Lease Default, Settlement, and Related Asset Impairments

The Company leased approximately 27,900 square feet of office space in Centennial, Colorado, with a lease term through June 2025. As of March 31, 2025, the Company was in default under the lease, and the Landlord pursued available remedies in advance of the lease term that expired in June 2025. In April 2025, the Landlord obtained a default judgment against the Company in the amount of $409,278, which accrued interest at a rate of 10% per annum beginning in March 2025 until paid in full.

The Landlord exercised its rights under the lease agreement and applicable law with respect to a lessee in default and such lessee’s assets located on the premises, including the removal and disposal of inventories and property and equipment remaining on the property. As such, during the first quarter of 2025, the Company determined that, based on the assumption that the Landlord would fully exercise its rights with respect to all assets remaining on the premises, (i) it no longer had control over the inventory and that recovery was not probable, therefore,

inventory of $1,526,467 was written down to a net realizable value of zero, (ii) the carrying value of its property and equipment, all of which was at the leased location, was no longer recoverable, and the assets were written down to a net book value of $0 through an impairment of $4,388,279, and (iii) the right-of-use asset associated with this lease was fully impaired, as the Company could no longer use the leased premises, and an impairment of $150,077 was recognized, each of which is recorded within the aggregate $6,064,823 loss on impairment of inventories, property and equipment and operating lease right-of-use asset on the condensed consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss for the six months ended June 30, 2025.

Consistent with the Company’s previously disclosed business plan for its future business, the Company does not believe that assets or equipment that remained on this leased property were critical to its new business strategy, given that it will not be conducting full-scale manufacturing or laser design or development that would involve the prior patent portfolio, which was transferred to its former secured lenders.

Accounts Payable - 3(a)(10) Claims Settlement

In July 2025, the Company entered into a court-approved claims settlement (the “Silverback Claims Settlement”) with Silverback Capital Corporation (“Silverback”) pursuant to Section 3(a)(10) of the Securities Act, under which certain outstanding vendor liabilities were exchanged for shares of Common Stock. The arrangement concluded in October 2025, at which time the parties agreed to settle all remaining obligations through the issuance of shares of Common Stock.
