As part of MtronPTI's acquisition of certain filter product line assets from Trilithic, MtronPTI acquired $538,000 of intellectual property. These intangible assets are included in "other assets" and are recorded at cost less accumulated amortization.  Amortization is computed for financial reporting purposes using the straight-line method over an estimated useful life of 10 years. The net carrying value of these intangible assets is $529,000 as of March 31, 2014.

 The estimated aggregate amortization expense for each of the five succeeding years and thereafter is as follows (in thousands):
