Note 7 – Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

The Company records as goodwill the fair value of the consideration transferred, plus the fair value of any noncontrolling interests in the acquiree, over the fair value of the net assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date. Impairment testing is performed annually, as well as when an event triggering impairment may have occurred. In testing goodwill for impairment, the Company must first decide if circumstances lead to a determination that it is not more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value. If, after assessing, it concludes that it is not more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is greater than its carrying value, then no further testing is required and the goodwill is not impaired. The Company performed its annual analysis for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and no indications of impairment were noted.

Core deposit intangibles resulting from the MainStreet Bankshares, Inc. acquisition in January 2015 were $1.8 million and are being amortized on an accelerated basis over 120 months. Core deposit intangibles resulting from the acquisition of HomeTown Bankshares Corporation ("Hometown") in April 2019 were $8.2 million and are being amortized on an accelerated basis over 120 months.
