NOTE 8 - GOODWILL

In 2009, management performed an impairment evaluation to identify potential impairment of goodwill carried by the Company’s subsidiary banks. As a result of the impairment evaluation, a goodwill impairment charge was taken in the first quarter of 2009 for the Company’s entire book value of goodwill of $3.469 million. This non-cash charge was recorded as a component of noninterest expense. The goodwill on the books of the banks originally resulted from the acquisition of various banking offices between 1992 and 1999.
