As of March 31, 2025, we had approximately $14,485,000 of contracts that were closed prior to March 31, 2025 but have a contractual period beyond March 31, 2025. This represents an increase of $35,000 or 0.2% compared to $14,450,000 of performance obligations as of December 31, 2024. These contracts generally cover a term of one to five years, in which the Company will recognize revenue ratably over the contract term. Performance obligations for large contracts gradually decrease as they approach the renewal stage and increase if and when renewed. We currently expect to recognize approximately 89% of this amount over the succeeding twelve months, and the remainder is expected to be recognized over the following four years. On occasion, our customers will prepay the full contract or a substantial portion of the contract. Amounts related to the prepayment of the contract related to the performance obligation for a service period that is not yet met are recorded as part of our contract liabilities balance.
