5. INTANGIBLE ASSETS:


Intangible assets consist of acquired technology, brand, customer relationships, surname domain names and our portfolio of domain names. As reflected in the table below, these balances are being amortized on a straight-line basis over the life of the intangible assets, except for the surname domain names and portfolio domain names, which have been determined to have an indefinite life and which are tested annually for impairment.


A summary of acquired intangible assets for the three months ended March 31, 2014 is as follows:

As of March 31, 2014, the accumulated amortization for the definite life intangibles was $5.3 million.


With regard to indefinite life intangible assets, as part of our normal renewal process during the three months ended March 31, 2014, an assessment that certain domain names acquired in the June 2006 acquisition of Mailbank.com Inc. should not be renewed and were allowed to expire. Accordingly, these domain names, with a book value of $0.3 million, have been written off and recorded as impairment of indefinite life intangible assets during the three months ended March 31, 2014. No impairment was recorded on indefinite-life intangible assets during the three months ended March 31, 2013.
