Goodwill and Intangible Assets Disclosure [Abstract]

Intangible Assets and Goodwill

In connection with the March 6, 2014 Participation Agreement (see Note 3) recognizing Ronco as a Variable Interest Entity, we recognized certain identifiable intangibles, other than goodwill, totaling $3,700,000 as well as goodwill totaling $15,963,074. Identifiable intangibles other than goodwill consists of patents of $2,000,000 with a weighted average amortization period of nine years, and trademarks of $1,700,000, which are not subject to amortization.

In addition, in connection with the Merger Agreement completed April 2, 2014 (see Note 4), we recognized certain identifiable intangibles other than goodwill. Identifiable intangibles other than goodwill consists of eDiets’ customer relationships of $1,200,000, eDiets’ domain names of $1,100,000, and eDiets’ trade names of $850,000, which are being amortized over a weighted-average period of five years. In addition, we recognized the Company’s asseenontv.com website of $3,000,000 and goodwill of $4,044,100, both are not subject to amortization. The website was sold in October 2014.

The fair values assigned to the intangible assets recognized in these transactions were based on estimates of our management using an income approach which utilized a significant number of nonobservable inputs.

On September 30, 2014, the Company recognized an impairment loss on goodwill and other intangible assets of approximately $20,007,000 and $2,793,000, respectively. The Company determined that significant qualitative conditions existed on September 30, 2014 to warrant an impairment test as of that date, rather than waiting 12 months from the date goodwill was recognized to do an annual test. The following are the conditions that led to that determination:

· Poor overall financial performance of each reporting unit

· The Company was in technical default on Senior Secured Debt

· Insufficient working capital

· Decreased share price

The Company recognized an additional impairment loss on its other intangible assets of approximately $2,608,000 on December 31, 2014. This additional impairment was with respect to Ronco’s patents and trademarks. As a result of the Company’s receiving a notice of default on its 14% Senior Secured Note (see Note 12), the Company re-assessed its projections and ability to maintain its patent renewal fees and consequently fully impaired its patents and partially impaired its trade names.

For the year ended December 31, 2014, goodwill was fully impaired and other intangible assets were partially impaired. See below table for the impairment loss recognized on other intangible assets.

The following table summarizes our goodwill and other intangible assets for the year ended December 31, 2014.
