These solutions include: access to cash and cashless funding at gaming facilities via Automated Teller Machine (“ATM”) debit withdrawals, credit card financial access transactions, and point of sale (“POS”) debit card purchases at casino cages, kiosk and mobile POS devices; accounts for the CashClub Wallet, check warranty services, self-service ATMs and fully integrated kiosk and maintenance services; self-service loyalty tools and promotion management software; compliance, audit, and data software; casino credit data and reporting services; marketing and promotional offering subscription-based services; and other ancillary offerings.
With respect to our FinTech business, we have made the following updates to certain of our financial statement descriptions, where applicable: (i) “Cash access services” has become “Financial access services”; (ii) “ATM” has been renamed “Funds dispensed”; (iii) “Equipment” has been changed to “Hardware”; and (iv) “Information services and other” has been revised to “Software and other.” These naming convention changes better represent how our business has evolved.
Impact of the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (“COVID-19”) Pandemic
The COVID-19 pandemic has negatively impacted the global economy, disrupted global supply chains, lowered equity market valuations, created significant volatility in the financial markets, increased unemployment levels, and caused temporary, and in certain cases, permanent closures of many businesses. The gaming industry was not immune to these factors as our casino customers closed their gaming establishments in the first quarter of 2020, with many beginning to reopen their operations over the remainder of 2020 and in 2021. As a result, our operations experienced significant disruptions in the first three quarters of 2020. At the immediate onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, we were affected by various measures, including, but not limited to: the institution of social distancing and sheltering-in-place requirements in many states and communities where we operate, which significantly impacted demand for our products and services, and resulted in office closures, the furlough of a majority of our employees, the implementation of temporary base salary reductions for our employees and the implementation of a work-from-home policy.
Since the onset of COVID-19, we have implemented measures to mitigate our exposure throughout the global pandemic. While there may be further uncertainty facing our customers as a result of COVID-19, we continue to evaluate our business strategies and the impacts of the global pandemic on our results of operations and financial condition and make business decisions to mitigate further risk. While industry conditions have improved significantly compared to 2020, it is unclear if the customer volumes experienced will continue to exceed pre-COVID levels, to the extent another resurgence of COVID-19 could result in the further closure or re-closure of casinos by federal, state, tribal or municipal governments and regulatory agencies or by the casino operators themselves in an effort to contain the COVID-19 global pandemic or mitigate its impact and the impact of vaccines on these matters.
As of September 30, 2021, excluding the few casinos that have permanently closed, there are only a minimal number of customers whose operations still remain closed. Our revenues, cash flows, and liquidity for the third quarter of 2021 exceeded the third quarter of 2020, which was significantly impacted by the effects of COVID-19. At the onset of the pandemic, our customers implemented protocols intended to protect their patrons and guests from potential COVID-19 exposure and re-establish customer confidence in the gaming and hospitality industry. These measures included enhanced sanitization, limitations on public gathering and casino capacity, patron social distancing requirements, and limitations on casino operations and amenities, which have limited the number of patrons that are able or who desire to attend these venues. This has also impacted the pace at which demand for our products and services rebounds.
With some limitations still in effect, we expect that demand for our products and services will continue to be tempered in the short-term, to the extent gaming activity decreases at our customers’ locations or fails to increase at expected rates or return to pre-pandemic levels and to the extent our customers decide to restrict their capital spending as a result of uncertainty in the industry, or otherwise. As a result, we continue to monitor and manage liquidity levels and we may, from time to time, evaluate available capital resource alternatives on acceptable terms to provide additional financial flexibility.
The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic also exacerbates the risks disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 (the “Annual Report”), including, but not limited to: our ability to comply with the terms of our indebtedness; our ability to generate revenues, earn profits and maintain adequate liquidity; our ability to service existing and attract new customers and maintain our overall competitiveness in the market; the potential for significant fluctuations in demand for our products and services; overall trends in the gaming industry impacting our business; and potential volatility in our stock price, among other concerns such as cybersecurity exposure.

Basis of Presentation
Our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared by us pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Some of the information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although we believe the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair statement of results for the interim periods have been made. The results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full fiscal year. The Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Annual Report.
We evaluate the composition of our revenues to maintain compliance with SEC Regulation S-X Section 210.5-3, which requires us to separately present certain categories of revenues that exceed the quantitative threshold on our Statements of Operations.
Revenue Recognition
Overview
We evaluate the recognition of revenue based on the criteria set forth in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606 — Revenue from Contracts with Customers and ASC 842 — Leases, as appropriate. We recognize revenue upon transferring control of goods or services to our customers in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to receive in exchange for those goods or services. We enter into contracts with customers that include various performance obligations consisting of goods, services, or combinations of goods and services. Timing of the transfer of control varies based on the nature of the contract. We recognize revenue net of any sales and other taxes collected from customers, which are subsequently remitted to governmental authorities and are not included in revenues or operating expenses. We measure revenue based on the consideration specified in a contract with a customer and adjusted, as necessary.
Disaggregation of Revenues
We disaggregate revenues based on the nature and timing of the cash flows generated by such revenues as presented in “Note 18 — Segment Information.”
Contract Balances
Since our contracts may include multiple performance obligations, there is often a timing difference between cash collections and the satisfaction of such performance obligations and revenue recognition. Such arrangements are evaluated to determine whether contract assets and liabilities exist. We generally record contract assets when the timing of billing differs from when revenue is recognized due to contracts containing specific performance obligations that are required to be met prior to a customer being invoiced. We generally record contract liabilities when cash is collected in advance of us satisfying performance obligations, including those that are satisfied over a period of time. Balances of our contract assets and contract liabilities may fluctuate due to timing of cash collections.
The following table summarizes our contract assets and contract liabilities arising from contracts with customers (in thousands):

We recognized approximately $21.0 million and $19.3 million in revenue that was included in the beginning contract liability balance during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
Games Revenues
Our products and services include electronic gaming devices, such as Native American Class II offerings and other electronic bingo products, Class III slot machine offerings, VLTs, B2B digital online gaming activities, accounting and central determinant systems, and other back office systems. We conduct our Games segment business based on results generated from the following major revenue streams: (i) Gaming Operations; (ii) Gaming Equipment and Systems; and (iii) Gaming Other.
We recognize our Gaming Operations revenue based on criteria set forth in ASC 842 or ASC 606, as applicable. The amount of lease revenue included in our Gaming Operations revenues and recognized under ASC 842 was approximately $49.2 million and $141.6 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively, and $35.9 million and $80.3 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively.
FinTech Revenues
Our FinTech products and services include solutions that we offer to gaming establishments to provide their patrons with financial access and funds-based services supporting digital, cashless and physical cash options across mobile, assisted and self-service channels along with related loyalty and marketing tools, and other information-related products and services. In addition, our services operate as part of an end-to-end security suite to protect against cyber-related attacks and maintain the necessary secured environments to maintain compliance with applicable regulatory requirements. These solutions include: access to cash and cashless funding at gaming facilities via ATM debit withdrawals, credit card financial access transactions, and POS debit card purchases at casino cages, kiosk and mobile POS devices; accounts for the CashClub Wallet, check warranty services, self-service ATMs and fully integrated kiosk and maintenance services; self-service loyalty tools and promotion management software; compliance, audit, and data software; casino credit data and reporting services; marketing and promotional offering subscription-based services; and other ancillary offerings. We conduct our FinTech segment business based on results generated from the following major revenue streams: (i) Financial Access Services; (ii) Software and Other; and (iii) Hardware.
Hardware revenues are derived from the sale of our financial access and loyalty kiosks and related equipment and are accounted for under ASC 606, unless such transactions meet the definition of a sales type or direct financing lease, which are accounted for under ASC 842. We did not have any new financial access kiosk and related equipment sales contracts accounted for under ASC 842 during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020.
Restricted Cash
Our restricted cash primarily consists of: (i) funds held in connection with certain customer agreements; (ii) funds held in connection with a sponsorship agreement; (iii) wide area progressive (“WAP”)-related restricted funds; and (iv) financial access activities related to cashless balances held on behalf of patrons. The following table provides a reconciliation of cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash reported within the Balance Sheets that sum to the total of the same such amounts shown in the statement of cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 (in thousands).

Allowance for Credit Losses
We continually evaluate the collectability of outstanding balances and maintain an allowance for credit losses related to our trade and other receivables and notes receivable that have been determined to have a high risk of uncollectability, which represents our best estimates of the current expected credit losses to be incurred in the future. To derive our estimates, we analyze historical collection trends and changes in our customer payment patterns, current and expected conditions and market trends along with our operating forecasts, concentration, and creditworthiness when evaluating the adequacy of our allowance for credit losses. In addition, with respect to our check warranty receivables, we are exposed to risk for the losses associated with warranted items that cannot be collected from patrons issuing these items. We evaluate the collectability of the outstanding balances and establish a reserve for the face amount of the current expected credit losses related to these receivables. Account balances are charged against the provision when the Company believes it is probable the receivable will not be recovered.
The provision for doubtful accounts receivable is included within operating expenses and the check warranty loss reserves are included within financial access services cost of revenues in the Statements of Operations.

Goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the identifiable tangible and intangible assets acquired plus liabilities assumed arising from business combinations. We test for impairment annually on a reporting unit basis, at the beginning of our fourth fiscal quarter and between annual tests if events and circumstances indicate it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. The annual impairment test is completed using either: a qualitative “Step 0” assessment based on reviewing relevant events and circumstances; or a quantitative “Step 1” assessment, which determines the fair value of the reporting unit, using both an income approach that discounts future cash flows based on the estimated future results of our reporting units and a market approach that compares market multiples of comparable companies to determine whether an impairment exists. To the extent the carrying amount of a reporting unit is less than its estimated fair value, an impairment charge is recorded.
The evaluation of impairment of goodwill requires the use of estimates about future operating results. Changes in forecasted operations can materially affect these estimates, which could materially affect our results of operations and financial condition. The estimates of expected future cash flows require significant judgment and are based on assumptions we determined to be reasonable; however, they are unpredictable and inherently uncertain, including, estimates of future growth rates, operating margins and assumptions about the overall economic climate as well as the competitive environment within which we operate. There can be no assurance that our estimates and assumptions made for purposes of our impairment assessments as of the time of evaluation will prove to be accurate predictions of the future. If our assumptions regarding business plans, competitive environments, or anticipated growth rates are not correct, we may be required to record non-cash impairment charges in future periods, whether in connection with our normal review procedures periodically, or earlier, if an indicator of an impairment is present prior to such evaluation.
Our reporting units are identified as operating segments or one level below. Reporting units must: (i) engage in business activities from which they earn revenues and incur expenses; (ii) have operating results that are regularly reviewed by our segment management to ascertain the resources to be allocated to the segment and assess its performance; and (iii) have discrete financial information available. As of September 30, 2021, our reporting units included: (i) Games; (ii) Financial Access Services; (iii) Kiosk Sales and Services; (iv) Central Credit Services; (v) Compliance Sales and Services; and (vi) Loyalty Sales and Services.
Fair Values of Financial Instruments
The fair value of a financial instrument represents the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced or liquidation sale. Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time, based upon relevant market information about the financial instrument.
The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, settlement receivables, short-term trade and other receivables, settlement liabilities, accounts payable, and accrued expenses approximate fair value due to the short-term maturities of these instruments. The fair value of the long-term trade and loans receivable is estimated by discounting expected future cash flows using current interest rates at which similar loans would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings and remaining maturities. The fair value of long-term accounts payable is estimated by discounting the total obligation using appropriate interest rates. As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the fair value of trade and loans receivable approximated the carrying value due to contractual terms generally being slightly over 12 months. The fair value of our borrowings is estimated based on various inputs to determine a market price, such as: market demand and supply, size of tranche, maturity, and similar instruments trading in more active markets. The estimated fair value and outstanding balances of our borrowings are as follows (dollars in thousands):
 Level of HierarchyFair ValueOutstanding Balance

Leases [Abstract]  
LEASES LEASES
We determine if a contract is, or contains, a lease at the inception, or modification, of a contract based on whether the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. Control over the use of an asset is predicated upon the notion that a lessee has both the right to (i) obtain substantially all of the economic benefit from the use of the asset; and (ii) direct the use of the asset.
Operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and liabilities are recognized based on the present value of minimum lease payments over the expected lease term at commencement date. Lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the expected lease term. Our lease arrangements have both lease and non-lease components, and we have elected the practical expedient to account for the lease and non-lease elements as a single lease.
Certain of our lease arrangements contain options to renew with terms that generally have the ability to extend the lease term to a range of approximately 1 to 10 years. The exercise of lease renewal options is generally at our sole discretion. The expected lease terms include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise such option. The depreciable life of leased assets and leasehold improvements is limited by the expected term of such assets, unless there is a transfer of title or purchase option reasonably certain to be exercised.

We enter into operating lease agreements for real estate purposes that generally consist of buildings for office space and warehouses for manufacturing purposes. Certain of our lease agreements consist of rental payments that are periodically adjusted for inflation. Our lease agreements do not contain material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants. Our lease agreements do not generally provide explicit rates of interest; therefore, we use our incremental collateralized borrowing rate, which is based on a fully collateralized and fully amortizing loan with a maturity date the same as the length of the lease that is based on the information available at the commencement date to determine the present value of lease payments. Leases with an initial expected term of 12 months or less (short-term) are not accounted for on our Balance Sheets. As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, our finance leases were not material.

We generate lease revenues primarily from our gaming operations activities, and the majority of our leases are month-to-month leases. Under these arrangements, we retain ownership of the electronic gaming machines (“EGMs”) installed at customer facilities. We receive recurring revenues based on a percentage of the net win per day generated by the leased gaming equipment or a fixed daily fee. Such revenues are generated daily and are limited to the lesser of the net win per day generated by the leased gaming equipment or the fixed daily fee and the lease payments that have been collected from the lessee. Certain of our leases have terms and conditions with options for a lessee to purchase the underlying assets. Refer to “Note 9 — Property and Equipment” for details of our rental pool assets cost and accumulated depreciation.

Business Combination and Asset Acquisition [Abstract]  
BUSINESS COMBINATIONS BUSINESS COMBINATIONS
We had no material acquisitions for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021.
Atrient, Inc.
On March 8, 2019, we acquired certain assets of Atrient, Inc. (“Atrient,” the “Seller”), a privately held company that developed and distributed hardware and software applications to gaming operators to enhance gaming patron loyalty, pursuant to an asset purchase agreement. This acquisition included existing contracts with gaming operators, technology, and intellectual property that allow us to provide gaming operators with self-service enrollment, loyalty and marketing equipment, a mobile application to offer a gaming operator’s patrons additional flexibility in accessing casino promotions, and a marketing platform that manages and delivers a gaming operator’s marketing programs through these patron interfaces. This acquisition expanded our financial technology solutions offerings within our FinTech segment. Under the terms of the asset purchase agreement, we paid the Seller $20.0 million at the closing of the transaction, $10.0 million one year following the closing and another $10.0 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The related liabilities were recorded at fair value on the acquisition date as part of the consideration transferred and were included in accounts payable and accrued expenses as of December 31, 2020.
Furthermore, an additional amount of approximately $9.9 million in contingent consideration was earned by the Seller based upon the achievement of certain revenue targets over the first two years post-closing, which we paid in June 2021. The related liabilities were recorded at fair value on the acquisition date as part of the consideration transferred and were remeasured each reporting period. The inputs used to measure the fair value of our liabilities were categorized as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. Contingent consideration liabilities as of December 31, 2020 were approximately $9.9 million, and were included in accounts payable and accrued expenses in our Balance Sheets as of December 31, 2020.
Micro Gaming Technologies, Inc.
On December 24, 2019, we acquired certain assets of Micro Gaming Technologies, Inc. (“MGT”), a privately held company that developed and distributed kiosks and software applications to gaming patrons to enhance patron loyalty, in an asset purchase agreement. The acquired assets consisted of existing contracts with gaming operators, technology, and intellectual property intended to allow us to provide gaming operators with self-service patron loyalty functionality delivered through stand-alone kiosk equipment and a marketing platform that manages and delivers gaming operators marketing programs through these patron interfaces. This acquisition further expanded our financial technology loyalty offerings within our FinTech segment. Under the terms of the asset purchase agreement, we paid MGT $15.0 million at the closing of the transaction, with an additional $5.0 million due by April 1, 2020 and a final payment of $5.0 million due two years following the date of closing.
In the second quarter of 2020, we entered into an amendment to the asset purchase agreement allowing us to remit the additional $5.0 million by July 1, 2020, which we paid in June 2020. The final payment of $5.0 million due by July 1, 2021 was paid in June 2021. The related liabilities were recorded at fair value on the acquisition date as part of the consideration transferred and was included in accounts payable and accrued expenses as of December 31, 2020. The total consideration for this acquisition was $25.0 million. The acquisition did not have a significant impact on our results of operations or financial condition.

A T M Funding Agreement Disclosure [Abstract]  
FUNDING AGREEMENTS FUNDING AGREEMENTS
We have commercial arrangements with third-party vendors to provide cash for certain of our fund dispensing devices. For the use of these funds, we pay a usage fee on either the average daily balance of funds utilized multiplied by a contractually defined usage rate or the amounts supplied multiplied by a contractually defined usage rate. These fund usage fees, reflected as interest expense within the Statements of Operations, were approximately $1.2 million and $2.9 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively, and approximately $0.7 million and $2.5 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively. We are exposed to interest rate risk to the extent that the applicable rates increase.
Under these agreements, the currency supplied by third party vendors remain their sole property until the funds are dispensed. As these funds are not our assets, supplied cash is not reflected in our Balance Sheets. The outstanding balance of funds provided from the third parties were approximately $401.5 million and $340.3 million as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.
Our primary commercial arrangement, the Contract Cash Solutions Agreement, as amended, is with Wells Fargo, N.A. (“Wells Fargo”). Wells Fargo provides us with cash up to $300 million with the ability to increase the amount as defined within the agreement or otherwise permitted by the vault cash provider. The term of the agreement expires on June 30, 2023 and will automatically renew for additional one-year periods unless either party provides a ninety-day written notice of its intent not to renew.
We are responsible for losses of cash in the fund dispensing devices under this agreement, and we self-insure for this type of risk. There were no material losses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets Disclosure [Abstract]  
GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS
Goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the identifiable tangible and intangible assets acquired plus liabilities assumed arising from business combinations. The balance of goodwill was approximately $682.0 million at September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. We have the following reporting units: (i) Games; (ii) Financial Access Services; (iii) Kiosk Sales and Services; (iv) Central Credit Services; (v) Compliance Sales and Services; and (vi) Loyalty Sales and Services.
In accordance with ASC 350 (“Intangibles—Goodwill and Other”), we test goodwill at the reporting unit level, which is identified as an operating segment or one level below, for impairment on an annual basis and between annual tests if events and circumstances indicate it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount.
We test our goodwill for impairment on October 1 each year, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. The annual impairment test is completed using either: a qualitative “Step 0” assessment based on reviewing relevant events and circumstances or a quantitative “Step 1” assessment, which determines the fair value of the reporting unit, using both an income approach that discounts future cash flows based on the estimated future results of our reporting units and a market approach that compares market multiples of comparable companies to determine whether or not any impairment exists. To the extent the carrying amount of a reporting unit is less than its estimated fair value, an impairment charge is recorded.
There was no impairment identified for our goodwill for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020.

In September 2021, we entered into a placement fee agreement with a customer for certain of its locations for approximately $28.9 million. There were no payments made in connection with the placement fees for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021. We paid approximately $2.1 million and $3.0 million in placement fees for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020. The payment for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 did not include imputed interest.
We evaluate our other intangible assets for potential impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset or asset group may not be recoverable. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, there were no material write-downs of intangible assets.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, we recorded a full write-down of assets of approximately $5.9 million, of which $5.5 million and $0.4 million, related to our Games and FinTech business, respectively, for certain of our internally developed and third-party software projects that were not expected to be pursued. This charge was reflected in operating expenses of our Statement of Operations.

New Credit Facilities
The Company, as borrower, entered into a credit agreement dated as of August 3, 2021 (the “Closing Date”), among the Company, the lenders party thereto and Jefferies Finance LLC, as administrative agent, collateral agent, swing line lender and a letter of credit issuer (the “New Credit Agreement”). The New Credit Agreement provides for: (i) a seven-year $600 million senior secured term loan due 2028 issued at 99.75% of par (the “New Term Loan); and (ii) a $125 million senior secured revolving credit facility due 2026, which was undrawn at closing (the “New Revolver” and together with the New Term Loan, the “New Credit Facilities”).
The fees associated with the New Credit Facilities were approximately $13.9 million, which included discounts of approximately $1.5 million.
The interest rate per annum applicable to the New Credit Facilities will be, at the Company’s option, either the Eurodollar rate with a 0.50% LIBOR floor plus a margin of 2.50% or the base rate plus a margin of 1.50%.
The New Revolver is available for general corporate purposes, including permitted acquisitions, working capital and the issuance of letters of credit. Borrowings under the New Revolver are subject to the satisfaction of customary conditions, including the absence of defaults and the accuracy of representations and warranties.
The Company is required to make periodic payments on the New Term Loan in an amount equal to 0.25% per quarter of the initial aggregate principal, with the final principal repayment installment on the maturity date. Interest is due in arrears on each interest payment date applicable thereto and at such other times as may be specified in the New Credit Agreement. As to any loan other than a base rate loan, the interest payment dates shall be the last day of each interest period applicable to such loan and the maturity date (provided, however, that if any interest period for a Eurodollar Rate loan exceeds three months, the respective dates that fall every three months after the beginning of such interest period shall also be interest payment dates). As to any base rate loan, commencing on the last business day of December 2021, the interest payment dates shall be last business day of each of March, June, September and December and the maturity date.
Voluntary prepayments of the New Term Loan and the New Revolver and voluntary reductions in the unused commitments are permitted in whole or in part, in minimum amounts as set forth in the New Credit Agreement governing the New Credit Facilities, with prior notice, and without premium or penalty, except that certain refinancings or repricings of the New Term Loan within six months after the Closing Date will be subject to a prepayment premium of 1.00% of the principal amount repaid.
The New Credit Agreement contains certain covenants that, among other things, limit the Company’s ability, and the ability of certain of its subsidiaries, to incur additional indebtedness, sell assets or consolidate or merge with or into other companies, pay dividends or repurchase or redeem capital stock, make certain investments, issue capital stock of subsidiaries, incur liens, prepay, redeem or repurchase subordinated debt, and enter into certain types of transactions with its affiliates. The New Credit Agreement also requires the Company, together with its subsidiaries, to comply with a maximum consolidated secured leverage ratio of 4.25:1.00 as of the measurement date.
The weighted average interest rate on the New Term Loan was 3.00% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021.
2021 Senior Unsecured Notes
On July 15, 2021, the Company, as issuer, completed the previously announced offering (the “Offering”) of $400 million in aggregate principal amount of Everi’s 5.00% senior unsecured notes due 2029 (the “2021 Unsecured Notes”). Pursuant to a Purchase Agreement dated June 30, 2021 (the “Purchase Agreement”) by and among the Company and certain of Everi’s direct and indirect domestic subsidiaries, as guarantors (collectively the “Guarantors”), and Jefferies LLC as representative of the several initial purchasers (collectively the “Initial Purchasers”), the Company issued, at a price of par, and sold the 2021 Unsecured Notes to the Initial Purchasers for resale to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and to certain non-U.S. persons pursuant to Regulation S of the Securities Act. The 2021 Unsecured Notes, and guarantees thereof, have not been and will not be registered under the Securities Act or the securities laws of any state or other jurisdictions, and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws.
The fees associated with the 2021 Unsecured Notes included debt issuance costs of approximately $5.9 million.
The 2021 Unsecured Notes were issued under an indenture (the “Indenture”) dated July 15, 2021 by and among Everi, the Guarantors and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as trustee (the “Trustee”). The 2021 Unsecured Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by the Guarantors. Interest on the 2021 Unsecured Notes accrues at a rate of 5.00% per annum and is payable semi-annually in arrears on each January 15 and July 15 (the “Interest Payment Dates”), commencing on January 15, 2022. The Company will make each interest payment to the holders of record on each January 1 and July 1 immediately preceding the Interest Payment Dates. The 2021 Unsecured Notes will mature on July 15, 2029.
The 2021 Unsecured Notes and the related guarantees are senior obligations of Everi and the Guarantors, respectively, and rank equally with all of the Company’s and each Guarantor’s present and future senior indebtedness and rank senior in right of payment to all of Everi’s and each Guarantor’s present and future subordinated indebtedness. The 2021 Unsecured Notes and related guarantees are effectively subordinated to all of Everi’s and each Guarantor’s present and future secured indebtedness (to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness). The 2021 Unsecured Notes are structurally subordinated in right of payment to all present and future indebtedness and other liabilities of the Company’s subsidiaries that do not guarantee the 2021 Unsecured Notes.
The Company will have the option to redeem some, or all, of the 2021 Unsecured Notes at any time on, or after, July 15, 2024 at the redemption prices set forth in the Indenture, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of redemption. Everi will also have the option to redeem some, or all, of the 2021 Unsecured Notes at any time prior to July 15, 2024 at a redemption price of 100% of the principal amount of the 2021 Unsecured Notes to be redeemed, plus an applicable premium and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of redemption. In addition, at any time before July 15, 2024, the Company may redeem up to 40% of the aggregate principal amount of the 2021 Unsecured Notes at a redemption price of 105.00% of the principal amount of the 2021 Unsecured Notes redeemed together with accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date with the proceeds from certain equity issuances. The 2021 Unsecured Notes are also subject to redemption requirements under state and local gaming laws and regulations. If Everi experiences specified changes of control, the Company may be required to offer to purchase the 2021 Unsecured Notes at 101% of their aggregate principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of purchase.
The Indenture contains customary covenants restricting the Company’s ability and the ability of its restricted subsidiaries to, among other things: (i) incur additional indebtedness or issue certain preferred stock; (ii) pay dividends or repurchase or redeem capital stock or make other restricted payments; (iii) limit dividends or other payments by the Company’s restricted subsidiaries to the Company or the Company’s other restricted subsidiaries; (iv) incur certain liens; (v) enter into transactions with affiliates; (vi) become an investment company; (vii) consolidate or merge with or into certain other companies; and (viii) designate certain of the Company’s subsidiaries as unrestricted subsidiaries under the Indenture. These covenants are subject to a number of important limitations and exceptions, including certain provisions permitting the Company, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, to transfer assets to certain of the Company’s unrestricted subsidiaries. The Indenture also contains customary events of default. Upon an event of default under the Indenture, the Trustee or the holders of at least 30% in aggregate principal amount of the 2021 Unsecured Notes then outstanding may declare all amounts owing under the 2021 Unsecured Notes to be due and payable.
Refinancing and Repayment
The proceeds from the New Term Loan incurred on the Closing Date, together with the proceeds of the $400 million in aggregate principal amount of the Company’s 2021 Unsecured Notes, issued at a price of par on July 15, 2021, and cash on hand were used to: (i) prepay in full and terminate all commitments under the Everi Payments Inc. (“Everi Payments”) existing credit facility in the aggregate original principal amount of $820 million with an outstanding balance of approximately $735.5 million with Jefferies Finance LLC, as administrative agent, collateral agent, swing line lender, letter of credit issuer, sole lead arranger and sole book manager (the “Prior Term Loan”); (ii) redeem in full the Everi Payments 7.50% Senior Unsecured Notes due in 2025 (the “2017 Unsecured Notes”) in the aggregate original principal amount of $375.0 million with an outstanding balance of approximately $285.4 million with Everi Payments, the Company and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as Trustee; (iii) prepay in full and terminate all commitments under the Everi Payments existing incremental term loan facility (the “Prior Incremental Term Loan”) in the aggregate original principal amount of $125 million with an outstanding balance of approximately $123.8 million with the lenders party thereto and Jefferies Finance LLC, as administrative agent and collateral agent; and (iv) pay related transaction fees and expenses with respect to the aforementioned debt instruments.
During the three months ended September 30, 2021, in connection with these refinancing and repayment activities, the total fees were approximately $40.6 million, comprised of approximately $20.8 million of early redemption penalties and make-whole interest associated with the prior debt instruments and approximately $19.8 million of capitalized debt issuance costs attributable to the new debt instruments.

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]  
COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
We are involved in various legal proceedings in the ordinary course of our business. While we believe resolution of the claims brought against us, both individually and in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse impact on our financial condition or results of operations, litigation of this nature is inherently unpredictable. Our views on these legal proceedings, including those described below, may change in the future. We intend to vigorously defend against these actions, and ultimately believe we should prevail.
Legal Contingencies
We evaluate matters and record an accrual for legal contingencies when it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount or range of the loss may be reasonably estimated. We evaluate legal contingencies at least quarterly and, as appropriate, establish new accruals or adjust existing accruals to reflect: (i) the facts and circumstances known to us at the time, including information regarding negotiations, settlements, rulings, and other relevant events and developments; (ii) the advice and analyses of counsel; and (iii) the assumptions and judgment of management. Legal costs associated with such proceedings are expensed as incurred. Due to the inherent uncertainty of legal proceedings as a result of the procedural, factual, and legal issues involved, the outcomes of our legal contingencies could result in losses in excess of amounts we have accrued.
We accrued approximately $14.0 million for the legal contingencies in December 2019 in connection with Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act (“FACTA”)-related matters based on ongoing settlement negotiations by and among the various plaintiffs described in the FACTA-related matters discussion below and Everi by and on behalf of itself and Everi FinTech. We expected to recover approximately $7.7 million of the amount accrued from certain of our insurance providers in 2021, for which we had recorded an insurance settlement receivable included within trade and other receivables, net on our Balance Sheets. In addition, we were granted relief from Peleus Insurance Company pursuant to the provisions of our policy.
In the first quarter of 2021, we entered into a settlement agreement and received funds from our third-tier insurance carrier in the amount of approximately $1.9 million related to the FACTA matters. We recorded these proceeds against our operating expenses in our Statements of Operations for the first quarter of 2021. In total, the receivables expected have been received in full and the expenses accrued have been paid in full, which resulted in total funds received from our insurance providers of approximately $9.6 million and a net charge of approximately $4.4 million to our Statements of Operations, of which approximately $6.3 million was recorded in December 2019, offset by the reduction of operating expenses of $1.9 million received and recorded in the first quarter of 2021.
We did not have any new material legal matters that were accrued as of September 30, 2021. We received service of process on two (2) new legal matters (Sadie Saavedra matter and Sightline Payments matter) described below.
FACTA-related matters:
Geraldine Donahue, et al. v. Everi Payments Inc., et al. (“Donahue”) is a putative class action matter filed on December 12, 2018, in the Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois County Division, Chancery Division. The original defendant was dismissed and Everi Holdings and FinTech were substituted as the defendants on April 22, 2019. The plaintiff, on behalf of himself and others similarly situated, alleges that Everi Holdings and Everi FinTech (i) have violated certain provisions of FACTA by their failure, as agent to the original defendant, to properly truncate patron credit card numbers when printing financial access receipts as required under FACTA, and (ii) have been unjustly enriched through the charging of service fees for transactions conducted at the original defendant’s facilities. The plaintiff sought an award of statutory damages, attorneys’ fees, and costs. The parties settled this matter on a nationwide class basis. On December 3, 2020, the Court entered the Final Order and Judgment approving the settlement and dismissing all claims asserted against Defendants with prejudice. Everi Holdings and Everi FinTech have paid all funds required pursuant to the settlement. Distributions were made to class members and remaining unclaimed funds will be distributed to nonprofit charitable organizations in compliance with the Court’s October 4, 2021, approval. When the distribution of unclaimed funds to charitable organizations is complete, the parties will file a joint notice of completion of all settlement terms and ask the Court to close the file.
NRT matter:
NRT Technology Corp., et al. v. Everi Holdings Inc., et al. is a civil action filed on April 30, 2019 against Everi Holdings and Everi FinTech in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware by NRT Technology Corp. and NRT Technology, Inc., alleging monopolization of the market for unmanned, integrated kiosks in violation of federal antitrust laws, fraudulent procurement of patents on functionality related to such unmanned, integrated kiosks and sham litigation related to prior litigation brought by Everi FinTech (operating as Global Cash Access Inc.) against the plaintiff entities. The plaintiffs are seeking compensatory damages, treble damages, and injunctive and declaratory relief. This case is currently proceeding through the discovery process. We are currently unable to determine the probability of the outcome or estimate the range of reasonably possible loss, if any, in this matter.
Zenergy Systems, LLC matter:
Zenergy Systems, LLC v. Everi Payments Inc. is a civil action filed on May 29, 2020, against Everi FinTech in the United States District Court for the District of Nevada, Clark County by Zenergy Systems, LLC, alleging breach of contract, breach of a non-disclosure agreement, conversion, breach of the covenant of good faith and fair dealing, and breach of a confidential relationship related to a contract with Everi FinTech that expired in November 2019. The plaintiff is seeking compensatory and punitive damages. Everi FinTech has counterclaimed against Zenergy alleging breach of contract, breach of implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing, and for declaratory relief. This case is currently proceeding through the discovery process. We are currently unable to determine the probability of the outcome or estimate the range of reasonably possible loss, if any, in this matter.
Sadie Saavedra matter:
Sadie Saavedra, et al. v. Everi Payments Inc., et al. is a civil action filed on August 30, 2021, against Everi Holdings and Everi FinTech in the United States District Court, Central District of California (Western Division) by Sadie Saavedra, individually and on behalf of a class of similarly situated individuals, alleging violations of the Unfair Competition Law (California Business & Professions Code § 17200) and unjust enrichment. The plaintiffs allege that certain of Everi’s ATMs screen are deceptive and designed to maximize the number of transaction fees and mislead consumers into incurring fees for transactions they did not wish to conduct. The plaintiffs are seeking restitution, injunctive relief and attorneys’ fees. We are in the early stages of litigation and currently unable to determine the probability of the outcome or estimate the range of reasonably possible loss, if any, in this matter.

Sightline Payments matter:
Sightline Payments LLC v. Everi Holdings Inc., et al. is a civil action filed on September 30, 2021, against Everi Holdings, Everi FinTech, Everi Games Holding Inc., and Everi Games in the United States District Court, Western District of Texas (Waco Division) by Sightline Payments LLC alleging patent infringement in violation of 35 U.S.C. § 271 et seq. The plaintiff’s complaint alleges that Everi’s CashClub Wallet product infringes on certain patents owned by the plaintiff. The plaintiff is seeking compensatory damages. We are in the early stages of litigation and currently unable to determine the probability of the outcome or estimate the range of reasonably possible loss, if any, in this matter.
In addition, we have commitments with respect to certain lease obligations discussed in “Note 3 — Leases” and installment payments under our asset purchase agreements discussed in “Note 4 — Business Combinations.”

Stockholders' Equity Note [Abstract]  
STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITYOn February 28, 2020, our Board of Directors authorized and approved a new share repurchase program granting us the authority to repurchase an amount not to exceed $10.0 million of outstanding Company common stock with no minimum number of shares that the Company is required to repurchase. This repurchase program commenced in the first quarter of 2020 and authorizes us to buy our common stock from time to time in open market transactions, block trades or in private transactions in accordance with trading plans established in accordance with Rules 10b5-1 and 10b-18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or by a combination of such methods, including compliance with the Company’s finance agreements. The share repurchase program is subject to available liquidity, general market and economic conditions, alternate uses for the capital and other factors, and may be suspended or discontinued at any time without prior notice. In light of COVID-19, we have suspended our share repurchase program. There were no share repurchases during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

INCOME TAXES

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]  
INCOME TAXES INCOME TAXESThe income tax benefit for the three months ended September 30, 2021, reflected an effective income tax rate of negative 5.0%. The income tax provision for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, reflected an effective income tax rate of 2.0%. Those rates were lower than the statutory federal rate of 21.0%, primarily due to a decrease in our valuation allowance for our deferred tax assets and the benefit from stock option exercises. The decrease in our valuation allowance was primarily due to book income earned during the period. The income tax provision for the three months ended September 30, 2020 reflected an effective income tax rate of 205.4%, which was greater than the statutory federal rate of 21.0%, primarily due to an increase in our valuation allowance as a result of a reduction of certain indefinite-lived deferred tax assets that can be offset against our indefinite-lived deferred tax liabilities. The income tax benefit for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 reflected an effective income tax rate of 4.0%, which was less than the statutory federal rate of 21.0%, primarily due to an increase in our valuation allowance due to book loss incurred during the period, partially offset by certain indefinite-lived deferred tax assets that can be offset against our indefinite-lived deferred tax liabilities.
Our U.S. federal and states operating businesses had deferred tax asset valuation allowances of approximately $64.3 million as of September 30, 2021. The deferred tax assets are reviewed on a quarterly basis, and based on our most recent analysis as of September 30, 2021, we continued to maintain a full valuation allowance in these jurisdictions. The significant positive evidence in our analysis included: improvements in profitability, product mix, capital levels, credit metrics and a stabilizing economy. The most significant negative evidence continued to be a three-year cumulative loss position. We believe the negative evidence continued to outweigh the positive evidence as of September 30, 2021. To the extent the negative evidence of a three-year cumulative loss is no longer present, and future longer-term forecasts show sustained profitability, our conclusion regarding the need for full valuation allowances could change, which may lead to the reversal of a significant portion of our valuation allowances.
We have analyzed filing positions in all of the federal, state, and foreign jurisdictions where we are required to file income tax returns, as well as all open tax years in these jurisdictions. As of September 30, 2021, we recorded approximately $1.7 million of unrecognized tax benefits, all of which would impact our effective tax rate, if recognized. We do not anticipate that our unrecognized tax benefits will materially change within the next 12 months. We have not accrued any penalties and interest for our unrecognized tax benefits. We may, from time to time, be assessed interest or penalties by tax jurisdictions, although any such assessments historically have been minimal and immaterial to our financial results. Our policy for recording interest and penalties associated with audits and unrecognized tax benefits is to record such items as a component of income tax in our Statements of Operations.

Segment Reporting [Abstract]  
SEGMENT INFORMATION SEGMENT INFORMATION
Operating segments are components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision-making group (the “CODM”). Our CODM consists of the Chief Executive Officer, the President and Chief Operating Officer, and the Chief Financial Officer. Our CODM allocates resources and measures profitability based on our operating segments, which are managed and reviewed separately, as each represents products and services that can be sold separately to our customers. Our segments are monitored by management for performance against our internal forecasts.
We have reported our financial performance based on our segments in both the current and prior periods. Our CODM determined that our operating segments for conducting business are: (i) Games and (ii) FinTech:
The Games segment provides solutions directly to gaming establishments to offer their patrons gaming entertainment- related experiences including: leased gaming equipment; sales of gaming equipment; gaming systems; digital online solutions; and ancillary products and services.
The FinTech segment provides solutions directly to gaming establishments to offer their patrons financial access-related services and products, including: access to cash and cashless funding at gaming facilities via debit withdrawals; credit card financial access transactions and POS debit card financial access transactions; check warranty services; kiosks for financial access and other services; self-service enrollment, loyalty and marketing equipment; maintenance services; compliance, audit, and data software; casino credit data and reporting services, and other ancillary offerings.
Corporate overhead expenses have been allocated to the segments either through specific identification or based on a reasonable methodology. In addition, we record depreciation and amortization expenses to the business segments.
Our business is predominantly domestic with no specific regional concentrations and no significant assets in foreign locations.

Revenue Recognition
Revenue Recognition
Overview
We evaluate the recognition of revenue based on the criteria set forth in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606 — Revenue from Contracts with Customers and ASC 842 — Leases, as appropriate. We recognize revenue upon transferring control of goods or services to our customers in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to receive in exchange for those goods or services. We enter into contracts with customers that include various performance obligations consisting of goods, services, or combinations of goods and services. Timing of the transfer of control varies based on the nature of the contract. We recognize revenue net of any sales and other taxes collected from customers, which are subsequently remitted to governmental authorities and are not included in revenues or operating expenses. We measure revenue based on the consideration specified in a contract with a customer and adjusted, as necessary.
Disaggregation of Revenues
We disaggregate revenues based on the nature and timing of the cash flows generated by such revenues as presented in “Note 18 — Segment Information.”
Contract Balances
Since our contracts may include multiple performance obligations, there is often a timing difference between cash collections and the satisfaction of such performance obligations and revenue recognition. Such arrangements are evaluated to determine whether contract assets and liabilities exist. We generally record contract assets when the timing of billing differs from when revenue is recognized due to contracts containing specific performance obligations that are required to be met prior to a customer being invoiced. We generally record contract liabilities when cash is collected in advance of us satisfying performance obligations, including those that are satisfied over a period of time. Balances of our contract assets and contract liabilities may fluctuate due to timing of cash collections.
The following table summarizes our contract assets and contract liabilities arising from contracts with customers (in thousands):

We recognized approximately $21.0 million and $19.3 million in revenue that was included in the beginning contract liability balance during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
Games Revenues
Our products and services include electronic gaming devices, such as Native American Class II offerings and other electronic bingo products, Class III slot machine offerings, VLTs, B2B digital online gaming activities, accounting and central determinant systems, and other back office systems. We conduct our Games segment business based on results generated from the following major revenue streams: (i) Gaming Operations; (ii) Gaming Equipment and Systems; and (iii) Gaming Other.
We recognize our Gaming Operations revenue based on criteria set forth in ASC 842 or ASC 606, as applicable. The amount of lease revenue included in our Gaming Operations revenues and recognized under ASC 842 was approximately $49.2 million and $141.6 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively, and $35.9 million and $80.3 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively.
FinTech Revenues
Our FinTech products and services include solutions that we offer to gaming establishments to provide their patrons with financial access and funds-based services supporting digital, cashless and physical cash options across mobile, assisted and self-service channels along with related loyalty and marketing tools, and other information-related products and services. In addition, our services operate as part of an end-to-end security suite to protect against cyber-related attacks and maintain the necessary secured environments to maintain compliance with applicable regulatory requirements. These solutions include: access to cash and cashless funding at gaming facilities via ATM debit withdrawals, credit card financial access transactions, and POS debit card purchases at casino cages, kiosk and mobile POS devices; accounts for the CashClub Wallet, check warranty services, self-service ATMs and fully integrated kiosk and maintenance services; self-service loyalty tools and promotion management software; compliance, audit, and data software; casino credit data and reporting services; marketing and promotional offering subscription-based services; and other ancillary offerings. We conduct our FinTech segment business based on results generated from the following major revenue streams: (i) Financial Access Services; (ii) Software and Other; and (iii) Hardware.
Hardware revenues are derived from the sale of our financial access and loyalty kiosks and related equipment and are accounted for under ASC 606, unless such transactions meet the definition of a sales type or direct financing lease, which are accounted for under ASC 842. We did not have any new financial access kiosk and related equipment sales contracts accounted for under ASC 842 during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020.
Restricted Cash Restricted CashOur restricted cash primarily consists of: (i) funds held in connection with certain customer agreements; (ii) funds held in connection with a sponsorship agreement; (iii) wide area progressive (“WAP”)-related restricted funds; and (iv) financial access activities related to cashless balances held on behalf of patrons.
Allowance for Credit Losses
Allowance for Credit Losses
We continually evaluate the collectability of outstanding balances and maintain an allowance for credit losses related to our trade and other receivables and notes receivable that have been determined to have a high risk of uncollectability, which represents our best estimates of the current expected credit losses to be incurred in the future. To derive our estimates, we analyze historical collection trends and changes in our customer payment patterns, current and expected conditions and market trends along with our operating forecasts, concentration, and creditworthiness when evaluating the adequacy of our allowance for credit losses. In addition, with respect to our check warranty receivables, we are exposed to risk for the losses associated with warranted items that cannot be collected from patrons issuing these items. We evaluate the collectability of the outstanding balances and establish a reserve for the face amount of the current expected credit losses related to these receivables. Account balances are charged against the provision when the Company believes it is probable the receivable will not be recovered.
The provision for doubtful accounts receivable is included within operating expenses and the check warranty loss reserves are included within financial access services cost of revenues in the Statements of Operations.
Goodwill
Goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the identifiable tangible and intangible assets acquired plus liabilities assumed arising from business combinations. We test for impairment annually on a reporting unit basis, at the beginning of our fourth fiscal quarter and between annual tests if events and circumstances indicate it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. The annual impairment test is completed using either: a qualitative “Step 0” assessment based on reviewing relevant events and circumstances; or a quantitative “Step 1” assessment, which determines the fair value of the reporting unit, using both an income approach that discounts future cash flows based on the estimated future results of our reporting units and a market approach that compares market multiples of comparable companies to determine whether an impairment exists. To the extent the carrying amount of a reporting unit is less than its estimated fair value, an impairment charge is recorded.
The evaluation of impairment of goodwill requires the use of estimates about future operating results. Changes in forecasted operations can materially affect these estimates, which could materially affect our results of operations and financial condition. The estimates of expected future cash flows require significant judgment and are based on assumptions we determined to be reasonable; however, they are unpredictable and inherently uncertain, including, estimates of future growth rates, operating margins and assumptions about the overall economic climate as well as the competitive environment within which we operate. There can be no assurance that our estimates and assumptions made for purposes of our impairment assessments as of the time of evaluation will prove to be accurate predictions of the future. If our assumptions regarding business plans, competitive environments, or anticipated growth rates are not correct, we may be required to record non-cash impairment charges in future periods, whether in connection with our normal review procedures periodically, or earlier, if an indicator of an impairment is present prior to such evaluation.
Our reporting units are identified as operating segments or one level below. Reporting units must: (i) engage in business activities from which they earn revenues and incur expenses; (ii) have operating results that are regularly reviewed by our segment management to ascertain the resources to be allocated to the segment and assess its performance; and (iii) have discrete financial information available.
Fair Values of Financial Instruments
Fair Values of Financial Instruments
The fair value of a financial instrument represents the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced or liquidation sale. Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time, based upon relevant market information about the financial instrument.
The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, settlement receivables, short-term trade and other receivables, settlement liabilities, accounts payable, and accrued expenses approximate fair value due to the short-term maturities of these instruments. The fair value of the long-term trade and loans receivable is estimated by discounting expected future cash flows using current interest rates at which similar loans would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings and remaining maturities. The fair value of long-term accounts payable is estimated by discounting the total obligation using appropriate interest rates.
