 losses based on historical experience and trends, current conditions, and forecasts. The Company’s assessment of expected credit losses includes consideration of historical credit loss experience, the aging of account balances, customer concentrations, customer credit-worthiness, current and expected economic, market and industry factors affecting the Company’s customers, including their financial condition.  The Company evaluates its experience with historical losses and then applies this historical loss ratio to financial assets with similar characteristics.  The Company may also establish an allowance for credit losses for specific receivables when it is probable that the receivable will not be collected and the loss can be reasonably estimated. If the Company’s actual collections experience changes, revisions to the allowance may be required.  Amounts are written off against the allowance when all attempts to collect a receivable have failed, and reversals of previously reserved amounts are recognized if a specifically reserved item is settled for an amount exceeding the previous estimate. Based on information available, management believes the allowance for credit losses as of December 31, 2024 and 2023 is adequate.

Slow Moving, Excess or Obsolete Inventory 

The allowance for slow moving, excess or obsolete inventory was approximately $1.7 million and $1.8 million at December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

The allowance for slow-moving, excess and obsolete inventory is used to state our inventories at the lower of cost or net realizable value.  Because the amount of inventory that we will actually recoup through sales cannot be known with certainty at any particular time, we rely on past sales experience, future sales forecasts and our strategic business plans.  Generally, in analyzing our inventory levels, we classify inventory as having been used or unused during the past year and establish an allowance based upon several factors, including, but not limited to, business forecasts, inventory quantities and historical usage profile.  Supplemental to the aforementioned analysis, specific inventory items are reviewed individually by management.  Based on the review, considering business levels, future prospects, new products and technology changes, management, using its business judgment, may adjust the valuation of specific inventory items to reflect an accurate valuation estimate.  Management also performs a determination of net realizable value for all finished goods with a selling price below cost.  For all such items, the inventory is valued at not more than the selling price less cost, if any, to sell.
