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. Although the Company had an FDIC-assisted acquisition during the quarter ended September 30, 2012, no additional goodwill was recorded, as the transaction resulted in a bargain purchase gain.

Core deposit premiums are periodically evaluated as to the recoverability of their carrying value.  An additional core deposit premium of approximately $1.2 million was recorded as part of the FDIC-assisted acquisition during the quarter, and will be amortized over a ten year period.

Goodwill, along with the carrying basis and accumulated amortization of core deposit premiums (net of core deposit premiums that were fully amortized) at September 30, 2012, and December 31, 2011, were as follows:
