Severance, Asset Impairment And Other Associated Costs

8. Severance, Asset Impairment and Other Associated Costs

On September 21, 2011, we announced our plan to exit the international portion of our ScanTech business which is headquartered outside Stockholm, Sweden and markets and distributes a line of Volvo and Saab replacement parts throughout the world. ScanTech's international business will be liquidated and the exit process is expected to be substantially complete by the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2012. Included in costs of goods sold are $0.8 million of reductions of previously recognized inventory reserves resulting from the sale of inventory during the thirteen weeks ended March 31, 2012.
