Basis of Presentation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements, including the notes, include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries and have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("U.S. GAAP"), and the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Basis of Presentation for Interim Periods
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included for the annual financial statements to be prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted for the interim periods presented. We believe that the unaudited interim financial statements include all adjustments (which are normal and recurring in nature) necessary to present fairly our financial position and the results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented.
The results of operations for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the year or future periods. The financial statements should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto for the year ended September 30, 2023, included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year then ended (the "2023 10-K"). We have continued to follow the accounting policies set forth in those financial statements.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of these financial statements, in conformity with U.S. GAAP, requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent liabilities, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses. At each reporting period end, we make estimates, including those related to revenue recognition and cost estimation on certain contracts, the realizability of long-lived assets, including goodwill, and amounts related to income taxes, certain accrued liabilities, and contingencies and litigation.
Our capitalized software balance includes $26.8 million related to technology for new services within our U.S. Services Segment. We continue to evaluate these assets by comparing their carrying value to our estimated future cash flows. At this time, our probability-weighted undiscounted cash flows continue to show that we will recover the costs of these assets through our contract pipeline. It is possible that changes in our estimates of future cash flows related to these assets may change and result in the need to adjust the value of these assets.
