The closure of our St. Louis site was completed in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009.  The closure of our Finland site was completed in the third quarter of fiscal 2011. These closures resulted in charges primarily for employee termination and other exit related costs associated with a plan approved by management.
 
Restructuring charges for the first six months of fiscal 2011 were recorded in cost of sales, research and development and selling, general and administrative expenses in our condensed consolidated statements of operations.

The following table presents our current liability as accrued on our balance sheet for restructuring charges.  The table sets forth an analysis of the components of the restructuring charges and payments and other deductions made against the accrual for the first six months of fiscal 2012 and 2011 (in thousands):

We provide warranties on certain of our product sales and reserves for estimated warranty costs are recorded during the period of sale. The determination of such reserves requires us to make estimates of product return rates and expected costs to repair or replace the products under warranty. We currently establish warranty reserves based on historical warranty costs for each product line. The weighted average warranty period covered is approximately 15 months. If actual return rates and/or repair and replacement costs differ significantly from our estimates, adjustments to cost of sales may be required in future periods.
