Through May 31, 2020, licenses for gaming machine patents and technology had been added to the cost of slot machines built for sale or lease using a capitalization rate per machine. The capitalization rate was based on expected annual machine production and adjusted accordingly based on actual versus projected units produced. As of May 31, 2020, machine production for the remainder of the 2020 calendar year was projected to be nominal due to COVID-19. Therefore, the cost of licenses for gaming technology as of that date of $27,000 were expensed as license fees on a straight-line basis at $6,750 per month over the remaining initial term of the license period ending September 30, 2020.

 

The weighted average useful life of purchased source code licenses is 3 years. Amortization expense included in the consolidated Statements of Operations relating to the source code licenses was $834 and $833 for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Amortization expense included in the consolidated Statements of Operations relating to the purchased licenses was $2,500 for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

 

Estimated future capitalizable costs, amortization and expense related to recorded license fees is as follows:
