Note 15. Restructuring and Impairment

 

During the third quarter of 2010, we implemented a restructuring plan to close our offices in Bangalore, India and The Woodlands, Texas, and consolidate the activities of these two locations with our Mountain View, California and Nashville, Tennessee operations in an effort to increase the efficiency of operations and promote collaboration among our engineering teams.  We substantially completed this consolidation by September 30, 2010.

 

The $1.2 million of third quarter 2010 restructuring/impairment charges were recorded primarily in operating expenses, consisting of $0.3 million in severance for departing employees, $0.5 million relocation benefits for transferring employees, $0.2 million of exit and disposal costs related to the closed facilities, and $0.2 million for impairment of leasehold improvements and certain service tax reimbursement claims. The majority of the $0.2 million remaining restructuring accrued liabilities at December 31, 2010 were paid by September 30, 2011, except for the final legal/administrative exit costs for the India operation.
