          In March 2009, the Company entered into the Targus Agreement with Targus. The Company began shipments to Targus under the Targus Agreement during the second quarter of fiscal 2010. On January 25, 2011, Targus provided the Company with written notification of non-renewal of the Targus Agreement.

          A significant portion of our inventory purchases is derived from a limited number of contract manufacturers (“CM’s”) and other suppliers. The loss of one or more of our significant CM’s or suppliers could materially adversely affect our operations. For the three and six months ended July 31, 2011 two of our CM’s provided an aggregate of 50 and 88 percent, respectively, of total product costs. For the three months ended July 31, 2010 three of our CM’s provided an aggregate of 95 percent of total product costs. For the six months ended July 31, 2010 two of our CM’s provided an aggregate of 88 percent of total product costs.
          At July 31, 2011, approximately $3.5 million or 94 percent, of the Company’s accounts payable of $3.7 million was payable to three contract manufacturers, only one of which provided the majority of the product costs for the three and six months ended July 31, 2011. At July 31, 2011 and January 31, 2011, approximately $1.1 million or 30 percent and 21 percent, respectively, of the Company’s accounts payable was payable to Chicony Power Technology Co., Ltd., (“Chicony”) the manufacturer of the Bronx product which was subject to the Recall. At present we are in litigation with Chicony (see Note 11). At July 31, 2011 and January 31, 2011, approximately $2.0 million and $2.6 million or 53 percent and 51 percent, respectively, of the Company’s accounts payable was payable to Edac Power Electronics Co. Ltd., the manufacturer of the Manhattan product sold to Targus. At the present time we are in negotiations with this supplier to create a long-term payment plan.
          Additionally, at July 31, 2011, approximately $0.7 million or 70 percent of total uninvoiced materials and services of $1.0 million, included in accrued liabilities were payable to three of our contract manufacturers. At January 31, 2011 approximately $729,000, or 45 percent, of total uninvoiced materials and services of $1.6 million, included in accrued liabilities were payable to Flextronics Electronics and Zheng Ge Electrical Co., Ltd.
