impairment testing is a two-step process. In the first step, in evaluating
whether there is an impairment of goodwill, we calculate the estimated fair
value of our reporting units by using a methodology that considers market
information and projections of our after-tax cash flows, referred to as the
income approach.&#160;&#160;If we determine that our estimated fair value is
less than the carrying value of a reporting unit&#8217;s goodwill, goodwill is
potentially impaired and step two of the impairment test is performed. In step
two we compare the estimated fair value of the goodwill of our reporting units
to their carrying value. We calculate this impairment by considering the cash
flows and the fair values of the net tangible and intangible assets. Our
reporting units are defined as Canada, US West, and US East. Our reporting units
are determined based on the way management organizes the Company for making
operating decisions and assessing performance. We allocate our goodwill to these
geographic areas. We do not monitor or allocate goodwill to practice
areas.</font></div>

further discussed in the notes to our 20XX audited consolidated financial

overall economic conditions in 2008, our annual impairment review resulted in an

market and economic conditions deteriorate further or if continued volatility in
the financial markets increases our weighted-average cost of capital, changes
cash flow multiples, or other inputs to our goodwill assessment, our goodwill
may require testing for impairment between our annual testing
periods.&#160;&#160;In addition, it is reasonably possible that changes in the
numerous variables associated with the judgments, assumptions and estimates we
made in assessing the fair value of our goodwill, could cause our reporting
units to be further impaired which would decrease our goodwill assets and
increase our reported expenses.&#160;&#160;Goodwill impairment charges are
non-cash charges that could have a material adverse affect on our consolidated
financial statements, but would not have any adverse effect on our liquidity,
cash flows from operating activities, or debt covenants and will not have an
impact on future operations.</font></div>

believes the methodology used to review impairment of goodwill, which includes a
significant amount of judgment and estimates, provides a reasonable basis to
determine whether impairment has occurred.&#160;&#160;However, many of the
factors used in determining whether or not goodwill is impaired are outside of
management&#8217;s control and it is reasonable likely that assumptions and estimates
will change in future periods.&#160;&#160;These changes can result in future
impairments.</font></div>

impairment testing is a two-step process.&#160;&#160;In the first step, the
Company compares the fair value of its reporting units to its carrying value.
The Company estimates fair value using market information and discounted
after-tax cash flow projections, referred to as the income
approach.&#160;&#160;The income approach uses a reporting unit&#8217;s projection of
estimated operating results and discounted cash flows using a discount rate that
reflects current market conditions.&#160;&#160;For the Company&#8217;s 2008 impairment
review, the reporting unit&#8217;s cash flows were discounted using discount rates
ranging from 9.0% to 11.5%.&#160;&#160;To arrive at cash flow projections, the
Company used estimates of economic and market information over the projection
period, including growth rates in revenues, costs, estimates of future expected
changes in operating margins and cash expenditures.&#160;&#160;Other significant
estimates and assumptions included terminal value growth rates, future estimates
of capital expenditures, and changes in future working capital
requirements.</font></div>

Company validates its estimate of fair value of each reporting unit under the
income approach by comparing the resulting multiples to multiples derived from
comparable public company transactions or acquisition multiples on our private
company transactions.&#160;&#160;The Company reconciles the total of the fair
values of it&#8217;s reporting units with it&#8217;s market capitalization to determine if
the sum of the individual fair values is reasonable compared to the external
market indicators.&#160;&#160;If the reconciliation indicates a significant
difference between the external market capitalization and the fair values of the
reporting units, the Company reviews and adjusts, if appropriate, the discount
rates by reporting units and considers if the implied control premium is
reasonable in light of current market conditions.</font></div>

the carrying value of the reporting unit is higher than its fair value, there is
an indication that impairment may exist and the second step must be performed to
measure the amount of the impairment.&#160;&#160;The amount of the impairment is
determined by comparing the implied fair value of the reporting unit&#8217;s goodwill
to the carrying value of the goodwill calculated in the same manner as if the
reporting unit was being acquired in a business combination.&#160;&#160;If the
implied fair value of the goodwill is less than the recorded goodwill, an
impairment charge is recorded for the difference.</font></div>

the third quarter of 2008, our goodwill impairment testing determined that two
of our reporting units (US West and US East) were impaired. The impairment was
due mainly to fluctuations in the market and uncertainties arising from overall
economic conditions (particularly surrounding the Urban Land practice area which
accounted for approximately 21% of the revenue of the two reporting units). This
charge of $53.0 million was allocated to our US West and US East reporting units
and is reflected as a non-cash charge to income.&#160;&#160;The aggregate
carrying value of the goodwill after the impairment charge for US West and US
East is $342 million or 76% of the consolidated goodwill balance. These
reporting units now have fair values in excess of their adjusted carrying values
of approximately 3%.</font></div>

regularly review long-lived assets and intangible assets with finite lives when
events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such
assets may not be fully recoverable.&#160;&#160;The determination of
recoverability is based on an estimate of undiscounted future cash flows, and
the measurement of impairment loss is based on the fair value of the
asset.&#160;&#160;To determine recoverability, we compare the estimated
undiscounted future cash flows projected to be generated by these assets to
their respective carrying value.&#160;&#160;In performing this analysis, we make
estimates or assumptions about factors such as current and future contracts with
clients, margins, market conditions, and the useful lives of
assets.</font></div>

the third quarter of 2008, we conducted our annual impairment test of these

recoverable.&#160;&#160;As part of the impairment test, we updated our future
cash flow assumptions and estimates, including factors such as current and
future contracts with clients, margins, market conditions, and the useful lives
of assets.&#160;&#160;Based on the results of this review, we concluded that the
intangible assets relating to client relationships acquired in The Keith
Companies, Inc. acquisition in 2005 were not fully recoverable and therefore
recorded a non-cash $5.4 million impairment charge to income.&#160;&#160;The
remaining carrying value of these client relationships after this impairment
charge is $6.0 million at December 31, 2008.</font></div>
