Finite-Lived Intangibles Assets

Finite-lived intangibles assets consist primarily of subscriber relationships of $380,000 that were acquired as a result of the Merger. Subscriber relationships are amortized on an accelerated basis over 9 years, which reflects the estimated pattern in which the economic benefits will be consumed. Other definite life intangibles include certain licensing agreements of $75,000, which will be amortized over a weighted average of 9.1 years on a straight-line basis.
