Unless the context otherwise requires, references to the Company for periods prior to the Merger refer to Private Blue Laser Fusion and its subsidiary. 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><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-weight:bolder;display:inline;"> </div></div> <div style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><div style="null;text-indent: 0px;display:inline;"><div style="letter-spacing: 0px; top: 0px;display:inline;"><div style="font-weight:bolder;display:inline;">The Merger -</div></div> On September 4, 2026 (the “Closing Date”), Unite’s wholly owned subsidiary, Blue Laser Fusion Acquisition Co., a Delaware corporation formed on June 23, 2026 (“Merger Sub”), merged with and into Private Blue Laser Fusion, with Private Blue Laser Fusion surviving as a wholly owned subsidiary of Unite (the “Merger”). Pursuant to the Merger, all of the outstanding capital stock of Private Blue Laser Fusion after giving effect to the conversion of its 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 into Private Blue Laser Fusion common stock immediately prior to the Merger (the “Preferred Conversion”), was converted</div> into 5,488,736 <div style="display:inline;"><div style="font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; font-size: 10pt; letter-spacing: 0px; top: 0px;text-indent: 0px;display:inline;">shares of Unite’s common stock, par value</div></div> $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”), and 505,098 <div style="display:inline;"><div style="font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; font-size: 10pt; letter-spacing: 0px; top: 0px;display:inline;">shares of restricted Common Stock issued in exchange for the restricted stock awards of Private Blue Laser Fusion described in Note 3, in each case at an exchange ratio of </div></div> approximately 0.6314 shares <div style="display:inline;"><div style="font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; font-size: 10pt; letter-spacing: 0px; top: 0px;display:inline;">of Common Stock for each share of Private Blue Laser Fusion common stock (the “Exchange Ratio”), and all outstanding options to purchase Private Blue Laser Fusion common stock were converted into options to purchase Common Stock at the Exchange Ratio. As a result of the Merger, Unite ceased to be a shell company, changed its name to Blue Laser Fusion, Inc. and continues as a public reporting company under that name. Concurrent with the consummation of the Merger, the Company completed the initial closing of a private placement of Common Stock (the “Offering”). </div></div></div> <div style="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Merger was accounted for as a reverse recapitalization, with Private Blue Laser Fusion determined to be the accounting acquirer under Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 805, Business Combinations. Accordingly, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements represent a continuation of the financial statements of Private Blue Laser Fusion. For periods prior to the Merger, the historical common shares of Private Blue Laser Fusion, and all related share, per share and stock option amounts, have been retroactively recast by applying the Exchange Ratio to reflect the capital structure of the Company as the legal parent. The recast affects only share and per share amounts: the carrying amounts of equity are unchanged, and 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> Convertible Preferred Stock remains in temporary equity through the Closing Date, on which the Preferred Conversion was recorded.

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.

Under this method of accounting, Unite, a shell company that did not meet the definition of a business under ASC 805, is treated as the acquired company and the Merger is treated as the equivalent of Private Blue Laser Fusion issuing shares for the net liabilities of Unite, accompanied by a recapitalization. The accounting acquirer was determined primarily on the basis that the former stockholders of Private Blue Laser Fusion hold the largest voting interest in the Company and the ability to appoint a majority of the board of directors, and that Private Blue Laser Fusion’s management holds the executive management roles of the Company and is responsible for its <div style="white-space: nowrap; letter-spacing: 0px; top: 0px;display:inline;"><div style="white-space:nowrap;display:inline;">day-to-day</div></div> operations, which consist of Private Blue Laser Fusion’s activities. </div><div style="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The net liabilities of Unite of $780 thousand, consisting of a note payable and accrued interest of $336 thousand due to Lucius Partners Opportunity Fund, LP, loans payable of $95 thousand due to Lucius Partners LLC, accrued administrative and director fees of $27 thousand and accrued professional fees of $322 thousand, were recognized at historical cost as of the Closing, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded. Operations prior to the Merger are those of Private Blue Laser Fusion, and the accumulated deficit and accumulated other comprehensive loss of Private Blue Laser Fusion have been carried forward after the Closing. The Merger affects the presentation of equity in two respects. First, the historical common shares of Private Blue Laser Fusion and related per share and stock option amounts have been retroactively recast at the Exchange Ratio: the 5,752,800 and 5,745,000 shares previously reported at December 31, 2025 and 2024 are presented as 3,632,165 and 3,627,242 shares of Common Stock, respectively. The recast is shown as a separate line in the condensed consolidated statements of changes in convertible preferred stock and stockholders’ equity (deficit) and does not change any carrying amounts. Second, the convertible preferred stock was not retroactively recast and continues to be presented in temporary equity, at its historical share counts and carrying value, for all periods prior to the Closing Date. On the Closing Date, the Preferred Conversion was recorded by reclassifying <div style="text-indent: 0px; letter-spacing: 0px; top: 0px;display:inline;">the 3,876,721 shares of Series Seed-1 Convertible Preferred Stock and 64,065 shares of Series Seed-2 Convertible Preferred Stock, with an aggregate carrying amount of $38.2 million, from temporary equity to stockholders’ equity, resulting in the issuance of 2,488,103 shares of Common Stock (after giving effect to the Exchange Ratio) and an increase of $38.2 million in Common Stock and additional <div style="white-space: nowrap; letter-spacing: 0px; top: 0px;display:inline;">paid-in</div> capital.</div></div><div style="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman;font-weight:bold">Placement Agent Warrants </div><div style="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In connection with the initial closing of the Offering, the Company became obligated to issue to Laidlaw warrants to purchase 101,619 <div style="letter-spacing: 0px; top: 0px;display:inline;"><div style="font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; font-size: 10pt; letter-spacing: 0px; top: 0px;display:inline;">shares of Common Stock <div style="display:inline;">(90,027</div> in respect to the initial closing and 11,592 in respect to the second closing) at an exercise price </div></div> of $33.00 <div style="letter-spacing: 0px; top: 0px;display:inline;">per share, exercisable for seven years from the applicable closing (the “Placement Agent Warrants”).
