Inventory

Properties, in its own words

We lease approximately 39,000 square feet as our main facility at 25 Hendrix Road, West Henrietta, New York, 14586 (a suburb of Rochester). This facility houses our headquarters office, R&D and manufacturing space under an

operating lease for the facility that we began occupying in October 2015. In October 2022, we leased an additional 12,000 square feet for our new waveguide manufacturing facility at 30 Becker Road, also in West Henrietta, New York. The total base rent contractual payment obligations under these operating leases are currently $675,000 per year. The lease at 25 Hendrix Road has an original five-year term with an option by the Company to renew for two additional three-year terms at pre-agreed lease rates. On September 23, 2025, the Company executed lease renewal agreements for both its current properties located in West Henrietta, New York extending the current lease terms to November 30, 2027. We believe that our West Henrietta facilities are in good operating condition and currently adequately serve our needs and expect to negotiate new lease renewals by November 30, 2027.

Risk factors and legal proceedings

The risks Vuzix names in Item 1A of its 10-K filed Mar 12, 2026: 33 risks under these headings, as written.¹⁶

• General Business and Industry Risks
• We have incurred net losses since our inception and may continue to incur losses.
• We operate in a highly competitive and complex market and believe our future success depends in part on our ability to effectively manage the growth and increased complexity of our business.
• The size, resources and brand name of some of our competitors may allow them to compete more effectively than we can, which could result in a loss of our market share and a decrease in our revenue.
• Our lack of long-term purchase orders or binding commitments from customers could result in significant volatility and a rapid decline in our sales and operating results.
• We depend on advances in certain technology by other companies and if those advances do not materialize, some of our anticipated new products could be delayed or cancelled.
• If microdisplay-based personal displays or near-eye displays do not gain greater acceptance in the market for head worn or mobile displays, our business strategy may fail.
• There are a number of competing providers of microdisplay-based personal display technology, including smart glasses, and we may fail to capture a substantial portion of the personal wearable display market.
• Our products may experience declining unit prices and we may not be able to offset that decline with production cost decreases or higher unit sales.
• Our business depends in part on access to third-party platforms or technologies, and if the access is withdrawn, denied, or is not available on terms acceptable to us, or if the platforms or technologies change without notice to us, our business and operating results could be adversely affected.
• Our use of open-source software could negatively affect our ability to sell our products and could subject us to possible litigation.
• Our operating results may be adversely impacted by worldwide political, economic, public health uncertainties, wars and specific conditions in the markets we address.

Legal proceedings

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.
