n/a – not applicable We estimate that the annual amortization expense for our total intangible assets with a finite life will be approximately $2 million in 2015 and 2016 and $1 million in 2017 through to 2019. The estimated remaining useful lives of these assets range from five to twenty-four years. Intangible assets with an indefinite life consist primarily of U.S. state licenses that provide a legal right to transact business indefinitely. Our impairment reviews for goodwill and indefinite lived intangibles did not result in the recognition of impairment losses for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012.
