The Company sells its products in the United States and numerous foreign countries and is headquartered in Rochester, New York.   The Company’s unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The financial statements reflect all adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of such information. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. Although the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading, certain information and footnote disclosures have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. This unaudited interim financial information should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012. The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, sales, expenses, and related disclosures at the date of the financial statements and during the reporting period. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates. The year-end balance sheet data was derived and condensed from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the results for any subsequent period or for the entire fiscal year ending December 31, 2013.   Certain immaterial reclassification adjustments have been made to the prior year financial statements to reclassify certain operating costs from General and administrative to Cost of revenue, Sales and marketing, and Engineering, research and development in the accompanying condensed statements of operations to conform to the current year presentation.   As a cost-saving measure, in January 2013, the Company dissolved its wholly-owned subsidiary Lucid International, Inc. The dissolution of Lucid International, Inc. did not have a significant impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations. All information regarding the Unaudited Condensed Financial Statements prior to January 2013 were presented on a consolidated basis.falsefalsefalsenonnum:textBlockItemTypenaThe entire disclosure for the nature of an entity's business, the major products or services it sells or provides and its principal markets, including the locations of those markets.
