Note 8
GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLES
At December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company had goodwill of $
91.8
 
million.
 
Goodwill is tested for impairment on an annual
basis, or more often if impairment indicators exist.
 
Testing allows for a qualitative assessment
 
of goodwill impairment indicators.
 
If the assessment indicates that impairment has more than likely occurred, the
 
Company must compare the estimated fair value of
the reporting unit to its carrying amount.
 
If the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeds its estimated fair value, an
impairment charge is recorded equal to the excess.
On April 30, 2021, CCSW acquired substantially all of the assets of Strategic Wealth
 
Group, LLC (“SWG”), including advisory,
service, and insurance carrier agreements, and the assignment of all related revenues
 
thereof. Under the terms of the purchase
agreement, SWG principles became officers of CCSW and will
 
continue the operation of their
five
 
offices in South Georgia
offering wealth management services and comprehensive
 
risk management and asset protection services for individuals and
businesses.
CCBG paid $
4.5
 
million in cash consideration and recorded goodwill of $
2.8
 
million and a customer relationship
intangible asset (
10 year
 
life) of $
1.6
 
million.
 
Amortization expense related to the customer relationship intangible
 
totaled $
0.2
million in each of 2023 and 2022.
 
The intangible asset balance as of December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 was $
1.2
million and $
1.3
 
million, respectively. The
 
estimated amortization expense for each of the eight succeeding fiscal years is $
0.2
million per year.
During the fourth quarter of 2023, the Company performed its annual goodwill
 
impairment testing and determined that
no
goodwill impairment existed at December 31, 2023 and
no
 
goodwill impairment existed at December 31, 2022.
 
The Company
will continue to evaluate goodwill for impairment as defined by ASC Topic
 
350.
