Note 5. Certificates of Deposits

At December 31, 2025, the Company held certificates of deposits (CDs) totaling $915 thousand which are restricted due to their use as collateral for bank guarantees issued for equipment managed service contracts. The CDs have either a 6-month or 12-month term and are maintained in a bank account in the Company’s name. Interest earned on the CDs is accrued to the Company. Under the terms of the service contracts, the supplier may claim the funds in the event of a material default by the Company in fulfilling its payment obligations. These arrangements do not transfer ownership or control of the CDs but restrict their use for the duration of the CD term. Additionally, in conjunction with the Company’s new service contracts in 2025, the supplier required the Company to maintain these CD’s throughout the duration of the contract period, or until the supplier agrees to release them. This resulted in a long-term restriction on the CDs.
