The Company recorded additions to capitalized software of $1.0 million and $0.5 million during the years ended December 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. As of these dates the Company had capitalized a total of $2.1 million and $1.1 million, respectively, solely for software projects developed for commercial use. Accumulated amortization for these projects totaled $0.7 million and $0.3 million as of December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Amortization expense for these projects totaled $0.3 million, $0.2 million, and $0.4 million in 2017, 2016, and 2015, respectively.

During the 2015 second quarter, the Company recorded expense for the impairment of one of its capitalized software projects related to IT medical management, primarily for chronic kidney disease, after determining that it had no net realizable value. Although the Company experienced some sales success with research institutions, the Company had been unable to sell the product to payers, its intended market, and discontinued the effort to sell the technology. The remaining net asset value, totaling approximately $1.1 million, was written-off to direct costs in the 2015 second quarter operating results.
