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 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 year ended December 31, 2014.

During the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company recorded impairment charges in continuing operations of $0.2 million and $0.04 million, which are included in impairment in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations.
