12 Months Ended

Dec. 31, 2012

3. RESTRUCTURING EXPENSE

During the fourth quarter of 2006, we began a facilities consolidation and restructuring program designed to reduce the overall expense structure in an effort to improve future operating performance. The facilities consolidation and restructuring program was substantially completed by the end of the second quarter of 2007.

Restructuring liabilities along with charges (credits) to expense and payments associated with the facilities consolidation and restructuring program are as follows (in thousands):

	Balance at Beginning of Year		Accretion Expense		Net Cash Payments			Adjustments		Balance at End of Year

Year ended December 31, 2012	$	1,491	$	143	$	(513	)	$	76	$	1,197
Year ended December 31, 2011	$	1,797	$	166	$	(472	)	$	—	$	1,491

We incurred $76,000 of restructuring charges during the year ended December 31, 2012 due to ceasing the use of some of our office facilities and changes in the estimate of sublease income as a result of our entering into a new sublease agreement and terminating another sublease agreement. There were no restructuring charges or reversals during the year ended December 31, 2011.
