Item 9A. Controls and Procedures. Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures As of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial and accounting officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act. In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and that management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs. Based on their evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial and accounting officer concluded that, as of December 31, 2022, our disclosure controls and procedures were designed to, and were effective to, provide assurance at a reasonable level that the information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial and accounting officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures as of December 31, 2022. Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting Our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial and accounting officer, is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act). Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that: (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and directors; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial and accounting officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2022, based on the Internal Control-Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) (2013 Framework). Based on this evaluation under the 2013 Framework, our principal executive officer and principal financial and accounting officer have concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2022. Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended December 31, 2022 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Opinion on the Financial Statements We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Eyenovia, Inc. (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the related statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity and cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2022 and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2022, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Explanatory Paragraph – Going Concern The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As more fully described in Note 2, the Company has incurred significant losses and needs to raise additional funds to meet its obligations and sustain its operations. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 2. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. Change in Accounting Principle As discussed in Note 2 and Note 9 to the financial statements, the Company has changed its method of accounting for leases in 2022 due to the adoption of the guidance in ASC Topic 842, Leases effective January 1, 2022. Basis for Opinion These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) ("PCAOB") and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB. We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. /s/ Marcum LLP Marcum LLP We have served as the Company’s auditor since 2017.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2022 AND 2021 ​ Note 1 – Business Organization and Nature of Operations Eyenovia, Inc., or Eyenovia or the Company, is a pre-commercial ophthalmic technology company developing the Optejet® delivery system for use both in combination with its own drug-device therapeutic programs as well as out-licensing for additional indications. Eyenovia’s aim is to improve the delivery of topical ophthalmic medication through ergonomic design that facilitates ease-of-use and delivery of more physiologically appropriate medication volume, with the goal to reduce side effects and improve tolerability, and introduce digital health technology to improve therapy compliance and ultimately medical outcomes. The ergonomic and functional design of the Optejet® allows for horizontal drug delivery and eliminates the need to tilt the head back or the manual dexterity to squeeze a bottle to administer medications. Drug is delivered in a microscopic array of droplets faster than the blink reflex to help ensure instillation success. The precise delivery of a low-volume columnar spray by the Optejet® device minimizes contamination with a non-protruding nozzle and self-closing shutter. In clinical trials, the Optejet® has demonstrated that its targeted delivery achieves a high rate of successful administration, with 98 % of sprays being accurately delivered upon first attempt compared to the established rate reported with traditional eye drops of ~ 50 %. A more physiologically appropriate volume of medication in the range of seven to nine microliters is delivered by the Optejet, approximately one fifth of the 35 to 50 microliter dose typically delivered in a single eye drop. Lower volume of medication exposes the ocular surface to less active ingredient and preservatives, potentially reducing ocular stress and surface damage and improving tolerability. The lower volume also minimizes the potential for drug to enter systemic circulation, with the goal of avoiding some common side effects that are related to overdosing of the eye. Versions of the Optejet are being developed with on-board digital technology to provide reminders via Bluetooth to smart devices and date and time stamp device use. This information can then be used by practitioners and health care systems to measure treatment compliance and improve medical decision making. In this way, the Optejet could serve as an extension of the physician’s office by providing information that is not currently possible to collect except through the use of diaries. To address unmet medical needs, the Company is developing the next generation of smart ophthalmic therapeutics to target new indications or new combinations where there are currently no or few drug therapies approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, or FDA. The Company’s investigational products are classified by the FDA as drug-device combination products with drug primary mode of action, meaning that the Center for Drug Evaluation and Research, or CDER, is designated as the lead center with primary jurisdictional oversight. Accordingly, the product candidates are submitted to the FDA and CDER for premarket review and approval under new drug applications, or NDAs. ​ Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Liquidity and Going Concern As of December 31, 2022, the Company had unrestricted cash and cash equivalents of approximately $ 22.9 million and an accumulated deficit of approximately $ 118.2 million. For the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company incurred net losses of approximately $ 28.0 million and $ 12.8 million, respectively, and used cash in operations of approximately $ 25.1 million and $ 20.9 million, respectively. The Company does not have recurring revenue and has not yet achieved profitability. The Company expects to continue to incur cash outflows from operations for the near future. The Company expects that its research and development and general and administrative expenses will continue to increase and, as a result, it will eventually need to generate significant product revenues to achieve profitability. These circumstances raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for at least one year from the date that these financial statements are issued. Implementation of the Company’s plans and its ability to continue as a going concern will depend upon the Company’s ability to generate sufficient recurring revenues or the Company’s ability to raise further capital, through the sale of additional equity or debt securities or otherwise, to support its future operations. The Company’s operating needs include the planned costs to operate its business, including amounts required to fund working capital and capital expenditures. The Company’s future capital requirements and the adequacy of its available funds will depend on many factors, including the Company’s ability to successfully commercialize its products and services, competing technological and market developments, and the need to enter into collaborations with other companies or acquire other companies or technologies to enhance or complement its product and service offerings. If the Company is unable to generate sufficient recurring revenues or secure additional capital, it may be required to curtail its research and development initiatives and take additional measures to reduce costs in order to conserve its cash. Use of Estimates Preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, or U.S. GAAP, requires management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and the amounts disclosed in the related notes to the financial statements. The Company bases its estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other assumptions that it believes are reasonable under the circumstances. The amounts of assets and liabilities Table of Contents EYENOVIA, INC. NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2022 AND 2021 ​ reported in the Company’s balance sheets and the amounts of expenses reported for each of the periods presented are affected by estimates and assumptions, which are used for, but not limited to, fair value calculations for equity securities, establishment of valuation allowances for deferred tax assets, revenue recognition, the recoverability and useful lives of long-lived assets, the recovery of deferred costs and the deferral of revenues. Certain of the Company’s estimates could be affected by external conditions, including those unique to the Company and general economic conditions. It is reasonably possible that actual results could differ from those estimates. See Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies — Stock-Based Compensation for additional discussion of the use of estimates in estimating the fair value of the Company’s common stock. Reclassifications Certain prior period balances have been reclassified in order to conform to current period presentation. These reclassifications have no effect on previously reported results of operations or loss per share. Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents in the financial statements. Cash and cash equivalents that are restricted as to withdrawal or use under the terms of certain executed agreements are recorded as restricted cash on the balance sheets. As of December 31, 2021, the Company had restricted cash in the amount of $ 7,875,000 , which consisted of cash held in a money market account pledged as collateral for a note payable to Silicon Valley Bank, or the SVB Loan. The restricted cash was used in the repayment of the SVB Loan in November 2022. See Note 7 – Notes Payable and Convertible Notes Payable – Silicon Valley Bank Loan. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company had cash and cash equivalent balances in excess of FDIC insurance limits of $ 22,613,520 and $ 19,211,850 , respectively. On March 10, 2023, Silicon Valley Bank, or SVB, was closed by the California Department of Financial Protection and Innovation, and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, or FDIC, was appointed as receiver. The Company has a deposit account at SVB. The standard deposit insurance amount is up to $ 250,000 per depositor, per insured bank, for each account ownership category. As of the date of filing, the Company had approximately $ 194,000 in a deposit account at SVB. Property and Equipment, Net Property and equipment are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation, which is recorded commencing at the in-service date using the straight-line method at rates sufficient to charge the cost of depreciable assets to operations over their estimated useful lives, which range from 1 to 10 years . Leasehold improvements are amortized over the lesser of (a) the useful life of the asset; or (b) the remaining lease term. Maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred. The Company capitalizes costs attributable to the betterment of property and equipment when such betterment extends the useful life of the assets. Impairment of Long-lived Assets The Company reviews for the impairment of long-lived assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset might not be recoverable. An impairment would be recognized when estimated future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition are less than its carrying amount. The Company did not record any impairment losses during the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021. Fair Value of Financial Instruments The Company measures the fair value of financial assets and liabilities based on Accounting Standards Codification, or ASC Topic 820 “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures”, or ASC 820, which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. F-9 Table of Contents EYENOVIA, INC. NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2022 AND 2021 ​ ASC 820 defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. ASC 820 also establishes a fair value hierarchy, which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. ASC 820 describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value: Level 1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; Level 2 — quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or inputs that are observable; and Level 3 — inputs that are unobservable (for example, cash flow modeling inputs based on assumptions). The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial instruments, such as cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts payable, and notes payable approximate fair values due to the short-term nature or effective interest rates of these instruments. Income Taxes The Company is subject to Federal, New York State and City, and State of California income taxes and files tax returns in those jurisdictions. The Company recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of items that have been included or excluded in the financial statements or tax returns. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined on the basis of the difference between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their respective financial reporting amounts, or temporary differences, at enacted tax rates in effect for the years in which such temporary differences are expected to reverse. The Company utilizes a recognition threshold and measurement process for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The Company’s policy is to classify assessments, if any, for tax-related interest as interest expense and penalties as general and administrative expenses in the statements of operations. Revenue Recognition The Company’s revenues are generated primarily through research, development and commercialization agreements. The terms of such agreements may contain multiple promised goods and services, which may include (i) licenses to its intellectual property, and (ii) in certain cases, payment in connection with the manufacturing and delivery of clinical supply materials. Payments to us under these arrangements typically include one or more of the following: non-refundable, upfront license fees; milestone payments; payments for clinical product supply, and royalties on future product sales. The Company analyzes its arrangements to assess whether such arrangements involve joint operating activities. For collaboration arrangements that are deemed to be within the scope of ASC Topic 808, “Collaborative Arrangements”, or ASC 808, the Company allocates the contract consideration between such joint operating activities and elements that are reflective of a vendor-customer relationship and, therefore, within the scope of ASC Topic 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”, or ASC 606. The Company’s policy is to recognize amounts allocated to joint operating activities as a reduction in research and development expense. Under ASC 606, the Company recognizes revenue when its customers obtain control of promised goods or services, in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. To determine revenue recognition for arrangements that the Company determines are within the scope of ASC 606, the Company performs the following five steps: ● Step 1: Identify the contract with the customer; ● Step 2: Identify the performance obligations in the contract; F-10 Table of Contents EYENOVIA, INC. NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2022 AND 2021 ​ ● Step 3: Determine the transaction price; ● Step 4: Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and ● Step 5: Recognize revenue when the company satisfies a performance obligation. The Company must make significant judgments in its revenue recognition process, including identifying performance obligations in the contract, estimating the amount of variable consideration to include in the transaction price and allocating the transaction price to each performance obligation. Milestone payments represent variable consideration that will be recognized when the performance obligation is achieved. Sales-based royalty payments derived from usage of intellectual property are recognized when those sales occur. Arrangements that include rights to additional goods or services that are exercisable at a customer’s discretion are generally considered discretionary purchase options. The Company assesses if these options provide a material right to the customer and if so, they are considered performance obligations. During 2020, the Company entered into a license agreement, or the Arctic Vision License Agreement, with Arctic Vision (Hong Kong) Limited, or Arctic Vision, and a license agreement, or the Bausch License Agreement, with Bausch Health Companies, Inc., or Bausch + Lomb. Each license has three revenue components: 1) an upfront license fee; 2) milestone payments and 3) royalty payments. Arctic Vision License Agreement On August 10, 2020, the Company entered into the Arctic Vision License Agreement pursuant to which Arctic Vision may develop and commercialize MicroPine for the treatment of progressive myopia and MicroLine for the treatment of presbyopia in Greater China (mainland China, Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan) and South Korea. On September 14, 2021, the Company and Arctic Vision executed Amendment 1 to the Arctic Vision License Agreement, or Arctic Vision Amendment 1, pursuant to which Arctic Vision may develop and commercialize MicroStat for the treatment of mydriasis in Greater China and South Korea. Upfront License Fees During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company recognized $ 4.0 million in revenue, pursuant to the Arctic Vision license agreement, upon the submission of certain trial data to Arctic Vision, permitting Arctic Vision to seek regulatory approval with the National Medical Products Administration of China. Pursuant to the terms of the Senju License Agreement (see Note 10 – Related Party Transactions) the Company is required to pay Senju a percentage of payments received from Arctic Vision. Accordingly, the Company paid $ 1.6 million to Senju in connection with the $ 4.0 million upfront license fees received from Arctic Vision, which is reflected as cost of revenue in the accompanying statements of operations. In connection with Arctic Vision Amendment 1, Arctic Vision paid the Company a $ 250,000 upfront fee, which in turn, the Company paid to Senju in connection with Senju Amendment 2 (see Note 10 – Related Party Transactions). The Company did not recognize revenue for the $ 250,000 upfront payment because it was passed through to Senju. Milestone Payments The Company may receive an additional $ 37.7 million in milestone payments in connection with the Arctic Vision License Agreement, as amended, based on various development and regulatory milestones, including the initiation of clinical research and regulatory approvals in Greater China and South Korea, related to the filing of Marketing Authorization Applications of approximately $ 13.2 million and the receipt of regulatory approvals of approximately $ 24.5 million. The Company currently anticipates the remaining milestone related performance obligations to be achieved between late 2024 and late 2025. F-11 Table of Contents EYENOVIA, INC. NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2022 AND 2021 ​ Royalty Payments Arctic Vision also will purchase its supply of MicroPine, MicroLine and MicroStat from the Company or, for such products not supplied by the Company, pay the Company a mid-single digit percentage royalty on net sales of such products, subject to certain adjustments. No royalty payments were earned through December 31, 2022. The Company will pay a percentage in the range from 30 % to 40 % of such payments, royalties, or net proceeds of such supply to Senju pursuant to the Senju License Agreement. See Note 10—Related Party Transactions—Senju License Agreement for additional details. Bausch License Agreement On October 9, 2020, the Company entered into the Bausch License Agreement pursuant to which Bausch + Lomb may develop and commercialize the Bausch Licensed Product in the Licensed Territory. Bausch + Lomb may terminate the Bausch License Agreement, with respect to the Bausch Licensed Product to either country in the Licensed Territory, at any time for convenience upon 90 days ’ written notice. Both parties have the right to terminate the Bausch License Agreement in the event of (i) an uncured material breach after a 60-day period or (ii) a bankruptcy event. Upfront License Fees During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company recognized revenue of $ 10.0 million upon the submission of certain trial to Bausch + Lomb and the transfer of supervisory oversight of the clinical trial to Bausch + Lomb, permitting Bausch + Lomb to assume supervisory oversight of the ongoing MicroPine study, or the CHAPERONE study. Milestone Payments Bausch + Lomb could also pay the Company up to an aggregate of approximately $ 35.0 million in additional payments, depending on the achievement of certain regulatory and launch-based milestones. No milestone payments were earned through December 31, 2022. The Company currently anticipates that the aforementioned milestone payments will be earned between late 2024 and late 2025. Royalty Payments Under the terms of the Bausch License Agreement, on a country-to-country basis and Bausch Licensed Product-by- Bausch Licensed Product basis, Bausch + Lomb will pay the Company royalties on a tiered basis (ranging from mid-single digit to mid-teen percentages) on gross profits from the sales of the Bausch Licensed Product in the Licensed Territory, subject to certain adjustments in the event of generic entry, negative gross profits or patent expiration, for a period of the later to occur of the 10th anniversary of the first commercial sale of a Bausch Licensed Product in such country in the Licensed Territory or the expiration of the last valid patent claim for a Bausch Licensed Product in such country in the Licensed Territory. No royalty payments were earned through December 31, 2022. Clinical Supply Arrangements Bausch + Lomb and Arctic Vision have contracted with the Company to manufacture and supply them with the appropriate drug-device combination products to conduct their clinical trials on a cost plus 10 % mark-up basis. Our licensing agreements with Bausch + Lomb and Arctic Vision represent collaborative arrangements and they are not a customer with respect to the clinical supply arrangements. The Company’s policy is to (a) defer the materials and manufacturing costs in order to properly match them up against the income from the clinical supply arrangements; and (b) to report the net income from the clinical supply arrangements as other income. Deferred clinical supply costs were $ 2.3 million at December 31, 2022. Net income from the sale of clinical supplies was included in other income and amounted to $ 0.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2022. Operating Leases The Company adopted the Accounting Standards Update, or ASU 2016-02,“Leases (Topic 842)” as of December 31, 2022, effective January 1, 2022. The Company leases its facilities under non-cancellable operating leases. The Company evaluates the nature of each lease at the inception of an arrangement to determine whether it is an operating or financing lease and recognizes the ROU asset and lease liabilities based on the present value of future minimum lease payments over the expected lease term. The Company recognizes a F-12 Table of Contents EYENOVIA, INC. NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2022 AND 2021 ​ liability to make lease payments, the “lease liability”, and an asset representing the right to use the underlying asset during the lease term, the “right-of-use asset”. The lease liability is measured at the present value of the remaining lease payments, discounted at the Company's incremental borrowing rate. The Company’s leases do not generally contain an implicit interest rate and therefore the Company uses the incremental borrowing rate it would expect to pay to borrow on a similar collateralized basis over a similar term in order to determine the present value of its lease payments. The right-of-use asset is measured at the amount of the lease liability adjusted for the remaining balance of any lease incentives received, any cumulative prepaid or accrued rent if the lease payments are uneven throughout the lease term, any unamortized initial direct costs, and any impairment of the right-of-use-asset. Operating lease expense consists of a single lease cost calculated so that the remaining cost of the lease is allocated over the remaining lease term on a straight-line basis, variable lease payments not included in the lease liability, and any impairment of the right-of-use asset. Research and Development Research and development expenses are charged to operations as incurred. The Company records prepaid expenses on its balance sheet for the payment of research and development expenses in advance of services being provided. The Company’s license agreements were determined to represent collaborative arrangements. Pursuant to these collaborative arrangements, the licensee is required to reimburse the Company for certain research and development expenses. Providing research and development activities in the context of a collaboration agreement is not an ordinary activity for the Company. Accordingly, the licensee is not a customer with respect to the reimbursements and such payments are not subject to ASC 606 – Revenue Recognition. The Company’s policy is to recognize the reimbursements as contra – research and development expense. The receivable for such payments, plus other license payments, is included in “license fee and expense reimbursements receivable” on the accompanying balance sheets. Stock-Based Compensation The Company measures the cost of services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the fair value of the award. The fair value of the award is measured on the grant date and the fair value amount is then recognized over the period during which services are required to be provided in exchange for the award, usually the vesting period. Upon the exercise of an option, the Company issues new shares of common stock out of the shares reserved for issuance under its equity plans. See Note 11 – Stockholders’ Equity – Stock Options for additional information related to estimating the fair value of stock options. F-13 Table of Contents EYENOVIA, INC. NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2022 AND 2021 ​ Net Loss Per Share of Common Stock Basic net loss per share of common stock is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other instruments to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock. The following table presents the computation of basic and diluted net loss per common share: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ For the Years Ended ​ ​ December 31, ​ 2022 2021 Numerator: ​ ​ Net income (loss) ​ $ ( 28,011,157 ) ​ $ ( 12,778,387 ) Net loss attributable to common stockholders ​ $ ( 28,011,157 ) ​ $ ( 12,778,387 ) ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Denominator (weighted average quantities): ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Common shares issued ​ 33,252,644 ​ 26,238,134 Add: Prefunded warrants ​ 333,037 ​ — Add: Undelivered vested restricted shares ​ 64,066 ​ 85,947 Denominator for basic and diluted net loss per share ​ 33,649,747 ​ 26,324,081 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Basic and diluted net loss per share of common stock ​ $ ( 0.83 ) ​ $ ( 0.49 ) ​ The following securities are excluded from the calculation of weighted average dilutive shares of common stock because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ December 31, ​ 2022 2021 Warrants 6,087,845 1,217,715 Options 5,380,553 4,377,398 Restricted stock units 172,800 41,778 Total potentially dilutive shares 11,641,198 5,636,891 ​ Subsequent Events The Company has evaluated subsequent events through the date which the financial statements were issued. Based upon the evaluation, the Company did not identify any recognized or non-recognized subsequent events that would have required adjustment or disclosure in the financial statements, except as disclosed. Recently Adopted Accounting Standards On May 3, 2021, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or the FASB, issued ASU No. 2021-04, “Earnings Per Share (Topic 260), Debt—Modifications and Extinguishments (Subtopic 470-50), Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718), and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Issuer’s Accounting for Certain Modifications or Exchanges of Freestanding Equity-Classified Written Call Options.” This new standard provides clarification and reduces diversity in an issuer’s accounting for modifications or exchanges of freestanding equity-classified written call options (such as warrants) that remain equity classified after modification or exchange. This standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Issuers should apply the new standard prospectively to modifications or exchanges occurring after the effective date of the new standard. The Company adopted ASU 2021-04 effective January 1, 2022. This standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flow. F-14 Table of Contents EYENOVIA, INC. NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2022 AND 2021 ​ In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02 “Leases (Topic 842)”, or ASU 2016-02. ASU 2016-02 requires that a lessee recognize the assets and liabilities that arise from operating leases. A lessee should recognize in the statement of financial position a liability to make lease payments (the lease liability) and a right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term. ASU 2016-02, as amended, is now effective for emerging growth companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022. The Company adopted ASU 2016-02 on December 31, 2022, effective January 1, 2022 and the adoption of this ASU had a material impact on the Company’s financial statements, primarily as a result of recording right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for its operating leases in the approximate amounts of $ 580,000 and $ 619,000 , and derecognizing deferred rent in the approximate amount of $ 39,000 . ​ Recently Issued Accounting Standards ​ In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13 “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326)” and also issued subsequent amendments to the initial guidance under ASU 2018-19, ASU 2019-04 and ASU 2019-05 (collectively Topic 326). Topic 326 requires the measurement and recognition of expected credit losses for financial assets held at amortized cost. This replaces the existing incurred loss model with an expected loss model and requires the use of forward-looking information to calculate credit loss estimates. The Company will be required to adopt the provisions of this ASU on January 1, 2023, with early adoption permitted for certain amendments. Topic 326 must be adopted by applying a cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings. The adoption of Topic 326 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows. ​ In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging— Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity, to clarify the accounting for certain financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities and equity. The amendments in this update reduce the number of accounting models for convertible debt instruments and convertible preferred stock by removing the cash conversion model and the beneficial conversion feature model. Limiting the accounting models will result in fewer embedded conversion features being separately recognized from the host contract. Convertible instruments that continue to be subject to separation models are (1) those with embedded conversion features that are not clearly and closely related to the host contract, that meet the definition of a derivative, and that do not qualify for a scope exception from derivative accounting and (2) convertible debt instruments issued with substantial premiums for which the premiums are recorded as paid-in-capital. In addition, this ASU improves disclosure requirements for convertible instruments and earnings-per-share guidance. The ASU also revises the derivative scope exception guidance to reduce form-over-substance-based accounting conclusions driven by remote contingent events. The amendments in this update are effective for the Company in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, but not earlier than for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. The Company early adopted ASU 2020-06 effective January 1, 2023 which eliminates the need to assess whether a beneficial conversion feature needs to be recognized upon the issuance of new convertible instruments. The adoption of ASU 2020-06 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows. ​ Note 3 – Prepaid Expenses and Other Current Assets As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, prepaid expenses and other current assets consisted of the following: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ December 31, ​ 2022 2021 Payroll tax receivable ​ $ 660,891 ​ $ 343,785 Prepaid insurance expenses ​ ​ 201,082 ​ ​ 171,370 Prepaid conference expenses ​ ​ 97,743 ​ ​ 12,586 Prepaid general and administrative expenses ​ 87,982 ​ 71,375 Prepaid rent and security deposit ​ ​ 74,959 ​ ​ 32,254 Prepaid patent expenses ​ ​ 38,796 ​ ​ 32,797 Other ​ ​ 26,745 ​ ​ 4,525 Prepaid research and development expenses ​ ​ 2,521 ​ ​ — Prepaid board of directors fees ​ ​ — ​ ​ 66,250 Total prepaid expenses and other current assets ​ $ 1,190,719 ​ $ 734,942 ​ F-15 Table of Contents EYENOVIA, INC.

The note payable was payable in nine monthly payments consisting of principal and interest amounting to $ 79,343 for an aggregate amount of $ 714,087 . The note accrued interest at a rate of 2.96 % per year and matured on November 24, 2021 .The note payable was repaid in full during the year ended December 31, 2021. Interest expense was $ 8,727 for the year ended December 31, 2021. On February 24, 2022, the Company issued a note payable for the purchase of a directors and officers’ liability insurance policy. The note payable was payable in six monthly payments consisting of principal and interest amounting to $ 113,628 for an aggregate amount of $ 681,768 .

Interest expense was $ 6,436 for the year ended December 31, 2022. Paycheck Protection Program Loan On May 8, 2020, the Company received cash proceeds of $ 463,353 pursuant to a loan provided in connection with the Paycheck Protection Program under the CARES Act, or the PPP Loan. The PPP Loan provided for monthly installment payments of $ 19,508 beginning in August 2021 with the remaining balance due on May 3, 2022, the original maturity date. The PPP Loan incurred interest at a fixed rate of 1.00 % per annum. Under the terms of the CARES Act, as amended by the Paycheck Protection Program Flexibility Act of 2020, the Company was eligible to apply for and receive forgiveness for all or a portion of its PPP Loan. The Company applied for loan forgiveness on the PPP Loan in March 2021. The Company received notification in August 2021 that it had received approval for full loan forgiveness of the PPP Loan in the amount of $ 463,353 . The Company has recorded this extinguishment as other income in the statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2021. The Company also received notification of forgiveness of accrued interest payable of $ 5,738 , which was reversed from interest expense. Silicon Valley Bank Loan On May 7, 2021, or the Effective Date, the Company entered into a Loan and Security Agreement, or the Loan, with Silicon Valley Bank, or SVB, for an aggregate principal amount of up to $ 25.0 million. The interest rate on the Loan was an annual rate equal to the greater of (a) the sum of 1.25% plus the prime rate as reported in The Wall Street Journal and (b) 5.00 %. The initial tranche of the Loan, in the amount of $ 7.5 million was received by the Company on May 7, 2021. The maturity date of the Loan was May 1, 2025 . The Loan F-17 Table of Contents EYENOVIA, INC. NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2022 AND 2021 ​ indicated a prepayment fee of 2.0 % of the principal balance made on or prior to the second anniversary of the Effective Date. The Loan also provided for a final payment in an amount equal to the original aggregate principal amount of the Loan multiplied by 5.0 %. The final payment is in addition to and not a substitution for the regular monthly payments of principal plus accrued interest and was due upon the repayment of the loan in full. On September 29, 2021, the Company and SVB executed the First Amendment to the Loan and Security Agreement, or the Amendment. In accordance with the Amendment, the Company was required to maintain a collateralized money market account in the amount of $ 7,875,000 . The Company recorded this amount as restricted cash. On October 25, 2021, the Company announced the reclassification of Mydcombi as a drug-device combination product by the FDA in a CRL received on October 22, 2021. Given the FDA’s recent reclassification of Mydcombi as a drug-device combination and the need to file an NDA resubmission in 2022, the restricted cash became callable on November 30, 2021, at SVB’s election, to satisfy the Loan obligations. Therefore, the Loan was fully classified as a current note payable as of December 31, 2021. In connection with the Loan, the Company issued warrants to SVB to purchase 91,884 shares of common stock at an exercise price per share equal to $ 4.76 . The warrants are exercisable for a period of ten years from the date of issuance. The Company determined that the warrants should be equity-classified and that the relative fair value was $ 354,539 , by using the Black-Scholes option pricing methodology using the following assumptions: stock price of $ 4.76 ; expected term of 10.0 years; volatility of 89.0 % and a risk-free interest rate of 1.60 %. The Company incurred $ 66,618 of debt issuance costs, of which $ 63,469 was allocated to the debt and $ 3,149 was allocated to the warrants. The relative fair value of the warrants and the issuance costs allocated to the debt were recorded as debt discount. On November 4, 2022, the Company repaid the SVB Loan in full. The full amount of the payment was $ 8,025,000 , and included the principal amount of the loan ($ 7,500,000 ), the final payment ($ 375,000 ) and a 2 % prepayment fee ($ 150,000 ). The final payment and prepayment fee were recorded as interest expense. The entire restricted cash account in the amount of $ 7,875,000 was used to make the substantial amount of the payment. During the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company recorded interest expense relating to the Loan of $ 1,174,736 and $ 317,333 , respectively, including the amortization of debt discount of $ 349,632 and $ 68,376 , respectively. Avenue Ventures Loan On November 22, 2022, the Company entered into a Loan and Security Agreement, or the Avenue Loan, with Avenue Venture Opportunities Fund, L.P., or Avenue 1, and Avenue Venture Opportunities Fund, L.P. II, or Avenue 2, and together with Avenue, the Lender, for an aggregate principal amount of up to $ 15,000,000 . The initial tranche of the Avenue Loan is $ 10,000,000 , consisting of $ 4,000,000 from Avenue and $ 6,000,000 from Avenue 2. Up to $ 5,000,000 of the principal amount outstanding may be converted at the option of the Lender into shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion price of $ 2.148 per share, subject to typical anti-dilution adjustments, or the Convertible Loan. The Avenue Loan bears interest at an annual rate equal to the greater of (A) 7.0 % and (B) the prime rate as reported in The Wall Street Journal plus 4.45 %. The Avenue Loan maturity date is November 1, 2025. The Company may request an additional $ 5,000,000 of gross funding between April 1, 2023 and July 31, 2023, subject to agreed-upon conditions. The Company must also make an incremental final payment equal to 4.25 % of the aggregate funding, or the Final Payment, amounting to a premium of $ 425,000 . ​ The Company will make monthly interest-only payments during the first twelve months of the Avenue Loan, which could be increased to up to eighteen months upon the achievement of specified performance milestones. Following the interest-only period, the Company will make equal monthly payments of principal and interest until the maturity date, plus interest. If the Company prepays the Avenue Loan, it will be required to pay a prepayment fee of 3 % if the Avenue Loan is prepaid during the first year, 2 % if the Avenue Loan is prepaid during the second year and 1 % if the Avenue Loan is repaid during the third year. ​ The Avenue Loan requires the Company to make and maintain representations and warranties and other agreements that are customary in loan agreements of this type. The Avenue Loan is secured by all of the Company’s assets globally, including intellectual property. The Avenue Loan also contains customary events of default, including non-payment of principal or interest, violations of covenants, bankruptcy and material judgments. Upon the occurrence of an event of default, all interest and principal will be accelerated and F-18 Table of Contents EYENOVIA, INC. NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2022 AND 2021 ​ immediately become due and payable. In addition, Avenue will have the right to exercise any other right or remedy provided by applicable law. ​ The Company paid a portfolio management fee of 1 % of the total commitment of $ 15,000,000 , or $ 150,000 of cash on December 1, 2022. This has been accounted for as a component of debt discount. ​ In connection with the Loan, the Company granted an aggregate of 547,807 shares of its common stock to the Lender, or the Avenue Private Placement Shares.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2022 AND 2021 ​ As of December 31, 2022, the Company had approximately $ 85,900,000 of domestic federal net operating loss carryforwards, or NOLs, that may be available to offset future federal taxable income. Approximately $ 10,800,000 of those NOLs will expire during the years ranging from 2034 to 2037 . The remaining NOLs of approximately $ 75,100,000 have no expiration dates. Internal Revenue Code Section 382 limits the utilization of approximately $ 35,000,000 of those NOLs to approximately $ 918,000 on an annual basis as a result of ownership changes that occurred through July 15, 2019. As of December 31, 2022, the Company had approximately $ 25,400,000 of state NOLs, of which approximately $ 25,300,000 will expire during the years ranging from 2040 to 2042 , and approximately $ 100,000 will not expire, and had approximately $ 6,400,000 of local NOLs which do not expire. The Company has assessed the likelihood that deferred tax assets will be realized in accordance with the provisions of ASC 740 “Income Taxes Accounting”, or ASC 740. ASC 740 requires that a valuation allowance be established when it is “more likely than not” that all, or a portion of, deferred tax assets will not be realized. The assessment considers all available positive or negative evidence, including the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, and tax planning strategies. After the performance of such reviews as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, management believes that uncertainty exists with respect to future realization of its deferred tax assets and has, therefore, established a full valuation allowance as of those dates. Management has evaluated and concluded that there were no material uncertain tax positions requiring recognition in the Company’s financial statements as of December 31, 2022 and 2021. The Company does not expect any significant changes in its unrecognized tax benefits within twelve months of the reporting date. No tax audits were commenced or were in process during the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021. No tax related interest or penalties were incurred during the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021. The Company’s federal, state and local income tax returns beginning with the year ended December 31, 2019 remain subject to examination. ​ Note 9 – Commitments and Contingencies Employment Agreements On February 14, 2022, the Compensation Committee of the Board approved amendments to the Executive Employment Agreements, or the Employment Agreement Addendums, for three executive officers.

Option forfeitures are accounted for at the time of occurrence. The expected term used for options issued is the estimated period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding. The Company utilizes the “simplified” method to develop an estimate of the expected term of “plain vanilla” option grants. The Company uses a blended volatility calculation, the components of which are the Company’s historical volatility for the period from its initial public offering through the valuation date and the average peer-group data of six comparable entities to supplement the Company’s own historical data for the preceding years in computing the expected volatility. Accordingly, the Company is utilizing an expected volatility figure based on a review of the historical volatility of comparable entities over a period of time equivalent to the expected life of the instrument being valued. The risk-free interest rate was determined from the implied yields from U.S. Treasury zero-coupon bonds with a remaining term consistent with the expected term of the instrument being valued. The Company has not declared dividends, is currently in the development stage and has no plan to declare future dividends at this time. The weighted average estimated grant date fair value of the stock options granted for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 was approximately $ 1.60 and $ 5.39 per share, respectively. As of December 31, 2022, there was $ 3,621,440 of unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to stock options which will be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.5 years. ​ Note 12 – Employee Benefit Plans 401(k) Plan In April 2019, the Company adopted the Eyenovia 401(k) Plan, or the Plan, which went into effect in May 2019.
