GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS

NOTE 8—GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS

A summary of the Company’s goodwill as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 follows:


	Three Months Ended March 31,
(in thousands)	2017		2016
Beginning balance	$	96,420	$	90,338
Additions from acquisitions		27,347		—
Impairment		—		—
Ending balance	$	123,767	$	90,338

The addition from acquisitions during the three months ended March 31, 2017 shown in the table above relates to an immaterial acquisition completed on January 30, 2017. The Company purchased certain assets and assumed certain liabilities of Deerwood Real Estate Capital, LLC (“Deerwood”), a regional commercial mortgage banking company based in the greater New York City area, for $28.2 million in total consideration, which consisted of cash and contingent consideration. The contingent consideration may be earned over the three-year period after the acquisition based on achievement of certain revenue targets. The Company determined the fair value of the contingent consideration using a probability-based, discounted cash flow estimate for the revenue targets (Level 3).

Prior to the acquisition, Deerwood engaged in commercial real estate loan brokerage services across the United States, with a primary focus in the Greater New York City area. The acquisition expands the Company’s network of loan originators and provides further diversification to its loan origination platform.

Substantially all of the value associated with Deerwood related to its assembled workforce and commercial lending platform, resulting in $27.3 million of goodwill. The Company expects all of goodwill to be tax deductible, with the tax-deductible amount of goodwill related to the contingent consideration to be determined once the cash payments to settle the contingent consideration are made. The other assets acquired included immaterial balances related to mortgage pipeline intangible assets and other assets. The operations of Deerwood have been merged into the Company’s existing operations. The goodwill resulting from the acquisition of Deerwood is allocated to the Company’s one reporting unit.

As of March 31, 2017, the Company has fully amortized all intangible assets obtained from acquisitions.
