Restructuring

Note 10 - Restructuring

In 2009, we initiated restructuring plans to better align our cost structure with lower sales activity associated with the global recession. The restructuring actions taken are largely complete and have resulted in workforce reductions, primarily in the U.S., the Philippines and Europe.

Restructuring expense by segment is as follows:

		0000000000			0000000000		0000000000
	2011			2010		2009
Aircraft Controls	$	(182	)	$	2,423	$	4,940
Space and Defense Controls		38			1,106		59
Industrial Systems		518			717		9,695
Components		38			512		84
Medical Devices		339			367		289
Total	$	751		$	5,125	$	15,067

Included above is $339 of expense initiated in the third quarter of 2011 associated with a restructuring of our Medical Devices segment in the U.S.

Restructuring activity is as follows:

		0000000000			0000000000
	2011			2010
Balance at beginning of period	$	3,389		$	14,332
Charged to expense		751			5,125
Cash payments		(3,860	)		(14,855	)
Reserves for acquired businesses		-			(791	)
Foreign currency translation		3			(422	)
Balance at end of period	$	283		$	3,389

Included above are $326 of cash payments and an ending accrual of $13 for the 2011 Medical Devices restructuring plan.
