Item 8.01 Other Events

 

Data I/O took restructuring actions this week to reduce our excess office space and eliminate certain job positions.  The positions eliminated will allow the company to have the flexibility to add other critical positions or change fixed to variable costs through outsourcing.  The net effect of the space and personnel reductions, offset in part by the other planned additions, will be to reduce annual operating expenses by approximately $300,000 when fully implemented by the third quarter of 2013. 

 

The restructuring charges associated with these actions are expected to be approximately $195,000 for personnel severance related costs and to lease abandonment charges of approximately $330,000.  These restructuring charges will be incurred in the second quarter of 2013, however the $330,000 related to lease abandonments will continue to be paid over the term of the leases unless the applicable leases are renegotiated with the landlords or costs are partially offset by unanticipated subleases.

 

Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition

 

Data I/O expects to report revenues of $4.75 million for the first quarter of 2013, and will release the results for the first quarter of 2013 on April 29, 2013.
