The Company has evaluated its manufacturing operations, inventory, and facility utilization and implemented a restructuring plan to reduce costs in an effort to return to consistent profitability.  The Company streamlined its product offerings by recognizing inventory reserves on the ten to fifteen year TLS and RLS product lines that were experiencing declining revenue, competitive pricing pressures, and high manufacturing costs with older generation technology, preventing it from competing effectively.  By removing these product lines, the Company shifted its focus on the new technologically competitive rack mount and enterprise level product lines.  A full inventory reserve of approximately $900,000 was taken in fiscal 2012 on the older generation TLS and RLS product lines including finished goods, raw materials, drives and work in process.
