Restructuring Costs

During 2015 management evaluated several initiatives to improve the overall operating efficiency of the organization. As a result of this evaluation we launched an initiative to reduce our cost structure by implementing various staff reduction actions during the third quarter of 2015.

In addition, during the fourth quarter of 2015, the Company experienced a management transition of certain high-level positions, most notably the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer.

The following table summarizes the fiscal year 2017 activities related to these restructuring initiatives for severance and benefits:
