The components of intangible assets at December 31, 2012 and 2011 were as follows:



(Dollars in thousands)	Core Deposits		Advisory Contracts		Non-compete Agreements		Total
December 31, 2012
Gross carrying amount		$2,997		$13,657		$1,147		$17,801
Accumulated amortization	2,997		7,484		1,147		11,628
Net amount		$—		$6,173		$—		$6,173

December 31, 2011
Gross carrying amount		$2,997		$13,657		$1,147		$17,801
Accumulated amortization	2,997		6,756		1,147		10,900
Net amount		$—		$6,901		$—		$6,901

The value attributable to the core deposit intangible (“CDI”) is a function of the estimated attrition of the core deposit accounts, and the expected cost savings associated with the use of the existing core deposit base rather than alternative funding sources.

The value attributed to the wealth management advisory contracts was based on the time period over which the advisory contracts are expected to generate economic benefits. The intangible values of advisory contracts are being amortized over a 20-year life using a declining balance method, based on expected attrition for Weston Financial’s current customer base derived from historical runoff data. The amortization schedule is based on the anticipated future customer runoff rate.

The value attributable to the Weston Financial non-compete agreements was based on the expected receipt of future economic benefits related to provisions in the non-compete agreements that restrict competitive behavior. The intangible value of non-compete agreements was amortized on a straight-line basis over the six-year contractual lives of the agreements, which ended in 2011.

For the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011, and 2010, amortization expense of intangible assets amounted to $ $728 thousand, $951 thousand and $1.1 million.

Estimated annual amortization expense for advisory contracts is as follows:
