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"). The Company recognized $572,913 of severance charges in fiscal 2015 in connection with the Plan pursuant to notification of termination benefits.

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.

Such restructuring amounts were reported in the Company's consolidated statement of operations for fiscal 2015 as follows:

	2015
Cost of goods sold	—
Operating expense	572,913
Total restructuring charges	$	572,913
