The Dataradio tradename, which was originally classified as an indefinite-lived asset at the time of its acquisition in 2006, was recently determined to have a finite useful life as a result of management’s decision to phase out the use of this tradename in the future. Effective at the beginning of fiscal 2012, the Company commenced the amortization of this asset over a period of seven years.

     Amortization expense of intangible assets was $1,277,000, $1,132,000, and $1,367,000 for the years ended February 28, 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively. All intangible asset amortization expense is attributable to the Wireless DataCom segment. Estimated amortization expense in future fiscal years is as follows (in thousands):

2013		1,054
2014		465
