| BORROWING AND FINANCING ARRANGEMENTS | Note 12 - Borrowing and financing arrangements
On August 25, 2011, the Company entered into a working capital credit facility agreement allowing the Company to borrow up to $1.5 million based upon qualified U.S. based and foreign customer receivables, and export-related inventory. Each account receivable financed by Lender will bear an annual interest rate or finance charge equal to the greater of Lender's prime rate less 0.5%, or 3.50%, when the Company meets certain borrowing base requirements. If the Company does not meet the borrowing base requirements, each account receivable financed by Lender will bear an annual interest rate or finance charge equal to the greater of Lender's prime rate plus 0.75%, or 4.75%. The applicable interest is calculated based on the full amount of the account receivable and export-related inventory provided as collateral for the actual amounts borrowed. Depending on the composition of the collateral items, whether or not the Company meets certain borrowing base requirements and the relative cash position of the Company, the equivalent annual interest rate applied to the actual loan balances may vary from 3.89% to 8.94%, assuming that the banks prime rate is 4.00% or less. The term of the agreement is one year and is collateralized by all the Companys assets except for intellectual property. At August 31, 2011 the Company had not drawn against the credit facility and was in compliance with all covenants. |

| EARNINGS PER SHARE | Note 3 - Earnings Per Share
Earnings per share is computed based on the weighted average number of common and common equivalent shares (common stock options and ESPP shares) outstanding, when dilutive, during each period using the treasury stock method.
For the purpose of computing diluted earnings per share, weighted average potential common shares do not include stock options with an exercise price greater than the average fair value of the Companys common stock for the period, as the effect would be anti-dilutive. Stock options to purchase 1,792,000 shares of common stock were outstanding on August 31, 2011, but were not included in the computation of diluted net income per share, because the inclusion of such shares would be anti-dilutive. Potential common shares have not been included in the calculation of diluted net loss per share for the quarter ended August 31, 2010 as the effect would be anti-dilutive. As such, the numerator and the denominator used in computing both basic and diluted net loss per share for the quarter ended August 31, 2010 are the same. Stock options to purchase 2,254,000 shares of common stock were outstanding on August 31, 2010, but not included in the computation of diluted net income per share, because the inclusion of such shares would be anti-dilutive. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS | Note 4 - Fair value of financial instruments
On June 1, 2008, the Company adopted authoritative guidance for fair value measurements and the fair value option for financial assets and liabilities. This authoritative guidance defines fair value, establishes a framework for using fair value to measure assets and liabilities, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.
In the first quarter of fiscal 2010, the Company adopted revised accounting guidance for the fair value measurement and disclosure for non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities, except for items that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis (at least annually).
The guidance establishes a fair value hierarchy that is intended to increase the consistency and comparability in fair value measurements and related disclosures. The fair value hierarchy is based on inputs to valuation techniques that are used to measure fair value that are either observable or unobservable. Observable inputs reflect assumptions market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability based on market data obtained from independent sources while unobservable inputs reflect a reporting entitys pricing based upon their own market assumptions. The fair value hierarchy consists of the following three levels:
Level 1 - instrument valuations are obtained from real-time quotes for transactions in active exchange markets involving identical assets.
Level 2 - instrument valuations are obtained from readily-available pricing sources for comparable instruments.
Level 3 - instrument valuations are obtained without observable market values and require a high level of judgment to determine the fair value.
The following table summarizes the Companys financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of August 31, 2011 (in thousands):
The following table summarizes the Companys financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of May 31, 2011 (in thousands):
As of August 31, 2011 and May 31, 2011, the Company did not have any assets or liabilities without observable market values that would require a high level of judgment to determine fair value (Level 3 assets).
The Company has at times invested in debt and equity of private companies, and may do so again in the future, as part of its business strategy. These investments are carried at cost and are included in Other Assets in the consolidated balance sheets. If the Company determines that an other-than-temporary decline exists in the fair value of an investment, the Company writes down the investment to its fair value and records the related write-down as an investment loss in Other Income (Expense) in its consolidated statements of operations. During the first quarter of fiscal 2012, the Company sold its long-term investment in ESA Electronics PTE Ltd for proceeds of approximately $1.4 million, resulting in a gain of $990,000. At May 31, 2011, the carrying value of the strategic investments was $384,000.

| RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS | Note 13 - Recent accounting pronouncements
In October 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, issued authoritative guidance for revenue recognition with multiple deliverables. This authoritative guidance defines the criteria for identifying individual deliverables in a multiple-element arrangement and the manner in which revenues are allocated to individual deliverables. In absence of vendor-specific objective evidence, or VSOE, or other third party evidence, or TPE, of the selling price for the deliverables in a multiple-element arrangement, guidance requires companies to use an estimated selling price, or ESP, for the individual deliverables. Companies shall apply the relative-selling price model for allocating an arrangements total consideration to its individual elements. Under this model, the ESP is used for both the delivered and undelivered elements that do not have VSOE or TPE of the selling price. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010, and will be applied prospectively to revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified after the effective date. The Company adopted these standards in the first quarter of 2012. . In October 2009, the FASB issued authoritative guidance for the accounting for certain revenue arrangements that include software elements. This authoritative guidance amends the scope of pre-existing software revenue guidance by removing from the guidance non-software components of tangible products and certain software components of tangible products. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010, and will be applied prospectively to revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified after the effective date. The Company adopted these standards in the first quarter of 2012. These standards did not have a material impact on the Companys condensed consolidated financial statements. In May 2011 updated authoritative guidance to amend existing requirements for fair value measurements and disclosures was issued. The guidance expands the disclosure requirements around fair value measurements categorized in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy and requires disclosure of the level in the fair value hierarchy of items that are not measured at fair value but whose fair value must be disclosed. It also clarifies and expands upon existing requirements for fair value measurements of financial assets and liabilities as well as instruments classified in shareholders equity. The guidance will be effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011, and are to be applied prospectively. The Company will adopt this guidance in the first quarter of fiscal 2013. The implementation of this authoritative guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Companys financial position or results of operations.

| STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION | Note 2 - Stock-based compensation
Stock-based compensation expense consists of expenses for stock options and employee stock purchase plan, or ESPP, shares. Stock-based compensation cost is measured at each grant date, based on the fair value of the award using the Black-Scholes option valuation model, and is recognized as expense over the employees requisite service period. This model was developed for use in estimating the value of publicly traded options that have no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. The Companys employee stock options have characteristics significantly different from those of publicly traded options. All of the Companys stock based compensation is accounted for as an equity instrument. See Notes 8 and 9 in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal 2011 filed on August 26, 2011 for further information regarding the stock option plan and the ESPP.
The following table summarizes compensation costs related to the Companys stock-based compensation for the three months ended August 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively (in thousands):
During the three months ended August 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company recorded stock-based compensation related to stock options of $155,000 and $223,000, respectively.
As of August 31, 2011, the total unrecognized stock-based compensation cost related to unvested stock-based awards under the Companys 1996 Stock Option Plan and 2006 Equity Incentive Plan was approximately $963,000, which is net of estimated forfeitures of $2,000. This cost will be amortized over the remaining service period of the underlying options. The weighted average period is approximately 3.2 years.
During the three months ended August 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company recorded stock-based compensation related to the ESPP of $10,000 and $51,000, respectively.
As of August 31, 2011, the total compensation cost related to options to purchase the Companys common stock under the ESPP but not yet recognized was approximately $8,000. This cost will be amortized on a straight-line basis over a weighted average period of approximately 0.5 years.
Valuation Assumptions
Valuation and Amortization Method. The Company estimates the fair value of stock options granted using the Black-Scholes option valuation model and a single option award approach. The fair value under the single option approach is amortized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service periods of the awards, which is generally the vesting period.
Expected Term. The Companys expected term represents the period that the Companys stock-based awards are expected to be outstanding and was determined based on historical experience, giving consideration to the contractual terms of the stock-based awards, vesting schedules and expectations of future employee behavior as evidenced by changes to the terms of its stock-based awards.
Expected Volatility. Volatility is a measure of the amounts by which a financial variable such as stock price has fluctuated (historical volatility) or is expected to fluctuate (expected volatility) during a period. The Company uses the historical volatility for the past five years, which matches the expected term of most of the option grants, to estimate expected volatility. Volatility for each of the ESPPs four time periods of six months, twelve months, eighteen months, and twenty-four months is calculated separately and included in the overall stock-based compensation cost recorded.
Dividends. The Company has never paid any cash dividends on its common stock and does not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Consequently, the Company uses an expected dividend yield of zero in the Black-Scholes option valuation model.
Risk-Free Interest Rate. The Company bases the risk-free interest rate used in the Black-Scholes option valuation model on the implied yield in effect at the time of option grant on U.S. Treasury zero-coupon issues with a remaining term equivalent to the expected term of the stock awards including the ESPP.
Estimated Forfeitures. When estimating forfeitures, the Company considers voluntary termination behavior as well as analysis of actual option forfeitures.
Fair Value. The fair values of the Companys stock options granted to employees for the three months ended August 31, 2011 and 2010 were estimated using the following weighted average assumptions in the Black-Scholes option valuation model.
There were no ESPP shares granted to employees for the three months ended August 31, 2011 and 2010.
The following table summarizes the stock option transactions during the three months ended August 31, 2011 (in thousands, except per share data):
The options outstanding and exercisable at August 31, 2011 were in the following exercise price ranges (in thousands, except per share data):
There were no stock options exercised for the three months ended August 31, 2011. The total intrinsic value of options exercised was $1,000 during the three months ended August 31, 2010. The weighted average contractual life of the options exercisable and expected to be exercisable at August 31, 2011 was 3.12 years.
Options to purchase 1,547,000 and 1,393,000 shares were exercisable at August 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. These exercisable options had weighted average exercise prices of $3.59 and $4.16 as of August 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| INCOME TAXES | Note 11 - Income taxes
Income taxes have been provided using the liability method whereby deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse or the carryforwards are utilized. Valuation allowances are established when it is determined that it is more likely than not that such assets will not be realized.
During fiscal 2009, a full valuation allowance was established against all deferred tax assets as management determined that it is more likely than not that certain deferred tax assets will not be realized.
The Company accounts for uncertain tax positions consistent with authoritative guidance. The guidance prescribes a more likely than not recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The Company does not expect any material change in its unrecognized tax benefits over the next twelve months. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as a component of income taxes.
Although the Company files U.S. federal, various state, and foreign tax returns, the Companys only major tax jurisdictions are the United States, California, Germany and Japan. Tax years 1996 - 2010 remain subject to examination by the appropriate governmental agencies due to tax loss carryovers from those years. |
