RESTRUCTURING CHARGES

9 Months Ended

Sep. 30, 2012

12. RESTRUCTURING CHARGES

In November 2011, we announced a workforce cost reduction program across all of our business segments as a first step in a broader overall profit improvement initiative. These actions were the result of a review of our cost structure aimed at identifying ways to reduce our ongoing operating costs and to adjust the size of our workforce to be consistent with current and expected activity levels. A significant portion of the workforce cost reduction program was completed in 2011, with the remainder expected to be completed in 2012.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, we incurred $5.8 million of restructuring charges primarily related to termination benefits and consulting services. These charges are reflected as Restructuring charges in our condensed consolidated statements of operations. We currently estimate that we will incur additional charges with respect to the profit improvement initiative of approximately $0.5 million. We expect all of the estimated additional charges will result in cash expenditures.

The following table summarizes the changes to our accrued liability balance related to restructuring charges for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 (in thousands):

	Restructuring Charges Accrual
Beginning balance at December 31, 2011	$	1,776
Additions for costs expensed	5,828
