The Company’s capitalized software development costs relate to translations and localizations of QAD Adaptive Applications. Acquired software technology costs relate to intellectual property purchased during the
second
quarter fiscal
2019.
 
It is the Company’s policy to write off capitalized software development costs once fully amortized. Accordingly, during the
first
three
months of fiscal
2021,
approximately
$0.1
 million of costs and accumulated amortization were removed from the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet, related to capitalized software development costs which were fully amortized during the
first
quarter of fiscal
2021.
 
Amortization of capitalized software costs was
$0.3
million and
$0.2
million for the
three
months ended
April 30, 2020
and
2019,
respectively. Amortization of capitalized software costs is included in “Cost of license” in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss.
 
The following table summarizes the estimated amortization expense relating to the Company’s capitalized software costs as of
April 30, 2020:
