NOTE 7 – PURCHASED IN-PROCESS RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT (IPR&D) AND SPECIAL CHARGES

IPR&D Charges

During the second quarter of 2011, the Company recorded IPR&D charges of $4.4 million in conjunction with the purchase of intellectual property in its CRM segment since the related technological feasibility had not yet been reached and such technology had no future alternative use.

Special Charges

The Company incurred special charges totaling $43.2 million primarily related to restructuring actions initiated during the second quarter of 2011 to realign certain activities in the Company's CRM business. A key component of these restructuring activities related to the Company's decision to transition CRM manufacturing out of Sweden to more cost-advantaged locations. As part of these actions, the Company recorded $21.5 million related to severance and benefit costs for approximately 335 employees. These costs were recognized after management determined that such severance and benefits were probable and estimable, in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 712, Nonretirement Postemployment Benefits. The Company also recorded a $12.0 million impairment charge to write-down its CRM manufacturing facility in Sweden to its fair value. The impairment charge was recognized in accordance with ASC Topic 360, Property, Plant and Equipment after it was determined that its remaining undiscounted future cash flows did not exceed its carrying value. The Company also recorded charges of $9.7 million associated with contract terminations, inventory obsolescence charges and other costs.

As part of the Company's decision to transition CRM manufacturing out of Sweden, the Company expects to incur additional costs of approximately $60 - $80 million over the next several quarters related to additional employee termination costs, accelerated depreciation and other restructuring related costs. The Company expects to fully transition its manufacturing operations out of Sweden by the end of fiscal year 2012.
