NOTE 15.  RESTRUCTURING

 

The Company initiated a restructuring plan during 2014 to realign resources within the organization and anticipates completing the plan in 2015.  Based on the Company’s restructuring plan, we determined that long-lived assets in certain asset groups required an impairment analysis.  As of the year ended December 31, 2014, the carrying values of our Asian manufacturing and Asian distribution operations as well as our sales, marketing, and distribution office in Japan were above their fair values.  We incurred $3,583 of restructuring charges during the year ended December 31, 2014.  During the year ended December 31, 2014, we incurred restructuring charges of $2,056 related to impairment of long-lived assets, $813 related to benefits provided to employees who were or will be terminated due to the Company’s reduction-in-force as part of its continued realignment of resources within the organization, and $714 other restructuring costs.  We estimate that we will incur restructuring costs related to employee-related costs and facility exit costs during the year 2015.

 

The following table summarizes the restructuring charges, payments and the remaining accrual related to employee termination costs:
