Note 6 – Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
 
The Bancorp established a goodwill balance of approximately $1.6 million with the acquisition of First Federal. In addition to goodwill, a core deposit intangible of $93 thousand was established and is being amortized over 7.9 years on a straight line basis. Approximately $9 thousand of amortization was taken during the year ended December 31, 2014. It is estimated that $12 thousand of amortization will occur during 2015 and the remaining amount will be equally amortized through to the first quarter of 2022.
 
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. Goodwill totaled $1.6 million at December 31, 2014 and there was no goodwill at December 31, 2013.
