The carrying amount of the Company's goodwill at April 2, 2016 was $48.8 million, of which $41.1 million resulted from the acquisition of Evolution Robotics, Inc. in October 2012 and was assigned to the home robots reporting unit. $7.7 million resulted from the acquisition of Nekton Research, LLC completed in September 2008 and was assigned to the defense and security reporting unit. In the three months ended April 2, 2016, in accordance with accounting guidance, the Company performed a goodwill impairment assessment for the disposal group of assets and liabilities of the defense and security business unit that met held for sale criteria. No impairments were identified.

Other Intangible Assets

Other intangible assets include the value assigned to completed technology and a trade name. The estimated useful lives for all of these intangible assets are three to ten years. The intangible assets are being amortized on a straight-line basis, which is consistent with the pattern that the economic benefits of the intangible assets are expected to be utilized.

Intangible assets at April 2, 2016 and January 2, 2016 consisted of the following:
