The present value of future profits (“PVFP”) amounts in the table above are net of $220 million and $209 million of accumulated amortization at December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. During each of the next five years, the PVFP is expected to decrease at a rate of approximately one-sixth of the balance at the beginning of each respective year.
