Additional future impairment may result from, among other things, deterioration in the performance of our business or product 12 lines, adverse market conditions and changes in the competitive landscape, and a variety of other circumstances.

We evaluate the recoverability of recorded goodwill and other intangible asset amounts annually, or when evidence of potential impairment exists.
The amount of any impairment is recorded as a charge to our Consolidated Statement of Income.
Although the use of biometric readers on popular consumer products, such as smartphones, has increased interest in biometrics as a means of authenticating and/or identifying individuals, commercial markets for biometrics technology are still developing and evolving.
Acceptance of biometrics as an alternative to such traditional methods depends upon a number of factors, including: the cost, performance and reliability of our products and services and the products and services offered by our competitors; customers’ perceptions regarding the benefits of biometrics solutions; public perceptions regarding the intrusiveness of these solutions and the manner in which organizations use the biometric information collected; public perceptions regarding the confidentiality of private information; proposed or enacted 13 legislation related to privacy of information; customers’ satisfaction with biometrics solutions; and marketing efforts and publicity regarding biometrics solutions.
A considerable number of established companies have developed or are developing and marketing software and hardware for biometrics products and applications, including facial recognition, fingerprint biometrics, and other iris authentication competitors that currently compete with, or will compete directly with, our biometric authentication solutions.
Although we and our suppliers attempt to avoid infringing known proprietary rights of third parties in our products, we may be subject to legal proceedings and claims for alleged infringement of a third party’s patents, trade secrets, trademarks, or copyrights.
Our allowance for credit losses applicable to loans receivable reflect the Company's estimate of expected credit losses over the contractual life of the loans, considering historical loss experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts.
