We recorded an impairment loss on Green Machines' fixed assets during 2015, totaling $622, due to our strategic decision to hold the assets of the Green Machines product line for sale. This amount was recorded in Accumulated Depreciation as a write off against Property, Plant and Equipment. The impairment charge was included within Impairment of Long-Lived Assets in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings. Further details regarding the sale of our Green Machines outdoor city cleaning line are discussed in Note 6.

Depreciation expense was $16,550 in 2015, $17,694 in 2014 and $17,686 in 2013.
