Charges Related to Restructuring Activities

During the quarter ended September 30, 2012, as part of the company's ongoing globalization initiative to reduce complexity within its global footprint, the company incurred restructuring charges. The restructuring was also undertaken in response to the continued decline in reimbursement by the U.S. government as well as similar reimbursement pressures abroad and continued pricing pressures faced by the company. As a result, the company recorded restructuring charges of $3,722,000 in the first nine months of 2012. There have been no material changes in accrued balances related to the charge, either as a result of revisions in the plan or changes in estimates. The majority of the outstanding charge accruals at September 30, 2012 are expected to be paid out within the next twelve months.

A progression by reporting segment of the accruals recorded as a result of the restructuring is as follows (in thousands):
