As discussed in Note 1, goodwill is not amortized but is periodically tested for impairment. For the nine reporting units with goodwill on the first day of our fourth quarter, the Company performed a quantitative assessment of the goodwill’s carrying value.
In the year ending December 31, 2019, we performed quantitative assessments for the reporting units which had goodwill as of the first day of the fourth quarter, prior to the initiation of the antenna business restructuring activities. Based on our quantitative assessment, the Company recorded a full impairment charge of approximately $1.6 million in the December 31, 2019 consolidated statement of operations associated with the AeroSat reporting unit. The impairment loss was incurred in the Aerospace segment and is reported within the Impairment Loss line of the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
The 2018 assessment indicated no impairment to the carrying value of goodwill in any of the Company’s reporting units and no impairment charge was recognized.
