Goodwill and Intangible Assets Disclosure [Abstract]

Note 6 - Goodwill and Intangibles

Goodwill is recorded in the segment where it was generated by acquisitions. Goodwill in the amount of $18,851 was recorded in 2011 as a result of an acquisition. There have been no changes to the value of goodwill since 2011. Goodwill prior to 2011 was zero. Purchased goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets are tested annually for impairment unless indicators are present that would require an earlier test.

During the fourth quarter of 2013, the Company completed its annual goodwill and intangible assets impairment tests and no impairment was indicated. During the fourth quarter of 2014, the Company wrote off the intangible assets of CCT in connection with the sale of its interest in the subsidiary. The Company also wrote off approximately $13,636 of fully amortized intangible assets determined to no longer hold value at the time of its intangible asset impairment review.

The following table presents intangible assets and accumulated amortization balances as of December 31, 2013 and 2014:
