During 2008, we announced a plan to restructure certain of our operations. During 2010, 2011 and 2012, we continued our operational restructuring plan which includes the transfer of additional production lines from manufacturing facilities located in the United States to our manufacturing facility in Chihuahua, Mexico. During the second quarter of 2012, we began the consolidation of our Finland operations into our Largo, Florida and Utica, New York manufacturing facilities.   For the years ending December 31, 2010, 2011 and 2012, we charged $2.4 million, $3.5 million, and $7.1 million, respectively, to cost of goods sold within our CONMED Linvatec operating segment. These costs include severance and other charges associated with the transfer of production to Mexico and consolidation of our Finland operations. We have recorded an accrual in current liabilities of $3.6 million at December 31, 2012 mainly related to severance and lease impairment costs associated with the restructuring.  We expect this phase of our plan and related cash payments to be substantially completed in 2013.
  
As part of our ongoing restructuring, the Company discontinued certain product offerings within our CONMED Linvatec portfolio.  These product offerings include the service arms and service managers associated with our integrated operating room systems and equipment line.  During 2010, we incurred $2.5 million in costs associated with this termination of a product offering which were charged to cost of goods sold.

Restructuring costs included in other expense are described more fully in Note 11.
