FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

NOTE 4. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Assets and liabilities recorded at fair value on a recurring basis in the balance sheets are categorized based upon the level of judgment associated with the inputs used to measure their fair values. Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The standard describes a fair value hierarchy based on three levels of inputs, of which the first two are considered observable and the last unobservable, as follows:

Level 1: Valuations based on quoted prices for identical assets and liabilities in active markets.

Level 2: Valuations based on observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.

Level 3: Valuations based on unobservable inputs reflecting our own assumptions, consistent with reasonably available assumptions made by other market participants. These valuations require significant judgment.

An asset's or liability’s fair value measurement level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

The Company’s financial instruments that are carried at fair value consist of Level 1 and Level 3 assets and liabilities:

•
Level 1:
o
Level 1 assets include highly liquid bank deposits and money market funds, which were not material in any period presented herein.
o
Level 1 liabilities include the Public Warrants, which are classified as Level 1 due to the use of an observable market quote in an active market, however, were determined to have no value as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 due to a notification from the NYSE American in December 2023 that the NYSE American had determined to (a) commence proceedings to delist the Company’s Public Warrants, each whole warrant exercisable to purchase one share of the Company’s Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share, at a price of $11.50 per share, and listed to trade on the NYSE American under the symbol “BURU.WS”, and (b) immediately suspend trading in the Public Warrants due to “abnormally low” trading price levels.
•
Level 3:
o
Level 3 assets include the Convertible Note Receivable (as defined and described in Note 5), which is classified as Level 3 due to the use of unobservable inputs in the valuation of the asset. There were no transfers between Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3 in any periods presented.
o
Level 3 liabilities include (i) the Junior Note Warrants (as defined and described in Notes 8 and 10), (ii) the Offering Common Stock Warrants (as defined and described in Notes 9 and 10), (iii) our debt recorded under the fair value option, including the Indigo Capital Convertible Notes, AZ Promissory Note, TAG Promissory Note, Diagonal Convertible Notes, Agile Note, Brick Lane Convertible Notes, Bomore Convertible Notes, Boot Convertible Note, Torcross Convertible Note and Yorkville Promissory Note (each as defined and described in Note 8), and (iv) through early March 2025, the August 2024 Convertible Note Derivative Liability (as defined and described in Note 8), each of which is classified as Level 3 due to the use of unobservable inputs in the valuation of the liability. Gains or losses from the remeasurement of (i) the Junior Note Warrants and Offering Common Stock Warrants are recorded as part of change in fair value of warrant liabilities, (ii) debt recorded under the fair value option are recorded as part of change in fair value of notes payable, (iii) the SEPA liability, as further described in Note 11, are recorded as part of change in fair value of SEPA liability, (iv) the Silverback Claims Settlement, as further described in Note 3, are recorded as part of change in fair value of claims settlement liability and (v) the August 2024 Convertible Note Derivative Liability are recorded as part of change in fair value of derivative liability in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. There were no transfers between Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3 in any periods presented.

Fair value was estimated using a Monte Carlo simulation model, which incorporates significant assumptions including the expected volatility of the Company's stock price, the risk-free interest rate, and the timing and probability of future liquidity events.
(2)
Fair value was estimated using a discounted cash flow method, which applies a risk-adjusted discount rate to projected future cash flows. The valuation involves significant judgment in determining key inputs such as forecasted revenue growth, margin expectations and discount rates.
(3)
Fair value was estimated using the current value method, which allocates the Company's most recent enterprise value to the various classes of equity based on their respective rights and preferences.

NOTE 5. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Assets and liabilities recorded at fair value on a recurring basis in the balance sheets are categorized based upon the level of judgment associated with the inputs used to measure their fair values. Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The standard describes a fair value hierarchy based on three levels of inputs, of which the first two are considered observable and the last unobservable, as follows:

Level 1: Valuations based on quoted prices for identical assets and liabilities in active markets.

Level 2: Valuations based on observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.

Level 3: Valuations based on unobservable inputs reflecting our own assumptions, consistent with reasonably available assumptions made by other market participants. These valuations require significant judgment.

An asset or liability's fair value measurement level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

The Company’s financial instruments that are carried at fair value consists of Level 1 and Level 3 assets and liabilities. Level 1 assets include highly liquid bank deposits and money market funds, which were not material as of December 31, 2024 and 2023. Level 1 liabilities include the Public Warrants and are classified as Level 1 due to the use of an observable market quote in an active market. The Company measured the fair value of the Public Warrants on the date of the Closing of the Business Combination based on the close price of the Public Warrant price. Level 3 liabilities include (i) the Junior Note Warrants (as defined in Note 8, Notes and Convertible Notes Payable), (ii) the August 2024 Convertible Note Derivative Liability (as defined and described in Note 8, Notes and Convertible Notes Payable) and (iii) the Legacy Nuburu Convertible Notes (as described in Note 3, Reverse Recapitalization), each of which is classified as Level 3 due to the use of unobservable inputs in the valuation of the liability. During the year ended December 31, 2024, no warrants were exercised.

The gains and losses from re-measurement of Level 1 and Level 3 financial liabilities are recorded as part of change in fair value of warrant liabilities and change in fair value of derivative liability in the consolidated statements of operations. There were no transfers between Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3 in any periods presented.

On December 12, 2023, the New York Stock Exchange American (“NYSE American”) notified the Company, and publicly announced, that the NYSE American had determined to (a) commence proceedings to delist the Company’s Public Warrants, each whole warrant exercisable to purchase one share of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, at a price of $11.50 per share, and listed to trade on the NYSE American under the symbol “BURU.WS”, and (b) immediately suspend trading in the Public Warrants due to “abnormally low” trading price levels. As such, the Public Warrants were determined to have no value as of December 31, 2023.
