Goodwill And Other Intangible Assets [Abstract]

(7.) GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS

Goodwill

Goodwill is not amortized but, instead, is subject to impairment tests on at least an annual basis, and more frequently if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount. The Company performs its annual impairment test of goodwill as of September 30 of each year. See Note 1 for the Company's accounting policy for goodwill and other intangible assets.

The Company performed a qualitative assessment of goodwill to determine if it was more likely than not that the fair value of any of its reporting units was less than its carrying value. In performing a qualitative analysis, factors considered include, but are not limited to, business strategy, financial performance and market and regulatory dynamics. Based on its assessment, the Company concluded it was more likely than not that the fair value of its Insurance reporting unit was less than its carrying value. Accordingly, the Company performed a Step 1 review for possible goodwill impairment.

Under Step 1 of the goodwill impairment review, the fair value of the Insurance reporting unit was calculated using income and market-based approaches. Under Step 1, it was determined that the carrying value of our Insurance reporting unit exceeded its fair value. For Step 2, the implied fair value of the Insurance reporting unit's goodwill was compared with the carrying amount of the goodwill for the Insurance reporting unit. Based on this assessment, the Company recorded a goodwill impairment charge related to the Insurance reporting unit of $751 thousand during the quarter ended December 31, 2015.

The results of the qualitative assessment for 2014 indicated that it was not more likely than not that the fair value of any of the Company's reporting units was less than its carrying value. Consequently, no additional quantitative two-step impairment test was required, and no impairment was recorded in 2014.

Declines in the market value of the Company's publicly traded stock price or declines in the Company's ability to generate future cash flows may increase the potential that goodwill recorded on the Company's consolidated statement of financial condition be designated as impaired and that the Company may incur a goodwill write-down in the future.

The change in the balance for goodwill during the years ended December 31 was as follows (in thousands):


		Banking		Insurance			Total
Balance, January 1, 2014	$	48,536	$	-		$	48,536
Acquisition		-		12,617			12,617
Balance, December 31, 2014		48,536		12,617			61,153
Impairment		-		(751	)		(751	)
Balance, December 31, 2015	$	48,536	$	11,866		$	60,402

Other Intangible Assets

The Company has other intangible assets that are amortized, consisting of core deposit intangibles and other intangibles. Changes in the gross carrying amount, accumulated amortization and net book value for the years ended December 31 were as follows (in thousands):


		2015				2014
Core deposit intangibles:
Gross carrying amount	$	2,042			$	2,042
Accumulated amortization		(1,213		)		(917	)
Net book value		$	829		$	1,125
Amortization during the year		$	296		$	341

Accumulated amortization		(925		)		(279	)
Net book value	$	5,715			$	6,361
Amortization during the year		$	646		$	279

Core deposit intangible amortization expense was $387 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2013. Estimated amortization expense of other intangible assets for each of the next five years is as follows:


2016	$	864
2017		778

2019		611
