There were no restructuring plans or activities in the three months ended December 29, 2012. There were no new restructuring charges during fiscal 2012. The closure of our Finland site was completed in the third quarter of fiscal 2011, with the last payments and other reductions completed during fiscal 2012.

We provide warranties on certain of our product sales and reserves for estimated warranty costs are recorded during the period of sale. The determination of such reserves requires us to make estimates of product return rates and expected costs to repair or replace the products under warranty. We currently establish warranty reserves based on historical warranty costs for each product line. The weighted average warranty period covered is approximately 15 months. If actual return rates and/or repair and replacement costs differ significantly from our estimates, adjustments to cost of sales may be required in future periods.
 
Components of the reserve for warranty costs during the first three months of fiscal 2013 and 2012 were as follows (in thousands):
