The above amortization expense relates to capitalized costs related to software development of the Autoscope Vision, which was available for sale starting in the fourth quarter of 2016.  This expense is included as a component of royalty cost of revenue. Additionally, future amortization amounts presented above are estimates.  Actual future amortization expense may be different due to future acquisitions, impairments, changes in amortization periods, or other factors.

In accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), we performed an assessment of recoverability on our software development costs, which is impacted by estimates and assumptions of future revenue and expenses for these products, as well as other factors such as changes in product technologies. We determined that the estimated undiscounted cash flows is greater than the asset carrying value and there were no impairment triggers as of December 31, 2017.
