3. Plant shutdowns, asset impairments, restructurings and other charges are shown in the net sales and operating profit by segment table in Note 10, and unless otherwise noted below, are also included in "Asset impairments and costs associated with exit and disposal activities" in the consolidated statements of income.

Plant shutdowns, asset impairments, restructurings and other charges in the first quarter of 2012 include:

Net pretax charge of $0.9 million associated with the shutdown of the aluminum extrusions manufacturing facility in Kentland, Indiana, which includes accelerated depreciation for property, plant and equipment of $0.7 million (included in "Cost of goods sold" in the consolidated statements of income), severance and other employee related expenses of $0.6 million and other shutdown-related charges of $83,000, partially offset by adjustments to inventories accounted for under the last-in, first-out ("LIFO") method of $0.5 million (included in "Cost of goods sold" in the consolidated statements of income);
Pretax charges of $0.3 million for integration-related expenses and other non-recurring transactions (included in "Selling, general and administrative expenses" in the consolidated statements of income) associated with the acquisition of Terphane by Film Products; and
Pretax charges of $0.2 million for severance and other employee-related costs in connection with restructurings in Aluminum Extrusions.

Plant shutdowns, asset impairments, restructurings and other charges in the first quarter of 2011 include:

Pretax losses of $32,000 for timing differences between the recognition of realized losses on aluminum futures contracts and related revenues from the delayed fulfillment by customers of fixed-price forward purchase commitments (included in "Cost of goods sold" in the consolidated statements of income, see Note 6 for additional detail).

Results in the first quarter of 2012 include an unrealized gain from the write-up of an investment accounted for under the fair value method of $3.6 million ($2.3 million after taxes). An unrealized loss on our investment in Harbinger Capital Partners Special Situations Fund, L.P. ("Harbinger Fund") of $1.1 million ($0.7 million after tax) was recorded in the first quarter of 2012 as a result of a reduction in the fair value of our investment that is not expected to be temporary. See Note 7 for additional information on investments.

On February 12, 2008, we sold our aluminum extrusions business in Canada for approximately $25.0 million to an affiliate of H.I.G. Capital. All historical results for this business have been reflected as discontinued operations; however, cash flows for discontinued operations have not been separately disclosed in the consolidated statements of cash flows. In the first quarter

of 2012, an accrual of $4.8 million ($4.8 million net of tax) was made for indemnifications under the purchase agreement related to environmental matters. Accruals of $4.4 million ($4.4 million after tax) were made in 2011 (none in the first quarter of 2011) for indemnifications under the purchase agreement related to environmental matters.

A reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances of accrued expenses associated with asset impairments and exit and disposal activities for the three months ended March 31, 2012 is as follows:
