(12)         Severance, impairment and other associated costs

The changes in the accrual related to severance, impairment and other associated costs during the three months ended March 29, 2013 were as follows (inmillions):

Balance accrued at December 28, 2012	$	0.7
Net expense		0.0
Cash payments		(0.5	)
Non-cash charges		0.2
Balance accrued at March 29, 2013	$	0.4

During the three months ended March 29, 2013 and March 30, 2012, we incurred costs of less than $0.1 million and $1.5 million, respectively, associated with restructuring actions.

During the first quarter of 2012, the $1.5 million of charges included $0.7 million for severance, lease termination and other costs associated with our ongoing initiative to reorganize the capacity of our manufacturing plants in China as we shift manufacturing to lower cost facilities; $0.6 million related to workforce reductions, primarily in Europe; and $0.2 million of additional costs associated with our withdrawal from Wireless' audio components business, which we initiated and substantially completed in 2011.

As of March 29, 2013, we had $0.4 million accrued for costs associated with our ongoing restructuring actions, of which a majority will be paid within one year.
