NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 – BUSINESS
We were formed under the law of Wyoming on November 8, 2019. We changed our domicile to Delaware on March 5, 2021. We are a vertically integrated manufacturing company for photonics-based industrial products and solutions and, since recently acquiring the assets of Control Micro Systems, Inc., have now expanded the market for our laser products into a large, growing pharmaceutical manufacturing vertical, in what we believe is a recession-resistant sector with significant barriers to entry.
Our vertically integrated operations allow us to reduce development and advanced laser equipment manufacturing time, offer better prices, control quality and protect our proprietary knowhow and technology compared to other laser cleaning companies and companies with competing technologies.
On November 27, 2023, FASB issues ASU 2023-07. ASU 2023-07 is effective for public entities fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. ASU 2023-07 enhances segment reporting under Topic 280 by expanding the breadth and frequency of segment disclosures. Its amendments fall into the following categories. Topic 280 requires a public entity to disclose entity-wide and segment information in the notes to financial statements. This includes the measure of profit or loss that the CODM uses to assess segment performance and decide how to allocate resources, as well as certain specified amounts included in that measure – e.g. revenue, depreciation and amortization, interest and income tax expense. However, investors have observed that there has been limited information reported about a segment’s expenses. The analysis of the company after acquisition of CMS concluded that we have only one segment and according to this, the results will be disclosed consolidated.
Going Concern
The Company has not earned sufficient revenue since its inception and has sustained operating losses during the quarter ending March 31, 2025, mainly due to investments in its sales and marketing departments. The Company had sufficient working capital as of December 31, 2024. However, the Company’s continuation as a going concern is dependent on its ability to generate additional cash flow from operations to meet its obligations and/or obtain additional financing, as may be required. There is substantial doubt of the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES & USE OF ESTIMATES.
The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements and notes of Laser Photonics Corporation (the “Company”) are presented in United States dollars and have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim financial information. Accordingly, those do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements, notes and significant accounting policies included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.
Given the nature of the revenue recognition process, the company generates contract liabilities to the extent that a customer pays on project progress before the company fulfills its performance obligations under a contract or contract assets to the extent that the company has earned by satisfying performance obligations but has not yet billed the customer. Contract assets represent a right to receive payment in the future once certain conditions are met per the terms of the contract. The balance of contract asset and liabilities as of 3/31/25 were $639,108 and $1,337963, respectively, and as of 12/31/24 were $759,658 and $1,042,090, respectively.
ASC-327 Segment Reporting
Financial Accounting Standard Board (“FASB”) ASC Topic 280, “Segment Reporting,” requires annual and interim reporting for an enterprise’s operating segments and related disclosures about its products, services, geographic areas and major customers. An operating segment is defined as a component of an enterprise that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues and expenses, and about which separate financial information is regularly evaluated by the chief operating decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources.
Laser Photonics operates as one segment located in Orlando, FL. Our company develops industrial laser cleaning, cutting, welding, marking, and wire stripping across multiple industries and customer bases. The chief operating decision maker (CODM) being the Chief Executive Officer. The CODM uses net income from operations to evaluate and make key operating decisions
Our significant accounting policies are provided in “Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” in our Financial Statements 2024 Form 10-K. There have been no material changes to our significant accounting policies from those disclosed in our 2024 Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent liabilities at dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the periods. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Our significant estimates and assumptions include depreciation and the fair value of our stock, stock-based compensation, debt discount and the valuation allowance relating to the Company’s deferred tax assets.
Assets
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents consist of highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less at the date of purchase. Cash and cash equivalents are carried at cost, which approximates fair value.
As of March 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024, the Company had $179,091 and $533,871 of cash, respectively.
Accounts Receivable
Trade accounts receivable are recorded net of allowance for expected uncollectible accounts. The Company extends credit to its customers in the normal course of business and performs on-going credit evaluations of its customers. All accounts, or portions thereof, that are deemed uncollectible are written off to bad debt expense, as incurred. As of March 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024, the Company’s ledger had $904,155and $973,605, respectively as a balance for collectible accounts. Allowance and amount recognized as bad debt as of March 31,2025 are $193,333and 10,651 respectively, and as of December 31, 2024, were $193,333and $248,413 respectively. In 2024, the Company implemented processes to be following ASC326.
As of March 31, 2025, the debts of GE Precision Healthcare LLC (17.8%), Hydro Flask c/o Helen of Troy (15.9%), RS Integrated Supply Puerto Rico LLC (35.9%) and Specialized Bicycle (10.1%), were over 10% of the total of the A/R. As of December 31, 2024, debts of Nebraska Public Power District (10.2%), Phillips66 (17%), Fisher & Paykel Healthcare Ltd (13.9%) and New England Small Tube Corporation (19%), were over 10% of the total.
Advertising Expenses
Marketing, advertising and promotion expenditures are expensed in the annual period in which the expenditure is incurred.
Research & Development Expenses
Research & Development expenditures are expensed in the annual period in which the expenditure is incurred.
Stock Based Compensation
The Company accounts for stock-based payments in accordance with the provision of ASC 718, which requires that all share-based payments issued to acquire goods or services, including grants of employee stock options, be recognized in the statement of operations based on their fair values, net of estimated forfeitures. ASC 718 requires forfeitures to be estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. Compensation related to share-based awards is recognized over the requisite service period, which is generally the vesting period.
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation awards issued to non-employees for services, as prescribed by ASC 718-10, at either the fair value of the services rendered or the instruments issued in exchange for such services, whichever is more readily determinable. The Company issues compensatory shares for services including, but not limited to, executives, management, accounting, operations, corporate communication, financial and administrative consulting services.
Lease Accounting
The Company leases office space and the production facility under operating lease agreements. The lease term begins on the date of initial possession of the leased property for purposes of recognizing lease expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Lease renewal periods are considered on a lease-by-lease basis and are generally not included in the initial lease term.
Revenue Recognition
Under Topic 606, an entity recognizes revenue when its customer obtains control of promised goods or services, in an amount that reflects the consideration which the entity expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. To determine revenue recognition for arrangements that an entity determines are within the scope of Topic 606, the entity performs the following five steps: (i) identify the contract(s) with a customer; (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (iii) determine the transaction price; (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. The Company only applies the five-step model to contracts when it is probable that the entity will collect the consideration it is entitled to in exchange for the goods or services it transfers to the customer. At contract inception, once the contract is determined to be within the scope of Topic 606, we assess the goods or services promised within each contract and determine those that are performance obligations and assess whether each promised good or service is distinct. The Company then recognizes as revenue the amount of the transaction price that is allocated to the respective performance obligation when (or as) the performance obligation is satisfied.
Revenue is then recognized for the transaction price allocated to each respective performance obligation when (or as) the performance obligation is satisfied. For our products, revenue is generally recognized upon shipment or pickup by the customer. At this stage, the title on the manufactured equipment is transferred to the customer, and the customer is responsible for transportation expenses, insurance, and any transport-related damage to the equipment in transit. We do not have any obligation to deliver beyond the collection warehouse, and it is the customers’ contractual responsibility to ensure their goods reach their destination.
In CMS for projects that are considered custom in nature and determined the obligation will be six months to a year or more, the company will recognize revenue as a percentage of completion basis. The percentage of completion method recognizes income as work on a project progresses. The recognition of revenues and profits is generally related to costs incurred in providing the services required under the project.
Refunds and returns, which are minimal, are recorded as a reduction of revenue. Payments received from customers before satisfying the above criteria are recorded as unearned income on the combined balance sheets.
Payments received as deposits for specific purchase orders or future laser equipment sales to customers are recognized as customer deposits and included in liabilities on the balance sheet. Customer deposits are recognized as revenue when control over the ordered equipment is transferred to the customer.
All revenues are reported net of any sales discounts or taxes.
Other Revenue Recognition Matters related to Distributors.
Distributors generally have no right to return unsold equipment. However, in limited circumstances, if the Company determines that distributor stock is morally aging beyond the Company’s new model releases, it may accept returns and provide the distributor with credit against their trading account at the Company’s discretion under its warranty policy. This revenue is recognized on a consignment basis and transfer of control is when an item is sold to end customer at which time the company recognizes revenue.
Cash and cash equivalents consist of highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less at the date of purchase. Cash and cash equivalents are carried at a cost, which approximates fair value.
Trade accounts receivable is recorded net of allowance for expected uncollectible accounts. The Company extends credit to its customers in the normal course of business and performs on-going credit evaluations of its customers. All accounts, or portions thereof, that are deemed uncollectible are written off to bad debt expense, as incurred. In addition, most sales orders are not accepted without a substantial deposit. As of March 31, 2025, the balance of collectible accounts was $904,155. amount recognized as bad debt ask of March 31, 2025, is $10,651.
Current Liabilities
Accounts Payable
Accounts payable consist of short-term liability to our vendors and sub-contractors, who extend credit terms to the Company or deliver goods or services with delayed payment terms. As of March 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024, our accounts payable were recorded at $1,292,178 and $531,268, respectively.
Deferred Revenue
As of March 31, 2025, the Company had $470,493in Deferred Revenue, and as of December 31, 2024, the Company’s deferred revenue liabilities were recorded at $55,383.
Loans and Notes Payable
On February 13, 2025, the Company entered into a Business Loan and Security Agreement dated February 13, 2025 (the “Loan Agreement”) among Agile Capital Funding, LLC (“Agile Capital”), Agile Lending, LLC (“Agile Lending”) and the Company’s subsidiary, Control Micro Systems Florida, LLC, under which the Company issued a Confessed Judgment Promissory Note for a term loan in the principal amount of $1,050,000to be repaid through weekly principal and interest payments of $54,000commencing February 24, 2025, and ending September 1, 2025, subject to payment of a $50,000administrative agent fee paid to Agile Capital. The Loan is secured by a blanket lien on the Company’s assets. The Loan may be prepaid subject to payment of prepayment fee equal to the aggregate and actual amount of interest (at the contract rate of interest) that would be paid through the maturity date.
Inventory
Inventories are stated at a lower cost or net realizable value using the first-in-first-out (FIFO) method. The Company has four principal categories of inventory:
Equipment parts inventory - This inventory represents components and raw materials that are currently in the process of being converted to a certifiable lot of saleable products through the manufacturing and/or equipment assembly process. Inventories include parts and components that may be specialized in nature and subject to rapid obsolescence. The Company periodically reviews the quantities and carrying values of inventories to assess whether the inventories are recoverable. Because of the Company’s vertical integration, a significant or sudden decrease in sales activity could result in a significant change in the estimates of excess or obsolete inventory valuation. The costs associated with provisions for excess quantities, technological obsolescence, or component rejections are charged to the cost of sales as incurred.
Work in process inventory - Work in process inventory consists of inventory that is partially manufactured or not fully assembled as of the date of these financial statements. This equipment, machines, parts, frames, lasers and assemblies are items not ready for use or resale. Costs are accumulated as work in process until sales ready items are compete when it is moved to finished goods inventory. Amounts in this account represent items at various stages of completion at the date of these financial statements.
Finished goods inventory - Finished goods inventory consists of purchased inventory that were fully manufactured, assembled or in saleable condition. Finished goods inventory is comprised of items that are complete and ready for commercial application without further cost other that delivery and setup. Finished goods inventory includes demo and other equipment, lasers, software, machines, parts or assemblies.
Sales demonstration inventory - Sales demonstration inventory represents completed product used to support our sales force for demonstrations and held for sale. A Sales demonstration inventory was being held in our demo facilities or by our sales representatives for up to three years, at which time it would be refurbished and transferred to finished goods as used equipment, stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. The Company expects these refurbished units to remain in finished goods inventory and sold within 12 months at prices that produce reduced gross margins. The items in this category were reclassified as assets in Q3 2024.
At March 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024, respectively, our inventory consisted of the following:

Fixed Assets - Plant Machinery and Equipment
Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Expenditures for major additions and improvements are capitalized and minor replacements, maintenance, and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. When property and equipment are retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts, and any resulting gain or loss is included in the results of operations for the respective period.
Machinery and Equipment
Depreciation is provided over the estimated useful lives of the related assets using the straight-line method for financial statement purposes. The Company uses other depreciation methods (generally accelerated) for tax purposes where appropriate. The estimated useful lives for significant property and equipment categories are as follows:

Intangible Assets
Intangible assets consist primarily of capitalized equipment design documentation, software costs for equipment manufactured for sale, research, and development, as well as certain patent, trademark and license costs. Capitalized software and equipment design documentation development costs are recorded in accordance with Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC”) 985 “Software” with costs amortized using the straight-line method over a ten-year period. Patent, trademark and license costs are amortized using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives of 15 years. On an ongoing basis, management reviews the valuation of intangible assets to determine if there has been impairment by comparing the related assets’ carrying value to the undiscounted estimated future cash flows and/or operating income from related operations.
Table of Contents
The Company employs various core technologies across many different product families and applications in an effort to maximize the impact of our research and development costs and increase economies of scale and to leverage its technology-specific expertise across multiple product platforms. The technologies inherent in its laser equipment products include application documentation, proprietary and custom software developed for operation of its equipment, specific knowledge of supply chain and equipment design documentation, consisting of 3D engineering drawings, bills of materials, wiring diagrams, parts AutoCad drawings, software architecture documentation, etc. Intangible assets were received from related parties, ICT Investments, FONON Technologies Inc. and therefore transferred and booked by Laser Photonics Corp. at their historical cost.

Long-Lived Assets
Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. Impairment is measured by comparing the carrying value of the long-lived assets to the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to result from use of the assets and their ultimate disposition. In instances where impairment is determined to exist, the Company will write down the asset to its fair value based on the present value of estimated future cash flows.

Net Earnings/Loss per Share
BasicEarnings/Loss per share is calculated by dividing the Earnings/Loss attributable to stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares outstanding for the period. Diluted Earnings/Loss per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that shared in the earnings (loss) of the Company. Diluted Earnings/Loss per share is computed by dividing the Earnings/Lossavailable to stockholders by the weighted average number of shares outstanding for the period and dilutive potential shares outstanding unless such dilutive potential shares would result in anti-dilution.

Overview
We are a vertically integrated manufacturing Company for photonics based industrial products and solutions, primarily disruptive laser cleaning technologies and applications for the pharmaceutical industry. Our vertically integrated operations allow us to reduce development and advanced laser equipment manufacturing time, offer better prices, control quality and protect our proprietary knowhow and technology compared to other laser cleaning companies and companies with competing technologies.
Our principal executive offices are located at 1101 N Keller Rd, Orlando FL, 32810, and our telephone number is (407) 804 1000. Our website address is www.laserphotonics.com. The Company’s annual reports, quarterly reports, current reports on Form 8-K and amendments to such reports filed or furnished pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), and other information related to the Company, are available, free of charge, on that website as soon as we electronically file those documents with, or otherwise furnish them to, the SEC. The Company’s website and the information contained therein, or connected thereto, are not and are no intended to be incorporated into this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
We intend to continue to stay ahead of the technology curve by researching and developing cutting edge products and technologies for both large and small businesses. We view the small companies as an attractive market opportunity since they were previously unable to take advantage of laser processing equipment due to high prices, significant operating costs and the technical complexities of laser equipment. As a result, we are developing an array of laser cleaning equipment that we have named the CleanTech™ product line, which we believe represents a new generation of high-power laser cleaning systems applicable to numerous material processing operations.
Factors and Trends That Affect Our Operations and Financial Results
In reading our financial statements, you should be aware of the following factors and trends that our management believes are important in understanding our financial performance.
Supply Chain. We are experiencing increased lead times for certain parts and components purchased from third party suppliers; particularly electronic components. We, our customers and our suppliers, continue to face constraints related to supply chain and logistics, including availability of capacity, materials, air cargo space, sea containers and higher freight rates and import duties. Supply chain and logistics constraints are expected to continue for the foreseeable future and could impact on our ability to supply products and our customers’ demand for our product or readiness to accept deliveries. Notwithstanding these effects, we believe we can meet the near-term demand for our products, but the situation is fluid and subject to change.
Net sales. Our net sales have historically fluctuated from quarter to quarter. The increase or decrease in sales from a prior quarter can be affected by the timing of orders received from customers, the shipment, installation and acceptance of products at our customers’ facilities. Net sales can be affected by the time taken to qualify our products for use in new applications in the end markets that we serve. Our sales cycle varies substantially, ranging from a period of a few weeks to as long as one year or more, but is typically several months. The adoption of our products by a new customer or qualification in a new application can lead to an increase in net sales for a period which may then slow until we penetrate new markets or obtain new customers.
Our business depends substantially upon capital expenditures by end users, particularly by manufacturers using our products for materials processing, which includes general manufacturing, automotive including electric vehicles (EV), other transportation, aerospace, heavy industry, consumer, semiconductor, pharmaceutical, and electronics. Although applications within materials processing are broad, the capital equipment market in general is cyclical and historically has experienced sudden and severe downturns. For the foreseeable future, our operations will continue to depend upon capital expenditures by end users of materials processing equipment and will be subject to the broader fluctuations of capital equipment spending.
Gross margin. Our total gross margin in any period can be significantly affected by several factors, including net sales, production volumes, competitive factors, product mix, and by other factors such as changes in foreign exchange rates relative to the U.S. Dollar. Many of these factors are not under our control. The following are examples of factors affecting gross margin:
● As our products mature, we can experience additional competition which tends to decrease average selling prices and affects gross margin.
● Our gross margin can be significantly affected by product mix. Within each of our product categories, the gross margin is generally higher for devices with greater average power. These higher power products often have better performance, more difficult specifications to attain and fewer competing products in the marketplace.
Selling and Marketing expenses. In the first quarter of 2025, we invested in Selling and Marketing costs to support continued growth in the Company. As the secular shift to laser blasting technology matures, our sales growth becomes more susceptible to the cyclical trends typical of capital equipment manufacturers. Accordingly, our future management of and investments in selling and marketing expenses will also be influenced by these trends, although we may still invest in selling and marketing functions to support sales sustainability even in economic down cycles.
Research and development expenses. We plan to continue to invest in research and development to improve our existing laser blasting technology and equipment and develop new products, systems and applications. We believe that these investments will sustain our position as a leader in the laser industry and will support the development of new products that can address new markets and growth opportunities. The amount of research and development expenses we incur may vary from period to period.
Results of Operations
The Company had revenue of $2,291,231 in the three months ended March 31, 2025, as compared to revenue of $742,991 in March 31, 2024, which represents an increase of 108% in the revenue.
Gross profit for the three March 31, 2025, was $1,140,715 for a Gross margin of 49.8%, compared to $385,868 for a Gross Margin of 51.9% in the three months ending March 31, 2024.
Selling, general, and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses consist primarily of salaries and other personnel-related costs; professional fees; insurance costs; SEC filing, compliance, and other public Company costs; travel expenses; and other sales and marketing expenses; and excludes depreciation & amortization expenses. In the near term, we expect SG&A expenses to increase as we expand our sales and marketing efforts to support the planned growth of our business. In the long run, we expect SG&A expenses as a percent of sales to decline as our business grows.
For the three months ending March 31, 2025, we recorded total expenses of $2,712,289 as compared to the three months ending in March 31,2024 of $934,337. SG&A expenses for the three months ending March 31, 2025, are $900,034 as compared to the three months ending in March 31,2024 of $356,265. The significant increase in SG&A is primarily driven by comparative ramp up of costs in 2025 to establish our strategic plan to increase market reach and sales force as part of our Sales & Marketing Development and Investment plan as noted in our previous 10-Q’s in accordance with “Use of Proceeds” as stated in our most recent Form S-1 Registration Statement, coupled with higher personnel costs resulting from additional headcount, professional service fees, SEC compliance costs, bad debt expenses, etc.
Our net loss, for the three months ending March 31, 2025, was $ 1,680,723, as compared to net loss of $545,709 in the same period of 2024.

Our management will have to spend additional time on policies and procedures to make sure it is compliant with various regulatory requirements, especially that of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. This additional corporate governance required by management could limit the amount of time our management has to implement our business plan and may delay our anticipated growth plans.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.
Summary Financial Information – Non-GAAP EBITDA
(1,317,795
In addition to providing financial measurements based on generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”), we provide the following additional financial metrics that are not prepared in accordance with GAAP (non-GAAP): EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA. Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures, in addition to GAAP financial measures, to understand and compare operating results across accounting periods, for financial and operational decision making, for planning and forecasting purposes and to evaluate our financial performance. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures help us to identify underlying trends in our business that could otherwise be masked by the effect of certain expenses that we exclude in the calculations of the non-GAAP financial measures.
Accordingly, we believe that these non-GAAP financial measures reflect our ongoing business in a manner that allows for meaningful comparisons and analysis of trends in the business and provides useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our operating results, enhancing the overall understanding of our past performance and future prospects.
These non-GAAP financial measures do not replace the presentation of our GAAP financial results and should only be used as a supplement to, not as a substitute for, our financial results presented in accordance with GAAP. There are limitations in the use of non-GAAP measures, because they do not include all the expenses that must be included under GAAP and because they involve the exercise of judgment concerning exclusions of items from the comparable non-GAAP financial measure. In addition, other companies may use other non-GAAP measures to evaluate their performance, or may calculate non-GAAP measures differently, all of which could reduce the usefulness of our non-GAAP financial measures as tools for comparison.
We believe EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are helpful for investors to better understand our underlying business operations. The following table adjusts Net Income to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ending March 31, 2025, and 2024.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of March 31, 2025, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.
Pursuant to Item 305(e) of Regulation S-K (§ 229.305(e)), the Company is not required to provide the information required by this Item as it is a “smaller reporting Company,” as defined by Rule 229.10(f)(1).
We have not utilized any derivative financial instruments such as futures contracts, options and swaps, forward foreign exchange contracts or interest rate swaps and futures. We believe that adequate controls are in place to monitor any hedging activities. We do not have any borrowings and, consequently, we are not affected by changes in market interest rates. We do not currently have any sales or own assets and operate facilities in countries outside the United States and, consequently, we are not affected by foreign currency fluctuations or exchange rate changes. Overall, we believe that our exposure to interest rate risk and foreign currency exchange rate changes is not material to our financial condition or results of operations.
