Intangible Assets And Goodwill

NOTE 4 — INTANGIBLE ASSETS AND GOODWILL

The Company conducted its annual impairment test of goodwill as of June 30, 2016 and determined that there was no impairment. The Company also tests its intangible assets and goodwill between the annual impairment test if events occur or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of the Company or its assets below their carrying amounts. For intangible assets subject to amortization, the Company performs its impairment test when indicators, such as reductions in demand or significant economic slowdowns, are present. No events have occurred that triggered further impairment testing of the Company’s intangible assets and goodwill during the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015.

Amortization expense for the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015, and 2014, totaled $51,000, $63,000, and $69,000, respectively.

The following table presents the details of the Company’s intangible assets, related accumulated amortization and goodwill (in thousands):
