The Company recorded indefinite-lived intangible assets of $0.4 million related to the trade name UltraCell. The Company performed a qualitative analysis for fiscal year 2021 and determined that there was no impairment to the indefinite-lived intangible assets.

The Company also recorded $22.9 million (net carrying amount) of amortizing intangible assets, most of which were in connection with the Company’s acquisitions of UltraCell, SerEnergy, and FES. The amortizing intangible assets consist of patents, process know-how (IPR&D), order backlogs, and software which are amortized over 10 years, 6 years, 1 year, and 5 years respectively. The amortization expense for the intangible assets for the year ended December 31, 2021 was $1.2 million.

Amortization expense is recorded on a straight-line basis. Assuming constant foreign currency exchange rates and no change in the gross carrying amount of the intangible assets, future amortization expense related to the Company’s intangible assets subject to amortization as of December 31, 2021 is expected to be as follows:

Fiscal Year Ended December 31,
