Independent Auditors' Report
To Management
AMI TopCo, Inc.:
Opinion
We have audited the consolidated financial statements of AMI TopCo, Inc. and its subsidiaries (Successor) and AMI US Holdings, Inc. and its subsidiaries (Predecessor) (collectively, the Company), which comprise the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2025 and 2024 (Successor), and the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive loss, changes in equity, and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2025 and the period from October 18, 2024 to December 31, 2024 (Successor periods), and the period from January 1, 2024 to October 17, 2024 (Predecessor period), and the related notes to the consolidated financial statements.
In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the Successor and Predecessor periods in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAS). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors' Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements section of our report. We are required to be independent of the Company and to meet our other ethical responsibilities, in accordance with the relevant ethical requirements relating to our audits. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
Emphasis of Matter
As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, effective October 17, 2024, AMI Buyer, Inc., an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of AMI TopCo, Inc., acquired AMI US Holdings, Inc. and its subsidiaries in a business combination. As a result of the acquisition, the consolidated financial information for the periods after the acquisition is presented on a different cost basis than that for the period before the acquisition and, therefore, is not comparable. Our opinion is not modified with respect to this matter.
Responsibilities of Management for the Consolidated Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, and for the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is required to evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern for one year after the date that the consolidated financial statements are available to be issued.

Auditors' Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditors' report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with GAAS will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Misstatements are considered material if there is a substantial likelihood that, individually or in the aggregate, they would influence the judgment made by a reasonable user based on the consolidated financial statements.
In performing an audit in accordance with GAAS, we:
| • |
Exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. |
| • |
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, and design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks. Such procedures include examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. |
| • |
Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed. |
| • |
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluate the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. |
| • |
Conclude whether, in our judgment, there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time. |
We are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit, significant audit findings, and certain internal control related matters that we identified during the audit.

AMI TopCo, Inc. and Subsidiaries (Successor) and AMI US Holdings, Inc. and Subsidiaries (Predecessor)
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
For the year ended December 31, 2025 (Successor period), and the period from October 18, 2024 to December 31, 2024 (Successor period), and from January 1, 2024 to October 17, 2024 (Predecessor period)
1 Organization and nature of operations
AMI TopCo, Inc., along with its subsidiaries, is headquartered in Georgia, United States and is engaged in the design, development, sale, and support of dynamic firmware solutions for the global computer marketplace. The Company sells its products, principally to Original Design Manufacturers ("ODMs"), Original Equipment Manufacturers ("OEMs"), and Cloud Service Providers ("CSPs") to the data center, cloud, embedded, and client markets, spanning key global markets including North America, Asia, and Europe.
AMI TopCo, Inc. ("Company"), a Delaware corporation, was incorporated on August 23, 2024 to acquire, through its subsidiary AMI Buyer, Inc., from AMI CaymanCo Ltd ("Seller"), the outstanding common stock of AMI US Holdings, Inc., which further holds a controlling stake in seven entities along with their branches in Japan, Korea, and Taiwan ("AMI").
On August 30, 2024, AMI Buyer, Inc. (the "Acquirer") entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement with the Seller for transfer of 100% of the outstanding common stock of AMI US Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Acquiree" and the "Predecessor"). On the Closing Date, October 17, 2024, AMI Buyer, Inc. completed the acquisition for a final purchase price of $604.7 million, which resulted in change of control over the Acquiree and all of its subsidiaries. Upon consummation of the Closing of the Acquisition, the Company through its ownership in AMI Buyer, Inc. became the Holding Company of (a) AMI US Holdings, Inc.; (b) AMI New US LLC; (c) AMI HK HoldCo Limited; (d) American Megatrends International GmbH; (e) American Megatrends International, LLC; (f) American Megatrends Information Technology (Kunshan) Co., Ltd.; (g) AMI India US LLC; (h) American Megatrends International India Pvt. Ltd. and their branches. The Company along with all these acquired entities and their branches is referred to as "Successor" and/or "Group" and each separate entity is individually referred to as "Group Entity".
The Acquisition established a new accounting basis for AMI. The fair value of AMI's assets and liabilities were recorded as of the Acquisition Date in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 805, Business Combinations. Those amounts differed materially from the recorded values of AMI's assets and liabilities reflected in its historical consolidated financial statements of AMI Cayman HoldCo Ltd., the previous holding company under AMI CaymanCo Ltd. As a result of the application of the acquisition method of accounting, the Company's consolidated balance sheets and consolidated statements of operations subsequent to October 17, 2024, will not be comparable in many respects to AMI's consolidated balance sheets and consolidated statements of operations prior to the Acquisition.
Accordingly, the consolidated financial statements for the financial year ended December 31, 2025 represent the results of operations and the financial position of the Company whereas the comparative figures for the preceding financial year ended December 31, 2024 are shown as comprising of Predecessor period (January 1, 2024 to October 17, 2024) representing the results of operations of AMI US Holdings, Inc. and subsidiaries prior to the Acquisition and the Successor period (October 18, 2024 to December 31, 2024) representing the results of operations and the financial position of the Company subsequent to the completion of the acquisition, and have been separated by a black line within these consolidated financial statements.
The acquisition was treated as a business combination under ASC 805, Business Combinations, and the identifiable assets acquired, and liabilities assumed were measured at the acquisition date fair value under ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement. See note 3 for further details regarding the acquisition.
As used throughout the consolidated financial statements, predecessor refers to AMI US Holdings, Inc. and subsidiaries, successor refers to AMI TopCo, Inc. and subsidiaries as detailed in note 2(a) below and "we," "our," or "the Company" refers to both predecessor and successor entities.

(b) Use of estimates
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions, which affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Estimates are based on historical experience, where applicable, and other assumptions which management believes are reasonable under the circumstances. On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates its estimates, including those related to the measurement of lease liabilities and right of use assets applied in lease accounting, revenue recognition on fixed price service contracts, fair values of other financial instruments, measurement of defined benefit obligations, valuation of intangible assets and goodwill, useful lives of property and equipment, useful lives of intangible assets, inventory, allowance for expected credit losses, valuation allowance of deferred tax assets, income tax uncertainties and other contingencies and commitments. These estimates are inherently subject to judgment and actual results could differ from those estimates.
Although these estimates and assumptions are based upon management's best knowledge of current events and actions, actual results could differ from these estimates.
Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimates are revised and in any future periods affected.
(c) Functional currency and translation
The Company's consolidated financial statements are reported in USD. The functional currency of each entity in the Company is its respective local currency except, for AMI HK HoldCo Limited where the local currency is not representative of the functional currency and therefore USD is the functional currency. The translation of the functional currencies of the respective subsidiaries into USD is performed for balance sheet accounts using the exchange rates in effect as of the balance sheet date and for revenues and expense accounts using a monthly average exchange rate prevailing during the respective periods.
Page 11
AMI TopCo, Inc. and Subsidiaries (Successor) and AMI US Holdings, Inc. and Subsidiaries (Predecessor)
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
For the year ended December 31, 2025 (Successor period), and the period from October 18, 2024 to December 31, 2024 (Successor period), and from January 1, 2024 to October 17, 2024 (Predecessor period)
The gains or losses resulting from such translation are reported as currency translation adjustments under other comprehensive loss, net, under accumulated other comprehensive deficit as a separate component of equity.
Transactions of each subsidiary in currencies other than the subsidiary's functional currency are translated into the respective functional currencies at the average monthly exchange rate prevailing during the period of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities of each subsidiary denominated in currencies other than the subsidiary's functional currency are translated into their respective functional currency at the rates of exchange prevailing at the balance sheet date. The gains or losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are included in the consolidated statements of operations.
(d) Allowance for credit losses
The Company records an allowance for credit losses (ACL) under Subtopic 326-20 Financial Instruments - Credit Losses-measured at amortized cost for the current expected credit losses (CECL) inherent in its financial assets measured at amortized cost and contract assets. The ACL is a valuation account deducted from the amortized cost basis to present the net amount expected to be collected. The estimate of expected credit losses includes expected recoveries of amounts previously written off as well as amounts expected to be written off.
The estimate of expected credit losses is based on the Company's historical loss experience, adjusted for current and reasonable and supportable forecasts of economic conditions and other pertinent factors affecting the Company's customers such as known credit risk or industry trends. The allowance is estimated over the contractual term of the financial asset adjusted for expected prepayments. The Company does not have any off-balance-sheet credit exposures.
Subsequent changes (favorable and unfavorable) in expected credit losses each period are recognized immediately in net income/loss as a credit loss expense or a reversal of credit loss expense.
Trade accounts receivable
The Company uses an aging schedule to estimate the ACL for trade accounts receivable. This method categorizes trade receivables into different groups based on industry and the number of days past due. Past due status is measured based on the number of days since the payment due date. The trade receivables are evaluated individually for expected credit losses if they no longer share similar risk characteristics.
The Company maintains an allowance for credit losses for estimated losses incurred in its accounts receivable. In establishing the required allowance, management considers historical losses adjusted to take into account current market conditions and the Company's customers' financial condition, payment patterns and current receivables aging. Account balances are charged off against the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote. The Company does not have any off-balance sheet credit exposure related to its customers.
Contract assets
The Company determines the ACL for contract assets using estimates of probability of customer default and loss given default percentages applied to estimated exposure at default.
When measuring expected credit losses, the Company considers customers' historical payment patterns, customers' credit ratings as published by credit rating agencies, and current and reasonable and supportable forecasts of economic conditions in estimating customers' probability of default, exposure at default and estimated loss given default. The Company collectively evaluates contract assets with similar industry risk and credit risk characteristics. In addition, the Company evaluates the collectability of contract assets on an individual basis when they no longer have similar risk characteristics to determine if any are deemed uncollectible. Contract assets are written off against the allowance for credit losses when deemed uncollectible.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
For the year ended December 31, 2025 (Successor period), and the period from October 18, 2024 to December 31, 2024 (Successor period), and from January 1, 2024 to October 17, 2024 (Predecessor period)
(e) Trade accounts receivable
Trade accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount, net of an ACL, and do not bear interest. Amounts collected on trade accounts receivable are included in the net cash provided by operating activities in the consolidated statements of cash flows. The payment terms are governed by the contract signed with the clients and are in the range of 30 days to 90 days. The Company also evaluates the creditworthiness of clients as necessary, as described above.
(f) Revenue recognition
The Company earns revenue primarily from the licensing of BIOS or UEFI firmware products and Baseboard Management Controller (BMC) solutions and providing support services to ODMs, OEMs, and CSPs. In addition, Company generates revenue from the sale of hardware products and other professional software engineering services.
Pursuant to ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, the Company recognizes revenue at the time of transfer of control of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. Under this standard, revenue is based on a contract with a determinable transaction price and distinct performance obligations with probable collectability. Revenues cannot be recognized until the performance obligation(s) are satisfied and control is transferred to the customer. This process involves identifying the customer contract, determining the performance obligations in the contract, determining the transaction price, allocating the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract and recognizing revenue when the performance obligations have been satisfied. Revenue is recognized net of any taxes collected, which are subsequently remitted to governmental authorities.
i. License revenue
The Company generates revenue from the license of BIOS/UEFI, BMC, or other firmware product source codes embedded in a silicon vendor's chipset to OEMs, ODMs and CSPs under non-cancelable agreements provided for a finite term. These arrangements are entered into during various stages of the development phase of the chipsets that the firmware is embedded in and provide the customer with access to the Company's firmware source code for their own product development purposes. The contracts include maintenance and support services to develop and customize the source code for the customers' needs. These arrangements include the obligation to stand ready to provide frequent updates and enhancements based on changes required by the silicon vendor, the operating system provider, or the customer. The fees for license, maintenance and support services are fixed and invoiced in advance annually or per the terms of the agreement.
Certain license arrangements include sales or usage-based royalties in exchange for the right to distribute products that include the chipsets that are embedded with the Company's firmware source code. These royalties are based on a price per unit sold and are typically variable consideration in nature. In certain arrangements, a minimum volume of royalties are guaranteed over the course of the contract, which represents fixed consideration. Royalty fees are typically billed quarterly based on reporting from the customer regarding sales and usage quantities.
Determining whether products and services are considered distinct performance obligations that should be accounted for separately versus together requires significant judgment. The Company has concluded that (1) the licenses to access and distribute our source code in these contracts are not distinct from our obligation to provide unspecified updates to the source code throughout the license term, because those promises represent inputs to a single, combined performance obligation, and (2) the rights to unspecified updates and enhancements are accounted for as part of the single performance obligation that includes the licenses, updates, and technical support, because such rights are provided for the same period of time and have the same time-based pattern of transfer to the customer. In reaching this conclusion, the Company has considered the nature of the obligation to customers, which is to provide an ongoing right to use the most up-to-date version of the firmware that protects the product from security, compatibility and operability issues due to changes in the hardware and operating systems over time. The Company is required to provide on-going services to maintain the proper security, compatibility and operability of the licensed source code within those chipsets so that the products continue to function to the customer's standards.
Due to the significance and criticality of the software updates and enhancements provided during the maintenance term, the license, update and support services are not distinct in the context of the contract and are considered a single performance obligation whose fixed consideration is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the contract, consistent with the pattern of transfer.

AMI TopCo, Inc. and Subsidiaries (Successor) and AMI US Holdings, Inc. and Subsidiaries (Predecessor)
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
For the year ended December 31, 2025 (Successor period), and the period from October 18, 2024 to December 31, 2024 (Successor period), and from January 1, 2024 to October 17, 2024 (Predecessor period)
To the extent the royalties are variable in nature, given that they relate to the license of intellectual property and the license of intellectual property is the predominant item to which the royalty relates, we recognize sales- or usage-based royalties at the later of when the sale or usage occurs or the performance obligation is satisfied or partially satisfied.
ii. Professional services revenue
Time and material contracts
Revenue generated from time-and-material based contracts is recognized as the related services are performed. The Company's right to consideration corresponds directly with the value to the customer of the entity's performance completed to date. As such, the Company recognizes revenue in the amount to which the entity has a right to invoice for those services performed, in accordance with the practical expedient in ASC 606-10-55-18.
Fixed price contracts
Revenue generated from fixed price contracts where performance obligations and control are satisfied over a period of time like technology integration, system implementations and application development is recognized based on progress toward completion of the performance obligation using a percentage - of - completion (POC) method; efforts or costs expended have been used to measure progress toward completion as there is a direct relationship between input and productivity. Any revision in the estimate of costs/hours to complete would result in an increase or decrease in revenue and such changes are recorded in the period in which they are identified. Contract losses are determined to be the amount by which the estimated direct and incremental cost to complete exceeds the estimated future revenues that will be generated by the contract. These losses are included in research and development and support expenses and recorded in accrued expenses and other current liabilities.
iii. Hardware revenue
The Company sells backplane controllers, MegaRAC development kits, and AST boards with BMC chips to OEM and ODM customers. The Company recognizes revenue when control of the promised goods transfers to a customer, based on the shipping terms defined in purchase orders, in an amount that reflects the consideration which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring those products. Such contracts do not include a significant financing component.
Shipping and handling costs associated with outbound freight, after control over a product has transferred to a customer, are accounted for as a fulfillment cost and are included in other operating expenses as incurred.
The Company adjusts the amounts of revenue for expected sales allowances, returns and claims based upon historical experience, however, these amounts are immaterial.
iv. Contracts with Multiple Performance Obligations
When a sales arrangement contains multiple performance obligations, such as services, hardware and license of software or combinations of each of them, revenue for each element is based on a five step approach as defined above. To the extent a contract includes multiple promised deliverables, judgment is applied to determine whether promised deliverables are capable of being distinct and are distinct in the context of the contract. If these criteria are not met, the promised deliverables are accounted for as a combined performance obligation. For arrangements with multiple distinct performance obligations or series of distinct performance obligations, consideration is allocated among the performance obligations based on their relative standalone selling price. Standalone selling price is the price at which Company would sell a promised good or service separately to the customer.
The Company determines the standalone selling prices based on its overall pricing objectives, taking into consideration market conditions and other factors, including the value of its contracts, the software services sold, customer size and complexity, and the number and types of users under the contracts.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
For the year ended December 31, 2025 (Successor period), and the period from October 18, 2024 to December 31, 2024 (Successor period), and from January 1, 2024 to October 17, 2024 (Predecessor period)
Costs to obtain customer contracts
The Company has adopted the practical expedient to expense costs to obtain a contract if the amortization period for the assets that the Company otherwise would have recognized is one year or less. These costs incurred are immaterial to the consolidated financial statements.
Contract assets and liabilities
Contract assets primarily represent revenue earnings over time for which the Company does not presently have an unconditional right to payment (generally not yet billable) based on the terms of the contracts. Contract assets are reported net of expected credit losses.
Contract liabilities consist of amounts invoiced or paid by the Company's customers for which the associated performance obligations have not been satisfied and revenue has not been recognized based on the Company's revenue recognition criteria.
Contract assets and contract liabilities are reported in a net position on an individual contract basis at the end of each reporting period. Contract assets are classified as current in the consolidated balance sheet when the Company expects to complete the related performance obligations and invoice the customers within one year of the balance sheet date, and as long-term when the Company expects to complete the related performance obligations and invoice the customers more than one year out from the balance sheet date. Contract liabilities are classified as current in the consolidated balance sheet when the revenue recognition associated with the related customer payments and invoicing is expected to occur within one year of the balance sheet date and as long-term when the revenue recognition associated with the related customer payments and invoicing is expected to occur in more than one year from the balance sheet date.
(g) Inventories
Inventories primarily represent items of finished goods / hardware that are procured to fulfill customer contracts. Inventory is stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost is determined by using the first-in, first-out method (FIFO) for all inventories. Inventory valuation reserves for obsolete and slow-moving inventory are estimated based on a detailed analysis of inventory aging, historical usage trends, and expected future demand.
(h) Property and equipment
Property and equipment represent the costs of furniture and fixtures, office equipment, computer equipment and networking equipment, and leasehold improvements. Cost also includes any costs necessarily incurred to bring the asset to the condition and location necessary for its intended use.
Property and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the assets' estimated useful lives as follows:
| Asset description | Asset life (in years) | |
| Computer and networking equipment | 3 to 5 | |
| Furniture, fixtures, and office equipment | 5 | |
| Leasehold improvements | Lower of lease term or the estimated useful life of the improvement (ranging from 2 to 12 years) | |
Leasehold improvements related to office facilities are depreciated over the shorter of the lease term or the estimated useful life of the improvement.
Subsequent expenditure related to property and equipment which is deemed to extend the useful economic life of an asset are capitalized. Maintenance and repairs that do not improve efficiency or extend the estimated economic life of an asset are expensed as incurred. The gain or loss on disposal/write off of an item of property and equipment (calculated as the difference between the carrying amount of the item and net proceeds from disposal) is recognized in the consolidated statements of operations under the caption 'other (income), net'.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
For the year ended December 31, 2025 (Successor period), and the period from October 18, 2024 to December 31, 2024 (Successor period), and from January 1, 2024 to October 17, 2024 (Predecessor period)
(i) Leases
A lease is a contract that contains right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. The Company is a lessee in operating leases for office space and accommodation for certain of its employees. The Company accounts for leases in accordance with Topic 842, Leases.
Right-of-use assets (ROU assets) represent the Company's right to control the underlying assets under lease, and the lease liability is the obligation to make the lease payments related to the underlying assets under lease. ROU assets are recognized on the lease commencement date and measured initially based on the lease liability adjusted for any initial direct costs, prepaid rent, and lease incentives. ROU assets are depreciated over the lease term or useful life of the right-of-use asset, whichever is less.
Subsequently, ROU assets are measured at cost less any accumulated depreciation, accumulated impairment losses, if any, and adjusted for any remeasurement of the lease liability.
The lease liabilities are initially measured at the present value of the unpaid lease payments discounted using the Company's local incremental borrowing rate. The lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liabilities are comprised of fixed payments less any lease incentives, variable lease payments that depends on an index or a rate, the exercise price of a purchase option if the Company is reasonably certain to exercise the option, and any payment of penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the Company exercising an option to terminate the lease. The lease liability is subsequently measured by increasing the carrying amount to reflect interest on the lease liability, reducing the carrying amount to reflect the lease payments made and remeasuring the carrying amount to reflect any reassessment or modification, if any.
The Company monitors events or changes in circumstances that require a reassessment of one of its leases. When a reassessment results in the remeasurement of a lease liability, a corresponding adjustment is made to the carrying amount of the corresponding ROU asset unless doing so would reduce the carrying amount of the ROU asset to an amount less than zero. In that case, the ROU asset is reduced to zero and the remainder of the adjustment is recorded in profit or loss.
Variable lease payments associated with the Company's leases are recognized when the event, activity, or circumstance in the lease agreement on which those payments are assessed occurs. Variable lease payments are presented as operating expense in the Company's consolidated statements of operations in the same line item as expense arising from fixed lease payments (operating leases).
The Company has elected to not recognize leases with a lease term of 12 months or less in the consolidated balance sheets and lease costs for those short-term leases are recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term in the consolidated statements of operations.
For all asset classes, the Company has elected the lessee practical expedient to combine lease and non-lease components and account for the combined unit as a single lease component in case there is no separate payment defined under the contract.
Operating lease right-of-use assets are presented as operating lease right of use assets on the consolidated balance sheets. The current portion of operating lease liabilities is included in current portion of operating lease liabilities, and the long-term portion is presented separately as operating lease liabilities, net of current portion on the consolidated balance sheets.
(j) Business Combination
The Company accounts for its business combinations under the acquisition method of accounting. The Company records the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, including any contingent consideration, based on their estimated fair values at the date of acquisition. The excess of the purchase price for acquisitions over the fair value of the net assets acquired, including other intangible assets, is recorded as goodwill.
Page 16
AMI TopCo, Inc. and Subsidiaries (Successor) and AMI US Holdings, Inc. and Subsidiaries (Predecessor)
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
For the year ended December 31, 2025 (Successor period), and the period from October 18, 2024 to December 31, 2024 (Successor period), and from January 1, 2024 to October 17, 2024 (Predecessor period)
While the Company uses its best estimates and assumptions to accurately value assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date as well as contingent consideration, where applicable, the estimates are inherently uncertain and subject to refinement. As a result, during the measurement period, which may be up to one year from the acquisition date, the Company records adjustments to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed with the corresponding offset to goodwill.
Upon the conclusion of the measurement period, any subsequent adjustments are recorded to the Company's consolidated statements of operations.
Identifiable intangible assets acquired in a business combination are recognized separately from goodwill when they meet the contractual-legal or separability criteria and are measured at acquisition-date fair value.
Transaction costs are acquisition-related expenses that the acquirer incurs to affect a business combination. These costs include finder's fees; advisory, legal, accounting, valuation, and other professional or consulting fees; general administrative expenses; and the costs of registering and issuing debt and equity securities. The Company accounts for acquisition-related costs as expenses in the periods in which the costs are incurred and the services are received, except for equity and debt issuance costs.
During 2024, transaction costs incurred by the Acquirer that were contingent upon the consummation of the Acquisition have been recorded in the Successor Period. Acquisition-related expenses incurred by the acquiree prior to acquisition are recorded in the Predecessor Period consolidated statement of operations.
The costs of issuing debt or equity securities are recognized in accordance with other applicable standards. Debt issuance costs are reported in the consolidated balance sheet as a direct deduction from the face amount of that debt.
(k) Goodwill
Goodwill is an asset representing the future economic benefits arising from other assets acquired in a business combination that are not individually identified and separately recognized. Our goodwill is contained within two reporting units, which are our product lines: Boot Firmware ("BFG") and Manageability and Security ("MSG"). Goodwill is not amortized but is instead tested for impairment annually during the fourth quarter and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value of goodwill may not be recoverable. When evaluating whether goodwill is impaired, we make a qualitative assessment to determine if it is more likely than not that a reporting unit's fair value is less than the carrying amount. If the qualitative assessment determines that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than the carrying amount, the fair value of a reporting unit is compared with its carrying value (including goodwill). If the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value, then goodwill impairment exists for that reporting unit. The impairment loss, if any, is recognized for the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value. If the fair value of a reporting unit exceeds its carrying value, no further impairment analysis is needed. Based on our annual qualitative impairment test, we concluded that it is not more likely than not that the fair value of each reporting unit is less than its carrying amount.
(l) Intangible assets
The identifiable intangible assets acquired consist primarily of trademarks, developed technology, and customer relationships. The trademarks and developed technology have been fair valued, based on the 'relief from royalty' method. The relief-from-royalty method is a variation of an income approach that measures the fair value of an asset using a cost-savings concept. This is based on the notion that, if the entity did not own the asset, it would pay a royalty to a third party for the right to use that asset. Therefore, the value of the asset is the fair value of the cost savings of not paying a royalty to a third party.
Customer relationships were valued using the multi-period excess earnings method, which estimates fair value based on the present value of the after-tax cash flows attributable to existing customer relationships after deducting contributory asset charges associated with supporting assets.
The Company also capitalizes certain technology-related development costs incurred in connection with developing technology when the initial design phase is completed and commercial and technological feasibility has been established. Any development cost incurred before technological feasibility is established is expensed as incurred as research and development and support expenses. Technological feasibility is established upon completion of a detailed design program or, in its absence, completion of a working model. Capitalized technology costs include only (i) external direct costs of materials and services utilized in developing or obtaining software and technology and (ii) compensation and related benefits for employees who are directly associated with the project. These capitalized technology-related development costs are included in intangible assets.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
For the year ended December 31, 2025 (Successor period), and the period from October 18, 2024 to December 31, 2024 (Successor period), and from January 1, 2024 to October 17, 2024 (Predecessor period)
Intangible assets with definite lives are amortized over the estimated useful lives and are reviewed for impairment, if indicators of impairment arise. The evaluation of impairment is based upon a comparison of the carrying amount of the intangible asset with the estimated future undiscounted net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If estimated future undiscounted cash flows are less than the carrying amount of the asset, the asset is considered impaired. The impairment expense is determined by comparing the estimated fair value of the intangible asset to its carrying value, with any shortfall from fair value recognized as an expense in the current period. The intangible assets with definite lives are amortized over the estimated useful lives of the assets as under:

(m) Impairment of long-lived assets
The Company evaluates its held-and-used long-lived assets for indicators of possible impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of an asset or asset group (collectively, the "asset group") may not be recoverable. The Company measures the recoverability of the asset group by comparing the carrying amount of such asset group to the future undiscounted cash flows it expects the asset group to generate. If the Company considers the asset group to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized equals the amount by which the carrying value of the asset group exceeds its fair value. Fair value is determined through various valuation techniques including discounted cash flow models, quoted market values and third-party independent appraisals, as considered necessary. There has been no impairment during the year ended December 31, 2025, the Successor Period ended December 31, 2024, or the Predecessor Period ended October 17, 2024.
(n) Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents primarily represent cash and money market instruments in bank accounts. The Company considers all highly liquid investments and short-term deposits with an original maturity of three months or less, when purchased, to be cash equivalents.
Restricted cash
Restricted cash consists of funds that are contractually restricted as to usage or withdrawal due to a contractual agreement with a lender for the repayment of borrowings.
The position of cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash as of Balance Sheet Date, is as follows:

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
For the year ended December 31, 2025 (Successor period), and the period from October 18, 2024 to December 31, 2024 (Successor period), and from January 1, 2024 to October 17, 2024 (Predecessor period)
(o) Income taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statements carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their tax bases and for all operating loss and tax credit carryforwards, if any. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax laws or rates is recognized in the consolidated statements of operations in the period that includes the enactment date. If it is determined that it is more likely than not that future tax benefits associated with a deferred income tax asset will not be realized, a valuation allowance is recorded.
The Company regularly reviews the deferred tax assets for recoverability based on historical taxable income, projected future taxable income, the expected timing of the reversals of existing temporary differences and tax planning strategies. The Company's judgment regarding future profitability may change due to many factors, including future market conditions and the ability to successfully execute the business plans and/or tax planning strategies. Should there be a change in the ability to recover deferred tax assets, the Company's income tax expense would increase or decrease in the period in which the assessment is changed.
The Company recognizes the effect of income tax positions only if those positions are more likely than not of being sustained. Recognized income tax positions are measured as the largest amount that is greater than 50 percent likely of being realized upon settlement.
The Company follows the specific identification approach for releasing stranded tax effects from accumulated other comprehensive income ("AOCI") upon recognition of these AOCI items in the consolidated statements of operations.
(p) Employee benefits
Contributions to defined contribution plans are charged to consolidated statements of operations in the period in which services are rendered by the covered employees. Current service costs for defined benefit plans are accrued in the period to which they relate. The liability in respect of defined benefit plans is calculated annually by the Company using the projected unit credit method. Prior service cost, if any, resulting from an amendment to a plan is recognized and amortized over the remaining period of service of the covered employees.
The Company records annual amounts relating to its defined benefit plans based on calculations that incorporate various actuarial and other assumptions, including discount rates, mortality, compensation increases and turnover rates. The Company reviews its assumptions on an annual basis and makes modifications to the assumptions based on current rates and trends when it is appropriate to do so. The effect of modifications to those assumptions is recorded in other comprehensive income (loss) and amortized to net periodic cost over future periods using the corridor method. The Company believes that the assumptions utilized in recording its obligations under its plans are reasonable based on its experience and market conditions.
(q) Share-based payment transactions
The Company recognizes and measures compensation expense for all share-based awards based on the grant date fair value. The Company determines fair value attributable to respective classes of shares using an option pricing model. The model allocates fair value to the respective classes of shares using a waterfall model stipulated under the equity arrangement of shareholders. During the year ended December 31, 2025 and the 2024 Successor period, the grant date fair value for option awards was determined using the Monte Carlo Option Pricing Model, whereas for the Predecessor period, the grant date fair value for option awards was determined using the Black-Scholes model.
The fair value determined at the grant date is expensed over the vesting period of the share-based awards. Share-based compensation recognized in the consolidated statements of operations is based on awards that are ultimately expected to vest. If the vesting is based on a contingent event which is considered not probable, related costs are recognized only when such event is consummated.
Page 19
AMI TopCo, Inc. and Subsidiaries (Successor) and AMI US Holdings, Inc. and Subsidiaries (Predecessor)
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
For the year ended December 31, 2025 (Successor period), and the period from October 18, 2024 to December 31, 2024 (Successor period), and from January 1, 2024 to October 17, 2024 (Predecessor period)
The Company accounts for forfeitures when they occur. Consequently, compensation cost previously recognized for an employee share option is reversed in the period in which forfeiture of the award occurs. Previously recognized compensation cost is not reversed if an employee share option for which the requisite service has been rendered expires unexercised.
With respect to modifications, the incremental impact of an increase in fair value is charged to the consolidated statements of operations on the date of modification if the vesting period is complete, and over the remaining vesting period where the vesting period is not complete.
(r) Commitments and contingencies
The Company records a liability for loss contingencies arising from claims, assessments, litigation, fines, penalties and other sources when it believes that it is both probable that a loss has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated. If it determines that a loss is reasonably possible and the loss or range of loss can be reasonably estimated, the same is disclosed as possible loss in the accompanying notes to the consolidated financial statements.
The Company reviews the developments in contingencies that could affect the amount of the provisions that have been previously recorded, and the matters and related reasonably possible losses disclosed. Adjustments are made to provisions and changes to corresponding disclosures accordingly to reflect the impact of negotiations, settlements, rulings, advice of legal counsel, and updated information. Significant judgment is required to determine both the probability and the estimated amount of loss. These estimates are based on an assessment of the facts and circumstances at each balance sheet date and are subject to change based on new information and future events.
(s) Financial instruments and significant customers
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentration on credit risk are reflected principally in cash and cash equivalents, contract assets and accounts receivable. The Company evaluates the concentration of risk with respect to its receivable accounts and contracts to be low, as the Company does not foresee any significant credit risk attached to receivables from customers owing to their past payment history and stable financial conditions. Revenues from one customer represented approximately $22.9 million, $4.4 million and $16.7 million, representing approximately 11%, 12% and 12% of the total revenue for the year ended December 31, 2025 (Successor period), the period from October 18, 2024 to December 31, 2024 (Successor period) and the period from January 1, 2024 to October 17, 2024 (Predecessor period), respectively and are reported within revenue.
(t) Fair value measurements
The Company holds financial instruments that are measured at fair value or fair value is used for disclosure purposes. Fair value is determined in accordance with a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs and assumptions used, and the valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described as follows:
Level 1 inputs: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities accessible to the reporting entity at the measurement date.
Level 2 inputs: Other than quoted prices included in Level 1 inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.
Level 3 inputs: Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability used to measure fair value to the extent that observable inputs are not available, thereby allowing for situations in which there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability at measurement date.
The Company's assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment and may affect the valuation of assets and liabilities and placement within the fair value hierarchy levels. The Company determines the fair value of its assets and liabilities using the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date and in the principal or most advantageous market for that asset or liability.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
For the year ended December 31, 2025 (Successor period), and the period from October 18, 2024 to December 31, 2024 (Successor period), and from January 1, 2024 to October 17, 2024 (Predecessor period)
The fair value of the Developed Technology and Trademarks was determined as $89,000,000 and $12,400,000 respectively using the relief-from-royalty method and classified in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. The fair value of the assets was estimated based on the present value of the royalty payments that the acquirer saves by owning the asset, based on a market participant royalty rate. This approach includes management estimating revenues expected to be generated over the expected useful life of the assets, which requires significant judgment and has significant uncertainty associated with it. In addition, the Company determines the appropriate discount rate to apply to the cash flows and calculates a tax amortization benefit. Under this approach, a royalty rate of 1% and 15% was used for Trademarks and Developed Technology, respectively and the cash flows were discounted using a rate of 11%. The fair value of customer relationships was determined to be $316,400,000 using the multi-period excess earnings method and was classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. The valuation was based on the present value of after-tax cash flows attributable to existing customers, after deducting contributory asset charges, and incorporated an annual customer-retention factor of 95.0% and a discount rate of 11.0%. These assumptions require significant management judgment and have significant uncertainty associated with it. (see note 3 for further discussion)

Acquisitions |
On October 17, 2024, AMI TopCo, Inc., through its subsidiary AMI Buyer, Inc., acquired 100% of the outstanding common shares of AMI US Holdings, Inc. The aggregate non-contingent portion of the purchase price was $604,738,201 and was paid in cash. The goodwill arising from the acquisition amounts to $211,887,395.
Under the purchase method of accounting, the total purchase price is allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values. Included in the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition are inputs (tangible and intangible assets), business processes and an organized workforce. The Company has determined that the acquired inputs and processes significantly contribute to the ability to create revenue. The Company has concluded that the acquired set is a business.
AMI US Holdings, Inc. is primarily engaged in the design, development, sale, and support of dynamic firmware solutions for the global computer marketplace. The acquisition widens the potential of the acquirer to expand its business through access to AMI US Holdings' customer base, workforce, technology and brand.

Note 1: The identifiable intangible assets acquired consist primarily of trademarks, developed technology, and customer relationships. The trademarks and developed technology have been fair valued, based on the 'relief from royalty' method. The relief-from-royalty method is a variation of an income approach that measures the fair value of an asset using a cost-savings concept. This is based on the notion that, if the entity did not own the asset, it would pay a royalty to a third party for the right to use that asset. Therefore, the value of the asset is the fair value of the cost savings of not paying a royalty to a third party. Customer relationships were valued using the multi-period excess earnings method, which estimates fair value based on the present value of the after-tax cash flows attributable to existing customer relationships after deducting contributory asset charges associated with supporting assets.
Refer note no. 2(t) "Fair value measurements" for further details on the fair valuation of intangibles.
Note 2: The acquired intangible assets, all of which are being amortized, have a weighted average useful life of approximately 10-15 years. The intangible assets that make up that amount include Developed technology of $89,000,000 (10 years), Customer relationships of $316,400,000 (10 years) and Trademarks of $12,400,000 (15 years).
| C. |
Transaction costs |
During the Successor period, the Company incurred transaction costs of $9,024,309 on legal fees, consultation and due diligence costs, including $6,246,667 in fees due to an affiliate of Thomas H. Lee Partners, the owner of AMI TopCo, Inc. These costs have been recorded under Transaction costs in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.
| D. |
Tax |
As of October 17, 2024, $75,011,387 of the intangible assets and $67,704,049 of the goodwill are expected to be deductible for tax purposes.
| E. |
Others |
During the Predecessor period, transaction bonuses to the employees amounting to $14,099,722, and share-based compensation expense pertaining to employees in non-US entities amounting to $3,845,063 were recorded in the consolidated statement of operations in connection with the acquisition.

Borrowings |
On October 17, 2024, the Company entered into a comprehensive credit agreement ('Credit Agreement') to avail a term loan amounting to $275,000,000 and revolver line of credit amounting to $40,000,000 from "Bain Capital Credit, LP". Borrowings under the Credit Agreement bear interest at London Interbank Offered Rate or Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) or Alternate Base Rate (ABR) plus an applicable margin (5.07% as of December 31, 2025). The Credit Agreement is secured by substantially all assets.
The debt issuance cost for the term loan facility of $275,000,000 was $8,405,864 (including $3,150,000 in fees due to an affiliate of Thomas H. Lee Partners, the owner of AMI TopCo, Inc.) which will be amortized using the effective interest method over a period of seven (7) years.
The Company had an existing credit facility from Midcap Financial Trust from the Predecessor Period with a revised maturity date of April 1, 2027 (extended from the original maturity date of April 1, 2025 via an agreement dated April 5, 2024). Borrowings under the said credit agreement included a revolver line of credit amounting to $25,000,000 and a term loan amounting to $190,000,000 was bearing interest at Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) or Alternate Base Rate (ABR) plus an applicable margin. The said credit agreement was secured by substantially all assets. The entire outstanding amount of $167,975,000 against the said credit agreement was paid on October 17, 2024 and the said facility stands fully settled upon acquisition by AMI Buyer Inc. Accordingly, deferred financing cost amounting to $1,538,986 in respect of credit facility from Midcap Financial Trust was fully amortized on October 17, 2024.
Short-term borrowings
There is no outstanding balance of the revolver line of credit as of December 31, 2025. The unutilized amount of the revolver facilities is $40,000,000 as of December 31, 2025.
The debt issuance cost for the revolver line of credit of $40,000,000 was $1,222,671 which will be amortized over a period of seven (7) years using the straight-line method.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
For the year ended December 31, 2025 (Successor period), and the period from October 18, 2024 to December 31, 2024 (Successor period), and from January 1, 2024 to October 17, 2024 (Predecessor period)

Share-Based Compensation |
AMI TopCo, Inc., a Delaware corporation, established a stock incentive plan known as "2024 Equity Incentive Plan" intended to promote the long-term growth and profitability of the Company and its subsidiaries by providing those persons who are involved in the Company's and its subsidiaries' growth with an opportunity to acquire an ownership interest in the Company, thereby encouraging such persons to contribute to and participate in the success of the Company and its subsidiaries.
Under the Plan, the Company may make awards to present and future officers, directors, employees, consultants and other service providers of the Company or its subsidiaries as may be selected in the sole discretion of the Board of AMI TopCo, Inc.
The Board authorized and approved the "2024 Equity Incentive Plan" on December 2, 2024. The Plan authorizes grants to purchase up to 37,473 shares of Common stock with an exercise price of $1,000 per share.
The plan comprises of the following:
a) Service-based options
b) Performance-based options
a) Service-based options
Service-based options will be subject to time-vesting and will vest over a five (5) year period as follows:
i. twenty percent (20%) of the Service-based options shall vest on the first anniversary of the date of grant and
ii. an additional twenty percent (20%) will vest on each subsequent anniversary of the date of grant such that all service-based options shall be vested as of the fifth (5th) anniversary of the date of grant. To receive each year's vesting, the employee must remain continuously employed by the Company (or its subsidiaries) from the grant date through each vesting date.
b) Performance-based options
Performance-based options will be subject to the time and performance-based vesting criteria both of which must be satisfied for such options to vest and become exercisable.
a) Time-Based Vesting. The time-based vesting criteria for the performance-based options will be subject to the same service vesting requirements as the service-based options
b) Performance-Based Vesting. The vesting of performance-based options is contingent upon the achievement of specific financial performance targets by the investor, as measured on the applicable measurement date. These targets are:
i. Investor IRR (Internal Rate of Return) must be at least 15%, and
ii. Investor MoM (Multiple on Money) must exceed 2.0.
If both conditions are met, the performance-based options will vest on a straight-line basis between 0% and 100%, depending on the level of MoM achieved.
- If MoM is less than 2.0: No performance-based options will vest.
- If MoM is exactly 3.0 or higher: 100% of the performance-based options will vest.
- If MoM is between 2.0 and 3.0: A proportional percentage of the performance-based options will vest, increasing linearly from 0% to 100%.
In addition to meeting these performance thresholds, the employee must have been continuously employed or providing services to the Company or its subsidiaries from the grant date through the applicable vesting date.
During the year 2025, the Company granted options to purchase 17,614 shares with an exercise price of $1,000 and a fair value of $482.32 for the service-based options and $418.39 for the performance-based options.
The Company uses company-specific historical data to estimate the expected term of the options, such as grantee option exercise and grantee post-vesting departure behavior. Separate groups of grantees that have similar historical exercise behaviour are considered separately for valuation purposes. Since the Company's shares are not publicly traded and its shares are rarely traded privately, expected volatility is estimated based on the average historical volatility of similar entities with publicly traded shares. The risk-free rate for the expected term of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve at the date of grant.

Share-Based Compensation - Predecessor Period
Class C Units of the parent entity
The parent entity (AMI Cayman LP) is authorized to issue up to 25,000,000 Class C units in the form of equity incentive units to the employees of the Company. Such equity incentive units will vest over a service period of up to five years. Awards to non-U.S. employees also include a performance condition related to a change in control of the Company.
The fair value attributed to Class C Units is determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Expected volatility is based on the average historical volatility of similarly structured business services companies. The expected term of the units granted represents the period of time the units are expected to be outstanding. Parent entity uses the simplified method under accounting standards to estimate the expected term of the units. The risk-free rate is based on U.S. Treasury yields in effect at the time of the grant for the expected term. Parent entity accounts for forfeitures in the period they occur resulting in a reversal of all previously recognized compensation expense for awards forfeited. Assumptions for the grants made under this plan, are as follows:

On account of change of control during the 2024, all the grants issued by the Group were accelerated on the date of change of control (i.e. October 17, 2024), as part of the original terms of the plan. The grants issued by the US entity are accounted as equity-settled share-based payments and the share-based payment costs were accelerated based on the grant date fair value of such options. With respect to the grants issued by the non-US entities, the settlement for such grants were made by the respective issuing entities in cash, as part of the original terms of the plan and accordingly, are treated as liability settled as at the date of change of control and the difference between the settlement price and cost accrued until the date of change of control were accounted for as stock compensation expenses in the income statement. Based on the election made by the Group, these costs are entirely accounted for as expense in the Predecessor period.
Share-based compensation cost included in the consolidated statement of operations under selling, general and administrative expenses amounted to $4,360,966 out of which $515,903 was recorded in Additional paid-in capital and $3,845,063 was recorded as a liability under accrued expenses and other current liabilities for the settlement of awards issued by the non-US entities.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740) Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which require greater disaggregation of income tax disclosures around the effective rate reconciliation. The guidance in this update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, and the Company adopted it prospectively for the year ended December 31, 2025. Income tax expense (benefit) for the year ended December 31, 2025 differs from the amount of income tax determined by applying the applicable U.S. statutory federal income tax rate to pretax loss as a result of the following differences:

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
For the year ended December 31, 2025 (Successor period), and the period from October 18, 2024 to December 31, 2024 (Successor period), and from January 1, 2024 to October 17, 2024 (Predecessor period)
Based on the available evidence, management believes that it is more likely than not that the U.S. and state deferred tax assets will be realizable with the exception of unamortizable transaction costs and Georgia R&D credits for which the Company cannot forecast income of the appropriate source in order to be utilized. Accordingly, the Company has provided a valuation allowance against these items as of December 31, 2025 and 2024.
The valuation allowance for deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2025 and 2024 was $6.2 million and $6.2 million, respectively. The Company's valuation allowance balance increased by an immaterial amount for the year ended December 31, 2025 as a result of additional generated credit carryforwards.
The increase in the valuation allowance during calendar year 2025 was primarily due to additional immaterial increases in state R&D carryforwards that are not expected to be realized. At the end of December 31, 2025, the valuation allowance was primarily related to unamortizable transaction costs, and disallowed state R&D credit carryforwards. The Company will continue to evaluate the need for valuation allowances for its deferred tax assets.
In determining the need to establish or maintain a valuation allowance, management considered the four sources of jurisdictional taxable income: (i) future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences; (ii) future taxable income exclusive of reversing temporary differences and carryforwards; (iii) taxable income in prior carryback year(s) if carryback is permitted under the tax law; and (iv) viable and prudent tax planning strategies. Based on the available evidence and management's expectations of generating sufficient U.S. Federal and State taxable income, management believes that it is more likely than not that the U.S. and state deferred tax assets will be realizable with the exception of unamortizable transaction costs and Georgia R&D credits for which the Company cannot forecast income of the appropriate source in order to be able to utilized. Accordingly, the Company has provided a valuation allowance against these items as of December 31, 2025 and 2024.
As of December 31, 2025, the Company had state NOL carryforwards of $24.6 million, and U.S. federal and state research and development tax credit carryforwards were $4.1 million and $4.0 million, respectively. The Company also had foreign tax credit carryforwards of $11.8 million. If not utilized, certain state NOLs will begin to expire at various dates beginning in 2033, while the federal and state tax credit carryforwards will start to expire in various amounts beginning in 2028.
Utilization of net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards may be subject to a substantial annual limitation due to ownership change limitations provided by the Internal Revenue Code and similar state provisions. Annual limitations may result in expiration of net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards before some or all of such amounts have been utilized.
The Company has not provided U.S. income taxes and foreign withholding taxes on undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries because we intend to permanently reinvest such earnings outside the United States, with the exception of accumulated earnings in Germany. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company has recorded a deferred tax liability of $57K and $71K, respectively for potential withholding tax which would be recognized upon remittance of a dividend from Germany to the United States.
On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act ("OBBBA") was enacted into law in the U.S. The OBBBA provides for the permanent extension of certain expiring provisions of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act and restores certain favorable corporate tax provisions, such as the current deduction for U.S.-based research expenditures. The impact of the OBBBA was not material to our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures and is not material.
The Company recognizes financial statement benefit of a tax position only after determining that the relevant tax authority would more-likely-than-not sustain the position following an audit. For tax positions meeting the more-likely-than-not threshold, the amount recognized in the consolidated financial statements is the largest benefit that has a greater than 50 percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the relevant tax authority. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company had gross unrecognized tax benefits of $2.2 million and $0 million, respectively. If recognized, these unrecognized tax benefits would reduce income tax expense and the Company's effective tax rate.
The following table summarizes the changes to unrecognized tax benefits for the fiscal years presented:

The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to income tax matters as a component of income tax expense. There was no accrued interest recorded as of December 31, 2025 and 2024.
The Company files income tax returns subject to varying statutes of limitations. The tax years from 2019 and forward remain open to examination by the federal and state tax authorities due to net operating loss and overall credit carryforward positions. Non-U.S. tax returns generally remain open to examination. As of December 31, 2025, the Company is currently under examination in Hong Kong. The Company believes that it has provided adequate reserves for its income tax uncertainties in all open tax years. As the outcome of the Company's tax audits are resolved in a manner inconsistent with management's expectations, the Company could adjust its provision for income taxes in the future.

Revenue of $17,093,454 recognized during the year ended December 31, 2025 was included as part of the opening balance of contract liability.
As of December 31, 2025, the aggregate transaction price allocated to unsatisfied or partially unsatisfied performance obligations was $40,360,480. The Company expects to recognize approximately $21,346,943 within one year, $15,322,305 in one to two years, and $3,691,232 thereafter. The amount principally relates to fixed consideration under firmware license, update, maintenance and support arrangements and fixed-price professional service contracts.
The Company has elected the optional exemptions for contracts with an original expected duration of one year or less, performance obligations for which revenue is recognized in the amount the Company has a right to invoice, and sales- or usage-based royalties promised in exchange for licenses of intellectual property.
Increase in the Company's contract liabilities balance during the period is a result of normal business activity and not materially impacted by any other factors.
