Note 2 – Goodwill Impairment


During the second quarter we performed an impairment test of goodwill due to market conditions as of the end of our fifth fiscal period.  The Company’s market capitalization as calculated, using the share price multiplied by the shares outstanding, had declined in the second quarter and from fiscal year end 2011, resulting in a market value significantly lower than the fair value of the business segments.   We recorded a goodwill impairment charge of $132.0 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2012, of which $113.0 million related to our Food Distribution segment and $19.0 million related to our Retail segment.
