Goodwill and Intangible Assets Disclosure [Abstract]

GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS, NET

At June 30, 2015, the Company had goodwill of $31.6 million related to the RenovationReady, CS Financial, Private Bank of California, and Beach Business Bank acquisitions.

The Company tests its goodwill for impairment annually as of August 31 (the Measurement Date). At the Measurement Date, the Company, in accordance with ASC 350-20-35-3, evaluates, based on the weight of evidence, the significance of all qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. The assessment of qualitative factors at the most recent Measurement Date indicated that it is not more likely than not that impairment existed; as a result no further testing was performed.

During the three months ended June 30, 2015, the Company wrote off a portion of core deposit intangibles on non-interest bearing demand deposits and money market accounts acquired through the BPNA Branch Acquisition of $258 thousand due to the deposits being transferred to held for sale for the pending sale of two branches announced subsequent to June 30, 2015. See Note 21 - Subsequent Events for additional information.

Core deposit intangibles are amortized over their useful lives ranging from 4 to 10 years. As of June 30, 2015, the weighted average remaining amortization period for core deposit intangibles was approximately 7.8 years. Customer relationship intangible, related to the RenovationReady acquisition, is amortized over its useful life of 5.0 years. As of June 30, 2015, the remaining amortization period for customer relationship intangible was approximately 3.6 years. Trade name intangibles, related to the RenovationReady and CS Financial acquisitions, have indefinite useful lives. The following table presents a summary of other intangible assets as of the dates indicated:

The Company has identified operating segments for purposes of management reporting and, accordingly, reallocated goodwill reporting units. Management reallocated goodwill to the reporting units using a relative fair value approach. The carrying values of goodwill allocated to the reportable segments were $29.5 million and $2.1 million to the Banking segment and Mortgage Banking segment, respectively, at June 30, 2015. See Note 19 for additional information.
