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.
At June 30, 2024, our capitalized software balance includes $31.2 million related to technology for new services within our U.S. Services Segment. Earlier in fiscal year 2024, we evaluated these assets by comparing their carrying value to their estimated future cash flows. At that time, our probability-weighted undiscounted cash flows showed that we would recover the costs of these assets through our contract pipeline. We continue to monitor this asset. If circumstances change, we may be required to adjust the value or asset life of this asset. At June 30, 2024, our intangible asset balance includes $13.5 million related to technology-based assets acquired in May 2021 as part of our acquisition of VES Group, Inc. We are taking the opportunity to improve our technology portfolio and replace the acquired assets. Through June 30, 2024, we had assumed that the acquired assets would cease being used around September 2026; we now believe we will be able to transfer to the replacement system by September 2025. Accordingly, effective July 1, 2024, we will accelerate our intangible asset amortization charge over the shorter period.
