Included in the balance of timber and timberlands are values allocated to Canadian forest licenses in the purchase price allocations for Forex, Peace Valley OSB, and the assets of Evans Forest Products. The initial value of these licenses was $91.3 million and are amortized over the estimated useful life of twenty to twenty-five years.

During 2017, we purchased the stock of Barrier International, Inc. for $22.0 million (including cash acquired). This purchase results in us recording intangible assets of $17.4 million (comprised of $11.0 million of developed technology and $6.4 million of goodwill) based upon an independent appraisal. The developed technology will be amortized over a 20 year period.

Amortization of the above intangible assets over the next five years is as follows:
