(Expressed in US Dollars)

POET Technologies Inc. is incorporated in the Province of Ontario. POET Technologies Inc. and its subsidiaries (the “Company”) design and develop the POET Optical Interposer and Photonic Integrated Circuits for the data center and tele-communications markets. The Company’s common shares are listed on the Nasdaq under the symbol “POET”. The Company’s head office is located at 120 Eglinton Avenue East, Suite 1107, Toronto, Ontario, Canada M4P 1E2. These unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Company were approved by the Board of Directors of the Company on August 13, 2026.

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared using IFRS Accounting Standards (“IFRS”) applicable to a going concern, which assumes that the Company will be able to realize its assets, discharge its liabilities and continue in operation for the following twelve months.

These condensed unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries were prepared in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”).

These condensed unaudited consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information required for full annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025.

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with International Accounting Standards (“IAS”) 34 Interim Financial Reporting, requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise judgment in applying the Company’s accounting policies disclosed in Note 2 of its consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025. The areas involving a higher degree of judgment or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the financial statements are disclosed below:

Basis of consolidation

These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of POET Technologies Inc. and its subsidiaries; ODIS Inc. (“ODIS”), Opel Solar Inc. (“OPEL”), BB Photonics Inc. (“BB Photonics”), POET Technologies Pte Ltd. (“PTS”), POET Optoelectronics Shenzhen Co., Ltd (“POET Shenzhen”), POET Technologies Sdn. Bhd. (“PTM”), and Super Photonics Xiamen Co., Ltd (“SPX”). Subsidiaries are all entities over which the Company has exposure to variable returns from its involvement and has the ability to use power over the investee to affect its returns. The existence and effect of potential voting rights that are currently exercisable or convertible are considered when assessing whether the Company controls another entity. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Company until the date on which control ceases. The accounts of subsidiaries are prepared for the same reporting period as the parent company, using consistent accounting policies. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated on consolidation.

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise judgment in applying the Company’s accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgment or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the financial statements are disclosed below:

Critical accounting judgments and significant estimates and uncertainties

Business combinations

Acquisitions of businesses are accounted for using the acquisition method. The acquisition cost is measured at the acquisition date at the fair value of the consideration transferred, including all contingent consideration.

POET TECHNOLOGIES INC.

NOTES TO CONDENSED INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Expressed in US Dollars)

The determination of whether a corporate entity or set of assets acquired, and liabilities assumed, constitute a business may require the Company to make certain judgements, considering all facts and circumstances. A business is presumed to be an integrated set of activities and assets capable of being conducted and managed for the purpose of providing a return in the form of dividends, lower costs, or economic benefits. SPX was determined to constitute an acquisition of assets.

Determination of functional currency

The Company determines the functional currency through an analysis of several indicators such as expenses and cash flow, financing activities, retention of operating cash flows, and frequency of transactions within the reporting entity.

Valuation of share-based compensation, derivative warrant liability and deferred customer consideration

The Company uses the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model for valuation of share-based compensation and derivative warrant liability. Option pricing models require the input of subjective assumptions including expected price volatility, risk-free interest rate, and forfeiture rate. Changes in the input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate and the Company’s earnings and equity reserves.

Deferred customer consideration

Significant judgment and estimation is required in determining the timing and amount of customer consideration in connection with the supply agreement with a customer as outlined in Note 24. Management evaluates each vesting tranche based on the level of contractual commitment underlying the applicable vesting milestone. The grant-date fair value is recognized as deferred customer consideration over the contract term, with a corresponding increase in derivative warrant liability, based on the number of awards expected to vest for non-market vesting conditions.

Income taxes

In assessing the probability of realizing income tax assets, management makes estimates related to expectation of future taxable income, applicable tax opportunities, expected timing of reversals of existing temporary differences and the likelihood that tax positions taken will be sustained upon examination by applicable tax authorities. In making its assessments, management gives additional weight to positive and negative evidence that can be objectively verified.

Foreign currency translation

These consolidated financial statements are presented in U.S. dollars (“USD”), which is the Company’s presentation currency.

Items included in the financial statements of each of the Company’s subsidiaries are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (the “functional currency”). Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transaction. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation of monetary assets and liabilities not denominated in the functional currency of an entity are recognized in the statement of operations and deficit.

The following table presents the jurisdiction under which each entity in the group is incorporated and the functional currency of each entity:

POET TECHNOLOGIES INC.

NOTES TO CONDENSED INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Expressed in US Dollars)

Assets and liabilities of entities with functional currencies other than U.S. dollars are translated into the presentation currency at the year end rates of exchange, and the results of their operations are translated at average rates of exchange for the year. The resulting translation adjustments are included in accumulated other comprehensive loss in shareholders’ equity. Additionally, foreign exchange gains and losses related to certain intercompany loans that are permanent in nature are included in accumulated other comprehensive loss. Elements of equity are translated at historical rates.

(1) Effective October 1, 2025, management determined that the Canadian entity’s functional currency changed from the Canadian dollar to the U.S. dollar due to a shift in the primary economic environment, being the change in primary sources of funding of the Canadian entity. In accordance with IAS 21, the change was applied prospectively. All assets, liabilities, and equity were translated into U.S. dollars using the exchange rate on the date of change, and these amounts became the new historical carrying values.

This resulted in adjustments of ($28,058,114) to share capital, ($204,117) to warrants, ($8,255,576) to contributed surplus and $36,855,727 to deficit. Further, changes to the derivative warrant liability (note 21), resulted in adjustments of ($14,961,966) to warrants and ($35,732,933) to contributed surplus. These amounts are presented as “adjustment due to change in functional currency” on the consolidated statements of changes in shareholders’ equity.

Financial Instruments

Financial assets held with an objective to hold assets in order to collect contractual cash flows which arise on specified dates that are solely principal and interest are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Debt investments held with an objective to hold both assets in order to collect contractual cash flows which arise on specified dates that are solely principal and interest as well as selling the asset on the basis of fair value are measured at FVTOCI. All other financial assets are classified and measured at fair value through profit or loss (“FVTPL”). Financial liabilities are classified as either FVTPL or other financial liabilities, and the portion of the change in fair value that relates to the Company’s credit risk is presented in other comprehensive income (loss). Instruments classified as FVTPL are measured at fair value with unrealized gains and losses recognized in net income (loss). Other financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issuance of financial assets and financial liabilities, other than financial assets and financial liabilities classified as FVTPL, are added to or deducted from the fair value on initial recognition. Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition of financial assets or financial liabilities classified as FVTPL are recognized immediately in consolidated net income (loss).

Financial assets

The Company derecognizes a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire, or it transfers the rights to receive the contractual cash flows in a transaction in which substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset are transferred or in which the Company neither transfers nor retains substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership and it does not retain control of the financial asset. Any interest in transferred financial assets that is created or retained by the Company is recognized as a separate asset or liability.

Financial liabilities

A financial liability is derecognized from the statement of financial position when it is extinguished, that is, when the obligation specified in the contract is either discharged, cancelled or expires. Where there has been an exchange between an existing borrower and lender of debt instruments with substantially different terms, or there has been a substantial modification of the terms of an existing financial liability, this transaction is accounted for as an extinguishment of the original financial liability and the recognition of a new financial liability. A gain or loss from extinguishment of the original financial liability is recognized in profit or loss.

POET TECHNOLOGIES INC.

NOTES TO CONDENSED INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Expressed in US Dollars)

The Company’s financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, accounts receivable, deposit, loan receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, convertible debt, and derivative warrant liability.

Impairment of long-lived assets

The Company’s tangible and intangible assets are reviewed for indications of impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts of the assets may not be recoverable. An assessment is made at each reporting date whether there is any indication that an asset may be impaired.

An impairment loss is recognized when the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount. Impairment losses are recognized in profit and loss for the year. The recoverable amount is the greater of the asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. For an asset that does not generate largely independent cash inflows, the recoverable amount is determined for the cash-generating unit (“CGU”) to which the asset belongs.

An impairment loss is reversed if there is an indication that there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount. An impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the asset’s carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation or amortization, if no impairment loss had been recognized. No impairment loss has been reported for the current period.

Derivative financial instruments

The Company issues warrants exercisable in a currency other than the Company’s functional currency and warrants that are exercisable into a variable number of shares and as a result, the warrants are derivative financial instruments. Derivative financial instruments are initially recognized at fair value and subsequently measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in profit or loss. Transaction costs are recognized in profit or loss as incurred.

The following table outlines the classification of financial instruments under IFRS 9:

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, bank deposits, demand deposits and short-term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash.

Short-term investments

The short-term investments of $363,809,999 (2025 - $273,439,102) consist of guaranteed investment certificates (GICs) held with Canadian chartered banks and earn interest at rates ranging from 3.4% to 4.91%, that mature within one year.

Property and equipment

Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is calculated based on the estimated useful life of the asset using the following method and useful lives:

Patents and licenses

Patents and licenses are recorded at cost and amortized on a straight line basis over 12 years. Ongoing maintenance costs are expensed as incurred.

Revenue recognition

Revenue is measured based on the consideration specified in a contract with a customer and excludes amounts collected on behalf of third parties. The Company recognizes revenue when it transfers control over a product or service to a customer.

Sale of goods

Revenue from the sale of goods is recognized, net of discounts and customer rebates, at the point in time the transfer of control of the related products has taken place as specified in the sales contract and collectability is reasonably assured.

Service revenue

The Company provides contract services, primarily in the form of non-recurring revenue (“NRE”) where control is passed to the customer over time. The contracts generally provide agreed upon milestones for customer payment which include but are not limited to the delivery of sample products, design reports and test reports. The customer makes payment when it has approved the delivery of the milestone. The Company must determine if the contract is made up of a series of independent performance obligations or a single performance obligation. Where NRE contracts contain multiple performance obligations for which a standalone transaction price can be assessed, revenue is recognized as each performance obligation is satisfied. Where NRE contracts contain a single performance obligation to be settled over time, revenue is recognized progressively based on the output method.

Other income

Interest income

Interest income on cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments and loan receivable is recognized as earned using the effective interest method.

Stock-based compensation

Stock options awarded to non employees are measured using the fair value of the goods or services received unless that fair value cannot be estimated reliably, in which case measurement is based on the fair value of the stock options. Stock options awarded to employees are accounted for using the fair value method. The fair value of such stock options granted is recognized as an expense on a proportionate basis consistent with the vesting features of each tranche of the grant. The fair value is calculated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with assumptions applicable at the date of grant. When stock options are exercised, the proceeds received, together with any related amount in the reserves, are credited to share capital. In the event share options are forfeited prior to vesting, the associated fair value recorded to date is reversed.

Valuation of equity units issued in private placements

When the Company issues warrants that are exercisable in the Company’s functional currency, the proceeds from the issue of units is allocated between common shares and common share purchase warrants on a residual values basis as follows: the fair value of the common shares is based on the subscription price of the units issued and the fair value of the common share purchase warrants is determined using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model. The fair value of warrants that expire, is reversed to contributed surplus.

Loss per share

Basic loss per share, net of taxes is calculated by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. Diluted net loss per share is calculated by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period after giving effect to potentially dilutive financial instruments. The dilutive effect of stock options and warrants is determined using the treasury stock method.

Leases

At inception of a contract, the Company assesses whether a contract is, or contains, a lease. A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset over a period of time in exchange for consideration. The Company assesses whether the contract involves the use of an identified asset, whether it has the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from the use of the asset during the term of the contract and it has the right to direct the use of the asset.

The right-of-use asset is subsequently depreciated from the commencement date to the earlier of the end of the lease term, or the end of the useful life of the asset. The right-of-use asset may be reduced due to impairment losses, if any, and adjusted for certain remeasurements of the lease liability.

A lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the commencement date discounted by the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined the incremental borrowing rate. The lease liability is subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability comprise of fixed payments, variable lease payments, and amounts expected to be payable at the end of the lease term.

The Company has elected not to recognize the right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for short-term leases that have a lease term of twelve months or less. The lease payments associated with these leases are charged directly to income on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Future standards not yet adopted

IFRS 18 Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements

In April 2024, the IASB issued IFRS 18 Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements (“IFRS 18”) which replaces IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements. This standard aims to improve how companies communicate in their financial statements, with a focus on information about financial performance in the statement of profit or loss, in particular additional defined subtotals, disclosures about management-defined performance measures and new principles for aggregation and disaggregation of information. IFRS 18 is accompanied by limited amendments to the requirements in IAS 7 Statement of Cash Flows. IFRS 18 is effective from January 1, 2027. Companies are permitted to apply IFRS 18 before that date. The Company is currently assessing the impact the new standard will have on its consolidated financial statements.

Disaggregated Revenues

The Company disaggregates revenue by timing of revenue recognition, that is, at a point in time and revenue over time. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company recognized $569,925 and $1,073,314 (2025 - $268,469 and $435,229) respectively from non-recurring engineering services and product sales. The NRE is recognized over time while the product sales are recorded at a point in time.

The following table reflects the details of prepaids and other current assets:

On December 31, 2024, the Company acquired Xiamen Sanan Integrated Circuit Co, Ltd.’s (“Sanan IC’s”) 24.8% interest in SPX in exchange for a convertible debt of $6,500,000. The acquisition cost will be paid over a period of five (5) years. The unpaid balances are interest free and will be settled based on the following schedule:

At any time before the convertible debt is fully settled, Sanan IC has the right to convert any remaining unpaid amounts due into shares of common stock of the Company. The conversion shall be executed at a conversion price equal to the greater of: (a) the volume weighted average closing price (“VWAP”) of the common stock of the Company as reported by the NASDAQ Capital Market for thirty (30) days prior to the conversion date, or (b) the closing price of the common stock of the Company as reported by the NASDAQ Capital Market the day prior to the conversion date.

The acquisition of Sanan IC’s 24.8% interest in SPX, under which the Company obtains full control over SPX, was determined to be an asset acquisition because SPX did not meet the threshold of a business as defined by IFRS 3.

The Company determined that the convertible debt represents a hybrid financial instrument that contains 1) a host debt principal component, 2) a market price conversion feature that is a non-derivative with a value of nil that is not separable from the host debt and, 3) the VWAP conversion option that is a derivative with a nil value. As Sanan IC can exercise the conversion option at any time, the convertible debt is classified as current liability.
