RESTRUCTURING EXPENSE

3 Months Ended

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		Accretion		Net Cash						Balance at
	12/31/2012		Expense		Payments			Adjustments			3/31/2013
Lease and contract termination costs	$	1,197	$	29	$	(111	)	$	(432	)	$	683

We reversed $432,000 of lease termination costs during the three months ended March 31, 2013 due to changes in our restructuring accrual as a result of our reoccupation of a portion of formerly restructured office space. We incurred $98,000 of lease termination costs liability during the three months ended March 31, 2012 due to changes in the estimate of sublease income as a result of our entering into a revised agreement with a sub lessee and ceasing the use of one of our office facilities.
