Discount Rate for Finance Leased Equipment

We follow Leases(“ASC 842”). In February 2016, the FASB issued Topic ASC 842, under which a lessee is required to recognize most leases on its balance sheet. The Company has elected to apply a third-party valuation incremental borrowing rate (“IBR”) as the discount rate by class of underlying assets when the rate is not implicit in the lease.

Share-Based Compensation

We follow ASC 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation, which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense for all share-based payment awards made to employees, directors, and non-employees based on estimated fair values. We have used the Black-Scholes option pricing model to estimate grant date fair value for all option grants. The assumptions we use in calculating the fair value of share-based payment awards represent management’s best estimates, but these estimates involve inherent uncertainties and the application of management judgment. As such, as we use different assumptions based on a change in factors, our stock-based compensation expense could be materially different in the future.

Accounting for Income Taxes

We are governed by U.S. income tax laws, which are administered by the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”). We follow ASC 740, Accounting for Income Taxes, which requires an asset and liability approach to financial accounting and reporting for income taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. A valuation allowance is provided when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of a deferred tax asset will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income and the reversal of deferred tax liabilities during the period in which the related temporary difference becomes deductible.

Assessment of Goodwill and Intangible Assets

Our indefinite-lived assets include Goodwill and Intangible Assets resulting from the acquisition of PPLS. Goodwill represents the purchase price in excess of fair values assigned to the underlying identifiable net assets of the acquired business. Goodwill and Intangible Assets are reviewed annually for impairment unless circumstances dictate the need for more frequent assessment.

In performing impairment tests for our Goodwill in 2024, in accordance with ASC 350 - Int
