No goodwill or intangibles have been assigned to the Corporate operating segment.

Impairment exists when a reporting unit’s carrying value of goodwill exceeds its fair value. The Company assesses goodwill for impairment at its reporting units that contain goodwill, Banking and Factoring. At the measurement date, these reporting units had positive equity and the Company elected to perform qualitative assessments to determine if it was more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting units exceeded their carrying values, including goodwill. The qualitative assessment indicated that it was more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit exceeded its carrying value, resulting in no impairment.

After performing an impairment test comparing the carrying value of intangible assets to the fair value of intangible assets, it was determined that the carrying amount of core deposit intangibles related to public funds assigned to the Banking segment exceeded the fair value of these core deposit intangibles, resulting in an impairment charge of $1,276,000 for the year ended December 31, 2017. The impairment charge was recorded as amortization expense in the consolidated statements of income. The impairment of the core deposit intangibles was a result of the decline in public funds deposit balances caused by the Company’s intentional decision to reduce its reliance on the use of public funds. There were no impairment charges for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015.

Generally, acquired intangible assets are being amortized utilizing an accelerated method over their estimated useful lives, which range from 8 to 10 years. The future amortization schedule for the Company’s intangible assets is as follows:

(Dollars in thousands)
2018	$	4,296
2019		3,735
2020		3,178
2021		2,617
2022		2,059
Thereafter		3,767
	$	19,652
