The core deposit intangibles were amortized to expense principally on the straight-line method, over a period of six years. The amortization period for the core deposit intangibles related to Vision Bank was accelerated in the first quarter of 2012 due to the pending sale of the Vision Bank business to Centennial Bank. Core deposit intangibles were fully amortized at December 31, 2013, and thus there was no amortization expense in 2014. Core deposit intangible amortization expense was $337,000 in 2013 and $2.2 million in 2012.
