In conjunction with a business review performed in the Publishing segment associated with the restructuring activities disclosed in Note 7, “Restructuring and Related Charges”, in the three months ended July 31, 2017, we identified an indefinite lived brand with forecasted cash flows that did not support its carrying value. As a result, an impairment charge of $3.6 million was recorded in the three months ended July 31, 2017 to reduce the carrying value of the brand to its fair value of $1.2 million, which is being amortized over its estimated remaining useful life. This impairment charge was included in Operating and Administrative Expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income for fiscal year 2018.
