Critical Accounting Policies
Our discussion and analysis of results of operations and financial condition are
based upon our condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been
prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America. The preparation of these condensed consolidated
financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the
reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We evaluate our estimates on an
ongoing basis, including those related to provisions for uncollectible accounts
receivable, inventories, valuation of intangible assets and contingencies and
litigation. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other
assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the
results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values
of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources.
Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or
conditions.
The accounting policies that we follow are set forth in Note 2 to our financial
statements as included in the Form 10-K filed on March 31, 2022. These
accounting policies conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States and have been consistently applied in the preparation of the
financial statements.
