RESTRUCTURING CHARGES

NOTE 8: RESTRUCTURING CHARGES

In the first quarter of fiscal 2015, restructuring charges were primarily the result of further consolidating a facility previously used by our manufacturing and service operations. The restructuring charges in the first quarter of fiscal 2014 were largely due to strategic management decisions to outsource our manufacturing operations and further consolidate production and service activities. The types of restructuring expense for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and June 30, 2013 were (in thousands):

      Three Months Ended
            June 30, 2014         June 30, 2013
        Severance and benefits   $ 125   $ 2,483
  Facilities     727     76
  Other     13     -
  Total   $        865   $        2,559

The severance and benefits restructuring costs for the three months ended June 30, 2014 was primarily due to right-sizing our sales workforce with our operating plans, and the facilities restructuring costs were primarily the result of further consolidating production and service locations. We anticipate $0.4 million of severance and benefits and the other restructuring accrual will be paid by the end of fiscal 2015 and the remaining $0.1 million of severance and benefits will be paid by the end of fiscal 2016. Facility restructuring accruals will be paid in accordance with the respective facility lease terms.
