 as necessary. Equipment financing receivables are written off against the allowance after all collection efforts have been exhausted and management deems the account to be uncollectible. We believe that our equipment financing receivable credit risk is low because of the geographic and industry diversification of our clients and small account balances for most of our clients.

Contingent Liabilities

Contingent liabilities require significant judgment in estimating potential payouts. Contingent considerations arising from business combinations and asset acquisitions require management to estimate future payouts based on forecasted results, which are highly sensitive to the estimates of discount rates and future revenues. These estimates can change significantly from period to period and are reviewed each reporting period to establish the fair value of the contingent liability. Contingent liabilities for annual employee bonuses requires management to make estimates of future payouts and accrue liabilities when the future payout is probable and reasonably estimatable. The estimates are highly sensitive to future operating results such as: revenue and adjusted EBITDA. 

Share-Based Compensation

We account for our share-based compensation awards using the fair-value method. The grant date fair value was determined using the Black-Scholes-Merton pricing model. The Black-Scholes-Merton valuation calculation requires us to make key assumptions such as future stock price volatility, expected terms, risk-free rates, and dividend yield. Our expected volatility is derived from our volatility rate as a publicly traded company. The expected term is based on our historical experience. The risk-free interest factor is based on the United States Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of the grant for zero coupon United States Treasury notes with maturities of approximately equal to each grant’s expected term. For the year ended December 31, 2023, one quarterly dividend of $0.005 was declared and paid, however we have assumed a 0% dividend yield for the year ended December 31, 2024.

We develop an estimate of the number of share-based awards that will be forfeited due to employee turnover. We will continue to use judgment in evaluating the expected term, volatility, and forfeiture rate related to our own share-based awards on a prospective basis, and in incorporating these factors into the model. If our actual experience differs significantly from the assumptions used to compute our share-based compensation cost, or if different assumptions had been used, we may have recorded too much or too little share-based compensation cost.
