[3] In connection with the Merger in 2013, the Company acquired $1,740,000 of Identifiable Artistic-Related Assets. These assets, related to certain properties owned by A Squared and assumed by the Company, were valued using an independent firm.

Hence, pursuant to FASB ASC 350-30, these assets are not subject to amortization and are tested annually for impairment. Through December 31, 2016, the Company has not recognized any impairment expense related to these assets.
[4] Pursuant to FASB ASC 350-30-35, the Company reviews these intangible assets periodically to determine if the value should be retired or impaired due to recent events. Through December 31, 2016, the Company has not recognized any impairment expense related to these assets.
