RESTRUCTURING ACTIVITIES AND ASSET IMPAIRMENTS

2018 Earth Origins Market. During the second quarter of fiscal 2018, the Company recorded restructuring and asset impairment expenses of $11.4 million related to the Company's Earth Origins Market retail business. The Company made the decision in the second quarter of fiscal 2018 to close three non-core, under-performing stores of its total twelve stores which resulted in restructuring costs of $0.2 million related to severance and closure costs.

Based on the decision to close these stores, coupled with the decline in results in the first half of fiscal 2018 and the future outlook as a result of competitive pressure, the Company determined that both a test for recoverability of long-lived assets and a goodwill impairment analysis should be performed. The determination of the need for a goodwill analysis was based on the assertion that it was more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit was below its carrying amount. As a result of both these analyses, the Company recorded a total impairment charge of $3.3 million on long-lived assets and $7.9 million to goodwill, respectively. Both of these charges were recorded in the Company's "Other" segment in the second quarter of fiscal 2018. The Company did not record any charges during the third quarter of fiscal 2018, but expects to incur additional restructuring charges primarily related to future exit costs of approximately $1.4 million during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2018.

The following is a summary of the restructuring costs the Company recorded related to Earth Origins Market in fiscal 2018, the payments and other adjustments related to these costs and the remaining liability as of April 28, 2018 (in thousands):
