 SCHEDULE OF ACCRUED EXPENSES

Bank Debt —The Company has a revolving line of credit with Silicon Valley Bank (“SVB”). The Company’s credit facility is a secured revolving line of credit where borrowings are based on a formula of 200% of repeatable revenue adjusted by an annualized attrition rate as defined in the credit agreement. During February 2023, the line of credit was increased to $25 million and the term was extended for two additional years maturing on October 12, 2025. The financial covenants were also slightly modified for 2023 and subsequent years. Effective August 31, 2023, the credit facility agreement was amended whereby the interest rate was temporarily increased from the prime rate plus 1.5% to the prime rate plus 2.0% and the requirement for the minimum liquidity ratio was slightly reduced. The amendments expired March 31, 2024 and the credit facility reverted to its previous terms. During October 2024, the credit line was reduced to $10 million, which is the current unused borrowing base. (See Note 15).

As of September 30, 2024, there were no borrowings under the credit facility, compared to $10 million in borrowings as of December 31, 2023. Interest on the revolving line of credit was charged at the prime rate plus 2.0% for the first quarter of 2024, but decreased to the prime rate plus 1.5% on April 1, 2024. There is also a fee of one-half of 1% annually for the unused portion of the credit line. The debt is secured by all of the Company’s domestic assets and 65% of the shares in its offshore subsidiaries. Future acquisitions are subject to approval by SVB. Interest expense on the line of credit was approximately $106,000 and $624,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively. Interest expense on the line of credit was approximately $280,000 and $618,000, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively.

In connection with the original SVB debt agreement, the Company paid SVB approximately $50,000 of fees upfront and issued warrants for SVB to purchase 125,000 shares of its common stock, and committed to pay an annual anniversary fee of $50,000 a year. Based on the terms in the original SVB credit agreement, these warrants had a strike price equal to $3.92. They had a five-year exercise window and net exercise rights, and were valued at $3.12 per warrant. These warrants were exercised during 2022. As a result of the revision in the credit line in the third quarter of 2018, the Company paid approximately $50,000 of fees upfront and issued an additional 28,489 warrants, with a strike price equal to $5.26, a five-year exercise window and net exercise rights. The additional warrants were valued at $3.58 per warrant and expired in September 2023. The credit agreement contains various covenants and conditions governing the revolving line of credit including an annual fee of $110,000. These covenants include a minimum level of adjusted EBITDA and a minimum liquidity ratio. At September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company was in compliance with all covenants. Due to the October 2024 modification, the anniversary fee was reduced to $44,000.

During March 2023, SVB became a division of First Citizens Bank & Trust Company. The agreements that governed the former SVB relationship remain in place. As a result, there was no change to the terms of the credit agreement.
