In accordance with ASC Topic 360, Property, Plant, and Equipment (“ASC 360”), homebuilding inventories are carried at cost unless events and circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the underlying subdivision may not be recoverable. The Company evaluates its inventories for impairment at each quarter end. Please see “Inventories” in Note 5 for more detail on the methods and assumptions that were used to estimate the fair value of the Company’s inventories. Based on the impairment review, we did not record any inventory impairments during the three and six months ended June 30, 2012.

 

The inventory impairments recognized for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 are shown in the table below:
