Restructuring Costs

NOTE 6 – RESTRUCTURING COSTS

During the second quarter of fiscal 2016, we restructured the operations of our Australian direct office.  The restructuring is designed to reduce ongoing operating costs by closing the sales offices in Brisbane, Sydney, and Melbourne, and by reducing headcount for administrative and certain sales support functions.  Our remaining sales and support personnel in Australia will work from home offices, similar to many of our sales personnel located in the U.S. and Canada.  The $0.4 million charge recorded during the second quarter of fiscal 2016 was primarily for office closure costs, including remaining lease expense on the offices that were closed, and for employee severance costs.  The severance costs included the restructuring charge totaled less than $40,000.  Remaining accrued restructuring costs totaled $0.3million at May 28, 2016 and were included as a component of accrued liabilities in our condensed consolidated balance sheet.
