OTHER NON-CURRENT ASSETS
In September 2015, the Company purchased a non-controlling interest in Cocona, Inc., a privately held entity that created and owns 37.5TM technology, a patented moisture management technology that utilizes body heat to evaporate moisture from apparel and equipment. Bauer Hockey launched its base layer, team apparel and elite protective equipment incorporating 37.5TM technology at retail in spring 2014. The use of 37.5TM technology is exclusive to the Company in hockey, baseball/softball (excluding MLB-licensed apparel), and lacrosse and non-exclusive to the Company in soccer through 2020. The amount of the investment totaled $5,000. Contemporaneous with the investment, Cocona, Inc. and the Company entered into a new license agreement that, among other things, removed the obligation for the Company and its affiliates to pay exclusivity fees (under the former license these fees could potentially have exceeded over $5,000 through 2020).
In October 2015, the Company purchased a $1,000 non-controlling interest in Q30 Sports Science, LLC, a privately held entity. Refer to Note 6 - Intangible Assets, Net for a description of Q30 Sports Science, LLC.
These investments are accounted for at cost. The Company regularly monitors these investments to determine if facts and circumstances have changed in a manner that would require a change in accounting methodology. Additionally, the Company regularly evaluates whether or not these investments have been impaired by considering such factors as economic environment, market conditions, operational performance and other specific factors relating to the businesses underlying the investments. If any such impairment is identified, a reduction in the carrying value of the investments would be recorded at that time.
