The Company presents amortization of the PPA asset and PPA liability as an offset to electricity sales in the consolidated statements of operations, which resulted in net expense of $0.7 million and $1.5 million in electricity sales for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 and net expense of $0.7 million and $1.5 million for the same periods in 2016. For other intangible assets, the Company includes the amortization in depreciation and accretion in the consolidated statements of operations and recorded amortization expense of $0.1 million and $0.2 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 and amortization expense of $0.1 million and $0.1 million for the same periods in 2016.
The acquisition of the Broadview Project provided for future property tax savings as a result of the issuance of industrial revenue bonds during construction of the Broadview Project. The Company considered the future tax savings an intangible asset and calculated the fair value of the asset at the acquisition date. The tax savings was calculated by forecasting the difference between the property tax payments that the Broadview Projects would be liable for if the industrial revenue bond structure was not in place and the actual payments in lieu of tax. The fair value of the property tax savings was recorded to finite-lived intangible assets, net on the consolidated balance sheets at the acquisition date, and such value will be amortized to depreciation and accretion in the consolidated statements of operations over the 25 year exemption period that remains as of the acquisition date. The Company recorded amortization expense of $0.2 million and $0.2 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively, related to industrial revenue bond tax saving intangible asset.
The following table presents estimated future amortization for the next five years related to the PPA asset and PPA liability and other intangible assets (in thousands):
