Research and Development Expenses
Research and development, or R&D, expenses include costs associated with the development of new products and the
enhancement of existing products, and consist primarily of employee salaries and benefits; facilities costs; depreciation; costs for
consulting and temporary employees; and prototype and other development expenses. R&D expenses decreased $4.9 million, or
5.1%, during the year ended December 31, 2014, compared to 2013, primarily due to decreased salary expenses on lower
employee headcount.
