Goodwill and Intangible Assets Disclosure [Abstract]

Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of acquired net assets under the acquisition method of accounting. The merger with Cornerstone discussed in Note 2 generated $4,166,069 in goodwill on August 31, 2015. Goodwill is reviewed for potential impairment at least annually at the reporting unit level. FASB ASC 350, Goodwill and Other, regarding testing goodwill for impairment provides an entity the option to first perform a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If an entity does a qualitative assessment and determines that this is the case, or if a qualitative assessment is not performed, it is required to perform additional goodwill impairment testing to identify potential goodwill impairment and measure the amount of goodwill impairment loss to be recognized for that reporting unit (if any). Based on a qualitative assessment, if an entity determines that the fair value of a reporting unit is more than its carrying amount, the two-step goodwill impairment test is not required.

Intangible Assets

Finite lived intangible assets of the Company represent a core deposit premium recorded upon the purchase of certain assets and liabilities from other financial institutions. The Company reviews the carrying value of this intangible on an annual basis and on an interim basis if certain events or circumstances indicate that an impairment loss may have been incurred. Management has determined that no impairment has occurred on this asset.
