Note K – Goodwill

As of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, we had goodwill of $565.7 million. Under the provisions of FASB ASC 350, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other, goodwill is tested for impairment at least annually, or more frequently if events or circumstances indicate that it is "more likely than not" that goodwill might be impaired. Such events could include a significant change in business conditions, a significant negative regulatory outcome or other events that could negatively affect our business and financial performance. We perform our annual goodwill impairment assessment as of November 30th of each year.

Due to the continued difficult economic climates in California and Florida, the continued decline in Shoppers' revenues and the significant charges incurred during the first six months of 2011, management concluded that this environment could impact the valuation of the Shoppers reporting segment during the three months ended June 30, 2011. Accordingly, at the end of the second quarter management performed a review for impairment focusing on current expectations of future cash flows and concluded that no impairment existed as the recent actions taken are expected to result in significant annualized savings going forward. During the third quarter, we performed a qualitative assessment of whether it is more likely than not that the Shoppers reporting segment's fair value is less than its carrying amount and determined we did not need to perform a goodwill assessment at September 30, 2011.
