| DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS |
Charles & Colvard, Ltd. (the "Company"), a North Carolina corporation founded in 1995, manufactures, markets, and distributes Charles & Colvard Created Moissanite® jewels (hereinafter referred to as moissanite or moissanite jewels) and finished jewelry featuring moissanite for sale in the worldwide jewelry market. Moissanite, also known by its chemical name of silicon carbide ("SiC"), is a rare mineral first discovered in a meteor crater. Because naturally occurring SiC crystals are too small for commercial use, larger crystals must be grown in a laboratory. Leveraging its advantage of being the sole source worldwide of created moissanite jewels, the Company's strategy is to establish itself with reputable, high-quality, and sophisticated brands and to position moissanite as an affordable, luxurious alternative to other gemstones, such as diamond. The Company believes this is possible due to moissanite's exceptional brilliance, fire, luster, durability, and rarity like no other jewel available on the market. The Company sells loose moissanite jewels and finished jewelry at wholesale to distributors, manufacturers, and retailers and at retail to end consumers through its wholly owned operating subsidiaries Moissanite.com, LLC and Charles & Colvard Direct, LLC. |

| BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation - The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP") for interim financial information. However, certain information or footnote disclosures normally included in complete financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed, or omitted, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). In the opinion of the Company's management, the unaudited statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q include all normal and recurring adjustments necessary for the fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented. The results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2012. The consolidated financial statements as of and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are unaudited. The balance sheet as of December 31, 2011 is derived from the audited financial statements as of that date. The accompanying statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and related notes, together with Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, contained in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011 filed with the SEC on March 29, 2012 (the "2011 Annual Report"). The accompanying consolidated financial statements as of and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries Moissanite.com, LLC, formed in 2011; Charles & Colvard Direct, LLC, formed in 2011; and Charles & Colvard (HK) Ltd., the Company's Hong Kong subsidiary that became a dormant entity in the second quarter of 2009 and the operations of which ceased in 2008. All intercompany accounts have been eliminated. Significant Accounting Policies - In the opinion of the Company's management, the significant accounting policies used for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 are consistent with those used for the year ended December 31, 2011. Accordingly, please refer to the 2011 Annual Report for the Company's significant accounting policies. Use of Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The most significant estimates impacting the Company's consolidated financial statements relate to valuation and classification of inventories, accounts receivable reserves, deferred tax assets, uncertain tax positions, stock compensation expense, and cooperative advertising. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. Reclassifications - Certain amounts in the prior year's consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. Recently Adopted/Issued Accounting Pronouncements - All new and recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements have been deemed to be not relevant to the Company and therefore are not expected to have a material impact once adopted. |

| SEGMENT INFORMATION AND GEOGRAPHIC DATA |
The Company reports segment information based on the "management" approach. The management approach designates the internal reporting used by management for making decisions and assessing performance as the source of the Company's operating and reportable segments. The Company manages its business primarily by its product lines. Accordingly, the Company determined its two operating and reporting segments to be loose jewels and finished jewelry. The accounting policies of these segments are the same as those described in Note 2, "Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies," of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the 2011 Annual Report. The Company evaluates the performance of its segments based on net sales and segment gross profit, or the excess of product sales over segment cost of goods sold. Segment cost of goods sold is defined as product cost of goods sold excluding non-capitalized expenses from the Company's manufacturing and production control departments, comprising personnel costs, depreciation, rent, utilities, and corporate overhead allocations; freight out; inventory valuation allowance adjustments; and other inventory adjustments, comprising costs of quality issues, damaged goods, and inventory write-offs. Accordingly, also excluded from the Company's segment performance measures are operating expenses, comprising sales and marketing, general and administrative, and research and development expenses; interest; and taxes. Summary information by segment is as follows:
A reconciliation of the Company's segment cost of goods sold to cost of goods sold as reported in the consolidated financial statements is as follows:
The Company's net inventories by segment are as follows:
Supplies inventories of approximately $122,000 and $121,000 at June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively, included in finished goods inventories in the consolidated financial statements are omitted from inventories by segment because they are used in both product lines and are not maintained separately. The Company recognizes sales by geographic area based on the country in which the customer is based. A portion of the Company's international sales represents products sold internationally that may be re-imported to United States ("U.S.") retailers. The following presents certain data by geographic area:

| INVESTMENTS |
Investments consist of long-term U.S. government agency securities carried at amortized cost using the effective interest method. The Company classifies its marketable securities as held-to-maturity based upon management's positive intention and ability to hold these securities until their maturity dates. The following table summarizes information about held-to-maturity investments at June 30, 2012:
As of June 30, 2012, the estimated fair value of the investments was greater than the amortized cost. Because management intends to hold the investments until their maturity dates, this unrealized gain was not recorded in the consolidated financial statements. The maturities of held-to-maturity investments at June 30, 2012 were as follows:

| FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS [Abstract] | ||||||||||||
| FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS |
Under U.S. GAAP, fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. U.S. GAAP also establishes a hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available. Observable inputs are obtained from independent sources and can be validated by a third party, whereas unobservable inputs reflect assumptions regarding what a third party would use in pricing an asset or liability. The fair value hierarchy consists of three levels based on the reliability of inputs, as follows:
The Company evaluates assets and liabilities subject to fair value measurements on a recurring and non-recurring basis to determine the appropriate level to classify them for each reporting period. This determination requires significant judgments to be made by management of the Company. The instruments identified as subject to fair value measurements on a recurring basis are cash and cash equivalents, trade accounts receivable, held-to-maturity investments, trade accounts payable, and accrued expenses. All instruments other than held-to-maturity investments are reflected in the consolidated balance sheets at carrying value, which approximates fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments. The estimated fair value of the Company's held-to-maturity investments as of June 30, 2012 utilized Level 2 inputs of similar investments traded on active securities exchanges. Assets that are measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis include property and equipment and intangible assets, comprising patents, license rights, and trademarks. These items are recognized at fair value when they are considered to be impaired. Level 3 inputs are primarily based on the estimated future cash flows of the asset determined by market inquiries to establish fair market value of used machinery or future revenue expected to be generated with the assistance of patents, license rights, and trademarks. |

| INVENTORIES |
The Company's total inventories, net of reserves, consisted of the following as of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011:
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market on an average cost basis. Inventory costs include direct material and labor, inbound freight, purchasing and receiving costs, inspection costs, and warehousing costs. Any inventory on hand at the measurement date in excess of the Company's current requirements based on historical and anticipated levels of sales is classified as long-term on the Company's consolidated balance sheets. The Company's classification of long-term inventory requires it to estimate the portion of on-hand inventory that can be realized over the next 12 months and does not include precious metal, labor, and other inventory purchases expected to be both purchased and realized over the next 12 months. The Company's work-in-process inventories include raw SiC crystals on which processing costs, such as labor and sawing, have been incurred and components, such as metal castings and finished good moissanite jewels, that have been issued to jobs in the manufacture of finished jewelry. The Company's moissanite jewel manufacturing process involves the production of intermediary shapes, called "preforms," that vary depending upon the size and shape of the finished jewel. To maximize manufacturing efficiencies, preforms may be made in advance of current finished inventory needs but remain in work-in-process inventories. As of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, work-in-process inventories issued to active production jobs approximated $843,000 and $513,000, respectively. Obsolescence is not a factor in the Company's loose jewel inventory valuation. The Company's jewels do not degrade over time and inventory generally consists of the shapes and sizes most commonly used in the jewelry industry. In addition, the majority of jewel inventory is not mounted in finished jewelry settings and is therefore not subject to fashion trends. The Company has very small market penetration in the worldwide jewelry market, and the Company has the exclusive right in the U.S. through mid-2015 and in many other countries through mid-2016 to produce and sell created SiC for use in jewelry applications. In view of the foregoing factors, management has concluded that no excess or obsolete loose jewel inventory reserve requirements existed as of June 30, 2012. In 2010, the Company began manufacturing finished jewelry featuring moissanite. Finished jewelry is more fashion oriented and subject to styling trends that could render certain designs obsolete. The majority of the Company's finished jewelry is held in inventory for resale and consists of such basic designs as stud earrings, solitaire and three-stone rings, pendants, and bracelets that tend not to be subject to significant obsolescence risk due to their classic styling. In addition, the Company manufactures small individual quantities of designer-inspired fashion jewelry as part of its sample line that are used in the selling process to its wholesale customers. Typically in the jewelry industry, slow-moving or discontinued lines are sold as closeouts in alternative sales channels. The Company reviews the finished jewelry inventory on an ongoing basis for any lower of cost or market and obsolescence issues and has concluded that no such finished jewelry inventory reserve requirements relating to the Company's finished jewelry products existed as of June 30, 2012. Periodically, the Company ships finished goods inventory to customers on consignment terms. Under these terms, the customer assumes the risk of loss and has an absolute right of return for a specified period. Finished goods on consignment are net of a shrinkage reserve of $11,000 at each of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011 to allow for certain loose jewels and finished jewelry on consignment with customers that may not be returned or may be returned in a condition that does not meet the Company's current grading standards. Total net loose jewel inventories at June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, including inventory on consignment net of reserves, were $28.96 million and $30.78 million, respectively. The loose jewel inventories at June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011 include an inventory reserve for shrinkage, or jewels on review with prospective customers and vendors that may not be returned to the Company, of $51,000 and $14,000, respectively. Loose jewel inventories at June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011 also include an inventory reserve for recuts, or the projected material loss resulting from the recutting of damaged jewels into smaller loose jewels to remove the damage, of $36,000 and $30,000, respectively. Total net jewelry inventories at June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, including inventory on consignment net of reserves and including new jewelry manufactured by the Company since entering the finished jewelry business in 2010, were $5.17 million and $4.11 million, respectively. Jewelry inventories consist primarily of finished goods, a portion of which the Company acquired as part of a January 2009 settlement agreement with a former manufacturer customer to reduce the outstanding receivable to the Company. Due to the lack of a plan to market this inventory at that time, a jewelry inventory reserve was established to reduce the majority of the jewelry inventory value to scrap value, or the amount the Company would expect to obtain by melting the gold in the jewelry and returning to loose-jewel finished goods inventory those jewels that meet grading standards. This scrap reserve is adjusted at each reporting period for the market price of gold and has generally declined as the associated jewelry is sold down, with a balance of $150,000 and $173,000 at June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively. Because the finished jewelry the Company began manufacturing in 2010 after it entered that business was made pursuant to an operational plan to market and sell the inventory, it is not subject to this reserve. The finished jewelry inventories at December 31, 2011 also include an inventory reserve for jewelry in need of repair of $45,000. The need for adjustments to inventory reserves is evaluated on a period-by-period basis. |

| INCOME TAXES |
The Company recognized an income tax expense of approximately $7,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2012 and an income tax net benefit of approximately $311,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2012, as compared to an income tax expense of approximately $13,000 and $35,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, respectively. During 2008, the Company recorded a full valuation allowance against certain deferred tax assets consisting primarily of net operating loss carryforwards. Due to continued uncertainty over sufficient future taxable income to fully utilize these deferred tax assets, the Company did not record an income tax expense for the pretax income incurred during the three months ended June 30, 2012 or an income tax benefit for the pretax losses incurred during the six months ended June 30, 2012 and the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, nor did the Company reduce the valuation allowance against these deferred tax assets. Until such time that the uncertainty for utilization of the remaining net operating losses is overcome, the Company does not expect to recognize income tax expense or benefit for operating income or loss, respectively, in future periods. The Company recognized approximately $7,000 and $13,000 of income tax expense for the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively, and approximately $35,000 of income tax expense for the six months ended June 30, 2011 for estimated tax, penalties, and interest associated with uncertain tax positions. During the six months ended June 30, 2012, the Company entered into a voluntary disclosure agreement with a taxing authority for which the Company had previously recorded a liability for an uncertain tax position. As a result of the agreement, the Company reduced its total recorded liabilities relating to uncertain tax positions by approximately $320,000 and recognized a corresponding income tax benefit. This benefit was offset by approximately $9,000 of income tax expense for estimated tax, penalties, and interest for other uncertain tax positions. |

| COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES |
Lease Commitments In March 2004, the Company entered into a seven-year lease, beginning in August 2004, for approximately 16,500 square feet of mixed-use space from an unaffiliated third party at a base cost with escalations throughout the lease term plus additional common-area expenses based on the Company's proportionate share of the lessor's operating costs. The lease provided for two rent holidays, during which no rent was payable, and a moving allowance. In January 2011, the Company amended the lease effective January 1, 2011 to extend the term through January 2017 in exchange for a reduced rental rate and 50% rent abatement in the first 12 months of the extended term. The amended lease includes 3% annual rent escalations and a one-time option to terminate the lease effective as of July 31, 2014. The Company recognizes rent expense on a straight-line basis, giving consideration to the rent holidays, the moving allowance paid to the Company, and the rent abatement. At the Company's option, the amended lease can be extended for one five-year period. As of June 30, 2012, the Company's future minimum payments under this operating lease were as follows:
Rent expense for the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 was approximately $49,000 and $48,000, respectively. Rent expense for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 was approximately $100,000 and $94,000, respectively. Purchase Commitments On June 6, 1997, the Company entered into an amended and restated exclusive supply agreement with Cree, Inc. ("Cree"). The exclusive supply agreement had an initial term of ten years that was extended in January 2005 to July 2015. In connection with the amended and restated exclusive supply agreement, the Company has committed to purchase from Cree a minimum of 50%, by dollar volume, of its raw material SiC crystal requirements. If the Company's orders require Cree to expand beyond specified production levels, the Company must commit to purchase certain minimum quantities. No outstanding purchase commitments existed under the amended and restated exclusive supply agreement as of June 30, 2012. Legal Proceedings On July 26, 2011, the Company learned that BetterThanDiamond.com requested that the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office ("USPTO") conduct an ex parte re-examination of the Company's U.S. Patent No. 5,723,391 (the "'391 Patent") for manufacturing silicon carbide gemstones based on claims of prior art. On October 5, 2011, the USPTO granted the re-examination request based on its finding that the information provided in the request raises "a substantial new question of patentability." On May 30, 2012, the USPTO issued a non-final Office Action in Ex Parte Re-examination that rejected Claims 1 through 3 of the '391 Patent based on its initial review of the prior art. As this action is non-final, the '391 Patent remains valid and enforceable until the '391 Patent expires, subject to a final order cancelling the patent prior to its expiration date. On July 27, 2012, the Company responded to the USPTO for the first time in this matter, a process that involves the introduction of any evidence, counter-argument, or defense to the claims of prior art. The Company firmly believes that the '391 Patent is valid and enforceable and is committed to vigorously defending the '391 Patent. |

| STOCK- BASED COMPENSATION |
The following table summarizes the components of the Company's stock-based compensation included in net income (loss):
Due to the Company's valuation allowance against deferred tax assets, all of the above income tax benefit was reserved as of June 30, 2012. No stock-based compensation was capitalized as a cost of inventory during the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011. Stock Options - The following is a summary of the stock option activity for the six months ended June 30, 2012:
The weighted average grant date fair value of stock options granted during the six months ended June 30, 2012 was $2.87. The total fair value of stock options that vested during the six months ended June 30, 2012 was approximately $227,000. The fair value of each stock option is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions for stock options granted during the six months ended June 30, 2012:
Although the Company issued dividends in prior years, a dividend yield of zero was used due to the uncertainty of future dividend payments. Volatility is a measure of the amount by which a financial variable such as share price has fluctuated (historical volatility) or is expected to fluctuate (expected volatility) during a period. The Company estimates expected volatility giving primary consideration to the historical volatility of its common stock. The risk-free interest rate is based on the published yield available on U.S. Treasury issues with an equivalent term remaining equal to the expected life of the stock option. The expected lives of the stock options represent the estimated period of time until exercise or forfeiture and are based on historical experience of similar awards. The following table summarizes information about stock options outstanding at June 30, 2012:
As of June 30, 2012, the unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to unvested stock options was approximately $869,000, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 26 months. The aggregate intrinsic value of stock options outstanding, exercisable, and vested or expected to vest at June 30, 2012 was approximately $1.93 million, $1.10 million, and $1.85 million, respectively. This amount is before applicable income taxes and represents the closing market price of the Company's common stock at June 30, 2012 less the grant price, multiplied by the number of stock options that have a grant price that is less than the closing market price. This amount represents the amount that would have been received by the optionees had these stock options been exercised on that date. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, the aggregate intrinsic value of stock options exercised was approximately $25,000 and $133,000, respectively. Restricted Stock - The following is a summary of the restricted stock activity for the six months ended June 30, 2012:
As of June 30, 2012, the unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to unvested restricted stock was approximately $641,000, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 21 months. Dividends - The Company has not paid any cash dividends in the current year through June 30, 2012. |

| NET INCOME (LOSS) PER COMMON SHARE |
Basic net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the periods. Fully diluted net income (loss) per common share is computed using the weighted average number of common and dilutive common equivalent shares outstanding during the periods. Common equivalent shares consist of stock options that are computed using the treasury stock method. The following table reconciles the differences between the basic and fully diluted earnings per share presentations:
For the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, stock options to purchase approximately 313,000 and 781,000 shares, respectively, were excluded from the computation of fully diluted net income (loss) per common share because the exercise price of the stock options was greater than the average market price of the common shares or the effect of inclusion of such amounts would be anti-dilutive to net income (loss) per common share. For the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, stock options to purchase approximately 390,000 and 781,000 shares, respectively, were excluded from the computation of fully diluted net income (loss) per common share because the exercise price of the stock options was greater than the average market price of the common shares or the effect of inclusion of such amounts would be anti-dilutive to net income (loss) per common share. |

| MAJOR CUSTOMERS AND CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK [Abstract] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| MAJOR CUSTOMERS AND CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK |
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, investments, and trade accounts receivable. The Company maintains cash, cash equivalents, and investments with high-quality financial institutions and invests in low-risk securities, primarily money market funds or long-term U.S. government agency obligations. At times, cash balances may exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") insurable limits. The Company has never experienced any losses related to these balances. All of the Company's non-interest bearing cash balances were fully insured at June 30, 2012 due to a temporary federal program in effect from December 31, 2010 through December 31, 2012. Under the program, there is no limit to the amount of insurance for eligible accounts. Beginning in 2013, insurance coverage will revert to $250,000 per depositor at each financial institution, and the Company's non-interest bearing cash balances may again exceed federally insured limits. Interest-bearing amounts on deposit in excess of FDIC insurable limits at June 30, 2012 approximated $7.68 million. Trade receivables potentially subject the Company to credit risk. The Company's standard customer payment terms on trade receivables are generally between 30 and 90 days, though it may offer extended terms in limited circumstances and on significant orders from time to time. The Company believes its competitors and other vendors in the jewelry industry have also expanded their use of extended payment terms and, in aggregate, the Company believes that by expanding its use of extended payment terms, it has provided a competitive response in its market and that its net sales have been favorably impacted. The Company is unable to estimate the impact of this program on its net sales, but if it ceased providing extended payment terms in select instances, the Company believes it would not be competitive for some customers in the marketplace and that its net sales and profits would likely decrease. The Company extends credit to its customers based upon a number of factors, including an evaluation of the customer's financial condition and credit history, the customer's payment history with the Company, the customer's reputation in the trade, and/or an evaluation of the Company's opportunity to introduce its moissanite jewels or finished jewelry featuring moissanite to new or expanded markets. Collateral is not generally required from customers. The need for an allowance for doubtful accounts is determined based upon factors surrounding the credit risk of specific customers, historical trends, and other information. The Company has not experienced any significant accounts receivable write-offs related to revenue arrangements with extended payment terms. As of June 30, 2012, one customer accounted for 22% of trade accounts receivable. As of December 31, 2011, three customers accounted for 29%, 12%, and 10% of trade accounts receivable, respectively. A significant portion of sales is derived from certain customer relationships. The following is a summary of customers that represent greater than or equal to 10% of total gross sales:

| BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES [Abstract] | |
| Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation | Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation - The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP") for interim financial information. However, certain information or footnote disclosures normally included in complete financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed, or omitted, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). In the opinion of the Company's management, the unaudited statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q include all normal and recurring adjustments necessary for the fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented. The results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2012. The consolidated financial statements as of and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are unaudited. The balance sheet as of December 31, 2011 is derived from the audited financial statements as of that date. The accompanying statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and related notes, together with Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, contained in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011 filed with the SEC on March 29, 2012 (the "2011 Annual Report"). The accompanying consolidated financial statements as of and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries Moissanite.com, LLC, formed in 2011; Charles & Colvard Direct, LLC, formed in 2011; and Charles & Colvard (HK) Ltd., the Company's Hong Kong subsidiary that became a dormant entity in the second quarter of 2009 and the operations of which ceased in 2008. All intercompany accounts have been eliminated. Significant Accounting Policies - In the opinion of the Company's management, the significant accounting policies used for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 are consistent with those used for the year ended December 31, 2011. Accordingly, please refer to the 2011 Annual Report for the Company's significant accounting policies. |
| Use of Estimates | Use of Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The most significant estimates impacting the Company's consolidated financial statements relate to valuation and classification of inventories, accounts receivable reserves, deferred tax assets, uncertain tax positions, stock compensation expense, and cooperative advertising. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. |
| Reclassifications | Reclassifications - Certain amounts in the prior year's consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. |
| Recently Adopted/Issued Accounting Pronouncements | Recently Adopted/Issued Accounting Pronouncements - All new and recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements have been deemed to be not relevant to the Company and therefore are not expected to have a material impact once adopted. |

| Future minimum payments under operating lease | In March 2004, the Company entered into a seven-year lease, beginning in August 2004, for approximately 16,500 square feet of mixed-use space from an unaffiliated third party at a base cost with escalations throughout the lease term plus additional common-area expenses based on the Company's proportionate share of the lessor's operating costs. The lease provided for two rent holidays, during which no rent was payable, and a moving allowance. In January 2011, the Company amended the lease effective January 1, 2011 to extend the term through January 2017 in exchange for a reduced rental rate and 50% rent abatement in the first 12 months of the extended term. The amended lease includes 3% annual rent escalations and a one-time option to terminate the lease effective as of July 31, 2014. The Company recognizes rent expense on a straight-line basis, giving consideration to the rent holidays, the moving allowance paid to the Company, and the rent abatement. At the Company's option, the amended lease can be extended for one five-year period. As of June 30, 2012, the Company's future minimum payments under this operating lease were as follows:
