(3) The majority of the Corporate balance as of December 31, 2014 relates to goodwill attributable to our acquisition of Jefferson Wells ($55.5) which is part of the United States reporting unit. For purposes of monitoring our total assets by segment, we do not allocate the Corporate balance to the respective reportable segments. We do, however, include these balances within the appropriate reporting units for our goodwill impairment testing. See the table below for the breakout of goodwill balances by reporting unit.

(4) Balances were net of accumulated impairment loss of $513.4 as of January 1, 2013, December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2014.
