	December 31, 2023		December 31, 2022

Balance, end of year	$	43,749	$	43,749

Impairment exists when the carrying value of goodwill exceeds its fair value. The Corporation completed its annual goodwill impairment test as of December 31, 2022 and concluded that no impairment charges were required as of that date. During the fourth quarter of 2023, the Corporation elected to change the timing of its annual goodwill impairment test from December 31 to November 30. The selection of November 30 as the annual testing date for the impairment of goodwill is intended to move the testing to a time period outside of the Corporation's annual financial reporting process to allow the Corporation additional time to complete the analysis. The Corporation believes that this change is preferable under the circumstances, and that this change does not accelerate, delay or avoid an impairment charge. The Corporation has also determined that a change in the annual testing date did not result in adjustments to the consolidated financial statements when applied retrospectively.

At November 30, 2023, the Corporation elected to perform a quantitative assessment to determine if it was more likely than not that the fair value exceeded its carrying value, including goodwill. The Corporation engaged a third party valuation firm to assist in performing the quantitative analysis using multiple approaches, reflecting assumptions that were provided and weighted by management. The primary methodology used was the discounted cash flow approach while also considering a market approach of comparing the multiples of the Corporation to multiples of similar public companies and market price with control premiums. In addition, the value relied upon projections and growth rates prepared by management. Based upon the valuation prepared, the quantitative assessment indicated that it was more likely than not that the fair value exceeded its carrying value, resulting in no impairment.

In connection with the formation of Ridge View Bank, a division of the Bank, the Corporation recorded an intangible asset related to naming rights in 2023. The naming rights have an indefinite useful life. The Corporation does not amortize intangible assets with indefinite lives but assesses them for impairment annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate potential impairment.

As of December 31, 2023, the carrying amount of naming rights intangible assets was $125 thousand and no impairment indicators were identified during the year ended December 31, 2023.

Management evaluates events or changes in circumstances that may impact the indefinite useful life assessment of the naming rights intangible asset. If impairment indicators are identified, the Corporation will perform a qualitative or quantitative impairment test, as applicable.
