Note

. Intangible Assets and Goodwill

In accounting for goodwill and intangible assets, the Company conducts an impairment review at least annually and more frequently if certain impairment indicators are evident. Accounting guidance provides the option of performing a preliminary assessment of qualitative factors before performing more substantial testing for impairment. If the preliminary assessment indicates that it is more likely than not that fair value is below carrying value, a

two

-step test is employed to determine impairment. The Company opted not to perform the preliminary assessment and employed the
