Product assembly previously done in the Company’s Italy and Germany facilities is now done in its Slovakia plant. As a result of this, the Company had termination costs to certain manufacturing and operations employees from the Italy facility. The product assembly transition from the Company’s Italy plant to the Slovakia plant was completed in March 2011. The Italy facility continues to support sales in Europe.

As of September 30, 2011, $0.4 million is accrued for these exit costs. |
