Goodwill And Intangible Assets [Abstract]

6. 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 performed each year the Company has recorded no impairment charges to date.

Core deposit intangible assets are being amortized over the period of expected benefit, which ranges from 4 to 14 years. In connection with the First Market Bank acquisition, the Company recorded $26.4 million of core deposit intangible, $1.2 million of trademark intangible, and $1.1 million in goodwill. None of the goodwill recognized will be deductible for income tax purposes. The core deposit intangible on that acquisition is being amortized over an average of 4.3 years using an accelerated method and the trademark intangible is being amortized over three years using the straight-line method.

In the recent acquisition of the Harrisonburg branch, the Company recorded $1.8 million in goodwill and $9,500 of core deposit intangible. The goodwill is deductible for tax purposes.

Based on the annual testing during the second quarter of each year and the absence of impairment indicators during the quarter ended December 31, 2011, the Company has recorded no impairment charges to date for goodwill or intangible assets.

Information concerning goodwill and intangible assets for years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 is presented in the following table (dollars in thousands):


	Gross Carrying Value		Accumulated Amortization		Net Carrying Value
December 31, 2011
Amortizable core deposit intangibles	$	46,615	$	25,901	$	20,714
Unamortizable goodwill		59,742		342		59,400
Trademark intangible		1,200		767		433

December 31, 2010
Amortizable core deposit intangibles	$	46,615	$	19,788	$	26,827
Unamortizable goodwill		57,909		342		57,567
Trademark intangible		1,200		367		833

Amortization expense of core deposit intangibles for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009 totaled $6.1 million, $7.3 million and $1.9 million, respectively. Amortization expense for the year ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, included amortization of the trademark intangibles of $400,000 and $367,000, respectively. The Company had no trademark intangible in 2009. The Harrisonburg branch core deposit intangible of $9,500 was expensed in the second quarter of 2011. As of December 31, 2011, the estimated remaining amortization expense of core deposit and trademark intangibles for each of the five succeeding fiscal years is as follows for the years ending (dollars in thousands):


2012	$	5,336
2013		3,830
2014		2,898
2015		2,463
2016		1,862
Thereafter		4,758

Total estimated amortization expense	$	21,147
