**(Unaudited)**

**NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION OF BUSINESS, GOING CONCERN AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES**

**Basis of Presentation**

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Applied Energetics, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary North Star Power Engineering, Inc. ("North Star") (collectively, "company," "Applied Energetics," "we," "our" or "us"). All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP") for interim financial information, the instructions for Form 10-Q and the rules and regulations of the SEC. Accordingly, since they are interim statements, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for annual financial statements, but reflect all adjustments consisting of normal, recurring adjustments, that are necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any future periods. The December 31, 2024, balance sheet information was derived from the audited financial statements as of that date. The interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the company's audited consolidated financial statements contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K.

**Going Concern**

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the company incurred a net loss of $10,888,076, had negative cash flows from operations of $6,617,654 and may incur additional future losses due to limited contract activity. At September 30, 2025, the company had total current assets of $1,819,197 and total current liabilities of $923,972, resulting in working capital of $895,225. At September 30, 2025, the company had cash and cash equivalents of $1,332,225.

Based on the company's current business plan, it believes its cash balance as of the date of this filing, together with anticipated revenues from government contracts, will be sufficient to meet its anticipated cash requirements for the near term. However, there can be no assurance that the current business plan will be achievable. Such conditions raise substantial doubts about the company's ability to continue as a going concern for one year from the date the financial statements are issued.

The company's existence depends upon management's ability to develop profitable operations. Management is devoting substantially all of its efforts to developing its business and raising capital and there can be no assurance that management's efforts will result in profitable operations or enable it to overcome future liquidity concerns. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability of assets, the amount or classification of liabilities or otherwise that might be necessary should the company be unable to continue as a going concern.

**(Unaudited)**

Trade conditions, such as unusually high and fluctuating tariffs, exacerbated supply chain shutdowns and delays, contribute to this uncertainty. Additionally, global tensions and related economic sanctions around the globe, could impact the company's ability to source necessary supplies and equipment which could materially and adversely affect its ability to continue as a going concern. In addition, the company's ability to continue as a going concern may depend on its ability to raise capital, which may be impacted by these events, including as a result of increased market volatility, or decreased market liquidity. This may result in third-party financing being unavailable on terms acceptable to the company or at all. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

To further improve its liquidity position, the company's management continues to explore additional equity financing through discussions with investment bankers and private investors. The company may be unsuccessful in its effort to secure additional equity financing. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability of assets and the amount or classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the company be unable to continue as a going concern.

**Use of Estimates**

The preparation of unaudited condensed financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Management bases its assumptions on historical experiences and on various other assumptions that it believes to be 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. In addition, management considers the basis and methodology used in developing and selecting these estimates, the trends in and amounts of these estimates, specific matters affecting the amount of and changes in these estimates, and any other matters related to these estimates, including significant issues concerning accounting principles and financial statement presentation. Such estimates and assumptions could change in the future as more information becomes known which could impact the amounts reported and disclosed herein. Significant estimates include revenue recognition, carrying amounts of long-lived assets, valuation assumptions for share-based payments, evaluation of debt modification accounting, effective borrowing rate determinations, analysis of fair value transferred upon debt extinguishment, valuation and calculation of measurements of income tax assets and liabilities.

**Net Loss Attributable to Common Stockholders**

Basic loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period before giving effect to stock options, stock warrants, restricted stock units and convertible securities outstanding, which are considered to be dilutive common stock equivalents. Diluted net loss per common share is calculated based on the weighted average number of common and potentially dilutive shares outstanding during the period after giving effect to dilutive common stock equivalents. Contingently issuable shares are included in the computation of basic loss per share when issuance of the shares is no longer contingent. The number of shares underlying warrants, options, restricted stock units and our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, which were not included in the computation of earnings per share because the effect was antidilutive, was 41,134,019 and 31,044,936 for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

**NOTE 8 – DUE TO RELATED PARTIES**

On July 31, 2018, our now deceased CEO deposited $50,000 into the company's account. Although it has been suggested that the funds may have been intended for use toward Mr. Dearmin's healthcare, the board does not know for certain what the purpose of the funds were or the nature of any intended investment. Accordingly, the board is investigating the appropriate disposition of the funds which will likely be to the estate of Mr. Dearmin. Until such a determination is made, the board does not intend to use these funds for any corporate purpose. For reporting purposes, the company has treated the deposit as a due to related party.

**Preferred Stock**

As of September 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024, there were 13,602 shares of Series A Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock (the "Series A Preferred Stock") issued and outstanding, respectively. The company has not paid the dividends commencing with the quarterly dividend due August 1, 2013. Dividend arrearages as of September 30, 2025, including previously accrued dividends of $48,079 included in our balance sheet total approximately $425,062. Our Board of Directors suspended the declaration of the dividend, commencing with the dividend payable as of February 1, 2015, since we did not have a surplus (as such term is defined in the Delaware general corporation Law) as of December 31, 2014, until such time as we have a surplus or net profits for a fiscal year.

Our Series A Preferred Stock has a liquidation preference of $25.00 per Share. The Series A Preferred Stock bears dividends at the rate of 6.5% of the liquidation preference per share per annum, which accrues from the date of issuance, and is payable quarterly. Dividends may be paid in: (i) cash, (ii) shares of our common stock (valued for such purpose at 95% of the weighted average of the last sales prices of our common stock for each of the trading days in the ten trading day period ending on the third trading day prior to the applicable dividend payment date), provided that the issuance and/or resale of all such shares of our common stock are then covered by an effective registration statement and the company's common stock is listed on a U.S. national securities exchange or the Nasdaq Stock Market at the time of issuance or (iii) any combination of the foregoing. If the company fails to make a dividend payment within five business days following a dividend payment date, the dividend rate shall immediately and automatically increase by 1% from 6.5% of the liquidation preference per offered share of Series A preferred stock to 7.5% of such liquidation preference. If a payment default shall occur on two consecutive dividend payment dates, the dividend rate shall immediately and automatically increase to 10% of the liquidation preference for as long as such payment default continues and shall immediately and automatically return to the Initial dividend rate at such time as the payment default is no longer continuing.

Each share of Series A Preferred Stock is convertible at any time at the option of the holder into a number of shares of common stock equal to the liquidation preference (plus any unpaid dividends for periods prior to the dividend payment date immediately preceding the date of conversion by the holder) divided by the conversion price (initially $12.00 per share, subject to adjustment in the event of a stock dividend or split, reorganization, recapitalization or similar event). If the closing sale price of the common stock is greater than 140% of the conversion price on 20 out of 30 trading days, the company may redeem the Series A Preferred Stock in whole or in part at any time through October 31, 2010, upon at least 30 days' notice, at a redemption price, payable in cash, equal to 100% of the liquidation preference of the shares to be redeemed, plus unpaid dividends thereon to, but excluding, the redemption date, subject to certain conditions. In addition, beginning November 1, 2010, the company may redeem the Series A Preferred Stock in whole or in part, upon at least 30 days' notice, at a redemption price, payable in cash, equal to 100% of the liquidation preference of the Series A Preferred Stock to be redeemed, plus unpaid dividends thereon to, but excluding, the redemption date, under certain conditions.

If a change of control occurs, each holder of shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock that are outstanding immediately prior to the change of control shall have the right to require the corporation to purchase, out of legally available funds, any outstanding shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock at the defined purchase price. The purchase price is defined as: per share of Preferred Stock, 101% of the liquidation preference thereof, plus all unpaid and accumulated dividends, if any, to the date of purchase thereof. The purchase price is payable, at the corporation's option, (x) in cash, (y) in shares of the common stock at a discount of 5% from the fair market value of Common Stock on the Purchase Date (i.e. valued at a 95% discount of the Common Stock on the Purchase Date), or (z) any combination thereof. The Company doesn't anticipate issuing any additional shares of Series A Preferred Stock.

If the Corporation pays all or a portion of the Purchase Price in Common Stock, no fractional shares of Common Stock will be issued; instead, the company will round the applicable number of shares of Common Stock up to the nearest whole number of shares; provided that the Corporation may pay the Purchase Price (or a portion thereof), whether in cash or in shares of Common Stock, only if the Corporation has funds legally available for such payment and may pay the Purchase Price (or a portion thereof) in shares of its Common Stock only if (i) the Common Stock is listed on a U.S. national securities exchange or the Nasdaq Stock Market at the time of issuance and (ii) a shelf registration statement covering the issuance by the Corporation and/or resales of the Common Stock issuable as payment of the Purchase Price is effective on the Payment Date unless such shares are eligible for immediate resale in the public market by non-affiliates of the Corporation.

**Share-Based Payments**

Effective November 12, 2018, the Board of Directors of Applied Energetics, Inc. adopted the 2018 Incentive Stock Plan.

The board reserved a total of 50,000,000 shares for possible issuance under the plan.

We have, from time to time, also granted non-plan options and restricted stock units to certain officers, directors, employees and consultants. Total stock-based compensation expense for grants to officers, employees and consultants was $3,661,622 and $2,528,293 for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, and 2024, respectively, which was charged to general and administrative expense.

As of September 30, 2025, the company has $8,449,897 of unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested stock options granted and outstanding, net of estimated forfeitures. The cost is expected to be recognized on a weighted average basis over a period of approximately six years.

**NOTE 10 – REVENUE RECOGNITION**

The company derives revenue from technical research detailing the findings of its investigations to its customers under contract for specific projects. Under Topic 606, revenue is recognized when control of promised goods and services is transferred to customers, and the amount of revenue recognized reflects the consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled in exchange for the goods and services transferred. A performance obligation is a contractual promise to transfer a distinct good or service to the customer and is the unit of account under Topic 606. The transaction price of a contract is allocated to distinct performance obligations and recognized as revenue when or as the performance obligations are satisfied. The company's contracts require significant integrated services and are accounted for as a single performance obligation, and revenue is recognized by the company over the contract term at a fixed contract price.

Contract modifications are routine in the performance of our contracts. Contracts are often modified to account for changes in the contract specifications or requirements. In most instances, contract modifications are for goods or services that are not distinct, and, therefore, are accounted for as part of the existing contract.

**NOTE 11– COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES**

**Operating Leases**

In March 2021, the company signed a five-year lease for a 13,000 square foot laboratory/office space in Tucson at the University of Arizona Tech Park. The initial base rent was $6.7626 per rentable square foot for year one and escalated to $9.2009 per rentable square foot in year two. It further escalated to $11.4806 per rentable square foot in year three, and $13.1740 per rentable square foot in year four. It is to further escalate to $14.9306 per rentable square foot in year five, in addition to certain operating expenses and taxes.

On June 7, 2023, the company entered into an amendment to extend the term of the original lease from April 26, 2026 to July 31, 2028. Included in the lease amendment is extension space commencing on August 1, 2023. As of August 1, 2023, the company has secured additional square footage in the amount of 9,805 rentable square feet (8,375 usable square feet). The initial base rent for expansion space was $9.10 per rentable square foot for year one, and escalated to $10.20 in year two, $11.30 in year three, $12.40 in year four and $13.50 in year five, plus certain operating expenses and taxes.

On July 3, 2024, Applied Energetics, Inc. exercised its option to lease more than 5,000 square feet of additional space at the University of Arizona Tech Park. The company will occupy, in the aggregate, approximately 26,000 sq. ft. of space at the Arizona Tech Park. The company took the option to lease this additional space under the June 7, 2023, amendment.

The company incurred lease expense for its operating leases of $269,489 which was included in general and administrative expenses in the statements of operation for the nine months ended September 30, 2025. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the company made cash lease payments in the amount of $266,715.

At September 30, 2025, we had approximately $95,000 in future minimum lease payments due for the three months ending December 31, 2025. The below table presents the future minimum lease payments due reconciled to lease liabilities.

**Guarantees**

The company agrees to indemnify its officers and directors for certain events or occurrences arising as a result of the officers or directors serving in such capacity. The maximum amount of future payments that the company could be required to make under these indemnification agreements is unlimited. However, the company maintains a director's and officer's liability insurance policy that limits its exposure and enables it to recover a portion of any future amounts paid. As a result, it believes the estimated fair value of these indemnification agreements is minimal because of its insurance coverage, and it has not recognized any liabilities for these agreements as of September 30, 2025 and 2024.

**Litigation**

On January 15, 2021, the company filed a complaint in the United States District Court, Southern District of New York, against Gusrae, Kaplan & Nusbaum (GKN) and Ryan Whalen for malpractice and breach of New York Rules of Professional Conduct (NYRPC) by both parties as former counsel to the company. On May 28, 2021, GKN and Mr. Whalen filed a motion to dismiss the complaint. On June 25, 2021, the company filed an opposition to the motion. On July 13, 2021, GKN and Mr. Whalen filed their reply brief. On March 30, 2022, United States Magistrate Judge Debra Freeman signed an order denying the motion of GKN and Mr. Whalen to dismiss the company's claim for malpractice and for rescission of the shares-for-fees agreement under which GKN and Whalen received 1,242,710 shares of the company's common stock. The motion was partially granted as to the separate claim for violation of NYRPC 1.7 and 1.8 because the court found that it was duplicative of the malpractice claim. Motions for summary judgment in the case are fully briefed, and the judge held oral arguments on August 7, 2025. On September 17, the court issued an Opinion and Order denying both parties' motions for Summary Judgment. The pre-trial filing documents deadline, originally set for October, has been extended to January 15, 2026. No date has been set for trial.

As with any litigation, the company cannot predict the outcome with certainty, but the company expects to provide further updates on the status of the litigation as circumstances warrant.

The company may, from time to time, be involved in legal proceedings arising from the normal course of business.

**NOTE 12 – SEGMENT INFORMATION**

ASC Topic 280, "Segment Reporting," establishes standards for companies to report in their financial statement information about operating segments, products, services, geographic areas, and major customers. Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise that engage in business activities from which it may recognize revenues and incur expenses, and for which separate financial information is available that is regularly evaluated by the chief operating decision maker ("CODM"), or group, in deciding how to allocate resources and assess performance.

The CODM has been identified as the Chief Executive Officer, who reviews the assets, operating results, and financial metrics for the company as a whole to make decisions about allocating resources and assessing financial performance. Accordingly, management has determined that there is only one reportable segment.

The CODM assesses performance for the single segment and decides how to allocate resources based on net income or loss that also is reported on the statement of operations as net income or loss. When evaluating the company's performance and making key decisions regarding resource allocation, the CODM reviews each of the key metric included in net income or loss and set forth in the table below.

Applied Energetics, Inc., (sometimes referred to as the "company") is a corporation organized and existing under the laws of the State of Delaware. Our executive office is located at 9070 S. Rita Road, Suite 1500, Tucson, Arizona 85747, (520) 628-7415. Our website is www. appliedenergetics.com.

Applied Energetics, Inc. specializes in the development and manufacture of advanced high-performance lasers and optical systems and integrated guided energy systems for prospective defense, national security, industrial, biomedical, and scientific customers worldwide.

**Technology, Capabilities, and Patents**

Applied Energetics, Inc. is a global leader in developing ultrashort pulse lasers as the next generation optical sources exhibiting ever-increasing output energy, peak power and frequency agility while also providing decreased size, weight, and cost of these systems for customers. Applied Energetics utilizes patented, dual-use technologies to advance critical industries. Leveraging our proprietary fiber-based architecture and wavelength- and pulse-agility capability, our Ultrashort Pulse (USP) technology can enable users to achieve specific effects across different use cases with an unmatched blend of size, weight, and power attributes. While initially designed to meet the emerging needs and priorities for the national security community, our directed energy technology also has commercial applications in both the biomedical and advanced manufacturing industries.

Our UltraShort Pulse Lasers (USP) are designed to provide:

● Frequency Agile Optical Sources from Ultraviolet (UV) to Far Infrared (IR)

● Pulse Duration Agility

● Size, Weight, and Power Optimization

● Advanced Fiber Applications

● Laser Guided Energy (LGE®)

● Laser Induced Plasma Channel (LIPC®)

The Applied Energetics scientific team is continuously innovating and expanding our patent portfolio to cover these technological breakthroughs and further enhance our suite of solutions for threat disruption for the Department of Defense, the intelligence community, and for commercial, biomedical and space applications with optical sources operating from the deep ultraviolet to the far infrared portions of the electromagnetic spectrum.

Applied Energetics has developed, successfully demonstrated and holds all crucial intellectual property rights to a dynamic directed energy technology called Laser Guided Energy (LGE®) and Laser Induced Plasma Channel (LIPC®). LGE and LIPC are technologies that can be used in a new generation of high-tech directed energy systems. Applied Energetics' LGE and LIPC technologies are wholly owned by Applied Energetics and protected by one or more of Applied Energetics' 27 issued patents and 9 Government Sensitive Patent Applications (GSPA). These GSPA's are held under secrecy orders of the US government, providing the company with extended protection rights. The company also has nine pending patent applications. We continue to file patent applications as we deem appropriate to protect our intellectual property and enhance our competitive advantage.

Applied Energetics' directed energy technologies are vastly different from conventional directed energy systems, i.e. Applied Energetics' proprietary fiber-based architecture is a key differentiator for our most recent technology demonstrators. Compared with traditional continuous wave laser technologies with their larger footprints, AE's architecture enables orders of magnitude size-weight-power reductions on all deliverables, creating powerful, dual-use and agile systems that can fit a host of platforms while delivering very high-intensity, ultrashort pulses of light to the required target. This unique directed energy solution allows extremely high peak power and energy, with target and effects tunability, and is effective against a wide variety of potential targets.

Applied Energetics' unique optical fiber-based laser architectures also enable unmatched wavelength agility as well as pulse duration agility. Using innovative and highly specialized frequency shifting techniques, wavelengths can be custom tuned from the deep ultraviolet to the far infrared. In addition, temporal outputs can be adjusted from continuous wave to sub-picoseconds. The technology enables the customer to adjust the lasers' operating parameters, ultimately creating more flexibility to change wavelength and pulse width. This feature allows for optimization of laser performance for defense or commercial applications.

Our proprietary USP laser technology provides a significantly more compact solution than current continuous wave laser platforms while still delivering high peak power. Continuous wave laser systems are typically used to heat a target and, during continuous illumination, this heat transfer leads to melting or charring of the material. Using continuous wave output powers that now exceed 100 kilowatts (1kW = 1000 watts), it can take anywhere from seconds to minutes to impact a target. By contrast, Applied Energetics has delivered USP lasers to national security users that exceed five terawatts (1 TW = 1 trillion watts) in peak power, with the difference being that this peak power from a USP laser is delivered in a pulse that is less than a trillionth of a second. During this short pulse duration, and having such a high peak intensity, near-instantaneous ablation of the surface of the threat takes place. The net results of our innovative USP approaches are highly effective lasers with mountable footprints that require only a fraction of the size and weight of other-directed energy technologies.

As Applied Energetics looks toward the future, our corporate strategic roadmap builds upon the significant value of the company's USP laser capabilities and key intellectual property, including LGE and LIPC, to offer our prospective partners, co-developers and system integrators a variety of next-generation ultrashort pulse and frequency-agile optical sources, from the ultraviolet to the far infrared portion of the electromagnetic spectrum, to address numerous challenges within the national security, biomedical, and advanced manufacturing market sectors.

**Recent Developments**

Effective October 3, 2025, Applied Energetics has appointed Dr. David Spence to serve as its Chief Product Officer. Dr. Spence, has more than 25 years of experience in the conception, design, and commercialization of advanced laser technologies across industrial, scientific, and defense markets. He has held leadership roles at Spectra-Physics, Newport Corporation, and most recently, was Senior Engineering Manager, Advanced Technology Development Group for MKS Instruments, where he directed cross-functional teams developing next-generation ultrashort pulse laser systems, nonlinear optical solutions, and diode-pumped solid-state amplifiers. Dr. Spence is also an Optica Fellow, holds over a dozen issued patents, and has authored numerous scientific publications. Dr. Spence holds a Ph.D. in Laser Physics from the University of St. Andrews in Scotland and a B.Sc. in Physics with First Class Honors from the University of Stirling.

We have entered into an Executive Employment Agreement with Dr. Spence for a term of three years, renewable thereafter for sequential one-year periods. The agreement calls for (i) a cash salary of $250,000 per annum, payable monthly, and eligibility for a discretionary bonus, and (ii) incentive stock options to purchase up to 500,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $1.71 per share which vest in four equal annual installments commencing on the first anniversary of the grant date.

Effective October 1, 2025, we appointed two new members to serve on our Board of Advisors. For their services they are to receive compensation including a monthly cash stipend and/or stock options which are subject to vesting.

On June 3, 2025, our Board of Directors expanded its number to seven members and appointed Christopher Donaghey, its President and CEO, and Scott Andrews to serve as new directors, effective immediately.

On September 25, 2025, our board established an Audit Committee and a Compensation Committee. Members of both committees include Bradford Adamczyk, Michael Alber and Scott Andrews, with Mr. Andrews serving as Chairman of the Compensation Committee and Mr. Alber as Chairman of the Audit Committee.

In early July, the company generated over 1 billion watts (1 gigawatt) of peak optical power at near-infrared wavelengths in a laboratory-scale ultrashort pulse laser (USPL) system, marking a significant milestone in its technological development. This achievement marks the latest in a rapidly accelerating series of performance milestones. Since December 2023, Applied Energetics has advanced its systems from hundreds of thousands of watts, to multi-megawatt levels in late 2024, to 25 million watts in April 2025, and 400 million watts in May 2025. Surpassing the gigawatt threshold demonstrates the scalability and maturity of Applied Energetics' proprietary technology and solidifies its leadership in next generation directed energy capabilities. This breakthrough was achieved using our proprietary USPL architecture, developed entirely in-house and protected by a growing portfolio of patents.

Effective May 17, 2025, the company received a Requisition from the University of Rochester in the amount of $181,639. This is part of a contractual arrangement with the university in the approximate amount of $250,000 to support its Laboratory for Laser Energetics (LLE) for ongoing efforts to explore pulsed laser technologies. Work on the contract commenced on July 10, 2025 with a meeting at Applied Energetics headquarters in Tucson, AZ with Dr. Jon Zuegel, Laser Development and Engineering Division Director and a Senior Scientist at the LLE to discuss the research to be provided by the company. We have completed work under the Requisition and are working with the university to plan and commence work on the next phase.

**Ongoing Business Operations**

In the three months ended September 30, 2025, the company continued work relating to its strategic collaboration with Kord Technologies, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of KBR, to explore the potential development and integration of an advanced pulsed laser system with Kord's FIREFLY<sup>TM</sup> High Energy Laser Weapon System (HELWS). The current phase of the project began in the first quarter of 2025 with the purchase of a specially modified Firefly HELWS unit from Kord which the company is using to work on the development and integration of its proprietary Ultrashort Pulse technology in its newly opened Battle Lab, with the assistance of Kord personnel under a related services agreement.

Effective August 23, 2023, Applied Energetics executed a contract with the Department of the Navy, Office of Naval Research (ONR) with an aggregate contract price of $1.99 million payable over two years as the company performs its obligations under the contract. Under this contract, we have worked to develop a high-peak and high-average power USP optical system. The system is expected to demonstrate effects compatible with multiple Navy platforms and missions with an attractive size, weight, and power-cooling footprint. During the quarter ended June 30, 2025, the company was notified that no further funds are available for this contract and advised to stop work on it. Receipt of additional amounts under the contract, including for any work to be performed, is in doubt. The company intends to continue working in parallel on this technology as part of its ongoing internal research and development program.

Effective May 15, 2023, Applied Energetics executed a Phase II Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) contract with the U.S. Army at an aggregate contract price of $1.148 million payable over two years as the company performs its obligations thereunder, with the first year currently funded. The objective of this Phase II award is to further the development and testing of an IR laser system utilizing technologies that were investigated under the US Army Phase I STTR contract which the company was awarded in May 2022. This Phase II contract award follows a successful Phase I which established a computational concept with physical modeling and simulation to establish the feasibility of an IR laser system. Phase I was performed in collaboration with the James C. Wyant College of Optical Sciences at the University of Arizona. The company has continued its work under the contract, and provided all required reports, since its execution. On May 9, 2025, the company entered into a no-cost modification to continue work on the contract through November 14, 2025. The company also amended its related agreement with the University of Arizona consistent with this extension.

Effective March 12, 2024, a grant previously awarded to the company from the Department of the Navy, Office of Naval Research, was transitioned into a contract. The original grant from May 2022 had a two-year period of performance. The new contract superseded the grant with a ceiling value of $1,217,535 under a base period of performance through November 11, 2024 and a 12-month unfunded option period that was to end November 11, 2025. On September 4, 2024, the company received a funding increase on this contract of $237,647 which brought the total funding on the contract to $1,455,182. Under this contract, we have worked to accelerate the development and testing of Infrared (IR) optical technology with an ultrashort pulse laser (USPL) system. The overall objective is to advance and ruggedize optical technologies that can be fielded on a variety of USMC platforms and are able to operate in harsh conditions. During the quarter ended June 30, 2025, the company was notified that funding has ceased for this contract. The contract is still in effect, and no stop-work order was received. The company has ceased recording revenue for this contract, and receipt of additional amounts under it is in doubt. The company intends to continue working in parallel on this technology as part of its ongoing internal research and development program.

**Business Development Activities**

We continue to submit proposals to, and attend briefings with, various defense and other government agencies who have expressed an interest in our technology and applications. Our efforts in this area of development have produced some results. In addition to the contracts which we have been awarded, our team has been invited to, and completed, multiple briefings focused on our capabilities and submissions. We intend to continue developing and submitting proposals and to be available to attend on-site briefings. We have also engaged in discussions with private entities and academic institutions with the objective of possibly collaborating on one or more projects. Some of these could result in further customer agreements or other opportunities to grow our business.

The National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), which sets defense spending policies, is currently delayed for the federal government fiscal year 2026, which started on October 1, 2025. Moreover, the appropriations bills comprising the federal budget, which fund government spending, have not yet been passed by Congress. This impacts all proposals under review by the Department of Defense (DoD) as parts of the U.S. government are "unfunded" and operating under a government shutdown. Although certain mandatory programs and "excepted" activities continue to be funded, none of the programs for which we might submit proposals would fall under these exceptions.

The House and Senate reached a potential deal, on November 9, 2025, for a Continuing Resolution (CR) that would extend government funding through a specified date, which itself is being negotiated. The House initially passed a CR to keep the government funded until November 21. However, the Senate advanced a new agreement that includes a CR to fund the government through January 30, 2026, with the addition of three full-year appropriations bills (appropriations for the Veterans Affairs Department, Agriculture Department and the legislative branch). All other agencies would operate at their fiscal 2025 levels under the CR. Until a Continuing Resolution is adopted by both houses, many programs for which we or our prospective strategic partners have submitted proposals will remain unfunded and be unable to move forward.

In addition, the current administration has established the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) whose mission is to sharply reduce federal spending. In February 2025, President Trump stated that he has directed DOGE to review defense spending for possible waste, fraud and abuse. The administration has also indicated that it may pursue significant reductions to the U.S. defense budget, if both Russia and China would agree to similar cuts in their respective national security spending. The potential impact on the company of DOGE and possible cuts to the defense and national security industries, if any, is uncertain. Notwithstanding these budgetary concerns, the administration and Pentagon have indicated an interest in continuing to fund innovative defense related technologies, including in the area of directed energy.

The current budgetary and deficit funding environment, continuing inflation, tariffs and other ongoing supply chain disruptions, the appropriations process, federal government shutdown, and DOGE, among other items, all continue to create significant short and long-term challenges and risks to the company and its business development endeavors. However, we remain optimistic that the innovative nature of our technology and its novel approach to addressable threats position the company for development, growth, and market opportunities.

**Strategic Plan and Analysis**

The core of our strategy has been to continue growing our management and science teams with highly qualified individuals. This has driven our recruitment efforts in the areas of R&D, science, modeling and simulation, marketing and finance. We have recently added, and are also contemplating adding additional, members to our Board of Directors and our Board of Advisors. Our board and leadership team have worked to align key innovations with our roadmap to encourage and enable internal filing for a broad, strategic, and robust intellectual property portfolio and continue surveying the literature for acquisitions of parallel intellectual property to that end. We also intend to pursue strategic corporate acquisitions in related fields and technology. The company's management continues to explore any favorable equity financing opportunities.

Our goal with the Applied Energetics Strategic Plan is to increase the energy, peak power and frequency agility of USP optical sources while decreasing the size, weight, and cost of these systems. We are in the process of developing this breadth of very high peak power USP lasers and additional optical sources that have a broad range of applicability for threat disruption for the Department of Defense, commercial, and biomedical applications, such as biophotonic illumination and imaging. Although the historical market for Applied Energetics' LGE and USP technology is the U.S. Government, the USP technologies are expected to provide numerous platforms for commercial additive and subtractive manufacturing and biomedical and imaging markets, creating a substantially larger market for our products to address. Since 2020, the Applied Energetics team has been able to develop partnerships and teaming arrangements with the three leading laser and optics institutes in the United States, namely, the University of Arizona, the University of Central Florida, and the University of Rochester Laboratory for Laser Energetics.

As with many government contractors, we have experienced recent challenges with funding of our contracts by the DoD. While we continue to pursue contracts with DoD and other government agencies, we simultaneously conduct research and development of our technology on an internal basis and focus on strategic partnerships with other entities. Our goal is to continue to accelerate the technology readiness level of our solutions to be able to submit more proposals and be prepared to conduct more customer and partner demonstrations of our technology in our recently opened Battle Lab. Under the current state of cutbacks in government funding both by individual agencies and DOGE, we cannot be certain that any such contracts will be forthcoming.

Through our analysis of the market, and in discussions with potential customers, we remain convinced that customers are becoming more receptive and interested in directed energy technologies. According to the US Department of Defense fiscal budgets from 2017 through 2023, its directed energy spending grew from approximately $500 million in 2017 to over $1.695 billion in 2023, an increase of nearly 240%. Market analysis and projections have estimated that this directed energy sector is anticipated to reach $32.1 billion globally by 2033. We continue to be optimistic about our future and the growing opportunities in directed energy applications, especially since this growth to nearly $1.7 B annually is being accomplished without a recognized Program of Record (POR) for directed energy platforms. We believe that once these technologies are funded in production for a POR, or are approved to be integrated on fielded platforms in volumes to effect threat reduction, these DOD budgets for directed energy will grow exponentially larger to support the technology insertion. Notwithstanding the funding cuts at the ONR as described above, the Applied Energetics team anticipates a continuation of strong funding for the directed energy community. With our existing patent portfolio, and through further advancements of our technologies, we believe we have the substantial building blocks needed to become a significant and successful developer in the USP marketplace. These innovations could play a significant role in the efforts from the new administration to implement the Golden Dome for America program by advancing directed energy and other integrated technological solutions for missile and other threat protection for the country. Estimated budget requirements would exceed $50B annually.

Our research and development programs depend on our ability to procure the necessary optical and fabricated materials, components, electronics and other supplies. A significant, prolonged increase in inflation could negatively impact the cost of materials and components, which could be a particular problem with respect to our fixed fee contracts. Within the current geopolitical context, there are ongoing embargos of exports from some global suppliers of various materials that are used in electronics and some diode and laser materials, which can have negative effects on technology supply chains. This, coupled with tariffs and other trade disruptions, could significantly impair our ability to source necessary supplies and equipment when and in quantities needed. We continuously monitor potential supply chain issues and supplier liquidity and work with our supply base to ensure adequate sources of materials at reasonable costs. In some instances, we depend upon a single source of supply, but we are developing multiple sources, both internal to AE and externally where possible to mitigate the risk. In some cases, we must comply with specific procurement requirements, which can limit the suppliers and subcontractors we may utilize.

**<u>Revenue</u>**

Revenue decreased by approximately $1,274,000 to approximately $389,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 from approximately $1,663,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. In April 2025, we were notified by a customer that no further funds were available for two of our contracts , resulting in a decrease in revenue for the period. Although the contracts remain open, the we have been advised to stop work and accordingly have suspended all work under the contracts themselves. Despite the suspension, the company continues to advance the underlying technology through its internal research and development efforts. Both the customer and the company are actively seeking alternative sources of funding, including from within the original contracting agency and other departments of the U.S. Department of Defense.

**<u>Cost of Revenue</u>**

Cost of revenue decreased by approximately $1,002,536 to approximately $164,813 for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 from approximately $1,167,349 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. This decrease was primarily attributable to the suspension of funding of two contracts by a federal government customer. The cost of material, supplies and direct labor incurred were expensed to R&D while our programs and work remain active and in place.

**<u>General and Administrative</u>**

General and administrative expenses increased by approximately $1,690,000 to approximately $8,807,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to approximately $7,118,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The increase was primarily driven by an increase in non-cash compensation of approximately $806,000, an increase in payroll and related costs of approximately $372,000, an increase in professional fees of approximately $213,000, and an increase in materials and supplies of approximately $193,000.

**<u>Selling and Marketing</u>**

**<u>Research and Development</u>**

Research and development expenses increased by approximately $926,000 to approximately $1,115,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to approximately $189,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, primarily due to an increase in labor costs of approximately $602,000 and material cost of approximately $324,000 associated with continued development of our USP laser technologies and programs which remain in place as we continue to work on them.

**<u>Net Loss</u>**

Our operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, resulted in a net loss of approximately $10,862,000 an increase of approximately $3,816,000 compared to the approximately $7,047,000 net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, primarily due to a decrease in revenue as well as an increase in general and administrative expenses, research and development expenses and selling and marketing expenses.

**Liquidity and Capital Resources**

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the company incurred a net loss of approximately $10,863,000, had negative cash flows from operations of approximately $6,617,654 and will likely incur additional future losses due to reduction in government contract activity and the expenses discussed under Results of Operations. In their report accompanying our financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024, our independent auditors stated that our financial statements were prepared assuming that we would continue as a going concern and that they have substantial doubt as to our ability to do so for one year from the date the financial statements are issued based on our recurring losses from operations and need to raise additional capital. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability of assets and the amount or classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the company be unable to continue as a going concern.

On September 30, 2025, the company had total current assets of $1,819,197 and total current liabilities of $3,923,969 resulting in working capital surplus of $895,225. Approximately $3,000,000 of current liabilities was attributable to deferred equity financing. At September 30, 2024, the company had total current assets of $2,025,823 and total current liabilities of $888,684 resulting in a working capital surplus of $1,137,139.

During the first nine months of 2025, the net cash outflow from operating activities was $6,617,654. This amount was comprised primarily of our net loss of $10,862,572, offset by non-cash stock-based compensation expense of $3,661,622, depreciation and amortization of $195,539, amortization of ROU assets of $195,352, amortization of prepaid assets of $51,250, and cash used from changes in assets and liabilities of $141,155 from the increase in accounts receivable of $226,855, increase in accounts payable of $15,659 and accrued expenses and compensation of $196,329 off set by the net decrease in prepaids and deposits of $105,110 and operating lease liabilities of $192,578.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the net cash outflow from investing activities was $1,181,630. This was for the purchase of equipment.

During the first nine months of 2025, the net cash inflow from financing activities was $8,966,697. This amount consisted of $9,004,247 in proceeds from stock subscriptions and $91,210 from the exercise of options and warrants, which were offset by $17,435 tax withholdings related to the share settlement of RSUs and $111,325 of repayment of an insurance premium loan.

On October 8, 2025, the company completed the placement of 5,995,675 shares of its common stock, par value $0.001 per share, some of which were underlying pre-funded common stock purchase warrants, in a private sale to individual purchasers at a price of $1.80 per share (or $1.799 per underlying share for pre-funded warrants), for aggregate proceeds in the amount of $10,789,999. The pre-funded warrants are exercisable immediately at a price of $0.001 per share but may not be executed in any amount which would cause the holder thereof to beneficially own in excess of 4.99% of the company's common stock. The company has agreed to use its best efforts to include the shares for registration with the Securities and Exchange Commission in the registration statement it files. All of the purchasers are accredited, sophisticated investors, and the issuance of the shares was not in connection with any public offering in accordance with Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933.

Based on the company's current business plan, we believe our cash balance as of the date of this report, along with revenue from our current contracts and proceeds from the recently completed sale of common stock, will be sufficient to meet the company's anticipated cash requirements for the near term. However, we cannot be certain that the current business plan will be achievable. In addition, we recently received verbal notice that funding under two of the company's contracts has been discontinued, as described under Results of Operations and Ongoing Business Activities. Although these contracts are still in effect, receipt of any additional funds under them is highly uncertain, which negatively affects our anticipated cash flows from operating activities.

The company's existence depends upon management's ability to develop profitable operations. Management is devoting substantially all of its efforts to developing its business and raising capital, as needed, and cannot be certain that these efforts will be successful. Management's business development efforts may not result in profitable operations. To fund its research and development and marketing efforts, the company's management continues to explore possible financing opportunities through discussions with investment bankers and private investors. The company may not be successful in its effort to secure additional financing on terms it considers favorable. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result should the company be unable to continue as a going concern.

**ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK**

Disclosure under this item is not required for a "smaller reporting companies."

**ITEM 4. Controls and Procedures**

**Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures**

We maintain "disclosure controls and procedures," as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits 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, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer (and principal accounting and financial officer) ("CEO"), has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act), as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based on such evaluation, our CEO has concluded that as of September 30, 2025, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of such date as a result of a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting due to a lack of segregation of duties (resulting from limited personnel) and written policies and procedures with the accounting functions and evidence of control review. Under the direction of our CEO and guidance of an outside contractor, we are developing a plan to remediate this material weakness, including having hired additional personnel to implement and oversee the required policies and procedures.

**Changes in Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting**

There was no change in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this report, which has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

**PART II – OTHER INFORMATION**

**ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS**

On January 15, 2021, the company filed a complaint in the United States District Court, Southern District of New York, against Gusrae, Kaplan & Nusbaum (GKN) and Ryan Whalen for malpractice and breach of New York Rules of Professional Conduct by both parties as former counsel to the company. On May 28, 2021, GKN and Mr. Whalen filed a motion to dismiss the complaint. On June 25, 2021, the company filed an opposition to the motion. On July 13, 2021, GKN and Mr. Whalen filed their reply brief. On March 30, 2022, United States Magistrate Judge Debra Freeman signed an order denying the motion of GKN and Mr. Whalen to dismiss the company's claim for malpractice and for rescission of the shares-for-fees agreement under which GKN and Whalen received 1,242,710 shares of the company's common stock. The motion was partially granted as to the separate claim for violation of NYRPC 1.7 and 1.8 because the court found that it was duplicative of the malpractice claim. Motions for summary judgment in the case are fully briefed, and the judge held oral arguments on August 7, 2025. On September 17, the court issued an Opinion and Order denying both parties' motions for Summary Judgment. The pre-trial filing documents deadline, originally set for October, has been extended to January 15, 2026. No date has been set for trial.

As with any litigation, the company cannot predict the outcome with certainty, but the company expects to provide further updates on the status of the litigation as circumstances warrant.

The company may, from time to time, be involved in legal proceedings arising from the normal course of business.
