RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS [Abstract]
RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS	14. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS In March 2001, the Company entered into a 10-year lease of the Burlington, North Carolina production facility for an annual base rent of $197,000, exclusive of operating expenses. In addition, under the lease $600,000 of tenant improvements made to the building by the Company are being amortized over the life of the lease as additional rent. The Company received $300,000 for reimbursement of tenant improvements completed in 2001. Effective February 2003, the Company entered into a month-to-month lease of a warehousing and distribution facility in an adjacent building for a monthly rent of $9,400, exclusive of operating expenses. These facilities have always been owned and leased to the Company by a director of the Company. In 2003, the Company completed additional tenant improvements to the premises of $300,000. In November 2003, the Company amended and restated these leases. Under the terms of the amended and restated lease, the original leases have been combined and the expiration of the amended and restated lease has been extended to March 31, 2016. In January 2008, the Company prepaid $430,000 of the lease agreement for the facilities leased from the director relating to the leasehold improvements after determining that the prepayment would be financially beneficial to the Company. The prepayment was recorded as prepaid rent in other assets (long-term) in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet and will continue to be amortized over the remaining life of the lease as additional rent. In 2011, the annual base rent was $444,000, exclusive of operating expenses, and including a Consumer Price Index adjustment and amortization of the $600,000 of improvements. According to the terms of the lease, the Company has the exclusive option and right to purchase the facilities from the director according to the terms and conditions defined in the lease agreement. The Company believes it is renting these facilities on terms similar to those available from third parties for equivalent premises based upon review of prevailing market rates at the time of lease renewal.
