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 (“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 and nine months ended September 30, 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 September 30, 2025, four customers represented 19%,17%,11%, and 11%, of total product revenue andfour customers represented 39%,32%,16%, and 12%, of engineering services revenue. For the three months ended September 30, 2024, two customers represented 10%, each, of total product revenue andthree customers represented 50%,27%, and 19% of engineering services revenue.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, one customer represented 17% of total product revenue andfour customers represented 29%,25%,23%, and 11% of engineering services revenue. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, one customer represented 11% of total product revenue andtwo customers represented 71% and 17% of engineering services revenue.
As of September 30, 2025, four customers represented 25%,18%,16%, and 10% 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 doubt may exist surrounding the Company's ability to meet its obligations withinone year of the release of the financial statements.
The Company incurred net losses for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 of $23,658,106; $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 $13,234,835 for the nine months ended September 30, 2025; $23,739,372 for the year ended December 31, 2024; and $26,277,824 for the year ended December 31, 2023. As of September 30, 2025, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $391,181,056. The Company’s cash outflows for investing activities were $2,090,434 for the nine months ended September 30, 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 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 doubt include raising further capital and 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:
| ● | 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; |
| ● | Delaying or curtailing discretionary and non-essential capital expenditures not related to near-term product and manufacturing needs and reducing other investing activities for the remainder of our 2025 and 2026 fiscal years; |
| ● | 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 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” offering. Since May 2024, the Company has raised $20,363,120, net of broker expenses, including $5,550,599 and $9,640,449, respectively, in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, under this sales agreement. 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.
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 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 GAAP 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 asingle operating segment and, therefore, asingle 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, Total Compensation, General and Administrative, and Intangible Asset and Equity Investment Impairment. These segment items for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 are:

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.
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 atwelve (12) month assurance-type product warranty. In the case of certain OEM products and waveguide sales, some include a standard product warranty of up toeighteen (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 September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, there were $62,700 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 and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024:
| | | | | | | | | | | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|

Remaining Performance Obligations
As of September 30, 2025, the Company had $2,044,911 of remaining performance obligations undertwo current waveguide development projects, including initial product production, which represents the remainder of transaction prices totaling $3,750,000 under these development projects, 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 13% in 2025 and 87% across 2026 and 2027. Revenues earned less amounts invoiced at September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 totaled $430,089 and $673,498, respectively.
As of September 30, 2024, the Company had $2,161,768 of remaining performance obligations under a current waveguide development project, which represented the remainder of transaction prices totaling $3,500,000 under this development agreement, less revenue recognized under percentage of completion to date.
As of September 30, 2025, the Company had no material outstanding performance obligations related to product sales, other than its standard and extended product warranties.
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. 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 and nine months ended September 30, 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 September 30, 2025 and 2024, there were 10,664,321 and 10,653,332 common stock share equivalents potentially issuable from the exercise of stock options, vesting of Restricted Stock Units (“RSUs”) and Performance Stock Units (“PSUs”), and the conversion of preferred stock that could dilute basic earnings per share in the future.

On June 30, 2024, the Company decided to cease further funding of development activities with Atomistic SAS (“Atomistic”) under the license agreement dated December 16, 2022 among the Company, Atomistic, and Atomistic’s two principals (the “License Agreement”). The Company’s decision gave Atomistic the right under the License Agreement to terminate the Granted License (as defined under the License Agreement), which right Atomistic exercised on July 1, 2024. As a result of the termination of the Granted License, the Company determined that the technology license asset, with a net book value as of June 30, 2024 of $24,335,554, had been impaired as the Company no longer held exclusive licensing rights to the technology for its use.
Notwithstanding the termination of the Granted License, the Company will be entitled to certain License Royalties (as defined under the License Agreement) from Atomistic if Atomistic licenses the technology that was the subject of the Granted License.

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 upon the developments in these matters. A liability is recorded in the 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 individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
The Company is not currently party to, nor is its property subject to any material legal proceedings.
