1.8 million is the biggest number they have seen in awhile. Too bad that number is going the wrong way.

Property and equipment last 10q were listed at about 11.7 million and building is 8 million of that? So has to be coming from 6 machines and other ancillary equipment onsite.

The reason for the impairment charge is that they fully depreciated the assets (for tax purposes) within a year or two of purchase. This is common practice in capital intensive industries as the recent tax law changes allow this. Our company does it. So they purchased $1.8M worth of machinery and fully wrote it off. They can't sell it for that price, hence the impairment charge. It is really not that big a deal and to be expected if they are liquidating the machinery to make space to lease.
