NOTE 12. Manufacturing Realignment

In May 2010, the Company announced that it was realigning its manufacturing with the intent to consolidate operations into its existing operations in Roseau, Minnesota and Spirit Lake, Iowa as well as establish a new facility in Monterrey, Mexico. As part of the realignment, the Company sold a portion of the Osceola, Wisconsin facility and outsourced certain components previously manufactured by Polaris at Osceola. The Company has since been recording transition charges, including both exit costs and startup costs, and completed the realignment in the second quarter of 2012. The cumulative exit costs pertaining to the manufacturing realignment totaled $6,937,000. The exit costs are classified within Cost of sales in the consolidated statements of income.
