NOTE 3

COMPANY TRANSFORMATION

During the first quarter of 2012 and 2011, we recognized pre-tax expenses of $12 and $85, respectively, in connection with activities taken to complete the Distribution and to create the revised organizational structure (referred to herein as Transformation costs). Transformation costs presented within income from discontinued operations are costs directly related to the Distribution that provide no future benefit to the Company. The components of Transformation costs incurred during first quarter of 2012 and 2011 are presented below.
