Goodwill | NOTE 4. GOODWILL Goodwill balances by business segment at December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 were:
DOLLARS IN MILLIONS |  | 2013 |  | 2012

The Company tests goodwill for recoverability on an annual basis at the beginning of the first quarter and, if circumstances or events indicate that the fair value of a reporting unit may have declined below its carrying value, such tests are performed at intervening interim periods. The Company principally used projections of discounted future cash flows to estimate the fair values of the reporting units tested. For each reporting unit tested, the estimated fair value exceeded the carrying value of the reporting unit, and the Company concluded that the associated goodwill was recoverable at the aforementioned dates tested.
