Restructuring

The following summarizes our restructuring plans announced in prior fiscal years. We recognize restructuring expenses as incurred. In addition, we assess the property, plant and equipment associated with the related facilities for impairment. Additional information regarding our restructuring plans is included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2011, filed with the SEC on May 27, 2011.

Fiscal 2010 Restructuring Plan

During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2010 we adopted a restructuring plan primarily related to the transfer of the remaining operations in our Erie, Pennsylvania facility to the U.S. headquarters in Mentor, Ohio and the consolidation of our European Healthcare manufacturing operations into two central locations within Europe (the “Fiscal 2010 Restructuring Plan”). In addition, we rationalized certain products and eliminated certain positions.

Since the inception of the Fiscal 2010 Restructuring Plan, we have incurred pre-tax expenses totaling $9,541 related to these actions, of which $8,512 was recorded as restructuring expenses and $1,029 was recorded in cost of revenues. We also expect to incur an additional $1,100 by the end of fiscal 2012. These actions are intended to enhance profitability and improve efficiencies.

Production has ceased in our Switzerland manufacturing facility. We recognized an impairment loss with regard to this facility based on the value of an offer to purchase that was received during the fiscal 2012 third quarter. The following tables summarize our total pre-tax restructuring expenses for the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2012 and fiscal 2011:
