Disclosure Changes To Accrued Loss On Excess Office Facilities [Abstract]

Loss on Exit and Related Charges

Note 11. Lease Exit and Related Charges

As a result of the reduction in use of RealNetworks' office space, primarily in our corporate headquarters in Seattle, Washington, and certain other locations, losses have been recognized representing rent and contractual operating expenses over the remaining life of the leases, and related write-downs of leasehold improvements to their estimated fair value.

In the quarter ended September 30, 2015, we recorded $2.1 million of losses relating to an approximate 43% reduction of office space at our leased corporate headquarters in Seattle, Washington. In 2013, we entered into this lease and early terminated the lease on our previous corporate headquarters, as described in more detail in our 2014 10-K.

We continue to regularly evaluate the market for office space. If the market for such space changes further in future periods, we may have to revise our estimates which may result in future adjustments to expense for excess office facilities.
