. We allocate the fair value of purchase consideration to the tangible
and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values at the acquisition date. The excess of the
fair value of the underlying net assets acquired and liabilities assumed over the purchase consideration is included in bargain purchase
gain in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. Such valuations require management to make significant estimates and assumptions, especially
with respect to intangible assets.

Intangible
Assets

Our
intangible assets consist of acquired technology from the January 2023 Ibeo asset purchase and purchased patents. The estimated fair
value of acquired technology was calculated through the income approach using the multi-period excess earnings and relief from royalty
methodologies. The intangible assets are amortized using the straight-line method over their estimated period of benefit, ranging from
one to seventeen years. Intangible assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying
value may not be recoverable. Recoverability of these assets is measured by comparison of their carrying values to the projected undiscounted
net cash flows associated with the related intangible assets or group of assets over their remaining lives. Measurement of an impairment
loss for our intangible assets is based on the difference between the fair value of the asset and its carrying value. During 2024, we
recorded a non-cash impairment charge of $4.2 million related to our Reference software. See Part II, Item 8, Note 8. Financial Statement

Share-Based
Compensation

We
issue share-based compensation to employees in the form of stock options, restricted stock units (RSUs), and performance stock units
(PSUs). We account for the share-based awards by recognizing the fair value of share-based compensation expense on a straight-line basis
over the service period of the award, net of estimated forfeitures. The fair value of stock options is estimated on the grant date using
the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The fair value of RSUs and non-executive PSUs is determined by the closing price of our common
stock on the grant date or the period end date for the awards that are being measured by the service inception date. For performance-based
awards, expense is recognized when it is probable the performance criteria will be achieved. If the likelihood becomes improbable that
the performance criteria will be achieved, the expense is reversed. The fair value of RSUs and PSUs (other than certain executive
PSUs
