The goodwill related to the Los Padres and EQF acquisitions is deductible for tax purposes, while the goodwill related to the Celtic and APB acquisitions is not deductible.

Our intangible assets with definite lives are core deposit and customer relationship intangibles. These intangibles are amortized over their respective estimated useful lives to their estimated residual values and reviewed for impairment at least quarterly. The amortization expense represents the estimated decline in the value of the underlying deposits or loan customers acquired. The weighted average amortization period remaining for our core deposit and customer relationship intangibles is 2.4 years. The estimated aggregate amortization expense related to these intangible assets for each of the next five years is $4.5 million, $3.8 million, $3.5 million, $1.8 million and $587,000.

The following table presents the changes in the gross amounts of core deposit intangibles, or CDI, and customer relationship intangibles, or CRI, and the related accumulated amortization for the years indicated:
