Goodwill and Intangible Assets Disclosure [Abstract]

The following table presents the carrying value of goodwill at the reporting unit (or business segment) level:



(Dollars in thousands)	December 31, 2015		December 31, 2014
Commercial Banking Segment		$22,591		$22,591
Wealth Management Services Segment	41,468		35,523
Total		$64,059		$58,114

The balance of goodwill in the Commercial Banking segment at December 31, 2015 reflects goodwill that arose from the acquisition of First Financial Corp. in 2002. The balance of goodwill in the Wealth Management Services segment at December 31, 2015 reflects goodwill of $35.5 million that arose from the 2005 acquisition of Weston Financial and $5.9 million resulting from the 2015 acquisition of Halsey.

Intangible assets consist of wealth management advisory contracts and non-compete agreements. The following table presents the components of intangible assets:



(Dollars in thousands)	December 31, 2015				December 31, 2014
	Advisory Contracts		Non-compete Agreements		Advisory Contracts		Non-compete Agreements
Gross carrying amount		$20,803		$369		$13,657		$—
Accumulated amortization	9,610		102		8,808		—
Net amount		$11,193		$267		$4,849		$—

The balance of intangible assets at December 31, 2015 includes wealth management advisory contracts resulting from the Weston Financial acquisition in 2005, as well as the addition of wealth management advisory contracts and non-compete agreements with gross carrying amounts of $7.1 million and $369 thousand, respectively, resulting from the acquisition of Halsey in 2015.

The wealth management advisory contracts resulting from the Weston Financial acquisition are being amortized over a 20-year life using a declining balance method, based on expected attrition for the current customer base derived from historical runoff data. The wealth management advisory contracts and non-compete agreements resulting from the acquisition of Halsey are being amortized on a straight-line basis over a 15-year and 18-month life, respectively.

Amortization expense for the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014, and 2013, amounted to $904 thousand, $644 thousand and $680 thousand, respectively.
