NOTE 16    RESTRUCTURING COSTS

In September 2015, the Company restructured certain of its operations in response to the current oil and gas commodity environment.  These changes, which included a reduction in workforce, are expected to result in better utilization of the Company's resources and improved cost efficiencies.  The Company expects substantially all one-time restructuring related costs to be incurred by March 31, 2016 and does not expect these costs to materially affect its cash flows or results of operations.
