At the beginning of fiscal 2012, the Dataradio tradename, which was originally classified as an indefinite-lived asset at the time of its acquisition in 2006, was 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. Consequently, in fiscal 2012 the Company began amortizing this asset over a period of seven years.

Amortization expense of intangible assets was $1,743,000, $1,277,000, and $1,132,000 for the years ended February 28, 2013, 2012 and 2011, 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):

Fiscal Year
2014	$	1,349
2015		977
2016		926
2017		926
2018		425
	$	4,603
