The estimated useful lives for patents, content creator relationships, domain names, tradename and customer list are generally three to 15 years, one to two years, two to five years, seven to ten years and three to four years, respectively. The Company’s amortization expense on its finite-lived intangible assets was $1.9 million and $1.8 million for the years ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The Company recorded an impairment charge of $3.3 million and $0.1 million for the year ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The $2.2 million impairment recorded within our intellectual property (patents) for the year ended March 31, 2025 was the result of the impairment of certain assets within the Company's Slacker reporting unit as a result of the change in terms with our largest OEM. In addition, the Company recorded an an impairment of $0.9 million within our customer relationships intangibles within our Media reporting unit attributed to the decrease in expected future revenues. The Company recorded an impairment charge of $0.2 million and none within content creator relationships for the year ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The impairment for the year ended March 31, 2025 was the result of the winding down of a podcast show acquired by PodcastOne. Finder's Agreement In September 2023, PodcastOne entered into a finder's fee arrangement pursuant to which it agreed to issue shares of PodcastOne common stock at a price of $8.00 per share (subject to adjustment in certain limited circumstances) as a finder’s fee to a certain third party podcast platform in the event certain former and/or current podcasts creators of such platform entered into new podcasting agreements with PodcastOne, with the amount of the fee to be based on the amount of revenues actually derived by PodcastOne from such podcasts during a predetermined period. Payments made to such third party attributed to PodcastOne entering into new podcast contracts were capitalized to content creator relationship intangibles. As of March 31, 2025 and 2024 the Company has capitalized $3.1 million and $2.6 million, respectively, of payments made to such third party. $2.6 million of the $3.1 million capitalized of payments made to such third party was paid with PodcastOne common stock at an agreed upon price of $8.00 per share. During the year ended March 31, 2025, the Company made an adjustment of $0.5 million to accrued common stock and content creator relationships to account for the settlement of the finder's fee agreement attributed to multiple third party platforms.
