partnering for the future 9. other intangible assets 10. long-lived asset impairment and  restructuring charges Bunge’s other intangible assets consist of trademarks/brands, licenses, software technology and unamortized prior service costs relating to Bunge’s employee defined benefit plans (see Note 19). The aggregate amortization expense for other intangible assets was $4 million and $2 million for the year ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The annual estimated amortiza- tion and depletion expense for 2005 to 2009 is approximately  $4 million per year. Intangible assets consist of the following: In 2004, as a result of the acquisition of the Bunge Brasil minority interest, Bunge preliminarily assigned to its fertilizer segment $25 million of intangible assets attributable to product trademarks/ brands (20-year weighted average useful life) and $5 million related to licenses (38-year weighted average useful life). Bunge also assigned to its edible oil products and milling products  segments $4 million and $4 million, respectively, of intangible assets attributable to trademarks/brands (20-year useful life) relating to this acquisition (see Note 2). In connection with the  J. Macêdo asset exchange transaction, Bunge assigned to its milling products segment $15 million of intangible assets attrib- utable to product trademarks/brands with a 20-year weighted average useful life.  In 2003, Bunge recorded a pretax non-cash impairment charge of $40 million relating to its fixed assets at its European oilseed processing facilities. These facilities were older, less efficient crushing facilities, and these operations were dependent on soy- beans imported from North and South America for production. The European operations experienced operating losses during 2003. During the fourth quarter of 2003, Bunge updated its operating forecast, which included the effects of certain events occurring in the fourth quarter, such as the shortfall in the North American soy crop, increased export tariffs for Brazilian soy exports, and increased freight rates. Furthermore, Bunge deter- mined that maintenance capital expenditures for the facilities would be substantially higher than previously forecasted. As a result of these factors, Bunge tested the assets for impairment based upon an undiscounted cash flow model and determined that these cash flows would not recover the carrying value of the assets. The impairment was measured based upon the amount by which the carrying value exceeded the discounted cash flows. impairment In 2004, Bunge recorded pretax non-cash impairment charges of $17 million relating to write-downs of its refining and bottling facilities in the agribusiness segment in Western Europe attributable to planned closing of these facilities in response to changed market conditions and competition in Western Europe and to the write-downs of refining and packaging facilities in the edible oil products segment in North and South America. These impairment charges were a result of planned closings of older less efficient plants with planned replacement of new more effi- cient refining facilities in South America. The carrying value of these assets was written down to their estimated fair value.  In 2003, as a result of the Cereol acquisition, Bunge assigned to its edible oil products segment $53 million of intangible assets attributable to product trademarks/brands in Eastern Europe.  Of this amount, approximately $34 million of these trademarks/ brands have an average finite life of 30 years and the remainder of $19 million have an indefinite life, which is not subject to amor- tization. In addition, as a result of certain other 2003 acquisitions Bunge recognized finite lived assets of $3 million and indefinite lived intangible assets of $15 million.
