Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

1. Basis of Presentation

References in this document to the “Company,” “LightPath,” “we,” “us,” or “our” are intended to mean LightPath Technologies, Inc., individually, or as the context requires, collectively with its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis.

These unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of Article 8 of Regulation S-X promulgated under the Exchange Act and, therefore, do not include all information and footnotes necessary for a fair presentation of financial position, results of operations, and cash flows in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). These unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with our Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes, included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025, filed with the SEC. Unless otherwise stated, references to particular years or quarters refer to our fiscal years ended June 30 and the associated quarters of those fiscal years.

These Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are unaudited, but include all adjustments, including normal recurring adjustments, which, in the opinion of management, are necessary to present fairly our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented. The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of June 30, 2025 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information and notes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. Results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year as a whole. The unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

2. Significant Accounting Policies

Our significant accounting policies are provided in Note 2,Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, in the Consolidated Financial Statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025. There have been no material changes to our significant accounting policies during the three months ended September 30, 2025, from those disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025.

Use of Estimates

Management makes estimates and assumptions during the preparation of our unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements that affect amounts reported in the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes. Such estimates and assumptions could change in the future as more information becomes available, which, in turn, could impact the amounts reported and disclosed herein.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

We account for financial instruments in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” (“ASC 820”), which provides a framework for measuring fair value and disclosure requirements for fair value measurements of assets and liabilities. ASC 820 defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. ASC 820 also establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The standard describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 - Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are either directly or indirectly observable.

Level 3 - Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing.

Fair value estimates discussed herein are based upon certain market assumptions and pertinent information available to management.

We valued certain financial instruments issued in connection with the acquisition of G5 Infrared (as defined below) using Level 3 fair value measurements, including warrants, Series G Convertible Preferred Stock (as defined below) and the Acquisition Notes (as defined below).

In connection with the acquisition of G5 Infrared, the Company also valued the earnout liability and the intangible assets acquired using Level 3 fair value methods. See Note 3,Acquisition of G5 Infrared, to these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

Other than as disclosed above, the Company does not have any other financial or non-financial assets or liabilities that would be characterized as Level 1, Level 2 or Level 3 instruments.

3. Acquisition of G5 Infrared

In February 2025, the Company acquired G5 Infrared LLC, a New Hampshire limited liability company (“G5 Infrared”), pursuant to a Membership Interest Purchase Agreement (the “G5 MIPA”) by and among the Company, G5 Infrared, the members of G5 Infrared (collectively, the “Sellers”), and Kenneth R. Greenslade, solely in his capacity as Sellers’ Representative. The Company has acquired from the Sellers all of the issued and outstanding membership interests of G5 Infrared, which transaction closed on February 18, 2025 (the “G5 Acquisition Date”).

Net assets and results of operations of G5 Infrared are reflected in our financial results commencing on the G5 Acquisition Date. Revenue generated by G5 Infrared is included in our infrared and assemblies and modules product groups.

We accounted for the acquisition of G5 Infrared using the acquisition method of accounting, which required us to measure identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the acquiree at their fair values as of the G5 Acquisition Date, with the excess of the consideration transferred over those fair values recorded as goodwill.

The fair value of the aggregate consideration was approximately $27.1 million which consisted of (i) $20.3 million in cash, (ii)1,972,501 shares of the Company’s Class A common stock, $0.01 par value (“Class A Common Stock”) (at a value of $2.47 per share, which was the closing price on the G5 Acquisition Date), and (iii) potential earnout consideration paid annually in fiscal years 2026 and 2027 subject to achievement of certain revenue and EBITDA targets set forth in the G5 MIPA. As of the G5 Acquisition Date, the fair value of consideration transferred consisted of the following:

DescriptionFebruary 18, 2025
Cash consideration$20,250,000
Net working capital adjustment(423,871)
Equity portion of consideration4,872,066
Earnout portion of consideration3,536,471
Revenue clawback(1,104,471)
Fair value of consideration transferred$27,130,195

The fair value of the equity portion of the consideration was determined by multiplying the number of shares issued,1,972,501, by the fair value of the Class A Common Stock on the G5 Acquisition Date, which was $2.47. The initial cash consideration at closing was subject to a net working capital adjustment, which was settled in June 2025. The G5 MIPA also included a provision for a clawback amount if G5 Infrared’s actual revenue for the 2024 calendar year was less than $17.3 million. This clawback amount was settled in June 2025 and is reflected in the determination of the purchase price.

Earnout payments of an aggregate of up to $23.0 million of additional consideration may be paid annually in fiscal years 2026 and 2027 subject to achievement of certain minimum EBITDA and revenue targets for the one and two-year periods beginning on the first full calendar month commencing after the G5 Acquisition Date, as set forth in the G5 MIPA. If the targets are achieved during the respective periods, LightPath will(i) issue an aggregate number of shares of Class A Common Stock equal to 30% of the earnout payment divided by the average close price for the ten trading days immediately prior to the first anniversary of the earnout commencement date, as defined in the G5 MIPA, and (ii) pay additional cash consideration in an amount equal to 70% of the earnout payment, in each case to the former G5 Infrared members. The earnout is considered contingent consideration and is accounted for as a liability initially measured at fair value, with changes during each reporting period recognized in earnings. The portion of the earnout that will be settled in stock will also be accounted for as a liability since the achievement of targets adjusts the number of shares to be issued at settlement based on a variable other than the Company’s Class A Common Stock, and therefore it does not meet the criteria in ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity. The fair value of the earnout in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheet is calculated using a Monte Carlo valuation method, which involves assumptions of revenue and EBITDA forecasts, discount rates and revenue volatility. Significant increases or decreases in any of those assumptions in isolation could result in a significantly higher or lower fair value measurement. The earnout liability is subject to fair value measurement each reporting period. As of September 30, 2025, the earnout liability was adjusted to $6.2 million, an increase of $1.3 million from June 30, 2025, which is included in the “Change in fair value of acquisition liabilities” in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income (Loss).

The following table summarizes the preliminary allocation of the fair value of consideration transferred to assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the G5 Acquisition Date and the adjustments recognized during the measurement period:

Description · Preliminary as of March 31, 2025 · Measurement Period Adjustments, Net · Final as of June 30, 2025
Assets:

Deferred tax liabilities, noncurrent1,174,650(1,037,668)136,982
Operating lease liabilities, noncurrent242,620-242,620
Total liabilities assumed$4,003,669$(1,037,668)$2,966,001
Net assets acquired$27,623,077$(492,882)$27,130,195

Measurement period adjustments include fair value adjustments during the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2025, primarily related to refined assumptions in the valuation of the earnout consideration, and intangible assets such as backlog, customer relationships and know-how intangible assets. Deferred tax liabilities were adjusted for the revised intangible asset values, and for the refined tax rate apportionment calculation. The net impact of the aforementioned adjustments resulted in an increase to goodwill. There were no further adjustments during the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2025.

Intangible assets – All intangible assets acquired in the acquisition of G5 Infrared are subject to amortization. The fair value of identifiable intangible assets acquired as of the G5 Acquisition Date is as follows:

Intangible AssetTotalUseful Lives(Years)
Backlog$361,0001
Know-how4,801,00010
Tradename3,450,00015
Customer relationships5,140,00015
Total$13,752,000

The fair value of intangible assets is estimated using the multi-period excess earnings approach for acquired customer relationships and the relief from royalty method for the acquired trade names and know-how. All of these level 3 fair value methods are income-based valuation approaches, which require judgment to estimate appropriate discount rates, revenue forecasts, useful lives, royalty rates related to the trade names and know-how intangible assets, and profitability assumptions related to customer relationships. The acquired intangible assets are not expected to be deductible for New Hampshire state income tax purposes, which resulted in a deferred tax liability of $0.1 million.

Goodwill – The $7.0 million of goodwill recognized is attributable to G5 Infrared’s market presence, the assembled workforce and established operating infrastructure. The acquired goodwill is expected to be deductible for Federal income tax purposes. See Note 8,Goodwill and Intangible Assets, in these Notes to these unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.

Unaudited supplemental pro forma information

The following table presents unaudited pro forma financial results of the operations acquired with G5 Infrared. The pro forma results include adjustments to remove costs directly attributable to the acquisition, such as transaction-related costs. The pro forma results were prepared as if the acquisition was completed on the first day of our fiscal 2025, July 1, 2024. The pro forma results do not include any integration synergies and are not necessarily indicative of our results of operations that actually would have been obtained had the acquisition of G5 Infrared been completed for the period presented, or which may be realized in the future.

Acquisition Financing

In conjunction with the financing of the acquisition of G5 Infrared, the Company designated a new series of preferred stock, “Series G Convertible Preferred Stock”, which is convertible into shares of Class A Common Stock. Concurrent with the entry into the G5 MIPA on February 13, 2025, we entered into (i) a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”) by and among the Company and North Run Capital, AIGH Investment Partners, LP, WVP Emerging Manager Offshore Fund LLC, the Lytton-Kambara Foundation and Alice W. Lytton Family LLC (collectively, the “Series G Purchasers”), (ii) a Class A Common Securities Purchase Agreement by and between the Company and Lytton-Kambara Foundation (the “Class A Purchaser”), and (iii)two senior secured promissory notes in an aggregate principal amount of $5.2 million (the “Acquisition Notes”) for total proceeds of approximately $32.2 million, inclusive of the conversion of the bridge promissory note (the “Bridge Note”) (see Note 13, Loans Payable), and before deducting offering expenses of $2.2 million incurred by the Company, which was used to fund, in part, the cash consideration payable in connection with the acquisition of G5 Infrared. Pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Series G Purchasers purchased from the Company (i) an aggregate of approximately 24,956 shares of Series G Convertible Preferred Stock, (ii) warrants to purchase an aggregate of 4,352,774 shares of Class A Common Stock, with an exercise price of $2.58 per share (the “Series G Purchasers Warrants”), and (iii) the Acquisition Notes, which are convertible into shares of Series G Convertible Preferred Stock limited to failure to achieve a certain EBITDA threshold (see Note 13,Loans Payable). The Securities Purchase Agreement closed on February 18, 2025.

4. Acquisition of Visimid Technologies

In July 2023, the Company acquired Liebert Consulting LLC, dba Visimid Technologies (“Visimid”), pursuant to a Membership Interest Purchase Agreement dated as of July 25, 2023 (the “Visimid Acquisition Date”).

The Company’s unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements reflect the financial results of Visimid beginning on the Visimid Acquisition Date. The purchase price included $1 million in cash, $1,550,000 of restricted stock, $150,000 of assumed bank debt, and an earnout which is contingent upon the award and completion of a specific customer contract. Of the restricted stock payable as partof the purchase price, $150,000 (81,610 shares) was issued at closing, with the balance issued in four equal installments of $350,000 each, on January 1, 2024, July 1, 2024, January 1, 2025 and July 1, 2025. The number of shares was based on the average closing price of the Class A Common Stock, as reported by Bloomberg, for the five trading days prior to each stock issuance. For the January 1, 2024 installment,267,176 shares were issued; for the July 1, 2024 installment,279,553 shares were issued; for the January 1, 2025 installment,102,700 shares were issued; and for the July 1, 2025 installment,112,323 shares were issued, which was the final equity installment.

The total purchase price, net of cash acquired and including the estimated potential earnout, is approximately $2.7 million, based on present values as of the Visimid Acquisition Date. Of this amount, $600,000 was paid at closing, cash installments of $150,000, $125,000 and $125,000 were paid in October 2023, January 2024 and September 2024, respectively, per the terms of the purchase agreement. The balance of the estimated potential earnout, was accrued and is included in Accrued liabilities in the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of September 30, 2025.

5. Revenue

Product Revenue

We are a manufacturer of infrared imaging cameras, optical assemblies, optical components and infrared materials. Optical components include precision molded glass aspheric optics, molded and diamond-turned infrared aspheric lenses, and other optical elements produced using other fabrication techniques. We design, develop, manufacture, and distribute optical systems, assemblies and components utilizing advanced optical manufacturing processes, multidisciplinary engineering and manufacturing technologies, and assembly and integration services. We also provide engineering services and perform research and development for optical solutions for a wide range of optics markets.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue is generally recognized upon transfer of control, including the risks and rewards of ownership, of products or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to receive in exchange for those products or services. We generally bear all costs, risk of loss, or damage and retain title to the goods up to the point of transfer of control of products to customers. Shipping and handling costs are included in the cost of goods sold. We present revenue net of sales taxes and any similar assessments.

Customary payment terms are granted to customers, based on credit evaluations. We currently do not have any contracts where revenue is recognized, but the customer payment is contingent on a future event. We record deferred revenue when cash payments are received or due in advance of revenue recognition. Deferred revenue was $1.0 million and $0.5 million as of September 30, 2025 and June 30, 2025, respectively, and is included in accrued liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Nature of Products

Revenue from the sale of infrared cameras, optical components and assemblies is recognized upon transfer of control, including the risks and rewards of ownership, to the customer. The performance obligations for the sale of optical components and assemblies are satisfied at a point in time, generally upon shipment. Product development agreements for engineering services are generally short-term in nature, with revenue recognized upon satisfaction of the performance obligation, and transfer of control of the agreed-upon deliverable. Visimid has one longer-term order with a defense customer which includes both product development and hardware deliverables where similar revenue recognition criteria are applied.

We categorize our products into four product groups: infrared components, visible components, assemblies and modules, and engineering services.

Revenue by product group for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 was as follows:

Three Months EndedSeptember 30,

No inventory items were written off against the allowance for obsolescence during the three months ended September 30, 2025.

The value of tooling in raw materials, net of the related allowance for obsolescence, was approximately $0.8 million and $1.1 million as of September 30, 2025 and June 30, 2025, respectively.

7. Property and Equipment

9. Income Taxes

A summary of our total income tax expense and effective income tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 is as follows:

Three Months Ended September 30,
20252024
Loss before income taxes$(2,811,732)$(1,607,109)
Income tax provision$81,270$15,636
Effective income tax rate-3%-1%

The difference between our effective tax rates in the periods presented above and the federal statutory rate is due to the mix of taxable income and losses generated in our various tax jurisdictions, which include the United States (the “U.S.”), the People’s Republic of China, and the Republic of Latvia. For the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, income tax expense was primarily related to income taxes from our operations in China and Chinese withholding taxes on payments from our wholly-owned subsidiary, LightPath Optical Instrumentation (Zhenjiang) Co., Ltd. (“LPOIZ”), to LightPath for administrative services rendered.

We record net deferred tax assets to the extent we believe it is more likely than not that some portion or all of these assets will be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income. We consider the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. As of September 30, 2025 and June 30, 2025, our net deferred tax assets are related to the U.S. jurisdiction and we have provided a valuation allowance to reduce the deferred tax assets to the net amount we estimate is more-likely-than-not to be realized. Our net deferred tax assets as of September 30, 2025 and June 30, 2025 consist primarily of federal and state tax credits with indefinite carryover periods. The net deferred tax liabilities as of September 30, 2025 and June 30, 2025 are related to LPOIZ, primarily resulting from timing differences related to accelerated depreciation on fixed assets.

U.S. Federal and State Income Taxes

Our U.S. federal and state statutory income tax rate is estimated to be 25.5%. Based on our current assessment of the valuation allowance position on our net deferred tax assets, no additional tax expense or benefit is expected to be recorded on pre-tax income or losses generated in the U.S.

On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act was enacted (“OBBBA”), introducing significant and wide-ranging changes to the U.S. federal tax system. Significant components include restoration of 100% accelerated tax depreciation on qualifying property including expansion to cover qualified production property. Another major aspect includes the return to immediate expensing of domestic research and experimental expenditures (“R&E”) which in some cases may include retroactive application back to 2021 for businesses with gross receipts of less than $31 million or accelerated tax deductions of R&E that was previously capitalized for larger businesses. The legislation also reinstates EBITDA-based interest deductions for tax purposes and makes several business tax incentives permanent. Less favorable business provisions include limitations on tax deductions for charitable contributions.

The Company continues to assess the potential impact of this legislation on its future financial position, results of operations, and cash flows. In accordance with GAAP, the effects will be recognized in the period of enactment. While we do not currently anticipate that the provisions of OBBBA will have a material impact, we are currently evaluating any such impacts on a go-forward basis.

Income Tax Law of the People’s Republic of China

Our Chinese subsidiary, LPOIZ, is governed by the Income Tax Law of the People’s Republic of China. As of September 30, 2025, LPOIZ was subject to a statutory income tax rate of 15%. The net deferred tax liabilities included in these unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of September 30, 2025 and June 30, 2025 are related to LPOIZ, primarily related to timing differences related to accelerated depreciation on fixed assets.

The Company routinely declares intercompany dividends to remit a portion of the earnings of its foreign subsidiaries to the U.S. parent company. The Company also intends to reinvest a portion of the earnings generated by its foreign subsidiaries. The Company accrues withholding taxes on the portion of LPOIZ’s earnings that it intends to repatriate. Accrued and unpaid withholding taxes were approximately $32,000 as of both September 30, 2025 and June 30, 2025. Other than these withholding taxes, these intercompany dividends have no impact on the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Law of Corporate Income Tax of Latvia

Our Latvian subsidiary, ISP Optics Latvia, SIA (“ISP Latvia”), is governed by the Law of Corporate Income Tax of Latvia. Effective January 1, 2018, the Republic of Latvia enacted tax reform with the following key provisions: (i) corporations are not subject to income tax, but are instead subject to a distribution tax on distributed profits (or deemed distributions, as defined) and (ii) the rate of tax was changed to 20%; however, distribution amounts are first divided by 0.8 to arrive at the profit before tax amount, resulting in an effective tax rate of 25%. As a transitional measure, distributions of earnings prior to January 1, 2018 were not subject to tax if declared prior to December 31, 2019. ISP Latvia declared an intercompany dividend to be paid to ISP Optics Corporation (“ISP”), its U.S. parent company, for the full amount of earnings accumulated prior to January 1, 2018. Distributions of this dividend have been fully settled and we currently do not intend to distribute any earnings generated after January 1, 2018. If, in the future, we change such intention, we will accrue distribution taxes, if any, as profits are generated.

10. Stock-Based Compensation

Our directors, officers, and key employees are granted stock-based compensation through our 2002 Amended and Restated Omnibus Incentive Plan, as amended (the “2002 Omnibus Plan”), through October 2018 and after that date, through our 2018 Stock and Incentive Compensation Plan (the “2018 SICP”). Such stock-based compensation may include, among other things, incentive stock options, non-qualified stock options, restricted stock awards (“RSAs”) and restricted stock units (“RSUs”). The 2018 SICP is administered by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. To date, our stockholders approved an aggregate of 11,215,625 shares of our Class A Common Stock for issuance pursuant to awards granted under the 2002 Omnibus Plan or SICP. As of September 30, 2025,4,158,204 shares of Class A Common Stock were authorized and available for issuance pursuant to awards granted under the 2018 SICP. The Company’s executive officers are eligible to earn incentive compensation consisting of equity-based awards, as well as cash bonuses, based on the achievement of certain individual and/or Company performance goals set by the Compensation Committee.

Stock-based compensation expense is based primarily on the fair value of the award as of the grant date and is recognized as an expense over the requisite service period.

The following table shows total stock-based compensation expense for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, the majority of which is included in selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses in these unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss):

Three Months Ended September 30,
20252024
Stock options$50,607$146,979
RSAs63,18610,809
RSUs242,829106,687
Total$356,622$264,475

We also adopted the LightPath Technologies, Inc. Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “2014 ESPP”). The 2014 ESPP permits employees to purchase Class A Common Stock through payroll deductions, subject to certain limitations. The discount for the three months ended September 30, 2024 was $1,100, included in SG&A expenses in these unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss), which represents the value of the 10% discount given to the employees purchasing stock under the 2014 ESPP. The 2014 ESPP expired in January 2025. A new Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“2025 ESPP”) was approved by the stockholders on June 16, 2025 with the first offering period beginning July 1, 2025. The first purchase of shares under the 2025 ESPP will occur immediately after the offering period ends December 31, 2025.

Grant Date Fair Values and Underlying Assumptions; Contractual Terms

We estimate the fair value of each stock option as of the date of grant, using the Black-Scholes-Merton pricing model. The fair value of 2014 ESPP and 2025 ESPP shares is the amount of the discount the employee obtains at the date of the purchase transaction.

Most stock options granted vest ratably over two to four years and are generally exercisable for ten years. The assumed forfeiture rates used in calculating the fair value of RSA and RSU grants was 0%, and the assumed forfeiture rates used in calculating the fair value of options for performance and service conditions were 20% for each of the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024. The volatility rate and expected term are based on seven-year historical trends in Class A Common Stock closing prices and actual forfeitures. The interest rate used is the U.S. Treasury interest rate for constant maturities.

The Company estimated the fair value of each stock award as of the date of grant using the following assumptions:

Weighted-average expected volatility74.0%
Dividend yields0%
Weighted-average risk-free interest rate4.05%
Weighted-average expected term, in years7.50

No stock options were granted during the three months ended September 30, 2024.

Restricted Stock Awards

RSAs are granted primarily to our executive officers, employees and consultants, and typically vest over a one to three year period from the date of grant, although some may vest immediately upon grant. The stock underlying RSAs is issued upon vesting.

Restricted Stock Units

RSUs are granted primarily to our directors, although RSU awards may also be made to executive officers, employees and consultants. RSUs typically vest over a one to four year period from the date of grant, although some may vest immediately upon grant.

11. Earnings (Loss) Per Share

Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted-average number of shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding during each period presented. The computation of diluted earnings (loss) per share further assumes the potential dilutive effect of potential Class A Common Stock using the treasury-stock method and if-converted method, as applicable. During periods in which the average market price of the Company's common stock is above the applicable conversion price of the Company's convertible notes, the impact of conversion would be dilutive and such dilutive effect is reflected in diluted EPS. As a result, in periods where the average market price of the Company's common stock is above the conversion price, under the if-converted method, the Company calculates the number of shares issuable under the terms of the convertible notes based on the average market price of the stock during the period, and includes that number in the total diluted shares outstanding for the period. The Series G Purchasers Warrants and the Series G Convertible Preferred Stock are participating securities as the holders of such instruments participate in the event a dividend is paid on the Company’s common stock, however the holders do not have a contractual obligation to share in the Company’s losses. As such, losses are attributed entirely to common stockholders. The computations for basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share of Class A Common Stock are described in the following table:

12. Leases

Our leases primarily consist of operating leases related to our facilities located in Orlando, Florida; Plano, Texas; Hudson, New Hampshire; Riga, Latvia; and Zhenjiang, China, and finance leases related to certain equipment located in Orlando, Florida and Riga, Latvia. The operating leases for facilities are non-cancelable operating leases, with terms at various times through 2034. We typically include options to renew (or terminate) in our lease term, and as part of our right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and lease liabilities, when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise such options. We currently have fourteen finance lease agreements entered into during fiscal years 2023, 2024 and 2025 with terms ranging from three to five years. The finance leases are for computer and manufacturing equipment.

Our operating lease ROU assets and the related lease liabilities are initially measured at the present value of future lease payments over the lease term. One of our operating leases includes renewal options, which were not included in the measurement of the operating lease ROU assets and related lease liabilities. The lease on the premises comprising our primary facility in Orlando, Florida (the “Orlando Facility”) was amended in April 2021, and again in September 2021, to expand the space. The lease term was extended and will expire on March 31, 2034.

Our wholly-owned subsidiary, G5 Infrared, has a lease agreement for a manufacturing and office facility in Hudson, New Hampshire, which expires November 30, 2026. The Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Visimid, has a lease agreement for a manufacturing and office facility in Plano, Texas, which expires October 31, 2026. On July 7, 2025, Visimid entered into a lease agreement for another manufacturing and office facility in Plano, Texas, which commenced September 1, 2025 for a five-year term. The existing facility will be relocated to this larger facility.

Our wholly-owned subsidiary, LPOIZ, has a lease agreement for a manufacturing and office facility in Zhenjiang, China, which expires December 31, 2027. ISP’s wholly-owned subsidiary, ISP Latvia, has two lease agreements for a manufacturing and office facility in Riga, Latvia, which leases expire December 31, 2030.

13. Loans Payable

As of September 30, 2025, loans payable consisted of two equipment loans and the Acquisition Notes, as defined in Note 3,Acquisition of G5 Infrared.

Acquisition Notes

On February 18, 2025, in connection with the acquisition of G5 Infrared, we executed and delivered the Acquisition Notes, effective as of the G5 Acquisition Date. The Acquisition Notes accrue interest at the rate between 10-12% per annum (12% as of September 30, 2025), based on the ratio of indebtedness to EBITDA of the Company, unless an event of default (as defined in the Acquisition Notes) occurs, at which time the Acquisition Notes would accrue interest at 15% per annum. We determined the embedded features related to the payment of variable interest and upon an event of default are clearly and closely related to the Acquisition Notes, and are therefore not bifurcated from the Acquisition Notes. At September 30, 2025, the net carrying value of the convertible promissory notes is $4.7 million, including unamortized debt discount and issuance costs of $0.5 million, and had an effective interest rate of 5.7%. The estimated fair value (Level 3) of the convertible promissory notes approximates its book value as of September 30, 2025.

The Acquisition Notes will mature on February 18, 2027, the second anniversary of the issuance date.

The Acquisition Notes will automatically convert into shares of Series G Convertible Preferred Stock, which are in turn convertible into shares of Class A Common Stock (as converted, the “Conversion Shares”), if the EBITDA reported by the Company for the calendar year ending December 31, 2025, is less than approximately $4.9 million (the “Automatic Note Conversion”). We determined that the Automatic Note Conversion did not require bifurcation from the Acquisition Notes as the Automatic Note Conversion is (i) indexed to the Company’s own stock, (ii) settled in shares instead of cash, and (iii) only exercisable into a fixed number of shares at a fixed exercise price of $1,000 per share once it is triggered to convert and the conversion price can only be adjusted for standard antidilution provisions.

All or part of the Acquisition Notes may, unless converted under the Automatic Note Conversion, be redeemed by the Company prior to the maturity date at a redemption price equal to the portion of principal so redeemed plus all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, provided that if the funds used for redemption were not generated internally by Company operations, the redemption amount will be multiplied by 102%. In addition, following an event of default or upon a change of control, the purchaser may require the Company to redeem all or any portion of the Acquisition Notes. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, upon any bankruptcy event of default, the Company will immediately pay the holder an amount in cash representing all outstanding principal and accrued and unpaid interest. The Company determined that these redemption features did not require bifurcation from the Acquisition Notes as these are clearly and closely related to the Acquisition Notes.

The Acquisition Notes include customary affirmative and negative covenants and events of default. Additionally, the Acquisition Notes include financial covenants requiring the Company to maintain a Total Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Acquisition Notes) of not greater than 4.00:1:00 and a Fixed Charge Covered Ratio (as defined in the Acquisition Notes) of greater than 1.20:1.00 for each fiscal quarter beginning with the fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2025.

Bridge Promissory Note

On August 6, 2024, we entered into the Bridge Note with Lytton-Kambara Foundation (the “Lender” and also the “Class A Purchaser”) pursuant to which the Lender extended a loan to the Company in the principal amount of $3.0 million (the “Loan”). The Loan is subject to an original issue discount of 7%. After deducting the original issue discount, fees paid to our placement agent, and certain expenses, the Company received net proceeds of $2.7 million. The Bridge Note was unsecured, bore interest at the rate of 12.5% per annum and had a 1-year term, maturing on August 6, 2025, at which time the entire principal amount of the Bridge Note and all accrued but unpaid interest would have been due and payable in full.

The Bridge Note and related accrued interest were settled on February 18, 2025, in conjunction with financing for the acquisition of G5 Infrared.

Equipment Loans

In December 2020, ISP Latvia received an equipment loan from a third party (the “2020 Equipment Loan”), which party is also a significant customer. The 2020 Equipment Loan was collateralized by certain equipment. The initial advance under the 2020 Equipment Loan was 225,000 EUR (or approximately USD $0.3 million), payable in equal installments over 60 months, the proceeds of which were used to make a prepayment to a vendor for equipment to be delivered at a future date. An additional 225,000 EUR (or approximately USD $0.3 million) was drawn in September 2021, which proceeds were paid to the vendor for the equipment, payable in equal installments over 52 months. The 2020 Equipment Loan bears interest at a fixed rate of 3.3%.

In May 2023, ISP Latvia entered into an equipment loan with a third party financial institution (the “2023 Equipment Loan”). The 2023 Equipment Loan is collateralized by certain equipment. The initial advances under the 2023 Equipment Loan was 260,258 EUR (or approximately USD $0.3 million), the proceeds of which were used to make a prepayment to a vendor for equipment to be delivered at a future date. The final advance for the final payment to the equipment vendor was 132,674 EUR (or approximately USD $0.1 million). The 2023 Equipment Loan is payable over 48 months, with monthly installments that began on January 1, 2024. The 2023 Equipment Loan bears interest at the six-month EURIBOR rate, plus 2.84% (4.94% as of September 30, 2025).

Future maturities of loans payable are as follows:

14. Foreign Operations

Assets and liabilities denominated in non-U.S. currencies are translated at rates of exchange prevailing on the balance sheet date, and revenues and expenses are translated at average rates of exchange for the period. Gains or losses on the translation of the financial statements of a non-U.S. operation, where the functional currency is other than the U.S. dollar, are reflected as a separate component of equity, which was a cumulative gain of approximately $1.1 million and $1.0 million as of September 30, 2025 and June 30, 2025, respectively. We also recognized net foreign currency transaction losses of $0.04 million for both the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, included in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss) in the line item entitled “Other income (expense), net.”

Our cash and cash equivalents cash totaled approximately $11.5 million at September 30, 2025. Of this amount, approximately 15% was held by our foreign subsidiaries in China and Latvia. These foreign funds were generated in China and Latvia as a result of foreign earnings. With respect to the funds generated by our foreign subsidiaries in China, the retained earnings of the respective subsidiary must equal at least 50% of its registered capital before any funds can be repatriated through dividends. As of September 30, 2025, LPOIZ had approximately $0.4 million in retained earnings available for repatriation, based on earnings accumulated through December 31, 2024, the end of the most recent statutory tax year, that remained undistributed as of September 30, 2025.

Revenues from foreign countries for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 are as follows:

15. Segment Reporting

The Company has one reportable operating segment, the optics segment that is managed on a consolidated basis. The optics segment designs and manufactures products at locations in the U.S., Europe and Asia and manages the business activities on a consolidated basis. Our Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) is the chief executive officer. The CODM assesses performance for the optics segment and decides how to allocate resources based on consolidated net loss that also is reported on the consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss) as consolidated net loss. The types of products and services from which the optics segment derives its revenues is described in Note 5,Revenue. The accounting policies of the optics segment are the same as those described in Note 2,Significant Accounting Policies, to these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. The measure of segment assets is reported on the consolidated balance sheet as total assets. See Note 5,Revenue, for detail about revenue by product and service group, and Note 14,Foreign Operations, for geographic information.

The CODM uses consolidated net loss to evaluate income generated from segment assets, and to determine whether to invest in new capabilities related to this segment. The CODM monitors budget to actual results for revenue, gross profit, operating expenses and net loss on a consolidated basis. The CODM reporting package includes non-operating items to reconcile to net income. The following table represents the financial information regularly reviewed by the CODM, in addition to the Consolidated Financial Statements. Interest expense is reported on consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss) as interest expense, net; depreciation and amortization expense, stock-based compensation expense, and total expenditures for long-lived assets are reported on the consolidated statement of cash flows.

16. Contingencies

Legal

The Company, from time to time, is involved in various legal actions arising in the normal course of business. Management, after reviewing with legal counsel all of these actions and proceedings, believes that the aggregate losses, if any, will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

Potential Impact of Economic Conditions in and Trade Relations with China

Due to our operations in China, our business, results of operations, financial condition and prospects may be influenced to a significant degree by economic, political, legal and social conditions in China. China’s economy differs from the economies of other countries in many respects, including with respect to the level of development, growth rate, amount of government involvement, control of foreign exchange and allocation of resources. While China’s economy has experienced significant growth over the past several decades, its growth rate has declined in recent years and may continue to decline. Deteriorating economic conditions in China generally have led to lower demand for our products in China and thus lower revenues and net income for our subsidiaries in China and the Company overall. A continuation of China’s current economic conditions or a further slowdown in the economic growth, an economic downturn, a recession, or other adverse economic conditions in China is likely to have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations in future quarters.

In addition, China’s export limitations on Germanium and Gallium, two materials that are commonly used in infrared optical components, are becoming increasingly disruptive to our business with adverse impacts. The initial restrictions imposed in July 2023 required all international customers to provide an end user statement for approval before receiving an export license. Following that announcement, supply of Germanium was disrupted, though not completely stopped. This also resulted in significant price increases in the cost of Germanium material. Following these restrictions we had proactively canceled a number of customer orders for Germanium, to reduce our exposure in case of a supply disruption.

Then, in December 2024, China escalated trade tensions with the U.S. by imposing more stringent export restrictions on critical minerals, including Germanium. The Chinese Ministry of Commerce cited national security concerns as the rationale for these measures, which effectively banned shipments of these minerals to the U.S., and significantly limited shipments of those minerals for dual-use applications in many other countries.

As a purchaser of Germanium, we cannot provide any assurance that we will be able to obtain adequate supplies of Germanium, or that the timing or costs of obtaining such raw materials will be acceptable to us. We have taken proactive steps to minimize the orders we accept for Germanium products and therefore minimize our exposure to this risk, and are actively working with our customers to redesign their systems to use our BlackDiamond materials instead of Germanium-based materials. Additionally, we are actively collaborating with our customers to ensure those redesigned systems are tested and qualified as replacements for legacy Germanium-based systems. In some cases, such as complex defense and airborne systems, the re-qualification of such redesigned systems is a lengthy process that can take up to two years. In other systems such as commercial systems and also some specific defense systems, this is a faster process, that takes several months.

In February 2025, the U.S. announced additional tariffs on goods imported from China, effective immediately, and China announced its intent to follow suit and implement additional tariffs on goods imported to China from the U.S. We utilize a number of strategies to mitigate the current and, hopefully, future impact of tariffs. However, given the uncertainty regarding the current tariffs, as well as the potential for additional trade actions by the U.S. or other countries in the future, any future impact on our operations and financial results is uncertain and these impacts could be more significant than those we have experienced in the past. Further, we can provide no assurance that the strategies we implemented to mitigate the impact of such tariffs or other trade actions will continue to be successful. To the extent that our supply chain, costs, sales, or profitability are negatively affected by the tariffs or other trade actions, our business, financial condition, and results of operations may be materially adversely affected.

Impact of Recent Wars

In February 2022, Russian military forces invaded Ukraine. This war has led to ongoing sanctions on Russia, which have had continuing impacts on our supply chain of raw materials, particularly Germanium. Separately, Israel declared war on Hamas in October 2023. Initially, this resulted in a temporary increase in our sales, as Israel worked to replace electro-optical systems that in some cases use our materials. Our sales to customers in this region have since stabilized, however, it is still possible that this war could have a negative impact on our business as a result of the overall economic impact in Israel. In addition to the significant defense related market in Israel, we also serve many commercial related applications and work with commercial companies in Israel, and the business of those customers may be negatively impacted by the war over time. Given the dynamic nature of this situation, we cannot reasonably estimate the impact of either the Russian-Ukraine conflict or the Israel-Hamas war on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows into the foreseeable future.
