Aggregate amortization expense for the three months ended April 2, 2016 and April 4, 2015 was $2.4 million and $2.8 million, respectively. Based on the current amount of intangible assets subject to amortization, the estimated amortization expense for each of the following five fiscal years is as follows:



(In millions)	2016		2017		2018		2019		2020
Amortization expense	$	13.2	$	19.7	$	19.9	$	19.0	$	18.6

As events such as acquisitions, dispositions or impairments occur in the future, these amounts may change.

The Corporation also owns certain trademarks and trade names with a net carrying amount of $41.0 million as of April 2, 2016 and January 2, 2016. These trademarks and trade names, which are reflected in the "Other Assets" line in the Corporation's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, are deemed to have indefinite useful lives because they are expected to generate cash flows indefinitely.

The changes in the carrying amount of goodwill since January 2, 2016 are as follows by reporting segment:



(In thousands)	Office Furniture			Hearth Products			Total
Balance as of January 2, 2016
Goodwill	$	149,718		$	183,199		$	332,917

The Corporation evaluates its goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment on an annual basis during the fourth quarter, or whenever indicators of impairment exist. The Corporation estimates the fair value of its reporting units using various valuation techniques, with the primary technique being a discounted cash flow method. This method employs market participant based assumptions.
