The amortization of finite-lived intangibles is computed using the straight-line method except for customer relationships which are computed using an accelerated method. Estimated lives of finite-lived intangibles range from two to ten years. Total amortization expense for both the three month periods ended July 2, 2011 and July 3, 2010 was $0.4 million, and for both the six month periods ended July 2, 2011 and July 3, 2010 was $0.8 million.

The estimated future amortization expense as of July 2, 2011 is as follows (in thousands):

Fiscal Years
2011 (remaining six months)	$	620
2012	1,249
2013	1,091
2014	732
2015	660
2016	387
Thereafter	426
Total amortization	$	5,165
