RESTRUCTURING [Abstract] |
RESTRUCTURING | 14. RESTRUCTURING In March 2012, we announced a plan to restructure our bioanalytical laboratory operations. We consolidated our laboratory in McMinnville, Oregon into our 120,000 square foot headquarters facility in West Lafayette, Indiana. This plan was implemented to reduce operating costs and strengthen our ability to meet clients' needs by improving laboratory utilization. In the fourth fiscal quarter of 2012, we decided to initiate closure of our facility and bioanalytical laboratory in Warwickshire, United Kingdom after careful evaluation of its financial performance and analysis of our strategic alternatives. We will continue to sell our products globally while further consolidating delivery of our CRO services into our Indiana locations. As part of the overall evaluation of our business, personnel reductions in the Selling, R&D and General and Administrative functions were also implemented at both of our Indiana locations during the second half of fiscal 2012. In total, 74 employees were terminated as part of the restructuring activities this fiscal year. The following table sets forth the costs incurred in connection with these restructuring activities during the year ended September 30, 2012.

We have reserved for lease payments at the cease use date and have considered free rent, sublease rentals and the number of days it would take to restore the space to its original condition prior to our improvements. Based on this, we have reserved $861 for lease related costs. Restructuring related costs incurred during fiscal 2012 totaled $1,360 in our Services segment, $0 in our Products segment and $1,835 in corporate expenses. The following table sets forth the rollforward of the restructuring activity for the year ended September 30, 2012.
