Restructuring

Pre-tax restructuring reserves at June 30, 2008 are composed of the following:

      Balance at                           Balance at
      December 31,     Restructuring     Cash       Non-cash       June 30,
(Dollars in thousands)     2007               charges               payments                 charges                 2008
 
Severance and benefit costs   $ 81,251   $ 29,877   $ (33,814 )   $ -     $ 77,314
Asset impairments     -     682     -       (682 )     -
Other exit costs     5,795     5,349     (1,949 )     -       9,195
Total   $ 87,046   $ 35,908   $ (35,763 )   $ (682 )   $ 86,509

We recorded pre-tax restructuring charges and asset impairments of $35.9 million in the six months ended June 30, 2008. These charges relate primarily to a program we announced in November 2007 to lower our cost structure, accelerate efforts to improve operational efficiencies, and transition our product line. As a result of this program, we have targeted a net reduction of about 1,500 positions. About half of these reductions will be outside the U.S. During the first six months of 2008, 964 terminations have occurred under this program. We expect to incur approximately $50 million of restructuring charges in 2008 associated with actions identified to date; however, we continue to evaluate additional actions in conjunction with this program. We expect to complete the majority of this program by the end of 2008. The majority of the liability at June 30, 2008 is expected to be paid by mid-2009 from cash generated from operations.

Pre-tax restructuring reserves at March 31, 2008 are composed of the following:

    Balance at                           Balance at
    December 31,   Restructuring     Cash       Non-cash       March 31,

Total   $ 87,046   $ 17,093   $ (11,853 )   $ (537 )   $ 91,749

We recorded pre-tax restructuring charges and asset impairments of $17.1 million in the first quarter of 2008. These charges relate primarily to a program we announced in November 2007 to lower our cost structure, accelerate efforts to improve operational efficiencies, and transition our product line. As a result of this program, we have targeted a net reduction of about 1,500 positions. About half of these reductions will be outside the U.S. As of March 31, 2008, 576 employees had been terminated under this program. We expect to incur approximately $40 million of restructuring charges in 2008 associated with actions identified to date; however, we continue to evaluate additional actions in conjunction with this program. We expect to complete the majority of this program by the end of 2008. The majority of the liability at March 31, 2008 is expected to be paid by mid-2009 from cash generated from operations.

In January 2003, we undertook restructuring initiatives related to realigned infrastructure requirements and reduced manufacturing needs for digital equipment. The activities associated with this program were substantially completed in 2006. At March 31, 2008, we had a remaining liability associated with this program of $4.1 million. We made payments of $0.5 million during the first quarter of 2008.

Restructuring

In connection with our restructuring program that we concluded in 2006, we recorded pre-tax restructuring charges of $5.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2006.

We primarily fund restructuring payments with cash from operating activities. We expect to pay most of the outstanding restructuring balance by the end of 2007. We expect the restructuring initiatives to continue to increase our operating efficiency and effectiveness in 2007 and beyond while enhancing growth, primarily as a result of the reduction in personnel-related expenses.

The pre-tax restructuring charges were composed of:

(Dollars in thousands)   Three Months
    Ended March 31,

Severance and benefit costs   $ 4,522
