Represents goodwill written off related to Federal Trust Corporation which is currently recorded in discontinued operations.
During the first quarter of 2012, the Company determined that a triggering event requiring an impairment assessment had occurred as a result of its decision to pursue sales or other strategic alternatives for the Individual Life and Retirement Plans reporting units. The Company completed interim impairment tests during the first and second quarters of 2012 for these two reporting units which resulted in no impairment of goodwill.
Retirement Plans continues to pass the first step by a significant margin and Individual Life passed step one with a margin of less than 10% between fair value and book value of the reporting unit as of June 30, 2012. The fair value of the Individual Life reporting unit is based on discounted cash flows using earnings projections on in force business and product sales. There could be a positive or negative impact on the result of step one in future periods if assumptions change about the level of economic capital, product sales, earnings projections or the weighted average cost of capital.
As the sales process progresses, information may become available that would cause the Company to re-evaluate the goodwill valuation associated with these reporting units.
