Based upon that evaluation, our CEO and CFO concluded that, as of December 31, 2023, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

(c)Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls. Because of inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements.

(d)Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. We completed the acquisition of Ibeo assets on January 31, 2023. As part of the asset acquisition, we are in the process of incorporating our controls and procedures with respect to MicroVision GmbH’s operations, and we will include internal controls with respect to their operations in our assessment of the effectiveness of our ICFR as of December 31, 2024.

To the Shareholders and the Board of Directors of

Opinion on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

We have audited Microvision Inc.’s (the “Company”) internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2023, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”). In our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2023, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by COSO.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”), the consolidated balance sheets of Microvision Inc. as of December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive loss, changes in shareholders’ equity (deficit) and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2023, and the related notes and schedule (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”) and our report dated February 29, 2024, expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements.

Basis for Opinion

The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting included in Item 9A. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audit also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

As discussed in Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting, in January 2023, the Company acquired certain assets of IBEO Automotives (Microvision GmbH). For the purposes of assessing internal control over financial reporting, management excluded Microvision GmbH, whose financial statements constitute approximately 10% of the Company’s consolidated total assets (excluding $18 million of intangible assets, which were integrated into the Company’s control environment) and approximately 5% of consolidated net loss as of and for the year ended December 31, 2023. Accordingly, our audit did not include the internal controls over the financial reporting of Microvision GmbH.

Definition and Limitations of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
