Goodwill and Intangible Assets Disclosure [Abstract]

Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of an acquisition over the fair value of the net assets acquired. Other intangible assets represent purchased assets that lack physical substance but can be distinguished from goodwill because of contractual or other legal rights. Intangible assets that have finite lives, such as core deposit intangibles, customer relationship intangibles and renewal lists, are amortized over their estimated useful lives and subject to periodic impairment testing. Core deposit intangibles are primarily amortized over ten years using accelerated methods. Customer renewal lists are amortized over their estimated useful lives which range from eight to thirteen years.

This acquisition of New Windsor resulted in goodwill of approximately $13,272,000 and generated $2,418,000 in core deposit intangibles.

Combining goodwill resulting from this transaction with existing goodwill from the 2005 RIG purchase of $6,308,000, total goodwill included in the Corporation’s consolidated statement of condition is $19,580,000. Goodwill is not deductible for federal income tax purposes. Goodwill, which has an indefinite useful life, is evaluated for impairment annually and is evaluated for impairment more frequently if events and circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired.

The carrying value and accumulated amortization of the intangible assets (RIG customer lists and New Windsor core deposit intangibles) are as follows:



In thousands	Gross carrying amount		Accumulated amortization
RIG amortized intangible assets	$	7,263	$	6,372
New Windsor core deposit intangibles	2,418		330

The RIG intangible assets are being amortized over 10 years on a straight line basis. The New Windsor core deposit intangible is being amortized using a sum of the year’s method over a 10-year period.

Goodwill is subject to impairment testing at the reporting unit level, which must be conducted at least annually. The Corporation performs impairment testing during the fourth quarter of each year, or more frequently if impairment indicators exist. We also continue to monitor other intangibles for impairment and to evaluate carrying amounts, as necessary.
