3.  GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLES

 

We have two reporting units which are also our operating and reporting segments: Installation and Distribution.  Both reporting units contain goodwill.  Assets acquired and liabilities assumed are assigned to the applicable reporting unit based on whether the acquired assets and liabilities relate to the operations of and determination of the fair value of such unit.  Goodwill assigned to the reporting unit is the excess of the fair value of the acquired business over the fair value of the individual assets acquired and liabilities assumed for the reporting unit.

 

The estimated fair values of the two reporting units substantially exceeded their respective carrying values based on the most recent annual impairment test which occurred in the fourth quarter of 2018.
