During 2020, the Company reassessed its forecasted product mix due to COVID-19, increased availability of newer handpiece designs, and improved timing of product registrations in some of our foreign markets. As a result, certain products were reduced to a lower carrying value, and some components were also written down as the Company determined to cease further production on these older models. The total impairment was approximately $400,000 and is included in cost of sales in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Operations for 2020. Later in 2020, the Company's forecasts were revised, and it subsequently utilized a portion of the written down components and approximately $100,000 of the impairment was recovered through the sale of the corresponding manufactured handpieces.
