SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES & USE OF ESTIMATES | NOTE 3 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES & USE OF ESTIMATES 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 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 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. 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. 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 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, 2024, and December 31, 2023, our accounts payable were recorded at 306,302 223,040 Deferred Revenue Deferred Revenue is primarily comprised of products that have been made available to key distributors that has not been sold. As of March 31, 2024 the Company had 772,686 701,234 As of March 31, 2024, there were no loan balances owed by the Company. 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 Equipment parts inventory Work in process inventory - Finished goods inventory At March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, our inventory consisted of the following: SCHEDULE OF INVENTORY As of March 31, 2024 As of December 31, 2023 Inventory Unaudited (Audited) Equipment Parts Inventory $ 947,647 $ 862,941 Finished Goods Inventory 882,353 1,033,104 Sales Demo Inventory 210,030 162,958 Work in process Inventory 151,186 243,029 Inventory Reserve -24,216 -24,216 Total Inventory $ 2,167,000 $ 2,277,816 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: SCHEDULE OF ESTIMATED USEFUL LIVES FOR SIGNIFICANT PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT Category Economic Useful Life Office furniture and fixtures 3 5 Machinery and equipment 5 7 Intangible Assets 7 15 SCHEDULE OF FIXED ASSETS Fixed Assets 2024 2023 Fixed Assets As of As of Accumulated Depreciation $ (830,883 ) $ (729,956 ) Machinery & Equipment 799,652 796,783 Office Furniture & Computer Equipment 81,225 77,487 Vehicles 90,959 90,959 R&D Equipment 42,068 37,973 Leasehold improvements 182,827 31,775 Demonstration equipment 647,790 647,790 Property, Plant and Equipment, Gross $ 647,790 $ 647,790 Total Fixed Assets $ 1,013,638 $ 952,811 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 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. 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.

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.
