We generally amortize our finite-lived intangible assets over their estimated useful lives on a straight-line basis, unless an alternate amortization method can be reliably determined. Any such alternate amortization method would be based on the pattern in which the economic benefits of the intangible asset are expected to be consumed.

None

of our intangible assets have any residual value.

Total amortization expense for our finite-lived intangible assets was

$463

and

$303

respectively, for the

six

months ended

June 30, 2018

and

2017.

The following table sets forth the estimated annual amortization expense for each of the next

five

years:

2018 (remainder)	$	640
2019	$	1,257
2020	$	1,233
2021	$	1,227
2022	$	1,167
