NOTE 6. - RESTRUCTURING CHARGE


On October 19, 2012, the Company committed to a plan intended to improve the balance between the Company’s telecommunications product expenses with the reduced revenue levels of this product line. Under the 2012 restructuring plan, the Company reduced its workforce by 10 regular full-time positions. As a result of the 2012 restructuring plan, the Company recorded a restructuring charge of $253,000, classified as an operating expense, in the fourth quarter of 2012 related to future cash expenditures to cover employee severance and benefits. During the three months ended March 31, 2013, the Company reduced its restructuring charge by $67,000 related to reduced future cash expenditures related to severance and benefits for a former employee. The former employee’s accepting other employment in April 2013 reduced the amount of severance and benefit payouts by the Company. The following table summarizes the timing of payments under the restructuring plan (in thousands):
