10. Subsequent Event

On October 10, 2013, we effected a restructuring that included a workforce reduction and the closure of our offices in Beijing, China and Munich, Germany. The restructuring was approved by our Board of Directors on October 9, 2013. The workforce reduction impacted approximately 50 headcount worldwide, including full-time employees and consultants, which represented approximately 20% of the Company’s headcount pre-reduction.

We currently anticipate incurring pre-tax restructuring charges of approximately $625,000 in the fourth quarter of 2013, with $500,000 representing one-time employee termination benefits and $125,000 representing facilities-related costs, primarily remaining lease obligations in China and Germany. Our current estimate of cash outlays related to the one-time employee termination benefits, vacation and other obligations is $850,000, the vast majority of which will occur in the fourth quarter of 2013. Additionally, we expect to recognize a $50,000 asset impairment charge in the fourth quarter of 2013 related to China and Germany.

We expect the staff reductions and office closures will be substantially completed by the end of the fourth quarter of 2013 with some activities, including legal entity closures, continuing into 2014.
