Restructuring
 
During the second half of fiscal 2015, the Company’s management approved, committed to and initiated plans to restructure and further improve efficiencies by implementing cost reductions in line with the decreases in revenue. The Company renegotiated three office leases and relocated to smaller space, while also negotiating sub-leases for the original space. In addition, the Company executed a general work-force reduction and recognized costs for severance and termination benefits. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015, the Company recorded a restructuring liability of $307 for the future contractual rental commitments for vacated office space and related costs, offset by estimated sub-lease income. In total, for the three months ended September 30, 2015, a charge of $496 was recorded to restructuring expenses in the consolidated statement of operations for the total lease expenses less sub-lease rental income, other miscellaneous lease termination costs, loss on disposal of fixed assets, and costs for severance and termination benefits. In the three months ended December 31, 2015, the Company recorded an additional liability of $506 related to severance and termination benefits, and a total of $586 was charged to restructuring expenses in the first quarter of fiscal 2016.
 
These restructuring charges and accruals require estimates and assumptions, including contractual rental commitments or lease buy-outs for vacated office space and related costs, and estimated sub-lease income. The Company’s sub-lease assumptions include the rates to be charged to a sub-tenant and the timing of the sub-lease arrangement. All of the vacated lease space is currently contractually occupied by a new sub-tenant for the remaining life of the lease. These estimates and assumptions will be monitored on a quarterly basis for changes in circumstances with the corresponding adjustments reflected in the consolidated statement of operations.
