Favorable/Unfavorable Contract Assets and Liabilities

The favorable contract asset and unfavorable contract liability in the foregoing table represent the estimated fair value of American DG Energy's customer contracts (both positive for favorable contracts and negative for unfavorable contracts) which were acquired by us in May 2017.

Amortization of intangibles including contract related amounts is calculated using the straight-line method over the remaining useful life or contract term. Aggregate future amortization over the next five years and thereafter as of September 30, 2021 is estimated to be as follows:
Non-contract Related Intangibles Contract Related Intangibles Total
Year 1 $ 204,679  $ (323,761) $ (119,082)
Year 2 199,576  (269,825) (70,249)
