Note 5. Goodwill and Purchased Identifiable Intangible Assets
 
Impairment 
 
During the year ended December 31, 2017, the Company recorded a goodwill impairment charge of $2.4 million within the promotion segment in relation to the GFL and Fight Time reporting units. The impairment was identified as part of management’s review of impairment indicators during the fourth quarter. Accordingly, it was determined that the recoverable value of the reporting units was less than the carrying value and therefore, an impairment loss was recorded.
 
Additionally, the Company recorded a $893,000 impairment expense related to the write down of all video library intangible assets acquired to date, mainly in relation to the GFL acquisition as well as the venue relationship and trade name intangible assets associated with the acquisition of Fight Time.
