Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets	Note 10. Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets The Company records goodwill associated with its business acquisitions when the consideration paid exceeds the fair value of the net tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired. The Company’s goodwill balance was $36.9 million at September 30, 2014, which included $13.6 million in the North, $8.1 million in the Southeast, $6.5 million in Texas and $8.7 million in the West. The Company’s goodwill balance was $37.1 million at December 31, 2013, which included $13.7 million in the North, $8.1 million in the Southeast, $6.6 million in Texas and $8.7 million in the West. Goodwill was included in “Other” assets within the Consolidated Balance Sheets. ASC No. 350 (“ASC 350”), “Intangibles—Goodwill and Other,” requires that goodwill and certain intangible assets be reviewed for impairment at least annually. The Company performs impairment tests of its goodwill annually as of November 30 or whenever significant events or changes occur that indicate impairment of goodwill may exist. ASC 350 allows an entity to qualitatively assess whether it is necessary to perform step one of the prescribed two-step annual goodwill test. If an entity believes, as a result of its qualitative assessment, that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit exceeds its carrying amount, the two-step goodwill impairment test is not required.

If any part of goodwill has not been allocated to a reportable segment, discloses the unallocated amount and the reasons for not allocating. For each impairment loss recognized related to an intangible asset (excluding goodwill), discloses: (a) a description of the impaired intangible asset and the facts and circumstances leading to the impairment, (b) the amount of the impairment loss and the method for determining fair value, (c) the caption in the income statement or the statement of activities in which the impairment loss is aggregated, and (d) the segment in which the impaired intangible asset is reported. For each goodwill impairment loss recognized, discloses: (a) a description of the facts and circumstances leading to the impairment, (b) the amount of the impairment loss and the method of determining the fair value of the associated reporting unit, and (c) if a recognized impairment loss is an estimate not finalized and the reasons why the estimate is not final.
