Goodwill and Intangible Assets

The following table summarizes the Corporation’s acquired goodwill and intangible assets as of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012:

(Dollar amounts in thousands)	June 30, 2013				December 31, 2012
	Gross Carrying Amount		Accumulated Amortization		Gross Carrying Amount		Accumulated Amortization

Goodwill	$	3,664	$	-	$	3,664	$	-
Core deposit intangibles		4,027		2,937		4,027		2,792

Total	$	7,691	$	2,937	$	7,691	$	2,792

Goodwill resulted from three previous branch acquisitions. Goodwill represents the excess of the total purchase price paid for the branch acquisitions over the fair value of the assets acquired, net of the fair value of the liabilities assumed. Goodwill is not amortized but is evaluated for impairment on an annual basis or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable. No goodwill impairment charges were recorded during 2012 or in the first six months of 2013. The core deposit intangible asset is amortized using the double declining balance method over a weighted average estimated life of nine years and is not estimated to have a significant residual value. During the three and six month periods ending June 30, 2013, the Corporation recorded intangible amortization expense totaling $73,000 and $145,000, respectively, compared to $93,000 and $186,000, respectively, for the same periods in the prior year.
