VUZIX CORPORATION
NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1 – Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of Vuzix Corporation (“the Company” or “Vuzix”) have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, the unaudited consolidated financial statements do not include all information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The results of the Company’s operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the results of the Company’s operations for the full fiscal year or any other period.
The accompanying interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto of the Company as of and for the year ended December 31, 2024, as reported in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 13, 2025.
Customer Concentrations
For the three months ended September 30, 2025,
For the nine months ended September 30, 2025,
As of September 30, 2025,
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company’s financial instruments primarily consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, unearned revenue, accrued expenses, and income and other taxes payable. As of the consolidated balance sheet dates, the estimated fair values of the financial instruments were not materially different from their carrying values as presented due to the short maturities of these instruments.
Going Concern
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. This basis of accounting contemplates the recovery of our assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to the specific amounts and classifications of assets and liabilities, which might be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern.
The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update No. (ASU) 2014-15, “Presentation of Financial Statements — Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40): Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern”. As a result, management is primarily responsible for assessing if there is a going concern issue when issuing an entity’s financial statements. The going concern assumption underlies all
7
GAAP financial reporting and therefore requires and assumes that the financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. It presumes that a Company will continue normal business operations into the future.
Additional disclosure is required when there is substantial doubt about business continuity or substantial doubt that has not been alleviated by management’s mitigation plans. As required under applicable accounting standards, management has concluded that doubt may exist surrounding the Company's ability to meet its obligations within
The Company incurred net losses for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 of $
The Company’s cash requirements going forward are primarily for funding operating losses, research and development, working capital, and capital expenditures. Our cash requirements related to funding operating losses depend upon numerous factors, including new product development activities, our ability to commercialize our products, our products’ timely market acceptance, selling prices and gross margins, and other factors. Historically, the Company has met its cash needs primarily through the sale of equity securities. The Company will need to grow its business significantly to become profitable and self-sustaining on a cash flow basis or it will be required to cut its operating costs significantly or raise new equity and/or debt capital.
These historical financial factors initially raise doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company’s management intends to take actions necessary to continue as a going concern, as discussed herein. Management’s plans to alleviate the conditions that raise doubt include raising further capital and the implementation of operational improvements and the curtailment of certain development programs, both of which the Company expects will preserve cash.
Management’s plans concerning these matters and managing our liquidity include, among other things:
| ● | Reductions in our cash annual operating expenses across all operating areas, including in the areas of Research and Development, Sales and Marketing and General and Administrative; |
| ● | Delaying or curtailing discretionary and non-essential capital expenditures not related to near-term product and manufacturing needs and reducing other investing activities for the remainder of our 2025 and 2026 fiscal years; |
| ● | The expected margin contribution upon the commencement of volume manufacturing and sales of waveguides from our new waveguide manufacturing plant, particularly to OEM customers; and |
| ● | Continued pursuit of licensing and strategic opportunities around our waveguide technologies with potential OEMs, which would include the receipt of upfront licensing fees and on-going supply agreements. |
The Company has historically raised capital through the sale of equity securities. The Company filed a Registration Statement on Form S-3 that became effective in May 2024, which includes a sales agreement prospectus for the issuance and sale of up to $
8
As a result of management’s plan above, our current amount of cash on hand, and our historical ability to raise capital, management has concluded that doubt of our ability to continue as a going concern has been alleviated.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at year-end and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Segment Data, Geographic Information and Significant Customers
Operating segments are defined as components of an entity for which separate financial information is available and regularly reviewed by the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”). The Company’s CODM is its Chief Executive Officer. The Company is not organized by market and is managed and operated as one business. A single management team that reports to the CODM comprehensively manages the entire business. The Company does not operate any material separate lines of business or separate business entities and therefore manages its operations as a operating segment and, therefore, a reportable segment. Our CODM evaluates performance and makes operating decisions about allocating resources based on financial data presented on a consolidated basis, accompanied by information about revenue disaggregated by geographic region. Because our CODM evaluates financial performance on a consolidated basis, we have determined that we have a single operating segment composed of the consolidated financial results of Vuzix Corporation.
The CODM reviews financial information, presented on a consolidated basis, focusing on significant expenses and net loss/income for purposes of making operating decisions, allocating resources, and evaluating financial performance. The measure used by our CODM to assess performance and make operating decisions is net loss as reported on our consolidated statements of operations. Net loss is used by our CODM to identify underlying trends in the performance of our business and make comparisons with the financial performance of our competitors. The measure of segment assets is reported on the balance sheet as total consolidated assets. Our CODM also reviews total assets, as reported on our consolidated balance sheets, and purchases of fixed assets, as reported on our consolidated statements of cash flows.
Significant expenses regularly provided to and reviewed by the CODM are Cost of Sales, Research and Development, Total Compensation, General and Administrative, and Intangible Asset and Equity Investment Impairment. These segment items for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 are:

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2023, the FASB released Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which amends income tax disclosure requirements to enhance the transparency and decision usefulness for users of the consolidated financial statements. The standard will be effective for the Company beginning with its annual financial statements for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard, if any, on its financial statement disclosures.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses (“ASU 2024-03”), which requires public entities to provide disaggregated disclosures of certain expense captions presented on the face of the income statement into specific categories within the notes to the consolidated financial statements. ASU 2024-03 is effective for the Company’s annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The ASU may be applied either on a prospective or retrospective basis. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adoption of ASU 2024-03 on its financial statements and related disclosures.
In July 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2025-05, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets, which amends ASC 326-20 to provide a practical expedient (for all entities) and an accounting policy election (for all entities, other than public business entities, that elect the practical expedient) related to the estimation of expected credit losses for current accounts receivable and current contract assets that arise from transactions accounted for under ASC 606. The standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2025, including interim periods, and allows for early adoption. The Company is currently evaluating the impact on its financial statements and related disclosures.

Significant Judgments
Under Topic 606 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”, we use judgments that could potentially impact both the timing of our satisfaction of performance obligations and our determination of transaction prices used in determining revenue recognized by major product line. Such judgments include considerations in determining our transaction prices and when our performance obligations are satisfied for our standard product sales. For our Engineering Services, performance obligations are recognized over time using the input method, and the estimated costs to complete each project are considered significant judgments.
Performance Obligations
Revenues from our performance obligations are typically satisfied at a point-in-time for Smart Glasses, Waveguides and Display Engines, and our OEM Products, which are recognized when the customer obtains control and ownership, which is generally upon shipment. The Company considers shipping and handling activities performed to be fulfillment activities and not a separate performance obligation. The Company also records revenue for performance obligations relating to our Engineering Services over time by using the input method measuring progress toward satisfying the performance obligations. Satisfaction of our performance obligations related to our Engineering Services is measured by the Company’s costs incurred as a percentage of total expected costs to project completion, as the inputs of actual costs incurred by the Company are directly correlated with progress toward completing the contract. As such, the Company believes that our methodologies for recognizing revenue over time for our Engineering Services correlate directly with the transfer of control of the underlying assets to our customers.
Our standard product sales include a (

Note 3 – Loss Per Share
Basic loss per share is computed by dividing the loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution. During periods of net loss, all common stock equivalents are excluded from the diluted EPS calculation because they are anti-dilutive. Since the Company reported a net loss for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, the calculation for basic and diluted earnings per share is considered to be the same, as the impact of potential common shares is anti-dilutive. As of September 30, 2025 and 2024, there were

Note 14 – Litigation
We are involved in various lawsuits and claims arising in the ordinary course of business, including actions with respect to intellectual property, employment, and contractual matters. In connection with these matters, we assess, on a regular basis, the probability and range of possible loss based upon the developments in these matters. A liability is recorded in the consolidated financial statements if it is believed to be probable that a loss has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. Because litigation is inherently unpredictable and unfavorable resolutions could occur, assessing contingencies is highly subjective and requires judgments about future events. We regularly review outstanding legal matters to determine the adequacy of the liabilities accrued and related disclosures in consideration of many factors, which include, but are not limited to, past history, scientific and other evidence, and the specifics and status of each matter. We may change our estimates if our assessment of the various factors changes and the amount of ultimate loss may differ from our estimates, resulting in a material effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, and/or cash flows. With respect to these matters, based upon management’s current knowledge, the Company believes that the amount or range of any reasonably possible loss, if any, will not, either individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
The Company is not currently party to, nor is its property subject to any material legal proceedings.

Item 2.Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
You should read the following discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations in conjunction with the financial statements and related notes appearing elsewhere in this quarterly report and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.
As used in this report, unless otherwise indicated, the terms “Company,” “Vuzix”, “management,” “we,” “our,” and “us” refer to Vuzix Corporation.
Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Developments and Estimates
The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based upon our unaudited consolidated financial statements and related notes appearing elsewhere in this quarterly report. The preparation of these statements in conformity with GAAP requires the appropriate application of certain accounting policies, many of which require us to make estimates and assumptions about future events and their impact on amounts reported in our consolidated financial statements, including the statement of operations, balance sheet, cash flow and related notes. We continually evaluate our estimates used in the preparation of our financial statements, including those related to revenue recognition, allowance for credit losses, inventories, warranty reserves, product warranty, carrying value of long-lived assets, fair value measurement of financial instruments, valuation of stock compensation awards, and income taxes. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not apparent from other sources. Since future events and their impact cannot be determined with certainty, the actual results will inevitably differ from our estimates. Such differences could be material to the consolidated financial statements.
We believe that our application of accounting policies, and the estimates inherently required therein, are reasonable. We periodically re-evaluate these accounting policies and estimates and make adjustments when facts and circumstances dictate. Historically, we have found our application of accounting policies to be appropriate, and actual results have not differed materially from those determined using such necessary estimates.
Management believes certain factors and trends are important in understanding our financial performance. The critical accounting policies, judgments and estimates we believe have the most significant effect on our consolidated financial statements are:
| ● | Valuation of inventories; |
| ● | Going concern; |
| ● | Investments in equity securities; |
| ● | Carrying value of long-lived assets and other intangible assets; |
| ● | Software development costs; |
| ● | Revenue recognition; |
| ● | Product warranties; |
| ● | Stock-based compensation and modification accounting; and |
| ● | Income taxes. |
21
Our accounting policies are more fully described in the notes to our consolidated financial statements included in this quarterly report and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024. There have been no significant changes in our accounting policies for the nine months ended September 30, 2025.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have, or are reasonably likely to have, an effect on our financial condition, financial statements, revenues or expenses.
Business Matters
We are engaged in the design, manufacture, marketing and sale of augmented reality wearable display devices also referred to as head mounted displays (or “HMDs”, but also known as near-eye displays), in the form of Smart Glasses, AI-powered Smart Glasses, Waveguides, and Augmented Reality (“AR”) technologies. Our wearable display devices are worn like eyeglasses or attach to a head worn mount. These devices typically include cameras, sensors, and a computer that enables the user to view, record and interact with video and digital content, such as computer data, the Internet, social media or entertainment applications. Our wearable display products integrate micro-display technology with our advanced optics to produce compact high-resolution display engines, less than half an inch diagonally, which when viewed through our Smart Glasses products create virtual images that appear comparable in size to that of a computer monitor or a large-screen television. We design and manufacture waveguide optics and related coupling optics combined for use with compact display engines from third parties to form a see-through display module needed for AI/AR Smart Glasses.
With respect to our Smart Glasses and AI/AR products, we are focused on the enterprise, defense, industrial, medical and commercial markets. All of the mobile display and mobile electronics markets in which we compete have been subject to rapid technological change over the last decade, including the rapid adoption of tablets, larger screen sizes and display resolutions, along with declining prices on mobile phones and other computing devices, and as a result we must continue to improve our products’ performance and lower our costs. We believe our technology, intellectual property portfolio and position in the marketplace give us a leadership position in AI/AR and Smart Glasses products, waveguide optics, and display engine technology.

For the three months ended September 30, 2025, there was a gross loss from total sales of $411,307, or 35% compared to a gross loss of $259,848, or 19% in the comparable period in 2024. For the three months ended September 30, 2025, there was a gross profit of $113,656 on engineering services, or 43% compared to a gross profit of $329,570, or 83% compared to the comparable period in 2024.
Unapplied manufacturing overhead costs, not already added into product cost of sales, decreased by $36,734, or 7% for the three months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the 2024 comparable period. The decrease in the net dollar amount of these unapplied overhead costs in the current period versus the prior period was primarily driven by a further decrease in manufacturing headcount.
Depreciation and Amortization included in cost of sales was relatively flat for the three months ended September 30, 2025 versus the 2024 comparable period.
Research and Development. Our research and development expenses consist primarily of compensation costs for personnel including non-cash stock-based compensation expenses, third-party services, purchase of research supplies and materials, and consulting fees related to research and development. Software development expenses to determine technical feasibility before final development and ongoing maintenance are not capitalized and are included in research and development expenses.

Total selling and marketing expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2025 decreased by $619,052, or 35% compared to the comparable period in 2024. This decrease was largely due to a $250,000 decrease in bad debt expense and a $199,323 recovery of previously written-off bad debt; a $239,401 decrease in non-cash stock-based compensation expense; and a $40,465 decrease in computer hardware and software expenses: partially offset by a $33,638 increase in salary and benefits related expenses; and a $47,630 increase in advertising and trade show expenses.

Total general and administrative expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2025, decreased by $1,771,926, or 41% compared to the comparable period in 2024. The decrease was largely due to a $1,788,006 decrease in non-cash stock-based compensation expense related to our 2024 cash salary reduction program in exchange for equity, which ended on April 30, 2025, and the termination of the Company’s original LTIP, which was cancelled on June 16, 2025; partially offset by a $294,195 increase in IR and shareholder related expenses; and a $26,000 increase in IT consulting fees.
Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization expense, not included in cost of sales, for the three months ended September 30, 2025, was relatively flat at $424,335, compared to $410,697 in the comparable period in 2024.

The overall increase in other income was primarily the result of an increase of $61,526 in investment income earned on excess cash on hand; a decrease of $44,706 in other taxes; partially offset by an increase of $43,562 in foreign exchange losses.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, there was a gross loss from total sales of $1,437,792, or 36% compared to a gross loss of $646,245, or 14% in the comparable period in 2024.
Unapplied manufacturing overhead costs, not already added into product cost of sales, increased by $106,470, or 7% for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the 2024 comparable period. As a percentage of total sales, such costs increased to 40% compared to 33% in 2024 due to lower product revenue. The increase in the net dollar amount of these unapplied overhead costs in the current period versus the prior period was primarily driven by a further decrease in actual production levels during the 2025 period compared to the same period in 2024, as the Company has sufficient finished goods on hand to meet currently expected demand for current Smart Glasses models for the foreseeable future.
Depreciation and Amortization included in cost of sales decreased by $20,278, or 4% for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 versus the 2024 period.

Total general and administrative expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, decreased by $3,648,677, or 28%, compared to the comparable period in 2024. The decrease was largely due to a $3,200,368 decrease in non-cash stock-based compensation expense related to our 2024 cash salary reduction program in exchange for equity, which ended on April 30, 2025, and the termination of the Company’s original LTIP, which was cancelled on June 16, 2025; a $297,473 decrease in legal expenses; a $264,251 decrease in accounting and auditing fees; a $122,623 decrease in cash salary and benefits; and a $92,508 decrease in insurance premiums; partially offset by a $524,391 increase in IR and shareholder related expenses.
Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization expense, not included in cost of sales or research and development expenses, for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, was $1,242,828, compared to $2,569,413 in the comparable period in 2024, or a decrease of $1,326,585. This decrease was due to a significant decrease in amortization expense related to our Atomistic technology license, which was written-off as of June 30, 2024.
Other Income, Net. Total other income was $465,506 for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to other income of $239,896 in the comparable period in 2024, an increase of $225,610. The overall increase in other income was primarily the result of a decrease of $133,350 in foreign exchange losses; a decrease of $84,919 in other taxes; and a modest increase of $7,341 in investment income earned on excess cash on hand.
Provision for Income Taxes. There was no provision for income taxes in the respective nine-month periods ending September 30, 2025 and 2024.

Net changes in working capital items were $3,584,700 for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, with the largest factors resulting from a $2,134,085 decrease in inventory and vendor prepayments; a $651,529 increase in trade accounts payables and accrued expenses; and a $827,593 decrease in trade accounts and other receivables. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, we used a total of $19,717,197 in cash for operating activities.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, we used $2,090,434 of cash for investing activities, which included: $1,658,820 in manufacturing equipment and tooling for our new waveguide manufacturing facility; $381,614 in patent and trademark expenditures, and $50,000 of additional investment in a private corporation (see Note 8 for further details). For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, we used a total of $2,566,729 in cash for investing activities.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, we received $10,000,000 from financing activities.
As of September 30, 2025, the Company does not have any current or long-term debt obligations outstanding.
The Company incurred net losses for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 of $23,658,106; $73,538,157 for the year ended December 31, 2024; and $50,149,077 for the year ended December 31, 2023. The Company had net cash outflows from operations of $13,234,835 for the nine months ended September 30, 2025; $23,739,372 for the year ended December 31, 2024; and $26,277,824 for the year ended December 31, 2023. As of September 30, 2025, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $391,181,056. The Company’s cash outflows for investing activities were $2,090,434 for the nine months ended September 30, 2025; $2,919,949 for the year ended December 31, 2024; and $19,280,966 for the year ended December 31, 2023.
The Company’s cash requirements going forward are primarily for funding operating losses, research and development, working capital and capital expenditures. Our cash requirements related to funding operating losses depend upon numerous factors, including new product development activities, our ability to commercialize our products, our products’ timely market acceptance, selling prices and gross margins, and other factors. Historically, the Company has met its cash needs primarily through the sale of equity securities. The Company will need to grow its business significantly to become profitable and self-sustaining on a cash flow basis or it will be required to cut its operating costs significantly or raise new equity and/or debt capital.
These historical financial factors initially raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company’s management intends to take actions necessary to continue as a going concern, as discussed herein. Management’s plans to alleviate the conditions that raise substantial doubt include raising further capital, and the implementation of operational improvements and the curtailment of certain development programs, both of which the Company expects will preserve cash.
30
Management’s plans concerning these matters and managing our liquidity include, among other things:
| ● | Reductions in our cash annual operating expenses across all operating areas, including in the areas of Research and Development, Sales and Marketing and General and Administrative; |
| ● | Delaying or curtailing discretionary and non-essential capital expenditures not related to near-term product and manufacturing needs and reducing other investing activities for the remainder of our 2025 and 2026 fiscal years; |
| ● | The expected margin contribution upon the commencement of volume manufacturing and sales of waveguides from our new waveguide manufacturing plant, particularly to OEM customers; and |
| ● | Continued pursuit of licensing and strategic opportunities around our waveguide technologies with potential OEMs, which would include the receipt of upfront licensing fees and on-going supply agreements. |
The Company has historically raised capital through the sale of equity securities. The Company filed a Registration Statement on Form S-3 that became effective in May 2024, which includes a sales agreement prospectus for the issuance and sale of up to $50,000,000 of our common stock that may be issued and sold from time to time under a sales agreement with an investment bank in an ATM offering. Since commencement of the ATM offering in May 2024, the Company has raised $20,363,120, net of broker expenses, including $5,550,599 and $9,640,449, respectively, in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, under this sales agreement. Management monitors the capital markets on an ongoing basis and may consider raising capital if favorable market conditions develop. If the Company needs to raise capital for additional liquidity, the Company may pursue additional equity financings, further curtail expenses, or enter into one or more strategic transactions. However, management can make no assurance that the Company will be able to successfully complete any of the forementioned pursuits on terms acceptable to the Company, or at all.
As a result of management’s plan above, our current amount of cash on hand, and our historical ability to raise capital, management has concluded that substantial doubt of our ability to continue as a going concern has been alleviated.

All statements in this quarterly report that are not historical facts are forward-looking statements. We may, in some cases, use terms such as “anticipates,” “believes,” “could,” “estimates,” “expects,” “intends,” “may,” “plans,” “potential,” “predicts,” “projects,” “should,” “will,” “would” or similar expressions that convey uncertainty of future events or outcomes to identify forward-looking statements.
All such forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties and should be evaluated in light of important risk factors that may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performances or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. These risk factors include, but are not limited to, those described in “Risk Factors” under Item 1A and elsewhere in our Annual
32
Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, and other filings we make with the Securities and Exchange Commission and the following: business and economic conditions, rapid technological changes accompanied by frequent new product introductions, competitive pressures, dependence on key customers, inability to gauge order flows from customers, fluctuations in quarterly and annual results, the reliance on a limited number of third-party suppliers, limitations of our manufacturing capacity and arrangements, the protection of our proprietary technology, the dependence on key personnel, changes in critical accounting estimates, potential impairments related to investments, foreign regulations, changes in trade policy in the United States and other countries, including changes in trade agreements and the imposition of tariffs, liquidity issues, and potential material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting. Further, during weak or uncertain economic periods, customers may delay the placement of their orders. These factors often result in a substantial portion of our revenue being derived from orders placed within a quarter and shipped in the final month of the same quarter.
We caution readers to carefully consider such factors. Many of these factors are beyond our control. In addition, any forward-looking statements represent our estimates only as of the date they are made and should not be relied upon as representing our estimates as of any subsequent date. While we may elect to update forward-looking statements at some point in the future, except as may be required under applicable securities laws, we specifically disclaim any obligation to do so.
