Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
MicroVision, Inc. is committed to driving the global adoption of proprietary products, which leverage deterministic AI at the edge with the Company’s innovative perception and application software running on diverse lidar sensors. The Company’s solutions enable ADAS and autonomy features for customers in a wide range of industries including robotics, automated warehouse, agriculture, mining, military, and automotive. The Company’s deterministic AI at the edge software running on sensors enables intelligent autonomous, active safety, and automation systems which depend on secure, cost-effective and energy-efficient solutions. This software has been developed in close collaboration with automotive customers and the Company is now rapidly expanding with it into new industrial and commercial vehicle sectors.
With engineering teams based in Redmond, Washington and Hamburg, Germany, the Company develops and supplies integrated solutions built on the perception software stack, incorporating application software and processing data from differentiated sensor systems. The Company’s extensive experience in developing and productizing core lidar hardware and software components, along with expertise in edge computing, positions the Company as a valuable commercial partner capable of delivering high-value, low-power products.
Liquidity
The Company has incurred significant losses since inception. Operations to date have been funded primarily through the sale of common stock, convertible preferred stock, warrants, the issuance of convertible debt and, to a lesser extent, from development contract revenues, product sales, and licensing activities.
As of September 30, 2025, the Company had total liquidity of $99.5 million including $72.8 million in cash and cash equivalents and $26.7 million in short-term investment securities. In addition, the Company has approximately $46.2 million availability under its current at-the-market (“ATM”) facility as of September 30, 2025, subject to certain market conditions, such as trading prices and volumes. On October 23, 2024, the Company issued $45.0 million in senior secured convertible notes for gross proceeds of $41.4 million and has a remaining commitment pursuant to the convertible note facility of $30.0 million, subject to certain limitations (seeNote 6. Notes Payable and Derivative Liability). On February 4, 2025, the Company sold shares of common stock and warrants to purchase common stock for net proceeds of approximately $7.8 million (seeNote 7. Warrant Liability). Based on the current operating plan, the Company anticipates having sufficient cash and cash equivalents to fund operations for at least the next 12 months from the issuance of these condensed consolidated financial statements.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, after elimination of all intercompany balances and transactions. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“US GAAP”) and the requirements of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) for interim financial information. Certain information and disclosures normally included in consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with US GAAP have been condensed or omitted. Accordingly, these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2024. The information as of December 31, 2024 included in the condensed consolidated balance sheets was derived from those audited financial statements.
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the annual consolidated financial statements and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments, necessary for the fair statement of the Company’s financial information for the interim periods presented. The unaudited condensed consolidated results of operations for the interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2025 or for any other future annual or interim period.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts therein. The most significant estimates and assumptions relate to valuations of intangibles, derivatives, and warrants, revenue recognition, inventory valuation, valuation of share-based payments, income taxes, depreciable lives assessment and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Due to the inherent uncertainty involved, actual results reported in future periods could differ from those estimates.
Foreign Currency Translation
Foreign currency transaction gains and losses are a result of the effect of exchange rate changes on transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency. Realized gains and losses on those foreign currency transactions are included in determining net loss for the period of exchange and are recorded in other income in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.
Segment Information
The Company determines operating segments based on how the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) manages the business, makes operating decisions around the allocation of resources, and evaluates operating performance. The CODM is the Executive Management team. The Company has determined that it operates inone operating segment andone reportable segment, relating to the sale and servicing of lidar hardware and software, as the CODM regularly reviews financial information presented on a consolidated basis. Financial information regularly reviewed by the CODM includes revenue, income or loss from operations, and net income or loss.
Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to a concentration of credit risk are primarily cash, cash equivalents, and investment securities. As of September 30, 2025, cash and cash equivalents are comprised of operating checking accounts and short-term highly rated money market savings accounts. Short-term investments are comprised of highly rated corporate bonds and U.S. Treasury securities.
For the three months ended September 30, 2025, an automotive manufacturer and an automotive supplier accounted for $0.2 million and $0.1 million of total revenue, respectively, representing 80% and 12% of total revenue, respectively. For the same period in 2024, three customers accounted for $0.1 million, $0.1 million, and $0.1 million of total revenue, representing 65%,16%, and 11% of total revenue, respectively.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, a leading manufacturer of agricultural equipment, an automotive supplier, and an automotive manufacturer accounted for $0.5 million, $0.2 million, and $0.2 million of total revenue, respectively, representing 51%,20%, and 18% of total revenue, respectively. For the same period in 2024, three customers accounted for $1.7 million, $0.6 million, and $0.3 million of total revenue, representing 55%,20%, and 10% of total revenue, respectively.
As of September 30, 2025, accounts receivable related to these customers accounted for 86% of total accounts receivable, net of allowances on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.
Typically, a significant concentration of components and the products sold are manufactured and obtained from single or limited-source suppliers. The loss of any single or limited-source supplier, the failure of any of these suppliers to perform as expected, or the disruption in the supply chain of components from these suppliers could subject the Company to risks and uncertainties including, but not limited to, increased cost of sales, possible loss of revenues, or significant delays in product development or product deliveries, any of which could adversely affect the Company’s financial condition and operating results.
Warrant Liability
The Company accounts for warrants as either equity-classified or liability-classified instruments based on an assessment of the warrant’s specific terms and applicable authoritative guidance included in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity, and ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging. The assessment considers whether the warrants are freestanding financial instruments pursuant to ASC 480, whether the warrants meet the definition of a liability pursuant to ASC 480, and whether the warrants meet all of the requirements for equity classification under ASC 815. This assessment, which requires the use of professional judgment, is conducted at the time of warrant issuance and as of each subsequent reporting period end date while the warrants are outstanding.
Warrants that meet all of the criteria for equity classification are required to be recorded as a component of additional paid-in capital at the time of issuance, or when the conditions for equity classification are met, and are not remeasured. Warrants that do not meet the required criteria for equity classification are classified as liabilities. The Company adjusts such warrants to fair value at each reporting period until the warrants are exercised or expire. Changes in fair value are recognized in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In March 2024, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2024-01, Compensation: Stock Compensation (Topic 718). The amendments in this ASU clarify existing guidance related to profits interest and similar awards. ASU 2024-01 was adopted by the Company beginning January 1, 2025. The adoption of the new standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. The amendments in this update require disaggregated information about a reporting entity’s effective tax rate reconciliation as well as information on income taxes paid. ASU 2023-09 is effective for the Company for annual periods beginning January 1, 2025, with early adoption permitted. The ASU is expected to result in incremental disclosures to the Company’s financial statements.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40). The amendments in this ASU require additional disclosure of specified information about certain costs and expenses in the notes to the financial statements. ASU 2024-03 is effective for annual periods for the Company beginning January 1, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this ASU may have on its financial statement disclosures.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-04, Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20). The amendments in this ASU clarify the requirements for determining whether certain settlements of convertible debt instruments should be accounted for as an induced conversion. The amendments in this Update are effective for all entities for annual reporting periods beginning January 1, 2026, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. Early adoption is permitted for all entities that have adopted the amendments in ASU 2020-06. The ASU is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements or disclosures.
3. NET LOSS PER SHARE
Basic net loss per share is calculated using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per share is calculated using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding and the dilutive effect of all potentially dilutive securities, including common stock equivalents and convertible securities. As the effect of dilutive securities outstanding during the period is anti-dilutive, diluted net loss per share is equal to basic net loss per share.
The components of basic and diluted net loss per share are as follows (in thousands, except loss per share data):
| Three Months Ended · Nine Months Ended | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| September 30, | September 30, | |||
| 2025 | 2024 | 2025 | 2024 | |
| Numerator: | ||||
| Net loss available for common shareholders - basic and diluted | $(14,217) | $(15,517) | $(57,225) | $(65,760) |
| Denominator: | ||||
| Weighted-average common shares outstanding - basic and diluted | 295,461 | 213,004 | 262,235 | 206,164 |
| Net loss per share - basic and diluted | $(0.05) | $(0.07) | $(0.22) | $(0.32) |
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, the following securities from net loss per share have been excluded as the effect of including them would have been anti-dilutive:
| September 30, | September 30, | |
|---|---|---|
| (in millions) | 2025 | 2024 |
| Outstanding options exercisable | 0.7 | 0.7 |
| Nonvested restricted and performance stock units | 14.2 | 12.7 |
| Shares of common stock that may be issued through conversion of the derivative liability | 17.4 | - |
| Shares of common stock that may be issued through the exercise of warrants | 5.8 | - |

Contract Balances
Under Topic 606, the Company’s rights to consideration are presented separately depending on whether those rights are conditional or unconditional. Unconditional rights to consideration are included within accounts receivable, net of allowances in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.
Significant changes in the contract assets and the contract liabilities balances during the period are as follows (in thousands, except percentages):
| September 30, · December 31, | ||||

Contract Acquisition Costs
The Company is required to capitalize certain contract acquisition costs consisting primarily of commissions paid when contracts are signed. As the Company currently does not pay any commissions upon the signing of a contract, no commission cost has been incurred as of September 30, 2025.
Transaction Price Allocated to the Remaining Performance Obligations
The remaining balance of the contract liabilities was approximately $0.1 million as of September 30, 2025. The Company expects to recognize 100% of this revenue over the next 12 months.
5. INVESTMENT SECURITIES, AVAILABLE-FOR-SALE AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
Investment securities, available-for-sale is comprised of corporate and government debt securities. The principal markets for the debt securities are dealer markets which have a high level of price transparency. The market participants for debt securities are typically large money center banks and regional banks, brokers, dealers, pension funds, and other entities with debt investment portfolios.
Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. As a basis for considering such assumptions, the authoritative guidance establishes a three level fair value inputs hierarchy and requires an entity to maximize the use of observable valuation inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The Company uses market data, assumptions, and risks that market participants would use in measuring the fair value of the asset or liability, including the risks inherent in the inputs and the valuation techniques. The hierarchy is summarized below.
Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities at the measurement date that the reporting entity has the ability to access.
Level 2 - Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.
Level 3 - Unobservable inputs for which there is little or no market data, which requires the reporting entity to develop assumptions, which are significant to the measurement of the fair values.
The valuation inputs hierarchy classification for assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis are summarized below as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 (in thousands). These tables do not include cash held in money market savings accounts.

6. NOTES PAYABLE AND DERIVATIVE LIABILITY
Background
On October 14, 2024, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) for the purchase of senior secured convertible notes (the “Note”) with an institutional investor (the “Holder”). The principal amount for the initial note is $45.0 million (the “Initial Principal Amount”), with an option for the Company to issue additional principal in the amount of $30.0 million (the “Additional Principal Amount” and, together with the Initial Principal Amount, the “Principal Amount”) of convertible notes to the Holder, subject to certain limitations. On October 23, 2024, the Purchase Agreement closed and the Note was issued for net proceeds of approximately $38.1 million, inclusive of all discounts, fees, and expenses related to the transaction.
On December 30, 2024, pursuant to the terms of the Note, the Holder elected to convert $1.8 million of outstanding principal into 2,345,068 shares of the Company’s common stock.
On February 3, 2025, the Company entered into a Letter Agreement with the Holder related to the Note. As a result of the Letter Agreement, the Holder elected to early convert $8.8 million of outstanding principal into 11,725,337 shares of the Company’s common stock. Additionally, as a result of the Letter Agreement, the Holder agreed to defer $11.6 million of principal repayments toseven monthly payments of $1.7 million beginning on September 1, 2025 and concluding on March 1, 2026. The Letter Agreement represented a modification requiring extinguishment accounting in accordance with ASC 470. As a result of the modification, a realized loss on debt modification of $4.7 million and interest expense of $2.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 were recorded on the condensed consolidated statement of operations.
On September 2, 2025, the Company repaid $5.5 million principal in accordance with the Holder’s redemption election pursuant to the terms of the Note. Subsequent to the date of these financial statements, on October 1, 2025 and November 3, 2025, the Company repaid an additional $5.5 million principal on each date, resulting in $19.5 million remaining principal outstanding, inclusive of the 10% repayment premium.
Components
The Note is a convertible debt instrument with multiple redemption, conversion, and put features. Certain features qualify as embedded derivatives requiring bifurcation. Therefore, the bifurcated features are accounted for separately as a compound embedded derivative in accordance with ASC 815, “Derivatives and Hedging” and are included in the derivative liability on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The host contract, which represents the Note excluding the derivative liability, is accounted for as non-convertible debt under ASC 470, “Debt” and is included in notes payable, current and notes payable, net of current portion on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.
Notes Payable
Subsequent to the modification, the host contract is recorded at the total amount repayable at maturity of $36.0 million, less any unamortized debt discount. The debt discount is equal to the amount repayable at maturity, net of the initial fair value of the bifurcated derivative liability. There were no material qualifying debt issuance costs resulting from the modification.
Supplemental balance sheet information is as follows:
| September 30, | December 31, | |
|---|---|---|
| (in thousands) | 2025 | 2024 |
| Amount repayable at maturity | $30,525 | $47,575 |
| Unamortized debt discount | (1,562) | (12,021) |
| Unamortized issuance costs | - | (2,552) |
| Net carrying amount | $28,963 | $33,002 |
Interest expense related to the amortization of the debt discount and issuance costs was $2.2 million and $0.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and $7.9 million and $0.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Total interest expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 is comprised of the following components:
| Three Months Ended September 30, · Nine Months Ended September 30, | ||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|

| Other interest expense | (6) | (21) | (30) | (51) | ||
| Total interest expense | $(2,197) | $(21) | $(17,270) | $(51) | ||
The monthly effective interest rate implicit in the Note as of September 30, 2025 under the interest method was 2.34%.
Maturities of partial repayments, if elected by the Holder, are as follows as of September 30, 2025:
| (in thousands) | |
|---|---|
| Years Ended December 31, | Maturities |
| 2025 (remainder) | $16,500 |
| 2026 | 14,025 |
| Total partial repayments | $30,525 |
Derivative Liability
As a result of the modification, one embedded feature previously accounted for within the derivative liability no longer required bifurcation and was recombined with the host contract at a fair value of $0.2 million. Subsequent to the modification, the derivative liability was initially recorded at its fair value of $7.2 million as of the modification date of February 3, 2025. The derivative liability is subsequently remeasured and reported at fair value each reporting period, with the changes in fair value recorded as an unrealized gain or loss and recognized in earnings.
The fair value of derivatives not designated as hedging instruments as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 are as follows:
| September 30, | December 31, | |

| Unrealized gain on derivative liability | $1,059 | $ | - | $3,853 | $ | - |
Fair Value Measurements
The fair value of the derivative liability is determined utilizing a “with and without” method, in which the fair value is calculated as the difference in the fair value of the entire hybrid instrument and the fair value of the instrument excluding the bifurcated derivative features.
The valuation inputs hierarchy classification for liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis are summarized below as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 (in thousands).

7. WARRANT LIABILITY
On February 3, 2025, the Company entered into a new Securities Purchase Agreement (the “2025 Purchase Agreement”) with an institutional investor.

Amortization expense was $0.2 million and $0.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, and $0.7 million and $1.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
During the quarter ended June 30, 2024, management identified various factors related to the 2024 restructuring events (seeNote 14. Restructuring Charges) that collectively indicated that it is more-likely-than-not that the fair value of the Company’s Reference software intangible asset was less than its carrying amount as of June 30, 2024. As of June 30, 2024, prior to impairment, the fair value was $4.5 million. As a result, the Company performed an impairment assessment for intangibles in accordance with ASC 360,Property, Plant and Equipment. The June 30, 2024 impairment test indicated a decline in the carrying amount of the Reference software intangible asset and a reduction in the asset’s useful life, resulting in a non-cash impairment charge of $3.0 million, which is included in impairment loss on intangible assets on the condensed consolidated statement of operations. The fair value of the Reference software subsequent to impairment was $1.4 million and is included within intangible assets, net on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. There wasno impairment of intangible assets during the nine months ended September 30, 2025.

**9. SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION **
The Company issues share-based compensation to employees in the form of restricted stock units (RSUs), performance stock units (PSUs), and stock options. Share-based awards are accounted for by recognizing the fair value of share-based compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the service period of the award, net of estimated forfeitures. The fair value of RSUs and PSUs is determined by the closing price of common stock on the date of grant. The fair value of stock options is estimated on the grant date using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Changes in estimated inputs or using other option valuation methods may result in materially different option values and share-based compensation expense.
The following table summarizes the amount of share-based compensation expense by line item on the condensed consolidated statements of operations:
| Share-based compensation expense · Three Months Ended · Nine Months Ended | ||||
