Goodwill and Intangibles

12 Months Ended

Dec. 31, 2017

Note 8: Goodwill and Intangibles

The balance of goodwill as of December 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 was $16.4 million. No changes in goodwill were noted during 2017 or 2016. Goodwill is tested on the last day of the last quarter of each calendar year.

Impairment exists when a reporting unit’s carrying value of goodwill exceeds its fair value. At December 31, 2017, the Company’s reporting unit had positive equity and the Company elected to perform a qualitative assessment to determine if it was more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit exceeded its carrying value, 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.

Carrying basis and accumulated amortization of intangible assets were as follows at December 31:

	2017					2016
	Gross Carrying		Accumulated			Gross Carrying		Accumulated
($ in thousands)	Amount		Amortization			Amount		Amortization
Core deposits intangible	$	4,698	$	(4,682	)	$	4,698	$	(4,675	)
Customer relationship intangible		200		(158	)		200		(153	)
Banking intangibles		4,898		(4,840	)		4,898		(4,828	)

Amortization expense for core deposits and other for the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015 was $0.01, $0.01 and $0.20 million, respectively. Estimated amortization expense for each of the following five years is immaterial.
