The Company specializes in developing proprietary pulsed laser technology with two principal applications: (i) inertial laser fusion energy directed toward clean baseload power generation, and (ii) directed energy defense applications utilizing the Company’s pulsed Optical Enhancement Cavity (“OEC”) fiber laser. </div><div style="text-align: justify; font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;">The Company has not yet commenced its commercial manufacturing and principal related operations. Since inception, the Company’s activities have consisted predominantly of research and development of its proprietary laser technology, related development on reactors, targets, and applications, securing intellectual property, recruiting scientific and engineering personnel, and raising capital to fund those activities through Series Seed Preferred financing. In 2024, the Company was awarded a U.S. Department of Energy INFUSE (Innovation Network for Fusion Energy) project in collaboration with the California Institute of Technology. To date, the Company has generated only minimal revenue, which has been derived from licensing its proprietary radiation-hydrodynamics simulation software to a research institution in Japan under a <div style="white-space: nowrap; letter-spacing: 0px; top: 0px;display:inline;">six-month</div> license arrangement; the Company does not yet generate revenue from its planned principal operations. </div><div style="text-align: justify; font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><div style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; letter-spacing: 0px; top: 0px;display:inline;">Research and development activities are conducted principally in the United States, at the Company’s laser facility in Goleta, California. In March 2024, the Company established Blue Laser Fusion GK, a wholly owned subsidiary in Japan to expand the Company’s research and development personnel and capabilities, with operations conducted from an office in Tokyo and through a research collaboration with Osaka University. The Company’s ability to achieve fusion are subject to significant risks and uncertainties, which are discussed further in Note 2, but has successful in advancing the proprietary pulsed laser to achieve enhancement. </div></div> <div style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; font-weight: bold; margin-top: 10pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><div style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; letter-spacing: 0px; top: 0px;display:inline;">Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies </div></div><div style="text-align: justify; font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><div style="letter-spacing: 0px; top: 0px;display:inline;"><div style="font-weight:bolder;display:inline;">Basis of presentation and consolidation </div></div>– The accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Company have been presented in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP) and include the accounts of the Company. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated upon consolidation. These consolidated financial statements are presented in U.S. dollars. </div><div style="text-align: justify; font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><div style="letter-spacing: 0px; top: 0px;display:inline;"><div style="font-weight:bolder;display:inline;">Use of estimates </div></div>– The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. </div><div style="text-align: justify; font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><div style="letter-spacing: 0px; top: 0px;display:inline;"><div style="font-weight:bolder;display:inline;">Liquidity </div></div>– As of December 31, 2025, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $16.5 million. The Company has historically funded its operations primarily through the issuance of preferred stock and expects to continue to fund operations through existing cash on hand and, if necessary, additional equity financings. </div><div style="text-align: justify; font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><div style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; letter-spacing: 0px; top: 0px;display:inline;">Management has prepared cash flow forecasts and believes that the Company’s existing c<div style="display:inline;">a</div>sh and cash equivalents will be sufficient to meet its operating requirements and obligations for at least twelve months from the date the financial statements are available to be issued. </div></div><div style="font-size: 8pt; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><div style="font-size: 8pt; letter-spacing: 0px; top: 0px;display:inline;"> </div></div><div style="text-align: center; font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><div style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; letter-spacing: 0px; top: 0px;display:inline;"></div></div><div style="font-size: 8pt; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"></div><div style="text-align: center; font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><div style="display:inline;"><div style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; letter-spacing: 0px; top: 0px;display:inline;"> </div></div></div><div style="text-align: justify; font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><div style="letter-spacing: 0px; top: 0px;display:inline;"><div style="font-weight:bolder;display:inline;">Certain risks and uncertainties </div></div>– The Company is subject to a number of risks similar to other companies in a comparable stage of development, including the need for successful commercialization and demand for the Company’s future products and services; reliance on key personnel; competition from other companies with greater financial; technical, and research and development resources; and the risks relating to the ability to secure adequate financing. </div><div style="text-align: justify; font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><div style="letter-spacing: 0px; top: 0px;display:inline;"><div style="font-weight:bolder;display:inline;">Cash and cash equivalents </div></div>– Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash deposits and money market accounts with original maturities of three months or less held at major depository institutions. Cash and cash equivalents are stated at cost, which approximates fair value. </div><div style="text-align: justify; font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><div style="letter-spacing: 0px; top: 0px;display:inline;"><div style="font-weight:bolder;display:inline;">Prepaid expenses </div></div>– Prepaid expenses at December 31, 2025 and 2024, consist primarily of prepaid research expenses and other miscellaneous prepaid expenses. </div><div style="text-align: justify; font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><div style="letter-spacing: 0px; top: 0px;display:inline;"><div style="font-weight:bolder;display:inline;">Fair value of financial instruments </div></div>– Financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents. The Company has established a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. These tiers include Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets; Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable; and Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions. </div><div style="text-align: justify; font-family: Arial;

Impairment is assessed in a <div style="white-space: nowrap; letter-spacing: 0px; top: 0px;display:inline;">two-step</div> process. First, recoverability is tested by comparing the carrying amount of the asset (or asset group) to the sum of the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset (or asset group) over its remaining useful life. If the carrying amount of the asset (or asset group) exceeds the sum of its estimated undiscounted future cash flows, the asset (or asset group) is considered not recoverable. Second, if the asset (or asset group) is determi<div style="display:inline;">n</div>ed not to be recoverable, an impairment loss is recognized equal to the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the fair value of the asset (or asset group). Fair value is measured in accordance with ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement, using quoted market prices when available, or, when quoted prices are not available, other valuation techniques such as discounted cash flow analyses based on Level 3 inputs. The adjusted carrying amount of the asset becomes its new cost basis and is depreciated over the asset’s remaining useful life.

Lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. </div><div style="text-align: justify; font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><div style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; letter-spacing: 0px; top: 0px;display:inline;">Lease liabilities are measured at the present value of lease payments not yet paid, discounted using the Company’s incremental borrowing rate (“IBR”) at the commencement date (or the effective date of a modification, as applicable), as the rate implicit in the Company’s leases is not readily determinable. The IBR is the rate of interest that the Company would have to pay to borrow, on a collateralized basis, over a similar term, an amount equal to the lease payments in a similar economic environment. ROU assets are measured at the amount of the lease liability, adjusted for any lease payments made at or before commencement, lease incentives received, and initial direct costs incurred. </div></div><div style="text-align: justify; font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;">Lease terms include the noncancellable period of the lease plus any periods covered by options to extend (or not terminate) the lease that the Company is reasonably certain to exercise. The Company evaluates renewal and termination options at lease commencement and upon occurrence of a triggering event. When the Company exercises a renewal option that was not previously included in the lease term, the lease is remeasured as of the modification date using the IBR in effect at that date. The Company has elected the practical expedient under ASC <div style="white-space: nowrap; letter-spacing: 0px; top: 0px;display:inline;"><div style="white-space: nowrap;display:inline;"><div style="white-space: nowrap; letter-spacing: 0px; top: 0px;display:inline;">842-10-15-37</div></div></div> to not separate <div style="white-space: nowrap; letter-spacing: 0px; top: 0px;display:inline;">non-lease</div> components from lease components for all classes of underlying assets, and instead accounts for each lease component and the associated <div style="white-space: nowrap; letter-spacing: 0px; top: 0px;display:inline;">non-lease</div> components as a single lease component. </div><div style="text-align: justify; font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><div style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; letter-spacing: 0px; top: 0px;display:inline;">The Company has elected the short-term lease recognition exemption for leases with a term of 12 months or less at commencement that do not include a purchase option the Company is reasonably certain to exercise. Short-term lease payments are recognized as expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term. </div></div><div style="text-align: justify; font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><div style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; letter-spacing: 0px; top: 0px;display:inline;">Operating lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Variable lease payments that do not depend on an index or rate, including the Company’s share of building operating expenses and common area maintenance charges, are expensed as incurred and are not included in the measurement of lease liabilities. </div></div><div style="text-align: justify; font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><div style="letter-spacing: 0px; top: 0px;display:inline;"><div style="font-weight:bolder;display:inline;">Stock-based compensation </div></div>– The Company accounts for stock-based compensation under ASC Topic 718 a<div style="display:inline;">nd </div>recognizes stock-based compensation expense for both employee and <div style="white-space: nowrap; letter-spacing: 0px; top: 0px;display:inline;">non-employee</div> awards based on the grant date fair value of the awards. The Company recognizes stock-based compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the awards, which is generally the vesting period. The Company recognizes forfeitures as they occur. Stock options granted under the 2022 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2022 Plan”) have a maximum contractual term of ten years. </div><div style="font-size: 8pt; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><div style="font-size: 8pt; letter-spacing: 0px; top: 0px;display:inline;"> </div></div><div style="text-align: center; font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><div style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; letter-spacing: 0px; top: 0px;display:inline;"></div></div><div style="text-align: center; font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><div style="display:inline;"><div style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; letter-spacing: 0px; top: 0px;display:inline;"> </div></div></div><div style="text-align: justify; font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><div style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; letter-spacing: 0px; top: 0px;display:inline;">The Plan also provides for the issuance of restricted stock awards. Shares of restricted stock that are purchased at fair value, as determined by the Board of Directors on the date of purchase, have no compensation element, and accordingly, no stock-based compensation expense is recognized for such awards. See Note 9 for additional information regarding the Company’s stock-based compensation arrangements. </div></div><div style="text-align: justify; font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><div style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; letter-spacing: 0px; top: 0px;display:inline;">The Company classifies stock-based compensation expense in its consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss in the same manner in which the award recipients’ payroll costs are classified or in which the award recipients’ service payments are classified. </div></div><div style="text-align: justify; font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;">The Company estimates the fair value of stock options granted to employees and <div style="white-space: nowrap; letter-spacing: 0px; top: 0px;display:inline;">non-employees</div> as of the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The Company does not have sufficient trading history to use its own historical volatility and therefore estimates the expected stock price volatility based on the historical volatility of a publicly traded group of peer companies. The expected term of the Company’s stock option awards is estimated using the “simplified” method in accordance with ASC Topic 718, as the Company does not have sufficient historical exercise data to provide a reasonable basis for estimating the expected term. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant for time periods approximately equal to the expected term of the award. Expected dividend yield is zero, as the Company has not paid and does not anticipate paying cash dividends on its common stock in the foreseeable future. </div><div style="text-align: justify; font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><div style="letter-spacing: 0px; top: 0px;display:inline;"><div style="font-weight:bolder;display:inline;">Foreign currency translation </div></div>– The financial statements of the Company’s international subsidiary with local functional currencies are translated from its local functional currency to U.S. dollars upon consolidation. Assets and liabilities are translated using the exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date. Equity accounts are translated at historical exchange rates. Revenue and expense accounts are translated using the weighted-average exchange rates during the period. The resulting cumulative translation adjustments are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss in the accompanying consolidated statements of stockholders’ deficit. For the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company recorded foreign currency translation adjustments of $10,876 and $10,141, respectively, within accumulated other comprehensive loss. </div><div style="text-align: justify; font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><div style="letter-spacing: 0px; top: 0px;display:inline;"><div style="font-weight:bolder;display:inline;">Segments - </div></div>In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU <div style="white-space: nowrap; letter-spacing: 0px; top: 0px;display:inline;">No. 2023-07,</div> “Segment Reporting (ASC Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures.” This amended guidance applies to all public entities and aims to im<div style="display:inline;">p</div>rove reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses, to enable investors to develop more decision-useful financial analyses. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023 and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024.

The Company has one reportable segment.

The CODM assesses the financial performance for the Company’s segment based on net loss. The CODM also uses internal budget versus forecasted expense and cash forecast models in making certain decisions. Such models are reviewed to assess the entity-wide/single-segment operating results and performance, including how long cash-on-hand is expected to be sufficient. </div></div><div style="font-size: 8pt; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><div style="font-size: 8pt; letter-spacing: 0px; top: 0px;display:inline;"> </div></div><div style="text-align: center; font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><div style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; letter-spacing: 0px; top: 0px;display:inline;"></div></div><div style="text-align: center; font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><div style="display:inline;"><div style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; letter-spacing: 0px; top: 0px;display:inline;"> </div></div></div><div style="text-align: center; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14pt; font-weight: bold; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;text-indent: 0px;"></div><div style="text-align: justify; font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><div style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; letter-spacing: 0px; top: 0px;display:inline;">The measure of segment assets is reported on the consolidated balance sheet as total assets.

Diluted net loss per share includes the effect, if any, from the potential exercise or conversion of securities, such as stock options and convertible preferred stock, which would result in the issuance of incremental shares of common stock. The Company uses the <div style="white-space: nowrap; letter-spacing: 0px; top: 0px;display:inline;">if-converted</div> method for its convertible preferred stock and the treasury stock method for its stock options when computing diluted net loss per share. </div><div style="text-align: justify; font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><div style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; letter-spacing: 0px; top: 0px;display:inline;">The following potentially dilutive securities outstanding have been excluded from the computation of diluted weighted average shares outstanding, as their inclusion would be anti-dilutive, as there were no earnings attributable to common stockholders. Because the Company incurred a net loss for each of the years presented, all potential common shares were anti-dilutive. Accordingly, diluted net loss per share is the same as basic net loss per share for all periods presented: </div></div><div style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><div style="font-size: 10pt;

Cash and cash equivalents are stated at cost, which approximates fair value. </div> <div style="text-align: justify; font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><div style="letter-spacing: 0px; top: 0px;display:inline;"><div style="font-weight:bolder;display:inline;">Prepaid expenses </div></div>– Prepaid expenses at December 31, 2025 and 2024, consist primarily of prepaid research expenses and other miscellaneous prepaid expenses. </div> <div style="text-align: justify; font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><div style="letter-spacing: 0px; top: 0px;display:inline;"><div style="font-weight:bolder;display:inline;">Fair value of financial instruments </div></div>– Financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents. The Company has established a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. These tiers include Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets; Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable; and Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions. </div><div style="text-align: justify; font-family: Arial;

First, recoverability is tested by comparing the carrying amount of the asset (or asset group) to the sum of the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset (or asset group) over its remaining useful life. If the carrying amount of the asset (or asset group) exceeds the sum of its estimated undiscounted future cash flows, the asset (or asset group) is considered not recoverable.

A valuation allowance is provided when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

The IBR is the rate of interest that the Company would have to pay to borrow, on a collateralized basis, over a similar term, an amount equal to the lease payments in a similar economic environment. ROU assets are measured at the amount of the lease liability, adjusted for any lease payments made at or before commencement, lease incentives received, and initial direct costs incurred. </div></div><div style="text-align: justify; font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;">Lease terms include the noncancellable period of the lease plus any periods covered by options to extend (or not terminate) the lease that the Company is reasonably certain to exercise. The Company evaluates renewal and termination options at lease commencement and upon occurrence of a triggering event. When the Company exercises a renewal option that was not previously included in the lease term, the lease is remeasured as of the modification date using the IBR in effect at that date.

The Company does not have sufficient trading history to use its own historical volatility and therefore estimates the expected stock price volatility based on the historical volatility of a publicly traded group of peer companies. The expected term of the Company’s stock option awards is estimated using the “simplified” method in accordance with ASC Topic 718, as the Company does not have sufficient historical exercise data to provide a reasonable basis for estimating the expected term. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant for time periods approximately equal to the expected term of the award. Expected dividend yield is zero, as the Company has not paid and does not anticipate paying cash dividends on its common stock in the foreseeable future. </div> <div style="text-align: justify; font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><div style="letter-spacing: 0px; top: 0px;display:inline;"><div style="font-weight:bolder;display:inline;">Foreign currency translation </div></div>– The financial statements of the Company’s international subsidiary with local functional currencies are translated from its local functional currency to U.S. dollars upon consolidation.

Revenue and expense accounts are translated using the weighted-average exchange rates during the period. The resulting cumulative translation adjustments are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss in the accompanying consolidated statements of stockholders’ deficit. For the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company recorded foreign currency translation adjustments of $10,876 and $10,141, respectively, within accumulated other comprehensive loss. </div> -10876 -10141 <div style="text-align: justify; font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><div style="letter-spacing: 0px; top: 0px;display:inline;"><div style="font-weight:bolder;display:inline;">Segments - </div></div>In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU <div style="white-space: nowrap; letter-spacing: 0px; top: 0px;display:inline;">No. 2023-07,</div> “Segment Reporting (ASC Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures.” This amended guidance applies to all public entities and aims to im<div style="display:inline;">p</div>rove reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses, to enable investors to develop more decision-useful financial analyses.

Diluted net loss per share includes the effect, if any, from the potential exercise or conversion of securities, such as stock options and convertible preferred stock, which would result in the issuance of incremental shares of common stock. The Company uses the <div style="white-space: nowrap; letter-spacing: 0px; top: 0px;display:inline;">if-converted</div> method for its convertible preferred stock and the treasury stock method for its stock options when computing diluted net loss per share. </div><div style="text-align: justify; font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><div style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; letter-spacing: 0px; top: 0px;display:inline;">The following potentially dilutive securities outstanding have been excluded from the computation of diluted weighted average shares outstanding, as their inclusion would be anti-dilutive, as there were no earnings attributable to common stockholders. Because the Company incurred a net loss for each of the years presented, all potential common shares were anti-dilutive. Accordingly, diluted net loss per share is the same as basic net loss per share for all periods presented: </div></div><div style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><div style="font-size: 10pt;

The 2022 Plan provides for the grant of incentive stock options (“ISOs”), <div style="white-space: nowrap; letter-spacing: 0px; top: 0px;display:inline;">non-statutory</div> stock options (“NSOs”), stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards, restricted stock units and other stock awards to employees, consultants and members of the Board of Directors of the Company and its affiliates.

The Company specializes in developing proprietary pulsed laser technology with two principal applications: (i) inertial laser fusion energy directed toward clean baseload power generation, and (ii) directed energy defense applications utilizing the Company’s pulsed Optical Enhancement Cavity </div><div style="letter-spacing: 0px; top: 0px;display:inline;"><div style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; letter-spacing: 0px; top: 0px;display:inline;">(“OEC”) fiber laser. </div></div></div><div style="text-align: justify; font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;text-indent: 0px;"><div style="letter-spacing: 0px; top: 0px;display:inline;">The Company has not yet commenced its commercial manufacturing and principal related operations. Since inception, the Company’s activities have consisted predominantly of research and development of its proprietary laser technology, related development on reactors, targets, and applications, securing intellectual property, recruiting scientific and engineering personnel, and raising capital to fund those activities through Series <div style="white-space: nowrap; letter-spacing: 0px; top: 0px;display:inline;">Seed-1</div> and Series <div style="white-space: nowrap; letter-spacing: 0px; top: 0px;display:inline;">Seed-2</div> convertible preferred stock financing (“Series Seed Preferred financing”). To date, the Company has generated only minimal revenue, which was derived from licensing its proprietary radiation-hydrodynamics simulation software to a research institution in Japan under a license arrangement. The Company’s revenue earned to date is limited to incidental software licensing. Both of the Company’s principal applications remain in the early-stage research and development phase. The Company is a single operating segment. </div></div><div style="text-align: justify; font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;text-indent: 0px;"><div style="letter-spacing: 0px; top: 0px;display:inline;"><div style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; letter-spacing: 0px; top: 0px;display:inline;">Research and development activities are conducted principally in the United States of America, at the Company’s laser facility in Goleta, California.

As permitted under those rules, certain footnotes or other financial information that are normally required by U.S. GAAP can be condensed or omitted. Accordingly, these unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025 and the related notes, which provide a more complete discussion of the Company’s accounting policies and certain other information.

The Company determined that the software license represents functional intellectual property and recognized the transaction price at a point in time upon delivery of the software to the customer. No revenue was recognized under the 2025 Agreement during the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 or 2025, as the full transaction price was recognized upon delivery in October 2025. The 2025 Agreement expired in accordance with its terms on March 31, 2026. </div></div><div style="text-align: justify; font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><div style="text-indent: 0px; letter-spacing: 0px; top: 0px;display:inline;">On March 19, 2026, the Company entered into a new Software License and Service Agreement (the “2026 Agreement”), pursuant to which the Company granted a limited, <div style="white-space: nowrap; letter-spacing: 0px; top: 0px;display:inline;">non-exclusive,</div> <div style="white-space: nowrap; letter-spacing: 0px; top: 0px;display:inline;">non-transferable</div> license to use its radiation-hydrodynamics simulation software, together with installation, operation, integration and support services, for a twelve-month term commencing April 1, 2026 and terminating March 31, 2027, in exchange for a fixed, <div style="white-space: nowrap; letter-spacing: 0px; top: 0px;display:inline;">non-refundable</div> monthly fee of </div><div style="font-size: 10pt; letter-spacing: 0px; top: 0px;display:inline;">¥</div>1.5<div style="font-size: 10pt; letter-spacing: 0px; top: 0px;display:inline;"> </div><div style="letter-spacing: 0px; top: 0px;display:inline;"><div style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; letter-spacing: 0px; top: 0px;display:inline;">million (approximately</div></div><div style="font-size: 10pt; letter-spacing: 0px; top: 0px;display:inline;"> $</div>10<div style="letter-spacing: 0px; top: 0px;display:inline;"><div style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; letter-spacing: 0px; top: 0px;text-indent: 0px;display:inline;"> thousand).

The 2026 Agreement was entered into upon the expiration of the 2025 Agreement. The Company determined that the software license and the related integration and support services are not distinct within the context of the contract, because the services significantly integrate customer-developed functionality into the licensed software; accordingly, the Company accounts for the arrangement as a single combined performance obligation.

These costs are capitalized within prepaid expenses and other current assets and, upon completion of the financing, will be reclassified to additional <div style="white-space: nowrap; letter-spacing: 0px; top: 0px;display:inline;">paid-in</div> capital as a reduction of the proceeds raised.

Diluted net loss per share includes the effect, if any, from the potential exercise or conversion of securities, such as stock options and convertible preferred stock, which would result in the issuance of incremental shares of common stock. The Company uses the <div style="white-space: nowrap; letter-spacing: 0px; top: 0px;display:inline;">if-converted</div> method for its convertible preferred stock and the treasury stock method for its stock options when computing diluted net loss per share<div style="display:inline;">.</div></div></div><div style="font-size: 10pt; letter-spacing: 0px; top: 0px;display:inline;"></div> <div style="text-align: justify; font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><div style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; letter-spacing: 0px; top: 0px;display:inline;">The following potentially dilutive securities outstanding have been excluded from the computation of diluted weighted average shares outstanding, as their inclusion would be anti-dilutive, as there were no earnings attributable to common stockholders. Because the Company incurred a net loss for each of the periods presented, all potential common shares were anti-dilutive. Accordingly, diluted net loss per share is the same as basic net loss per share for all periods presented: </div></div> <table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="text-align:start; margin: 0px auto;

The Company determined that the software license represents functional intellectual property and recognized the transaction price at a point in time upon delivery of the software to the customer. No revenue was recognized under the 2025 Agreement during the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 or 2025, as the full transaction price was recognized upon delivery in October 2025. The 2025 Agreement expired in accordance with its terms on March 31, 2026. </div></div><div style="text-align: justify; font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><div style="text-indent: 0px; letter-spacing: 0px; top: 0px;display:inline;">On March 19, 2026, the Company entered into a new Software License and Service Agreement (the “2026 Agreement”), pursuant to which the Company granted a limited, <div style="white-space: nowrap; letter-spacing: 0px; top: 0px;display:inline;">non-exclusive,</div> <div style="white-space: nowrap; letter-spacing: 0px; top: 0px;display:inline;">non-transferable</div> license to use its radiation-hydrodynamics simulation software, together with installation, operation, integration and support services, for a twelve-month term commencing April 1, 2026 and terminating March 31, 2027, in exchange for a fixed, <div style="white-space: nowrap; letter-spacing: 0px; top: 0px;display:inline;">non-refundable</div> monthly fee of </div><div style="font-size: 10pt; letter-spacing: 0px; top: 0px;display:inline;">¥</div>1.5<div style="font-size: 10pt; letter-spacing: 0px; top: 0px;display:inline;"> </div><div style="letter-spacing: 0px; top: 0px;display:inline;"><div style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; letter-spacing: 0px; top: 0px;display:inline;">million (approximately</div></div><div style="font-size: 10pt; letter-spacing: 0px; top: 0px;display:inline;"> $</div>10<div style="letter-spacing: 0px; top: 0px;display:inline;"><div style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; letter-spacing: 0px; top: 0px;text-indent: 0px;display:inline;"> thousand).

The 2026 Agreement was entered into upon the expiration of the 2025 Agreement. The Company determined that the software license and the related integration and support services are not distinct within the context of the contract, because the services significantly integrate customer-developed functionality into the licensed software; accordingly, the Company accounts for the arrangement as a single combined performance obligation. Because the customer simultaneously</div></div></div> 1500000 10 18000000 114 <div style="text-align: justify; font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><div style="letter-spacing: 0px; top: 0px;display:inline;"><div style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; letter-spacing: 0px; top: 0px;display:inline;">receives and consumes the benefits of the combined software and support services as the Company performs, the performance obligation is satisfied over time, and the Company recognizes the transaction price straight-line over the twelve-month term. The Company recognized approximately $28,000 of revenue under the 2026 Agreement during the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, representing three months of ratable recognition following commencement on April 1, 2026. </div></div></div><div style="text-align: justify; font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;text-indent: 0px;"><div style="letter-spacing: 0px; top: 0px;display:inline;"><div style="letter-spacing: 0px; top: 0px;display:inline;"><div style="font-weight:bolder;display:inline;">Deferred transaction costs</div></div> – Deferred transaction costs consist of specific, incremental legal, accounting, and other professional fees directly attributable to the Company’s anticipated equity financing.

The Company uses the <div style="white-space: nowrap; letter-spacing: 0px; top: 0px;display:inline;">if-converted</div> method for its convertible preferred stock and the treasury stock method for its stock options when computing diluted net loss per share<div style="display:inline;">.</div></div></div><div style="font-size: 10pt; letter-spacing: 0px; top: 0px;display:inline;"></div> <div style="text-align: justify; font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><div style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; letter-spacing: 0px; top: 0px;display:inline;">The following potentially dilutive securities outstanding have been excluded from the computation of diluted weighted average shares outstanding, as their inclusion would be anti-dilutive, as there were no earnings attributable to common stockholders. Because the Company incurred a net loss for each of the periods presented, all potential common shares were anti-dilutive. Accordingly, diluted net loss per share is the same as basic net loss per share for all periods presented: </div></div> <table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="text-align:start; margin: 0px auto;

The Common Stock has no conversion rights. </div></div> <div style="font-size: 8pt; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><div style="font-size: 8pt; letter-spacing: 0px; top: 0px;display:inline;"> </div></div> <div style="text-align: center; font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><div style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; letter-spacing: 0px; top: 0px;display:inline;"></div></div> <div style="text-align: center; font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><div style="letter-spacing: 0px; top: 0px;display:inline;"><div style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; letter-spacing: 0px; top: 0px;display:inline;"> </div></div></div> <div style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; font-weight: bold; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;text-indent: 0px;"></div><div style="text-align: justify; font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;text-indent: 0px;"><div style="letter-spacing: 0px; top: 0px;display:inline;"><div style="letter-spacing: 0px; top: 0px;display:inline;"><div style="font-weight:bolder;display:inline;">Classification </div></div>– Because the contingent redemption right described above is triggered by events not solely within the Company’s control, the Series <div style="white-space: nowrap; letter-spacing: 0px; top: 0px;display:inline;">Seed-1</div> and Series <div style="white-space: nowrap; letter-spacing: 0px; top: 0px;display:inline;">Seed-2</div> Preferred Stock is classified as temporary equity on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets in accordance with ASC Topic <div style="white-space: nowrap; letter-spacing: 0px; top: 0px;display:inline;">480-10</div> and <div style="display:inline;">Regulation </div><div style="white-space: nowrap; letter-spacing: 0px; top: 0px;display:inline;">S-X</div> Rule 5, without regard to the probability of occurrence. </div></div> 12000000 0.0001 5752800 5752800 10000 218750 5544050 5544050 4100167 9.7557 3876721 3876721 3876721 3876721 64065 7.80456 64065 64065 64065 64065 50000000 <div style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; font-weight: bold; margin-top: 18pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;text-indent: 0px;"><div style="letter-spacing: 0px; top: 0px;display:inline;"><div style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; letter-spacing: 0px; top: 0px;display:inline;">Note 7 – Income Taxes </div></div></div> <div style="letter-spacing: 0px; top: 0px;display:inline;"><div style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; letter-spacing: 0px; top: 0px;text-indent: 0px;display:inline;"></div></div> <div style="text-align: justify; font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;text-indent: 0px;"><div style="letter-spacing: 0px; top: 0px;display:inline;"><div style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; letter-spacing: 0px; top: 0px;display:inline;">The Company recognized an income tax benefit of approximately </div></div><div style="font-size: 10pt; letter-spacing: 0px; top: 0px;display:inline;">$</div>1,578 <div style="letter-spacing: 0px; top: 0px;display:inline;"><div style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; letter-spacing: 0px; top: 0px;display:inline;">and $1,568 </div></div><div style="letter-spacing: 0px; top: 0px;display:inline;"><div style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; letter-spacing: 0px; top: 0px;text-indent: 0px;display:inline;">for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, respectively, and income tax expense of approximately $7,324 and $7,211 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively, resulting in effective tax rates of less than </div></div><div style="font-size: 10pt; letter-spacing: 0px; top: 0px;display:inline;">1</div><div style="font-size: 10pt; letter-spacing: 0px; top: 0px;display:inline;">%</div><div style="letter-spacing: 0px; top: 0px;display:inline;"><div style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; letter-spacing: 0px; top: 0px;text-indent: 0px;display:inline;"> in all periods.
