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

The Bancorp established an aggregate goodwill balance of $2.6 million with the acquisitions of First Federal and Liberty. Goodwill of $2.0 million was established with the acquisition of First Federal and goodwill of $573 thousand was established with the acquisition of Liberty. 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. During the first quarter of 2015, initial estimates of fair values related to a pool of loans with a single borrower were determined to be lower than originally estimated. This change, net of related estimated adjustments, led to the addition of $377 thousand to goodwill and $423 thousand to purchased credit impaired loan balances during the period ended March 31, 2015. Goodwill totaled $2.6 million at September 30, 2015 and $1.6 million at September 30, 2014.

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 $9 thousand of amortization was taken during the nine months ended September 30, 2015. It is estimated that $3 thousand of additional amortization will occur during 2015 and the remaining amount will be equally amortized through the first quarter of 2022. A core deposit intangible of $471 thousand for the acquisition of Liberty was established and is being amortized over 8.2 years on a straight line basis. Approximately $14 thousand of amortization was taken during the nine months ended September 30, 2015. It is estimated that $14 thousand of additional amortization will occur during 2015 and the remaining amount will be equally amortized through 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 loans, including home equity lines of credit, of $1.1 million that is being accreted over 55 months on a straight line basis. Approximately $168 thousand of accretion was taken into income for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, and it is estimated that $49 thousand of accrection will occur during the remainder of 2015. It is estimated that $197 thousand of accretion will occur annually through 2017, and accretion of $164 thousand will occur during 2018. Similarly, for the Liberty acquisition, as part of the fair value of loans receivable, a net fair value discount was established for residential real estate loans, including home equity lines of credit, of $1.2 million that is being accreted over 44 months on a straight line basis. Approximately $79 thousand of accretion was taken into income for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, and it is estimated that $79 thousand of accrection will occur during the remainder of 2015. It is estimated that $317 thousand of accretion will occur annually through 2018, and accretion of $53 thousand will occur during 2019.

For the First Federal acquisition, as part of the fair value of certificates of deposit, a fair value premium was established of $276 thousand that is being amortized over 17 months on a straight line basis. Approximately $127 thousand of amortization was taken as expense during the nine months ended September 30, 2015. No additional amortization will occur during 2015. For the Liberty acquisition, as part of the fair value of certificates of deposit, a fair value premium was established of $124 thousand that is being amortized over 17 months on a straight line basis. Approximately $22 thousand of amortization was taken as expense during the nine months ended September 30, 2015. It is estimated that an additional $22 thousand of amortization will occur during 2015. It is estimated that an additional $80 thousand of amortization will occur during 2016.
