A portion of the Company's goodwill and other intangible assets reside in the Corporate segment of the business. For purposes of the goodwill impairment testing, these assets are allocated to the reporting units within the Company's operating segments. The Company performs an annual impairment test on goodwill. This annual impairment test is performed in the fourth quarter of the Company's fiscal year. In addition, if an event occurs or circumstances change that indicate that the carrying value may not b e recoverable, the Company will perform an interim impairment test at that time. During the fourth quarter of 2016 in conjunction with the Company’s annual review for impairment we completed step one of the annual goodwill impairment test for the Backfli p reporting unit. Prior to the fourth quarter of 2016, there were no triggering events that would have required the Company to test for impairment. The Company’s evaluation of the current year performance of the Backflip reporting unit was dependent in l arge part on the performance of launches that took place during the fourth quarter. Additionally, during the fourth quarter, the Company revised its expectations regarding the timing of future launches. The first step of the goodwill impairment analysis involved comparing the Backflip carrying value to its estimated fair value, which was calculated based on the Income Approach. Discounted cash flows serve as the primary basis for the Income Approach. The Company utilized forecasted cash flows for the Ba ckflip reporting unit that included assumptions including but not limited to: expected revenues to be realized based on planned future mobile game releases; expected EBITDA margins derived in part based on expected future royalty costs, advertising and mar keting costs, development costs, and overhead costs; and expected future tax rates. The cash flows beyond the forecast period were estimated using a terminal value growth rate of 3%. To calculate the fair value of the future cash flows under the Income A pproach, a discount rate of 14% was utilized, representing the reporting unit’s estimated weighted-average cost of capital. Based on the results of the step one impairment test the Company determined that the fair value of the Backflip reporting unit was below its carrying value, and therefore, impairment was indicated. Because indicators of impairment existed, the Company commenced the second step of the goodwill impairment analysis to determine the implied fair value of goodwill for the Backflip reportin g unit, which was determined in the same manner utilized to estimate the amount of goodwill recognized in a business combination. As part of the second step of the goodwill impairment analysis, the Company assigned the fair value of the Backflip reporting unit, as calculated under the first step of the goodwill impairment analysis, to all the assets and liabilities, including identifiable intangibles assets, of that reporting unit. The implied fair value of goodwill was measured as the excess of the fair value of the Backflip reporting unit over the amounts assigned to its assets and liabilities. Based on this assessment, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $32,858. A further deterioration in the forecast or assumptions discussed above could resu lt in an additional impairment charge. At December 25, 2016 there is $86,253 of remaining goodwill relate d to the Backflip reporting unit. Based on its qualitative assessment of goodwill for all reporting units with the exception of Backflip, the Company concluded there was no other impairment of goodwill during 2016. In addition, the Company completed its annual impairment tests of goodwill in the fourth quarters of 2015 and 2014 and concluded that there was no impairment of its goodwill. On July 13, 2016, the Company acquired Boulder Media Limited (“Boulder”), an animation studio based in Dublin, Ire land. The consideration included an initial cash paymen t of approximately $13,177 and provisions for future earnout payments. Based on the Company’s analysis, goodwill in the amount of $11,821 million was recorded and is reflected in the Ente rtainment and Licensing segment. Other Intangibles, Net A summary of the Company's other intangibles, net at December 25, 2016 and December 27, 2015:
| 2016 |  | 2015
Acquired product rights | $ | 789,689 |  |  | 789,781
Licensed rights of entertainment properties |  | 256,555 |  |  | 256,555
Accumulated amortization |  | (876,033) |  |  | (841,267)
Amortizable intangible assets |  | 170,211 |  |  | 205,069
Product rights with indefinite lives |  | 75,738 |  |  | 75,738
Total other intangibles, net | $ | 245,949 |  |  | 280,807
Certain intangible assets relating to rights obtained in the Company's acquisition of Milton Bradley in 1984 and Tonka in 1991 are not amortized. These rights were determined to have indefinite lives and are included as product rights with indefinite lives in the table above. The Company tests these assets for impairment on an annual basis in the fourth quarter of each year or when an event occurs or circumstances change that indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. The Company complete d its annual impairment tests of indefinite-lived intangible assets in the fourth quarter of 2016, 2015, and 2014 concluding that there was no impairment of these assets. The Company's other intangible assets are amortized over their remaining useful lives, and accumulated amortization of these other intangibles is reflected in other intangibles, net in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Intangible assets, other than those with indefinite lives, are reviewed for indications of impairment whene ver events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable. The Company will continue to incur amortization expense related to the use of acquired and licensed rights to produce various products. A portion of the amortization of these product rights will fluctuate depending on brand activation, related rev enues during an annual period and future expectations, as well as rights reaching the end of their useful lives. The Company currently estimates amortization expense related to the above intangible assets for the next five years to be approximately:
2017 | $ | 29,000 |
2018 |  | 17,000 |
2019 |  | 36,000 |
2020 |  | 40,000 |
2021 |  | 18,000 |
