Asset retirement obligations relate to legal obligations associated with the removal of all leasehold improvements at the end of the lease term. The Company records all asset retirement obligations, which primarily relate to “make-good” clauses in operating leases, for its leased property containing leasehold improvements. The liability, reported within other long-term liabilities, is accreted through charges to operating expenses. If the asset retirement obligation is settled for an amount other than the carrying amount of the liability, the Company recognizes a gain or loss on settlement. Accretion expense was $6 for both the nine month periods ended September 30, 2015 and 2014. As of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Company’s asset retirement obligations included in other long-term liabilities were $621 and $911, respectively.
