Goodwill and Intangible Assets [Abstract]

9.	GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS

The Company follows ASC 350, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, in accounting for goodwill and intangible assets subsequent to initial recognition. The provisions of this section discontinued the amortization of goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives but require an impairment review at least annually and more frequently if certain impairment indicators are evident. Based on the annual testing during the second quarter of each year and the absence of impairment indicators during the quarter ended September 30, 2012, the Company has recorded no impairment charges to date for goodwill or intangible assets.

Core deposit intangible assets are being amortized over the period of expected benefit, which ranges from 4 to 14 years. The acquired trademark intangible is included as a component of other assets in the consolidated balance sheet.

Information concerning goodwill and intangible assets is presented in the following table (in thousands):
