**Note 6 — Line of Credit**

The Company has a line of credit available in the amount of $8,000,000 with M&T Bank (the "Credit Agreement"). Borrowings may be made against the line of credit as Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") Loans. The weighted average rate on outstanding borrowings as of September 30, 2025 was 7.31%. As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company had $6,763,863 and $6,263,863, respectively, outstanding under the line of credit facility.

The Credit Agreement contains customary covenants and restrictions on the Company's ability to engage in certain activities and financial covenants requiring the Company to maintain certain financial ratios. As of September 30, 2025, the Company was not in compliance with certain financial covenants under its Amended and Restated Credit Agreement with M&T Bank, including the minimum fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.10:1.00 and the maximum total leverage ratio of 4.75:1.00.

On November 12, 2025, the Company received a written waiver from M&T Bank for these covenant defaults. The waiver requires the Company to (i) repay approximately $1.3 million of outstanding term and equipment debt, which is included as part of the long-term debt, by November 14, 2025; (ii) execute subordination agreements on shareholder loans prohibiting repayment without lender consent; and (iii) reduce the revolving credit line commitment from $8.0 million to $7.5 million. The impact to the unamortized debt issuance cost in Note 7 was immaterial.

The Company remains in good standing under the Credit Agreement and continues to classify the debt as a liability under ASC 470. Management expects to comply with all modified terms and covenants on a go-forward basis.

Significant expenses within loss from operations, as well as within net loss, include general and administrative expenses, and other expenses which are each separately presented on the Company's Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss.

**Note 15 Subsequent Events**

On October 10, 2025, the Company received a letter from The Nasdaq Stock Market, confirming that the Company is now in compliance with Listing Rule 5250(c)(1), and the matter of the delinquent filings, which was previously disclosed in an 8-K filing dated April 23, 2025, is now considered closed.

On November 12, 2025, the Company received a waiver letter from its senior lender, M&T Bank, related to the Company's noncompliance with (i) the minimum Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio of 1.10:1.00 and (ii) the maximum Total Leverage Ratio of 4.75:1.00 as of September 30, 2025 (each as defined in the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated November 30, 2024, as amended). The lender waived the identified defaults, subject to (among other conditions) (a) repayment of certain term and equipment loans and (b) execution of documentation satisfactory to the lender, including subordination of any shareholder loans, and (c) a reduction of the revolving credit availability from $8.0 million to $7.5 million. As a result, the Company reclassified $964,993 of the term and equipment loans, from long term debt to current debt.

On November 12, 2025, the Company repaid $1.3 million on two loans to M&T Bank as required by the waiver letter using both internally provided funds and $1.1 million obtained from a stockholder loan. The final terms of that stockholder loan, as well as the subordination agreement with M&T Bank, will be approved and finalized before December 28, 2025 as outlined in the bank's waiver letter. The stockholder loan is from the Company's majority stockholder and Chief Executive Officer. The terms of the stockholder agreement are expected to include an interest rate similar to the loans that were paid off. The amortization period will be 35 months, similar to the remaining number of payments on the loans that were paid off.

Pursuant to the waiver letter, the revolving line of credit availability has been reduced to $7.5 million.

**Overview**

Syntec Optics is vertically integrated from design and component manufacturing for lens system assembly to imaging module integration for system solutions. Making our own tools, molding, and nanomachining allows close interaction and recut ability, enabling special techniques to hold tolerances up to sub-micron level. Syntec has assembled a world class design for manufacturability team to augment its production team with deep expertise to fully leverage our vertical integration from component making to optics and electronics assembly. Syntec Optics has steadily developed variety of other complementary manufacturing techniques to provide a wide suite of horizontal capabilities including thin films deposition coatings, glass molding, polymer molding, tool-making, mechanicals manufacturing, and nanomachining.

Syntec became a leader in the industry by pioneering polymer-based optics and then subsequently adding glass optics and optics made from other materials including crystals and metals. Polymer-based optics provide numerous advantages compared to incumbent glass-based optics. Polymer-based optics are smaller, lower weight, lower cost, and offer very high-performance optical solutions. For all these reasons, Syntec is able to deliver products to our clients that are lighter, smaller, and suitable for cutting edge technology products, including the newly evolving silicon photonics industry.

Our designs and assembly processes are developed in-house in the United States. In 2016, Syntec Optics expanded its manufacturing facility to nearly 90,000 square-feet, allowing us to increase our production capacity and offer additional advanced manufacturing processes under one roof which provide us the ability to increase sales to existing customers and increase penetration of our end-markets. Our facility provides a streamlined, partially autonomous production process for our current customers, which comprises optical assembly, electro-optics assembly, polymer optics molding, glass optics molding, opto-mechanical assembly, nanomachining and thin films coating. Our facility also provides availability to expand the number of advanced manufacturing processes to handle increased volumes of existing and new customer orders.

Syntec Optics focuses on four end markets of defense, medical, consumer, and communications all with several mission-critical applications with strong tailwinds.

In 2023, Syntec Optics launched low weight night vision optics and further, announced hybrid light-weight magnifier and thermal clip on in the defense end market. Also, in 2023, Syntec Optics announced biomedical mirrors for sensing in the medical end market. Rounding out new product launches for 2023, in the communication end market, Syntec Optics launched microlens arrays and low earth satellite optics.

**Key Factors Affecting Our Operating Results**

Our financial position and results of operations depend to a significant extent on the following factors:

***End Market Consumers***

The demand for our products ultimately depends on demand from customers in our current end markets. We generate sales through (1) Tier 1 suppliers and (2) through OEMs.

An increasing proportion of our sales has been and is expected to continue to be derived from sales to defense. biomedical and industrial/consumer OEMs, driven by continued efforts to develop and expand sales to OEMs with whom we have longstanding relationships. Future OEM sales will be subject to risks and uncertainties, including the number of defense, biomedical and industrial/consumer products these OEMs manufacture and sell, which in turn may be driven by the expectations these OEMs have around end market demand.

Demand from end markets is impacted by a number of factors, including travel restrictions (global pandemics or geo-political conflicts), fuel costs and energy demands (including an increasing trend towards the use of green energy), as well as overall macro-economic conditions. Sales of our optics and photonics enabled components and sub-components have also benefited from the increased global conflict, the United States dynamic relationships with other world powers that may have a conflicting view with western-style democracy, the movement towards reshoring of advanced manufacturing, biomedical components and sub-components needed to support physicians in their battle against global pandemics, and the increased global demand for high-fidelity data communications on all corners of the globe.

Syntec Optics plans to grow to the new end markets of communications and sensing. Syntec Optics entered the communications end market in 2023. Syntec Optics is currently engaged as a supplier for a U.S. Department of Commerce's National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) funded research and development project for the sensing end market. The communication end market is characterized by the use of optics and photonics for data transmittal and reception of information, including, for example, satellite communications and other associated applications. The sensing end-market is characterized by the use of optics and photonics to detect scattered light or light with an altered refractive index due to the presence of a medium within a wide range of potential applications, including, for example, disease detection and other associated applications.

***Supply***

We currently rely on strategically selected electronics, highly engineered polymers and aluminum manufacturers located in the United States to manufacture our highly specialized optic and photonics enabled components and sub-components, and we intend to continue to rely on these suppliers going forward. Our close working relationships with our Unites States based suppliers, reflected in our ability to (x) increase our purchase order volumes (qualifying us for related volume-based discounts) and (y) order and receive delivery of raw materials in anticipation of required demand, has helped us moderate increased supply-related costs associated with inflation and to avoid potential shipment delays. To mitigate against potential adverse production events, we opted to build our inventory of key raw materials. In connection with these stockpiling activities, we experienced an increase in prepaid inventory compared to prior periods as suppliers required upfront deposits in response to supply chain disruptions.

As a result of the active steps we have taken to manage our inventory levels, we have not been subject to the shortages or price impacts that have been present for manufacturers of optic and photonic enabled components or sub-components.

***Product and Customer Mix***

Our sales consist of sales of highly specialized optic and photonic enabled components and sub-components. These products are sold to different customer types (e.g., OEMs and Tier 1 manufacturers) and at different prices and involve varying levels of costs. In any particular period, changes in the mix and volume of particular products sold and the prices of those products relative to other products will impact our average selling price and our cost of goods sold. The price of our products may also increase as a result of increases in the cost of components due to inflation, labor and raw materials. In addition, revenues from these larger customers may fluctuate from time to time based on these customers' business needs and customer experience, the timing of which may be affected by market conditions or other factors outside of our control. These customers have a broad product purchase mix across various departments of Syntec Optics. Syntec Optics supplies several mission critical components and sub-components to these customers that are not tied to a single application, customer initiative, or purchase order. We expect sales to increase as we further advance our full-system design expertise and product offerings and customers increasingly demand more sophisticated systems, rather than drop-in replacements. In addition to the impacts attributable to the general sales mix across our products, our results of operations are impacted by the relative margins of products sold. As we continue to introduce new products at varying price points, our overall gross margin may vary from period to period as a result of changes in product and customer mix.

***Production Capacity***

All of our design, advanced manufacturing and assembly currently takes place at our nearly 90,000 square foot headquarters and manufacturing facility located in Rochester, New York. We currently operate optical, opto-mechanical and electro-optical assembly lines in addition to molding, nanomachining, testing and thin-film production lines. Consistent with our operating history, we plan to continue to automate additional aspects of our advanced manufacturing operations. Our existing facility has the capacity to add additional production lines and construct and operate pilot production lines for new components and sub-components, all designed to maximize the capacity of our manufacturing facility. Although our automation efforts are expected to reduce our costs of goods, we may not fully recognize the anticipated savings when planned and could experience additional costs or disruptions to our production activities.

***Competition***

We compete with traditional glass optic manufacturers and electro-optic manufacturers, who primarily either import their products or components or manufacture products under a private label. As we continue to expand into new markets, develop new products and move towards production of our polymer based and glass-polymer based optic hybrids and photonics enabled components and sub-components, we will experience competition with a wider range of companies. These competitors may have greater resources than we do and may be able to devote greater resources to the development of their current and future technologies. Our competitors may be able to source materials and components at lower costs, which may require us to evaluate measures to reduce our own costs, lower the price of our products or increase sales volumes in order to maintain our expected levels of profitability.

***Research and Development***

Our research and development are primarily focused on the advanced manufacturing of polymer and glass-polymer based optic and photonics enabled components and sub-components. The next stage in our technical development is to construct our products to optimize performance, lower weight and increase longevity to meet and exceed industry standards for our target end markets. Ongoing testing and optimizing of more complicated systems and sub-systems for our existing end markets will assist us in increasing penetration in our current end markets and expanding into targeted end markets.

**Components of Results of Operations**

***Net Sales***

Net sales are primarily generated from the sale of our optics and photonics enabled components and sub-components to OEMs.

***Cost of Goods Sold***

Cost of goods sold includes the cost of raw materials and other components of our optic and photonic enabled components and sub-components, labor, overhead, utilities, and depreciation and amortization.

***Gross Profit***

Gross profit, calculated as net sales less cost of goods sold, may vary between periods and is primarily affected by various factors including average selling prices, product costs, product mix, customer mix and production volumes.

***Operating Expenses***

*General and Administrative*

General and administrative costs include personnel-related expenses attributable to our executive, finance, human resources, selling and marketing, and information technology organizations, certain facility costs, office related depreciation, and fees for professional services.

***Total Other Income (Expense)***

Other income (expense) consists primarily of interest expense and debt issuance costs.

***Net Sales***

Net sales decreased by $0.9 million, or 11%, to $7.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, as compared to $7.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024. This decrease was primarily due to decreases in consumer markets of $0.6 million, decrease of $0.2 million in the defense market, and $0.1 in the medical market.

Net sales decreased by approximately $0.5 million, or 3%, to $20.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, as compared to $21.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. This decrease was primarily due to a decrease of $1.7 million in the consumer market, partially offset by increases in the defense market of $0.3 million, an increase in the medical market of $0.7 million, and an increase in the communication market of $0.1 million.

***Cost of Goods Sold***

Cost of revenue increased by $0.1 million, to $6.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, as compared to $6.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024. This increase was primarily due to an increase of in material costs. For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the cost of revenue decreased by $0.6 million driven by decreases in manufacturing overhead costs partially offset by an increase in material costs.

***Gross Profit***

Gross profit decreased by 54%, to $0.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, as compared to $1.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024. This decrease was primarily due to the decrease in revenue and the increase in costs of goods sold. The increase in costs of goods sold was driven by an increase in labor expenses in 2025, and an increase in materials cost, particularly for aluminum. For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, gross profit increased slightly to $4.8 million from $4.7 million, for the nine months ended September 30, 2024.

***General and Administrative Expenses***

General and administrative expenses increased by $0.3 million, or 20%, to $2.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, as compared to $1.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024. This increase was primarily due to an increase in management fees related to compensation of independent board members and audit fees related to the completion of the 2024 audit. For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, general and administrative expenses of $5.6 million were down $0.3 million from 2024, driven by decreases in outside consulting fees, decreases in research and development expenses, reduction of sales wages, and a reduction in general and administrative bonuses, with the various expense improvements partially offset by increases in management fees to independent board members, higher audit fees related to the completion of the 2024 audit, and an increase in management expense in the manufacturing area.

***Total Other (Expenses) Income***

Other (expenses) income remained unchanged at $0.2 million expense for both of the three months ended September 30, 2025 and September 30, 2024. Other expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 of $0.6 million increased by $0.4 million, due to a $0.3 million reduction of other income attributed to the sale of an asset in 2024.

***Income Tax Expense (Benefit)***

Income tax expense (benefit) decreased by $0.1 million, to zero for the three months ended September 30, 2025, as compared to ($0.1) million for the three months ended September 30, 2024. For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, income tax provision of $0.0 million compared to an income tax benefit of $0.4 million in 2024.

***Net Income (Loss)***

Net loss increased by $1.4 million to $1.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, as compared to a $0.0 million net income for the three months ended September 30, 2024. This increase was primarily due to a decline in sales of $0.9 million, an increase in cost of goods sold of $0.1 million, an increase in general and administrative expenses of $0.3.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, net loss increased by $0.5 million to $1.4 million as compared to $0.9 million net loss in 2024. The increase was driven by a $0.5 million decrease in sales from $21.1 million to $20.6 million, a decrease in other income of $0.4 million, and change in the tax benefit provision of $0.4 million, with the negative drivers being partially offset by a reduction in cost of goods sold of $0.6 million, as well as a decrease in general and administrative expenses of $.3 million, and other minor changes.

***Critical Accounting Estimates***

Our condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. The preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements requires us to make judgments and estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities in our financial statements. We base our estimates on historical experience, known trends and events and various other factors that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Our actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. On a recurring basis, we evaluate our judgments and estimates in light of changes in circumstances, facts, and experience. The effects of material revisions in an estimate, if any, will be reflected in the consolidated financial statements prospectively from the date of the change in the estimate.

We believe that the following accounting policies are those most critical to the judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our financial statements.

***Inventory Valuation***

We periodically review physical inventory for excess, obsolete, and potentially impaired items and reserves. Any such inventory is written down to net realizable value. The reserve estimate for excess and obsolete inventory is dependent on expected future use and requires management judgement.

***Income Taxes***

We account for income taxes using the asset and liability method. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences of temporary differences between the carrying amounts and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted rates. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred taxes is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

We recognize the financial statement effect of an uncertain income tax position when it is more likely than not, based on the technical merits, that the position will be sustained upon examination. Recognized income tax positions are measured at the largest amount that is greater than 50% likely to be realized. A valuation allowance is recorded to reduce deferred income tax assets to an amount, which in the opinion of management is more likely than not to be realized.

Management judgment is required in determining our provision for income taxes, our deferred tax assets and liabilities, and any valuation allowance recorded against our deferred tax assets. We consider factors such as the cumulative income or loss in recent years; reversal of deferred tax liabilities; projected future taxable income exclusive of temporary differences; the character of the income tax asset, including income tax positions; tax planning strategies and the period over which we expect the deferred tax assets to be recovered in the determination of the valuation allowance. In the event that actual results differ from these estimates, or we adjust our estimates in the future, we may need to adjust our valuation allowance, which could materially impact our financial position and results of operations.

**Non-GAAP Financial Measures**

This Quarterly Report includes a non-generally accepted account principles within the United States ("U.S. GAAP") measure that we use to supplement our results presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest and other income, tax and depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is calculated as EBITDA adjusted for non-recurring items, and business combination expenses. Adjusted EBITDA is a performance measure that we believe is useful to investors and analysts because it illustrates the underlying financial and business trends relating to our core, recurring results of operations and enhances comparability between periods.

Adjusted EBITDA is not a recognized measure under U.S. GAAP and is not intended to be a substitute for any U.S. GAAP financial measure and, as calculated, may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of performance of other companies in other industries or within the same industry. Investors should exercise caution in comparing our non-GAAP measure to any similarly titled measure used by other companies. This non-GAAP measure excludes certain items required by U.S. GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to information reported in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

*Adjusted EBITDA*

We define adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, as net earnings (loss) before interest and other expenses, net, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization, as adjusted to exclude non-recurring items. We utilize adjusted EBITDA as an internal performance measure in the management of our operations because we believe the exclusion of these non-cash and non-recurring charges allow for a more relevant comparison of our results of operations to other companies in our industry and is in accordance with the Non-GAAP Financial Measures Compliance & Disclosure Interpretations (Reference Question 102.03).

The Company has identified several non-recurring items included in our non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA financial measure. These items encompass management fees, professional & transaction fees, technology start-up costs, optical molding evaluation expenses, glass molding evaluation expenses, and executive transition expenses.

The table below presents our adjusted EBITDA, reconciled to net income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024.

**Liquidity and Capital Resources**

Liquidity describes the ability of a company to generate sufficient cash flows to meet the cash requirements of its business operations, including working capital needs, debt service, acquisitions, contractual obligations and other commitments. We assess liquidity in terms of our cash flows from operations and their sufficiency to fund our operating and investing activities. As of September 30, 2025, our principal sources of liquidity were cash totaling $0.6 million and a line of credit with $0.7 million available.

The Company maintains a credit facility with M&T Bank consisting of a revolving line of credit and term loans under an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated November 30, 2024, as amended on March 25, 2025. The facility contains customary financial covenants, including a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio and a maximum total leverage ratio. The line of credit is included in the calculation of these ratios.

As of September 30, 2025, the Company was not in compliance with these financial covenants. On November 12, 2025, M&T Bank provided a formal written waiver of the covenant defaults. As a condition of the waiver, the Company agreed to (i) repay certain term and equipment loans aggregating approximately $1.3 million by November 14, 2025; (ii) execute subordination agreements on shareholder loans prohibiting repayment without lender consent;; and (iii) reduce total availability under the revolving credit line from $8.0 million to $7.5 million.

To facilitate the required paydowns under the waiver, the Company has obtained approximately $1.5 million of financing from a related party (the Company's majority stockholder and Chief Executive Officer) in the form of a debt agreement.

Following these actions, the Company remains in good standing with M&T Bank and continues to have full access to its $7.5 million revolving credit facility, subject to customary borrowing-base provisions. Management believes that these modifications strengthen the Company's liquidity position and expects to maintain compliance with all amended covenants through the remainder of 2025.

Significant factors affecting the management of our ongoing cash requirements are the adequacy of available bank lines of credit and our ability to attract long-term capital with satisfactory terms. The sources of our liquidity are subject to all of the risks of our business and could be adversely affected by, among other factors, risks associated with events outside of our control, such as economic consequences of global pandemics and geopolitical conflicts, monetary policy changes in the U.S. and other countries and their impact on the global financial markets, supply chain disruptions and electronics and other material shortages, a decrease in demand for our products, our ability to integrate current and future acquisitions, deterioration in certain financial ratios, availability of borrowings under our revolving credit facility, and other market changes in general. See "Risks Relating to Syntec Optics' Financial Position and Capital Requirements" included in Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024.

 ****

***Operating Activities***

Net cash provided by operating activities was $0.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, as compared to net cash used in operating activities of $1.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The primary drivers for the year over year change include an increase in the net loss of $0.5 million, the one time gain on sale of asset in 2024 of $0.3 million, a reduction in deferred income tax of $0.5 million, an inventory increase of $1.0 million, a change in year over year accounts receivable of $0.9 million, and an increase in accounts payable of $1.6 million.

***Investing Activities***

Net cash used in investing activities was $0.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, as compared to net cash used in investing activities of $0.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The net cash used in investing activities increased primarily due to a one-time disposal of assets in 2024 that did not take place in 2025.

***Financing Activities***

Net cash used in financing activities was $0.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, as compared to net cash provided by financing activities of $0.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The primary drivers of this change was a decrease in the debt borrowings in 2025 of $0.6 million, partially offset by a decrease in the debt repayments of $0.3 million.

**Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk**

Our primary market risk exposure is interest rate sensitivity. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, there have been no material changes to the information included under Part II, Item 7A, "Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk," in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024.

**Item 4. Controls and Procedures**

***Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures***

As required by Rule 13a-15 under the Exchange Act, we have carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Report. This evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer.

Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our Company's reports filed under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, cannot provide absolute assurance that the objectives of the controls system are met, and no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within a company have been detected. Based on the evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2025, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective due to the following identified material weaknesses:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1. We
 lack documentation of formal internal control process and controls including lack of review of journal entries.

2. We
 lack necessary corporate accounting resources to maintain adequate segregation of duties.

3. We
 lack timely reconciliation controls in the areas of classification of revenue, accounts payable, accrued legal expenses, provision
 for income taxes, and inventory.

4. We
 lack controls related to proper cut-off of costs of goods sold and general and administrative expenses.

5. We
 lack control related to identification and disclosure of related party transactions.

6. We
 lack control related to proper fair value methodology utilized for valuation of complex financial instrument in connection with contingent
 earnout arrangement.

7. We
 lack the necessary information technology ("IT") general controls infrastructure in the areas of user access and program
 change-management due to insufficient documentation and training, and inadequate IT risk assessment process. Additionally, we lack
 controls around the review of SOC-1 reports and lack of cyber security related controls.

8. We
 lack control related to the evaluation and calculation of finance leases in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 842-20-25-1a.

9. We
 lack control related to identification of stock-based compensation agreements and related accounting for and disclosure of such agreements.

10. We lack control related to the evaluation of debt covenants and classification
of debt between current and non-current liabilities.

***Remediation Plans and Status***

As disclosed in the section titled "Evaluation of Internal Controls and Procedures," we have identified certain control deficiencies. To address these issues, we have designed and are in the process of implementing the following remediation initiatives, which are aligned with the COSO framework:

● Enhance corporate governance through increased oversight by the Audit Committee, including additional reviews of internal control improvements and financial statements prior to publication (Control Environment; Monitoring Activities).

● Design and implement internal control flowcharts to strengthen segregation of duties (Control Activities; Risk Assessment).

● Increase staffing levels and competencies to enable appropriate separation of duties (Control Environment; Control Activities).

● Implement a formal checklist, review process, and controls over all journal entries and modifications to trial balances (Control Activities; Information & Communication).

● Hire additional experienced accounting and reporting professionals to prepare and approve consolidated financial statements and footnote disclosures in accordance with U.S. GAAP (Control Environment; Control Activities).

● Engage outside professional support to assist with SEC reporting requirements and special circumstances to ensure timely and accurate filings (Control Environment; Information & Communication).

● Establish a formal quarterly attestation process for managers and accounting staff to reinforce and monitor the use of control processes and workflows (Monitoring Activities; Information & Communication).

● Implement a formalized system for tracking control measures to reduce complexity and improve management's review of control effectiveness (Monitoring Activities; Information & Communication).

While the Company has initiated these remediation efforts, not all measures have been fully implemented as of the date of this filing. We will continue to enhance our internal control framework, employ additional procedures, and utilize appropriate tools and resources to ensure that our consolidated financial statements are presented fairly, in all material respects.

The Company believes these remediation measures will significantly strengthen its internal control environment and provide the foundation to remediate the identified material weaknesses in future reporting periods.

***Management's Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting***

This Report does not include a report of management's assessment regarding internal control over financial reporting or an attestation report of the Company's registered public accounting firm due to a transition period established by rules of the SEC for newly public companies. Additionally, our auditors will not be required to formally opine on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404 until we are no longer an "emerging growth company" as defined in the JOBS Act.

***Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting***

Other than the material weaknesses and remediation efforts mentioned above, there were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended September 30, 2025 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

**PART II - OTHER INFORMATION**

**Item 1. Legal Proceedings**

We may be subject to legal proceedings, investigations and claims incidental to the conduct of our business from time to time. We are not currently a party to any material litigation or other legal proceedings brought against us. We are also not aware of any legal proceeding, investigation or claim, or other legal exposure that has a more than remote possibility of having a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.

**Item 1A. Risk Factors**

The Company's risk factors are described in Part I, Item 1A, "Risk Factors", of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024. The risks described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 are not the only risks we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial position, or future results of operations. The risk factors should be read together with, the risk factors described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1. I
 have reviewed this quarterly report on Form 10-Q of Syntec Optics Holdings, Inc.;

2. Based
 on my knowledge, this report does not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary

 presented in this report;

4. The
 registrant's other certifying officer(s) and I are responsible for establishing and maintaining disclosure controls and procedures
 (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) for the registrant and have:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;a) Designed
 such disclosure controls and procedures, or caused such disclosure controls and procedures to be designed under my supervision, to
 ensure that material information relating to the registrant, is made known to us by others within those entities, particularly during
 the period in which this report is being prepared; and

b) (Paragraph
 omitted pursuant to SEC Release Nos. 33-8238/34-47986 and 33-8392/34-49313);

 the effectiveness of the registrant's disclosure controls and procedures and presented in this report my conclusions about

 and

d) Disclosed
 in this report any change in the registrant's internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the registrant's
 most recent fiscal quarter (the registrant's fourth fiscal quarter in the case of an annual report) that has materially affected,
 or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the registrant's internal control over financial reporting; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5. The
 registrant's other certifying officer(s) and I have disclosed, based on our most recent evaluation of internal control over
 financial reporting, to the registrant's auditors and the audit committee of the registrant's board of directors (or
 persons performing the equivalent functions):

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;a) All
 significant deficiencies and material weaknesses in the design or operation of internal control over financial reporting which are
 reasonably likely to adversely affect the registrant's ability to record, process, summarize and report financial information;
 and

b) Any
 fraud, whether or not material, that involves management or other employees who have a significant role in the registrant's
 internal control over financial reporting.
