Note 7 - Goodwill, Other Intangible Assets, and Acquisition Related Accounting

The Bancorp established a goodwill balance totaling $2.8 million with the acquisitions of First Federal Savings & Loan (First Federal) and Liberty Savings Bank (Liberty Savings). Goodwill of $2.0 million was established with the acquisition of First Federal and goodwill of $804 thousand was established with the acquisition of Liberty Savings. Goodwill is tested annually for impairment. Goodwill arising from business combinations represents the value attributable to unidentifiable intangible assets in the business acquired. The Bancorp’s goodwill relates to the value inherent in the banking industry and that value is dependent upon the ability of the Bancorp to provide quality, cost effective banking services in a competitive marketplace. If the implied fair value of goodwill is lower than its carrying amount, goodwill impairment is indicated and goodwill is written down to its implied fair value. There has not been any impairment of goodwill identified or recorded. Goodwill totaled $2.8 million at June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017.

In addition to goodwill, a core deposit intangible of $93 thousand for the acquisition of First Federal was established and is being amortized over 7.9 years on a straight line basis. Approximately $6 thousand of amortization was taken during the six months ended June 30, 2018 and June 30, 2017. It is estimated that an additional $6 thousand of additional amortization will occur during 2018, and $12 thousand of additional amortization will occur annually from 2019 to 2021, and the remaining amount will be amortized through to the first quarter of 2022. A core deposit intangible of $471 thousand for the acquisition of Liberty Savings was established and is being amortized over 8.2 years on a straight line basis. Approximately $29 thousand of amortization was taken during the six months ended June 30, 2018 and June 30, 2017. It is estimated that $29 thousand of additional amortization will occur during 2018, and $58 thousand of additional amortization will occur annually from 2019 to 2022, and the remaining amount will be amortized through to the third quarter of 2023.

For the First Federal acquisition, as part of the fair value of loans receivable, a net fair value discount was established for residential real estate, including home equity lines of credit, of $1.1 million that is being accreted over 55 months on a straight line basis. Approximately $70 thousand of accretion was taken into income for the six months ended June 30, 2018, compared to $73 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2017. It is estimated that $90 thousand of additional accretion will occur in 2018. Similarly, for the Liberty Savings acquisition, as part of the fair value of loans receivable, a net fair value discount was established for residential real estate, including home equity lines of credit, of $1.2 million that is being accreted over 44 months on a straight line basis. Approximately $134 thousand of accretion was taken into income for the six months ended June 30, 2018, compared to $152 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2017. It is estimated that $131 thousand of additional accretion will occur in 2018, and accretion of $44 thousand will occur during 2019.
