Goodwill and Intangible Assets Disclosure [Text Block]

NOTE 6: GOODWILL AND CORE DEPOSIT PREMIUMS

Goodwill is tested annually, or more than annually, if circumstances warrant, for impairment. If the implied fair value of goodwill is lower than its carrying amount, goodwill impairment is indicated and goodwill is written down to its implied fair value. Subsequent increases in goodwill value are not recognized in the financial statements.

Core deposit premiums are periodically evaluated as to the recoverability of their carrying value.

Goodwill, along with the carrying basis and accumulated amortization of core deposit premiums (net of core deposit premiums that were fully amortized) at March 31, 2012, and December 31, 2011, were as follows:

(In thousands)	March 31, 2012			December 31, 2011

Goodwill	$	60,605		$	60,605

Core deposit premiums:
Gross carrying amount	$	3,069		$	3,069
Accumulated amortization		(1,564	)		(1,490	)

Net core deposit premiums	$	1,505		$	1,579

Core deposit premium amortization expense recorded for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, was $74,000 and $224,000, respectively. The Company’s estimated remaining amortization expense on core deposit premiums as of March 31, 2012, is as follows:

(In thousands)	Year	Amortization Expense

	Remainder of 2012	$	225
	2013		261
	2014		157
	2015		150
	2016		148
	Thereafter		564

	Total	$	1,505
