Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders

Innovative Eyewear, Inc.

Miami, Florida

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Innovative Eyewear, Inc. (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the years then ended and the related notes. In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s 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 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 financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the 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 financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

/s/Cherry Bekaert LLP

We have served as the Company’s auditor since 2021.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

December 31, 2025 and 2024

NOTE 1 –GENERAL INFORMATION

Innovative Eyewear, Inc. (the “Company,” “us,” “we,” or “our”) is a corporation organized under the laws of the State of Florida that develops and sells cutting-edge smart eyewear – including prescription eyeglasses, ready-to-wear sunglasses, safety glasses, and sport glasses – which are designed to allow our customers to remain connected to their digital lives. We sell smart eyewear under our own Lucyd brand, which includes the Lucyd Lyte® and Lucyd Armor product lines, as well as cobranded smart eyewear under the Nautica® Powered by Luycd, Eddie Bauer® Powered by Luycd, and Reebok® Powered by Luycd product lines.

The Company was originally founded by Lucyd Ltd., a portfolio company of Tekcapital Plc through Tekcapital Europe, Ltd. (collectively, together with Lucyd Ltd., “Tekcapital and Affiliates”), which owned approximately 5% of our issued and outstanding shares of common stock as of December 31, 2025.

NOTE 2 –SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) and in accordance with the accounting rules under Regulation S-X, as promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for the fair presentation of the financial statements for the years presented have been included. The results of operations for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for future periods.

Change in Capital Structure

As described more fully in Note 8, effective July 18, 2024, the Company effected a 1-for-20 reverse stock split for all of its issued and outstanding common stock. All share and per share related amounts presented in these financial statements and accompanying notes, including but not limited to shares issued and outstanding, dollar amounts of common stock and additional paid-in capital, earnings/(loss) per share, and warrants and options, have been retroactively adjusted for all periods presented in order to reflect this change in capital structure. There were no changes to the total number of authorized common shares or par value per common share as a result of this change.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates, particularly given the significant uncertainties associated with the current state of international trade and the overall economic environment.

Segment Reporting

The Company has a single reportable segment, which generates revenue from the sales of smartglasses, and related accessories and apps. The Company derives revenue primarily in North America and manages its business activities on a consolidated basis.

The Company’s chief operating decision maker, as such term is defined under GAAP, is our Chief Executive Officer. The accounting policies of our single reportable segment are the same as those for the Company as a whole.

The chief operating decision maker assesses performance for the single reportable segment and decides how to allocate resources based on net income that also is reported on the income statement as consolidated net income. The measure of segment assets is reported on the balance sheet as total consolidated assets. The Company does not have intra-entity sales or transfers.

Cash Equivalents

All highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, including money market funds, certificates of deposit, and U.S. Treasury bills purchased three months or less from maturity, are considered cash equivalents.

Investments

As of December 31, 2024, the Company held certain investments in U.S. Treasury bills, which were purchased in September 2024 and matured in March 2025. These investments were classified as “held-to-maturity” and were recorded at amortized cost of $4,895,184 in the accompanying balance sheet as of December 31, 2024; the aggregate fair value of these investments as of December 31, 2024, based on quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets, was $4,957,750.Upon maturity of these investments in March 2025, the Company recognized a realized gain $104,816.

Additionally, during the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company purchased an investment in U.S. Treasury bills for $1,274,320 in April 2025, which subsequently matured in October 2025 and for which the Company recognized a realized gain of $25,680.

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable are uncollateralized obligations due from customers under normal trade terms. For direct-to-consumer sales, payment is required before product is shipped. For wholesale orders, we offer “net 30” payment terms on wholesale orders of $1,500 or more in accordance with industry standards. The Company, by policy, routinely assesses the financial strength of its customers.

Accounts receivable are reported at the amount billed to the customer, net of an allowance for credit losses. The allowance for credit losses is determined based upon a variety of judgments and factors. Factors considered in determining the allowance include historical collection, write-off experience, and management’s assessment of collectability from customers, giving consideration to current conditions, reasonable forecasts, and expectations of future collectability and collection efforts. Management continuously assesses the collectability of receivables and adjusts estimates based on actual experience and future expectations. Receivable balances are written-off against the allowance when such balances are deemed to be uncollectible. The Company recognized bad debt expense of $7,993 and $19,859 for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

A roll forward of the allowance for credit losses for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 is as follows:

Schedule of allowance for doubtful account
20252024
Balance at January 1$30,966$25,772
Bad debt expense7,99319,859
Write-offs(22,401)(14,883)
Other86218
Balance at December 31$16,644$30,966

As of January 1, 2024, accounts receivable, net of allowance for credit losses were $93,211.

Inventory

Our inventory predominantly consists of purchased eyewear and related accessories, and is stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, with cost determined on a specific identification method of inventory costing which attaches the actual cost to an identifiable unit of product. Also included within inventory at December 31, 2025 was $72,864 of electronic components purchased from a third-party supplier for use by our manufacturer in their future production of our eyewear; there were no such comparable amounts in inventory at December 31, 2024.

Provisions for excess, obsolete, or slow-moving inventory are recorded after periodic evaluation of historical sales, current economic trends, forecasted sales, estimated product life cycles, and estimated inventory levels. Such provisions were $59,000 and $0 as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company recorded an inventory prepayment in the amount of $438,417 and $424,594, respectively, related to down payments on eyewear purchased from the manufacturer, prior to shipment of the product that occurred after the respective balance sheet dates.

Intangible Assets

Intangible assets relate to patent costs received in conjunction with the initial capitalization of the Company and internally developed utility and design patents. The Company amortizes these assets over the estimated useful life of the patents. The Company reviews its intangible assets for impairment whenever changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable.

Capitalized Software

Prior to 2024, the Company had incurred certain costs related to development of the Vyrb software application, and had capitalized approximately $88,000 of such costs related to coding, development, and testing (subsequent to establishing technical feasibility of the app), as it was the Company’s intention to market and sell this software externally. During 2024, management decided to shift its primary software development focus to the Lucyd app. Based on this decision, during the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company expensed the previously-capitalized Vyrb software development costs totaling approximately $88,000 to research and development expense.

No development costs have been capitalized with respect to the Lucyd app or any other software, and there are no capitalized software costs recorded on the Company’s balance sheets as of December 31, 2025 or 2024.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives or lease terms if shorter. Depreciation expense for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 was $66,788 and $109,489, respectively. Repair and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred.

Less: Accumulated depreciation(257,254)(190,466)
Property and equipment, net$61,777$107,562

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

For certain of the Company’s financial instruments, including cash, cash equivalents, accounts receivable, and accounts payable, the carrying amounts approximate fair value due to the short-term maturities of these instruments.

Concentrations of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash, cash equivalents, and accounts receivable.

The Company limits its credit risk with respect to cash by maintaining cash and cash equivalent balances with high quality financial institutions. At times, the Company’s cash balances may exceed federally insured limits.

Concentrations of credit risk with respect to accounts receivable are generally considered minimal due to collection history. However, some significant concentrations exist.

●The accounts receivable balance from Amazon.com for sales made through their website was $66,043 or approximately 42% of the Company’s gross accounts receivable balance as of December 31, 2025, and was $23,834 or approximately 17% of the Company’s gross accounts receivable balance as of December 31, 2024.
●The accounts receivable balance from an unrelated wholesale distributor was $18,586 or approximately 12% of the Company’s gross accounts receivable balance as of December 31, 2025, and was $53,184 or approximately 37% of the Company’s gross accounts receivable balance as of December 31, 2024.
●As of December 31, 2024, $47,950 or approximately 33% of the Company’s gross accounts receivable balance was related to a single customer under a long-term instalment arrangement; the accounts receivable balance for this customer was zero as of December 31, 2025.

Revenue Recognition

Our revenue is primarily generated from the sales of prescription and non-prescription optical glasses and sunglasses, and shipping charges which are charged to the customer associated with these purchases. We sell products through our retail store resellers, distributors, on our own website Lucyd.co, and on Amazon.com. We have also recently started to generate revenue from the sale of subscriptions to the “Pro” version of our Lucyd app, which provides unlimited ChatGPT interactions and priority tech support for a monthly or annual fee.

The following table presents disaggregated revenue for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024:

20252024
E-commerce channels$2,431,365$1,464,385
Wholesale channels217,113167,549
App store subscriptions13,1914,506
Total revenues, net$2,661,669$1,636,440

To determine revenue recognition, we perform the following steps: (i) identify the contract(s) with a customer, (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract, (iii) determine the transaction price, (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract, and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) we satisfy a performance obligation. At contract inception, we assess the goods or services promised within each contract and determine those that are performance obligations, and also assess whether each promised good or service is distinct. We then recognize as revenue the amount of the transaction price that is allocated to the respective performance obligation when (or as) the performance obligation is satisfied.

In instances where the collectability of contractual consideration is not probable at the time of sale, the revenue is deferred on our balance sheet as a contract liability, and the associated cost of goods sold is deferred on our balance sheet as a contract asset; subsequently, we recognize such revenue and cost of goods sold as payments are received. With respect to such instances, during the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, we recognized $30,000 of revenue for each period, that was included in the contract liability balance of $47,950 and $77,950 as of January 1, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

All revenue, including sales processed online and through our retail store resellers and distributors, is reported net of discounts, returns, and sales taxes collected from customers on behalf of taxing authorities. Amounts billed to a customer for shipping and handling are reported as revenues; costs incurred for shipping and handling are included in cost of goods sold at the time the related revenue is recognized.

For sales generated through our e-commerce channels, we identify the contract with a customer upon online purchase of our eyewear and transaction price at the manufacturer suggested retail price (“MSRP”). Our e-commerce revenue is recognized upon meeting of the performance obligation when the eyewear is shipped to the end customer. For sales processed through our website, U.S. consumers enjoy free USPS first class postage on orders over $149, with faster delivery options available for extra cost, for sales processed through our website. For Amazon sales, shipping is free for U.S. consumers while international customers pay shipping charges on top of MSRP. Any costs associated with fees charged by the online platforms (i.e., Amazon.com, or Shopify for sales through our Lucyd.co website) are not recharged to customers and are recorded as a component of cost of goods sold as incurred. The Company charges applicable state sales taxes in addition to the MSRP for both online channels and all other marketplaces on which we sell products.

For sales to our retail store partners, we identify the contract with a customer upon receipt of an order of our eyewear through our Shopify wholesale portal or direct purchase order. Revenue is recognized upon meeting the performance obligation, which is delivery of the Company’s eyewear products to the retail store, and is also recorded net of returns and discounts. Our wholesale pricing for eyewear sold to retail store partners includes volume discounts, due to the nature of large quantity orders. The pricing includes shipping charges, while excluding any state sales tax charges applicable. Due to the nature of wholesale retail orders, no e-commerce fees are applicable.

For sales to distributors, we identify the contract with a customer upon receipt of an order of our eyewear through a direct purchase order. If collectability of substantially all of the contract consideration is probable, revenue is recognized upon meeting the performance obligation, which is delivery of our eyewear products to the distributor, and is also recorded net of returns and discounts. Our wholesale pricing for eyewear sold to retail store partners and distributors includes volume discounts, due to the nature of large quantity orders. The pricing does not include shipping. Due to the nature of wholesale retail orders, no marketplace fees are applicable, only credit card processing fees.

For sales of subscriptions to the “Pro” version of our Lucyd app, we identify the individual contracts with customers through detailed transaction reports from the Apple App Store or Google Play Store, with each individual transaction representing a separate contract. Revenue is recognized upon meeting the performance obligation, which is the right and availability of each customer to access the “Pro” features of the Lucyd app. For those customers that purchase such access on a month-to-month basis, we recognize revenue in the month in which the purchase of such access is made. For those customers that purchase an annual subscription, we recognize revenue on a straight-line basis over the subscription period, using a mid-month convention. The balance of unearned revenue related to app subscriptions that has been deferred on our balance sheet as a contract liability was $4,506 and $2,401 as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. During the year ended December 31, 2025, we recognized $2,401 of revenue that was included in the contract liability balance as of January 1, 2025.

We allow our customers to return our physical products, subject to our refund policy, which allows any customer to return our physical products for any reason and receive a full refund for frames (prescription lenses excluded) within the first: 7 days for sales made through our website (Lucyd.co), 30 days for sales made through Amazon, and 30 days for sales to most wholesale retailers and distributors (although certain sales to independent distributors are ineligible for returns). We charge a standard $15 restocking fee for standard frame returns, which is deducted from applicable refunds to cover shipping and restocking costs, and our return policy prohibits discretionary returns of glasses with prescription lenses.

For all of our product sales, at the time of sale, we establish a reserve for returns, based on historical experience and expected future returns, as well as review all individual returns received in the month following the balance sheet date; such reserve is recorded as a reduction of sales. The Company recorded an allowance for sales returns of $14,669 and $15,746 as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company recognizes compensation expense for stock-based awards to employees and directors and others based on the grant date fair value of such awards. Forfeitures are accounted for as a reduction of compensation expense in the period when such forfeitures occur.

For awards of restricted stock units and shares of common stock, the fair value of the award is based on the quoted market price of our common shares on the NASDAQ stock exchange.

For stock option awards, the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model is used to estimate the fair value of share-based awards. The Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model incorporates various and highly subjective assumptions, including expected term and share price volatility.

●The expected term of the stock options is estimated based on the simplified method as allowed by Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107.
●The share price volatility is estimated using historical stock prices based upon the expected term of the options granted, using stock prices of comparably profiled public companies.
●The risk-free interest rate assumption is determined using the rates for U.S. Treasury zero-coupon bonds with maturities similar to those of the expected term of the award being valued.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) ASU 2023-09,Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. ASU 2023-09 requires disclosure of additional categories of information about federal, state, and foreign income taxes in the rate reconciliation table and requires entities to provide more details about the reconciling items in some categories if items meet a quantitative threshold. The ASU also requires entities to disclose income taxes paid, net of refunds, disaggregated by federal (national), state, and foreign taxes for annual periods and to disaggregate the information by jurisdiction based on a quantitative threshold. The guidance makes several other changes to the disclosure requirements.

ASU 2023-09 was effective for the Company for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025. We adopted the new standard, which primarily resulted in expanded disclosures in the rate reconciliation table and regarding certain reconciling items. Refer to Note 4 for additional information. As the requirements of this ASU relate to disclosure only, the adoption of this ASU did not have a significant impact on our financial statements.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03,Income Statement – Reporting Comprehensive Income – Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses. ASU 2024-03 requires public business entities to disclose specified information about certain costs and expenses, including but not limited to purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, and intangible asset amortization, in a tabular format within the notes to their financial statements, as well as provide additional disclosures related to certain other specified expenses. The ASU may be applied on either a prospective or retrospective basis, and is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. The Company is currently evaluating the ASU to determine its impact on the Company’s disclosures.

Subsequent Events

In connection with the preparation of these financial statements, the Company has evaluated subsequent events through March 25, 2026, which is the date the financial statements were available to be issued. See Note 11 for additional information.

NOTE 3 –LIQUIDITY

The Company has a limited operating history. The Company’s business and operations are sensitive to general business and economic conditions in the United States. A host of factors beyond the Company’s control could cause fluctuations in these conditions. Adverse conditions may include an economic recession or downturn, changes in regulations or restrictions on imports, competition, or changes in consumer taste. These adverse conditions could affect the Company’s financial condition and the results of its operations.

The Company meets its day-to-day working capital requirements using monies raised through sales of eyewear and issuances of equity.

During the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company raised approximately $6.8 million and $10.5 million, respectively, of net cash proceeds through the issuance of equity via a combination of at-the-market offerings, registered direct offerings, and warrant exercises (see Note 8 for details). The Company has also entered into agreements with related parties, under which the Company may make net borrowings of up to $0.95 million (see Note 6 for details); as of December 31, 2025, the Company has not borrowed any amounts under such agreements.

Management expects that operating losses could continue in the foreseeable future as we continue to invest in the expansion and development of our business. Management’s forecasts and projections indicate that the Company expects to have sufficient liquidity to fund operations through at least the next 12 months. However, the Company may raise additional funds if management believes it would be beneficial to do so.

NOTE 4 –INCOME TAXES

The Company accounts for income taxes under an asset and liability approach that recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities based on the difference between the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax bases of assets and liabilities, using enacted tax rates in effect in the years in which the differences are expected to reverse (i.e., when taxes are actually paid or recovered).

The Company assesses the realizability of its net deferred tax assets on an annual basis. A valuation allowance is established when it is more likely than not that all or a portion of a deferred tax asset will not be realized. A review of all relevant available positive and negative evidence is considered, including the Company’s current and past performance, the market environment in which the Company operates, length of carryback and carryforward periods, and existing contracts that will result in future profits.

After reviewing all relevant available evidence, the Company has recorded a full valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2025 and 2024.

On July 4, 2025, the United States enacted budget reconciliation bill H.R. 1, referred to as the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (“OBBBA”). The OBBBA includes a broad range of tax reform provisions, including extending and modifying various provisions of the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act and expanding certain incentives in the 2022 Inflation Reduction Act while accelerating the phase-out of other incentives. The OBBBA has multiple effective dates, with certain provisions effective in 2025 and other provisions effective in 2026 and subsequent years. OBBBA provisions include the restoration of the current deductibility for domestic research expenditures beginning in 2025, with transition options for previously capitalized amounts. OBBBA’s changes to the deductibility of domestic research and experimental expenditures decreased our deferred tax asset position as a change in tax law is accounted for in the period of enactment.

The effective tax rate on income/(loss) before income taxes for the year ended December 31, 2025 differed from the U.S. federal statutory tax rate for the following reasons:

Amount · Percent
U.S. federal statutory tax rate$1,594,15021.00%
State and local income taxes, net of federal (national) income tax expense (a)78,2431.04%
Nontaxable or nondeductible items
Restricted Stock Units (RSUs)(67,171)-0.91%
Other(15,789)-0.21%
Other(4,736)-0.09%
Changes in valuation allowance(1,584,697)-20.83%
Effective tax rate$-0.00%
(a)State taxes in Florida made up the majority (greater than 50%) of the tax effect in this category.

The effective tax rate on income/(loss) before income taxes for the year ended December 31, 2024 differed from the U.S. federal statutory tax rate for the following reasons:

Schedule of reconciliation of federal statutory tax rate
Income tax benefit at the statutory federal rate$1,630,968
State income tax benefits, net of federal benefit68,365
Change in valuation allowance and other items(1,699,333)
Total$-

The Company’s effective tax rate for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 was 0%, primarily due to the changes in the full valuation allowance on net deferred tax assets.

Cash Paid for Income Taxes

For the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company did not make any cash payments for income taxes as it generated net operating losses during the period. The Company did, however, incur and pay non–income-based taxes.

Deferred Tax Assets and Liabilities

The components of the Company’s net deferred tax assets (liabilities) at December 31, 2025 and 2024 are as follows:

2025 · 2024
Deferred tax assets:
Net operating losses – federal$5,510,579$3,929,930

Total deferred tax liabilities(6,994)(33,469)
Valuation Allowance(7,055,147)(5,470,450)
Total net deferred tax assets$-$-

At December 31, 2025, the Company had federal net operating loss carryforwards of $26,240,853 and state net operating loss carryforwards of $14,071,375, both of which may be carried forward indefinitely. A company’s ability to utilize a portion of its net operating loss carryforwards to offset future taxable income may be subject to certain limitations under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code due to changes in the equity ownership of the Company. The Company has not completed a formal Section 382 analysis. In addition, future changes in ownership as defined in Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code could put limitations on the availability of the net operating loss carryforwards.

Unrecognized Tax Benefits

The Company follows a more-likely-than-not threshold for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken, or expected to be taken, in a tax return. The Company recognizes a benefit from its tax positions only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position are measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with a taxing authority that has full knowledge of all relevant information. Any interest and penalties accrued related to uncertain tax positions are recorded in tax expense.

As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company did not record any uncertain tax position related to the utilization of certain federal net operating losses. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, The Company hasno liability for unrecognized tax benefits. Additionally, the Company has no pending or on-going audits in any tax jurisdiction.

The Company’s tax returns for the years ended 2022 – 2025 remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service for U.S. federal income tax purposes and by the applicable state taxing authorities in Florida.

NOTE 7 –COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Legal Matters

We are not currently the subject of any material pending legal proceedings; however, we may from time to time become a party to various legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business.

On November 11, 2025, the Company entered into a settlement and release agreement with a shareholder related to certain legal matters. Pursuant to the terms of such agreement, the Company received $570,000 from such shareholder, which is reflected within other income (expense), net in the statement of operations. Fees paid to legal counsel associated with this matter are reflected within general and administrative expenses in the statement of operations.

In January 2024, we settled and resolved all outstanding matters relating to complaints filed by a third party with the International Trade Commission, alleging that certain of our products (as well as certain products of our competitors) infringed on patents held by the third party. As part of this settlement, we entered into a multi-year non-exclusive license agreement with that third party covering multiple smart eyewear patents (as described more fully below under ‘License Agreements’).

License Agreements

During 2022 and 2023, we entered into various multi-year license agreements which grant us the right to sell certain branded smart eyewear, including the Nautica, Eddie Bauer, and Reebok brands worldwide. These agreements require us to pay royalties based on a percentage of net retail and wholesale sales during the period of the license, and also require guaranteed minimum royalty payments. The agreements have base terms of 10 years but are cancellable at the option of the Company during the fifth year.

The aggregate future minimum payments due under these license agreements are as follows:

2026$834,000
20271,290,000

20302,037,000
Thereafter (through 2033)6,092,000
Total$13,574,000

Also, on January 3, 2024, we entered into a multi-year non-exclusive license agreement with a third party (IngenioSpec, LLC) for multiple smart eyewear patents. Pursuant to this license agreement, the Company added licenses for 46 new patents to its portfolio of owned and licensed patents and applications. The Company fully prepaid this license for the term of the agreement and does not have any obligation for future payments under this agreement.

Other Commitments

See related party management services agreement discussed in Note 6.

International Trade and Tariffs

Beginning in April of 2025, the U.S. government announced new or increased tariffs on goods imported from various countries to the U.S., and countries subject to such tariffs have imposed or may in the future impose retaliatory tariffs and other trade measures. These recent developments have negatively impacted our results of operations. Due to their evolving nature, we cannot predict with certainty the ultimate impacts they may have on our business and results in the future, but those impacts could be material.

We are actively monitoring the ongoing tariff and international trade developments, and continue to evaluate the potential impacts to our business, cost structure, supply chain, and the broader economic environment. We have taken actions and developed contingency plans to mitigate the negative impacts of tariffs on our results, but cannot provide any assurance that such actions and strategies will be successful.

NOTE 8 –STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

Pursuant to a corporate resolution on July 1, 2021, the Company has authority to issue up to 15,000,000 shares of preferred stock and 50,000,000 shares of common stock. There wereno shares of preferred stock issued or outstanding as of December 31, 2025 and 2024.

Change in Capital Structure – Reverse Stock Split

At our annual meeting of shareholders on July 8, 2024, the Company’s shareholders approved an amendment to the Company’s articles of incorporation to effect a reverse stock split of our issued and outstanding common stock at a ratio between 1-for-14 and 1-for-24. Subsequently, the board of directors authorized a reverse stock split in a ratio of 1-for-20 shares, and we filed with the Florida Secretary of State a certificate of amendment to our articles of incorporation.

Effective July 18, 2024, each 20 shares of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock were combined into one share of common stock, except to the extent that the reverse stock split would have resulted in any of the Company’s stockholders owning a fractional share, in which case such fractional share was rounded up to the next highest whole share. Additionally, pursuant to their terms, the shares of common stock underlying the Company’s outstanding stock options and warrants were similarly adjusted along with corresponding adjustments to their exercise prices.

All share and per share amounts presented in these financial statements and accompanying notes, included but not limited to shares issued and outstanding, earnings/(loss) per share, and warrants and options, as well as the dollar amounts of common stock and additional paid-in capital, have been retroactively adjusted for all periods presented in order to reflect this change in capital structure.

There was no change to the total number of authorized common shares of 50,000,000, and there was no change in the par value per common share of $0.00001.

Pursuant to the inducement letter agreements, the holders agreed to exercise the existing warrants for cash at an exercise price of $2.60 per share in consideration of the Company’s agreement to issue new unregistered Series I Warrants to purchase up to an aggregate 2,240,346 shares of common stock, each at a purchase price of $0.125 per warrant. The relevant details of the Series I Warrants are outlined in the table above.

This transaction closed on June 24, 2025, and the gross proceeds to the Company were approximately $2.2 million prior to deducting placement agent fees and offering expenses. HCW acted as the exclusive placement agent for the offering; as compensation for such placement agent services, the Company paid HCW an aggregate cash fee equal to 7.5% of the gross proceeds received by the Company from this transaction, plus a management fee equal to 1.0% of the gross proceeds received by the Company. The Company also issued to HCW or its designees warrants to purchase up to 56,009 shares of common stock; such placement agent warrants are immediately exercisable, will expire on June 20, 2030, and have an exercise price of $3.25 per share.

The net proceeds received by the Company from this transaction amounted to approximately $1,890,000, which the Company intends to use for working capital and general corporate purposes.

The Company also paid approximately $157,000 of legal and accounting fees during the year ended December 31, 2025 related to these warrant inducement transactions; these payments have been reflected in the financial statements as a reduction to additional paid in capital, as they represent a related cost of the inducement transactions.

Rights Plan

On September 25, 2024, our board of directors approved the adoption of a limited duration stockholder rights plan (the “Rights Plan”), and declared a dividend to stockholders of record at the close of business on September 25, 2024 of one common stock purchase right (a “Right”) for each outstanding share of our common stock. Each Right entitles the holder to purchase from the Company six shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $6.21 per share. The Rights are evidenced by and trade with the certificates for the shares of our common stock that were outstanding as of September 25, 2024, and accompany any new shares of our common stock that were or will be issued after that date.

Under the Rights Plan, the Rights generally will become exercisable only if a person or group acquires beneficial ownership of 20% or more of our common stock in a transaction not approved by our board of directors. In that situation, each holder of a Right (other than the acquiring person or group, whose rights will become void and will not be exercisable) will have the right to purchase, upon payment of the exercise price and in accordance with the terms of the Rights Plan, a number of shares of our common stock having a market value of twice such price.

Under the Rights Plan (as subsequently amended in 2025), the Rights expire the earlier of (i) September 25, 2026, (ii) the redemption or exchange of the Rights in accordance with the terms of the Rights Plan, (iii) the closing of certain merger or other acquisition transactions involving the Company, and (iv) the date of the Company’s 2026 annual meeting of its stockholders.

The Rights Plan is not intended to prevent a takeover of the Company and should not interfere with any merger or other business combination approved by our board of directors. However, the Rights Plan may cause substantial dilution to a person or group that acquires beneficial ownership of twenty percent (20%) or more of our outstanding common stock.

Other Matters

During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company made a release payment of $325,000 to a shareholder counterparty for the waiver of certain of that counterparty’s pre-existing contractual rights related to certain of the Company’s equity offerings described above. This payment is reflected within general and administrative expenses in the statement of operations.

NOTE 10 –EARNINGS PER SHARE

The Company calculates earnings/(loss) per share data by calculating the quotient of earnings/(loss) divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the respective period as required by ASC 260-10-50.
