The Company performs its annual impairment test for goodwill utilizing a combination of discounted cash flow methodology, market comparables and an overall market capitalization reasonableness test in computing fair value by reporting unit. The Company then compares the fair value of the reporting unit with its carrying value to assess if goodwill has been impaired. Based on the assumptions as to growth, discount rates and the weighting used for each respective valuation methodology, results of the valuations could be significantly different. The Company believes that the methodologies and weightings used are reasonable and result in appropriate fair values of the reporting units. The Company performed its annual impairment test for goodwill as of October 1, 2014 and determined that no adjustment to the carrying value was required. The Company performed its annual impairment tests for goodwill as of October 1, 2013. In the fourth quarter of 2013, the Company recorded two non-cash goodwill impairment charges within the Asia-Pacific reporting segment totaling $.9 million. The goodwill impairment testing revealed that the carrying values of these two businesses exceeded their fair values. The goodwill impairment charges were due to a combination of factors including reported net losses in 2013, forecasted net losses in 2014, reduction in future discounted cash flow, higher market discount rates and changes in the utility and solar markets. The changes in the carrying amount of goodwill by segment for the year ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 are as follows:
|  | The Americas |  |  | EMEA |  |  | Asia-Pacific |  |  | Total |
Balance at January 1, 2013 |  | $ | 3,078 |  |  | $ | 1,819 |  |  | $ | 10,640 |  |  | $ | 15,537 |

Balance at December 31, 2014 |  | $ | 7,750 |  |  | $ | 1,528 |  |  | $ | 8,514 |  |  | $ | 17,792 |
The Company’s only intangible asset with an indefinite life is goodwill. The Company’s goodwill is not deductible for tax purposes. Of the $1.7 million decrease in goodwill in 2013, $.8 million is related to foreign currency translation and $.9 million is due to goodwill impairment. The increase in goodwill of $3.9 million in 2014 is related to the acquisition by the Company of Helix resulting in an incremental $4.9 million of goodwill which was partially offset by a $1 million decline related to foreign currency translation. The aggregate amortization expense for other intangibles with finite lives, ranging from 4 to 82 years, for the year ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012 was $1.6 million, $1.5 million and $1.5 million, respectively. Amortization expense is estimated to be $1.3 million for 2015, $1.1 million for 2016, $1.1 million for 2017, $1 million for 2018 and $1 million for 2019. The weighted-average remaining amortization period is approximately 21.6 years. The weighted-average remaining amortization period by intangible asset class; patents, 2.3 years; land use rights, 61.1 years; trademark, 10.6 years; technology, 16.9 years and customer relationships, 15.2 years.
