11.     PREPAID COMMISSION EXPENSE

The Company pays a commission on both System sales and treatment session sales. Since the commission paid for the System sales is not commensurate with the commission paid for treatment sessions, the Company capitalizes commission expense associated with the System commissions paid that is incremental to specifically anticipated future treatment session orders. In developing this estimate, the Company

considered its historical treatment session sales and customer retention rates, as well as technology development life cycles and other industry factors. These costs are periodically reviewed for impairment.

The System commissions are deferred and amortized on a straight-line basis over a seven year period equal to the average customer term, which the Company deems to be the expected period of benefit for these costs.

On the Company’s consolidated balance sheets, the current portion of capitalized contract costs is presented in current portion of prepaid commission expense, while the long-term portion is included in prepaid commission expense. Amortization expense was $0.8 million for both of the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 and $1.6 million for both of the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025.
