Goodwill and Intangible Assets Disclosure [Text Block]

(9)	Goodwill and Intangible Assets

US GAAP requires that goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives not be amortized, but instead be tested for impairment at least annually. Annual evaluations have resulted in no indication of impairment. Bancorp currently has goodwill in the amount of $682 thousand from the 1996 acquisition of an Indiana bank. This goodwill is assigned to the commercial banking segment of Bancorp.

Bancorp recorded a gross core deposit intangible totaling $2.5 million as a result of its 2013 acquisition of THE BANCorp, Inc. This intangible is being amortized over the expected life of the underlying deposits to which the intangible is attributable. At September 30, 2016, the unamortized core deposit intangible was $1.5 million.

Mortgage servicing rights (MSRs) are initially recognized at fair value when mortgage loans are sold with servicing retained. The MSRs are amortized in proportion to and over the period of estimated net servicing income, considering appropriate prepayment assumptions. MSRs are evaluated quarterly for impairment by comparing carrying value to fair value. Estimated fair values of MSRs at September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 were $2.3 million and $3.1 million, respectively. Total outstanding principal balances of loans serviced for others were $374.4 million and $410.8 million at September 30, 2016, and December 31, 2015, respectively.

Changes in the net carrying amount of MSRs for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 are shown in the following table:
