The amortization of most definite-lived intangible assets is recorded as amortization expense. The favorable lease asset and other intangibles are amortized to operations expense (rent expense) over the related lease terms. The deferred financing costs are amortized to interest expense over the life of the related debt instruments. The following table presents the amount and classification of amortization recognized as expense in each of the periods presented:
| Three Months Ended December 31,
| 2012 |  | 2011
| (in thousands)
Amortization expense | $ | 723 |  |  | $ | 227 |
Operations expense | 35 |  |  | 31 |
Interest expense | 764 |  |  | 151 |
Total expense from the amortization of definite-lived intangible assets | $ | 1,522 |  |  | $ | 409 |
The following table presents our estimate of amortization expense for definite-lived intangible assets:
Fiscal Years Ended September 30, |  | Amortization expense |  | Operations expense |  | Interest expense
|  | (in thousands)
2013 |  | $ | 3,886 |  |  | $ | 102 |  |  | $ | 2,230 |

2017 |  | 4,914 |  |  | 111 |  |  | 464 |
As acquisitions and dispositions occur in the future, amortization expense may vary from these estimates.
