ACQUISITION INTEGRATION INITIATIVES

During the first quarter of 2013, the company made decisions and took action to improve certain of the operations of Viking, purchased on December 31, 2012. These initiatives included organizational restructuring and headcount reductions, consolidation and disposition of certain facilities and business operations, and discontinuation of certain products. These initiatives were substantially completed by the end of 2013. The company recorded expense in the amount of $9.1 million included within general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of earnings for 2013 for these initiatives. The costs and corresponding reserve balances are summarized as follows (in thousands):
