There are $455.0 million of indefinite life intangible assets at October 4, 2014 and December 28, 2013. These assets are not being amortized and are separately identified from goodwill. These trademarks are classified as indefinite-lived because they are well established brands, many older than forty years old with a long history and well defined markets. In addition, we are continuing to use these brands both in their original markets and throughout our expansion territories. We believe these factors support an indefinite-life assignment. During the fourth quarter each year, we perform an annual impairment analysis to determine if the trademarks are realizing the expected economic benefits. In the event this analysis determines the fair value of the assets to be below carrying value an impairment charge would result.

Estimated amortization of intangibles for each of the next five years is as follows (amounts in thousands):


	Amortization of Intangibles
Remainder of 2014	$	2,883
2015	$	11,478
2016	$	11,052
2017	$	10,580
2018	$	10,432
