Acquisition, Reorganization And Non-Recurring Costs

4.    Acquisition, Reorganization and Non-recurring Costs

Acquisition and reorganization costs during fiscal 2013, 2012 and 2011 were $1,392, $4,299 and  $1,489, respectively. Such expenses were primarily for professional fees with accounting, financial, legal and tax advisors to support the due diligence, transaction structure and accounting for acquisitions, as well as costs in the pursuit of acquisitions that may not be consummated.  In fiscal 2012, such expenses primarily supported the acquisition of IZI. In fiscal 2011, such expenses were related to the establishment of a radiation measurement unconsolidated joint venture in Turkey and the acquisition of three medical physics practices. Acquisition costs were expensed as incurred.

In addition, the fiscal 2013 and 2012 charges included in reorganization costs for severance to support changes in selected management roles throughout the organization, including LMP and IZI, were $647 and $760, respectively.  In fiscal 2013 the Company made severance payments of $537.   Remaining payments of $136 are expected to be paid in fiscal 2014.

During fiscal 2013 the Company recorded a $394 reserve for escheatment liability.  Adjustments may be made in the future as information becomes available.
