Our significant accounting policies are provided in “Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” in our Financial Statements 2023
Form 10-K. There have been no material changes to our significant accounting policies from those disclosed in our 2023 Form 10-K for the
fiscal year ended December 31, 2023
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 expense related to share-based awards is recognized over the requisite
service period, which is generally the vesting period.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP 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. In the opinion of management, our financial
statements reflect all adjustments considered necessary by management to fairly state the results of operations, financial position and cash flows
of the Company for the periods presented.
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 hold any obligation to deliver beyond the collection warehouse, and it is the
customers’ contractual responsibility to ensure their goods reach their destination.
10
Table of Contents
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.
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 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. The company has $5,039,472 in flexible CD account with Bank of
America. The terms on this CD if flexible, having a term of 9 months that automatically renews, Full balance and interest can be withdrawn
prior to maturity. A penalty of 7 days interest will be imposed for early withdrawals within the first 6 days of the account term.
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. In addition, most sales orders are not accepted without a substantial deposit. As of
March 31, 2024, the balance of collectible accounts was $443,309. Allowance and amount recognized as bad debt ask of March 31, 2024 is
$183,380
Inventory
Inventories are stated at a lower of cost or net realizable value using the first-in first-out (FIFO) method. The Company has four principal
categories of inventory:
Sales demonstration inventory - Sales demonstration inventory represents completed product used to support our sales force for demonstrations
and held for sale. Sales demonstration inventory is 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.
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 cost of sales as incurred.
11
Table of Contents
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 salable
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.
At March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, our inventory consisted of the following:
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.
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:
Economic
Category Useful Life
Office furniture and fixtures 3-5 years
Machinery and equipment 5-7 years
Intangible Assets 7-15 years

Total Fixed Assets $ 1,013,638 $ 1,115,025
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.
The Company’s intangible assets are deemed to have indefinite lives and, accordingly, are not amortized, but are evaluated for impairment at
least annually, but more often whenever changes in facts and circumstances occur which may indicate that the carrying value may not be
recoverable.

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, mostly important, 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 a related party, ICT Investments, and therefore transferred and booked by Laser Photonics Corp. at their
historical cost.

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.
NOTE 3 – LEASES
Our leases consist of operating leases only related to our two facilities located in Orlando, Florida. The operating leases for our facilities are
non-cancelable operating leases and are included in Operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) asset, Lease liability, and Lease liability – less current
portion in our balance sheets. ROU assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term, and lease liabilities represent our
obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Lease expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease
term.
Current Liabilities
Accounts Payable

services with delayed payment terms. As of March 31, 2024, and December 31, 2023, our accounts payable were recorded at $306,301 and
$223,040, respectively.

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.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our unaudited financial
statements and the notes to those financial statements appearing elsewhere in this Report.
Certain statements in this Report constitute forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements include statements, which involve
risks and uncertainties, regarding, among other things, (a) our projected sales, profitability, and cash flows, (b) our growth strategy, (c)
anticipated trends in our industry, (d) our future financing plans, and (e) our anticipated needs for, and use of, working capital. They are
generally identifiable by use of the words “may,” “will,” “should,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “plan,” “potential,” “project,” “continuing,”
“ongoing,” “expects,” “management believes,” “we believe,” “we intend,” or the negative of these words or other variations on these words
or comparable terminology. In light of these risks and uncertainties, there can be no assurance that the forward-looking statements contained in
this filing will in fact occur. You should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements.
The forward-looking statements speak only as of the date on which they are made, and, except to the extent required by federal securities laws,
we undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date on which the statements
are made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.
The “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our,” are references to the business of Laser Photonics Corporation, a Wyoming corporation.
Overview
We are a vertically integrated manufacturing Company for photonics based industrial products and solutions, primarily disruptive laser cleaning
technologies. Our vertically integrated operations allow us to reduce development and advanced laser equipment manufacturing time, offer
better prices, control quality and protect our proprietary knowhow and technology compared to other laser cleaning companies and companies
with competing technologies.
Our principal executive offices are located at 1101 N Keller Rd, Orlando FL, 32810, and our telephone number is (407) 804 1000. Our website
address is www.laserphotonics.com. The Company’s annual reports, quarterly reports, current reports on Form 8-K and amendments to such
reports filed or furnished pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), and other information
related to the Company, are available, free of charge, on that website as soon as we electronically file those documents with, or otherwise
furnish them to, the SEC. The Company’s website and the information contained therein, or connected thereto, are not and are not intended to
be incorporated into this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
We intend to continue to stay ahead of the technology curve by researching and developing cutting edge products and technologies for both
large and small businesses. We view the small companies as an attractive market opportunity since they were previously unable to take
advantage of laser processing equipment due to high prices, significant operating costs and the technical complexities of the laser equipment. As
a result, we are developing an array of laser cleaning equipment that we have named the CleanTech™ product line, which we believe represents
a new generation of high-power laser cleaning systems applicable to numerous material processing operations.
Factors and Trends That Affect Our Operations and Financial Results
In reading our financial statements, you should be aware of the following factors and trends that our management believes are important in
understanding our financial performance.
Supply Chain. We are experiencing increased lead times for certain parts and components purchased from third party suppliers; particularly
electronic components. We, our customers and our suppliers continue to face constraints related to supply chain and logistics, including
availability of capacity, materials, air cargo space, sea containers and higher freight rates and import duties. Supply chain and logistics
constraints are expected to continue for the foreseeable future and could impact our ability to supply products and our customers’ demand for
our product or readiness to accept deliveries. Notwithstanding these effects, we believe we have the ability to meet the near-term demand for
our products, but the situation is fluid and subject to change.
Net sales. Our net sales have historically fluctuated from quarter to quarter. The increase or decrease in sales from a prior quarter can be
affected by the timing of orders received from customers, the shipment, installation and acceptance of products at our customers’ facilities. Net
sales can be affected by the time taken to qualify our products for use in new applications in the end markets that we serve. Our sales cycle
varies substantially, ranging from a period of a few weeks to as long as one year or more, but is typically several months. The adoption of our
products by a new customer or qualification in a new application can lead to an increase in net sales for a period, which may then slow until we
penetrate new markets or obtain new customers.

Table of Contents
Our business depends substantially upon capital expenditures by end users, particularly by manufacturers using our products for materials
processing, which includes general manufacturing, automotive including electric vehicles (EV), other transportation, aerospace, heavy industry,
consumer, semiconductor and electronics. Approximately 92% of our revenues for first quarter of 2022 and 91% of our revenues for the full
2021 fiscal year were from customers using our products for materials processing. Although applications within materials processing are broad,
the capital equipment market in general is cyclical and historically has experienced sudden and severe downturns. For the foreseeable future,
our operations will continue to depend upon capital expenditures by end users of materials processing equipment and will be subject to the
broader fluctuations of capital equipment spending.
Gross margin. Our total gross margin in any period can be significantly affected by a number of factors, including net sales, production
volumes, competitive factors, product mix, and by other factors such as changes in foreign exchange rates relative to the U.S. Dollar. Many of
these factors are not under our control. The following are examples of factors affecting gross margin:
● As our products mature, we can experience additional competition which tends to decrease average selling prices and affects gross
margin;
● Our gross margin can be significantly affected by product mix. Within each of our product categories, the gross margin is generally
higher for devices with greater average power. These higher power products often have better performance, more difficult specifications to
attain and fewer competing products in the marketplace;
Selling and Marketing expenses. In the first quarter of 2024, we invested in Selling and Marketing costs in order to support continued
growth in the Company. As the secular shift to laser blasting technology matures, our sales growth becomes more susceptible to the cyclical
trends typical of capital equipment manufacturers. Accordingly, our future management of and investments in selling and marketing expenses
will also be influenced by these trends, although we may still invest in selling and marketing functions to support sales sustainability even in
economic down cycles.
Research and development expenses. We plan to continue to invest in research and development to improve our existing laser blasting
technology and equipment and develop new products, systems and applications. We believe that these investments will sustain our position as a
leader in the laser blasting industry and will support development of new products that can address new markets and growth opportunities. The
amount of research and development expense we incur may vary from period to period.
The following is a summary of the Company’s cash flows provided and (and used in) operating, investing, and financing activities for the
quarter’s ended in March 31, 2024 and March 31, 2023
As of March 31, 2024, the Company had $5,173,126 in cash, $2,725,064 in current assets (without cash and cash equivalents) and $ 1,472,368
in current liabilities.
As a result, on March 31, 2024, the Company had $6,425,822 in total working capital, compared to $11,532,113___ of total working capital on
March 31, 2023.
We will have to meet all the financial disclosure and reporting requirements associated with being a publicly reporting Company. Our
management will have to spend additional time on policies and procedures to make sure it is compliant with various regulatory requirements,
especially that of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. This additional corporate governance time required of management could
limit the amount of time our management has to implement our business plan and may delay our anticipated growth plans.
We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act and are not required to provide the information required
under this item.

Revenues
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. We only apply 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. We then recognize as revenue the amount of the transaction price that is allocated to
the respective performance obligation when (or as) the performance obligation is satisfied. Refunds and returns, which are minimal, are
recorded as a reduction of revenue. Payments received by customers prior to our satisfying the above criteria are recorded as unearned income
in the combined balance sheets. All revenues were reported net of any sales discounts or taxes.
Inventory — Inventory is stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out method) or market value. Inventory includes parts and components that
may be specialized in nature and subject to rapid obsolescence. We maintain a reserve for excess or obsolete inventory items. Inventories are
written off and charged to cost of goods sold when identified as excess or obsolete. If future sales differ from these forecasts, the valuation of
excess and obsolete inventory may change and additional inventory provisions may be required. Because of our vertical integration, a
significant or sudden decrease in sales could result in a significant change in the estimates of excess or obsolete inventory valuation. On
December 31, 2022, we recorded $101,698 in Inventory Obsolescence.
For the three months ending March 31, 2024, we recognized revenue of $742,991, as compared to $676,192 in revenue for the same period in
2023, an increase of $66,799. The increase is primarily due to a step up to higher power units, and the expansion of our reach into foreign
markets.
For the three months ending March 31, 2024, our net income was $(545,470) as compared to $(1,257,605) in the same period of 2023.
We are entering into laser equipment sales agreements with customers for specific equipment based upon purchase orders and our standard
terms and conditions of sale.
Under our customer contracts or/and purchase orders, we transfer title and risk of loss to the customer and recognize revenue upon shipment.
Our customers do not have extended payment terms or rights of return under these contracts.
In addition to providing financial measurements based on generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”), we
provide the following additional financial metrics that are not prepared in accordance with GAAP (non-GAAP): EBITDA and adjusted
EBITDA. Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures, in addition to GAAP financial measures, to understand and compare
operating results across accounting periods, for financial and operational decision making, for planning and forecasting purposes and to evaluate
our financial performance. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures help us to identify underlying trends in our business that could
otherwise be masked by the effect of certain expenses that we exclude in the calculations of the non-GAAP financial measures.

Accordingly, we believe that these non-GAAP financial measures reflect our ongoing business in a manner that allows for meaningful
comparisons and analysis of trends in the business and provides useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our
operating results, enhancing the overall understanding of our past performance and future prospects.
These non-GAAP financial measures do not replace the presentation of our GAAP financial results and should only be used as a
supplement to, not as a substitute for, our financial results presented in accordance with GAAP. There are limitations in the use of non-GAAP
measures, because they do not include all the expenses that must be included under GAAP and because they involve the exercise of judgment
concerning exclusions of items from the comparable non-GAAP financial measure. In addition, other companies may use other non-GAAP
measures to evaluate their performance, or may calculate non-GAAP measures differently, all of which could reduce the usefulness of our non-
GAAP financial measures as tools for comparison.
(1) EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure used by management, lenders, and certain investors as a supplemental measure in the evaluation
of some aspects of a corporation’s financial position and core operating performance. Investors sometimes use EBITDA, as it allows for
some level of comparability of profitability trends between those businesses differing as to capital structure and capital intensity by
removing the impacts of depreciation and amortization. EBITDA also does not include changes in major working capital items, such as
receivables, inventory and payables, which can also indicate a significant need for, or source of, cash. Since decisions regarding capital
investment and financing and changes in working capital components can have a significant impact on cash flow, EBITDA is not
necessarily a good indicator of a business’s cash flows. We use EBITDA for evaluating the relative underlying performance of our core
operations and for planning purposes. We calculate EBITDA by adjusting net income to exclude net interest expense, income tax expense
or benefit, depreciation and amortization, thus the term “Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization” and the acronym
“EBITDA.”
(2) Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income (loss) as reported in our consolidated statements of income excluding the impact of (i) interest
expense; (ii) income tax provision; (iii) depreciation and amortization; (iv) stock-based compensation expense; (v) accretion of debt
discounts; (vi) other income - forgiveness of Paycheck Protection Program loan; (vii) other financing costs; (viii) loss on extinguishment of
debt; (ix) warrant inducement expense; (x) amortization of right-of-use assets; and (xi) change in fair value of derivative liabilities. Our
Adjusted EBITDA measure eliminates potential differences in performance caused by variations in capital structures (affecting finance
costs), tax positions, the cost and age of tangible assets (affecting relative depreciation expense) and the extent to which intangible assets
are identifiable (affecting relative amortization expense). We also exclude certain one-time and non-cash costs. Our definition of Adjusted
EBITDA may differ from similarly titled measures used by other companies, and any such differences could be material.
We believe EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are helpful for investors to better understand our underlying business operations. The
following table adjusts Net Income to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ending March 31, 2024, and 2023.

Pursuant to Item 305(e) of Regulation S-K (§ 229.305(e)), the Company is not required to provide the information required by this Item as it is
a “smaller reporting Company,” as defined by Rule 229.10(f)(1).
We have not utilized any derivative financial instruments such as futures contracts, options and swaps, forward foreign exchange contracts or
interest rate swaps and futures. We believe that adequate controls are in place to monitor any hedging activities. We do not have any borrowings
and, consequently, we are not affected by changes in market interest rates. We do not currently have any sales or own assets and operate
facilities in countries outside the United States and, consequently, we are not affected by foreign currency fluctuations or exchange rate changes.
Overall, we believe that our exposure to interest rate risk and foreign currency exchange rate changes is not material to our financial condition
or results of operations.
Under the supervision of our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), our management has evaluated
the effectiveness of the design and operation of our “disclosure controls and procedures” (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)
promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), as of the end of the period covered by this
Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (the “Evaluation Date”). Based upon that evaluation, our CEO and CFO have concluded that, as of
the Evaluation Date, our disclosure controls and procedures are not effective. Management is implementing controls and procedures
during 2024 to bring to effective.
There was no material change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) promulgated
under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the last fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially
affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
