In the fourth fiscal quarter of 2015, we reclassified certain costs as operating expenses that were previously recorded as reductions to revenue. The reclassification was necessary to correct an error in the accounting treatment of these costs and is deemed immaterial to the previously issued consolidated financial statements.

Results of operations for the September quarter of 2014 include non-cash impairment charges of $2,644,000.
