RESTRUCTURING
9. RESTRUCTURING

 

In March 2012, we announced a plan to restructure our bioanalytical laboratory operations. We are consolidating our laboratory in McMinnville, Oregon into our 117,000 square foot headquarters facility in West Lafayette, Indiana. This plan is being initiated to dramatically reduce operating costs and strengthen our ability to meet clients’ needs by improving laboratory utilization. We expect to incur approximately $545 in total expenses related to this consolidation. Of this amount, one-time employee termination benefits will amount to $287. Other expenses expected to be incurred in connection with the restructuring include lease payments, temporary housing and relocation, travel, and moving of laboratory equipment. For the second fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2012, we have incurred $64 in restructuring costs as outlined in the table below. The remaining charges will predominantly be recorded in the third fiscal quarter ending June 30, 2012.

At the same time as the announcement regarding the Oregon laboratory consolidation, we included plans to evaluate the financial performance of our bioanalytical laboratory in Warwickshire, UK. These action plans are still being evaluated as of March 31, 2012.
