Note 17: Consolidation of Banking Centers	NOTE 17: CONSOLIDATION OF BANKING CENTERS On September 24, 2015, the Company announced plans to consolidate operations of 16 banking centers into other nearby Great Southern banking center locations. As part of an ongoing performance review of its entire banking center network, Great Southern evaluated each location for a number of criteria, including access and availability of services to affected customers, the proximity of other Great Southern banking centers, profitability and transaction volumes, and market dynamics. This review culminated in the approval of the consolidation of these banking centers by the Great Southern Board of Directors. Subsequent to this announcement, the Bank entered into definitive agreements to sell two of the 16 banking centers, including all of the associated deposits. The offices are expected to be sold to bank purchasers in the first quarter of 2016, pending regulatory approval. These locations have total deposits of approximately $22 million. The closing of the remaining 14 facilities, which will result in the transfer of approximately $150 million in deposits and banking center operations to other Great Southern locations, is expected to occur at the close of business on January 8, 2016. Beginning in 2016, the Company expects a positive pre-tax income statement impact of approximately $3.2 million to $3.5 million on an annual basis primarily due to the anticipated reduction in non-interest expenses. In addition, the Company anticipates recording one-time expenses totaling approximately $500,000 to $750,000, primarily during the third and fourth quarters of 2015, in connection with severance costs for affected employees, shortened useful lives of certain leases and furniture and equipment and other costs related to the consolidations. During the three months ended September 30, 2015, $220,000 of this expense was recognized for certain leases and furniture and equipment. The affected premises will be marketed for sale. The Company has evaluated the carrying value of the affected premises (totaling approximately $7.5 million) to determine if any impairment of the value of these premises is warranted and has recorded a valuation allowance of $1.0 million related to the premises at September 30, 2015.
