Restructuring
 
In the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2009, the Company committed to the implementation of a restructuring plan pursuant to which it closed its research and development facility in Pune, India and is winding down the affairs of its subsidiary, Versant India Private Limited (“Versant India”). The restructuring plan was undertaken to consolidate the Company’s research and development efforts into one location in Germany in order to streamline operations, create management efficiencies and increase productivity. Since the plan was undertaken, Versant has incurred restructuring costs of $203,000 as of July 31, 2011. The restructuring was substantially completed during the second quarter ended April 30, 2010.
