Note 7 – Intangibles and Acquisition Related Accounting

The Bancorp established a goodwill balance totaling $11.1 million with the acquisitions of AJSB, First Personal, First Federal, and Liberty Savings. Goodwill of $2.9 million, $5.4 million, $2.0 million, and $804 thousand were established with the acquisition of AJSB, First Personal, First Federal, and Liberty Savings, respectively. Goodwill is tested annually for impairment, or when circumstances or events are deemed significant enough to test 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. As a result of the COVID-19 outbreak, and its broad effects on the economy, the Bancorp deemed it necessary to perform an interim impairment test of goodwill as of June 30, 2020. As part of the impairment test, the Bancorp enlisted a third party expert to perform a quantitative goodwill valuation analysis.  The analysis showed the implied fair value of goodwill was higher than its carrying value and no impairment was necessary. During the third quarter, the Bancorp performed an internal analysis, noting no impairment was necessary. The Bancorp will perform their annual impairment test as of December 31, 2020, and depending on current market conditions, the Bancorp will consider the use of a third party expert to perform another quantitative goodwill valuation analysis.Goodwill totaled $11.1 million as of September 30, 2020, and December 31, 2019.
