Impairment of Long-lived Assets

The Company evaluates the recovery of its long-lived assets when events or changes in circumstances occur that indicate that the carrying value of assets may not be recoverable. The Company evaluated the long-lived assets associated with Heritage Labs and Hooper Holmes Services in connection with the anticipated sale of certain assets under the Alliance Agreement with CRL (refer to Note 1). The Company concluded these long-lived assets were not impaired. There were no impairment charges recorded for these assets or any other assets in continuing operations during the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2014.

During the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2013, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $0.2 million relating to the write-off of certain financial system software which was no longer expected to be utilized. The $0.2 million impairment charge is included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2013.
