Critical Accounting Estimates
−Removed: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make assessments, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts
−Removed: reported in the financial statements.
−Removed: We evaluate the accounting policies and estimates used to prepare the financial statements on an ongoing basis.
−Removed: Critical accounting estimates are those that require managements most difficult,
−Removed: complex, or subjective judgments and have the most potential to impact our financial position and operating results.
−Removed: For a detailed discussion of our critical accounting estimates, see our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
−Removed: December 31, 2009.
−Removed: Except as described below, there have been no material changes to the critical accounting estimates previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009.

−Removed: Considering this and certain other factors, we determined that the impact was not significant
−Removed: enough to warrant a full impairment review at this time.
−Removed: It is reasonably possible that we may be required to conduct an interim goodwill impairment evaluation during the remainder of 2010, which could result in a material impairment of goodwill.
−Removed: However, if the decline in our stock price does not reverse or the decline is significantly further extended, material write-downs or
−Removed: impairment charges may be required in the future.
−Removed: If the decline in our stock price were to persist or worsen, material impairment charges may be necessary.
−Removed: The magnitude and timing of those charges would be dependent on the severity and duration of
−Removed: the decline and cannot be determined at this time.
−Removed: Any material non-cash impairment charges related to goodwill or other intangible assets would have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.
