NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1 – Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of Vuzix Corporation (“the Company” or “Vuzix”) have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Accordingly, the unaudited consolidated financial statements do not include all information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The results of the Company’s operations for the three months ended March 31, 2025, are not necessarily indicative of the results of the Company’s operations for the full fiscal year or any other period.

The accompanying interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto of the Company as of and for the year ended December 31, 2024, as reported in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 13, 2025.

Customer Concentrations

For the three months ended March 31, 2025, one customer represented 42% of total product revenue and three customers represented 94% of engineering services revenue. For the three months ended March 31, 2024, one customer represented 60% of total product revenue and two customers represented 99% of engineering services revenue.

As of March 31, 2025, two customers represented 82% of accounts receivable. As of December 31, 2024, one customer represented 76% of accounts receivable.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company’s financial instruments primarily consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, unearned revenue, accrued expenses, and income and other taxes payable. As of the consolidated balance sheet dates, the estimated fair values of the financial instruments were not materially different from their carrying values as presented due to the short maturities of these instruments.

Going Concern

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. This basis of accounting contemplates the recovery of our assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to the specific amounts and classifications of assets and liabilities, which might be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern.

The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update No. (ASU) 2014- 15, “Presentation of Financial Statements — Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40): Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern”. As a result, management is primarily responsible for assessing if there is a going concern issue when issuing an entity’s financial statements. The going concern assumption underlies all GAAP financial reporting and therefore requires and assumes that the financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. It presumes that a Company will continue normal business operations into the future.

Additional disclosure is required when there is substantial doubt about business continuity or substantial doubt that has not been alleviated by management’s mitigation plans. As required under applicable accounting standards, management has concluded that substantial doubt may exist surrounding the Company's ability to meet its obligations within one year of the release of the financial statements.

Table of Contents

The Company incurred net losses for the three months ended March 31, 2025 of $8,637,626; $73,538,157 for the year ended December 31, 2024; and $50,149,077 for the year ended December 31, 2023. The Company had net cash outflows from operations of $3,453,623 for the three months ended March 31, 2025; $23,739,372 for the year ended December 31, 2024; and $26,277,824 for the year ended December 31, 2023. As of March 31, 2025, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $376,160,576. The Company’s cash outflows for investing activities were $764,132 for the three months ended March 31, 2025; $2,919,949 for the year ended December 31, 2024; and $19,280,966 for the year ended December 31, 2023.

The Company’s cash requirements going forward are primarily for funding operating losses, research and development, working capital and capital expenditures. Our cash requirements related to funding operating losses depend upon numerous factors, including new product development activities, our ability to commercialize our products, our products’ timely market acceptance, selling prices and gross margins, and other factors. Historically, the Company has met its cash needs primarily through the sale of equity securities. The Company will need to grow its business significantly to become profitable and self-sustaining on a cash flow basis or it will be required to cut its operating costs significantly or raise new equity and/or debt capital.

These historical financial factors initially raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company’s management intends to take actions necessary to continue as a going concern, as discussed herein. Management’s plans to alleviate the conditions that raise substantial doubt include raising further capital, the implementation of operational improvements and the curtailment of certain development programs, both of which the Company expects will preserve cash.

Management’s plans concerning these matters and managing our liquidity include, among other things:

●

The Company is working diligently to meet the milestones required to complete the second and third closings under the Company’s Securities Purchase Agreement, dated September 13, 2024, with Quanta Computer Inc., for the sale of up to $10,000,000 in Series B Preferred Stock. The second and third tranches, which are subject to specific milestones, will each be for the sale of $5,000,000 of Series B Preferred Stock. The Company expects that these milestones will be achieved by March of 2026;

●

Reductions in our cash annual operating expenses across all operating areas, including in the areas of Research and Development, Sales and Marketing and General and Administrative;

●

Reduction in the rate of new product introductions and further leveraging of existing platforms to reduce new product development and engineering costs;

●

Delaying or curtailing discretionary and non-essential capital expenditures not related to near-term product and manufacturing needs and reducing other investing activities for our 2025 fiscal year as compared to 2024 and 2023, now that our waveguide manufacturing plant expansion has substantially been completed and the license fees payments under the Atomistic License have been completed;

●

The expected margin contribution upon the commencement of volume manufacturing and sales of waveguides from our new waveguide manufacturing plant, particularly to OEM customers; and

●

Continued pursuit of licensing and strategic opportunities around our waveguide technologies with potential OEMs, which would include the receipt of upfront licensing fees and on-going supply agreements.

The Company has historically raised capital through the sale of equity securities. The Company has filed a Registration Statement on Form S-3 that became effective in May 2024, which includes a sales agreement prospectus for the issuance and sale of up to $50,000,000 of our common stock that may be issued and sold from time to time under a. sales agreement with an investment banking in an “at the market” offering. Since its start in May 2024, the Company has raised $9,854,809, including $1,262,250 in the three months ended March 31, 2025 and $413,084 subsequent to March 31, 2025. Management monitors the capital markets on an ongoing basis and may consider raising capital if favorable market conditions develop. If the Company’s actual results are less than projected or the Company needs to raise capital for additional liquidity, the Company may be required to pursue additional equity financings, further curtail expenses, or enter into one or more strategic transactions. However, management can make no assurance that the Company will be able to successfully complete any of the forementioned pursuits on terms acceptable to the Company, or at all.

Table of Contents

As a result of management’s plan above, our current amount of cash on hand, and our historical ability to raise capital, management has concluded that substantial doubt of our ability to continue as a going concern has been alleviated.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at year-end and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Segment Data, Geographic Information and Significant Customers

Operating segments are defined as components of an entity for which separate financial information is available and regularly reviewed by the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”). The Company’s CODM is its Chief Executive Officer. The Company is not organized by market and is managed and operated as one business. A single management team that reports to the CODM comprehensively manages the entire business. The Company does not operate any material separate lines of business or separate business entities and therefore manages its operations as a single operating segment and therefore a single reportable segment. Our CODM evaluates performance and makes operating decisions about allocating resources based on financial data presented on a consolidated basis, accompanied by information about revenue disaggregated by geographic region. Because our CODM evaluates financial performance on a consolidated basis, we have determined that we have a single operating segment composed of the consolidated financial results of Vuzix Corporation.

The CODM reviews financial information, presented on a consolidated basis, focusing on significant expenses and net loss/income for purposes of making operating decisions, allocating resources, and evaluating financial performance. The measure used by our CODM to assess performance and make operating decisions is net loss as reported on our consolidated statements of operations. Net loss is used by our CODM to identify underlying trends in the performance of our business and make comparisons with the financial performance of our competitors. The measure of segment assets is reported on the balance sheet as total consolidated assets. Our CODM also reviews total assets, as reported on our consolidated balance sheets, and purchases of fixed assets, as reported on our consolidated statements of cash flows.

Significant expenses regularly provided to and reviewed by the CODM are Cost of Sales, Research and Development, Compensation, General and Administrative and Intangible asset and equity investment impairment. These segment items for the three months ending March 31, 2025 and 2024 are:

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09 "Income Taxes (Topics 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures" to expand the disclosure requirements for income taxes, specifically related to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid. ASU 2023-09 is effective for our annual periods beginning January 1, 2025, with early adoption permitted. Management is currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2023-09 on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Note 2 – Revenue Recognition and Contracts with Customers

Disaggregated Revenue

The Company’s total revenue was comprised of two major product lines: Smart Glasses Sales and Engineering Services. The following table summarizes the revenue recognized by major product line:


	Three Months Ended
	March 31,
	2025		2024
Revenues
Products Sales	$	1,324,073	$	1,829,073
Engineering Services		256,868		174,794

Total Revenue	$	1,580,941	$	2,003,867

Significant Judgments

Under Topic 606 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”, we use judgments that could potentially impact both the timing of our satisfaction of performance obligations and our determination of transaction prices used in determining revenue recognized by major product line. Such judgments include considerations in determining our transaction prices and when our performance obligations are satisfied for our standard product sales. For our Engineering Services, performance obligations are recognized over time using the input method, and the estimated costs to complete each project are considered significant judgments.

Table of Contents

Performance Obligations

Revenues from our performance obligations are typically satisfied at a point-in-time for Smart Glasses, Waveguides and Display Engines, and our OEM Products, which are recognized when the customer obtains control and ownership, which is generally upon shipment. The Company considers shipping and handling activities performed to be fulfillment activities and not a separate performance obligation. The Company also records revenue for performance obligations relating to our Engineering Services over time by using the input method measuring progress toward satisfying the performance obligations. Satisfaction of our performance obligations related to our Engineering Services is measured by the Company’s costs incurred as a percentage of total expected costs to project completion, as the inputs of actual costs incurred by the Company are directly correlated with progress toward completing the contract. As such, the Company believes that our methodologies for recognizing revenue over time for our Engineering Services correlate directly with the transfer of control of the underlying assets to our customers.

Our standard product sales include a twelve (12) month assurance-type product warranty. In the case of certain OEM products and waveguide sales, some include a standard product warranty of up to eighteen (18) months to allow distribution channels to offer the end customer a full twelve (12) months of coverage. We offer an extended warranty to customers that extends the standard product warranty on product sales for an additional twelve (12) month period. All revenue related to extended product warranty sales is deferred and recognized over the extended warranty period. Our Engineering Services contracts vary from contract to contract but typically include payment terms of Net 30 days from the date of billing, subject to an agreed upon customer acceptance period.

As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, there were $94,050 and $109,725, respectively, in outstanding performance obligations remaining for extended warranties.

The following table presents a summary of the Company’s sales by revenue recognition method as a percentage of total net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024:


	% of Total Net Sales
	2025		2024
Point-in-Time	84	%	91	%
Over Time – Input Method	16	%	9	%

Total	100	%	100	%

Remaining Performance Obligations

As of March 31, 2025, the Company had $1,941,434 of remaining performance obligations under a current waveguide development project, including initial product production, which represents the remainder of transaction prices totaling $3,500,000 under this development project, which commenced in 2023, less revenue recognized under percentage of completion to date. The Company expects to recognize the remaining revenue related to this project based upon expected due dates, in the amounts of 33% in 2025 and 67% in 2026. Revenues earned less amounts invoiced at March 31, 2025 was $308,566 and $673,498 at December 31, 2024.

As March 31, 2024, the Company had $2,825,915 of remaining performance obligations under two current waveguide development projects, which represents the remainder of transaction prices totaling $3,565,000 under these development agreements, less revenue recognized under percentage of completion to date.

As of March 31, 2025, the Company had no material outstanding performance obligations related to product sales, other than its standard and extended product warranty.

Note 3 – Loss Per Share

Basic loss per share is computed by dividing the loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution

Table of Contents

from the assumed exercise of stock options. During periods of net loss, all common stock equivalents are excluded from the diluted EPS calculation because they are anti-dilutive. Since the Company reported a net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, the calculation for basic and diluted earnings per share is considered to be the same, as the impact of potential common shares is anti-dilutive. As of March 31, 2025 and 2024, there were 10,318,176 and 8,369,154 common stock share equivalents, for the three months then ended, respectively, potentially issuable from the exercise of stock options that could dilute basic earnings per share in the future.

The Company has 5,000,000 authorized shares of preferred stock with a par value of $0.001 as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

Of this total, 49,626 shares are designated as Series A Preferred Stock. There were nil shares of Series A Preferred Stock issued and outstanding on March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

Of the 5,000,000 authorized shares of preferred stock, the Company designated 800,000 shares as Series B Convertible Preferred Stock. There were nil shares of Series B Preferred Stock issued and outstanding as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024. The Series B Preferred Stock, when issued, will entitle the holders to cumulative dividends at the annual rate of 1.5% of the original issuance price, payable quarterly. Each share of Series B Preferred Stock, when issued, will be convertible, at the option of the holder, into ten shares of common stock, subject to adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends, and similar transactions. The Company may, at its option at any time, redeem the Series B Preferred Stock that are then outstanding. The Series B Preferred Stock, when issued, will not

Table of Contents

entitle the holders to voting rights, except with respect to certain actions which will require the consent of the holders of 66 2/3% of the outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock, or as required by law.

Common Stock

The Company’s authorized common stock consists of 100,000,000 shares, par value of $0.001. There were 76,822,087 shares issued and 76,242,415 shares outstanding as of March 31, 2025 and 76,553,694 shares issued and 75,974,022 shares outstanding as of December 31, 2024.

On September 3, 2024, Vuzix entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (“SPA”) with Quanta Computer Inc. (“Quanta”), for the sale by the Company to Quanta of (i) $10,000,000 of the Company’s common stock, and (ii) up to $10,000,000 of the Company’s newly created Series B Convertible Preferred Stock.

The first closing under the SPA, for the sale of $10,000,000 of the Company’s common stock at a purchase price of $1.30 per share, occurred on September 13, 2024.

The second closing under the SPA, for the sale of $5,000,000 of the Company’s Series B Preferred Stock, at a purchase price per share equal to the higher of (a) $13.00 or (b) ten times the volume-weighted average sale price of the common stock for the thirty trading days before the date on which the conditions for the second closing are met, will occur fifteen business days after the day on which closing conditions for such closing are met or waived, or such other date as may be agreed to between the Company and Quanta. The second closing will be subject to, among other closing conditions, the Waveguide Plate Production Capacity Rate (as defined under the SPA) at the Company’s Rochester, New York waveguide manufacturing plant being reasonably demonstrated to reach certain production levels and yields based on a Sampled run-rate basis (as defined in the SPA).

The third closing under the SPA, for the sale of $5,000,000 of the Company’s Series B Preferred Stock, at a purchase price per share equal to the higher of (a) $13.00 or (b) ten times the volume-weighted average sale price of the common stock for the thirty trading days before the date on which the conditions for the third closing are met, will occur fifteen business days after the day on which closing conditions for such closing are met or waived, or such other date as may be agreed to between the Company and Quanta. The third closing will be subject to, among other closing conditions, the Waveguide Plate Production Capacity Rate at the Company’s Rochester, New York waveguide manufacturing plant being reasonably demonstrated to reach certain production levels and yields based on a Sampled run-rate basis. The Company evaluated the provisions of the agreement and concluded that the second and third tranche obligations are not free-standing instruments and do not require bifurcation from the host.

The SPA may be terminated by either party if the second closing has not occurred by September 3, 2025 (12 months from the date of the SPA), or if the third closing has not occurred by March 3, 2026 (18 months from the date of the SPA).

The Company expects to use up to 15% of the net proceeds under the SPA for collaboration on Consumer and Enterprise new generation product development associated with smart glasses for each party’s needs and third-party consumers utilizing waveguides of the Company over the term of the SPA.

ATM Program

The Company filed a Registration Statement on Form S-3 with the SEC that became effective in May 2024, which includes a sales agreement prospectus for the issuance and sale of up to $50,000,000 of our common stock that may be issued and sold from time to time under a sales agreement with an investment bank in an “at the market” (or ATM) offering.

In the first quarter of 2025, the Company sold 243,541 shares of common stock for gross proceeds of $1,301,288 (average of $5.34 per share) before deducting broker expenses paid by the Company of $39,039 pursuant to the terms of the ATM offering.

Note 12 – Stock-Based Compensation

A summary of stock option activity related to the Company’s standard employee incentive plan (excluding options awarded under the Long-Term Incentive Plan (LTIP) – Note 13) for the three months ended March 31, 2025, is as follows:


		Weighted		Average
	Number of	Average		Remaining Life
	Options	Exercise Price		(years)
Outstanding at December 31, 2024	4,609,187	$	4.25	7.84
Granted	10,000		3.16
Exercised	(36,250)		1.33
Expired or Forfeited	(23,564)		9.65

Outstanding at March 31, 2025	4,559,373	$	4.24	7.54

The weighted average remaining contractual term for all options as of March 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024, was 7.54 years and 7.84 years, respectively.

As of March 31, 2025, there were 1,833,087 options that were fully vested and exercisable at a weighted average exercise price of $8.26 per share. The weighted average remaining contractual term of the vested options is 5.3 years.

As of March 31, 2025, there were 2,726,286 unvested options exercisable at a weighted average exercise price of $1.56 per share. The weighted average remaining contractual term of the unvested options is 9.0 years.

The weighted average fair value of option grants was calculated using the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing method.

On March 19, 2025, the Company issued 509,571 Restricted Stock Units (RSUs) and 207,404 Performance Stock Units (PSUs) to all employees of the Company, excluding certain members of senior management that are currently in the Company’s LTIP. The fair market value on the date of award of the RSUs and PSUs was $2.30, resulting in an aggregate fair value of $1,649,041. The fair market value of these awards will be expensed over twenty and a half (20.5) months beginning March 19, 2025. The RSUs vest upon the achievement of certain revenue and EBITDA targets and, as of March 31, 2025, these targets are considered probable and the associated expense is being amortized. If revenue or EBITDA targets are exceeded by 150%, an additional 103,702 PSUs could vest. As of March 31, 2025, these bonus targets are not considered probable and are not being amortized.

For the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company recorded total stock-based compensation expense, including stock awards but excluding stock option awards under the Company’s LTIP, of $1,702,802 and $983,650, respectively.

As of March 31, 2025, the Company had $2,710,303 of unrecognized stock compensation expense related to stock options and stock awards, which will be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.5 years.

Note 13 – Long-Term Incentive Plan

On March 17, 2021, the Company granted options to purchase a total of 5,784,000 shares of common stock to its officers and certain other members of its management team. The options were granted under the Company’s 2014 Incentive Stock Plan. The options have an exercise price of $19.00, with 375,000 options vesting immediately and the remaining portion vesting upon the achievement of certain equity market capitalization milestones, and revenue and EBITDA operational milestones. For the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company recorded non-cash stock-based compensation expense of $1,226,154 and $1,409,294, respectively, for options that vested or are probable to

Table of Contents

vest. These expenses are presented in the same financial statement line items in the Statements of Operations as the cash-based compensation expenses for the same employees.

The fair value of option grants was calculated using a Monte Carlo simulation for the equity market capitalization tranches and the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing method for the operational milestone tranches. As of March 31, 2025, we had $1,929,995 of total unrecognized stock-based compensation expense for the portion of options tied to equity market capitalization milestones and the portion of options tied to operational milestones that were considered probable of achievement, all of which are being recognized over a service period of up to two to three years. The probabilities of the milestone achievements are subject to catch-up adjustments in each instance where an equity market capitalization milestone is achieved or when an operational milestone becomes probable to be achieved or is achieved. Compensation costs could be reversed in subsequent periods if an awardee leaves the Company prior to the completion of the requisite service period for market capitalization milestone or performance award vesting of a performance award no longer determined to be probable. If such milestones are achieved earlier in their expected service periods, the remaining unrecognized compensation expense related to that particular milestone would be accelerated and recognized in full during the period where that achievement is affirmed by the Board of Directors. As of March 31, 2025, and going forward, should all the operational milestones which are currently not yet deemed probable of achievement become probable of achievement or are achieved, then the Company could ultimately recognize up to an additional $33.7 million in non-cash stock-based compensation expense at such time.

The unvested remaining equity market and operational milestones under the LTIP with their total related option grants and criteria achievement weightings of the options available for meeting a target are shown in the following table. Of the total 5,359,500 unvested options outstanding as of March 31, 2025, there are 2,679,750 unvested options for the achievement of Equity Market Capitalization targets, 1,875,825 unvested options for the achievement of annual revenue targets, and 803,925 unvested options for the achievement of annual EBITDA Margins Before Non-Cash Charges targets.

Note 14 – Litigation

We are involved in various lawsuits and claims arising in the ordinary course of business, including actions with respect to intellectual property, employment, and contractual matters. In connection with these matters, we assess, on a regular basis, the probability and range of possible loss based on the developments in these matters. A liability is recorded in the condensed consolidated financial statements if it is believed to be probable that a loss has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. Because litigation is inherently unpredictable and unfavorable resolutions could occur, assessing contingencies is highly subjective and requires judgments about future events. We regularly review outstanding legal matters to determine the adequacy of the liabilities accrued and related disclosures in consideration of many factors, which include, but are not limited to, past history, scientific and other evidence, and the specifics and status of each matter. We may change our estimates if our assessment of the various factors changes and the amount of ultimate loss may differ from our estimates, resulting in a material effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, and/or cash flows. With respect to these matters, based upon management’s current knowledge, the Company believes that the amount or range of any reasonably possible loss, if any, will not, either

Table of Contents

individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Note 15 – Right-of-Use Assets and Liabilities

Future lease payments under operating leases as of March 31, 2025, were as follows:


Future Lease Payments (Remainder of 2025)	$	372,349
Less: Imputed Interest		(12,906)
Total Lease Liability Balance	$	359,443

Operating lease costs under the operating leases totaled $208,766 and $191,505 for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

As of March 31, 2025, the weighted average discount rate was 7.1% and the weighted average remaining lease term was 0.7 years.

Item 2.Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

You should read the following discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations in conjunction with the financial statements and related notes appearing elsewhere in this quarterly report and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.

As used in this report, unless otherwise indicated, the terms “Company,” “Vuzix”, “management,” “we,” “our,” and “us” refer to Vuzix Corporation.

Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Developments and Estimates

The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based upon our unaudited consolidated financial statements and related notes appearing elsewhere in this quarterly report. The preparation of these statements in conformity with GAAP requires the appropriate application of certain accounting policies, many of which require us to make estimates and assumptions about future events and their impact on amounts reported in our consolidated financial statements, including the statement of operations, balance sheet, cash flow and related notes. We continually evaluate our estimates used in the preparation of our financial statements, including those related to revenue recognition, allowance for credit losses, inventories, warranty reserves, product warranty, carrying value of long-lived assets, fair value measurement of financial instruments, valuation of stock compensation awards, achievement of equity market capitalization and probability of operational milestones being achieved under our LTIP, and income taxes. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not apparent from other sources. Since future events and their impact cannot be determined with certainty, the actual results will inevitably differ from our estimates. Such differences could be material to the consolidated financial statements.

We believe that our application of accounting policies, and the estimates inherently required therein, are reasonable. We periodically re-evaluate these accounting policies and estimates and make adjustments when facts and circumstances dictate. Historically, we have found our application of accounting policies to be appropriate, and actual results have not differed materially from those determined using such necessary estimates.

Management believes certain factors and trends are important in understanding our financial performance. The critical accounting policies, judgments and estimates we believe have the most significant effect on our consolidated financial statements are:

●

Valuation of inventories;

Table of Contents

●

Going concern;

●

Investments in equity securities;

●

Carrying value of long-lived assets and other intangible assets;

●

Software development costs;

●

Revenue recognition;

●

Product warranty;

●

Stock-based compensation; and

●

Income taxes.

Our accounting policies are more fully described in the notes to our consolidated financial statements included in this quarterly report and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024. There have been no significant changes in our accounting policies for the three months ended March 31, 2025.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have, or are reasonably likely to have, an effect on our financial condition, financial statements, revenues or expenses.

Business Matters

We are engaged in the design, manufacture, marketing and sale of augmented reality wearable display devices also referred to as head mounted displays (or HMDs, but also known as near-eye displays), in the form of Smart Glasses, AI powered Smart Glasses, Waveguides, and Augmented Reality (AR) technologies. Our wearable display devices are worn like eyeglasses or attach to a head worn mount. These devices typically include cameras, sensors, and a computer that enable the user to view, record and interact with video and digital content, such as computer data, the Internet, social media or entertainment applications. Our wearable display products integrate micro-display technology with our advanced optics to produce compact high-resolution display engines, less than half an inch diagonally, which when viewed through our Smart Glasses products create virtual images that appear comparable in size to that of a computer monitor or a large-screen television. We design and manufacture waveguide optics and related coupling optics combined for use with compact display engines from third parties to form a see-through display modules needed for AI/AR smart glasses.

With respect to our Smart Glasses and AI/AR products, we are focused on the enterprise, defense, industrial, medical and commercial markets. All of the mobile display and mobile electronics markets in which we compete have been subject to rapid technological change over the last decade including the rapid adoption of tablets, larger screen sizes and display resolutions along with declining prices on mobile phones and other computing devices, and as a result we must continue to improve our products’ performance and lower our costs. We believe our technology, intellectual property portfolio and position in the marketplace give us a leadership position in AI/AR and Smart Glasses products, waveguide optics, microLEDs and display engine technology.

Sales. There was a decrease in total sales for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to the same period in 2024 of $422,926, or 21%. The following table reflects the major components of our sales:


	Three Months Ended		% of		Three Months Ended		% of		Dollar		% Increase
	March 31, 2025		Total Sales		March 31, 2024		Total Sales		Change		(Decrease)

Total Sales	$	1,580,941	100	%	$	2,003,867	100	%	$	(422,926)	(21)	%

Sales of products decreased by 28% for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to the same period in 2024. Reduced Smart Glasses revenue was the primary driver of this decrease as unit sales of our M400 product decreased compared to the previous year’s comparable period.

Sales of engineering services for the three months ended March 31, 2025, was $256,868 compared to $174,794 in the comparable 2024 period.

Cost of Sales and Gross Loss. Cost of product revenues and engineering services are comprised of materials, components, labor, warranty costs, freight costs, manufacturing overhead, software royalties, the depreciation for our tooling and manufacturing equipment, and amortization of software development costs related to the production of our products and rendering of engineering services. The following table reflects the components of our cost of goods sold:


	Three Months Ended		% of		Three Months Ended		% of		Dollar		% Increase
	March 31, 2025		Total Sales		March 31, 2024		Total Sales		Change		(Decrease)
Product Cost of Sales	$	1,026,615	65	%	$	1,317,345	66	%	$	(290,730)	(22)	%

Gross Loss	$	(265,118)	(17)	%	$	(53,253)	(3)	%	$	(211,865)	398	%

For the three months ended March 31, 2025, there was a gross loss from total sales of $265,118, or 17% compared to a gross loss of $53,253, or 3% in the comparable period in 2024.

Unapplied manufacturing overhead costs, not already added into product cost of sales, increased by $93,867, or 19% for the three months ended March 31, 2025 over the 2024 comparable period. As a percentage of total sales, such costs increased to 37% compared to 24% in 2024 due to lower quarterly product revenue. The increase in the net dollar amount of these unapplied overhead costs in the current period versus the prior period was primarily driven by a further decrease in actual production levels during the 2025 period compared to the same period in 2024, as the Company has sufficient finished goods on hand to meet currently expected demand for current Smart Glasses models for the foreseeable future.

Depreciation and Amortization included in cost of sales decreased by $4,697, or 3% for the three months ended March 31, 2025 versus the 2024 period.

Table of Contents

Research and Development. Our research and development expenses consist primarily of compensation costs for personnel, including non-cash stock-based compensation expenses, third-party services, purchase of research supplies and materials, and consulting fees related to research and development. Software development expenses to determine technical feasibility before final development and ongoing maintenance are not capitalized and are included in research and development expenses.

Total Research and Development Costs	$	2,605,840	165	%	$	2,738,449	137	%	$	(132,609)	(5)	%

Total research and development expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2025 decreased by $132,609, or 5% compared to the comparable period in 2024. This decrease was largely due to a $473,995 decrease in salary and benefits related expenses partially offset by a $316,918 increase in external development costs on our new products.

Selling and Marketing. Selling and marketing expenses consist of trade show costs, advertising, sales samples, travel costs, sales staff compensation costs including non-cash stock-based compensation expense, consulting fees, public relations agency fees, website costs, and sales commissions paid to full-time staff and outside consultants.



	Three Months Ended		% of		Three Months Ended		% of		Dollar		% Increase

Total Selling and Marketing	$	1,537,466	97	%	$	2,220,782	111	%	$	(683,316)	(31)	%

Total selling and marketing expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2025 decreased by $683,316, or 31% compared to the comparable period in 2024. This decrease was largely due to a $365,207 decrease in salary and benefits related expenses driven by headcount decreases and cash salary decreases in exchange for equity compensation; a decrease of $157,571 in advertising and tradeshow expenses; and a $134,475 decrease in external contractor expenses.

General and Administrative. General and administrative expenses include professional fees, investor relations (IR) costs, salaries and related non-cash stock-based compensation, travel costs, and office and rental costs.

Table of Contents

Total general and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2025, decreased by $137,273, or 3% compared to the comparable period in 2024. The decrease was largely due to a $391,403 decrease in cash salary and benefits related to our 2024 cash salary reduction program in exchange for equity; a $258,974 decrease in legal expenses; and a $47,246 decrease in insurance premiums; partially offset by a $344,313 increase in non-cash stock-based compensation and a $330,174 increase in IR related expenses.

Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization expense, not included in cost of sales, for the three months ended March 31,2025, was $405,011, compared to $970,377 in the comparable period in 2024, or a decrease of $565,366. This decrease was due to a significant decrease in amortization expense related to our Atomistic technology license, which was written-off as of June 30, 2024.

Other Income, Net. Total other income was $136,793 for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to other income of $44,813 in the comparable period in 2024, an increase of $91,980. The overall increase in other income was primarily the result of a decrease of $94,217 in foreign exchange losses; an increase of $15,881 in investment income on excess cash on hand; partially offset by an increase in income and other taxes of $18,118.

Provision for Income Taxes. There was not a provision for income taxes in the respective three-month periods ending March 31, 2025 and 2024.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Capital Resources: As of March 31, 2025, we had cash and cash equivalents of $15,231,001, a decrease of $2,955,505 from $18,186,506 as of December 31, 2024.

As of March 31, 2025, we had current assets of $22,385,266 compared to current liabilities of $2,915,505 which resulted in a positive working capital position of $19,469,761. As of December 31, 2024, we had a working capital position of $24,610,217. Our current liabilities are comprised principally of accounts payable, accrued expenses, and operating lease right-of-use liabilities.

Table of Contents

As of March 31, 2025, the Company does not have any current or long-term debt obligations outstanding.

Management’s plans concerning these matters and managing our liquidity include, among other things:

●

Reductions in our cash annual operating expenses across all operating areas, including in the areas of Research and Development, Sales and Marketing and General and Administrative;

●

Reduction in the rate of new product introductions and further leveraging of existing platforms to reduce new product development and engineering costs;

●

The expected margin contribution upon the commencement of volume manufacturing and sales of waveguides from our new waveguide manufacturing plant, particularly to OEM customers; and

●

The Company has historically raised capital through the sale of equity securities. The Company filed a Registration Statement on Form S-3 that became effective in May 2024, which includes a sales agreement prospectus for the issuance and sale of up to $50,000,000 of our common stock that may be issued and sold from time to time under a sales agreement with an investment bank in an “at the market” (or ATM) offering. Since commencement of the ATM offering in May 2024, the Company has raised $9,854,809, including $1,262,250 in the three months ended March 31, 2025 and $413,084 subsequent to March 31, 2025. Management monitors the capital markets on an ongoing basis and may consider raising capital if favorable market conditions develop. If the Company needs to raise capital for additional liquidity, the Company may pursue additional equity financings, further curtail expenses, or enter into one or more strategic transactions. However, management can make no assurance that the Company will be able to successfully complete any of the forementioned pursuits on terms acceptable to the Company, or at all.

●

expected technological advances by us or by third parties and our ability to leverage them;

●

our ability to deliver an adequate supply of product to meet demand;

All statements in this quarterly report that are not historical facts are forward-looking statements. We may, in some cases, use terms such as “anticipates,” “believes,” “could,” “estimates,” “expects,” “intends,” “may,” “plans,” “potential,” “predicts,” “projects,” “should,” “will,” “would” or similar expressions that convey uncertainty of future events or outcomes to identify forward-looking statements.

All such forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties and should be evaluated in light of important risk factors that may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performances or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. These risk factors include, but are not limited to, those described in “Risk Factors” under Item 1A and elsewhere in our Annual

Table of Contents

Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, and other filings we make with the Securities and Exchange Commission and the following: business and economic conditions, rapid technological changes accompanied by frequent new product introductions, competitive pressures, dependence on key customers, inability to gauge order flows from customers, fluctuations in quarterly and annual results, the reliance on a limited number of third-party suppliers, limitations of our manufacturing capacity and arrangements, the protection of our proprietary technology, the dependence on key personnel, changes in critical accounting estimates, potential impairments related to investments, foreign regulations, changes in trade policy in the United States and other countries, including changes in trade agreements and the imposition of tariffs, liquidity issues, and potential material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting. Further, during weak or uncertain economic periods, customers may delay the placement of their orders. These factors often result in a substantial portion of our revenue being derived from orders placed within a quarter and shipped in the final month of the same quarter.

We caution readers to carefully consider such factors. Many of these factors are beyond our control. In addition, any forward-looking statements represent our estimates only as of the date they are made and should not be relied upon as representing our estimates as of any subsequent date. While we may elect to update forward-looking statements at some point in the future, except as may be required under applicable securities laws, we specifically disclaim any obligation to do so.

Item 3.Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

We invest our excess cash in high-quality short-term corporate debt instruments, which bear lower levels of relative risk. We believe that the effect, if any, of possible near-term changes in interest rates on our financial position, results of operations, and cash flows should not be material to our cash flows or income. It is possible that interest rate movements would increase our unrealized gain or loss on interest rate securities purchased at a discount. We are exposed to changes in foreign currency exchange rates primarily through transaction gains and losses as a result of non-U.S. dollar denominated cash flows related to business activities in Japan and Europe. We do not currently hedge our foreign currency exchange rate risk. We estimate that any market risk associated with our international operations is unlikely to have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operation.

Item 4.Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Management, with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), has performed an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures that are defined in Rule 13a-15 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) as of the end of the period covered by this report. This evaluation included consideration of the controls, processes, and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is properly recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our CEO and CFO, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on this evaluation, our management, including our CEO and CFO, concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at March 31, 2025.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There have not been any changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) promulgated under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the Company’s most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
