RESTRUCTURING
13. RESTRUCTURING
 
In March 2012, we announced a plan to restructure our bioanalytical laboratory operations. We consolidated our laboratory in McMinnville, Oregon into our 120,000 square foot headquarters facility in West Lafayette, Indiana and closed our facility and bioanalytical laboratory in Warwickshire, United Kingdom. We continue to sell our products globally while further consolidating delivery of our CRO services into our Indiana locations.
 
We reserved for lease payments at the cease use date for our UK facility and have considered free rent, sublease rentals and the number of days it would take to restore the space to its original condition prior to our improvements. In the first quarter of fiscal 2013, we began amortizing into general and administrative expense, equally through the cease use date, the estimated rent income of $200 when the reserve was originally established. We have been unsuccessful at subleasing the facility. Based on these matters, we have a $1,000 reserve for UK lease related costs at September 30, 2016 and 2015. We do not expect to accrue additional amounts past fiscal 2016. We have previously communicated with the landlord regarding the nature and timing of rent under the lease. The full restructuring reserve is classified as a current liability on the Consolidated Balance Sheets because the full amount is due and payable. The UK building lease expires in 2023 but includes an opt out provision after 7 years, which occurred in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015 and was exercised.
 
Other costs of $117 have been accrued for legal and professional fees and other costs estimated to be incurred in connection with transitioning services from sites being closed as well as costs incurred to remove improvements previously made to the UK facility. In fiscal 2015, all related investments in the UK operations were written off.
