Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)
NOTE 1 — BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements of AudioEye, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, ADA Site Compliance, LLC, Criterion 508 Solutions, Inc., and Ability, Inc. (“we”, “our” or the “Company”), have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP” or “GAAP”) and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), and should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 (the “2024 Form 10-K”), as filed with the SEC on March 12, 2025.
In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of financial position and the results of operations for the interim periods presented have been reflected herein. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. Certain information and disclosures normally contained in the audited consolidated financial statements as reported in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K have been condensed or omitted in accordance with the SEC’s rules and regulations for interim reporting.
NOTE 2 — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Our significant accounting policies are presented in “Note 2 – Significant Accounting Policies” in the 2024 Form 10-K. Users of financial information for interim periods are encouraged to refer to the footnotes to the consolidated financial statements contained in the 2024 Form 10-K when reviewing interim financial results.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses, and the related disclosures at the date of the consolidated financial statements and during the reporting period. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its estimates and judgments, including those related to stock-based compensation, allowance for doubtful accounts, intangible assets, and contingent consideration. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
Revenue Recognition
We derive our revenue primarily from the sale of internally developed software by a software-as-a-service (“SaaS”) delivery model, as well as from professional services, through our direct sales force or through third-party resellers. Our SaaS fees include support and maintenance.
We recognize revenue in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606,Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”). The core principle of ASC 606 is that an entity recognizes revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services.
We determine revenue recognition through the following five steps:
| ● | Identify the contract with the customer; |
| ● | Identify the performance obligations in the contract; |
| ● | Determine the transaction price; |
| ● | Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and |
| ● | Recognize revenue when, or as, the performance obligations are satisfied. |
Performance obligations are the unit of accounting for revenue recognition and generally represent the distinct goods or services that are promised to the customer.
Our SaaS revenue is comprised of fixed subscription fees from customer accounts on our platform related to our software products. Our support revenue is comprised of subscription fees for customers for periodic auditing, human-assisted technological remediations, legal support, and other professional support services. SaaS and support (also referred to as “subscription”) revenue is recognized on a ratable basis over the contractual subscription term of the arrangement beginning on the date that our service is made available to the customer. Certain SaaS and support fees are invoiced in advance on an annual, semi-annual, or quarterly basis. Any funds received for services not provided yet are held in deferred revenue and are recorded as revenue when the related performance obligations have been satisfied. Our subscription agreements are generally non-cancelable, although clients typically have the right to terminate their contracts for cause if we fail to perform material obligations.
Non-subscription revenue consists primarily of PDF remediation and one-time website and mobile application reporting services and is recognized upon delivery. Consideration payable under PDF remediation arrangements is based on usage. Consideration payable under non-subscription website and mobile application reporting services arrangements is based on fixed fees.
The following tables present our revenues disaggregated by sales channel:

| Enterprise | | 8,671 | | | 6,849 | |
| Total revenues | | $19,590 | | $16,553 | | |
The Company records accounts receivable for amounts invoiced to customers for which the Company has an unconditional right to consideration as provided under the contractual arrangement. Deferred revenue includes payments received in advance of performance under the contract and is reported on an individual contract basis at the end of each reporting period. Deferred revenue is classified as current or noncurrent based on the timing of when we expect to recognize revenue.
The table below summarizes our deferred revenue as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024:
| | | | | | | | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| · June 30, · · December 31, | |||||||

| Deferred revenue - noncurrent | | | 7 | | | 16 | |
| Total deferred revenue | $8,229 | $7,518 | |||||
In the three-month period ended June 30, 2025, we recognized $2,277,000, or 30%, in revenue from deferred revenue outstanding as of December 31, 2024. In the six-month period ended June 30, 2025, we recognized $5,951,000, or 79%, in revenue from deferred revenue outstanding as of December 31, 2024.
We hadone customer (including the customer’s affiliates reflecting multiple contracts and a partnership with the Company) which accounted for approximately 13% and 14% of our total revenue in the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively, and 16% of our total revenue in each of the three and six months ended June 30, 2024.
As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, one customer represented 11% and 14% of total accounts receivable, respectively.
Deferred Costs (Contract Acquisition Costs)
We capitalize initial and renewal sales commissions in the period the commission is earned, which generally occurs when a customer contract is obtained, and amortize deferred commission costs on a straight-line basis over the expected period of benefit, which we have deemed to be the contract term. As a practical expedient, we expense sales commissions as incurred when the amortization period of related deferred commission costs would have been one year or less.
The table below summarizes the deferred commission costs as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, which are included in Prepaid expenses and other current assets (current portion) and Other assets (noncurrent portion) on our consolidated balance sheets:
| · · · · · · · | |||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| · June 30, · · December 31, | |||||
| (in thousands) · 2025 · 2024 · | |||||
| Deferred costs – current | | $31 | | $28 | |
| Deferred costs - noncurrent | | 30 | | 32 | |
| Total deferred costs | | $61 | | $60 | |
Amortization expense associated with sales commissions was included in Selling and marketing expenses on the consolidated statements of operations and totaled $8,000 and $17,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively, and $6,000 and $16,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively.
Business Combinations
The assets acquired, liabilities assumed and any contingent consideration in business combinations are recorded at their estimated fair value on the acquisition date with subsequent changes recognized in earnings. These estimates are inherently uncertain and are subject to refinement. Management develops estimates based on assumptions as part of the purchase price allocation process to value the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the business combination date. As a result, the Company may recognize adjustments to provisional amounts of assets acquired or liabilities assumed in earnings in the reporting period in which the adjustments are determined.
Acquisition-related expenses primarily consist of legal, accounting, and other advisory fees and are recorded in the period in which they are incurred.
Asset Acquisitions
Acquisitions that do not meet the definition of a business are accounted for as asset acquisitions. The Company allocates the cost of the acquisition to the individual assets acquired and liabilities assumed on a relative fair value basis and goodwill is not recognized in an asset acquisition. Direct transaction costs are capitalized as a component of the cost of the acquisition.
Intangible Assets
Intangible assets include patents, capitalized software development costs, and customer relationships. Intangible assets with finite lives are amortized on a straight-line basis over their respective estimated useful lives and are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. Intangible assets determined to have indefinite useful lives are not amortized but are tested for impairment annually and more frequently if events occur or circumstances change that indicate an asset may be impaired.
As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, intangible assets included$8,700,000 and$7,091,000 in customer relationships, respectively, and$3,113,000 and$3,054,000 in capitalized software development costs, respectively, net of accumulated amortization.
Debt Discount and Debt Issuance Costs
Costs related to the issuance of debt due to the lender (debt discount) or to third parties (debt issuance costs) are capitalized and amortized to interest expense over the term of the related debt on a straight-line basis, which is not materially different from the effective interest method. Debt discount and debt issuance costs are presented on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of our term loan.
Employee Stock Purchase Plan
In May 2022, the stockholders of the Company approved the Company’s Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “ESPP”), which provides for the issuance of up to 500,000 shares of common stock. Eligible employees may elect to have a percentage of eligible compensation withheld to purchase shares of our common stock at the end of each purchase period. The Company expects each purchase period to be the six-month periods ending on June 30 or December 31 of each calendar year. Beginning in 2025, the purchase price per share is expected to equal 85% of the fair market value of our common stockon the first trading day or the last trading day of each purchase period, whichever amount is lower. As a result, the fair value ofshares of common stock to be issued under the ESPP will be measured on the first day of each offering period using a Black-Scholes option pricing model.
Under the ESPP, a participant may not be granted rights to purchase more than $25,000 worth of common stock for each calendar year and no participant may purchase more than 1,500 shares of our common stock (or such other number as the Compensation Committee may designate) on any one purchase date. As of June 30, 2025,27,530 shares had been issued under the ESPP and 472,470 shares remained available under the plan.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company periodically issues options, restricted stock units (“RSUs”), and shares of its common stock as compensation for services received from its employees, directors, and consultants. The fair value of the award is measured on the grant date. The fair value amount is then recognized as expense over the requisite vesting period during which services are required to be provided in exchange for the award. We recognize forfeitures as they occur. Stock-based compensation expense is recorded in the same expense classifications in the consolidated statements of operations as if such amounts were paid in cash.
The fair value of option awards is measured on the grant date using a Black-Scholes option pricing model, which includes assumptions that are subjective and are generally derived from external data (such as risk-free rate of interest) and historical data (such as volatility factor and expected term).
We estimate the fair value of restricted stock unit awards with time- or performance-based vesting using the value of our common stock on the grant date. We estimate the fair value of market-based restricted stock unit awards as of the grant date using the Monte Carlo simulation model.
We expense the compensation cost associated with time-based options and RSUs as the restriction period lapses, which is typically aone- tothree-year service period with the Company. Compensation expense related to performance-based RSUs is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, provided that it is probable that performance conditions will be achieved, with probability assessed on a quarterly basis and any changes in expectations recognized as an adjustment to earnings in the period of the change. Compensation cost is not recognized for service- and performance-based awards that do not vest because service or performance conditions are not satisfied, and any previously recognized compensation cost is reversed. Compensation costs related to awards with market conditions are recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period regardless of whether the market condition is satisfied and is not reversed provided that the requisite service period derived from the Monte-Carlo simulation has been completed. If vesting occurs prior to the end of the requisite service period, expense is accelerated and fully recognized through the vesting date.
The following table summarizes the stock-based compensation expense recorded for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024:

Earnings (Loss) Per Share (“EPS”)
Basic EPS is calculated by dividing net income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of the Company’s common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS is calculated based on the net income (loss) available to common stockholders and the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period, adjusted for the effects of all potential dilutive common stock issuances related to options and restricted stock units. The dilutive effect of our stock-based awards is computed using the treasury stock method, which assumes all stock-based awards are exercised and the hypothetical proceeds from exercise are used to purchase common stock at the average market price during the period. The incremental shares (i.e., the difference between shares assumed to be issued versus purchased), to the extent they would have been dilutive, are included in the denominator of the diluted EPS calculation. However, when a net loss exists, no potential common stock equivalents are included in the computation of the diluted per-share amount because the computation would result in an anti-dilutive per-share amount.
Potentially dilutive securities outstanding as of June 30, 2025 and 2024, which were excluded from the computation of basic and diluted net loss per share for the periods then ended, are as follows:
| · · · · · | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| | | June 30, | |
| (in thousands) | 2025 | 2024 | |
| Options | 12 | 80 | |
| Restricted stock units | 1,117 | 1,470 | |
| Total | 1,129 | 1,550 | |
Stock Repurchases
In January 2025, the Board of Directors adopted a share repurchase program authorizing the repurchase of up to$12.5 million of our common stock through January 24, 2027. The program may be amended, suspended, or discontinued at any time and does not commit the Company to repurchase any shares of its common stock. In the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, we used$1.76 million of the program to repurchase shares. As of June 30, 2025, we had$10.74 million remaining for the repurchase of shares.
Shares repurchased by the Company are immediately retired. The Company made an accounting policy election to charge the excess of repurchase price over par value entirely to retained earnings.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Fair value is an estimate of the exit price, representing the amount that would be received upon the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants (i.e., the exit price at the measurement date). Fair value measurements are based upon observable and unobservable inputs. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect our view of market participant assumptions in the absence of observable market information. Assets and liabilities required to be measured at fair value are categorized based upon the level of judgment associated with the inputs used to measure their value in one of the following three categories:
Level 1: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2: Inputs other than quoted market prices that are observable, either directly or indirectly, and reasonably available. Observable inputs reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability and are developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company.
Level 3: Unobservable inputs reflect the assumptions that the Company develops based on available information about what market participants would use in valuing the asset or liability.
The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate fair value based on the short-term maturity of these instruments.
The table below provides information on our Level 3 liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis:

The fair value of the contingent consideration was determined by management based on estimated recurring revenue from acquired customer relationships. We expect to settle the liability in the fourth quarter of 2026. |
| (2) | Represents the change in fair value of contingent consideration recorded in connection with the acquisition of ADA Site Compliance, LLC (“ADA Site Compliance”) in the third quarter of 2024. The fair value of the contingent consideration was determined by management with the assistance of an independent third-party valuation specialist using the Monte-Carlo simulation. We expect to settle the liability in the second quarter of 2026. Refer to Note 3 – Acquisitions for additional information on the ADA Site Compliance acquisition. |
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In July 2025, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2025-05,Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets, which provides a practical expedient to measure credit losses on accounts receivable and contract assets. This ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2025, and interim periods within those annual reporting periods. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the timing of the adoption and the impact of this ASU on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09,* Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures,* which requires public entities, on an annual basis, to provide disclosure of specific categories in the rate reconciliation, as well as disclosure of income taxes paid disaggregated by jurisdiction. The ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. We plan to adopt ASU 2023-09 in our fiscal year 2025 annual financial statements. The adoption of this ASU will not affect the Company’s consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows.
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07,Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosuresto enhance disclosures about significant segment expenses for public entities reporting segment information under ASC Topic 280. The amendments require public entities to disclose significant expense categories for each reportable segment, other segment items, the title and position of the chief operating decision-maker, and interim disclosures of certain segment-related information previously required only on an annual basis. The amendments clarify that entities reporting single segments must disclose both the new and existing segment disclosures under Topic 280, and a public entity is permitted to disclose multiple measures of segment profit or loss if certain criteria are met. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. The adoption of ASU 2023-07 did not have a significant impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements. See Note 7,Segment Information, for the required disclosures.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03,Income Statement — Reporting Comprehensive Income — Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40) to improve the disclosures about a public entity’s expenses and provide more detailed information about the types of expenses included in certain expense captions in the consolidated financial statements. The amendments in this update are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted and the amendments in this update should be applied either prospectively to financial statements issued for reporting periods after the effective date of this update or retrospectively to any or all prior periods presented in the financial statements. The Company is evaluating the impactof the new standardon the disclosures in our consolidated financial statements.
NOTE 3 — ACQUISITIONS
ADA Site Compliance, LLC
On September 27, 2024, we entered into a Membership Interest Purchase Agreement and acquired all the outstanding equity interests of ADA Site Compliance, LLC (“ADA Site Compliance”), which provides audits and best practices to help organizations create websites that are accessible and compliant to Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (“WCAG”) standards. The acquisition provides an opportunity to expand on ADA Site Compliance’s existing customer relationships by migrating customers to AudioEye’s products and further expanding revenue. The aggregate consideration for the purchase of ADA Site Compliance was approximately $7.0 million (at fair value), consisting of a $3.4 million cash payment at closing, $2.35 million in unsecured promissory notes payable to the sellers within 60 days following the closing (collectively, the “Note Payable”), and an estimated $1.25 million in aggregate contingent consideration to be paid in cash in the second quarter of 2026 if and to the extent certain earn-outs are satisfied. Actual contingent consideration is based on satisfaction of the earn-out conditions related tocertain annual recurring revenue (“ARR”) and non-recurring revenue (“NRR”) targets measured as of December 31, 2025 and may differ from estimated contingent consideration recognized at acquisition, therefore a range of undiscounted payment outcomes cannot be estimated.
We accounted for the acquisition of ADA Site Compliance as a business combination in accordance with FASB ASC 805, “Business Combinations” (“ASC 805”). Accordingly, under the acquisition method of accounting, the preliminary purchase price was allocated to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values as of the acquisition date as follows:
| | | | |
|---|---|---|---|
| (in thousands) | Balance at September 27, 2024 | ||
| Assets purchased: · | |||
| Cash | | $284 | |
| Accounts receivable | | 371 | |
| Other assets | | 15 | |
| Customer relationships (1) | | 5,100 | |
| Goodwill (2) | | 2,660 | |
| Total assets purchased | | 8,430 | |
| | | | |
| Liabilities assumed: | | ||
| Accounts payable and accrued liabilities | | 362 | |
| Deferred revenue | | 1,063 | |
| Total liabilities assumed | | 1,425 | |
| | | | |
| Net assets acquired | | 7,005 | |
| | | | |
| Consideration: | | ||
| Cash paid | | 3,407 | |
| Note payable (3) | | | 2,348 |
| Contingent consideration liability (4) | | 1,250 | |
| Total consideration | | $7,005 | |
| (1) | Represents an acquired intangible asset that will be amortized on a straight-line basis over its estimated useful life of 8 years. |
| (2) | Goodwill represents the excess of purchase price over the estimated fair value of net tangible and intangible assets acquired. The amount of goodwill expected to be deductible for tax purposes is $2,660,000. Goodwill primarily relates to the expected synergies from combining operations of the Company and ADA Site Compliance and the value of the acquired workforce. |
| (3) | Represents the fair value of the Note Payable in the aggregate principal amount of $2,400,000. |
| (4) | The fair value of the ADA Site Compliance contingent consideration liability was determined using the Monte-Carlo simulation. The key assumptions used in the Monte-Carlo simulation were as follows: ARR and NRR metrics for the earn-out period, NRR discount rate of 7.5%, ARR discount rate of 6.5%, expected NRR volatility of 12.5%, expected ARR volatility of 7.5%, risk-free rate of 3.9%, buyer specific counterparty credit risk of 14.25%, and discount period of 1.62 years. |
The preliminary purchase price allocations to assets acquired and liabilities assumed are subject to adjustments as information is obtained about facts and circumstances that existed at the acquisition date including, but not limited to, certain customary post-closing adjustments such as the finalization of working capital. The final fair value determination of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed will be completed prior to one year from the acquisition date, consistent with ASC 805.
Due to the rapid integration of ADA Site Compliance into the Company’s operations, including the migration of some of ADA Site Compliance’s customers to AudioEye’s products, it is impractical to determine the revenue and earnings attributable to ADA Site Compliance for the six months ended June 30, 2025.
Asset Acquisition
In the second quarter of 2025, we completed an acquisition that does not meet the definition of a business based on our assessment of the screening test as required by ASU 2017-01, as substantially all the fair value of the gross assets acquired is concentrated in one single identifiable intangible asset, customer relationships. In connection with this asset acquisition, werecognized $1.8 million in customer relationships, which will be amortized on a straight line basis over their estimated useful life of 8 years.
NOTE 4 — LEASE LIABILITIES AND RIGHT OF USE ASSETS
We determine whether an arrangement is a lease at inception. Right-of-use assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term, and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease.
Finance Leases
The Company had finance leases to purchase computer equipment that expired in the second quarter of 2024. The amortization expense of the leased equipment was included in depreciation expense. As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company’s outstanding finance lease obligations totaled zero.
Operating Leases
Operating lease right-of-use assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the expected lease term. Since our lease arrangements do not provide an implicit rate, we use our estimated incremental borrowing rate for the expected remaining lease term at commencement date in determining the present value of future lease payments. Operating lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
The Company has operating leases for office space in Tucson, Arizona, and New York, New York. The lease for the principal office located in Tucson consists of 627 square feet and ends in October 2025. The lease for the New York office, which consists of approximately 5,000 square feet, commenced in January 2022 and will expire in December 2026.
In March 2025, the Company entered into an agreement to sublease its office space in New York through the end of the original lease term in December 2026. The sublease did not relieve the Company of its original obligation under the lease, therefore the Company did not adjust the related lease liability. In the six months ended June 30, 2025, Company recognized a $50,000 loss on impairment associated with this right-of-use asset as the total remaining lease cost exceeds the expected sublease income. In the six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company recorded $46,000 in income related to the sublease.
In the second quarter of 2024, the Company entered into an agreement to sublease office space in Miami Beach, Florida, on a month-to-month basis. In addition, the Company entered into membership agreements to occupy shared office space in other locations. Because these agreements do not qualify as a lease under ASC 842, we expense the related rent and membership fees as they are incurred.
The Company made operating lease payments in the amount of $118,000 and $227,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
The following summarizes the total lease liabilities and remaining future minimum lease payments at June 30, 2025 (in thousands):

NOTE 5 — DEBT
Term Loan and Revolving Credit Facility with Western Alliance Bank
On March 31, 2025, the Company entered into a Loan and Security Agreement (the “Credit Facility Agreement”) with Western Alliance Bank, an Arizona corporation (the “Lender”). The Credit Facility Agreement provides for borrowings of up to $20.0 million, including (i) a term loan facility, comprising of a $12.0 million term loan advance funded on March 31, 2025, and subsequent term loan advances at the Company’s request within the Draw Period (March 31, 2025 through March 31, 2026) subject to the terms and conditions of the Credit Facility Agreement, in a minimum amount of $1.0 million and an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $5.0 million (the “Term Advances”); and (ii) a revolving line of credit in an aggregate outstanding amount not to exceed $3.0 million (the “Revolving Facility”). The Term Advances and the Revolving Facility have a maturity date of March 31, 2030. In the three months ended June 30, 2025, we drew $1.4 million from the $5.0 million available as subsequent term loan advances.
The outstanding Term Advances and the Revolving Facility bear interest on the outstanding daily balance at a floating rate equal to 3.25% above the term SOFR rate, which is defined as the greater of (i)2.30% and (ii) the 1-month Term SOFR Reference Rate.
For each Term Advance, Company is obligated to pay interest-only payments with respect to such Term Advance through April 9, 2026. Beginning on April 10, 2026, Company shall repay each outstanding Term Advance in (i) quarterly principal payments in the amount of 1.25% of the aggregate principal amount of Term Advances outstanding as of April 10, 2026, payable on the tenth (10th) day of each calendar quarter, plus (ii) monthly payments of accrued interest, payable on the tenth (10th) day of each month. The final payment for each Term Advance, due on March 31, 2030, shall include all outstanding principal and accrued and unpaid interest under such Term Advance. Once repaid, the Term Advances may not be reborrowed. The interest on the Revolving Facility is payable monthly with the principal outstanding amount due at maturity.
The Company incurred $50,000 in facility fees on the closing date, which were recorded as debt discount. The Company also incurred third-party expenses in connection with the term loan, which were recorded as debt issuance costs. In the six months ended June 30, 2025, debt issuance costs totaled$443,000, including $87,000 that remained unpaid as of June 30, 2025. Debt discount and debt issuance costs are presented as a direct deduction from the carrying amountof our term loan and are amortized to interest expense over the term of the loan on a straight-line basis, which is not materially different from the effective interest method.
The Credit Facility Agreement is secured by substantially all of our assets and contains certain customary financial covenants, including the requirements that the Company maintain at all times from the closing date through and including the calendar quarter ended June 30, 2026, (a) unrestricted and unencumbered cash held in accounts with the Lender equal to at least $3.0 million measured as of the last day of each calendar month, and (b) a ratio of certain total committed debt to its Annual Recurring Revenue between 0.70 to 0.55, depending on the testing date, measured as of the last day of each calendar quarter. During the period of time commencing on September 30, 2026, and continuing through and including March 31, 2030, the Company shall maintain (a) a ratio of its aggregate funded indebtedness to its adjusted EBITDA for the prior twelve months of no greater than (i)2.50 to 1.00 for the calendar quarters commencing September 30, 2026 through and including June 30, 2027, and (ii)2.00 to 1.00 at all times thereafter, in each case measured as of the last day of each calendar quarter, and (b) a Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio of at least 1.50 to 1.00.
As of June 30, 2025, the outstanding principal balance of our term loan totaled $13,401,000 and there wereno outstanding borrowings under the revolving line of credit. As of June 30, 2025, term loan advances and revolving line of credit available for future draws totaled $3.6 million and $3.0 million, respectively.
As of June 30, 2025, future principal payments of debt based on the principal balance then outstanding are as follows (in thousands):
