As used in this Annual Report, the terms “we,” “us,” “our,” and the “Company” refer to Laser Photonics Corporation, a Delaware corporation, and its consolidated subsidiaries.

Company Overview

We were formed as a Wyoming corporation 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. (“CMS”), have now expanded the market for our laser products into the large, growing pharmaceutical manufacturing vertical, in what we believe is a recession-resistant sector with significant barriers to entry.

We are pioneering a new generation of laser blasting technologies focused on disrupting the sandblasting and abrasives blasting markets. We offer a full portfolio of integrated laser blasting solutions for corrosion control, rust removal, de-coating, pre-welding and post-welding, laser cleaning and surface conditioning. Our solutions span use cases throughout product lifecycles, from product fabrication to maintenance and repair, as well as aftermarket operations. Our laser blasting solutions are applicable in most industries dealing with materials processing, including automotive, aerospace, healthcare, consumer products, shipbuilding, heavy industry, machine manufacturing, nuclear maintenance and de-commissioning and surface coating.

Our vertically integrated operations allow us to reduce development and advanced laser equipment manufacturing time, offer better prices, control quality and protect our proprietary know-how and technology compared to other laser cleaning companies and companies with competing technologies.

We initiated our sales efforts in December 2019. For the year ended December 31, 2025, we generated sales of $8.3 million, compared to $3.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. We are strategically positioned to drive growth and innovation in the laser technology market by targeting three key customer segments: government entities, Fortune 1000 companies, and medium/small businesses. Each of these segments presents unique opportunities and challenges, and our business model is designed to cater specifically to the needs and growth potential within each category.

For government entities, we provide highly specialized laser solutions that meet stringent regulatory and performance standards. This segment benefits from our expertise in delivering reliable, durable, and effective laser systems for various applications, from defense and aerospace to public infrastructure projects. Working with government clients not only solidifies our reputation as a trusted provider of advanced laser technology but also paves the way for new contracts and collaborative projects. One of our current projects is the Laser Shield Anti-Drone System (“LSAD”), a joint development with our affiliate, Fonon Drone Shield Solutions, Inc., to create a laser defense system to serve as an immediate response defense system for addressing the threat of small-scale unmanned aerial systems in conflict zones and expeditionary locations. We successfully completed a test of the LSAD prototype at our Orlando facility.

Fortune 1000 companies represent another critical segment, where our laser technology can significantly enhance operational efficiency, precision, and productivity. By addressing the unique challenges of large-scale industrial applications, we position ourselves as an essential partner in the innovation strategies of these corporations. Our advanced laser solutions help these clients stay competitive and maintain high-quality standards, driving repeat business and fostering long-term partnerships.

Medium and small businesses constitute the third pivotal segment of our customer base. Recognizing the distinct needs and constraints of this market, we launched the Service Partner Network (“SPN”). This initiative is designed to empower medium and small businesses by providing them access to mobile demonstration units, enabling them to experience the advantages of our laser technology firsthand. The SPN serves a dual purpose: it facilitates immediate equipment sales and acts as a catalyst for demonstrating the practical benefits and capabilities of our products.

Through the SPN, we also support entrepreneurs looking to start their own mobile laser cleaning or rental service businesses. Our marketing team plays a crucial role in this ecosystem by generating and distributing leads to SPN members for a fee, thereby creating a continuous revenue stream. This collaborative approach not only bolsters the success of our SPN partners but also promotes sustained long-term revenue growth for us.

By strategically targeting these three customer segments and leveraging the SPN to enhance our market penetration and product visibility, we believe we are well-positioned for robust growth. Our comprehensive business model not only enhances customer engagement and satisfaction across diverse markets but also solidifies our standing as an innovative leader in the laser technology industry.

We market our products globally through our direct sales force which is located in the United States.

Growth Strategy

Our objective is to achieve a leadership position in our industry with a focus in growth technologies including laser welding, laser cutting, laser cleaning, semiconductor, 3-D printing, and anti-drone defense. The key elements of our growth strategy are:

Multi-Market and Multi-Product Approach. We intend to develop and manufacture laser systems for a variety of markets to reduce the financial impact that a downturn in any one market would have.

Accent on Developing Standard Systems for Specific Markets. We expect to increase sales through an industry-recognized expertise in clearly defined markets with substantial sales demand such as rust removal equipment for the shipbuilding industry, laser de-contamination equipment for the nuclear industry and laser blasting cabinets for the general manufacturing industry.

Broaden Customer Relationships. We expect to develop a global diversified customer base in a variety of industries. We seek to differentiate ourselves from our competitors through superior product pricing, performance and service. We believe that a global presence and investments in application engineering and support will create competitive advantages in serving multinational and local companies.

New Product Development. We intend to target new applications early in the development cycle and drive adoption by leveraging our strong customer relationships, engineering expertise and competitive production costs.

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. In addition to our attention to Fortune 1000 companies, we also 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 the laser equipment. As a result, we are developing a group of standardized laser cleaning equipment that we have named the CleanTech™ laser blaster family of equipment that we believe represents a new generation of high power laser cleaning and rust removal systems that will be affordable to more than a million small and mid-size companies.

Facilities

Our principal executive offices are located at 250 Technology Park, Lake Mary, Florida, 32746, to support our administrative, engineering and operational activities. This office serves as our headquarters and is intended to allow for future growth. See “Item 2. Properties” below.

Implications of Being an Emerging Growth Company

As a company with less than $1.235 billion in revenue during our most recently completed fiscal year, we qualify as an “emerging growth company” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, which we refer to as the Securities Act, as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, or the JOBS Act. As an emerging growth company, we may take advantage of specified reduced disclosure and other requirements that are otherwise applicable, in general, to public companies that are not emerging growth companies. These provisions include:

As a smaller reporting company, each of the foregoing exemptions is currently available to us. We may take advantage of these exemptions for up to five years following our initial public offering on September 29, 2022, or such earlier time that we are no longer an emerging growth company. We would cease to be an emerging growth company if we have more than $1.235 billion in annual revenues as of the end of a fiscal year, if we are deemed to be a large-accelerated filer under the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, or if we issue more than $1.0 billion of non-convertible debt over a three-year-period.

Notwithstanding the above, we are also currently a “smaller reporting company”, meaning that we are not an investment company, an asset-backed issuer, or a majority-owned subsidiary of a parent company that is not a smaller reporting company and have a public float of less than $75 million and annual revenues of less than $50 million during the most recently completed fiscal year. In the event that we are still considered a “smaller reporting company”, at such time as we cease being an “emerging growth company”, the disclosure we will be required to provide in our SEC filings will increase but will still be less than it would be if we were not considered either an “emerging growth company” or a “smaller reporting company”. Specifically, similar to “emerging growth companies”, “smaller reporting companies” are able to provide simplified executive compensation disclosures in their filings; are exempt from the provisions of Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the “Sarbanes-Oxley Act”) requiring that independent registered public accounting firms provide an attestation report on the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting; and have certain other decreased disclosure obligations in their SEC filings, including, among other things, only being required to provide two years of audited financial statements in annual reports.

Our Laser Cleaning Products

The current administration’s focus on fiscal responsibility and budget constraints has led to reduced spending on new equipment, increasing the need for maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) of existing assets. As a result, demand for cost-effective, high-performance solutions is rising across defense and industrial sectors.

Laser Photonics is strategically positioned to meet this need with our TAA-compliant line of laser solutions offered under the DefenceTech brand. Our “Made in America” industrial laser systems align with federal procurement priorities, ensuring U.S. agencies have access to cutting-edge, domestically manufactured technology for MRO applications. As one of few industrial laser cleaning equipment manufacturer meeting “Buy American” requirements, we are well-positioned to receive preferential consideration over foreign competitors in the laser cleaning systems market.

Diversified and Proprietary Technology Platform and Knowhow

We were able to secure through our affiliation with ICT Investments a diverse portfolio of know-how, trade secrets and proprietary technologies. We believe that we possess design documentation for the largest array of laser-based systems for material processing in North America.

Core Technologies Underlying Each Product

Fiber laser cleaning technology or laser ablation which we market under the Laser Blasting™ brand, is a proven, state-of-the-art, 21st Century replacement for hazardous 19th century abrasives blasting (or sandblasting). It is a non-contact, environmentally friendly process that removes surface coatings from metals, concrete and delicate substrates such as composites—with minimal impact on the base material. Laser Blasting works by aiming brief pulses of high-power laser energy (in the µs–ms range) at a surface to be prepared or cleaned of paint, rust, or other contaminants. The energy applied to the layer being removed doesn’t dissipate. Instead, it blasts off the substrate material being cleaned. Most or all of the material being removed is vaporized, resulting in a much cleaner process than other cleaning methods. Whatever removed material has not been vaporized may be suctioned away and filtered out of the air as particle dust.

We are recognized as a pioneer and an industry leader with our CleanTech™ Laser Blasting™ technology. Laser Blasting can replace sandblasting or dry ice blasting in nearly every industry and every application where an abrasive blasting is used. It is effective on glass, ceramics, metals, concrete, plastics and much more, and provides greater control and precision than possible with the legacy technologies it is designed to replace. LP portable Laser Blasting systems incorporate proprietary autofocusing C-Optics technology that allows for greater precision on uneven or contoured surfaces, even from handheld Laser Blasting systems. This innovation expands laser cleaning from the production floor to the field. Laser Blasting is effective on small parts and sensitive materials, as well as surfaces of ships, bridges, aircraft, pipelines, large vehicles, and trains, among others.

Our Product Platforms

Since our founding in 2019, and through IP received from ICT Investments, we have developed an extensive portfolio of products based on proprietary technologies that form the foundation of our laser blasting equipment manufacturing solutions, which are comprised of hardware, equipment design documentation, bills of materials, software, materials, and service practices.

Laser Blasting is cleaner to operate, more cost effective to own and safer for the worker and the environment. We believe that Laser Blasting is right on time as industry is increasingly coming under pressure to phase out abrasive blasting and chemical cleaning methods in compliance with health, environmental and safety regulations designed to protect laborers and the environment.

Since our founding in 2019, we have developed an extensive portfolio of proprietary equipment and technologies that formed the base for our broad product offering, starting from relatively simple handheld devices to fully automatic and operated by AI robotic systems.

Our diverse lines of laser cleaning equipment are used in a variety of industries to improve and promote programs to address significant concerns about the exposure of employees to toxic airborne materials to reduce the risk of lung cancer and silicosis triggered by inhalation of crystalline silica dust released from abrasive blasting. Laser cleaning uses photons emissions, thus eliminating the need for abrasive media, including silica. The chart below provides information on several industries to indicate the need for laser cleaning equipment and how our technology meets those industries’ requirements. This chart was developed by us in the last few months to allow our salespeople to identify the specific model of our CleanTech laser blasting equipment that matches target industries and the surface integrity parameters familiar to prospective customers. We want to demonstrate our capability to address the specific cleaning applications that such customers require. The industry terminology is explained in our footnotes to the chart.

The laser cleaning market is highly fragmented, with most competitors being small, privately held, or operating within limited geographic regions, specific industries, or niche applications. While our competitive landscape is diverse, it remains intensely competitive, shaped by rapid technological advancements, increasing customer demands, and downward pressure on average selling prices as newer, integrated technologies replace outdated systems.

Our most notable competitors include P-Laser and Clean-Lasersysteme GmbH (represented in the U.S. by Adapt Laser Systems), along with smaller players such as Laserax and 4JET. Some of these competitors are attempting to close the gap by increasing the output power of their fiber lasers to compete with our high-powered, industrial-grade solutions.

However, most competitors do not meet CDRH safety requirements for Class 4 laser systems, making them unlikely to be considered by many companies that prioritize workplace safety and regulatory compliance. At Laser Photonics, customer safety is our top priority. Our systems are designed and manufactured to fully comply with OSHA, FDA, and CDRH regulations, ensuring that companies receive not only cutting-edge performance but also the highest level of operational safety and reliability.

We also compete with end-users that produce laser technology, as well as with manufacturers of non-laser methods and tools, such as traditional abrasives blasting (referred to as sandblasting), non-laser welding, cutting dies, mechanical cutters, and plasma cutters in the materials processing market. Some of our competitors are larger, with considerably more financial, managerial, and technical resources, as well as more extensive sales, distribution, and service networks, and greater marketing capacity.

Our primary focus is to provide diversified industrial-grade laser-based cleaning machinery in a variety of markets. Each market has a different group of competitors subject to rapidly changing technologies and materials, a customer base with continuously changing requirements and geographical outsourcing challenges.

We believe that our future success is dependent on our flexibility to adapt to changes in the marketplace, expanding our existing products and services targeting application specific systems for each industry we serve. We continuously introduce new products and services on a timely and cost-effective basis identifying both standard and niche laser-systems opportunities enhancing our ability to penetrate new customers and new emerging markets.

Primary competitive factors in our markets include:

In the materials processing market, the competition is fragmented with a large number of competitors that are small or privately owned or compete with us on a limited geographic, industry, or application specific basis including Trumpf GmbH, Clean Laser GMBH, P-Laser. Advanced Laser Technology, Anilox Roll Cleaning Systems, General Lasertronics, IPGPhotonics, Laserax, and White Lion Dry Ice & Laser Cleaning Technology. We believe that none of our competitors compete in all the industries, applications, and geographical markets which we serve and that our products compete favorably with respect to their laser cleaning equipment.

Intellectual Property and License Rights

We believe that our success depends, in part, on our ability to maintain and protect our proprietary technology and to conduct our business without infringing on the proprietary rights of others.

We rely primarily on a combination of trademarks and trade secrets, as well as associate and third-party confidentiality agreements, to safeguard our intellectual property.

With respect to proprietary know-how that is not patentable and processes for which patents are difficult to enforce, we rely on, among other things, trade secret protection and confidentiality agreements to safeguard our interests. We believe that many elements of our laser system manufacturing process, including our unique materials sourcing, involve proprietary know-how, technology, or data that are not covered by patents or patent applications, including technical processes, equipment designs, algorithms, and procedures. We have taken security measures to protect these elements. All our research and development personnel will have to sign confidentiality and proprietary information agreements with us. These agreements address intellectual property protection issues and require our associates to assign to us all the inventions, designs, and technologies they develop during the course of employment with us. We also require our customers and business partners to enter into confidentiality agreements before we disclose any sensitive aspects of our modules, technology, or business plans.

Employees and Human Capital

As of December 31, 2025, we employed 94 full-time team members and had no part-time employees. Our human capital strategy focuses on identifying, recruiting, retaining, incentivizing, and effectively integrating both existing personnel and new talent, including employees, advisors, and consultants. These efforts are essential to support our continued growth and innovation across all areas of the business.

Government Regulation

Our current and contemplated activities and the products and processes that will result from such activities are subject to substantial government regulation, both in the United States and internationally.

Government Contracts and Regulations

Our U.S. Government business is heavily regulated. We contract with several U.S. Government agencies and entities, principally all branches of the U.S. military. We must comply with, and are subject to, laws and regulations governing the formation, administration, and performance of U.S. Government contracts. These laws and regulations, among other things:

The U.S. Government may terminate any of our government contracts and subcontracts either at its convenience or for default based on our performance. If a contract is terminated for convenience, we generally are protected by provisions covering reimbursement for costs incurred on the contract and profit on those costs. If a contract is terminated for default, we generally are entitled to payments for our work that has been accepted by the U.S. Government or other governments; however, the U.S. Government could make claims to reduce the contract value or recover its procurement costs and could assess other special penalties. For more information regarding the U.S. Government’s right to terminate our contracts and government contracting laws and regulations, see “Risk Factors”.

Radiation Control for Health and Safety Act

We are subject to the laser radiation safety regulations of the Radiation Control for Health and Safety Act administered by the National Center for Devices and Radiological Health, a branch of the United States Food and Drug Administration. Among other things, those regulations require laser manufacturers to file new product and annual reports, to maintain quality control and sales records, to perform product testing, to distribute appropriate operating manuals, to incorporate design and operating features in lasers sold to end-users and to certify and label each laser sold to end-users as one of four classes (based on the level of radiation from the laser that is accessible to users). Various warning labels must be affixed, and certain protective devices installed depending on the class of product. The National Center for Devices and Radiological Health is empowered to seek fines and other remedies for violations of regulatory requirements.

CE Marking

We are subject to certain regulations in Europe as administered by the European Commission. CE Marking is required for products marketed within the European Economic Area (EEA) and confirms that the manufacturer meets certain safety, health and environmental protection requirements administered by the European Union. Non-compliance with these regulations could result in warnings, penalties, or fines. We believe that we are currently in compliance with these regulations.

United States Food and Drug Administration

Certain products manufactured by us are integrated into systems by our customers that are subject to certain regulations administered by the United States Food and Drug Administration. We must comply with certain quality control measurements for our products to be effectively used in our customers’ end products. Non-compliance with quality control measurements could result in loss of business with our customers, fines and penalties.
