The restructure actions will eliminate certain job positions and in some cases allow the company to have the flexibility to add other critical positions.&nbsp; The net effect of the restructure actions, offset in part by planned personnel additions, will be to reduce annual operating expenses by approximately $750,000 when fully implemented by the end of the second quarter of 2014.&nbsp; </FONT></P>
