On March 9, 2012, the Company completed its acquisition of 100% of the issued and outstanding capital stock of GigaCom Interconnect AB (“GigaCom Interconnect”) with a cash payment of £1.7 million (approximately $2.7 million).  GigaCom Interconnect, located in Gothenburg, Sweden, is a supplier of expanded beam fiber optic technology and a participant in the development of next-generation commercial aircraft components.   GigaCom Interconnect will become part of Bel's Cinch Connector business.  Management believes that GigaCom's offering of expanded beam fiber optic products, which are replacing traditional copper-based components due to their superior performance, reliability and lighter weight, will enhance Cinch's position within the growing aerospace and military markets.   All other disclosure requirements related to this acquisition are impracticable as of the filing date of this Form 10-K, given its proximity to the closing date.
