PHI's goodwill balance of $1.4 billion was unchanged during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011. Substantially all of PHI's goodwill was generated by Pepco's acquisition of Conectiv in 2002 and is allocated entirely to the Power Delivery reporting unit based on the aggregation of its regulated public utility company components for purposes of assessing impairment under FASB guidance on goodwill and other intangibles (ASC 350).

PHI's annual impairment test as of November 1, 2010 indicated that goodwill was not impaired. For the three months ended September 30, 2011, PHI concluded that there were no events requiring it to perform an interim goodwill impairment test. PHI will perform its next annual impairment test as of November 1, 2011.
