Restructuring Costs

13.RESTRUCTURING COSTS

During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015, we realigned our regional sales offices that serve the United States and Canada.  As a result of this realignment, we closed our northeastern regional sales office located in Pennsylvania and created new geographic sales regions.  In connection with this restructuring, we incurred costs related to involuntary severance and office closure costs.  The restructuring charge taken during the fiscal year ended August 31, 2015 was comprised of the following (in thousands):

Description		Amount
Severance costs	$	570
Office closure costs		17
	$	587

The majority of these costs were paid prior to August 31, 2015 and the remaining restructuring liability totaled $0.1 million at August 31, 2015 and was included as a component of accrued liabilities in our consolidated balance sheets.  All of the remaining accrued severance at August 31, 2015 was paid during September 2015.  We expect to sign a subleasing agreement for the vacated office space during the first quarter of fiscal 2016 that will relieve any future liability for the leased space.
