The weighted average life of the Company’s total finite-lived intangible assets is 9.69 years, which includes average lives of 10.25 years for core technology and content and 7.0 years for customer relationships. The Company’s indefinite-lived intangible asset of approximately $7.5 million was for one-time consideration given for a perpetual, world-wide license for the use of the Bally trademark in connection with the Company’s business.
