Note 8— Commitments, Contingencies and Other Matters

Restructuring and Other Charges

During the first quarter of 2014, we announced the consolidation of our Ft. Collins, Colorado facility into our Plainview, New York facility and took additional measures to improve profitability in a challenging business environment. We expect to substantially complete the consolidation by the end of 2014. As a result of these actions we notified 49 employees of their termination from the Company. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, we recorded restructuring charges relating to these actions of $0.7 million and $1.9 million, consisting of personnel severance and related costs. We expect to incur approximately $0.2 million and $0.1 million of additional personnel severance and related costs in our Data Storage segment in the fourth quarter of 2014 and 2015, respectively, and a lease charge of approximately $0.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2014, related to these actions. The reductions in headcount principally related to our Data Storage and MBE businesses.

During the three months ended September 30, 2014 the Company undertook additional restructuring activities, including the consolidation of our Camarillo, CA facility into our Plainview, New York facility and additional headcount reductions to help contain costs and further improve profitability. We expect to substantially complete the consolidation by the end of 2014. As a result of these actions we notified 44 additional employees of their termination from the Company. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, we recorded restructuring charges relating to these actions of $1.6 million, consisting of personnel severance and related costs. We expect to incur approximately $2.1 million of additional personnel severance and related costs and a lease charge of approximately $0.2 million, all of which are expected to be incurred in the fourth quarter of 2014. The reductions in head count principally related to our Data Storage businesses.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, we took measures to improve profitability, including the restructuring of one of our international sales offices and consolidation of certain sales, business and administrative functions. As a result of these actions, we recorded restructuring charges of $1.2 million and $1.8 million, respectively.

Cumulative Translation Adjustment

During the second quarter of 2014, the Company began executing a plan to liquidate our foreign subsidiary in Japan. Subsequent to third quarter end, in October 2014, the liquidation was completed. As a result of this liquidation we expect to realize into income the balance of the CTA at the time of liquidation. The balance in the CTA account as of September 30, 2014 was approximately $3.3 million. Upon liquidation during the three months ended December 31, 2014, we expect to record a gain of approximately $3.1 million, inclusive of the gain from the CTA.

Legal Proceedings

We are involved in various legal proceedings arising in the normal course of our business. We do not believe that the ultimate resolution of these matters will have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
