A progression of the balance for goodwill follows:


Years Ended December 31, (in thousands)	2015		2014		2013

Beginning of year	$	10,168	$	10,168	$	10,168
Acquired goodwill		—		—		—
Impairment		—		—		—
End of year	$	10,168	$	10,168	$	10,168

The goodwill balance relates entirely to the Company’s Core Banking operations. The Bank did not record any goodwill associated with its 2012 FDIC-assisted acquisitions.

Impairment exists when a reporting unit’s carrying value of goodwill exceeds its fair value. At December 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company’s Core Banking reporting unit had positive equity and the Company elected to perform a qualitative assessment to determine if it was more-likely-than-not that the fair value of the reporting unit exceeded its carrying value, including goodwill. The qualitative assessment indicated that it was not more-likely-than-not that the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeded its fair value. Therefore, the Company did not complete the two-step impairment test as of December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013.

All of the Company’s core deposit intangibles were fully amortized as of December 31, 2013. Aggregate core deposit intangible amortization expense follows:
