The reduction in average earning assets resulted from a $1.21 billion reduction in interest bearing funds at the Federal Reserve Bank and a $982.4 million net decrease in net loans outstanding which were offset in part by a $339.8 million increase in the taxable investment securities portfolio. Average interest bearing liabilities decreased $2.77 billion, or 13.2%, to $18.21 billion in the first six months of 2012 compared to the same period in 2011. The decrease in funding sources utilized to support earning assets was driven by a $2.13 billion decrease in interest bearing deposits and a $540.1 million decrease in long-term debt which was offset in part by a $635.8 million increase in non-interest bearing demand deposits.

Highlight of Business Operations:
For our annual goodwill impairment test, a third party valuation was obtained on the investment advisory services reporting unit, which accounts for approximately 82% of the recorded goodwill. The fair value of this reporting unit was determined by equally weighting the income approach (50%) and market approach (50%) to assess goodwill for potential impairment at June 30, 2012. The income approach utilized a discounted cash flow method, which focuses on the expected future cash flow of the subject business. The market approach measures values based on what other purchasers in the market have paid for assets that can be considered reasonably similar to those being valued. The first step (Step 1) of impairment testing requires a comparison of each reporting unit's fair value to the carrying value to identify potential impairment. At June 30, 2012, we completed the most recent annual goodwill impairment evaluation. The result of the Step 1 process indicated that goodwill at the investment advisory services reporting unit was not impaired, as the estimated fair value of the reporting unit exceeded the respective carrying value; therefore, no further testing was required. The estimated fair value of this reporting unit was $23.9 million, which exceeded the carrying value of $22.5 million by $1.4 million, or 6%. The key assumptions that drove the fair value of this reporting unit under the income approach included projected revenue growth, projected EBITDA margin, projected growth in assets under management and assets under supervision, and the discount rate. The market approach determined the fair value of this reporting unit using comparisons of the reporting unit to publicly-traded companies with similar operations. Under this method, valuation multiples were: (i) derived from operating data of the selected guideline companies; (ii) evaluated and adjusted based on the strengths and weaknesses of the reporting unit relative to the selected guideline companies; and (iii) applied to the operating data of the reporting unit to arrive at an indication of value.The carrying value of ORE was $174.9 million, $204.2 million, and $244.3 million at June 30, 2012, December 31, 2011, and June 30, 2011, respectively.
