Restructuring

11. Restructuring

As a result of the economic crisis, the Company implemented a restructuring in January 2009 to rationalize its cost structure in an uncertain economic environment. The restructuring included the elimination of approximately 50 permanent and temporary positions (a reduction of approximately 40% of the Company’s workforce) as well as an across the board 10% reduction in wages and a 15% reduction in the base fee paid to members of the Company’s Board of Directors. These reductions resulted in severance and payroll charges during the year ended December 31, 2009 of approximately $264,000. As of September 30, 2011, the remaining balance of these payments is expected to be made over the next nine months. Additionally, the Company expects to incur $100,000 in relocation expenses, which has not been accrued for, when it relocates its Ellicottville, New York operations to Texas during 2012. The restructuring and relocation is expected to result in approximately $240,000 in annual savings when completed. To implement the January 2009 restructuring plan, management anticipates incurring aggregate impairment charges and costs of $396,000 of which $296,000 have been previously incurred. Accrued restructuring expenses of $133,000 are included in “Other accrued expenses” in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet.
