NOTE N – CHARGES RELATED TO RESTRUCTURING ACTIVITIES

During the year ended December 2015, the Company reconfigured one of its operations within its Asia Pacific segment by reducing its workforce and manufacturing facilities while outsourcing production predominantly to its locations with lower cost operations. This was done in response to a slowdown in economic activity in the region as well as continued downward market pressure on prices. Additionally, the Company reduced the number of personnel and facilities in the PLP-USA segment in response to downward market pressure on prices. Both of these actions reduced infrastructure and manufacturing costs. There was $.1 million and $.5 million of expense recognized in the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, for these restructuring activities. The restructuring liability remaining at June 30, 2016 of $.6 million was recorded in Accrued expenses.

 

A summary by reporting segment of the accruals recorded as a result of the restructuring is as follows:
