Favorable lease intangible assets are amortized over the terms of the leases, which are between 19 and 60 years. Internet sites are amortized over 10 years. Trade names have an indefinite life and therefore are not amortized, but are assessed for impairment annually or when events indicate that impairment may have occurred.

Total amortization expense for the three months ended March 31, 2014 was $68,000 (March 31, 2013 - $90,000). Estimated total amortization expense for the remainder of the year ending December 31, 2014 is $204,000 and for each of the years ending December 31, 2015 to December 31, 2019 is $272,000.
