<div> 2. Acquisitions and Divestitures AlboGraft Distribution Agreement In March 2009, we entered into a series of agreements with Edwards Lifesciences Corporation (Edwards) to terminate their distribution of our AlboGraft Vascular Graft product line in Europe and certain other international markets, for which they had exclusive rights through 2011, and to acquire certain assets and rights from Edwards. We paid $3.5 million to Edwards in exchange for this early termination, the purchase of their AlboGraft customer list, certain licenses and most of their remaining AlboGraft inventory. We allocated the payment to the tangible and intangible assets acquired, and to the settlement of our pre-existing relationship with Edwards, based on the estimated fair value of each of these elements to the transaction. As such, we recorded $1.0 million of intangible assets, recognized a $1.8 million restructuring charge related to the early termination of the distribution agreement, and $0.7 million of inventory. LifeSpan Vascular Graft In November 2010, we entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the Angiotech Agreement) with Angiotech Pharmaceuticals (US), Inc., and Angiodevice International GmbH (together, Sellers), to acquire substantially all the assets associated with the LifeSpan Vascular Graft and related manufacturing business. Assets acquired include inventory, fixed assets, select contractual commitments, permits and approvals, legal rights, and intellectual property. Other provisions of the Angiotech Agreement include transitional assistance from Sellers and mutual indemnification for losses arising out of or relating to certain breaches of, and misrepresentations under, the Angiotech Agreement. The purchase price for this acquisition was $2.8 million dollars. We paid Angiotech $2.5 million at the closing of the acquisition. We paid the remaining $0.3 million in November 2011. The deferred payments were included in Acquisition-related obligations in the December 31, 2010 consolidated balance sheet. We accounted for the acquisition as a business combination. The following table summarizes the final purchase accounting for the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of the acquisition:   <table style="border-collapse:

<td valign="bottom"> </td></tr></table> In a related transaction, on November 30, 2010, we entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement and a Transition Agreement (together, the Edwards Agreements), each with Edwards Lifesciences Corporation (Edwards), and certain of Edwards' affiliates, for an orderly transition of Edwards' distribution business of the LifeSpan Vascular Graft in Europe and Japan from Edwards to LeMaitre, and to acquire from Edwards certain assets related to Edwards' distribution of the product, including inventory, detailed customer lists for Europe and Japan, transfer of certain registrations, and the LifeSpan trademark. Under the Edwards Agreements, Edwards provided sales and marketing cooperation through assignment of most assignable customer contracts and other transition assistance. We paid Edwards $1.0 million on the closing date and paid $0.2 million in March 2011. The deferred payments were included in Acquisition-related obligations in the December 31, 2010 balance sheet. We allocated the payment to the tangible and intangible assets acquired based on the estimated fair value of each of these elements to the transaction. As such, we recorded $0.6 million of inventory and $0.5 million of intangible assets. The weighted-average amortization period for these intangibles as of December 31, 2010 is 4.4 years. In addition, we recorded $0.1 million as prepaid transition services which were amortized over its contractual life of three months. Cardiva, S.L. Distribution Agreement In December 2010, we entered into a definitive agreement with Cardiva, S.L. (Cardiva) to terminate its distribution of our products in Spain and to acquire certain assets and rights from Cardiva effective as of June 30, 2011. We paid approximately $1.2 million in exchange for this early termination, the purchase of their Spanish customer list for our products, certain customer contracts, their provision of sales and marketing services, and most of their remaining inventory. We recorded $0.4 million of intangible assets, recognized a $0.5 million restructuring charge related to the early termination of the distribution agreement, expensed $0.1 of transition services as selling expense, and recorded $0.3 million of inventory. We allocated the payment to the tangible and intangible assets acquired based on the estimated fair value of each of these elements to the transaction. The weighted-average amortization period for these intangibles as of June 30, 2011 is 5.5 years. Additionally, we entered into a one-year consulting agreement beginning July 1, 2011 with an employee of Cardiva for $0.2 million which has been paid in full as of December 31, 2011. Marcom Medical ApS Distribution Agreement In December 2010, we entered into a definitive agreement with Marcom Medical ApS (Marcom) to terminate its distribution of our products in Denmark and to acquire certain assets and rights from Marcom effective as of June 30, 2011. We paid approximately $0.2 million in exchange for this early termination, the purchase of their Danish customer list for our products, certain customer contracts, and minimal inventory. We have deferred payments of approximately $19,000 which have been included in Acquisition-related obligations in our consolidated balance sheets which become payable on June 30, 2012. We recorded $0.1 million of intangible assets and recognized a $0.1 million restructuring charge related to the early termination of the distribution agreement. We allocated the payment to the tangible and intangible assets acquired based on the estimated fair value of each of these elements to the transaction. The weighted-average amortization period for these intangibles as of June 30, 2011 is 2.9 years.   OptiLock Implantable Port On June 1, 2010, we sold our OptiLock Implantable Port product line to Minvasive Ltd. (Minvasive). In exchange for consideration of approximately $0.2 million, Minvasive received our existing inventory, tangible and intangible assets, and a customer list associated with the product line. Payment terms included $30,000 due at signing, with the remaining balance to be paid in the form of a royalty of 30% of Minvasive's OptiLock Implantable Port sales until the total consideration is paid in full. In 2014, any outstanding balance will become due in full. As a result of the transaction, we recorded the estimated present value of amounts due as a $0.1 million receivable in other long term assets. All royalty payments received from Minvasive will be applied to the receivable, and any payments received in excess of the outstanding receivable balance will be recognized as a gain on disposition in the periods in which they are received. We have received $60,000 as of December 31, 2011. TAArget and UniFit Stent Grafts On June 30, 2011, we sold our TAArget and UniFit stent graft product lines to Duke Vascular, Inc. (Duke). In exchange for consideration of approximately $0.1 million in cash and a $0.5 million promissory note, Duke received most of our existing inventory, tangible and intangible assets, and a customer list associated with the product lines. We received the cash payment on June 30, 2011. The $0.5 million promissory note bears interest at 7% and is payable on June 30, 2012. The promissory note maturity date will accelerate upon Duke raising additional capital or the sale of its business. We recorded the estimated fair value of the promissory note as $0.2 million receivable in other long term assets. Any payments received in excess of the fair value of the promissory note will be recognized as a gain on disposition in the periods in which they are received. In addition, Duke assumed our future obligations associated with the UNITE and ENTRUST clinical trials. We received cash proceeds of $0.1 million and a promissory note that we valued at $0.2 million. We applied these proceeds against the related assets, including $0.1 million of fixed assets, $0.1 million of intangible assets, and $0.4 million of inventory, resulting in a net charge of approximately $0.4 million, which we recorded in cost of sales during the year ended December 31, 2011. Endologix Stent Grafts On July 6, 2011, we entered into an early termination agreement for our distribution rights of Endologix's aortic endovascular products in Europe. Under the terms of the agreement, we received $1.3 million in exchange for the early termination of our distribution agreement on August 31, 2011, certain customer contracts, our provision of sales and marketing services, and most of our remaining inventory. Previously, we held distribution rights in certain European countries for Endologix's Powerlink System, and related products, through June 30, 2013. We recognized a gain of $0.7 million upon the termination of the distribution agreement during the year ended December 31, 2011. The fair market valuations associated with the Lifespan, Cardiva, Marcom, and Duke transactions fall within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy, due to the use of significant unobservable inputs to determine fair value. The fair value measurements were calculated using unobservable inputs, primarily using the income approach, specifically the discounted cash flow method. The amount and timing of future cash flows within our analysis was based on our due diligence models, most recent operational budgets, long range strategic plans and other estimates. </div>

The purchase commitments for inventory are to be used in operations over the normal course of business and do not represent excess commitments or loss contracts. Other Commitments In 2007, we purchased certain patent applications and in-process research and development which included earn-out payments associated with the commercialization of The UnBalloon Non-Occlusive Modeling Catheter in the European Union and the United States as part of the consideration. The earn-out payments are payable quarterly at approximately the rate of two times sales for the four quarters. The European earn-out period was measured from December 23, 2009 through December 22, 2010. We recorded an intangible asset of approximately $27,000 related to earn-out payments made on European sales. The United States earn-out period will be measured from January 1, 2012 through December 31, 2012. We consider the earn-out payments associated with the commercialization of the products in Europe and the United States to be contingent consideration that will be recorded as additional intangible assets in the periods that the contingency is resolved. In addition, there is a contingent payment of $0.1 million related to one patent application which is payable upon the issuance of the patent. We consider the payment associated with the patent application approval to be contingent consideration that will be recorded as additional intangible assets in the periods that the contingency is resolved. AlboGraft Recall In October 2011, we received complaints of two device failures which resulted in a voluntary recall of one production lot of our AlboGraft Vascular Graft. Subsequently, in February 2012, we received complaints of two additional device failures from a second lot which resulted in a voluntary recall of one additional production lot. We believe that we have isolated the root cause of these device failures and implemented corrective actions beginning with lots produced from November 2011. However, there can be no assurance that these failures will not reoccur or that other problems will not develop in the future. As a result of the recalled lots, we recognized $0.2 million of inventory write-offs which we recorded to cost of sales during the year ended December 31, 2011. Also in February 2012, we received an additional complaint on our AlboGraft Vascular Graft that was apparently unrelated to the previous complaints. Although the root cause of that complaint is still under investigation, it appears to be an isolated manufacturing defect, although there is no assurance that this will prove to be the case. We were notified by the regulatory agency in the United Kingdom in late February 2012 that they would issue a Medical Device Alert to all hospitals in the United Kingdom advising caution when implanting the AlboGraft Vascular Graft. Although the Medical Device Alert has not resulted in an additional recall, we believe that such notice adversely affects our reputation and that of our AlboGraft Vascular Graft. </div>

<div> 11. Profit-Sharing Plan We offer a 401(k) profit-sharing plan (the Plan) covering eligible U.S. employees to make tax deferred contributions, a portion of which are matched by us. We may make discretionary profit sharing contributions to the Plan in an amount determined by our Board of Directors. Our contributions vest ratably over six years of employment and amounted to approximately $0.1 million for 2011, $0.2 million for 2010, and $0.1 million for 2009. Effective April 1, 2011, we ceased our discretionary matching on employee contributions. </div>

<div> 6. Financing Arrangements As part of the purchase of Biomateriali S.r.l, we assumed a loan from the Italian government under a program that provides funding to certain businesses in Italy through a combination of grants and loans if certain requirements are met. The loan was stated to be payable in ten annual payments through 2018 of principal and interest at an interest rate of 0.74%. The present value of the loan was recorded as of the date the proceeds were received using our incremental borrowing rate. Interest was being imputed on the loan and the amortization was recorded as interest expense. The Italian government informed us the loan and grant will become due in full as a result of the Biomateriali S.r.l plant closure. As a result, in December 2011, we incurred approximately $0.1 million of restructuring charges related to additional interest and penalties charges, and we made the final payment to the Italian government of $0.5 million in December 2011. In 2010, we had previously recorded approximately $0.3 million of restructuring charges related to the expected repayment of the grants, the imputed interest on the outstanding loan balance, and certain additional interest and penalties. </div>

We had no Level 2 or Level 3 assets being measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2011. As discussed in Notes 1 and 2, several measurements of acquisition-related assets and impairments of intangible assets were measured using Level 3 techniques. </div>

examination by a taxing authority. As of December 31, 2011, the gross amount of unrecognized tax benefits exclusive of interest and penalties was $329,000. We have identified no uncertain tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly increase or decrease within the 12 months ending December 31, 2012. We remain subject to examination until the statute of limitations expires for each respective tax jurisdiction. The Federal statute of limitations will be open with respect to these tax positions until 2015.

need for a valuation allowance against our deferred tax assets and continue to carry a valuation allowance against $4.4 million of foreign deferred tax assets and state credits; based on the weight of available evidence, we believe it is more likely than not such assets will not be realized. The valuation allowance against our deferred tax assets may require adjustment in the future based on changes in the mix of temporary differences, changes in tax laws, and operating performance. In 2010 we assessed the need for a valuation allowance against our deferred tax assets in the United States and concluded that we emerged from a cumulative loss position. As a result, we released $3.3 million of our valuation allowance that was previously established against certain U.S. deferred tax assets, which based on the weight of available evidence; we believed it was more likely than not such assets would be realized. As of December 31, 2011, we have state net operating loss carryforwards of $0.3 million that expire at various times through 2029. In addition, we have net operating loss carryforwards in France of $1.1 million that have no expiration, Japan of $1.7 million that begin to expire in 2013 and Italy of $9.3 million of which $7.8 million relates to our Biomateriali subsidiary which was dissolved in March 2012 and $1.5 million related to our Italian sales office of which $0.6 million does not expire and $0.9 million that begin to expire in 2013. We also have Federal research and development tax credit carryforwards and alternative minimum tax credits of approximately $0.7 million and state tax credit carryforwards of approximately $0.6 million that are available to reduce future tax liabilities, which expire at various dates through 2031, or can be carried forward indefinitely. Included in the research and development credit carryforwards are stock option deductions of approximately $0.6 million. The benefit of these tax deductions will be credited to additional paid-in capital when we receive a cash benefit from the stock options being utilized. Ownership changes, as defined by the Internal Revenue Code, may limit the amount of net operating losses and research and experimentation credit carryforwards that can be utilized annually to offset future taxable income and taxes payable. We consider undistributed earnings of our foreign subsidiaries to be indefinitely reinvested; therefore, no amount for U.S. income tax has been provided. In the event of distribution of those earnings in the form of dividends or otherwise, we would be subject to both U.S. income taxes, subject to an adjustment, if any, for foreign tax credits, and foreign withholding taxes payable to certain foreign tax authorities.

<div> 12. Restructuring Charges In March 2009, we incurred $1.8 million of restructuring charges, related to the termination of our Biomateriali subsidiary's distribution agreement with Edward Lifesciences as discussed in Note 2. In October 2010, we adopted a reorganization plan (the Biomateriali Plan) that is designed to eliminate redundant costs resulting from our 2007 acquisition of Biomateriali and to improve efficiencies in our manufacturing operations. We transitioned the production of our AlboGraft Vascular Graft to our existing corporate headquarters in Burlington, Massachusetts. The Biomateriali Plan provided for the termination of 29 employees at our Biomaterial subsidiary, relocation of manufacturing equipment, the eventual dissolution of our Biomateriali subsidiary, and the hiring of additional employees to staff the required functions in Burlington. In 2010, we incurred $1.4 million of severance charges, of which $0.9 million was paid in December 2010, $0.3 million of charges related to the repayment of grants and loans received from the Italian government associated with business incentive programs for the Biomateriali facility (see Note 6), and $0.1 million of charges related to the abandonment of fixed assets and legal fees associated with the negotiation of the severance agreements. In 2011, we incurred $0.3 million of charges associated with the transfer of manufacturing equipment to our Burlington factory and $0.7 million of non-cash charges related to the write-down of an asset for deferred rent, which was triggered by our exit of the Biomateriali facility in March 2011, and $0.1 million related to the repayment of grants and loans received from the Italian government associated with business incentive programs for the Biomateriali facility. We paid $0.4 million of severance related charges in 2011 and paid remaining $0.2 million in February 2012. We made the final payment to the Italian government of $0.5 million in December 2011. In March 2012, we completed the Biomateriali liquidation and dissolution process. In May 2011, we adopted a reorganization plan (the LifeSpan Plan) that is designed to eliminate redundant costs resulting from our 2010 acquisition of the LifeSpan vascular graft and to improve efficiencies in our manufacturing operations. We have transitioned the production of our LifeSpan vascular graft from Laguna Hills, California to our existing corporate headquarters in Burlington, Massachusetts. The LifeSpan Plan resulted in the termination of 7 employees at the Laguna Hills facility, relocation of manufacturing equipment, and the hiring of approximately 4 employees to staff the required functions in Burlington. We incurred approximately $0.1 million related to the closure of the Laguna Hills facility and the related relocation of the manufacturing equipment during the year ended December 31, 2011. We incurred approximately $33,000 of severance charges related to this project during year ended December 31, 2011. On June 30, 2011, we terminated our relationship with our Spanish distributor resulting in a contract termination charge of $0.5 million which we recorded as restructuring charges (see Note 2 for further details regarding the transaction). On June 30, 2011, we terminated our relationship with our Danish distributor resulting in a contract termination charge of $0.1 million which we recorded as restructuring charges (see Note 2 for further details regarding the transaction). In July 2011, we adopted a reorganization plan of our European administrative and stent graft sales personnel as a result of our exit from our stent graft business. We terminated 6 employees and recorded severance charges of $0.3 million during the year ended December 31, 2011. The final severance payments were made in March 2012.   The components of the restructuring charges are as follows:   <table style="border-collapse: collapse;" border="0" cellspacing="0"

<div> 13. Segment and Enterprise-wide Disclosures The FASB establishes standards for reporting information regarding operating segments in annual financial statements. Operating segments are identified as components of an enterprise about which separate, discrete financial information is available for evaluation by the chief operating decision-maker in making decisions on how to allocate resources and assess performance. We view our operations and manage our business as one operating segment. No discrete operating information other than product sales is prepared by us, except by geographic location, for local reporting purposes. Upon our divestiture of the stent graft product lines, we reorganized our product categories from "Vascular", "Endovascular", and "General Surgery" to "Open Vascular" and "Endovascular and Other" as we re-focused our portfolio and sales channel on open vascular products. Net sales in these product categories were as follows:   <table style="border-collapse: collapse;" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="92%" align="center"> <tr><td width="70%"> </td> <td valign="bottom" width="4%"> </td> <td> </td> <td> </td> <td> </td> <td valign="bottom" width="4%"> </td> <td> </td> <td> </td> <td> </td> <td valign="bottom" width="4%"> </td> <td> </td> <td> </td> <td> </td></tr> <tr><td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td style="border-bottom: #000000 1px solid;" valign="bottom" colspan="10" align="center">Year ended December 31,</td> <td valign="bottom"> </td></tr> <tr><td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td style="border-bottom: #000000 1px solid;" valign="bottom" colspan="2" align="center">2011</td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td style="border-bottom: #000000 1px solid;" valign="bottom" colspan="2" align="center">2010</td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td style="border-bottom: #000000 1px solid;" valign="bottom" colspan="2" align="center">2009</td> <td valign="bottom"> </td></tr> <tr><td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom" colspan="10" align="center">(in thousands)</td> <td valign="bottom"> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#cceeff"><td valign="top"> Open Vascular</td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom">$</td> <td valign="bottom" align="right">44,408</td> <td valign="bottom" nowrap="nowrap">  </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom">$</td> <td valign="bottom" align="right">40,022</td> <td valign="bottom" nowrap="nowrap">  </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom">$</td> <td valign="bottom" align="right">34,265</td> <td valign="bottom" nowrap="nowrap">  </td></tr> <tr><td valign="top"> Endovascular and Other</td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom" align="right">13,277</td> <td valign="bottom" nowrap="nowrap">  </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom" align="right">16,038</td> <td valign="bottom" nowrap="nowrap">  </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom" align="right">16,643</td> <td valign="bottom" nowrap="nowrap">  </td></tr> <tr style="font-size: 1px;"><td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td> </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td> </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#cceeff"><td valign="top"> Net sales</td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom">$</td> <td valign="bottom" align="right">57,685</td> <td valign="bottom" nowrap="nowrap">  </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom">$</td> <td valign="bottom" align="right">56,060</td> <td valign="bottom" nowrap="nowrap">  </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom">$</td> <td valign="bottom" align="right">50,908</td> <td valign="bottom" nowrap="nowrap">  </td></tr> <tr style="font-size: 1px;"><td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td> </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td> </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td> </td></tr></table>   Most of our revenues were generated in the United States, Europe, and Japan, and substantially all of our assets are located in the United States.

<div> 1. Significant Accounting Policies and Related Matters Description of Business Unless the context requires otherwise, references to LeMaitre Vascular, we, our, and us refer to LeMaitre Vascular, Inc. and our subsidiaries. We develop, manufacture, and market medical devices and implants used primarily in the field of vascular surgery. We operate in a single segment in which our principal product lines are balloon catheters, carotid shunts, laparoscopic cholecystectomy devices, radiopaque tape, remote endarterectomy devices, valvulotomes, vascular grafts, vascular patches, and vessel closure systems. In addition, we have rights to exclusively distribute in the United States and most of Europe a biologic vascular patch manufactured by a third party through January 26, 2016. Our offices are located in Burlington, Massachusetts, Sulzbach, Germany, Milan, Italy, Madrid, Spain, and Tokyo, Japan. Consolidation and Basis of Presentation Our consolidated financial statements include the accounts of LeMaitre Vascular and the accounts of our wholly-owned subsidiaries, LeMaitre Vascular GmbH, LeMaitre Vascular GK, Vascutech Acquisition LLC, LeMaitre Acquisition LLC, LeMaitre Vascular SAS, Biomateriali S.r.l., LeMaitre Vascular S.r.l, and LeMaitre Vascular Spain SL. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Foreign Currency Translation Balance sheet accounts of foreign subsidiaries are translated into U.S. dollars at year-end exchange rates. Operating accounts are translated at average exchange rates for each year. Net translation gains or losses are adjusted directly to a separate component of other comprehensive income (loss) within stockholders' equity. Foreign exchange transaction gains (losses), substantially all of which relate to intercompany activity between us and our foreign subsidiaries, are included in other income (expense) in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in our consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Our estimates and assumptions, including those related to bad debts, inventories, intangible assets, sales returns and discounts, and income taxes are reviewed on an ongoing basis and updated as appropriate. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Revenue Recognition Our revenue is derived primarily from the sale of disposable or implantable devices used during vascular surgery. We sell directly to hospitals and to distributors, as described below, and, during the periods presented in our consolidated financial statements, entered into consigned inventory arrangements with either hospitals or distributors on a limited basis. We recognize revenue when four basic criteria are met: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (2) delivery has occurred or services have been rendered; (3) the fee is fixed or determinable; and (4) collectability is reasonably assured. We assess whether the fee is fixed or determinable based on the terms of the agreement associated with the transaction. Substantially all sales transactions are based on prices that are determinable at the time the customer's purchase order is accepted by us. Orders that are not accompanied with a purchase order are either confirmed in writing or verbally with the customer. After the delivery of the product, there is no uncertainty about customer acceptance due to the nature of the product. There is no contingency for acceptance, warranty, or price protection. We do not recognize revenue on consigned sales until the customer notifies us that the products have been used. In order to determine whether collection is reasonably assured, we assess a number of factors, including past transaction history with the customer and the creditworthiness of the customer. If we determine that collection is not reasonably assured, we defer the recognition of revenue until collection becomes reasonably assured, which is generally upon receipt of payment. We provide for product returns at the time revenue is recognized based on our product return history. Based on these policies, we recognize revenue, net of allowances for returns and discounts, as products are shipped, based on shipping point terms, or at the time consigned inventory is consumed at which time title passes to customers. We recognize revenue net of allowances for returns and discounts, at the time of shipment of our products to our distributors. Customers returning products are entitled to full or partial credit based on the condition and timing of the return. To be accepted, a returned product must be unopened (if sterile), unadulterated, and undamaged, and must have at least 18 months remaining prior to its expiration date, or twelve months for our hospital customers in Europe. These return policies apply to sales to both hospitals and distributors. The amount of products returned to us, either for exchange or credit, has not been material. Nevertheless, we provide for an allowance for future sales returns based on historical return experience. Our cost of replacing defective products has not been material and is accounted for at the time of replacement. Research and Development Expense Research and development costs, principally salaries, laboratory testing, and supplies, are expensed as incurred. Shipping and Handling Costs Shipping and handling fees paid by customers are recorded within net sales, with the related expense recorded in cost of sales. Advertising Costs Advertising costs are expensed as incurred and are included as a component of sales and marketing expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. Advertising costs are as follows:   <table style="border-collapse: collapse;" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="92%" align="center"> <tr><td width="70%"> </td> <td valign="bottom" width="7%"> </td> <td> </td> <td> </td> <td> </td> <td valign="bottom" width="7%"> </td> <td> </td> <td> </td> <td> </td> <td valign="bottom" width="7%"> </td> <td> </td> <td> </td> <td> </td></tr> <tr><td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td style="border-bottom: #000000 1px solid;" valign="bottom" colspan="10" align="center">Year ended December 31,</td> <td valign="bottom"> </td></tr> <tr><td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td style="border-bottom: #000000 1px solid;" valign="bottom" colspan="2" align="center">2011</td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td style="border-bottom: #000000 1px solid;" valign="bottom" colspan="2" align="center">2010</td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td style="border-bottom: #000000 1px solid;" valign="bottom" colspan="2" align="center">2009</td> <td valign="bottom"> </td></tr> <tr><td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom" colspan="2"> </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom" colspan="2" align="center">(in thousands)</td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom" colspan="2"> </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#cceeff"><td valign="top"> Advertising expense</td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom">$</td> <td valign="bottom" align="right">284</td> <td valign="bottom" nowrap="nowrap">  </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom">$</td> <td valign="bottom" align="right">316</td> <td valign="bottom" nowrap="nowrap">  </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom">$</td> <td valign="bottom" align="right">359</td> <td valign="bottom" nowrap="nowrap">  </td></tr> <tr style="font-size: 1px;"><td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td> </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td> </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td> </td></tr></table> Cash and Cash Equivalents We consider all highly liquid instruments purchased with maturity dates of 90 days or less to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents are primarily invested in money market funds. These amounts are stated at cost, which approximates fair value. Marketable Securities We consider all highly liquid investments with maturities of 90 days or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents, and investments with maturities of greater than 90 days at the time of purchase to be marketable securities. The unrealized gains (losses) on available-for-sale securities are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). When a marketable security incurs a significant unrealized loss for a sustained period of time, we review the instrument to determine if it is other-than-temporarily impaired. If we conclude an instrument is other-than-temporarily impaired, we record the unrealized loss in the consolidated statement of operations. We did not hold any marketable securities as of December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010. Concentrations of Credit Risk Our financial instruments that are exposed to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities, accounts receivable, and notes receivable. Cash equivalents represent highly liquid investments with maturities of 90 days or less at the date of purchase. Marketable securities are investment grade, interest-earning securities and are diversified by type and industry. Credit risk related to cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities are limited based on the creditworthiness of the financial institutions at which these funds are held. Credit risk related to notes receivable is assessed based upon the individual payor as of the original fair value determination and updated periodically as required. Our accounts receivable are with customers based in the United States and internationally. Accounts receivable generally are due within 30 to 90 days of invoice and are stated at amounts due from customers, net of an allowance for doubtful accounts and sales returns, other than in certain European markets where longer payment terms are customary and may range from 90 to 240 days. We perform ongoing credit evaluations of the financial condition of our customers and adjust credit limits based upon payment history and the current creditworthiness of the customers, as determined by a review of their current credit information. We continuously monitor aging reports, collections, and payments from customers, and maintain a provision for estimated credit losses based upon historical experience and any specific customer collection issues we identify. We closely monitor outstanding receivables for potential collection risks, including those that may arise from economic conditions, in both the U.S. and international economies. Our European sales to government-owned or supported customers such as hospitals, distributors and agents, in Southern Europe, specifically Italy, Spain and Greece may be subject to significant payment delays due to government austerity measures impacting funding and payment practices. As of December 31, 2011 our receivables in Italy, Spain and Greece totaled $1.2 million, $0.2 million and $0.2 million, respectively. Receivables balances with certain publicly-owned hospitals and government supported customers in these countries can accumulate over a period of time and then subsequently be settled as large lump sum payments. While we believe our allowance for doubtful accounts in these countries is adequate as of December 31, 2011, if significant changes were to occur in the payment practices of these European governments or if government funding becomes unavailable, we may not be able to collect on receivables due to us from these customers and our write offs of uncollectible amounts may increase. We write off accounts receivable when they become uncollectible. While such credit losses have historically been within our expectations and allowances, we cannot guarantee the same credit loss rates will be experienced in the future. The allowance for doubtful accounts is our best estimate of the amount of probable credit losses in our existing accounts receivable. We review our allowance for doubtful accounts on a monthly basis and all past due balances are reviewed individually for collectability. The provision for the allowance for doubtful accounts is recorded in general and administrative expenses. The following is a summary of our allowance for doubtful accounts and sales returns:   <table style="border-collapse: collapse;" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="100%" align="center"> <tr><td width="62%"> </td> <td valign="bottom" width="7%"> </td> <td> </td> <td> </td> <td> </td> <td valign="bottom" width="7%"> </td> <td> </td> <td> </td> <td> </td> <td valign="bottom" width="7%"> </td> <td> </td> <td> </td> <td> </td> <td valign="bottom" width="7%"> </td> <td> </td> <td> </td> <td> </td></tr> <tr><td valign="bottom" rowspan="3"> </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td style="border-bottom: #000000 1px solid;" valign="bottom" rowspan="3" colspan="2" align="center">Balance  at Beginning of Period</td> <td valign="bottom" rowspan="3"> </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td style="border-bottom: #000000 1px solid;" valign="bottom" rowspan="3" colspan="2" align="center">Additions Charged  to Income</td> <td valign="bottom" rowspan="3"> </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td style="border-bottom: #000000 1px solid;" valign="bottom" rowspan="3" colspan="2" align="center">Deductions from Reserves</td> <td valign="bottom" rowspan="3"> </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td style="border-bottom: #000000 1px solid;" valign="bottom" rowspan="3" colspan="2" align="center">Balance at End of Period</td> <td valign="bottom" rowspan="3"> </td></tr> <tr><td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td></tr> <tr><td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td></tr> <tr><td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom" colspan="14" align="center">(in thousands)</td> <td valign="bottom"> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#cceeff"><td valign="top"> Allowance for doubtful accounts and sales returns:</td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td></tr> <tr><td valign="top"> Year ended December 31, 2011</td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom">$</td> <td valign="bottom" align="right">184</td> <td valign="bottom" nowrap="nowrap">  </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom">$</td> <td valign="bottom" align="right">56</td> <td valign="bottom" nowrap="nowrap">  </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom">$</td> <td valign="bottom" align="right">29</td> <td valign="bottom" nowrap="nowrap">  </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom">$</td> <td valign="bottom" align="right">211</td> <td valign="bottom" nowrap="nowrap">  </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#cceeff"><td valign="top"> Year ended December 31, 2010</td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom" align="right">159</td> <td valign="bottom" nowrap="nowrap">  </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom" align="right">55</td> <td valign="bottom" nowrap="nowrap">  </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom" align="right">30</td> <td valign="bottom" nowrap="nowrap">  </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom" align="right">184</td> <td valign="bottom" nowrap="nowrap">  </td></tr> <tr><td valign="top"> Year ended December 31, 2009</td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom" align="right">160</td> <td valign="bottom" nowrap="nowrap">  </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom" align="right">75</td> <td valign="bottom" nowrap="nowrap">  </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom" align="right">76</td> <td valign="bottom" nowrap="nowrap">  </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom" align="right">159</td> <td valign="bottom" nowrap="nowrap">  </td></tr></table>   Fair Value of Financial Instruments Our financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities, accounts receivable, trade payables, and notes payable. The fair value of the majority of these instruments approximates their carrying value based upon their short-term nature or variable rates of interest. Inventory Inventory consists of finished products, work-in-process, and raw materials. We value inventory at the lower of cost or market value. Cost includes materials, labor, and manufacturing overhead and is determined using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method. On a quarterly basis, we review inventory quantities on hand and analyze the provision for excess and obsolete inventory based primarily on product expiration dating and our estimated sales forecast, which is based on sales history and anticipated future demand. Our estimates of future product demand may not be accurate, and we may understate or overstate the provision required for excess and obsolete inventory. Accordingly, any significant unanticipated changes in demand could have a significant impact on the value of our inventory and results of operations. Property and Equipment Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is provided over the estimated useful lives of the related assets using straight-line method as follows:   <table style="border-collapse: collapse;" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="84%" align="center"> <tr><td width="52%"> </td> <td valign="bottom" width="4%"> </td> <td> </td></tr> <tr><td valign="bottom" nowrap="nowrap" align="center"> Description</td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom" align="center"> Useful Life</td></tr> <tr><td valign="top" align="center">Computers and equipment</td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom" align="center">3–5 years</td></tr> <tr><td valign="top" align="center">Machinery and equipment</td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom" align="center">3–10 years</td></tr> <tr><td valign="top" align="center">Leasehold improvements</td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom" align="center">The shorter of its useful life or lease term</td></tr></table> Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to operations when incurred, while additions and betterments are capitalized. When assets are retired or disposed, the asset's original cost and related accumulated depreciation are eliminated from the accounts and any gain or loss is reflected in the statement of operations. Valuation of Business Combinations We assign the value of the consideration transferred to acquire a business to the tangible assets and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed on the basis of their fair values at the date of acquisition. We assess the fair value of assets, including intangible assets, using a variety of methods and are usually performed by an independent appraiser who measures fair value from the perspective of a market participant. Beginning January 1, 2009, acquisitions have been accounted for using the acquisition method, and the acquired companies' results have been included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements from their respective dates of acquisition. Acquisition transaction costs have been recorded in general and administrative expenses, and are expensed as incurred. Allocation of the purchase price for acquisitions is based on estimates of the fair value of the net assets acquired and, for acquisitions completed within the past year, is subject to adjustment upon finalization of the purchase price allocation. Our acquisitions have historically been made at prices above the fair value of the acquired assets, resulting in goodwill, due to expectations of synergies of combining the businesses. These synergies include use of our existing commercial infrastructure to expand sales of the acquired businesses' products, use of the commercial infrastructure of the acquired businesses to cost-effectively expand sales of our products, and the elimination of redundant facilities, functions and staffing.   Contingent Consideration For business combinations completed after January 1, 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the FASB) requires contingent consideration be recognized at the date of acquisition, based on the fair value at that date, and then re-measured periodically through adjustments to net income. We have not completed an acquisition with contingent consideration subsequent to January 1, 2009. Impairment of Long-lived Assets We review our long-lived assets (primarily property and equipment and intangible assets) subject to amortization quarterly to determine if any adverse conditions exist or a change in circumstances has occurred that would indicate impairment or a change in the remaining useful life. Conditions that may indicate impairment include, but are not limited to, a significant adverse change in legal factors or business climate that could affect the value of an asset, a product recall, or an adverse action or assessment by a regulator. If an impairment indicator exists, we test the intangible asset for recoverability. We record impairment losses on long-lived assets used in operations when events and circumstances indicate that the assets might be impaired and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the carrying amount of those assets. Impairment is measured based on the fair market value of the affected asset using discounted cash flows. In 2011, we determined that certain patents within our portfolio in the United States and Europe had no value based upon an analysis of expected economic benefits. As a result, we recorded an impairment charge of $0.1 million for the write-down of these patents. In 2010, we recognized impairment charges of $0.4 million related to our TAArget and UniFit products associated with certain technology, customer lists, and fixed assets. We determined that an impairment indicator existed with respect to these products as we suspended enrollment into our UNITE and ENTRUST clinical trials and ceased development efforts related to these products in October 2010. The fair value of the residual intangible assets of $0.2 million was determined by projected future cash flows discounted to their net present value and will be amortized over three years. Additionally, we incurred a $0.1 million impairment charge associated with a Biomateriali private label customer relationship, which we subsequently terminated. In 2009, we determined that certain patents within our endovascular product category portfolio in the United States and Europe had no value based upon an analysis of expected economic benefits. As a result, we recorded an impairment charge of $0.1 million for the write-down of these patents. These impairment adjustments fall within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy, due to the use of significant unobservable inputs to determine fair value. The fair value measurements were calculated using unobservable inputs, primarily using the income approach, specifically the discounted cash flow method. The amount and timing of future cash flows within our analysis was based on our most recent operational budgets, long range strategic plans and other estimates. Goodwill Goodwill represents the amount of consideration paid in connection with business acquisitions in excess of the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Goodwill is evaluated for impairment annually or more frequently if indicators of impairment are present or changes in circumstances suggest that an impairment may exist. We evaluate the December 31 balance of the carrying value of goodwill based on a single reporting unit annually. We perform an assessment of qualitative factors to determine if it is "more likely than not" that the fair value of our reporting unit is less than its carrying value as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform the two-step goodwill impairment test. The "more likely than not" threshold is defined as having a likelihood of more than 50 percent. If required, the next step of the goodwill impairment test, is to determine the fair value of the reporting unit. The implied fair value of goodwill is determined on the same basis as the amount of goodwill recognized in connection with a business combination. Specifically, the fair value of a reporting unit is allocated to all of the assets and liabilities (including any unrecognized intangible assets) as if the reporting unit had been acquired in a business combination as of the date of the impairment review and as if the fair value of the reporting unit was the price paid to acquire the reporting unit. The excess of the fair value of a reporting unit over the amounts assigned to its assets and liabilities is the implied fair value of goodwill. If the carrying amount of the reporting unit goodwill exceeds the implied fair value of that goodwill, an impairment loss shall be recognized in an amount equal to that excess. We have determined that no goodwill impairment charges were required for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010, or 2009. Other Intangible Assets Other intangible assets consist primarily of patents, trademarks, technology licenses, and customer relationships acquired in connection with business acquisitions and asset acquisitions and are amortized over their estimated useful lives, ranging from 1 to 15 years. Stock-based Compensation We recognize, as expense, the estimated fair value of stock options to employees which is determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. We have elected to recognize the compensation cost of all share-based awards on a straight-line basis over the vesting period of the award. In periods that we grant stock options, fair value assumptions are based on volatility, interest, dividend yield, and expected term over which the stock options will be outstanding. The computation of expected volatility is based on the historical volatility of the company's stock. The interest rate for periods within the contractual life of the award is based on the U.S. Treasury risk-free interest rate in effect at the time of grant. The expected lives of the options were estimated using the simplified method for "plain vanilla" options. Computation of expected forfeitures is based on historical forfeiture rates of our share-based awards. We also issue restricted stock units (RSUs) as an additional form of equity compensation to our employees, officers, and directors, pursuant to our stockholder-approved 2006 Plan. RSUs entitle the grantee to an issuance of stock at no cost and generally vest over a period of time determined by our Board of Directors at the time of grant based upon the continued service to the company. The fair market value of the award is determined based on the number of RSUs granted and the market value of our common stock on the grant date and is amortized to expense over the period of vesting. Computation of expected forfeitures is based on historical forfeiture rates of our share-based awards. Unvested RSUs are forfeited and canceled as of the date that employment or service to the company terminates. RSUs are settled in shares of our common stock upon vesting. We may repurchase common stock upon our employees' vesting in RSUs in order to cover any minimum tax withholding liability as a result of the RSUs having vested. Share-based compensation charges are recorded net of the estimated forfeitures and will be adjusted in future periods to reflect the results of actual forfeitures and vesting. Share-based compensation charges are recorded across the consolidated statement of operations based upon the grantee's primary function. The expected forfeiture rates are as follows:   <table style="border-collapse: collapse;" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="92%" align="center"> <tr><td width="78%"> </td> <td valign="bottom" width="7%"> </td> <td> </td> <td> </td> <td> </td> <td valign="bottom" width="6%"> </td> <td> </td> <td> </td> <td> </td> <td valign="bottom" width="6%"> </td> <td> </td> <td> </td> <td> </td></tr> <tr><td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom" colspan="10" align="center"> Year ended December 31,</td> <td valign="bottom"> </td></tr> <tr><td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td style="border-bottom: #000000 1px solid;" valign="bottom" colspan="2" align="center">2011</td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td style="border-bottom: #000000 1px solid;" valign="bottom" colspan="2" align="center">2010</td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td style="border-bottom: #000000 1px solid;" valign="bottom" colspan="2" align="center">2009</td> <td valign="bottom"> </td></tr> <tr><td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom" colspan="10" align="center">(in thousands)</td> <td valign="bottom"> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#cceeff"><td valign="top"> Expected forfeiture rate</td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom" align="right">16</td> <td valign="bottom" nowrap="nowrap">% </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom" align="right">16</td> <td valign="bottom" nowrap="nowrap">% </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom" align="right">18</td> <td valign="bottom" nowrap="nowrap">% </td></tr> <tr style="font-size: 1px;"><td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td> </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td> </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td> </td></tr></table> Commitments and Contingencies In the normal course of business, we are subject to proceedings, lawsuits, and other claims and assessments for matters related to, among other things, patent infringement, business acquisitions, employment, and product recalls. We assess the likelihood of any adverse judgments or outcomes to these matters as well as potential ranges of probable losses. A determination of the amount of reserves required, if any, for these contingencies is made after careful analysis of each individual issue. The required reserves may change in the future due to new developments in each matter or changes in approach such as a change in settlement strategy in dealing with these matters. We record charges for the losses we anticipate incurring in connection with litigation and claims against us when we conclude a loss is probable and we can reasonably estimate these losses. During the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010, and 2009, we were not subject to any material litigation or claims and assessments. Income Taxes We account for income taxes under the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under the asset and liability method, deferred taxes are determined based on the difference between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect in the years in which the differences are expected to reverse. The provision for income taxes includes taxes currently payable and deferred taxes resulting from the tax effects of temporary differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities. We maintain valuation allowances where it is more likely than not that all or a portion of a deferred tax asset will not be realized. Changes in the valuation allowances are included in our tax provision in the period of change. In determining whether a valuation allowance is warranted, we evaluate factors such as prior earnings history, expected future earnings, carry-back and carry-forward periods and tax strategies that could potentially enhance the likelihood of the realization of a deferred tax asset. We recognize, measure, present and disclose in our financial statements, uncertain tax positions that we have taken or expect to take on a tax return. We recognize in our financial statements the impact of tax positions that meet a "more likely than not" threshold, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position are measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than fifty percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. Our policy is to classify interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense, which is consistent with that of prior years. Comprehensive Income Comprehensive income is defined as the change in equity of a business enterprise during a period from transactions and other events and circumstances from non-owner sources. Other than reported net income, comprehensive income includes foreign currency translation adjustments and unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale marketable securities, which are disclosed in the accompanying consolidated statements of stockholders' equity and comprehensive income. As of December 31, 2011, accumulated other comprehensive loss consisted of foreign currency translation adjustment losses of $0.6 million. As of December 31, 2010, accumulated other comprehensive loss consisted of foreign currency translation adjustment losses of $0.4 million. Restructuring We record restructuring charges incurred in connection with consolidation or relocation of operations, exited business lines, shutdowns of specific sites, or distributor terminations. These restructuring charges, which reflect our commitment to a termination or exit plan that will begin within twelve months, are based on estimates of the expected costs associated with site closure, legal matters, contract terminations, employee separation arrangements, or other costs directly related to the restructuring. If the actual cost incurred exceeds the estimated cost, an additional charge to earnings will result. If the actual cost is less than the estimated cost, a credit to earnings will be recognized.   Net Income per Share We compute basic earnings per share by dividing net income available for common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year. Except where the result would be anti-dilutive to net income per share, diluted earnings per share has been computed using the treasury stock method and reflects the potential vesting of restricted common stock and the potential exercise of stock options, as well as their related income tax effects. The computation of basic and diluted net income per share is as follows:   <table style="border-collapse: collapse;" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="100%" align="center"> <tr><td

minimize differences between GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). The new guidance requires us to provide information about valuation techniques and unobservable inputs used in Level 3 fair value measurements and provide a narrative description of the sensitivity of Level 3 measurements to changes in unobservable inputs. The guidance is effective on January 1, 2012. We do not expect that the adoption of this standard will have a material impact on our results of operations or financial position. In June 2011, new guidance was issued pertaining to the presentation of comprehensive income. The new rule eliminates the current option to report other comprehensive income and its components in the statement of changes in equity. The standard is intended to provide a more consistent method of presenting non-owner transactions that affect the company's equity. Under the new guidance, an entity can elect to present items of net income and other comprehensive income in one continuous statement or in two separate, but consecutive, statements. The new guidance is effective for fiscal years that begin after December 15, 2011. We do not expect that the adoption of this standard will have a material impact on our results of operations or financial position. In September 2011, the FASB issued new authoritative guidance pertaining to the testing of goodwill for impairment which allows an entity to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is necessary to perform the two-step quantitative goodwill impairment test. Under this new guidance, an entity would not be required to calculate the fair value of a reporting unit unless the entity determines, based on a qualitative assessment, that it is more likely than not that its fair value is less than its carrying amount. The changes are effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011; however, early adoption is permitted. We adopted the new authoritative guidance in the fourth quarter of 2011 in connection with our annual impairment test. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on our results of operations or financial position. </div>

<div> 10. Stockholders' Equity Stock Award Plans Under our 1997, 1998, 2000, and 2004 stock option plans, we authorized for the granting of options in the form of incentive stock options or non-qualified stock options to employees, directors, and consultants to purchase up to 1,688,702 shares of common stock. The stock options provide the holder the right to purchase common stock at a specific exercise price and the expected term will not exceed ten years. Incentive stock options are required to be issued at not less than fair market value at the date of the grant and generally vest over four or five years. The term of the options is determined by our Board of Directors but in no event will exceed ten years from date of grant, except with respect to one non-qualified option issued under our 1997 stock option plan. In May 2006 we approved a 2006 Stock Option and Incentive Plan (the 2006 Plan), which became effective upon the initial public offering. In 2010 we amended the 2006 Plan to increase the aggregate pool of available shares to 3,000,000 of common stock. The plan allows for granting of incentive stock options, non-qualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, RSUs, unrestricted stock awards, and deferred stock awards to our officers, employees, directors, and consultants. In connection with the adoption of the 2006 Plan, no further option grants are permitted under the 1997, 1998, 2000, and 2004 stock option plans and any expirations, cancellations, or terminations under the previous plans are available for issuance under the 2006 Plan. We may satisfy awards upon exercise of stock options or RSUs with either newly issued or treasury shares. The total number of shares currently authorized for stock award plans is 4,618,003 of which approximately 1,210,715 remain available for grant as of December 31, 2011. We have computed the fair value of employee stock options using the following weighted average assumptions:   <table style="border-collapse: collapse;" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"

share-based compensation expense of $2.3 million for existing stock options and RSUs outstanding at December 31, 2011, over a weighted-average period of 3.2 years. Stock Repurchase Plan In July 2009, our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $1.0 million of our common stock from time to time on the open market or in privately negotiated transactions. In October 2009, our Board of Directors increased this amount to $2.0 million, and in July 2010, our Board of Directors further increased this amount to $5.0 million. In November 2011, our Board of Directors further increased this amount to $10.0 million and extended the program through December 31, 2013. The timing and number of any shares repurchased will be determined based on our evaluation of market conditions and other factors. Repurchases may also be made under a Rule 10b5-1 plan, which would permit shares to be repurchased when we might otherwise be precluded from doing so under insider trading laws. The repurchase program may be suspended or discontinued at any time and will conclude no later than December 31, 2013, unless otherwise extended by our Board of Directors. The repurchase program is being funded using our available cash and cash equivalents. We repurchased 300,326 shares for $1.9 million in the year ended December 31, 2011. We repurchased 378,528 shares for $2.2 million in the year ended December 31, 2010. We had the authority to purchase up to an additional $5.3 million of common stock under the repurchase program as of December 31, 2011. Dividends On February 24, 2011, our Board of Directors approved a policy for the payment of quarterly cash dividends on our common stock of $0.02 per share. Future declarations of quarterly dividends and the establishment of future record and payment dates are subject to approval by our Board of Directors on a quarterly basis. The dividend activity for the year ended December 31, 2011 is as follows:   <table style="border-collapse: collapse;" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="100%" align="center"> <tr><td width="35%"> </td> <td valign="bottom" width="9%"> </td> <td width="32%"> </td> <td valign="bottom" width="9%"> </td> <td> </td> <td> </td> <td> </td> <td valign="bottom" width="9%"> </td> <td> </td> <td> </td> <td> </td></tr> <tr><td valign="bottom" nowrap="nowrap" align="center"> Record Date</td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom" align="center"> Payment Date</td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td style="border-bottom: #000000 1px solid;" valign="bottom" colspan="2" align="center">Per Share Amount</td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td style="border-bottom: #000000 1px solid;" valign="bottom" colspan="2" align="center">Dividend Payment</td> <td valign="bottom"> </td></tr> <tr><td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom" colspan="2"> </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom" colspan="2" align="center">(in thousands)</td> <td valign="bottom"> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#cceeff"><td valign="top" align="center"> March 22, 2011</td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom" align="center">April 5, 2011</td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom">$</td> <td valign="bottom" align="right">0.02</td> <td valign="bottom" nowrap="nowrap">  </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom">$</td> <td valign="bottom" align="right">309</td> <td valign="bottom" nowrap="nowrap">  </td></tr> <tr><td valign="top" align="center"> May 20, 2011</td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom" align="center">June 6, 2011</td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom">$</td> <td valign="bottom" align="right">0.02</td> <td valign="bottom" nowrap="nowrap">  </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom">$</td> <td valign="bottom" align="right">310</td> <td valign="bottom" nowrap="nowrap">  </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#cceeff"><td valign="top" align="center"> August 19, 2011</td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom" align="center">September 6, 2011</td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom">$</td> <td valign="bottom" align="right">0.02</td> <td valign="bottom" nowrap="nowrap">  </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom">$</td> <td valign="bottom" align="right">310</td> <td valign="bottom" nowrap="nowrap">  </td></tr> <tr><td valign="top" align="center"> November 23, 2011</td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom" align="center">December 6, 2011</td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom">$</td> <td valign="bottom" align="right">0.02</td> <td valign="bottom" nowrap="nowrap">  </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom">$</td> <td valign="bottom" align="right">308</td> <td valign="bottom" nowrap="nowrap">  </td></tr></table> On February 23, 2012, our Board of Directors approved a quarterly cash dividend on our common stock of $0.025 per share payable on April 3, 2012, to stockholders of record at the close of business on March 20, 2012, which will total approximately $0.4 million. </div>
