In accordance with GAAP, goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives are not amortized, but rather tested for impairment at least annually by comparing the estimated fair values to their carrying values. During fiscal 2016, we recorded a noncash impairment charge of approximately $1.3 million to reduce the carrying value of Perfumania's tradename to its estimated fair value.

Trademarks, including tradenames and owned licenses having finite lives, are amortized over their respective lives to their estimated residual values and are also reviewed for impairment in accordance with accounting standards when changes in circumstances indicate the assets’ values may be impaired. Customer relationships are amortized over the expected period of benefit and license agreements are amortized over the remaining contractual term. Impairment testing is based on a review of forecasted operating cash flows and the profitability of the related brand.

Amortization expense associated with intangible assets subject to amortization is included in depreciation and amortization on the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. Amortization expense for intangible assets subject to amortization was $1.9 million and $4.5 million for fiscal years 2016 and 2015, respectively. The estimated future amortization expense associated with intangible assets subject to amortization is as follows (in thousands):



Fiscal Year	Amortization Expense
2017	$	1,427
2018	877
2019	709
2020	684
2021	682
Thereafter	235
	$	4,614
