Restructuring:

During 2011, the Company's Board of Directors adopted a restructuring plan to more efficiently implement the Company's product development strategy and to better align the Company's corporate strategy with the Company's sales resources (the “2011 restructuring plan”). In connection with the 2011 restructuring plan, the Company will reduce and refocus its headcount at certain of its research and development facilities, including Pennsylvania and Shanghai, China, and streamline its supply chain activities at its headquarters for reduced operational costs, improved predictability and flexibility. Part of the 2011 restructuring plan includes extending silicon development capabilities, planning and logistics activities by locating personnel in Manila, Philippines. The 2011 restructuring plan will be substantially implemented during 2011, with a total projected restructuring charge of approximately $7.6 million through the first quarter of fiscal 2012, of which $5.8 million was recorded in the first nine months of fiscal 2011.

During fiscal 2009, we initiated a restructuring plan ("2009 restructuring plan") to lower operating expenses primarily by reducing headcount, reducing occupancy in certain leased facilities and to transfer inventory management, order fulfillment, and direct sales logistics from our headquarters in Oregon to a third party contractor in Singapore. In addition, the Company established an operations center in Singapore to transfer some of its supply chain activities from the Company’s headquarters in Oregon. As part of the 2011 restructuring plan, we updated our estimate of the remaining severance and lease loss reserve for the 2009 restructuring plan. This resulted in a credit to Restructuring charges in the first quarter of fiscal 2011 of $0.8 million, primarily for re-occupying certain leased facilities.

At October 1, 2011, our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet included an accrual of $1.9 million related to severance and related expenses under the provisions of the 2011 restructuring plan. In addition, our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet included an accrual of $0.1 million related to operating lease commitments under the provisions of the restructuring plan we initiated in 2005.
