GOODWILL GOODWILL
Goodwill arises from the purchase price for acquired businesses exceeding the fair value of tangible and intangible assets acquired less assumed liabilities. Goodwill is assigned to the reporting unit, which is the operating segment level or one level below the operating segment. The balance of goodwill at September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 was $3.59 million and $48.13 million, respectively. As of September 30, 2022, changes in the carrying amount of goodwill during the period presented were as follows:
(in thousands)
Balance as of December 31, 2021 $ 48,132 
Impairment Losses (44,547)
Balance as of September 30, 2022 3,585 
The Company conducts its annual goodwill impairment assessment on September 30, and between annual tests if the Company becomes aware of an event or a change in circumstances that would indicate the carrying value may be impaired. For the purpose of the goodwill impairment assessment, the Company has the option to perform a qualitative assessment (commonly referred to as “step zero”) to determine whether further quantitative analysis for impairment of goodwill or indefinite-lived intangible assets is necessary or a quantitative assessment (“step one”).
During the second quarter of 2022, the Company identified changes in circumstances that would indicate the carrying value of certain reporting units may be impaired. Management performed a preliminary quantitative assessment using a comparison of actual revenues to projections and applied a current discount rate, which resulted in a goodwill impairment loss of $33.63 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022.

During the third quarter of 2022, the Company terminated its operations related to SilverStreak and wrote off the carrying amount of the related goodwill in the amount of $10.92 million which is recorded as a component of impairment expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. See "Note 5 Assets Held for Sale" for further information.

For the purpose of the annual impairment test on September 30, 2022, the Company performed a quantitative assessment wherein the fair value of each reporting unit was determined using a guideline public company method and guideline transaction method (market approach). Earnings forecast for certain reporting units were revised based on a decrease in anticipated operating profits and cash flows for the next five years as it relates to current market conditions, the economic environment, and delays due to regulatory and licensing issues. The fair value of each reporting unit was estimated using the expected present value of future cash flows. As a result of its assessment, management noted no additional impairment of goodwill for the remaining reporting units as of September 30, 2022.
