Special Note Concerning Forward-Looking Statements and Risk Factors

This document (including information incorporated by reference) contains, and future oral and written statements of the Company and its management may contain, forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 with respect to the financial condition, results of operations, plans, objectives, future performance and business of the Company. Forward-looking statements, which may be based upon beliefs, expectations and assumptions of the Company’s management and on information currently available to management, are generally identifiable by the use of words such as “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “plan,” “intend,” “estimate,” “may,” “will,” “would,” “could,” “should” or other similar expressions. Additionally, all statements in this document, including forward-looking statements, speak only as of the date they are made, and the Company undertakes no obligation to update any statement in light of new information or future events.

A number of factors, many of which are beyond the ability of the Company to control or predict, could cause actual results to differ materially from those in its forward-looking statements. These factors include, among others, the following: (i) the strength of the U.S. and global economies and financial markets in general and the strength of the local economies in which the Company conducts its operations, including the local residential and commercial real estate markets, which may be less favorable than expected and may result in, among other things, a deterioration in the credit quality and value of the Company’s assets; (ii) the effects of, and changes in, federal, state and local laws, regulations and policies affecting banking, securities, taxation, insurance and monetary and financial matters, as well as any laws and regulations otherwise affecting the Company, including laws and regulations intended to address the current stresses in the U.S. and global financial markets, national security and money laundering; (iii) the effects of continued adverse market conditions and further volatility in investment securities generally, which may result in a deterioration in the value of the securities in the Company’s investment portfolio; (iv) the ability of the Company to comply with, and satisfy the requirements of, its formal written agreements with its regulators and the consequences that may result from any inability to comply; (v) the ability of the Company to comply with applicable federal, state and local laws, regulations and policies and the consequences that may result from any inability to comply; (vi) the effects of changes in interest rates (including the effects of changes in the rate of prepayments of the Company’s assets) and the policies of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System; (vii) the ability of the Company to compete with other financial institutions as effectively as the Company currently intends due to increases in competitive pressures in the financial services sector; (viii) the ability of the Company to maintain an acceptable net interest margin; (ix) the ability of the Company to obtain new customers and retain existing customers; (x) the timely development and acceptance of products and services, including products and services offered through alternative delivery channels such as the Internet; (xi) technological changes implemented by the Company and by other parties, including third party vendors, which may be more difficult or more expensive than anticipated or which may have unforeseen consequences to the Company and its customers, including technological changes implemented for, or related to, the Company’s website or new products; (xii) the ability of the Company, and certain of its vendors, to develop and maintain secure and reliable electronic systems, including systems developed for the Company’s website or new products; (xiii) the ability of the Company to retain directors, executives and key employees, and the difficulty that the Company may experience in replacing directors, executives and key employees in an effective manner; (xiv) consumer spending and saving habits which may change in a manner that affects the Company’s business adversely; (xv) the economic impact of past and any future terrorist attacks, acts of war or threats thereof and the response of the U.S. to any such attacks and threats; (xvi) business combinations and the integration of acquired businesses, which may be more difficult or expensive than expected; (xvii) the costs, effects and outcomes of existing or future litigation and disputes with third parties, including, but not limited to, claims in connection with collection actions, employment matters and sales of business units; (xviii) changes in accounting policies and practices, as may be adopted by state and federal regulatory agencies and the Financial Accounting Standards Board, the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board and the Securities and Exchange Commission; (xix) credit risks and the risks from concentrations (by geographic area or industry) within the Company’s loan portfolio; (xx) the failure of the Company’s Real Estate Investment Trust (“REIT”) to qualify as a REIT and the effects of such failure on the Company’s consolidated effective tax rate; and (xxi) the ability of the Company to manage the risks associated with the foregoing as well as anticipated.

Additional information concerning the Company and its business, including risk factors that could materially affect the Company’s results of operations and financial condition, is included in the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K.

To Our Shareholders, Customers and Friends

The challenges presented by the economy during 2008 continued throughout most of 2009. The banking industry continued to experience a significant number of failures, the financial markets struggled to gain traction and the local and national economies failed to show signs of growth.

Although this was disappointing to us, we were still able to outperform most of our peers (U.S. banks between $1 and $3 billion in assets) according to Uniform Bank Performance data as of, and for the year ended, December 31, 2009. Our net loss for 2009 represented a (.04)% return on average assets in comparison to a return of (.28)% for our peers. Our non-current loans as a percentage of gross loans was 3.25% compared to 3.76% for our peers as of December 31, 2009.

In 2009 at West Suburban, we experienced the first net loss in our 48 year history. The net loss in 2009 totaled $.8 million compared to net income in 2008 of $16.8 million. The decrease resulted primarily from $24.9 million we recognized for provision for loan losses as we increased our allowance for loan losses to total loans to 2.17%. We believe that increasing our allowance for loan losses was appropriate in light of the state of the local and national economies and the increases in our problem and nonaccrual loans in our loan portfolio. Additionally, during 2009 we wrote off $8.3 million of pooled trust preferred securities. Even as we built our reserves and recorded certain losses, our performance permitted us to declare dividends of $10 per share in 2009 and minimize our net loss. Also during 2009, we were able to grow our total assets while maintaining our strong capital levels.

During 2009, our board of directors decided to suspend the payment of a quarterly dividend. We feel it was a prudent business decision to suspend the payment of dividends in order to maintain strong capital levels as we navigate our way through this time of economic uncertainty. Please be assured that it is our highest priority to protect your investment by continuing to evaluate all areas of our business, the local and national economies, as well as changes in banking regulations.

Helping to meet the challenges we are being faced with includes reducing or freezing operating costs, including salaries, marketing and discretionary benefits.   Additionally, we have tightened our lending criteria even more than we had over the last several years. We continue to review the rates paid on deposits and the rates we charge on loans daily to attempt to optimize our net interest margin while maintaining our strong and loyal customer base and the high quality of service we provide.

We would like to express our appreciation to everyone for the support that has allowed us to become and remain one of the largest independent banks headquartered in DuPage County and we welcome your comments and suggestions. We could not have achieved our success without the support of our shareholders, customers, communities, friends and employees.

As we all have been affected in some way in this recession we, as you, look forward to better times for West Suburban as well as our Nation. Thank you for your continued support and understanding.

Sincerely,

MANAGEMENT’S REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL
OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

Management of the Company is responsible for establishing and maintaining an effective system of internal control over financial reporting. The Company’s system of internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. There are inherent limitations in the effectiveness of any system of internal control over financial reporting, including the possibility of human error and the circumvention or overriding of controls. Accordingly, even an effective system of internal control over financial reporting can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risks that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Management assessed the Company’s systems of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2009. This assessment was based on criteria for effective internal control over financial reporting described in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on this assessment, management believes that, as of December 31, 2009, the Company maintained effective internal control over financial reporting based on those criteria.

The Company’s independent auditors have issued an audit report on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

Board of Directors and Shareholders

West Suburban Bancorp, Inc.

Lombard, Illinois

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of West Suburban Bancorp, Inc.  (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, and the related consolidated statements of income, changes in shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2009. We also have audited the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2009, based on the criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. The Company’s management is responsible for these financial statements, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audits of the financial statements included examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that: (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2009 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2009, based on the criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.

WEST SUBURBAN BANCORP, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Dollars in thousands, except per share data)

Note 1 - Nature of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

West Suburban Bancorp, Inc. (“West Suburban”) through the branch network of its subsidiary, West Suburban Bank (the “Bank” and, together with West Suburban, the “Company”), operates 35 full-service branches, five limited-service branches and four departments providing insurance, financial and other services for the convenience of the customers of the Bank throughout DuPage, Kane, Kendall and Will Counties in Illinois. Customers in these areas are the primary consumers of the Company’s loan and deposit products and services. Although borrower cash flow is expected to be the primary source of repayment, the Company’s loans are generally secured by various forms of collateral or security including real estate, business assets, consumer goods, personal guarantees and other items.

Operating Segments

While the Company’s senior management monitors the revenue streams derived from various individual and groups of products and services, operations are managed and financial performance is evaluated on a company-wide basis. Accordingly, all of the Company’s operations are considered by management to be aggregated in one reportable operating segment. Discrete financial information is not available other than on a company-wide basis.

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of West Suburban and the Bank. Significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

Use of Estimates

To prepare financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, management makes estimates and assumptions, which are subject to change, based on available information. These estimates and assumptions affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and the disclosures provided, and future results could differ. The allowance for loan losses, fair values of financial instruments, carrying values of other real estate and other-than-temporary impairment of securities are particularly subject to change.

Securities

Debt and marketable equity securities are classified into two categories, “available for sale” and “held to maturity.” Available for sale securities are carried at fair value with net unrealized gains and losses (net of deferred tax) reported in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) as a separate component of shareholders’ equity. Held to maturity securities are carried at amortized cost as the Company has both the ability and positive intent to hold them to maturity. Other securities such as Federal Home Loan Bank stock are carried at cost. Interest income includes amortization of purchase premium or discount. Premiums and discounts on securities are amortized on the level-yield method without anticipating prepayments, except for mortgage-backed securities where prepayments are anticipated. Gains and losses on sales are recorded on the trade date and determined using the specific identification method. The Company does not engage in trading activities.

Management evaluates securities for other-than-temporary impairment at least on a quarterly basis, and more frequently when economic or market conditions warrant such an evaluation. Declines in the fair value of securities below their cost that are other than temporary are reflected as realized losses. In estimating other-than-temporary losses, management considers the length of time and extent that fair value has been less than cost, the financial condition and near term prospects of the issuer and whether the Company has the intent to sell or more likely than not would be required to sell the security before its anticipated recovery.

Loans and Allowance for Loan Losses

Loans that management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future or until maturity or payoff are reported at the principal balance outstanding, net of unearned interest, deferred loan fees and costs and an allowance for loan losses. Interest income is accrued on the unpaid balance of the Company’s loans and includes amortization of net deferred loan fees and costs over the loan term. Loan origination fees, net of certain direct origination costs,

11

are deferred and recognized in interest income using the level-yield method without anticipating prepayments. Accrual of interest is generally discontinued on loans 90 days past due, or on an earlier date, if management believes, after considering economic and business conditions and collection efforts, that the borrower’s financial condition is such that collection of principal or interest is doubtful. In some circumstances, a loan more than 90 days past due may continue to accrue interest if it is fully secured and in the process of collection. When a loan is classified as nonaccrual, interest previously accrued but not collected is charged back to interest income. When payments are received on nonaccrual loans they are first applied to principal, then to interest income and finally to expenses incurred for collection.

The allowance for loan losses is a valuation allowance for probable incurred credit losses in the loan portfolio. The allowance is increased by a provision for loan losses charged to earnings. Loan losses are charged against the allowance when management believes the uncollectibility of a loan has been established. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance. The allowance consists of specific and general components. The specific component relates to specific loans that are individually classified as impaired. The general component covers pools of other loans and is based on historical loss experience adjusted for current factors. The allowance for loan losses is evaluated monthly based on management’s periodic review of loan collectibility in light of historical loan loss experience, the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, information about specific borrower situations and estimated collateral values and prevailing economic conditions. Although allocations of the allowance may be made for specific loans, the entire allowance is available for any loan that, in management’s judgment, should be charged-off. Management’s evaluation of loan collectibility is inherently subjective as it requires estimates that are subject to significant revision as more information becomes available or as relevant circumstances change.

The Company evaluates commercial, real estate construction and commercial mortgage loans monthly for impairment. A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, full payment under the loan terms is not expected. Loans for which the terms have been modified and for which the borrower is experiencing financial difficulties are considered troubled debt restructurings and classified as impaired. Impairment is measured based on the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate or the fair value of the loan’s collateral, if repayment of the loan is collateral dependent. A valuation allowance is maintained for the amount of impairment. Generally, loans 90 days or more past due and loans classified as nonaccrual status are considered for impairment. Impairment is considered on an entire category basis for smaller-balance loans of similar nature such as residential real estate and consumer loans, and on an individual basis for other loans. In general, consumer and credit card loans are charged-off no later than 120 days after a consumer or credit card loan becomes past due.

Loans Held for Sale

Loans are identified as either held for investment or held for sale upon origination. Loans held for sale are recorded at the lower of amortized cost or fair value, as determined by outside commitments from investors. Unrealized losses, if any, are recognized on a current basis by charges to earnings. At December 31, 2009 and 2008, loans held for sale were $0 and $1,768, respectively. The cost and fair value of loans held for sale was approximately the same. Mortgage loans held for sale are generally sold with servicing released.

Bank-Owned Life Insurance (“BOLI”)

The Company has purchased life insurance policies on certain officers and directors. Bank-owned life insurance is recorded at the amount that can be realized under the insurance contract at the balance sheet date, which is the cash surrender value adjusted for other charges or other amounts due that are probable at settlement.

Premises and Equipment

Land is carried at cost. Premises and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is generally computed on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets ranging from 8 to 50 years for premises and from 3 to 15 years for furniture and equipment.

Other Real Estate

Other real estate includes properties acquired in partial or total settlement of problem loans. Assets acquired through or instead of loan foreclosure are initially recorded at fair value less anticipated costs to sell when acquired, establishing a new cost basis. If fair value declines subsequent to acquisition, a valuation allowance is recorded through expense. Operating costs after acquisition are expensed.

12

Long-term Assets

Premises and equipment and other long-term assets are reviewed for impairment when events indicate their carrying amount may not be recoverable from future undiscounted cash flows. If impaired, the assets are recorded at fair value.

Loan Commitments and Related Financial Instruments

Financial instruments include off-balance sheet credit instruments, such as commitments to make loans and commercial letters of credit, issued to meet customer financing needs. The face amount for these items represents the exposure to loss, before considering customer collateral or ability to repay. Such financial instruments are recorded when they are funded.

Discontinued Operations

On December 4, 2009, the Company sold its prepaid solutions group. The current and comparative results related to the prepaid solutions group have been reflected as discontinued operations.

During 2010, the Company anticipates transferring substantially all of the outstanding balances on prepaid solutions cards, which represent the total of prepaid solutions cards deposits and prepaid solutions cards liabilities to another financial institution.

Income Taxes

Income tax expense is the total of the current year income tax due or refundable and the change in deferred tax assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the carrying amounts and the tax basis of assets and liabilities, computed using enacted tax rates. A valuation allowance, if needed, reduces deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.

The Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) guidance “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” as of January 1, 2007. A tax position is recognized as a benefit only if it is “more likely than not” that the tax position would be sustained in a tax examination, with a tax examination being presumed to occur. The amount recognized is the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized on examination. For tax positions not meeting the “more likely than not” test, no tax benefit is recorded. The adoption had no impact on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.

The Company recognizes interest and/or penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense. During 2009, the Company did not record any interest or penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense.

Employee Stock Ownership Plan (“ESOP”) and Other Retirement Plans

The West Suburban Bank 401(k) Profit Sharing Plan was established to assist the Company in recruiting and retaining its personnel. Participation in the plan is subject to certain age and service requirements. Although the Company currently intends to match a percentage of the contributions that each employee voluntarily makes to the plan, all contributions by the Company are discretionary and subject to review by the Board of Directors from time to time. The plan is also intended to enable long time employees of the Company that also participate in the ESOP to diversify their retirement savings.

The Bank also maintains an ESOP, which is a noncontributory tax qualified retirement plan that covers employees who have satisfied specific service requirements. Subject to review by the Board of Directors, the Bank makes contributions to the ESOP for the benefit of the participants from time to time. Dividends declared on common stock owned by the ESOP are charged against retained earnings.

Dividends paid on ESOP shares are passed through to participants. Earned and allocated ESOP shares are voted by the respective participants. Because participants may require the Company to purchase their ESOP shares upon termination of their employment, the appraised fair market value of all earned and allocated ESOP shares is reclassified from shareholders’ equity.

The Company has a postretirement heathcare plan covering certain executives. Postretirement benefit costs are net of service and interest costs and amortization of gains and losses not immediately recognized.

13

The Company has deferred compensation arrangements with certain former and current executive officers. Deferred compensation expense allocates the benefits over years of service.

Earnings Per Share

Earnings per share is calculated on the basis of the daily weighted average number of shares outstanding. ESOP shares are considered outstanding for this calculation.

Cash Flows

For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash and due from banks and federal funds sold. Generally, federal funds are sold for one-day periods. Net cash flows are reported for customer loan, deposit, federal funds purchased and prepaid solutions cards transactions.

Comprehensive Income

Comprehensive income includes net income and other comprehensive income. The Company’s other comprehensive income consists of the change in unrealized gains and losses on available for sale securities and change in postretirement obligations, net of reclassification adjustments and deferred tax effects.

Legal Proceedings

Legal proceedings, including claims and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business, are recorded as liabilities when the likelihood of loss is probable and an amount or range of loss can be reasonably estimated.

Restrictions on Cash

Cash on hand or on deposit with the Federal Reserve Bank of $12,546 and $12,982 was required to meet regulatory reserve and clearing requirements at year end 2009 and 2008, respectively.

Dividend Restrictions

Banking regulations require maintaining certain capital levels and may limit the dividends paid by the Bank to West Suburban or by West Suburban to shareholders. (See Note 12 in the Consolidated Financial Statements for more specific disclosure.)

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair value of financial instruments are estimated using relevant market information and other assumptions. (See Note 10 for more specific disclosure.) Fair value estimates involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment regarding interest rates, credit risk, prepayments, and other factors, especially in the absence of broad markets for particular items. Changes in assumptions or in market conditions could significantly affect the estimates.

Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications have been made in prior years’ financial statements to conform to the current year’s presentation. All applicable information as of and for the years ended 2008 and 2007 has been reclassified for discontinued operations comparative purposes. To conform with the balance sheet presentation as of December 31, 2009, the Company reclassified $34,360 of December 31, 2008 prepaid solutions cards balances from liabilities to deposits. This reclassification is in accordance with the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation’s (“FDIC”) General Counsel Opinion No. 8 — “Stored Value Cards,” which became effective in the fourth quarter of 2008 and clarifies which prepaid solutions cards balances are classified as deposits. The balances that have been reclassified as deposits are eligible for FDIC insurance coverage to the maximum extent permitted by law. The reclassification of the December 31, 2008 balances did not change the Company’s consolidated assets disclosed in the December 31, 2008 consolidated financial statements and had no impact on the December 31, 2008 consolidated statement of income, statement of changes in shareholders’ equity or statement of cash flows.

Adoption of New Accounting Standards

In June 2009, the FASB replaced The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, with the FASB Accounting Standards Codification TM (the “Codification”) as the source of authoritative accounting principles recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities in the preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP. Rules and interpretive releases of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) under authority of federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. The Codification was effective for financial statements issued for periods ending after September 15, 2009.

14

In April 2009, the FASB amended existing guidance for determining whether impairment is other-than-temporary for debt securities. The guidance requires an entity to assess whether it intends to sell, or it is more likely than not that it will be required to sell, a security in an unrealized loss position before recovery of its amortized cost basis. If either of these criteria is met, the entire difference between amortized cost and fair value is recognized as impairment through earnings.  For securities that do not meet the aforementioned criteria, the amount of impairment is split into two components as follows: (1) other-than-temporary impairment (“OTTI”) related to other factors, which is recognized in other comprehensive income and (2) OTTI related to credit loss, which must be recognized in the income statement.  The credit loss is defined as the difference between the present value of the cash flows expected to be collected and the amortized cost basis. Additionally, disclosures about OTTI for debt and equity securities were expanded. This guidance was effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009, with early adoption permitted for periods ending after March 15, 2009.  The adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In April 2009, the FASB issued guidance that emphasizes that the objective of a fair value measurement does not change even when market activity for the asset or liability has decreased significantly.  Fair value is the price that would be received for an asset sold or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction (that is, not a forced liquidation or distressed sale) between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions.  When observable transactions or quoted prices are not considered orderly, then little, if any, weight should be assigned to the indication of the asset or liability’s fair value.   Adjustments to those transactions or prices should be applied to determine the appropriate fair value.  The guidance, which was applied prospectively, was effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009, with early adoption permitted for periods ending after March 15, 2009.  The adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In August 2009, the FASB amended existing guidance for the fair value measurement of liabilities by clarifying that in circumstances in which a quoted price in an active market for the identical liability is not available, a reporting entity is required to measure fair value using a valuation technique that uses the quoted price of the identical liability when traded as an asset, that uses quoted prices for similar liabilities or similar liabilities when traded as assets, or that is consistent with existing fair value guidance. The amendments in this guidance also clarify that both a quoted price in an active market for the identical liability at the measurement date and the quoted price for the identical liability when traded as an asset in an active market when no adjustments to the quoted price of the asset are required are Level 1 fair value measurements. The guidance was effective for the first reporting period beginning after issuance. The adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Newly Issued But Not Yet Effective Accounting Standards

In June 2009, the FASB amended previous guidance relating to transfers of financial assets and eliminated the concept of a qualifying special purpose entity.  This guidance must be applied as of the beginning of each reporting entity’s first annual reporting period that begins after November 15, 2009, for interim periods within that first annual reporting period and for interim and annual reporting periods thereafter. This guidance must be applied to transfers occurring on or after the effective date. Additionally, on and after the effective date, the concept of a qualifying special purpose entity is no longer relevant for accounting purposes. Therefore, formerly qualifying special-purpose entities should be evaluated for consolidation by reporting entities on and after the effective date in accordance with the applicable consolidation guidance. The disclosure provisions were also amended and apply to transfers that occurred both before and after the effective date of this guidance.  The Company does not expect the adoption to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In June 2009, the FASB amended guidance for consolidation of variable interest entity guidance by replacing the quantitative-based risks and rewards calculation for determining which enterprise, if any, has a controlling financial interest in a variable interest entity with an approach focused on identifying which enterprise has the power to direct the activities of a variable interest entity that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance and (1) the obligation to absorb losses of the entity or (2) the right to receive benefits from the entity. Additional disclosures about an enterprise’s involvement in variable interest entities are also required. This guidance is effective as of the beginning of each reporting entity’s first annual reporting period that begins after November 15, 2009, for interim periods within that first annual reporting period, and for interim and annual reporting periods thereafter.
