Net Core Deposit Intangibles:  As of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the Company had net core deposit intangibles of $0.4 million and $0.7 million, respectively.  Amortization expense for the first six months of 2011 and 2010 was approximately $0.4 million and $1.4 million, respectively.  Estimated annual amortization expense for 2011 is $0.5 million.  All of our core deposit intangibles will be fully amortized in January 2013.

Goodwill:  As of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the Company had goodwill, net of accumulated amortization, of $84.8 million.  

Goodwill is tested for impairment on an annual basis, or more often if impairment indicators exist.  A goodwill impairment test consists of two steps.  Step One compares the estimated fair value of the reporting unit to its carrying amount.  If the carrying amount exceeds the estimated fair value, Step Two is performed by comparing the fair value of the reporting unit’s implied goodwill to the carrying value of goodwill.  If the carrying value of the reporting unit’s goodwill exceeds the estimated fair value, an impairment charge is recorded equal to the excess.
As of June 30, 2011, the book value of the Company’s equity exceeded its market capitalization, and as such the Company performed goodwill impairment testing.  The Step One test indicated that the carrying amount (including goodwill) of the Company’s reporting unit exceeded its estimated fair value.  The Step Two test indicated the estimated fair value of our reporting unit’s implied goodwill exceeded its carrying amount.  Based on the results of the Step Two analysis, the Company concluded that goodwill was not impaired as of June 30, 2011.  The Company will continue to test goodwill as defined by ASC Topic 350.

Other:  As of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the Company had a customer relationship intangible asset, net of accumulated amortization, of $0.5 million and $0.6 million, respectively.  This intangible asset was recorded as a result of the March 2004 acquisition of trust customer relationships.  Amortization expense for the first six months of 2011 and 2010 was approximately $96,000.  Estimated annual amortization expense is approximately $191,000 based on use of a 10-year useful life.
