ASC 350, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, 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. In the first nine months of 2018, there were no events or circumstances that would have required an interim impairment test. Annually, on October 31, goodwill and other acquired intangible assets with indefinite lives are tested for impairment. Based on the results of our annual impairment test at October 31, 2017, all reporting units had fair values in excess of their carrying values. The following table provides the gross carrying value and accumulated amortization for each major class of intangible asset at September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017:
| At September 30, 2018 |  |  |  | At December 31, 2017

On June 22, 2018, the Company acquired the intellectual property assets of Phantom Controls (“Phantom”) for cash consideration of $4.0 million. The operational capabilities and innovative pump operation of Phantom’s technology complements our existing water-flow expertise of Hale, Akron Brass and Class 1 to improve fire ground safety and reduce operational complexity during mission critical response. This acquisition of intellectual property assets did not meet the definition of a business under ASU 2017-01 and thus the Company recorded the entire purchase price to the Unpatented technology class of intangible assets on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Banjo trade name and the Akron Brass trade name are indefinite-lived intangible assets which are tested for impairment on an annual basis in accordance with ASC 350 or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the assets might be impaired. In the first nine months of 2018, there were no events or circumstances that would have required an interim impairment test. The Company uses the relief-from-royalty method, a form of the income approach, to determine the fair value of these trade names. The relief-from-royalty method is dependent on a number of significant management assumptions, including estimates of revenues, royalty rates and discount rates. Amortization of intangible assets was $8.8 million and $29.5 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively. Amortization of intangible assets was $11.5 million and $35.4 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively. Based on the intangible asset balances as of September 30, 2018, amortization expense is expected to approximate $9.0 million for the remaining three months of 2018, $36.4 million in 2019, $35.2 million in 2020, $34.3 million in 2021 and $32.6 million in 2022.
