At the end of 2013, we initiated the design and implementation of a new ERP system, which is expected to be substantially installed by the end of 2017. Amortization of the ERP system development costs began in March 2017 and is computed by the straight-line method. Through March 31, 2017, we have capitalized $46.1 million associated with the project that includes $1.6 million of capitalized interest and we have recognized $0.2 million of amortization expense.
