Item 2.05.    Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities
 
On May 17, 2005, in order to reduce overhead expense, Technitrol, Inc. committed to consolidate AMI Doduco's European production from five factories to four. In connection with this consolidation, AMI Doduco's manufacturing operations in Italy are being closed. The affected employees were notified on May 24, 2005. Technitrol estimates that the total amount incurred in connection with the consolidation will range from $3.2 to $3.8 million, consisting principally of employee related severance expense and fixed asset write-downs.
