The gross amount associated with software developed for internal use mainly represents capitalized costs of internally developed software. The amounts relating to acquired proprietary technology, customer relationships, trade names, domain names, databases, and non-competition agreements mainly represent the fair values of intangible assets acquired as a result of the acquisition of Fluent, LLC (“Fluent”) effective on December 8, 2015 (the “Fluent Acquisition”) and the acquisition of Q Interactive, LLC (“Q Interactive”) effective on June 8, 2016 (the “Q Interactive Acquisition”).

 

On January 18, 2017, the Company’s management and Board of Directors approved a plan to merge and fully integrate Q Interactive’s business into Fluent (the “Q Interactive Integration”). As a result, the remaining balance of long-lived assets of $3,626, relating primarily to the acquired proprietary technology and trade names acquired in the Q Interactive Acquisition, was written off to operating expenses as a write-off of long-lived assets.  

 

Amortization expenses of $3,362 and $3,333 for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, and $9,931 and $8,726 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, were included in depreciation and amortization expenses. As of September 30, 2017, intangible assets of $3,444, included in the gross amounts of software developed for internal use, have not been amortized. These intangible assets will start to amortize when they are put into use.

 

As of September 30, 2017, estimated amortization expenses related to the Company’s intangible assets for the remainder of 2017 through 2022 and thereafter are as follows:
