Goodwill and Intangible Assets Disclosure [Abstract]

Goodwill

The Company's management performs its goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible impairment tests annually or when changes in circumstances indicate an impairment event may have occurred by estimating the fair value of each reporting unit compared to its carrying value. The last annual impairment test took place as of December 31, 2016. The Company is aggregated into four operating segments presented herein Note (17), Segment Information, to the consolidated financial statements included in this report, based on similar economic characteristics, nature of products and services, nature of production processes, type of customers and distribution methods. The Company's four operating segments consist of: "gourmet food," "nutritional and wellness," "home décor" and "other." The valuation of goodwill is further explained in Note (2), Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, to the consolidated financial statements included in this report.

The Company recorded goodwill impairment charges of approximately $3.3 million and $192,000 during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The goodwill impairment charges of $191,000 during the first quarter of 2016 and $192,000 during the second quarter of 2015 were related to the goodwill impairment of Tomboy Tools. In the fourth quarter of 2016, the Company recorded goodwill impairment charges of $1.9 million and $1.2 million to Agel and YIAH, respectively, as a result of expected decrease in the future results of operations.
