Intangible assets with finite lives are amortized over their estimated useful lives. We recorded amortization expense of $1,308,212, $42,480 and $42,480 for the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Based solely on the amortizable intangible assets recorded at December 31, 2016, we estimate amortization expense for the next five years to be as follows:

 

Year Ending      
December 31,   Amount
       
2017   $ 1,718,104
2018     1,668,789
2019     1,645,582
2020     1,626,231
2021     1,460,486
Thereafter     10,187,906
       
    $ 18,307,098
     

 

Actual amortization expense to be reported in future periods could differ from these estimates as a result of new intangible asset acquisitions, changes in useful lives or other relevant factors or changes.
