REVENUE RECOGNITION
The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with accounting standard ASC 606 when the performance obligations under the terms of the Company’s contracts with its customers have been satisfied. The majority of the Company’s revenue is earned from contracts with its top customers. The following percentages present the Company’s revenue concentration by customer. Aggregate revenue from the two top customers comprised approximately 44.0% , 61.8% and 70.5% of total revenue for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
The Company’s B2B (business‑to‑business) revenue primarily arises from the manufacture and delivery of metal payment cards under customer‑specific purchase orders or statements of work. ASC 606 requires entities to record a contract asset when a performance obligation has been satisfied or partially satisfied, but the amount of consideration has not yet been received because the receipt of the consideration is conditioned on something other than the passage of time. ASC 606 also requires an entity to present a revenue contract as a contract liability in instances when a customer pays consideration, or an entity has a right to an amount of consideration that is unconditional (e.g. receivable), before the entity transfers a good or service to the customer. The Company did not have any contract assets or liabilities as of December 31, 2025 and 2024. As a result, there were no significant changes in contract asset or contract liability balances during the periods presented.
The Company invoices its customers at the time at which control is transferred, with payment terms ranging between 15 and 60 days depending on each individual contract. As the payment is due within 90 days of the invoice, a significant financing component is not included within the contracts.
The majority of the Company’s contracts with its customers have the same performance obligation of manufacturing and transferring the specified number of cards to the customer. Each individual card included within an order constitutes a
separate performance obligation, which is satisfied upon the transfer of goods to the customer. The contract term as defined by ASC 606 is the length of time it takes to deliver the goods or services promised under the purchase order or statement of work. As such, the Company's contracts are generally short term in nature.
Revenue is measured in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for those products or services. Revenue is recognized net of variable consideration such as discounts, rebates, and returns which is measured based on the expected value or most likely amount of variable consideration, as applicable.
The Company’s products do not include an unmitigated right of return unless the product is non-conforming or defective. If the goods are non-conforming or defective, the defective goods are replaced or reworked or, in certain instances, a credit is issued for the portion of the order that was non-conforming or defective. A provision for sales returns and allowances is recorded based on experience with goods being returned. Most returned goods are re-worked and subsequently re-shipped to the customer and recognized as revenue. Historically, returns have not been material to the Company.
Additionally, the Company has a rebate program with certain customers allowing for a rebate based on achieving a certain level of shipped sales. This rebate is estimated and updated throughout the year and recorded against revenues and the related accounts receivable.
On occasion, the Company receives requests from customers to hold purchased products. The Company evaluates these requests as bill and hold arrangements. The Company recognizes revenue from such bill and hold arrangements in accordance with the guidance provided in ASC 606, which indicates that for a customer to have obtained control of a product in a bill and hold arrangement, all of the following criteria must be met: (a) the reason for the bill and hold is substantive, (b) the product has separately been identified as belonging to the customer, (c) the product is currently ready for physical transfer to the customer, and (d) the Company does not have the ability to use the product or direct it to another customer. During the years ended December 31, 2025 , 2024 and 2023, the Company recognized $0 , $8,085 and $0 of revenue under bill and hold arrangements, respectively.
In addition to B2B card‑manufacturing revenue, the Company generates revenue from the sale of Arculus key cards directly to consumers (B2C) through third‑party e‑commerce platforms. Each B2C transaction contains a single performance obligation, which is satisfied at the point in time when control of the product transfers upon shipment. Customers pay in full at checkout, and the related platforms remit cash to the Company shortly thereafter; therefore, no contract assets or contract liabilities are generated. The transaction price equals the stated checkout price, net of any discounts applied at the point of sale. Platform commissions and payment‑processing fees are recorded as operating expenses. The Company is the principal in these arrangements and records revenue on a gross basis. Returns have historically been immaterial.
