ASC 350 requires that goodwill be tested for impairment at the reporting unit level on an annual basis and between annual tests if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of the reporting unit below its carrying value. Goodwill represents the purchase price in excess of the net amount assigned to assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Goodwill and other acquired intangible assets with indefinite lives were tested for impairment as of October 31, 2011, the Company's annual impairment date. In 2011, there were no triggering events or change in circumstances that would have required a review other than as of our annual test date. The Company concluded that the fair value of each of the reporting units and indefinite-lived intangible assets was in excess of the carrying value as of October 31, 2011. However, a 10% decrease in the fair value of the Water reporting unit within the Fluid & Metering Technologies segment could potentially result in a goodwill impairment charge. The total goodwill balance of the Water reporting unit as of October 31, 2011 was $222.3 million. The following table provides the gross carrying value and accumulated amortization for each major class of intangible asset at December 31, 2011 and 2010:
|  | At December 31, 2011 |  |  |  |  |  | At December 31, 2010 |

The unamortized trade names are indefinite lived intangible assets which are tested for impairment on an annual basis or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired. Amortization of intangible assets was $35.5 million, $25.7 million and $24.5 million in 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Amortization expense for each of the next five years is estimated to be approximately $39.9 million annually.
