Intangible assets are amortized over their estimated useful lives based on the pattern in which the economic benefits associated with the asset are expected to be consumed, which to date has approximated the straight-line method of amortization. The estimated useful lives for patents, customer relationships, domain names, brand and 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 $0.3 million and $0.5 million for the three months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The Company’s amortization expense on its finite-lived intangible assets was $1.5 million and $1.2 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The Company recorded an impairment charge attributed to finite-lived intangibles of $0.2 million and $0.1 million for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The impairment for the nine months ended December 31, 2024 was the result of the winding down of a podcast show acquired by PodcastOne. The impairment for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2023 was the result of the winding down of the Gramophone business, therefore the Company has stopped marketing Gramophone's brand name. 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 December 31, 2024 and March 31, 2024, the Company has capitalized $2.6 million of payments made to such third party. $2.6 million capitalized of payments made to such third party was paid with PodcastOne common stock at a price of $8.00 per share. During the three months ended December 31, 2024, 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. The Company expects to record amortization of intangible assets for fiscal years ending March 31, 2025 and future fiscal years as follows (in thousands):
For Years Ending March 31, |  |  |  |
2025 (remaining three months) |  | $ | 465 |
