During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, the Company did not purchase any intangible assets. During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, the Company sold portfolios of its intellectual property covering wireless and other technologies for $4.4 million and the related gain was recorded as gain from sale of intellectual property and revenue in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. The favorable contracts (included in customer contracts and contractual relationships) are acquired patent licensing agreements where the Company has no performance obligations. Cash received from these acquired favorable contracts reduces the favorable contract intangible asset. For the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, the Company received zero and $0.9 million related to the favorable contracts, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, the Company received $0.9 million and $2.2 million related to the favorable contracts, respectively. As of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the net balance of the favorable contract intangible assets was $0.1 million and $1.0 million, respectively. Amortization expense for intangible assets for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 was $6.7 million and $20.3 million, respectively. Amortization expense for intangible assets for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 was $7.4 million and $21.4 million, respectively. The estimated future amortization expense of intangible assets as of September 30, 2014 was as follows (amounts in thousands):
Years Ending December 31: | Amount
2014 (remaining 3 months) | $ | 6,322 |
2015 | 25,098 |
2016 | 24,318 |
2017 | 23,709 |
2018 | 10,827 |
Thereafter | 5,420 |
| $ | 95,694 |
It is reasonably possible that the businesses could perform significantly below the Company's expectations or a deterioration of market and economic conditions could occur. This would adversely impact the Company's ability to meet its projected results, which could cause the goodwill in any of its reporting units or long-lived assets in any of its asset groups to become impaired. Significant differences between these estimates and actual cash flows could materially affect the Company's future financial results. If the reporting units are not successful in commercializing new business arrangements, if the businesses are unsuccessful in signing new license agreements or renewing their existing license agreements, or if the Company is unsuccessful in managing its costs, the revenue and income for these reporting units could adversely and materially deviate from their historical trends and could cause goodwill or long-lived assets to become impaired. If the Company determines that its goodwill or long-lived assets are impaired, it would be required to record a non-cash charge that could have a material adverse effect on its results of operations and financial position.
