In addition to the costs listed above, there were legal fees of $15,100 associated with the licence acquisitions. The licences are

The customer lists are expected to be useful for the next six years.
The patent has a legal life of 20 years, but technological changes are expected to render it worthless after about 8 years.
The copyright is good for another 40 years, but nearly all the related sales are expected to occur during the next 10 years.
