ITEM 2.06. Material Impairments

Since December 31, 2006, management has closely monitored trends in economic factors and their effects on our quarterly operating results to determine if an impairment trigger was present that would warrant a reassessment of the recoverability of the carrying amount of goodwill prior to the required annual impairment test. During the three months ended September 30, 2007, the macroeconomic factors that drive the business declined further than expected prompting management to revise expectations for its reporting units. As a result of these unfavorable operating conditions, the Company performed an interim impairment test for certain of its reporting units. As a result of this interim impairment test, management determined that the carrying value of goodwill for these reporting units exceeded their implied fair value. As such, the Company will record a non-cash pre-tax impairment charge of approximately $19 million in the third quarter of 2007.
