Goodwill resulted from

five

acquisitions. During

2018,

the Corporation recorded

$9.2

million of goodwill related to the acquisition of CFB (see Note

). Goodwill represents the excess of the total purchase price paid for the acquisitions over the fair value of the identifiable 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. Impairment exists when a reporting unit’s carrying amount exceeds its fair value. The Corporation has selected

November 30

as the date to perform the annual impairment test.

goodwill impairment charges were recorded in

2018

2017.

Goodwill is the only intangible asset with an indefinite life on the Corporation’s balance sheet.

The core deposit intangible asset, resulting from

three

acquisitions, is amortized over a weighted average estimated life of the related deposits and is

not

estimated to have a significant residual value. The Corporation recorded intangible amortization expense totaling

$266,000

and

$246,000

2018

and

2017,

respectively.

The estimated amortization expense of the core deposit intangible for the years ending

December 31

is as follows:

(Dollar amounts in thousands)	Amortization

2019	$	176
2020		164
