Restructuring Charges

Pursuant to the August 29, 2014 IQinVision merger, the Company initiated certain integration and restructuring activities pursuant to an approved plan (the "Plan"). For the nine month period ended June 30, 2015, the Company recognized $573,000 of severance charges in connection with the Plan pursuant to notification of termination benefits to fourteen affected employees.

Accounting for restructuring activities, as compared to regular operating cost management activities, requires an evaluation of formally committed and approved plans. Restructuring activities have comparatively greater strategic significance and materiality and may involve exit activities, whereas regular cost containment activities are more tactical in nature and are rarely characterized by formal and integrated action plans or exiting a particular product, facility or service.
