Amortization expense for intangible assets was approximately $1.14 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2020 (the "current quarter") and was approximately $0.77 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2019 (the "prior year quarter").

Effective January 1, 2020, the Company determined that the Ripka Brand, inclusive of all its trademarks, has a finite life of 15 years, and is amortized on a straight-line basis accordingly. Prior to January 1, 2020, the Ripka Brand trademarks were considered indefinite-lived assets.

The trademarks related to the Isaac Mizrahi Brand have been determined to have indefinite useful lives and, accordingly, no amortization has been recorded for these assets.
