SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES & USE OF ESTIMATES

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES & USE OF ESTIMATES.

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements and notes of Laser Photonics Corporation (the “Company”) are presented in United States dollars and have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim financial information. Accordingly, those do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements, notes and significant accounting policies included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.

 

Given the nature of the revenue recognition process, the company generates contract liabilities to the extent that a customer pays on project progress before the company fulfills its performance obligations under a contract or contract assets to the extent that the company has earned by satisfying performance obligations but has not yet billed the customer.  Contract assets represent a right to receive payment in the future once certain conditions are met per the terms of the contract. The balance of contract asset and liabilities as of 3/31/25 were $639,108 and $1,337963, respectively, and as of 12/31/24 were $759,658 and $1,042,090, respectively.

 

ASC-327 Segment Reporting

 

Financial Accounting Standard Board (“FASB”) ASC Topic 280, “Segment Reporting,” requires annual and interim reporting for an enterprise’s operating segments and related disclosures about its products, services, geographic areas and major customers. An operating segment is defined as a component of an enterprise that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues and expenses, and about which separate financial information is regularly evaluated by the chief operating decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources.

 

Laser Photonics operates as one segment located in Orlando, FL. Our company develops industrial laser cleaning, cutting, welding, marking, and wire stripping across multiple industries and customer bases. The chief operating decision maker (CODM) being the Chief Executive Officer. The CODM uses net income from operations to evaluate and make key operating decisions

 

Our significant accounting policies are provided in “Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” in our Financial Statements 2024 Form 10-K. There have been no material changes to our significant accounting policies from those disclosed in our 2024 Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent liabilities at dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the periods. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Our significant estimates and assumptions include depreciation and the fair value of our stock, stock-based compensation, debt discount and the valuation allowance relating to the Company’s deferred tax assets.

 

Assets

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

Cash and cash equivalents consist of highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less at the date of purchase. Cash and cash equivalents are carried at cost, which approximates fair value.

 

As of March 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024, the Company had $179,091 and $533,871 of cash, respectively.

 

 

Accounts Receivable

 

Trade accounts receivable are recorded net of allowance for expected uncollectible accounts. The Company extends credit to its customers in the normal course of business and performs on-going credit evaluations of its customers. All accounts, or portions thereof, that are deemed uncollectible are written off to bad debt expense, as incurred. As of March 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024, the Company’s ledger had $904,155 and $973,605, respectively as a balance for collectible accounts. Allowance and amount recognized as bad debt as of March 31,2025 are $193,333 and 10,651 respectively, and as of December 31, 2024, were $193,333 and $248,413 respectively. In 2024, the Company implemented processes to be following ASC326.

 

As of March 31, 2025, the debts of GE Precision Healthcare LLC (17.8%), Hydro Flask c/o Helen of Troy (15.9%), RS Integrated Supply Puerto Rico LLC (35.9%) and Specialized Bicycle (10.1%), were over 10% of the total of the A/R. As of December 31, 2024, debts of Nebraska Public Power District (10.2%), Phillips66 (17%), Fisher & Paykel Healthcare Ltd (13.9%) and New England Small Tube Corporation (19%), were over 10% of the total.

 

Advertising Expenses

 

Marketing, advertising and promotion expenditures are expensed in the annual period in which the expenditure is incurred.

 

Research & Development Expenses

 

Research & Development expenditures are expensed in the annual period in which the expenditure is incurred.

 

Stock Based Compensation

 

The Company accounts for stock-based payments in accordance with the provision of ASC 718, which requires that all share-based payments issued to acquire goods or services, including grants of employee stock options, be recognized in the statement of operations based on their fair values, net of estimated forfeitures. ASC 718 requires forfeitures to be estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. Compensation related to share-based awards is recognized over the requisite service period, which is generally the vesting period.

 

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation awards issued to non-employees for services, as prescribed by ASC 718-10, at either the fair value of the services rendered or the instruments issued in exchange for such services, whichever is more readily determinable. The Company issues compensatory shares for services including, but not limited to, executives, management, accounting, operations, corporate communication, financial and administrative consulting services.

 

Lease Accounting

 

The Company leases office space and the production facility under operating lease agreements. The lease term begins on the date of initial possession of the leased property for purposes of recognizing lease expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Lease renewal periods are considered on a lease-by-lease basis and are generally not included in the initial lease term.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

Under Topic 606, an entity recognizes revenue when its customer obtains control of promised goods or services, in an amount that reflects the consideration which the entity expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. To determine revenue recognition for arrangements that an entity determines are within the scope of Topic 606, the entity performs the following five steps: (i) identify the contract(s) with a customer; (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (iii) determine the transaction price; (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. The Company only applies the five-step model to contracts when it is probable that the entity will collect the consideration it is entitled to in exchange for the goods or services it transfers to the customer. At contract inception, once the contract is determined to be within the scope of Topic 606, we assess the goods or services promised within each contract and determine those that are performance obligations and assess whether each promised good or service is distinct. The Company then recognizes as revenue the amount of the transaction price that is allocated to the respective performance obligation when (or as) the performance obligation is satisfied.

 

Revenue is then recognized for the transaction price allocated to each respective performance obligation when (or as) the performance obligation is satisfied. For our products, revenue is generally recognized upon shipment or pickup by the customer. At this stage, the title on the manufactured equipment is transferred to the customer, and the customer is responsible for transportation expenses, insurance, and any transport-related damage to the equipment in transit. We do not have any obligation to deliver beyond the collection warehouse, and it is the customers’ contractual responsibility to ensure their goods reach their destination.

 

In CMS for projects that are considered custom in nature and determined the obligation will be six months to a year or more, the company will recognize revenue as a percentage of completion basis. The percentage of completion method recognizes income as work on a project progresses. The recognition of revenues and profits is generally related to costs incurred in providing the services required under the project.

 

 

Refunds and returns, which are minimal, are recorded as a reduction of revenue. Payments received from customers before satisfying the above criteria are recorded as unearned income on the combined balance sheets.

 

Payments received as deposits for specific purchase orders or future laser equipment sales to customers are recognized as customer deposits and included in liabilities on the balance sheet. Customer deposits are recognized as revenue when control over the ordered equipment is transferred to the customer.

 

All revenues are reported net of any sales discounts or taxes.

 

Other Revenue Recognition Matters related to Distributors.

 

Distributors generally have no right to return unsold equipment. However, in limited circumstances, if the Company determines that distributor stock is morally aging beyond the Company’s new model releases, it may accept returns and provide the distributor with credit against their trading account at the Company’s discretion under its warranty policy. This revenue is recognized on a consignment basis and transfer of control is when an item is sold to end customer at which time the company recognizes revenue.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

Cash and cash equivalents consist of highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less at the date of purchase. Cash and cash equivalents are carried at a cost, which approximates fair value.

 

Accounts Receivable

 

Trade accounts receivable is recorded net of allowance for expected uncollectible accounts. The Company extends credit to its customers in the normal course of business and performs on-going credit evaluations of its customers. All accounts, or portions thereof, that are deemed uncollectible are written off to bad debt expense, as incurred. In addition, most sales orders are not accepted without a substantial deposit. As of March 31, 2025, the balance of collectible accounts was $904,155. amount recognized as bad debt ask of March 31, 2025, is $10,651.

 

Current Liabilities

 

Accounts Payable

 

Accounts payable consist of short-term liability to our vendors and sub-contractors, who extend credit terms to the Company or deliver goods or services with delayed payment terms. As of March 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024, our accounts payable were recorded at $1,292,178 and $531,268, respectively.

 

Deferred Revenue

 

As of March 31, 2025, the Company had $470,493 in Deferred Revenue, and as of December 31, 2024, the Company’s deferred revenue liabilities were recorded at $55,383.

 

Loans and Notes Payable

 

On February 13, 2025, the Company entered into a Business Loan and Security Agreement dated February 13, 2025 (the “Loan Agreement”) among Agile Capital Funding, LLC (“Agile Capital”), Agile Lending, LLC (“Agile Lending”) and the Company’s subsidiary, Control Micro Systems Florida, LLC, under which the Company issued a Confessed Judgment Promissory Note for a term loan in the principal amount of $1,050,000 to be repaid through weekly principal and interest payments of $54,000 commencing February 24, 2025, and ending September 1, 2025, subject to payment of a $50,000 administrative agent fee paid to Agile Capital. The Loan is secured by a blanket lien on the Company’s assets. The Loan may be prepaid subject to payment of prepayment fee equal to the aggregate and actual amount of interest (at the contract rate of interest) that would be paid through the maturity date.

 

Inventory

 

Inventories are stated at a lower cost or net realizable value using the first-in-first-out (FIFO) method. The Company has four principal categories of inventory:

 

Equipment parts inventory - This inventory represents components and raw materials that are currently in the process of being converted to a certifiable lot of saleable products through the manufacturing and/or equipment assembly process. Inventories include parts and components that may be specialized in nature and subject to rapid obsolescence. The Company periodically reviews the quantities and carrying values of inventories to assess whether the inventories are recoverable. Because of the Company’s vertical integration, a significant or sudden decrease in sales activity could result in a significant change in the estimates of excess or obsolete inventory valuation. The costs associated with provisions for excess quantities, technological obsolescence, or component rejections are charged to the cost of sales as incurred.

 

 

Work in process inventory - Work in process inventory consists of inventory that is partially manufactured or not fully assembled as of the date of these financial statements. This equipment, machines, parts, frames, lasers and assemblies are items not ready for use or resale. Costs are accumulated as work in process until sales ready items are compete when it is moved to finished goods inventory. Amounts in this account represent items at various stages of completion at the date of these financial statements.

 

Finished goods inventory - Finished goods inventory consists of purchased inventory that were fully manufactured, assembled or in saleable condition. Finished goods inventory is comprised of items that are complete and ready for commercial application without further cost other that delivery and setup. Finished goods inventory includes demo and other equipment, lasers, software, machines, parts or assemblies.

 

Sales demonstration inventory - Sales demonstration inventory represents completed product used to support our sales force for demonstrations and held for sale. A Sales demonstration inventory was being held in our demo facilities or by our sales representatives for up to three years, at which time it would be refurbished and transferred to finished goods as used equipment, stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. The Company expects these refurbished units to remain in finished goods inventory and sold within 12 months at prices that produce reduced gross margins. The items in this category were reclassified as assets in Q3 2024.

 

At March 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024, respectively, our inventory consisted of the following:

Fixed Assets - Plant Machinery and Equipment

 

Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Expenditures for major additions and improvements are capitalized and minor replacements, maintenance, and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. When property and equipment are retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts, and any resulting gain or loss is included in the results of operations for the respective period.

 

Machinery and Equipment

 

Depreciation is provided over the estimated useful lives of the related assets using the straight-line method for financial statement purposes. The Company uses other depreciation methods (generally accelerated) for tax purposes where appropriate. The estimated useful lives for significant property and equipment categories are as follows:

 

Category

Useful Life

Office furniture and fixtures  3-5 years
Machinery and equipment  5-7 years
Leasehold Improvements  1-10 years*
Intangible Assets  6-15 years

Intangible Assets

 

Intangible assets consist primarily of capitalized equipment design documentation, software costs for equipment manufactured for sale, research, and development, as well as certain patent, trademark and license costs. Capitalized software and equipment design documentation development costs are recorded in accordance with Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC”) 985 “Software” with costs amortized using the straight-line method over a ten-year period. Patent, trademark and license costs are amortized using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives of 15 years. On an ongoing basis, management reviews the valuation of intangible assets to determine if there has been impairment by comparing the related assets’ carrying value to the undiscounted estimated future cash flows and/or operating income from related operations.

 

 

Table of Contents

 

The Company employs various core technologies across many different product families and applications in an effort to maximize the impact of our research and development costs and increase economies of scale and to leverage its technology-specific expertise across multiple product platforms. The technologies inherent in its laser equipment products include application documentation, proprietary and custom software developed for operation of its equipment, specific knowledge of supply chain and equipment design documentation, consisting of 3D engineering drawings, bills of materials, wiring diagrams, parts AutoCad drawings, software architecture documentation, etc. Intangible assets were received from related parties, ICT Investments, FONON Technologies Inc. and therefore transferred and booked by Laser Photonics Corp. at their historical cost. During the purchase of CMS assets there were obtained Intangible Assets, which have been developed internally in the CMS.

Long-Lived Assets

 

Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. Impairment is measured by comparing the carrying value of the long-lived assets to the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to result from use of the assets and their ultimate disposition. In instances where impairment is determined to exist, the Company will write down the asset to its fair value based on the present value of estimated future cash flows.

Net Earnings/Loss per Share

 

Basic Earnings/Loss per share is calculated by dividing the Earnings/Loss attributable to stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares outstanding for the period. Diluted Earnings/Loss per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that shared in the earnings (loss) of the Company. Diluted Earnings/Loss per share is computed by dividing the Earnings/Loss available to stockholders by the weighted average number of shares outstanding for the period and dilutive potential shares outstanding unless such dilutive potential shares would result in anti-dilution.
