The amortization expense attributable to the amortization of identifiable intangible assets was approximately $1,568,000 and $2,308,000 and $399,000 and $1,150,000 for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

The trade names are amortized on a straight – line basis over the estimated useful life of ten years. Customer relationships are amortized based on the future undiscounted cash flows or straight – line basis over estimated remaining useful lives of five to ten years. Non-compete agreements are amortized based on a straight-line basis over the term of the non-compete agreement, typically five years. Over the next five years and thereafter, annual amortization expense for these finite life intangible assets will total approximately $37,286,000, as follows: remainder of fiscal 2017 - $1,570,000, fiscal 2018 - $6,281,000, fiscal 2019 - $6,285,000, fiscal 2020 - $6,282,000, fiscal 2021 - $5,877,000 and thereafter - $10,991,000.

Long-lived assets, such as purchased intangibles subject to amortization, are reviewed for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. The Company regularly evaluates whether events and circumstances have occurred that indicate possible impairment and relies on a number of factors, including operating results, business plans, economic projections, and anticipated future cash flows. The Company uses an estimate of the future undiscounted net cash flows of the related asset or asset group over the remaining life in measuring whether the assets are recoverable.
