Restructuring and Other Charges
10.  Restructuring and Other Charges

      In fiscal 2010 and 2011, the Company recorded charges related to a restructuring and profitability enhancement plan. This plan was implemented to effectuate certain key initiatives and was an integral component of the Second Amendment and Waiver to the Credit Agreement among the Company, Fifth Third Bank, as Lender, L/C Issuer and Administrative Agent for Lenders and other Lenders dated March 31, 2010 (the "Second Amendment"). These actions were taken to comply with the provisions and targeted covenants of the Second Amendment and to address the impact of the global economic crisis on the Company. The Company may incur additional costs in future periods to address the ongoing and fluid nature of the economic crisis, and may incur costs pursuant to certain initiatives being reviewed in accordance with the provisions of the Restated Credit Agreement. The amount of future charges not discussed herein is currently not estimable by the Company. The costs in 2012 related to the Consolidation of the Company's commercial printing production operation in Cincinnati, Ohio into existing Company facilities in other locations.
    
   The plan was implemented to address several key initiatives, including streamlining production and administrative operations and headcount reductions. The aggregate pre-tax charge resulting from these actions was $2.4 million. The charges were comprised of $1.6 million associated with excess facility and maintenance costs, primarily related to operating leases, inventory related costs of $200,000 and costs associated with streamlining production and personnel related separation costs of $613,000. The costs associated with the restructuring and profitability enhancement plan are primarily recorded in the restructuring charges line item as part of operating income. Inventory is recorded as a component of cost of sales.

      The following information summarizes the costs incurred with respect to restructuring, integration and asset impairment charges during the three and twelve months ended October 31, 2012 and 2011, as well as the cumulative total of such costs representing fiscal 2010, fiscal 2011, and fiscal 2012, such costs are included as a component of the printing segment:

            Effective June 1, 2012 as a result of initiatives implemented by the Company to improve operating efficiency and pursuant to the Company's restructuring plan submitted to the secured lenders in the second quarter of 2012, the Company's commercial printing production operation in Cincinnati, Ohio, was consolidated into existing Company facilities in other locations. The Company intends to continue to service its customer base through a dedicated sales team within this market and supported by personnel at our Chapman Printing locations in Lexington, Kentucky and Parkersburg and Huntington, West Virginia. As a result of this action, the Company recorded a reduction in force of 24 employees. The Company expects to incur costs associated with work force reductions, lease termination costs and other related costs in future periods beyond the fourth quarter of 2012. The Company recorded severance and other employee related costs of approximately $48,000 in 2012 and has incurred incremental charges for severance and other costs in the first quarter of 2013 of $53,000, associated primarily with the sale of substantially all of the property, plant and equipment of the Donihe Graphics subsidiary in Kingsport, Tennessee in the first quarter of 2013. The amount of any remaining restructuring related charges are currently not estimable by the Company. The Company also recorded asset impairment charges of $0.6 million, representing assets classified as held for sale at October 31, 2012. (See Note 12).

            The remaining restructuring accrual at October 31, 2012 is primarily reflected on the Company's Financial Statements as a component of debt due to two payments of $135,000 due November 30, 2012 and $99,456 due February 28, 2013 being evidenced as part of a contractual settlement in the form of a promissory note with the Lessor at the Company's former location in Bridgeville, Pennsylvania.
