Note 9 – Intangible Assets and Goodwill

Intangible Assets

The fair values of intangible assets recognized as the result of title insurance agency acquisitions, all Level 3 inputs, are principally based on values obtained from a third-party valuation service. In accordance with ASC 350, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other, management determined that no events or changes in circumstances occurred during 2018 that would indicate the carrying amounts may not be recoverable, and therefore determined that no identifiable intangible assets were impaired during the six-months ended June 30, 2018. Net identifiable intangible assets of $154 thousand were impaired during 2017.

Identifiable intangible assets consist of the following as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017:



(in thousands)	2018			2017
Referral relationships	$	6,416		$	6,416
Non-compete agreements	1,406			1,406

Total	8,382			8,382
Accumulated amortization	(1,700		)	(1,375		)
Identifiable intangible assets, net	$	6,682		$	7,007

The following table provides the estimated aggregate amortization expense for each of the five succeeding fiscal years:

Goodwill and Title Plant

As of June 30, 2018, the Company recognized $4.4 million in goodwill and $690 thousand in a title plant, net of impairments, as the result of title insurance agency acquisitions. The title plant is included with other assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The fair values of goodwill and the title plant, both Level 3 inputs, are principally based on values obtained from a third-party valuation service. In accordance with ASC 350, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other, management determined that no events or changes in circumstances occurred during 2018 that would indicate the carrying amounts may not be recoverable, and therefore determined that neither goodwill nor the title plant were impaired during the six-months ended June 30, 2018. Goodwill of $29 thousand was impaired during 2017.
