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 three months of 2019, 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, 2018, 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 March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018:
| At March 31, 2019 |  |  |  | At December 31, 2018

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. 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 three months of 2019, 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 $9.0 million and $10.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Based on the intangible asset balances as of March 31, 2019, amortization expense is expected to approximate $26.9 million for the remaining nine months of 2019, $35.1 million in 2020, $33.9 million in 2021, $32.1 million in 2022 and $29.0 million in 2023.
