Non-cash charges are typically against the depreciation, amortization, and depletion accounts on a company's balance sheet.

Excluding Asyst-Shinko, the company expects to achieve net sales of approximately $50-55 million, which implies a rate of decline that is roughly consistent with guidance being provided across the industry. Gross margin is expected to decline to the 30% range. This reflects the under-absorption of overhead at the lower sales level as well as accelerated depreciation Accelerated Depreciation

Any method of depreciation used for accounting or income tax purposes that allows greater deductions in the earlier years of the life of an asset.
