Goodwill – Our methodology for allocating the purchase price relating to acquisitions is determined through established valuation techniques. Goodwill represents a residual value as of the acquisition date, which in most cases results in measuring goodwill as an excess of the purchase consideration transferred plus the fair value of any noncontrolling interest in the acquired company over the fair value of net assets acquired, including contingent consideration. We perform goodwill impairment tests on an annual basis in the fourth fiscal quarter, and, in certain circumstances between annual tests. The assessment of fair value for goodwill and purchased intangible assets is based on factors that market participants would use in an orderly transaction in accordance with the new accounting guidance for the fair value measurement of non-financial assets.

Operating Leases – The Company determines if a contract is or contains a leasing element at contract inception or the date in which a modification of an existing contract occurs. In order for a contract to be considered a lease, the contract must transfer the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. Control is determined to have occurred if the lessee has the right to (i) obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from the use of the identified asset throughout the period of use and (ii) direct the use of the identified asset.
Previous report

The increase in total revenues of $11,110,390 for the year ended December 31, 2024 compared to the same period in the prior year consisted primarily of a $1,927,849 increase in plasma revenue, a $8,601,375 increase in pharma revenue, and a $581,166 increase in other revenue. The increase in plasma revenue was primarily due to the addition of 16 net new plasma centers since December 31, 2023 and rise in the number of donations at existing plasma centers, and, consequently, dollars loaded to cards, cardholder fees, and interchange, as there continues to be stable demand for plasma used in plasma protein therapies. The increase in pharma revenue was primarily due a full year financial benefit of programs launched in 2023, the launch of 33 net new pharma patient affordability programs since December 31, 2023 and the subsequent growth in monthly management and setup fees, claim processing fees, and other billable services such as call center support. The number of claims processed increased over 270% in 2024 compared to 2023. The increase in other revenue was primarily due to the growth and usage in the number of cardholders of our payroll, retail, and corporate incentive programs.

The increase in plasma revenue was primarily due to 115 net plasma centers added during the past 12 months offset by a decline in plasma donations and dollars loaded to cards as plasma inventory levels were elevated throughout much of 2025, which has reduced our average monthly revenue per center as compared to the same period in the prior year. The increase in pharma revenue was primarily due to the financial benefit of 55 net pharma patient affordability programs launched during the past 12 months, and a corresponding increase in monthly management fees, setup fees, claim processing fees and other billable services such as dynamic business rules and call center support. For the year ended December 31, 2025 the number of claims processed increased 79% compared to the same period in the prior year.

Gross profit also benefited from our plasma revenue and the beneficial impact of a variable cost structure, as many of the plasma transaction costs are variable in nature and are provided by third-parties who charge us based on the number of active cards outstanding and transactions that occurred during the period. The increase in gross profit was offset by increased costs from third-party service providers, sales commission expense, customer service costs and fraud expenses mentioned above, primarily driven by the overall growth in our business.

Operating activities provided $22,947,120 of cash in 2024, a decrease of $4,673,504 compared to 2023. This change in cash flow compared to the prior period is primarily due to net decreases in operating assets and liabilities and net income. The changes in accounts receivable, accounts payable, and customer card funding are primarily related to the growth in our pharma patient affordability business and timing of payments as we are invoiced by third-party service providers at the end of the period and are due monies from our pharma patient affordability customers to cover these third-party payables. Changes in net income in 2024 when compared to 2023 are also driven by a net decrease in our deferred tax asset valuation. The decrease in cash flows from operating activities and net income was offset by non-cash adjustments for deferred income taxes, depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation, and lease expense.

Unrestricted cash was $10,766,982 as of December 31, 2024, a decrease of $6,227,723 compared to the same period in the prior year. The decrease resulted primarily from payment timing on pass-through claim reimbursement receivables and related payables associated with our patient affordability business, in the amount of $7,018,053 offset by the improvement in our operating results. We believe that our available cash on hand, excluding restricted cash, at December 31, 2024 of $10,766,982, along with our forecast for revenues and cash flows for 2025 and through 2027, will be sufficient to sustain our operations for the next 24 months. In light of the elevated interest rates and increased refinancing risks related to commercial real estate holdings on bank balance sheets, we continue to monitor the health and soundness of our bank relationships through publicly available information. In particular, we are closely following FDIC publicly announced developments, but those developments have not caused us to alter our bank relationships in any material respect at this time.

Previous wording
Plasma and pharma card program revenues include both fixed and variable components. Cardholder fees represent an obligation to the cardholder based on a per transaction basis and are recognized at a point in time when the performance obligation is fulfilled. Card program management fees and transaction claims processing fees include an obligation to our card program sponsors and are generally recognized when earned on a monthly basis and are typically due within 30 days pursuant to the contract terms which are generally multi-year contracts. The Company uses the output method to recognize card program management fee revenue at the amount of consideration to which an entity has a right to invoice. The performance obligation is satisfied when the services are transferred to the customer which the Company determined to be monthly, as the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefit from the Company’s performance. Interchange fees are earned when customer-issued cards are processed through card payment networks as the nature of our promise to the customer is that we stand ready to process transactions at the customer’s requests on a daily basis over the contract term. Since the timing and quantity of transactions to be processed by us are not determinable, we view interchange fees to comprise an obligation to stand ready to process as many transactions as the customer requests. Accordingly, the promise to stand ready is accounted for as a single series performance obligation. The Company uses the right to invoice practical expedient and recognizes interchange fee revenue concurrent with the processing of card transactions. Interchange fees are settled in accordance with the card payment network terms and conditions, which is typically within a few days.

The portion of the dollar value of prepaid-stored value cards that consumers do not ultimately redeem are referred to as breakage. In certain card programs where we hold the cardholder funds and expect to be entitled to a breakage amount, we recognize revenue using estimated breakage rates ratably over the estimated card life; provided that a significant reversal of the amount of breakage revenue recognized is not probable, and record adjustments to such estimates when redemption is remote or we are legally defeased of the obligation, if applicable. For each program, we utilize a third party to estimate breakage rates based on historical redemption patterns, market-specific trends, escheatment rules and existing economic conditions. The Company accounts for breakage in accordance with Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-04,Liabilities—Extinguishment of Liabilities (Subtopic 405-20): Recognition of Breakage for Certain Prepaid Stored-Value Cardsfor the recognition of such revenue.
