Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation - The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for interim condensed financial information and with instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for fair presentation of the results of operations for the periods presented have been included. The condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and the notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2025. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year.
Use of Estimates - The preparation of condensed financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Revenue Recognition - The Company enters into contracts with its customers that generally represent purchase orders specifying general terms and conditions, order quantities and per unit product prices. The Company has determined that each unit of product purchased represents a separate performance obligation. The Company satisfies its performance obligations and recognizes revenue at a point in time when control of a unit of product is transferred to the customer. Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for transferring products. For the majority of product sales, transfer of control occurs when the products are shipped from the Company’s manufacturing facility to the customer. The cost of delivering products to the Company’s customers is recorded as a component of the cost of products sold. Those costs may include the amounts paid to a third party to deliver the products. Any freight costs billed to and paid by a customer are included in revenue.
The Company considers collectability of amounts due under a contract to be probable upon inception of a sale based on an evaluation of the creditworthiness of each customer. The Company sells its products typically under agreements with payment terms of 30-60 days. The Company does not normally include extended payment terms or significant financing components in contracts with customers. The majority of the Company’s contracts have an obligation to transfer products within one year. Thus, the Company elects to use the practical expedient where incremental cost of obtaining a contract, such as commissions, is expensed when incurred because the amortization period for those costs is one year or less. The Company treats shipping and handling activities that occur after control of the product transfers as fulfillment activities and therefore does not account for shipping and handling costs as a separate performance obligation. Customer deposits are funds received in advance from customers and are recognized as revenue when the Company has transferred control of product to the customer. Product revenues are recognized upon shipment of goods as the customer has assumed the significant risks and rewards of ownership and the Company is entitled to payment at this point. Service revenues are recognized upon completion as the customer cannot realize the benefit of the service until it is fully completed.

Customer deposits – Amounts that have been invoiced are recognized in accounts receivable, customer deposits or revenue, depending on whether the revenue recognition criteria have been met. Customer deposits represent amounts billed for which revenue has not yet been recognized. Customer deposits typically relate to uncompleted purchase orders which have been partially paid for by customers prior to performance of those services or transfer of control of the product. The following table presents changes in contract liabilities during the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025:

Note 3. Recent Accounting Pronouncements
The Company has reviewed the accounting pronouncements issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board during the six months ended June 30, 2026. Applicable pronouncements are adopted by the Company in accordance with the accounting guidance and definition. Management does not believe the adoption of any of these accounting pronouncements has had or will have a material impact on the Company’s condensed financial statements.

Note 4. Investments (continued)
As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company held investments in corporate bonds rated BBB+ or higher, and U.S. government securities that are required to be measured for disclosure purposes at fair value on a recurring basis. The bonds and government securities are considered held-to-maturity and are recorded at amortized cost on the balance sheet. These investments are considered level 2 as detailed in the table below. The Company considers investments which will mature in the next twelve months and interest receivable on the long-term bonds as current assets. The remaining investments are considered non-current assets including the investment in marketable securities which the Company intends to hold longer than twelve months. The fair value of these investments was estimated using recently executed transactions and market price quotations. At June 30, 2026, the length of time until maturity of the bonds currently owned ranged from

Note 7. Earnings Per Share
Basic income per share is calculated as net income divided by the weighted average of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share is calculated as net income divided by the diluted weighted average number of common shares. Diluted weighted average number of common shares gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method. Diluted earnings per share exclude all diluted potential shares if their effect is anti-dilutive. Any common stock options listed in Note 5 that were out-of-the-money or anti-dilutive were excluded from diluted earnings per share. The following is provided to reconcile the earnings per share calculations:

Note 9. Income Taxes
The provision for income taxes for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 is based on our projected annual effective tax rate, adjusted for permanent differences and specific items that are required to be recognized in the period in which they are incurred. The effective tax rate was

Deferred tax assets and liabilities result from temporary differences in the recognition of income and expense for tax and financial reporting purposes. As of each reporting date, management considers new evidence, both positive and negative, that could affect its view of the future realization of deferred taxes. Accordingly, management determined that

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Condensed Financial Statements and Notes contained herein and with those in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025.
Except for the historical information contained herein, the matters discussed in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q include certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, which are intended to be covered by the safe harbors created thereby. Those statements include, but may not be limited to, all statements regarding our intent, belief, and expectations, such as statements concerning our future profitability and operating and growth strategy. Words such as “believe,” “anticipate,” “expect,” “will,” “may,” “should,” “intend,” “plan,” “estimate,” “predict,” “potential,” “continue,” “likely” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Investors are cautioned that all forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and in other statements we make involve risks and uncertainties including, without limitation, the factors set forth under the caption “Risk Factors” included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, and other factors detailed from time to time in our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. One or more of these factors have affected, and in the future could affect our business and financial condition

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (continued)
and could cause actual results to differ materially from plans and projections. Although we believe the assumptions underlying the forward-looking statements contained herein are reasonable, there can be no assurance that any of the forward-looking statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q will prove to be accurate. Considering the significant uncertainties inherent in the forward-looking statements included herein, the inclusion of such information should not be regarded as a representation by us or any other person that our objectives and plans will be achieved.
Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which such statement is made, and we undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statement or statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date on which such statements are made or reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events, unless necessary to prevent such statements from becoming misleading. New factors emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict all factors, nor can we assess the impact of each such factor on the business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements.
Executive Summary
For the three months ended June 30, 2026, total revenue was a record $9,485,119 compared to $3,609,304 for the three months ended June 30, 2025. Total revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2026, was $17,645,481 versus $7,109,536 for the same period last year. The increase in total revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 versus the same periods last year was primarily due to higher raw material input costs, product mix, and higher volume.
Gross profit was $2,276,455 for the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared to $1,158,157 for the same three months in 2025. Gross profit as a percentage of revenue (gross margin) was 24.0% and 32.1% for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. Higher revenue contributed to the increase in gross profit while higher raw material costs and product mix were the primary reasons for the decreased gross margin for the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared to the same three months in 2025. Gross profit was $4,311,575 for the six months ended June 30, 2026 compared to $2,230,971 for the same six months in 2025, and gross margin was 24.4% and 31.4% for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. Higher revenue contributed to the increase in gross profit due to higher raw material input costs and product mix, while the same factors were the primary reasons for the lower gross margin for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 compared to the same periods in 2025.
Operating expenses were $876,989 and $802,350 for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and June 30, 2025 respectively. There were increased compensation and benefits for Marketing and Sales, which included additional staff, and higher materials and supplies for Research and Development in the second quarter of 2026, partially offset by lower General and Administrative expense compared to the second quarter of 2025. Operating expenses were $2,423,185 for the six months ended June 30, 2026 including fraud expense of $562,026, compared to $1,572,625 for the same period last year. Higher Marketing and Sales compensation and benefits expense, increased Research and Development materials and supplies, and slightly higher General and Administrative compensation and benefits were the primary factors in the year-over-year increase.
On February 10, 2026, the Company reported it was subjected to an imposter scam of $898,325 executed in conjunction with bank fraud. As of June 30, 2026, the Company recovered $336,299 of that amount resulting in fraud expense of $562,026 recorded in the first quarter. On July 12, 2026, the Company was informed that a $250,000 claim related to its Smart Cyber insurance policy was approved. When the insurance proceeds are realized they will reduce the fraud expense to $312,026.
Income from operations was $1,399,466 and $355,807 for the three months ended June 30, 2026, and 2025, respectively and $1,888,390 and $658,346 for the six months ended June 30, 2026, and 2025, respectively.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (continued)
The Company invests in research and development to develop innovative applications focused on a defined path to commercialization. For example, electrically conductive Indium Tin Oxide with a density of 99% and rotatable targets up to three meters in length which offer multiple benefits were introduced during the second quarter of 2025. New initiatives are being pursued that utilize our vacuum hot presses, cold isostatic press, and kilns for increased production and development projects, including specialty diffusion bonding processes.
During the second half of 2025, the Company identified an additional niche market that can benefit from its custom powder solutions, including spherical powders used in additive manufacturing. The Company identified additional opportunities through development of debinding processes for domestic commercial additive manufacturing applications.
Several issues are currently impacting national and global market conditions. First, continued political uncertainties in the Middle East region are particularly affecting multinational customers. Second, inflation continues to impact labor, raw material costs and transportation expenses. We seek to pass these increases on to customers but are unable to predict how future or sustained inflationary pressure may impact our results. Third, supply chain disruptions are adversely impacting customers’ businesses in certain markets. Thus far, we have not experienced material adverse effects regarding sourcing of raw materials or product shipments; however, timely deliveries and sourcing of certain materials is of increased concern and may be influenced by the changes in international tariffs and their availability. We are actively maintaining contact with our suppliers and customers, identifying additional suppliers, and adapting to our customers’ specific circumstances and forecasts.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Three and six months ended June 30, 2026 (unaudited) compared to three and six months ended June 30, 2025 (unaudited):
Revenue
For the three months ended June 30 2026, total revenue was $9,485,119 compared to $3,609,304 for the three months ended June 30, 2025. The increase in revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2026 versus June 30, 2025 was primarily due to higher raw material input costs, product mix, and higher volume. Total revenue was $17,645,481 for the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to $7,109,536 for the six months ended June 30, 2025. The combination of product mix, higher raw material costs and volume contributed to the increase in total revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2026 versus the same period last year. We constantly monitor the costs of our raw materials as they continue to fluctuate.
Gross profit
Gross profit was $2,276,455 for the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared to $1,158,157 for the same three months in 2025. Higher revenue contributed to the increase in gross profit while higher raw material input costs and product mix were the primary reasons for the lower gross margin for the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared to the same three months in 2025. Gross profit as a percentage of revenue (gross margin) was 24.0% and 32.1% for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively, due to the factors noted above.
Gross profit was $4,311,575 for the six months ended June 30, 2026 compared to $2,230,971 for the same six months in 2025, and gross margin was 24.4% and 31.4% for the six months ended June 30 2026 and 2025, respectively. Higher revenue contributed to the increase in gross profit, while higher raw material input costs and product mix were the primary reasons for the lower gross profit margin compared to a year ago.
General and administrative expense
General and administrative expense for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, was $512,090 and $549,540, respectively, a decrease of 6.8%. Lower compensation and benefits, which did not include non-cash stock based compensation for the three months ended June 30, 2026 compared to $47,206 for the same period in 2025, were key factors that contributed to the year-over-year decrease. General and administrative expense for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 was $1,154,133 and $1,097,361 respectively an increase of 5.2%. The increase is attributed to higher compensation and benefits and non-cash compensation for the first half of 2026 compared to 2025.

As of June 30, 2026, the Company recovered $336,299 of that amount resulting in fraud expense of $562,026 recorded in the first quarter. On July 12, 2026, the Company was informed that a $250,000 claim related to its Smart Cyber insurance policy was approved. When the insurance proceeds are realized they will reduce the fraud expense to $312,026.
Research and development expense
Research and development expense for the three months ended June 30, 2026, was $147,433 compared to $107,374 for the same period in 2025, an increase of 37.3%. This increase was primarily due to higher research materials and supplies of $43,094 and increased compensation of $4,353. Research and development expense for the six months ended June 30, 2026 was $290,043 compared to $209,641 for the same period in 2025, an increase of 38.3%. This increase was primarily due to higher research materials and supplies of $49,643 and increased compensation of $14,465. Specialty materials are being researched for use in niche markets which include custom applications and additive manufacturing. Our development efforts utilize a disciplined innovation approach focused on accelerating time to market for these products and involve ongoing research and development expense.
Marketing and sales expense
Marketing and sales expense was $217,466 and $145,436 for the three months ended June 30, 2026, and 2025, respectively, an increase of 49.5%. The increase was due to increased compensation and benefits of $85,345, including additional staff, during the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared to the same period in 2025. Marketing and sales expense was $416,983 and $265,623 for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively, an increase of 57%. Compensation and benefits expense increased $153,492 during the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to the same period in 2025. Recent additions to our marketing and sales staff and repositioning of personnel occurred during this period and each contributed to these increases.

The decrease for the three months ended June 30, 2026 was due to lower interest rates. The increase for the six months ended June 30, 2026 versus June 30, 2025 was primarily due to a 25% increase in cash and cash equivalents since December 31, 2025.
Income taxes
Income tax expense was $339,549, and $107,028 for the three months ended June 30, 2026, and 2025, respectively and $475,297 and $197,980 for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively.

Critical Accounting Policies
The preparation of condensed financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make judgments, assumptions and estimates that affect the amounts reported in the condensed financial statements and accompanying notes. Note 2 to the condensed financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, describes the significant accounting policies and methods used in the preparation of the condensed financial statements. Estimates are used for, but not limited to, accounting for the allowance for doubtful accounts and current expected credit losses, inventory allowances, property and equipment depreciable lives, patents and licenses useful lives, revenue recognition, income tax expense, deferred tax assets and liabilities, realization of deferred tax assets, stock-based compensation and assessing changes in which impairment of certain long-lived assets may occur. Actual results could differ from these estimates. The following critical accounting policies are impacted significantly by judgments, assumptions and estimates used in the preparation of the Financial Statements. The allowance for doubtful accounts
17
Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (continued)
is based on our assessment of the collectability of specific customer accounts and the aging of accounts receivable. If there is a deterioration of a major customer’s creditworthiness or actual defaults are higher than our historical experience, our estimates of the recoverability of amounts due us could be adversely affected. Inventory purchases and commitments are based upon future demand forecasts. If there is a sudden and significant decrease in demand for our products or there is a higher risk of inventory obsolescence because of rapidly changing technology and customer requirements, we may be required to increase our inventory allowances, and our gross margin could be adversely affected. The tax valuation allowance is based on our consideration of new evidence, both positive and negative, that could affect our view of the future realization of deferred tax assets. If we were to determine not to be able to realize all or part of the deferred tax asset in the future, an adjustment to the deferred tax asset would be necessary which would reduce our net income for that period. Depreciable and useful lives estimated for property and equipment, licenses and patents are based on initial expectations of the period of time these assets and intangibles will benefit us. Changes in circumstances related to a change in our business, changes in technology or other factors could result in these assets becoming impaired, which could adversely affect the value of these assets.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) as of the end of the period covered by this report. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and implemented, can only provide reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. Management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of controls and procedures. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely discussions regarding required disclosure.
Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective. Disclosure controls and procedures are defined by Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act as controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports filed with the SEC under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms.
Inherent Limitations over Internal Controls
Our internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that: (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance
with authorizations of management and directors; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of assets that could have a material effect on our financial statements.
Management is responsible for the consistency, integrity, and presentation of information. We fulfill our responsibility by maintaining systems of internal control designed to provide reasonable assurance that assets are safeguarded, and transactions are executed in accordance with established procedures. The concept of reasonable assurance is based upon recognition that the cost of the controls should not exceed the benefit derived. We believe our systems of internal control provide this reasonable assurance.
The Board of Directors exercises its oversight role with respect to our systems of internal control primarily through its Audit Committee, which is comprised of independent directors. The Committee oversees our financial reporting, quarterly reviews, and audits to assess whether their quality, integrity, and objectivity are sufficient to protect shareholders’ investments.
18
Item 4. Controls and Procedures (continued)
Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting for the three months ended June 30, 2026, that materially affected or were reasonably likely to materially affect our disclosure controls and procedures. Additionally, there were no
changes in our internal controls that could materially affect our disclosure controls and procedures after the date of their evaluation.
