3. RESTRUCTURING EXPENSE

 

During the fourth quarter of 2006, we began a facilities consolidation and restructuring program designed to reduce the overall expense structure in an effort to improve future operating performance. The facilities consolidation and restructuring program was substantially completed by the end of the second quarter of 2007.

 

Restructuring liabilities along with charges (credits) to expense and payments associated with the facilities consolidation and restructuring program are as follows (in thousands):

We reversed $39,000 of lease termination costs during the three months ended June 30, 2013 as a result of our exercising an early termination option available to us in one of our operating leases and a change in estimate of sublease income related to that same lease. We reversed $471,000 of lease termination costs during the six months ended June 30, 2013 primarily due to changes in our restructuring accrual as a result of our reoccupation of a portion of formerly restructured office space. Restructuring charges were zero and $98,000 during the three months and six months ended June 30, 2012, respectively, due to changes in the estimate of sublease income as a result of our entering into a revised agreement with a sub-lessee and ceasing the use of some of our office facilities.
