NOTE 6:
GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS

Goodwill is tested annually, or more often 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.  Goodwill totaled $108.1 million at December 31, 2014 and $78.5 million at December 31, 2013.  The Company recorded $29.0 million of goodwill during 2014 as a result of its Delta Trust acquisition.  The Company recorded $17.9 million of goodwill during 2013 as a result of its Metropolitan acquisition.  Goodwill impairment was neither indicated nor recorded in 2014, 2013 or 2012.

Core deposit premiums are amortized over a ten year period and are periodically evaluated, at least annually, as to the recoverability of their carrying value.  Core deposit premiums of $4.3 million were recorded in 2014 as part of the Delta Trust acquisition.  Core deposit premiums of $9.8 million were recorded in 2013 as part of the Metropolitan acquisition.

The Delta Trust acquisition included some significant lines of business related to investments, trust and insurance.  The Company recorded $5.1 million of intangible assets related to those acquired lines of business during the third quarter of 2014.  These intangible assets are being amortized over various periods ranging from 10 to 15 years.

On September 30, 2013, the Company acquired a credit card portfolio and recorded Purchased Credit Card Relationships (“PCCR’s”) of $2.1 million.  This intangible asset is being amortized over a five year period.

The Company’s goodwill and other intangibles (carrying basis and accumulated amortization) at December 31, 2014 and 2013 were as follows:
