In January 2012, the Company acquired intellectual property rights associated with a software application for $0.8 million, financed through a third-party debt arrangement.

In April 2012, the Company recorded additional finite-lived intangible assets totaling $7.1 million, primarily related to developed technology, customer relationships, trademarks and trade names, and non-compete agreements from the acquisition of Sonar (see Note 2).

Total amortization expense from finite-lived intangible assets was $0.6 million and $1.1 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 and $32,000 and $0.1 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively. Amortization expense of $0.3 million and $0.7 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 and $32,000 and $0.1 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively, related to developed technology and software license rights was recorded in cost of revenues and the remainder in “Amortization of certain acquired intangible assets” in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations.

The following table presents the Company’s estimate of amortization expense for each of the five succeeding fiscal years for finite-lived intangible assets that existed at September 30, 2012 (in thousands):



2012	$	562
2013	2,192
2014	2,007
2015	1,755
2016	607
Thereafter	320
Total	$	7,443

Estimated amortization expense of $0.3 million, $1.2 million, $1.2 million, $1.2 million, $0.4 million and $0.3 million will be recorded in cost of revenue for 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016 and thereafter, respectively. The remaining estimated amortization expense will be recorded in amortization of acquired intangible assets within operating expenses.

The goodwill recorded in connection with the Sonar acquisition is primarily related to the expected long-term synergies and other benefits, including the acquired workforce, from the acquisition. The following table presents the changes in the carrying amount of goodwill for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 (in thousands):



Goodwill as of December 31, 2011	$	—
Goodwill from Sonar acquisition, April 5, 2012	8,193
