Restructuring Costs

In the third quarter of 2013, the Company adopted the 2013 Plan to better align the Company’s cost structure with the skills and resources required to more effectively execute the Company’s long-term growth strategy and to support revenue levels the Company expected to achieve on a go forward basis.  In connection with the 2013 Plan, the Company eliminated over 100 positions worldwide, implemented tighter expense controls, ceased non-core activities and closed or downsized several facilities. The 2013 Plan was substantially completed by December 31, 2014; however, we expect the majority of the severance related costs to be paid once final settlement litigation is completed, which can be at various times over the next three to twenty-four months. The following table summarizes the activity during 2017 related to restructuring liabilities recorded in connection with the 2013 Plan:

	Severance related costs
Balance at December 31, 2016	$	846,337
Provisions/Additions	(236,302		)
Utilized/Paid	—
Balance at March 31, 2017	$	610,035
Provisions/Additions	—
Utilized/Paid	(38,341		)
Balance at June 30, 2017	$	571,694

The severance related liabilities are included within “accrued expenses” in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. The expenses under the 2013 Plan are included within “restructuring costs” in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations.
