VUZIX CORPORATION

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1 – Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of Vuzix Corporation (“the Company”) have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Accordingly, the unaudited consolidated financial statements do not include all information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Certain re-classifications may have been made to prior periods to conform with current reporting. The results of the Company’s operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results of the Company’s operations for the full fiscal year or any other period.

The accompanying interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto of the Company as of December 31, 2020, as reported in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 15, 2021.

Customer Concentrations

For the three months ended June 30, 2021, no one customer represented more than 10% of total product revenue and one customer represented 100% of engineering services revenue. For the three months ended June 30, 2020, no one customer represented more than 10% of total product revenue and two customers represented 100% of engineering services revenue.

For the six months ended June 30, 2021, no one customer represented more than 10% of total product revenue and two customers represented 100% of engineering services revenue. For the six months ended June 30, 2020, no one customer represented more than 10% of total product revenue and two customers represented 100% of engineering services revenue.

As of June 30, 2021, two customers represented 13% and 10% of accounts receivable. As of December 31, 2020, two customers represented 21% and 14% of accounts receivable.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326). ASU 2016-13 provides for a new impairment model which requires measurement and recognition of expected credit losses for most financial assets and certain other instruments, including but not limited to accounts receivable. ASU 2016-13 will become effective for the Company on January 1, 2023 and early adoption is permitted. The Company does not anticipate that the adoption of this standard will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Significant Judgments

Under Topic 606 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”, we use judgments that could potentially impact both the timing of our satisfaction of performance obligations and our determination of transaction prices used in determining revenue recognized by major product line. Such judgments include considerations in determining our transaction prices and when our performance obligations are satisfied for our standard product sales that include an end-user 30-day right to return if not satisfied with product and general payment terms that are between Net 30 and 60 days. For our Engineering Services, performance obligations are recognized over time using the input method and the estimated costs to complete each project are considered significant judgments.

Performance Obligations

Revenues from our performance obligations are typically satisfied at a point in time for Smart Glasses, Waveguides and Display Engines, and our OEM Products, which are recognized when the customer obtains control and ownership, which is generally upon shipment. The Company also records revenue for performance obligations relating to our Engineering Services over time by using the input method measuring progress toward satisfying the performance obligations. Satisfaction of our performance obligations related to our Engineering Services is measured by the Company’s costs incurred as a percentage of total expected costs to project completion as the inputs of actual costs incurred by the Company are directly correlated with progress of completing the contract. As such, the Company believes that our methodologies for recognizing revenue over time for our Engineering Services correlate directly with the transfer of control of the underlying assets to our customers.

Our standard product sales include a twelve (12) month assurance-type product warranty. In the case of certain of our OEM products and waveguide sales, some include a standard product warranty of up to eighteen (18) months to allow distribution channels to offer the end customer a full twelve (12) months of coverage. We offer extended warranties to customers, which extend the standard product warranty on product sales for an additional twelve (12) month period. All revenue related to extended product warranty sales is deferred and recognized over the extended warranty period. Our Engineering Services contracts vary from contract to contract but typically include payment terms of Net 30 days from date of billing, subject to an agreed upon customer acceptance period.

Remaining Performance Obligations

As of June 30, 2021, the Company had no outstanding performance obligations under its engineering services and waveguide development projects, as all projects were completed and delivered in the first half of 2021. In addition, the Company had no materially outstanding performance obligations related to product sales, other than its standard product warranty.

Note 3 – Loss Per Share

Basic loss per share is computed by dividing the loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution from the assumed exercise of stock options and warrants, and the conversion of convertible preferred shares. During periods of net loss, all common stock equivalents are excluded from the diluted EPS calculation because they are anti-dilutive. Since the Company reported a net loss for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, the calculation for basic and diluted earnings per share is considered to be the same, as the impact of potential common shares is anti-dilutive. At June 30, 2021 and 2020, there were 8,584,030 and 14,147,580 common stock share equivalents, respectively, potentially issuable under conversion of preferred shares, options, and warrants that could dilute basic earnings per share in the future.

In December 2020, the Company renewed its global non-exclusive master reseller agreement (MRA) for certain smart glasses software under which it committed to sell a minimum number of new software licenses in 2021, as well as the unsold remainder from 2020. The amount capitalized, included in current assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, will be expensed to cost of sales - products sold during the period based upon actual software licenses sold, with any of the remaining prepaid licenses expensed at the end of the term of the MRA.

The Company acquired two licenses in 2017. The first related to the renegotiation of an existing license at a cost of $114,967, which resulted in lower royalty rates being paid by the Company over the next 10 years. This license went into effect as of January 1, 2018. The second license was a result of the Company entering into a Technology Purchase and Royalty Agreement where it acquired all the seller’s right, title and interest in certain Transferred Intellectual Property (IP). Pursuant to the agreement, the Company paid approximately $75,702 as reimbursement of related patent application costs incurred by the seller to date, which are included in Patents and Trademarks. The Company also issued 25,000 shares of common stock, valued at $128,750, upon the closing and agreed to certain further share issuances of 75,000 shares based upon the achievement of certain development milestones as well as per unit royalties once the technology was commercialized for the life of the related patents. In June 2021, the Company purchased outright the obligations for ongoing royalties and certain other intellectual property rights in connection with consulting services by the original seller in exchange for the issuance of 75,000 shares with an assigned market value of $18.73 per share. The underlying technology is not yet ready for commercialization, but the Company intends to proceed with further research and development work over the next 2 to 3 years.

On October 4, 2018, the Company entered into amendment No. 1 to agreements (the “TDG Amendment”) with TDG Acquisition Company, LLC (“TDG”), aka Six15 Technologies, LLC. The TDG Amendment amends certain provisions of prior agreements between Vuzix and TDG, including an asset purchase agreement dated June 15, 2012, and an authorized reseller agreement dated June 15, 2012.

Pursuant to the TDG Amendment, the Company is permitted to engage in sales of heads-up display components or subsystems (and any services to support such sale) for incorporation into a finished good or system for sale to military organizations, subject to certain conditions. The Company is also permitted to sell its products to defense and security organizations that include business customers and governmental entity customers that primarily provide security and defense services, including police, fire fighters, EMTs, other first responders, and homeland and border security. The Company will owe TDG commissions with respect to all such sales until June 15, 2022, when the amendment and

Note 8 – Income Taxes

The Company’s effective income tax rate is a combination of federal, state and foreign tax rates and differs from the U.S. statutory rate due to taxes on foreign income, permanent differences including tax-exempt interest, and the resolution of tax uncertainties, offset by a valuation allowance against U.S. deferred income tax assets.

The weighted average remaining contractual term for all options as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 was 8.1 years and 6.5 years, respectively.

As of June 30, 2021, there were 903,208 options that were fully-vested and exercisable at a weighted average exercise price of $4.59 per share. The weighted average remaining contractual term of the vested options is 6.0 years.

As of June 30, 2021, there were 1,894,222 unvested options exercisable at a weighted average exercise price of $8.92 per share. The weighted average remaining contractual term of the unvested options is 9.1 years.

The weighted average fair value of option grants was calculated using the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing method. At June 30, 2021, the Company had $11,960,874 of unrecognized stock compensation expense, which will be recognized over a weighted average period of 3.6 years.

During the three months ended June 30, 2021, the Company issued 68,047 shares of common stock to its independent board members as part of their annual retainer for services covering the period of July 2021 to June 2022 and for onboarding of the new directors. The fair market value on the date of award of the stock issued was $16.90, resulting in an aggregate fair value of approximately $1,150,000. The fair market value of these awards is expensed over twelve (12) months for 59,170 shares and twenty-four (24) months for 8,877 shares beginning on July 1, 2021.

For the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company recorded total stock-based compensation expense, including stock awards but excluding awards under the Company’s Long-term Incentive Plan, of $1,012,094 and $639,358, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company recorded total stock-based compensation expense, including stock awards, of $1,468,838 and $941,933, respectively.

Note 12 – Long-term Incentive Plan

On March 17, 2021, the Company granted options to purchase a total of 5,784,000 shares of common stock to its officers and certain other members of its management team. The options were granted under the Company’s existing 2014 Incentive Stock Plan. The options have an exercise price of $19.00, with 375,000 options vesting immediately and the remaining portion vesting upon the achievement of certain equity market capitalization milestones, and revenue and EBITDA operational milestones. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company recorded non-cash stock-based compensation expense of $1,649,461 and $4,214,753, respectively, for options that vested or are probable to vest. There was no stock-based compensation expense related to the Company’s Long-term Incentive Plan in the comparable periods in 2020.

The fair value of option grants was calculated using a Monte Carlo simulation on the equity market capitalization tranches and the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing method on the operational milestone tranches. As of June 30, 2021, we had $16,082,477 of total unrecognized stock-based compensation expense for the portion of options

13

Table of Contents

tied to equity market capitalization milestones and the portion of options tied to operational milestones that were considered probable of achievement, all of which will be recognized over a service period of 1 to 4 years. The probabilities of the milestones achievement are subject to catch-adjustments in each instance where an equity market capitalization milestone is achieved or when an operational milestone becomes probable to be achieved or is achieved. If such milestones are achieved earlier in their expected service periods, the remaining unrecognized compensation expense related to that particular milestone would be accelerated and recognized in full during the period where that achievement is certified by the Board of Directors. As of June 30, 2021, and going forward, should all of the operational milestones which are currently not yet deemed probable of achievement become probable of achievement or achieved, the Company could ultimately recognize up to an additional $32.9 million in non-cash stock-based compensation expense at such time.

The equity market and operational milestones under the LTIP with their related option grants and criteria achievement weightings of the options available for meeting a target are as follows:

Item 2.Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

You should read the following discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations in conjunction with the financial statements and related notes appearing elsewhere in this quarterly report and in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.

As used in this report, unless otherwise indicated, the terms “Company,” “Vuzix”, “management,” “we,” “our,” and “us” refer to Vuzix Corporation.

Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Developments and Estimates

The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our unaudited consolidated financial statements and related notes appearing elsewhere in this quarterly report. The preparation of these statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires the appropriate application of certain accounting policies, many of which require us to make estimates and assumptions about future events and their impact on amounts reported in our consolidated financial statements, including the statement of operations, balance sheet, cash flow and related notes. We continually evaluate our estimates used in the preparation of our financial statements, including those related to revenue recognition, bad debts, inventories, warranty reserves, product warranty, carrying value of long-lived assets, fair value measurement of financial instruments, valuation of stock compensation awards, and income taxes. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not apparent from other sources. Since future events and their impact cannot be determined with certainty, the actual results will inevitably differ from our estimates. Such differences could be material to the consolidated financial statements.

We believe that our application of accounting policies, and the estimates inherently required therein, are reasonable. We periodically re-evaluate these accounting policies and estimates and make adjustments when facts and circumstances dictate a change. Historically, we have found our application of accounting policies to be appropriate, and actual results have not differed materially from those determined using necessary estimates.

Management believes certain factors and trends are important in understanding our financial performance. The critical accounting policies, judgments and estimates that we believe have the most significant effect on our consolidated financial statements are:

Valuation of inventories;
Carrying value of long-lived assets;
Software development costs;
Revenue recognition;
Product warranty;

15

Table of Contents

Stock-based compensation; and
Income taxes.

Our accounting policies are more fully described in the notes to our consolidated financial statements included in this quarterly report and in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020. There have been no significant changes in our accounting policies for the three months ended June 30, 2021.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have, or are reasonably likely to have, an effect on our financial condition, financial statements, revenues or expenses.

Business Matters

We are engaged in the design, manufacture, marketing and sale of wearable computing devices and augmented reality wearable display devices also referred to as head mounted displays (or HMDs), heads-up display (HUDs) or near-eye displays, in the form of Smart Glasses and Augmented Reality (AR) glasses. Our wearable display devices are worn like eyeglasses or attach to a head-worn mount. These devices typically include cameras, sensors, and a computer that enable the user to view, record and interact with video and digital content, such as computer data, the Internet, social media or entertainment applications. Our wearable display products integrate display technology with our advanced optics to produce compact high-resolution display engines, less than half an inch diagonally, which when viewed through our Smart Glasses products create virtual images that appear comparable in size to that of a computer monitor or a large-screen television.

With respect to our Smart Glasses and AR products, we are focused on the enterprise, industrial, commercial, security, first responder, medical markets, and, to a lesser degree, defense markets. We also provide custom solutions and engineering services to third parties, including OEMs, of waveguides to enable fully integrated wearable display systems, including head mounted displays to commercial, industrial and defense customers. We do not offer “work for hire” services but rather offer our services for projects that we expect could result in advancing our technology or lead to a long-term supply or OEM relationship.

All of the mobile display and wearable and mobile electronics markets in which we compete, including mobile and wearable displays and electronics, have been and continue to be subject to consistent and rapid technological change, with ever greater capabilities and performance and, in many cases, including mobile devices with larger screen sizes and improved display resolutions, as well as declining prices on mobile devices. As a result, we must continue to improve our products’ performance and lower our costs. We believe our intellectual property portfolio gives us a leadership position in the design and manufacturing of micro-display projection engines, waveguides, mechanical packaging, ergonomics, and optical systems.

Impact of COVID-19

The implications of COVID-19 on our results from operations going forward remain uncertain. The COVID-19 pandemic still has the ongoing potential to cause adverse effects to our customers, suppliers or business partners in locations that have or will experience more pronounced disruptions, which could result in a reduction to future revenue and manufacturing output as well as delays in our new product development activities. Recent increases in demand for certain chips within various technology sectors and other industries has been one of the ripple effects of the COVID crisis that is causing shortages of certain chips and negatively impacting many companies’ supply chains and ability to maintain or grow their production to meet market demands. At this time, we are operating successfully but are seeing longer component lead times which is increasing risk in our supply chain as well as the need to carry more component inventories and make earlier purchase commitments for further purchase components.

Sales of Smart Glasses products rose by 21% in the three months ended June 30, 2021, primarily as a result of continued growth of our M400 model and the new M4000 Smart Glasses sales, as compared to the same period in 2020. Sales revenues from our M-Series Smart Glasses were $2,399,608, a 16% increase of $325,163 over the prior year’s quarter. Revenues of Blade Smart Glasses increased by $173,053 or 77% in the three months ended June 30, 2021 versus 2020 primarily driven by a 108% increase in unit sales offset by a slightly lower selling prices on our Blade Upgraded model that we introduced at the end of the third quarter in 2020, as compared to the previous Blade model, which we discontinued in the fall of 2020.

Sales of Engineering Services for the three months ended June 30, 2021 were $82,894 as compared to $701,654 in the 2020 period. The revenue recognized in the three months ended June 30, 2021 for engineering services was substantially a result of a waveguide and projector development project for a micro-display organization, which commenced in the third quarter of 2020 and was completed in the second quarter of 2021.

Cost of Sales and Gross Profit. Cost of product sales and engineering services are comprised of materials, components, labor, warranty costs, freight costs, manufacturing overhead, software royalties, and the non-cash amortization of software development costs related to the production of our products and rendering of engineering services. The following table reflects the components of our cost of goods sold for products:

For the three months ended June 30, 2021, we reported an overall gross profit from product sales of $510,320 as compared to $212,860 in the same period in 2020. On a product cost of sales basis only, product direct costs were 47% of sales in the 2021 period as compared to 50% in 2020. Overall total product margin was also positively impacted by a reduction in warranty provision of $9,680 for the three months ended June 30, 2021 as compared to the same period in 2020, as the Company continued to realize lower than expected warranty returns primarily on its M-400 series.

Sales of Smart Glasses products rose by 79% or $2,932,115 in the six months ended June 30, 2021, primarily as a result of the continued growth of our M400 model and the new M4000 Smart Glasses sales, as compared to the same period in 2020. Sales revenues from our M-Series Smart Glasses were $5,808,389, a 181% increase of $2,615,986, over the prior year’s period. Revenues of Blade Smart Glasses increased by $303,278 or 65% in the six months ended June 30, 2021 versus 2020 primarily driven by a 61% increase in unit sales of our Blade Upgraded model as compared to the previous Blade model, which we discontinued in the fall of 2020.

Sales of Engineering Services for the six months ended June 30, 2021 were $193,113 as compared to $861,860 in the 2020 period.

For the six months ended June 30, 2021, we reported an overall gross profit from product sales of $1,495,519 as compared to $158,332 in the same period in 2020. On a product cost of sales basis only, product direct costs were 50% of sales in the 2021 period as compared to 52% in 2020. Positively impacting overall product sales margin was the absorption of our relatively fixed overhead costs over a significantly larger sales base. Total product margin was also positively impacted by a gain of $29,874 on warranty provision for the six months ended June 30, 2021, as the Company continued to realize lower than expected warranty returns primarily on its M-400 series.

Manufacturing overhead costs while increasing by $364,662 or 41% for the six months ended June 30, 2021 over the 2020 comparable period, decreased to 19% from 24% in the same period in 2020 as a percentage of total product sales. The increase in these overhead costs is primarily due to additional manufacturing supply chain and quality assurance personnel and non-cash stock-based compensation expense.

General and administrative costs for the six months ended June 30, 2021 increased by $5,115,979 or 153% as compared to the same period in 2020. This increase in costs was due to the following factors: a net increase in salary and salary benefits related expenses of $4,440,590, of which $4,232,372 was related to non-cash stock-based compensation with the Company’s new LTIP, which was not in place in 2020, representing $3,973,902 of the non-cash increase; an increase in IR and shareholder related expenses of $337,148; an increase of $232,553 in legal expenses; an increase of $182,475 in recruitment and hiring fees; an increase of $103,572 in regulatory filing fees with the SEC and FINRA; and an increase of $100,330 in insurance premiums; partially offset by a decrease in travel related expenses of $73,714.

Depreciation and Amortization.  Depreciation and amortization expense for the six months ended June 30, 2021 was $1,019,090 as compared to $1,289,253 in the same period in 2020, a decrease of $270,163. The decrease in

Table of Contents

depreciation expense is primarily due to leasehold improvements in our West Henrietta, New York location, which became fully amortized in October 2020.

Other Expense. Total other expense was $103,581 for the six months ended June 30, 2021 as compared to $23,173 in the same period in 2020, an increase of $80,408. The overall increase in other expenses was primarily the result of an increase in foreign exchange losses of $61,324 and a decrease of $13,641 in investment interest income, as interest rates on average were lower in the six months ended June 30, 2021 as compared to the same period of 2020.

trends in our operating expenses, including personnel costs, research and development expense, sales and marketing expense, and general and administrative expense;
the effect of competitors and competition in our markets;
our wearable smart glasses products and their market acceptance and future potential;

trends in revenue, costs of revenue, and gross margin and our possible or assumed future results of operations;
our ability to attract and retain highly skilled employees;
the impact of foreign currency exchange rates;
the effect of future regulations;
the sufficiency of our existing cash and cash equivalent balances and cash flow from operations to meet our working capital and capital expenditure needs for at least the next 12 months; and

All statements in this quarterly report that are not historical facts are forward-looking statements. We may, in some cases, use terms such as “anticipates,” “believes,” “could,” “estimates,” “expects,” “intends,” “may,” “plans,” “potential,” “predicts,” “projects,” “should,” “will,” “would” or similar expressions that convey uncertainty of future events or outcomes to identify forward-looking statements.

All such forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties and should be evaluated in light of important risk factors that may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performances or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. These risk factors include, but are not limited to, those that are described in “Risk Factors” in this report and under Item 1A and elsewhere in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 and other filings we make with the Securities and Exchange Commission and the following: business and economic conditions, rapid technological changes accompanied by frequent new product introductions, competitive pressures, dependence on key customers, inability to gauge order flows from customers, fluctuations in quarterly and annual results, the reliance on a limited number of third party suppliers, limitations of our manufacturing capacity and arrangements, the protection of our proprietary technology, the effects of pending or threatened litigation, the dependence on key personnel, changes in critical accounting estimates, potential impairments related to investments, foreign regulations, liquidity issues, and potential material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting. Further, during weak or uncertain economic periods, customers may delay the placement of their orders. These factors often result in a substantial portion of our revenue being derived from orders placed within a quarter and shipped in the final month of the same quarter.

We caution readers to carefully consider such factors. Many of these factors are beyond our control. In addition, any forward-looking statements represent our estimates only as of the date they are made and should not be relied upon as representing our estimates as of any subsequent date. While we may elect to update forward-looking statements at some point in the future, except as may be required under applicable securities laws, we specifically disclaim any obligation to do so.

Item 3.Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

We invest our excess cash in high-quality short-term corporate debt instruments, which bear lower levels of relative risk. We believe that the effect, if any, of reasonably possible near-term changes in interest rates on our financial position, results of operations, and cash flows should not be material to our cash flows or income. It is possible that interest rate movements would increase our unrealized gain or loss on interest rate securities. We are exposed to changes in foreign currency exchange rates primarily through transaction gains and losses as a result of non-U.S. dollar denominated cash flows related to business activities in Japan and Europe. We do not currently hedge our foreign currency exchange rate risk. We estimate that any market risk associated with our international operations is unlikely to have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operation.
