(a) Other identifiable intangibles includes non-compete agreements which have been fully amortized. These identifiable intangible assets, which have a cost basis of $4.2 million, were previously amortized over 2 years. A reconciliation of the beginning and ending balance of goodwill for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2015 is as follows:
(In Thousands) |  | PE Films |  | Flexible Packaging Films |  | Aluminum Extrusions (1) |  | Total
Net carrying value of goodwill at January 1, 2014 | $ | 104,161 |  |  | $ | 54,931 |  |  | $ | 13,696 |  |  | $ | 172,788 |

(1) Goodwill balance is net of accumulated impairment losses of $30.6 million. The Company recorded a goodwill impairment charge of $44.5 million ($44.5 million after taxes) for goodwill associated with Flexible Packaging Films in 2015. This impairment charge represents the entire amount of goodwill associated with the Flexible Packaging Films segment. The operations of Flexible Packaging Films continue to be adversely impacted by competitive pressures that are primarily related to ongoing unfavorable economic conditions in its primary market of Brazil and excess global capacity in the industry. The Company believes that these conditions have shifted the competitive environment from a regional to a global landscape and have driven price convergence and lower product margins in Brazil. While recent favorable anti-dumping rulings have been issued against China, Egypt and India, authorities in Brazil have initiated new investigations of dumping against Peru and Bahrain. In light of market trends, increased economic uncertainty and continued dumping activity in Brazil, the Company reassessed its projections for the timing and extent of a market recovery with Flexible Packaging Films in 2015. The Company’s assessment of future prospects and timing of a recovery under these conditions indicate that its current enterprise value is less than $120 million (Flexible Packaging Films’ net assets excluding goodwill), the minimum value needed to have avoided a full write-off of its goodwill. The Company also assessed the fair value of Flexible Packaging Films’ other long-lived assets and determined that no additional impairments had occurred. Amortization expense for continuing operations over the next five years is expected to be as follows:
Year | Amount (In Thousands)
2016 | $ | 3,889 |
2017 | 3,850 |
2018 | 3,680 |
2019 | 3,280 |
2020 | 3,280 |
