During the third quarter of 2015, management determined that the acquired IPR&D from the Sensima acquisition was completed and the products incorporating the technologies were ready to be commercially introduced. Accordingly, the acquired IPR&D was reclassified into developed technologies as a finite-lived intangible asset and is being amortized over its estimated useful life.

Amortization expense is recorded in cost of revenue in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and totaled $1.8 million and $0.7 million for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

The estimated future amortization expense as of December 31, 2015 is as follows (in thousands):

2016	$	2,051
2017		2,051
