Acquired finite-lived intangibles are generally amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. The useful life of finite-lived intangibles is the period over which the asset is expected to contribute directly or indirectly to future cash flows of the Company. Intangible assets amortization expense for the three months ended October 31, 2013 and 2012 was $0.4 million for each quarter. Intangible assets amortization expense for the six months ended October 31, 2013 and 2012 was $0.8 million for each period. The estimated future amortization expense related to intangible assets as of October 31, 2013 is as follows (in thousands):
