In 2024, the Company was named as a participant in one new collaborative project with combined funding of €907,000 ($989,000 using the exchange rate of the grant date) which is expected to be released to the Consolidated Statement of Operations over the life of the project, estimated to be approximately three years.

Research project financingIn October 2014, Bpifrance, one of the Company’s shareholders and the financial agency of the French government, provided funding to the Company in the context of a long-term research project, estimated to be completed over a 3-year period. In December 2016, Bpifrance and the Company signed an amendment to extend the period from to years. The total funding amounted to €6,967,000 ($8,988,000 using the exchange rate of the funding dates) with a portion in the form of a grant (€2,957,000 or $3,815,000) and a portion in the form of a forgivable loan (€4,010,000 or $5,173,000). The funding was paid in three installments, the last of which was received in 2019 for €992,000 ($1,126,000 using the exchange rate of the payment date). The grant was recognized as a reduction of research and development expense when corresponding expense was incurred.

The Company doesn’t expect to make any such bonus payment to BPI as the underlying product financed is a product now at the end of its life and has not generated the minimum level of revenues to trigger the bonus.

The funding is paid in four installments. The first installment was received in March 2023 and amounted to €36,000 ($38,000 using the exchange rate of the funding date), the second installment was received in November 2024 and amounted to €63,000 ($69,000 using the exchange rate of the funding date) and the third installment was received in April 2025 and amounted to €21,000 ($22,000 using the exchange rate of the funding date). In March 2024, Bpifrance provided funding to the Company in the context of a long-term research project (5G eRedCap project) as part of the France 2030 initiative to support the development of technologies deemed to be strategically important to the national interest. The project is estimated to be completed over a 3-year period. The total funding amounted to €10,888,000 ($11,838,000 using the exchange rate of the grant date) with a portion in the form of a grant (€7,451,000 or $8,101,000) and a portion in the form of a forgivable loan (€3,437,000 or $3,737,000). The funding will be paid in four installments, the first of which was received in April 2024 for €1,863,000 ($2,025,000 using the exchange rate of the funding date) as grant and €859,000 ($934,000 using the exchange rate of the payment date) as forgivable loan. The second installment was received in June 2025 for €2,718,000 ($3,066,000 using the exchange rate of the funding date) as grant and €1,001,000 ($1,129,000 using the exchange rate of the payment date) as forgivable loan. The grant was recognized as a reduction of research and development expense when corresponding expense was incurred. The forgivable loan advance would be repaid initially from March 31, 2028 to January 31, 2031. In 2025, the Company reached an agreement with Bpifrance to reschedule repayments from September 30, 2028 to June 30, 2032. The change in the liability before and after the extension was recorded for a gain of $46,000 in the Consolidated Statement of Operations in "Gain (loss) on debt extinguishment". The forgivable loan bears interests at a 5.07% fixed contractual rate. The difference between the amount of forgivable loan received and the present value amounted to a reduction of $1,262,000 in the debt carrying value, with such difference being amortized over the contract period. The accrued interest of $104,000 was recorded as of December 31, 2025 ($556,000 as of December 2024 and $712,000 as of December 31, 2023) at an estimated market rate in a range from 20.9% to 22.0%.
