relating to us, including our subsidiaries, is made known to our management, including these officers, by other of our employees, and that this information is recorded, processed, summarized, evaluated and reported, as applicable, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Due to the inherent limitations of control systems, not all misstatements may be detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the control. Our controls and procedures can only provide reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the above objectives have been met.
Based on their evaluation as of March 31, 2011, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) are effective as of March 31, 2011 to reasonably ensure that the information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms and that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
b. Changes in internal controls over financial reporting.
We reviewed our internal control over financial reporting at March 31, 2011. As a result of the acquisition of Asset Intelligence, LLC, we integrated our personnel, operations, business policies, processes and technology. There have been no other changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the three months ended March 31, 2011 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
In the ordinary course of its business, the Company is at times subject to various legal proceedings. As of May 13, 2011, the Company was not a party to any material legal proceedings.
Additional information on the Company’s commitments and contingencies can be found in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
In addition to the other information set forth in Part 1, “Item 2. Risks to Our Business” of this report, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in Part I, “Item 1A. Risk Factors,” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010, as such factors could materially affect the Company’s business, financial condition, and future results. In the three months ended March 31, 2011, there were no material changes to the risk factors disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K. The risks described in the Annual Report on Form 10-K are not the only risks that the Company faces. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to the Company, or that the Company currently deems to be immaterial, also may have a material adverse impact on the Company’s business, financial condition, or results of operations.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
Purchases of Equity Securities by the Issuer
On November 4, 2010, the Company announced that its Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock having an aggregate value of up to $3,000,000 pursuant to a share repurchase program. The repurchases under the share repurchase program will be made from time to time in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions and will be funded from the Company’s working capital. The amount and timing of such repurchases will be dependent upon the price and availability of shares, general market conditions and the availability of cash, as determined at the discretion of the Company’s management. All shares of common stock repurchased under the Company’s share repurchase program are held as treasury stock. The share repurchase program does not have an expiration date, and the Company may discontinue or suspend the share repurchase program at any time.
The following table describes the Company’s share repurchase activity for each month of the quarterly period ended March 31, 2011. All of the repurchases set forth in the table were made under the share repurchase program in open market transactions.

In addition, on May 3, 2007, the Company previously had announced that its Board of Directors had authorized the repurchase of issued and outstanding shares of our common stock having an aggregate value of up to $10,000,000 pursuant to a share repurchase program (the “2007 Repurchase Program”). The Company did not purchase any shares of its common stock under the 2007 Repurchase Program during the quarterly period ended March 31, 2011. As of March 31, 2011, the Company had purchased approximately 1,075,000 shares of its common stock in open market transactions under the 2007 Repurchase Program for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $9,970,000. The repurchases were funded from the Company’s working capital, and the amount and timing of such repurchases depended upon the price and availability of shares, general market conditions and the availability of cash, as determined at the discretion of our management. The 2007 Repurchase Program does not have an expiration date, and the Company may discontinue or suspend the 2007 Repurchase Program at any time. All shares of common stock repurchased under the 2007 Repurchase Program are held as treasury stock.
