Use of Estimates	2. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Estimates that are particularly susceptible to change in the near term are used in connection with the determination of the allowance for credit losses, the evaluation of goodwill for impairment, the review of the need for a valuation allowance of the Company’s deferred tax assets, and the fair value of financial instruments. Goodwill represents the excess purchase price over the value assigned to tangible and identifiable intangible assets, and liabilities assumed of business acquired. Goodwill is presumed to have an indefinite life and is tested annually for impairment, or more frequently when certain conditions are met. If the fair value of the reporting unit is greater than the carrying value, no further evaluation is required. If the fair value of the reporting unit is less than the carrying value, further evaluation would be required to compare the fair value of the reporting unit to the carrying value and determine if impairment is required. Quoted market prices in active markets are the best evidence of fair value and are to be used as the basis for measurement, when available. Other acceptable valuation methods include an asset approach, which determines a fair value based upon the value of assets net of liabilities, an income approach, which determines fair value using one or more methods that convert anticipated economic benefits into a present single amount, and a market approach, which determines a fair value based on the similar businesses that have been sold. At June 30, 2023, the book value of our reporting unit exceeded market capitalization, however the fair value of our reporting unit is not driven solely by the market price of our stock. As described above, the fair value can also be derived using an asset approach, an income approach and a market approach, or a combination of these techniques. At June 30, 2023, the Company used an income approach and a market approach to determine the fair value of the reporting unit. These valuation techniques consider several other factors beyond our market capitalization, such as the estimated future cash flows of our reporting unit, the discount rate used to present value such cash flows and the market multiples of comparable companies. Changes to input assumptions used in the analysis could result in materially different evaluations of goodwill impairment. We qualitatively assess whether the carrying value of our reporting unit exceeds fair value. If this qualitative assessment determines that it is more likely than not that the carrying value of our reporting unit exceeds fair value, further quantitative evaluation for impairment would be required to compare the fair value of the reporting unit to the carrying value and determine if impairment is required. In performing the goodwill impairment testing, the Company has identified a single reporting unit. The Company performed a quantitative assessment in reviewing the carrying value of goodwill as of December 31, 2022, which was repeated in the second quarter of 2023, concluding that there was no goodwill impairment at June 30, 2023. At June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the carrying amount of goodwill totaled $17.6 million at each period. The identification of additional reporting units, the use of other valuation techniques and/or changes to input assumptions used in the analysis could result in materially different evaluations of goodwill impairment.

2. Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period.
