 assets are amortized over their estimated useful lives principally using a pattern of economic benefit for customer relationships and a straight-line method for other intangible assets. Finite-lived intangible assets are subject to impairment if events or circumstances indicate a possible inability to realize the carrying amount. The Company carries intangible assets, which represent customer and agent relationships, trade names, insurance licenses (certificates of authority granted by individual state departments of insurance), the value of in-force insurance policies acquired, software acquired or internally developed and fishing licenses.
