2011 Restructuring

In November 2011, the Company announced a strategic initiative (“2011 restructuring”) which aims to consolidate operations to reduce our cost structure and improve operational efficiency. As part of this initiative, the Company expects to eliminate up to 12 facilities, through consolidation of certain manufacturing and sales and distribution facilities and divestiture of businesses. Three facilities have been eliminated as of December 31, 2011. The Company expects to complete the consolidation and divesture of up to nine additional facilities in 2012. As part of these site closures and consolidations, the Company incurred $1.0 million of accelerated depreciation related to changes in estimated useful lives of certain long-lived assets for which the Company intends to exit. The Company estimated the net realizable value of these assets based on comparable market values of similar properties, using Level 2 inputs from the fair value hierarchy discussed in Note 4. Costs incurred during 2011 totaled $1.8 million, $0.2 million and $0.2 million for the Laser Products, Semiconductor Systems, and Precision Motion and Technologies segments, respectively.

The Company expects to incur cash charges of $4.0 million to $5.0 million related to the 2011 restructuring plan, $1.2 million of which was recorded during 2011. Additionally, the Company expects to incur non-cash restructuring charges, related to accelerated depreciation of $3.0 million to $4.0 million, $1.0 million of which was recorded during 2011. The Company expects to substantially complete the restructuring program by the end of 2012.

U.K. Restructuring

In December 2008, the Company announced the transfer of certain manufacturing activities from its Rugby, U.K. facility within the Laser Products segment to the Company’s facilities in China. During 2009, the Company recorded $0.8 million in restructuring costs related to this restructuring plan. It was comprised of $0.7 million of employee severance costs and $0.1 million of manufacturing transition costs. During both 2010 and 2009, the Company recorded a $0.1 million restructuring benefit related to the sale of inventory that had been previously written off and included in 2008 restructuring charges for the sale of assets of a discontinued U.K. product line. All of the assets pertaining to this restructuring were sold as of December 31, 2010.

Germany Restructuring

As a result of restructuring programs undertaken in 2000 through 2004 and the subsequent sublease of the Company’s Munich, Germany facility within the Precision Motion and Technologies segment in May 2007 through the end of its lease term in January 2013, the Company has a $0.7 million accrual for the cost of this lease as of December 31, 2011. During 2009, the Company determined that it would no longer recover sublease payments from the existing subtenant. Accordingly, the previous estimate of future sublease payments was revised to record an additional restructuring charge of $1.3 million. Based on revised estimates of future sublease payments and interest accretion, the Company recorded charges of $0.1 million and $0.5 million in 2011 and 2010, respectively. As of December 31, 2011, the cumulative expense related to this restructuring plan is $4.7 million.

During 2009, the Company initiated certain restructuring activities to consolidate its German sales and distribution operations. These consolidation activities were completed in 2009, at a total cost of $0.2 million, which was comprised entirely of facility related charges including a lease termination fee, required remaining lease payments and moving costs.
