NOTE 9 — GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS

Goodwill

The change in carrying amount of goodwill is as follows.

	2014		2013

Balance, January 1	$	64,900	$	63,947
Acquired goodwill		8,550		953

Balance, December 31	$	73,450	$	64,900

The Company tests goodwill for impairment on an annual basis, or more often if events or circumstances indicate there may be impairment. Impairment exists when a reporting unit's carrying value of goodwill exceeds its fair value. At June 30, 2014, the Company elected to perform a quantitative assessment to determine if the fair value of the reporting unit exceeded its carrying value, including goodwill. The quantitative assessment indicated that the fair value of the reporting unit exceeded its carrying value, resulting in no impairment.

A discussion of goodwill acquired in 2014 and 2013 can be found at Note 26.
