Item 8. Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Shareholders and the Board of Directors of
MicroVision, Inc.
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of MicroVision, Inc. (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive loss, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2024, and the related notes and schedules (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years ended in the period December 31, 2024, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinion
These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“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 audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures to respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Critical Audit Matters
The critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments.
The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.
Valuation of Derivative Liability
As described in note 7, 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 fair value of the hybrid instrument is estimated using a binomial lattice model. The fair value of the host contract excluding embedded derivative features is estimated using a debt discounted cash flow model, which assumes that the contract is a debt instrument with only the option to redeem partial principal payments prior to maturity. The estimated fair value of the derivative liability was $14.6 million as of December 31, 2024.
We identified the valuation of derivative liability as a critical audit matter. Performing audit procedures to evaluate the reasonableness of the fair value estimates and underlying inputs and assumptions required especially challenging and subjective auditor judgment and an increased extent of effort, including the need to involve of our valuation professionals.
Addressing the matter involved performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence in connection with forming an overall opinion on the consolidated financial statements. Our audit procedures related to the matter included the following, among others:
| ● | Testing management’s process used in determining the estimated fair value of the derivative liability by: |
| ● | Involving our valuation professionals with specialized skills and knowledge who assisted in evaluating the valuation methodologies and the reasonableness of significant assumptions. |
| ● | Testing the mathematical accuracy of management’s calculations. |
| ● | Testing the completeness, accuracy and reliability of the underlying data used in the estimate, such as historical volatility, stock price, and daily trading volume. |
Impairment of Intangible Assets
As described in notes 2 and 8 to the consolidated financial statements, intangible assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable. Recoverability of these assets is measured by comparison of their carrying values to the projected undiscounted net cash flows associated with the related intangible assets or group of assets over their remaining lives. Measurement of an impairment loss for intangible assets is based on the difference between the fair value of the asset and its carrying value. The carrying value of intangible assets was $11.0 million as of December 31, 2024.
We identified the impairment assessment of intangible assets as a critical audit matter. Performing audit procedures to evaluate the significant assumptions used by management when developing the undiscounted cash flows to be generated by the assets required a high degree of auditor judgment, subjectivity and effort when performing and evaluating the results of those procedures.
Addressing the matter involved performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence in connection with forming an overall opinion on the consolidated financial statements. Our audit procedures related to the matter included the following, among others:
| ● | Testing management’s process for developing the estimated future undiscounted cash flows used in the impairment assessment. |
| ● | Evaluating the appropriateness of the undiscounted cash flows model. |
| ● | Testing the completeness and accuracy of the underlying data used in the model. |
| ● | Evaluating the reasonableness of the significant assumptions used by management related to estimated future undiscounted cash flows. |
| ● | Evaluating management’s ability to forecast cash flows by comparing actual results to management’s historical forecasts. |
