10. Restructuring Charges

 

In the quarter ended September 30, 2009, we initiated plans to restructure our European manufacturing and assembly operations to align them to current market conditions. The plans primarily involved the termination of employees and centralization of certain positions. Costs related to termination of employees represented severance payments and benefits.

 

The costs in connection with the restructuring plans in Europe have been included under “Restructuring charges” in our unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. The restructuring accrual as of September 30, 2013 was included under “Accrued expenses and other current liabilities” on our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets.

 

Restructuring activity as of and for the three and six months ended September 30, 2013 was as follows (in thousands):

 Severance and Related Benefits
Balance at March 31, 2013$ 69
Charges  -
Cash payments  -
Currency translation adjustment  1
Balance at June 30, 2013  70
Charges  -
Cash payments  -
Currency translation adjustment  3
Balance at September 30, 2013$ 73

We anticipate that the remaining restructuring obligations of $73,000 as of September 30, 2013 will be paid by December 31, 2013.
