NOTE 14 — GOODWILL

Goodwill resulted from the acquisition of the Pocono Community Bank in November 2007 and of certain fixed and operating assets acquired and deposit liabilities assumed of the branch of another financial institution in Danville, Pennsylvania, in January 2004. Such goodwill represents the excess cost of the acquired assets relative to the assets’ fair value at the dates of acquisition. In accordance with current accounting standards, goodwill is not amortized. Goodwill totaled $0 at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

​

When applicable, impairment testing is performed on an annual basis, using either a qualitative or quantitative approach. The assumptions used in the impairment test of goodwill are susceptible to change based on changes in economic conditions and other factors, including our stock price. Any change in the assumptions utilized to determine the carrying value of goodwill could adversely affect our results of operations.

Goodwill was evaluated for impairment using a qualitative impairment test at December 31, 2023, and it was determined that goodwill was not impaired. Due primarily to the decrease in the Company’s stock price during the first quarter of 2024 as a triggering event, management evaluated the need for an interim goodwill impairment analysis. The decrease prompted the Company to assess its goodwill utilizing a quantitative impairment test and determined it was more likely than not the fair value of the Company was less than the carrying amount as of March 31, 2024. Based on

the results of the impairment test, the Company recorded a goodwill impairment charge of $19,133,000 effective March 31, 2024.
