The Bancorp established a goodwill balance totaling $8.2 million with the acquisitions of First Personal, First Federal and Liberty Savings. Goodwill of $5.4 million, $2.0 million, and $804 thousand were established with the acquisition of First Personal, First Federal, and Liberty Savings, respectively. 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 $8.2 million and $2.8 million as of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively.

 

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. 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. A core deposit intangible of $3.0 million for the acquisition of First Personal was established and is being amortized over 6.4 years on a straight line basis. The table below summarizes the annual amortization:

 

 

For the First Personal acquisition, as part of the fair value of certificates of deposit, a fair value premium was established of $133 thousand that is being amortized over 8 months on a straight line basis. Approximately $32 thousand of amortization was taken as expense during the nine months ended September 30, 2018. It is estimated that an additional $48 thousand of amortization will occur during 2018 and an additional $53 thousand of amortization will occur during 2019.

 

As part of the First Personal acquisition, the Bancorp acquired First Personal Statutory Trust I. NWIN guarantees the payment of distributions on the trust preferred securities issued by First Personal Statutory Trust I. First Personal Statutory Trust I issued $4.124 million in trust preferred securities in May 2004. The trust preferred securities carry a variable rate of interest priced at the three-month LIBOR plus 275 basis points, payable quarterly and maturing on June 17, 2034. Proceeds from the issuance of these securities were used to purchase junior subordinated debentures with the same financial terms as the trust preferred securities issued by First Personal Statutory Trust I. Management of the Bancorp has determined that the continued maintenance of the trust preferred securities issued by First Personal Statutory Trust I and the corresponding junior subordinated debentures are unnecessary to the Bancorp’s ongoing operations. As a result, the Bancorp’s board of directors has approved the redemption of the junior subordinated debentures, which also will result in the trustee of the First Personal Statutory Trust I redeeming all $4.124 million of the trust preferred securities. The junior subordinated debentures and trust preferred securities will be redeemed on or before December 31, 2018, and therefore, the fair value of the trust preferred securities approximated their carrying value.
