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)	Commercial Banking		Wealth Management Services			Total
Balance at December 31, 2016		$22,591		$41,468			$64,059
Impairment	—		(150		)	(150		)
Balance at December 31, 2017		$22,591		$41,318			$63,909

The balance of goodwill in the Commercial Banking segment arose from the acquisition of First Financial Corp. in 2002. The balance of goodwill in the Wealth Management Services segment arose from the 2005 acquisition of Weston Financial and its broker-dealer and insurance agency subsidiaries, as well as the 2015 acquisition of Halsey.

As the result of a decision that reduced the business activities of WSC, a broker-dealer subsidiary that largely conducted mutual fund transactions primarily for Weston Financial clients, the carrying value of WSC’s goodwill was assessed for impairment during the second quarter of 2017. As a result of management’s assessment, an impairment charge of $150 thousand was recognized in the second quarter of 2017 and classified in other expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Income.

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, 2017				December 31, 2016
	Advisory Contracts		Non-compete Agreements		Advisory Contracts		Non-compete Agreements
Gross carrying amount		$20,803		$369		$20,803		$369
Accumulated amortization	11,663		369		10,648		349
Net amount		$9,140		$—		$10,155		$20

The balance of intangible assets at December 31, 2017 includes wealth management advisory contracts resulting from the Weston Financial acquisition in 2005, as well as wealth management advisory contracts 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 resulting from the acquisition of Halsey are being amortized on a straight-line basis over a 15-year life.

Amortization expense for the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016, and 2015, amounted to $1.0 million, $1.3 million and $904 thousand, respectively.

The following table presents estimated annual amortization expense for intangible assets at December 31, 2017:
