Amortization expense was $2,163,324 and $434,638 for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, and $1,096,576 and $215,704 for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The weighted-average amortization period is three years. Beginning in the second quarter of 2015, the Company changed to an accelerated method of amortization for the contracts and relationship intangible acquired in the CastleRock acquisition to better reflect the fair-value of such contracts and relationships after the settlement with CastleRock. In connection with such settlement, the prohibition against one former employee of CastleRock, and his new employer, against soliciting or creating business relationships with former customers of CastleRock expired June 17, 2015. This change in estimate resulted in $128,000 of additional amortization for the three months ended June 30, 2015. The effect of this change will not have a material effect on future quarters.
During June 2015, the Company entered into a revenue sharing agreement with a medical billing company and purchased its customer relationships for an initial payment of $59,358 which has been included in contracts and relationships acquired and will be amortized over the expected term of 36 months. Under the revenue sharing agreement, the Company is required to pay 30% of collected revenue for a period of 36 months. This obligation will be expensed as incurred.
As of June 30, 2015, future amortization expense scheduled to be expensed is as follows:
