+Added: Our products enable seamless Bluetooth connection to your digital life and prescription vision correction in one affordable
+Added: and convenient package.
+Added: Our flagship brand of smart eyewear is called Lucyd, and Lucyd eyewear is enjoyed by thousands of people around
+Added: the world who want the convenience and utility of wireless headphones and glasses in one.
+Added: Furthermore, we are revolutionizing the concept
+Added: of eyewear overall, by enabling connection to the powerful ChatGPT AI assistant right on our glasses, using a novel and ergonomic voice
+Added: The Company believes the advent of this powerful feature to our eyewear will significantly enhance user adoption of Lucyd
+Added: frames, and provide a new revenue stream for the business in the form of in-app purchases.
+Added: January 2021, we officially launched our first commercial product, Lucyd Lyte® (“Lucyd Lyte”).
+Added: This initial product
+Added: offering embodied our goal of creating smart eyewear for all day wear that looks like and is priced similarly to designer eyewear, but
+Added: is also light weight and comfortable, and enables the wearer to remain connected to their digital lives.
+Added: The product was initially launched
+Added: with six styles, and in September 2021, an additional six styles were added.
+Added: recently launched version 2.0 of our Lucyd Lyte eyewear, and our current product offering consists of 15 version 2.0 models, which offers
+Added: a similar amount of style variety as many traditional eyewear collections.
+Added: All styles are each available with 80+ different lens types,
+Added: resulting in hundreds of variations of products currently available.
+Added: new Lucyd Lyte version 2.0 collection features several key breakthroughs for the smart eyewear product category:
+Added: playback and call time were extended to 12 hours, a 50% increase over the version 1.0 and making Lyte one of the longest-lasting
+Added: true wireless audio devices on the market.
+Added: four-speaker array was introduced, improving audio fidelity significantly compared to the version 1.0 model and many other smart
+Added: eyewear products.
+Added: of the frames deployed the Company’s new expert design team, producing smart eyewear that follows trending styles in 2023 in
+Added: the traditional eyeglasses and sunglasses markets.
+Added: The collection features many style firsts for a smart eyewear collection designed
+Added: in the United States, that have proven commercially successful in traditional eyewear, such as titanium rose gold and champagne crystal
+Added: styles for women, and gunmetal gray and acetate aviator styles for men.
+Added: upgrade to a Bluetooth 5.2 chip improves connection stability, especially for older devices.
+Added: Responsiveness
+Added: of touch controls improved with an audible tone added to alert the wearer when they have used a command successfully.
+Added: transition of the LED status indicators to the interior of the temples, a change based on consumer feedback, makes the product more
+Added: the launch of Lucyd Lyte, we witnessed interest and demand from customers throughout the United States and have sold thousands of our
+Added: smart glasses.
+Added: Within six months of the launch of Lucyd Lyte, several optical stores in the United States and Canada have on- boarded
+Added: the product and we have had discussions with several other large eyewear chains (by number of locations) regarding onboarding our product.
+Added: We believe smart eyewear is a product category whose time has come, and we believe we are well positioned to capitalize on and help develop
+Added: this exciting new sector–where eyewear meets electronics in a user-friendly, mass market format, priced similarly to designer eyewear.
+Added: first quarter of 2022 we introduced a virtual try-on kiosk for select retail stores.
+Added: This device introduces our products to prospective
+Added: retail customers and enables them to digitally try on our line of smart glasses in a touch-free manner.
+Added: anticipate introducing eight styles of Nautica smart eyewear, six to twelve additional styles of Lucyd Lyte glasses, and our first Bluetooth
+Added: safety glasses in 2023.
+Added: In addition, we anticipate the following upgrades to accessory products in 2023:
+Added: patent-pending Lucyd charging dock will be upgraded to feature a charging status LED and USB data capability, enabling it to be used
+Added: as a USB multi-device hub for computers in addition to a charging hub.
+Added: will complete a total overhaul of our retail fixtures in the third quarter of this year, offering our new enhanced video and audio
+Added: demo displays to all current and prospective retail partners.
+Added: Our new modular display system, of which the first units shipped in
+Added: the late second quarter, incorporates two different center stations focused on audio and video experiences, along with side pieces
+Added: for stores with additional counter space to exhibit any number of our frames.
+Added: Over the course of the third quarter of this year,
+Added: we plan to upgrade the store fixtures of most of our retail partners to the new display systems, which we believe will enhance sell-through
+Added: of our products.
+Added: Initial retailer feedback on the new display system has been positive, as it eliminates key issues with the Company’s
+Added: previous displays, by providing enough consumer information to make an educated buying decision, by allowing the customer to interact
+Added: with and listen to music on live products, and by the addition of a security tether to make it suitable for all retail environments.
+Added: In the fourth quarter of 2022, we introduced
+Added: key features in the Vyrb app, including live broadcasts for up to 100 users in one digital “room”, and the ability to upload
+Added: external audio content into Vyrb, enabling longstanding content creators to import their existing libraries swiftly into the platform.
+Added: This new feature allows content creators to share content they made outside of Vyrb on the Vyrb network, and in the future we plan to
+Added: allow users to monetize this content as well as the content they generate originally on the platform.
+Added: For example, we plan to enable
+Added: podcasters to import their existing podcast library into Vyrb, and set a paywall for other users to access the content.
+Added: Also in the fourth
+Added: quarter of 2022, we completed development of core audio eyewear product improvements, such as upgrading all frames to quadraphonic sound,
+Added: which have been rolled out across all new eyewear models as of January 2023.
+Added: April 2023, we introduced a major software upgrade for our glasses with the launch of the Lucyd app for iOS/Android.
+Added: This free application
+Added: enables the user to converse with the extremely popular ChatGPT AI language model on the glasses, to instantly gain the benefit of one
+Added: of the world’s most powerful AI assistants in a hands-free ergonomic interface.
+Added: The app deploys a powerful and unique Siri and
+Added: Google Voice integration with the Open AI API for ChatGPT, developed internally by the company and now pending patent.
+Added: This development
+Added: instantly makes all Lucyd eyewear perhaps the smartest smartglasses available today, and represents a significant marketing opportunity
+Added: for the company’s core smartglasses product, and a potential in-app purchase revenue stream for the Company.
+Added: apply a manufacturer suggested retail price (“MSRP”) of $199 (for our standard frames) to $229 (for our titanium frames)
+Added: for non-prescription, polarized sunglass and blue light blocking glasses across our online channels, with our wholesale pricing offering
+Added: volume discounts to these prices.
+Added: Please refer to discussion in the Components of Results of Operations section below for more details
+Added: regarding our pricing structure.
+Added: business model is capital light, as we have elected not to build our own manufacturing facilities and Company-owned retail distribution,
+Added: but rather have contracted with existing sources of production and proven consumer-facing retail distribution.
+Added: summation, the ultimate synopsis from management on the status of the Company at the end of the second quarter of 2023 is as follows:
+Added: Company’s products are in their best position ever to lead the wearables market and the optical market, and pioneer a breakthrough
+Added: of smart eyewear to the mainstream consumer.
+Added: This includes a number of factors, including the development of new custom components
+Added: launching in the third quarter;
+Added: the overall improvement of fit, style, and functionality coming to our products with each successive
+Added: and the combination of our core technology with the globally renowned Nautica, Eddie Bauer, and Reebok brands pending launch
+Added: over the next three to six months.
+Added: Company has built its strongest team to date, with 12 full-time staff extremely devoted to building the global standard in smart
+Added: Company was the first to market with a touch-free voice interface for ChatGPT, demonstrating our ability to rapidly incorporate new
+Added: innovations into our core product to the immediate and great benefit of all users.
+Added: Company has launched a very sophisticated and attractive modular display system that is primed to introduce smart eyewear to lay
+Added: customers and maximize sell-through in any retail environment suitable for our products.
+Added: optical industry itself has begun to recognize us as a leader of innovation in optics, as shown in recent coverage that lists us
+Added: alongside major, well-established players in the space.
+Added: feedback on our products is generally more favorable with each successive release, as evidenced by improving Amazon ratings.
+Added: we underwent some significant challenges with product defects and returns, primarily in 2022 but also leading into 2023, the result
+Added: of this was a total overhaul of our supply chain that yielded more reliable factories and an overall significant quality improvement
+Added: on all of our glasses, positioning us well for the future.
+Added: Factors Affecting Performance
+Added: of retail points of purchase
+Added: addition to sustained growth of our e-commerce business, our future revenues are correlated positively with our placement of Lucyd glasses
+Added: in optical stores, as well as sporting goods stores and other specialty stores such as cellular shops.
+Added: To address this, we assembled
+Added: a team with decades of experience in the eyewear industry and are offering a strong co-op marketing program and reordering incentives
+Added: We currently offer an expansive line of 16 different styles and several accessories, with plans to continuously expand this
+Added: offering over time.
+Added: In the first quarter of 2023, we added approximately 50 new retail partners, comprised of independent optical stores,
+Added: and in the second quarter of 2023 we added approximately 25 new independent optical stores and seven Duty Free stores operated by Privato
+Added: store client retention and re-orders
+Added: ability to sustain and increase revenue is correlated positively with our ability to receive re-orders from stores, either directly or
+Added: through our wholesale distributors.
+Added: To support our sales to retail stores directly, we offer a strong co-op marketing program that includes
+Added: free and paid store display materials.
+Added: As part of this strategy, we have launched a new modular display system with engaging video screens
+Added: and audio testing capabilities for our resellers to help educate their in-store customers about Lucyd Lyte and enable customers to try
+Added: This proprietary display system is central to our efforts to introduce traditional retail customers to Lucyd eyewear, and we
+Added: are planning further enhancements to our merchandising displays to enable more immersive experiences.
+Added: Additionally, we consistently incorporate
+Added: retail partner feedback directly into our frames to better serve our end users.
+Added: in business growth
+Added: believe that people care about what they wear on their faces, and because we understand that customers have diverse preferences about
+Added: the shape, size and design of their eyewear, we aim to continuously invest in the design and development of new models in an effort to
+Added: provide the consumer with a wide selection of styles, colors, and finishes.
+Added: are offering a strong co-op marketing program with retail stores, and intend to expand our sales, marketing and brand ambassador teams
+Added: to broaden our brand awareness and online presence.
+Added: We will also increase our general and administrative expenses in the foreseeable
+Added: future to cover the additional costs for finance, compliance, supply chain, quality assurance and investor relations as we grow as a
+Added: public company.
+Added: Performance Indicators
+Added: believe that one of the key indicators for our business is the number of retail stores onboarded to sell Lucyd Lyte.
+Added: We started onboarding
+Added: our first retail stores in June 2021.
+Added: Currently, we have over 300 retail stores selling Lucyd Lyte, primarily located within the
+Added: United States and Canada, across 250+ unique wholesale accounts.
+Added: Based on the existing demand for our products, current distribution,
+Added: and recently consummated supply agreements, we anticipate that our products will be available in a significant number of new third-party
+Added: retail locations in 2023.
+Added: expect this number to gradually increase as we continue to improve our product, roll out our co-op marketing program and introduce more
+Added: of our modular display systems into retail stores, to facilitate customer education and product sell-through .
+Added: The Company has consistently introduced its products in dozens of new points of sale every quarter;
+Added: however, we expect a more notable
+Added: increase with the rollout of our Powered by Lucyd branded products over the next year.
+Added: The introduction of fashion-branded products from
+Added: our partnerships with Nautica, Eddie Bauer, and Reebok are expected to significantly increase our retail store presence due to the popularity
+Added: and built-in following of these brands, particularly Nautica which has a large audience for their traditional eyewear, and Eddie Bauer
+Added: due to their large US brick-and-mortar retail presence.
+Added: Ratings (B2C)
+Added: Lucyd Lyte version 2.0 product is receiving significantly higher ratings online compared to our previous products, indicating that customers
+Added: are appreciative of improvements in product design, functionality and build quality.
+Added: 11 out of 15 of the sunglass styles on Amazon carry
+Added: a 4.1/5 rating or higher, compared to most products with an approximate 3.5/5 rating from our previous collection.
+Added: This is a very strong
+Added: signal of early positive feedback on our products that indicates our ability to grow and scale with America’s largest online retailer
+Added: and other platforms.
+Added: of online orders (B2C)
+Added: our e-commerce business, we track the number of online orders as an indicator of the success of our online marketing efforts.
+Added: 30, 2023, we had 15,422 cumulative total orders from customers online since inception.
+Added: We believe that the addition of new styles,
+Added: as well as further investment in brand awareness, product ambassadors, and influencer campaigns, will enable continued growth of online
+Added: orders in the foreseeable future.
+Added: We expect to allocate a significant portion of our advertising expenditures towards influencer marketing
+Added: of Results of Operations
+Added: revenue is generated from the sales of prescription and non-prescription optical glasses, sunglasses, and shipping charges, which are
+Added: charged to the customer, associated with these purchases.
+Added: We sell products through our retail store resellers, distributors, and on our
+Added: own website Lucyd.co and on Amazon.
+Added: flagship product line increased in price with the launch of the version 2.0 models, from $149 to $199 on acetate models, and $179 to
+Added: $229 on titanium models for non-prescription glasses across all of our online channels.
+Added: In addition, we have introduced a minimum advertised
+Added: price on the new models of $139 and $159, respectively, to support our retail partners with guaranteed minimum pricing.
+Added: adding a prescription lens upgrade to our glasses on the Lucyd.co website, the price can increase from between $40 for a basic clear
+Added: prescription lens, all the way up to $450 for the latest Transitions® progressive lens.
+Added: Glasses with prescription lenses are only
+Added: available through our website Lucyd.co, while our sales through Amazon and to our retail partners only include non-prescription glasses
+Added: with rare exceptions such as a reseller ordering a customized unit for display purposes.
+Added: consumers enjoy free USPS first class postage, with faster delivery options available for extra cost, for sales processed through our
+Added: For Amazon sales, shipping is free for U.S consumers while international customers pay shipping charges.
+Added: Any costs associated
+Added: with fees charged by the online platforms (Shopify for Lucyd.co website and Amazon) are not recharged to customers.
+Added: We charge applicable
+Added: state sales taxes for both online channels and all other marketplaces on which we sell.
+Added: wholesale pricing for eyewear sold to retail store partners and distributors includes volume discounts, due to the nature of large quantity
+Added: The pricing includes shipping charges, while excluding any state sales tax charges applicable.
+Added: Due to the nature of wholesale
+Added: retail orders, no e-commerce fees are applicable.
+Added: of Goods Sold
+Added: of goods sold includes the costs incurred to acquire materials, assemble, and sell our finished products.
+Added: retail sales placed on one of our e-commerce channels, these costs include (i) product costs held at the lesser of cost and net realizable
+Added: value and inclusive of inventory reserves, (ii) freight, import, and inspection costs, (iii) optical laboratory costs for prescription
+Added: glasses, (iv) merchant fees, (v) fees paid to third-party e-commerce platforms, and (vi) cost of shipping the product to the consumer.
+Added: wholesale sales these costs include (i) product costs stated at the lesser of cost and net realizable value and inclusive of inventory
+Added: reserves, (ii) freight, import, and inspection costs, and (iii) credit card fees.
+Added: consumers place their orders directly on our online store, we save approximately 12-15% on marketplace fees than when consumers place
+Added: their orders directly from third-party platforms like Amazon and eBay.
+Added: expect our cost of goods sold to fluctuate as a percentage of net revenue primarily due to product mix, customer preferences and resulting
+Added: demand, customer shipping costs, and management of our inventory and merchandise mix.
+Added: time we expect our total cost of goods sold on a per unit basis to decrease as a result of an increase in scale.
+Added: Increase in scale is
+Added: achieved as a result of increase in volumes from both business to consumer and business to business (retail store) orders.
+Added: to expand our products with line extensions and new models and broaden our presence in retail stores carrying our products.
+Added: Profit and Gross Margin
+Added: define gross profit as net revenues less cost of goods sold.
+Added: Gross margin is gross profit expressed as a percentage of net revenues.
+Added: Our gross margin may fluctuate in the future based on a number of factors, including the cost at which we can obtain, transport, and
+Added: assemble our inventory, the rate at our vendor network expands, and how effective we can be at controlling costs, in any given period.
+Added: anticipate our cost of goods sold, on a per unit basis, will decrease with scale, and this will likely have a positive impact on our
+Added: gross margins.
+Added: margins in 2022 and the first six months of 2023 were adversely impacted by supply chain challenges with our previous manufacturer.
+Added: received a high number of defective frames in 2022 despite our rigorous inspection procedure, which involves a third-party inspection
+Added: agency reviewing 100% of new units as they come off the production line, testing every pair of glasses for sound quality and basic functionality.
+Added: Despite this, a large number of inaccurately-tested frames made it to our customers, precipitating a large number of replacement units
+Added: and lenses which negatively impacted margins.
+Added: To address this problem, we immediately underwent a new manufacturer search program in
+Added: 2022 which we believe yielded two higher-quality factories, that are now producing all of our glasses to a higher quality standard.
+Added: operating expenses consist primarily of:
+Added: general & administrative
+Added: expenses that include primarily consulting and payroll expenses, IT & software, legal, postage and non-customer product shipping,
+Added: and other administrative expense;
+Added: and marketing expenses including cost of online and TV advertising, marketing agency fees, influencers, trade shows, and other initiatives;
+Added: party management fees for a range of back-office services provided by Tekcapital LLC;
+Added: and development expenses related to (i) development of new styles and features of our smart eyewear, (ii) development and improvement

+Added: of Operations
+Added: Months Ended June 30, 2023 and 2022
+Added: following table summarizes our results of operations for the three months ended June 30, 2023 (the “current quarter”)
+Added: and the three months ended June 30, 2022 (the “prior quarter”):
+Added: three months ended
+Added: 2023 and 2022

+Added: (Deficit) Profit
+Added: and administrative
+Added: and marketing
+Added: & development
+Added: party management fee
+Added: Operating Expenses
+Added: Income (Expense)
+Added: Other Income (Expense)
+Added: revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2023 were $169,929, representing a decrease of approximately 17% as compared to revenues
+Added: of $204,741 during the three months ended June 30, 2022.
+Added: Our revenue is generated entirely from sales of eyewear products, namely smart
+Added: frames, lenses, and accessories.
+Added: The decline in revenue was primarily driven by significant discounts offered by key competing products
+Added: including the Amazon Echo Frames, Ray Ban Stories, and Bose Frames, all of which dropped their prices to or below the price point of
+Added: Lucyd frames during temporary and extended discount sales .
+Added: The power of these recognizable brands coupled with aggressive discounting meant that the competitive landscape was more saturated compared
+Added: To help respond to the ramp-up in the competition’s discounts, the Company introduced several promotions in 2023 to support
+Added: our continued market share growth.
+Added: Additionally, the reduction in revenue is partly attributable to a significant decrease in spending
+Added: on marketing by the Company compared to 2022, due to the Company’s decision to preserve more for our marketing budget for the fourth
+Added: quarter of 2023, when we anticipate the Company’s significantly improved Lyte 2.0 XL and Nautica Powered by Lucyd product lines
+Added: will be available.
+Added: a sequential quarter basis, our current quarter net revenues grew approximately 17% from the three months ended March 31, 2023.
+Added: the three months ended June 30, 2023, approximately 32% of sales were processed on our online store (Lucyd.co), 36% on Amazon, and
+Added: 32% with reseller partners.
+Added: This sales channel mix negatively impacted our revenue for the period as compared with the prior quarter,
+Added: due to the fact we charge an additional $35 to $275 for our prescription lenses available only on Lucyd.co.
+Added: For the three months ended
+Added: June 30, 2023, we generated $137,686 of revenue from sales of non-prescription frames and accessories, and $30,784 from sales of
+Added: frames with prescription lenses.
+Added: All of the $62,212 in sales generated on Amazon.com during the period were for non-prescription frames
+Added: and accessories as we only offer prescription lenses through our website.
+Added: Of the $52,389 in online sales generated through Lucyd.co,
+Added: $30,784 was related to frames with prescription lenses and $21,605 was related to glasses with non-prescription lenses.
+Added: E-commerce sales
+Added: are the most material portion of our sales to date.
+Added: the three months ended June 30, 2022, approximately 35% of sales were processed on our online store (Lucyd.co), 36% on Amazon, and
+Added: 29% with retail store partners.
+Added: For the three months ended June 30, 2022, we generated $161,107 of revenue from sales of non-prescription
+Added: frames, and $43,634 from sales of frames with prescription lenses.
+Added: All of the $73,959 in sales generated on Amazon during the period
+Added: were for non-prescription frames, as we only offer prescription lenses through our website.
+Added: Of the $71,910 in online sales generated
+Added: through Lucyd.co, $8,128 was related to frames with prescription lenses and $63,782 was related to glasses with non-prescription lenses.
+Added: the decline in net revenues, there have recently been several notable advances in our technology products and partnerships which speak
+Added: to the potential to grow revenues well beyond the current level:
+Added: hardware improvements include the development of a new proprietary four-speaker audio temple for the Lucyd Lyte flagship line, the
+Added: increase in battery life of all of our flagship to 12 hours of playback, which is longer than the vast majority of wireless audio
+Added: products, and design improvements to the frames overall that were the result of hiring two new expert eyewear designers.
+Added: software improvements include the development of a live broadcasting feature on the Company’s proprietary Vyrb mobile app,
+Added: the ability to import any form of audio content into Vyrb to support the migration of existing audio content creators to the platform,
+Added: and the introduction of the Company’s Digital Try-on Display into dozens of retail stores, to offer an immersive product experience
+Added: for in-store shoppers at our partner locations.
+Added: ● Our partnership with Authentic Brands Group,
+Added: which provides us with the right to use the Nautica, Eddie Bauer, and Reebok brands, foretells significantly improved consumer adoption,
+Added: due to the global popularity of these brands and existing traditional eyewear customers who already buy eyewear under these three brands.
+Added: The anticipated upcoming launch of the Nautica Powered by Lucyd line later this year, made possible by the exclusive agreement with Authentic
+Added: Brands Group, represents significant revenue potential.
+Added: We intend to partner with Nautica-branded sales channels and expect to be able
+Added: to increase our presence in other retail channels via the Nautica brand, a household name in dozens of countries.
+Added: We anticipate rolling
+Added: out our Nautica Powered by Lucyd line on Nautica.com and in Nautica stores in 2024.
+Added: time, we expect that the online portion of our sales will gradually decrease on a percentage basis but remain an important component
+Added: of our total sales as we onboard more retail stores.
+Added: We currently have a retail store presence in over 280 stores.
+Added: of goods sold
+Added: total cost of goods sold increased to $199,745 for the three months ended June 30, 2023, as compared to $161,494 for the three months
+Added: ended June 30, 2022.
+Added: This increase is primarily attributable to significant custom duties and importation fees paid during the current
+Added: quarter, as well as higher Amazon fees, partially offset by lower cost of frames as a result of the decrease in sales volumes during
+Added: the current quarter as compared with the prior quarter.
+Added: Additionally, a large number of replacement units provided for customer retention
+Added: due to the supply chain challenges mentioned above, and free units supplied for unbiased reviews and influencer content creation purposes,
+Added: contributed significantly to the increase in cost of goods sold.
+Added: Furthermore, smart eyewear is a highly specialized product that has
+Added: the combined specifications and component requirements of a wireless Bluetooth headset and optical eyewear in one, meaning it is expensive
+Added: to manufacture in small quantities of a few thousand at a time.
+Added: As demand and awareness for smart eyewear continues to grow over time,
+Added: the Company expects that its per unit cost will decrease as its order volumes increase.
+Added: of goods sold for the three months ended June 30, 2023 included the cost of frames of $71,564;
+Added: cost of prescription lenses incurred
+Added: with our third-party vendor of $33,092;
+Added: affiliate referral fees, sales commission expense, and e-commerce platform fees of $50,794;
+Added: custom duties and importation fees of $44,295.
+Added: Out of $199,745 of our total cost of goods sold for the three months ended June 30,
+Added: 2023, $33,092 related to orders with prescription lenses, while $166,653 pertained to non-prescription orders.
+Added: of goods sold for the three months ended June 30, 2022 included the cost of frames of $94,230;
+Added: cost of prescription lenses incurred
+Added: with our third-party vendor of $20,661;
+Added: and affiliate referral fees, sales commission expense, e-commerce platform fees of $44,406.
+Added: our total cost of goods sold for the three months ended June 30, 2022, $19,584 related to orders with prescription lenses, while
+Added: $141,910 pertained to non-prescription orders.
+Added: time, we expect third-party retail stores to become our primary sales channel as we onboard additional stores.
+Added: Consequently, we expect
+Added: sales of prescription lens, offered through our website to decrease, as our third-party retail partners outfit our Lyte frames with more
+Added: prescriptions.
+Added: As a result, over time we expect prescription lens costs to gradually decrease as a percentage of our overall cost of
+Added: We anticipate growth in both wholesale and e-commerce channel sales in the second half of 2023 ,
+Added: and we also expect corresponding growth in total cost of goods sold, primarily from additional product related costs.
+Added: We believe this
+Added: growth will be attributable to several factors:
+Added: our products continue to improve with each successive launch, notably in terms of comfort
+Added: and sound quality;
+Added: consumer awareness of our category continues to grow with smartglass sales overall increasing every year;
+Added: the Company is deploying new marketing tactics focused heavily on influencer content which we believe will better inform consumers about
+Added: our products.
+Added: Gross (deficit) profit
+Added: gross deficit was $29,816 for the three months ended June 30, 2023, as compared to a gross profit of $43,247 for the three months ended
+Added: June 30, 2022.
+Added: This decrease was primarily due to the combination of increased returns and concessions made for customer retention, significant
+Added: discounts offered during the current quarter in order to help drive unit sales and grow our market share, and the aforementioned significant
+Added: custom duties and importation fees paid during the current quarter, partially offset by modest growth in the wholesale and Lucyd.co sales
+Added: All told however, this is a minimal loss for a company producing significant innovations in both wearable hardware and software,
+Added: and management believes that the Company can be successful in the future with moderate advances in consumer sentiment surrounding smart
+Added: eyewear, via the further enhancement of the AI capabilities of our glasses with the Lucyd app, and via the powerful multi-brand partnership
+Added: with Authentic Brands Group.
+Added: expect gross profit for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2023 to improve, primarily due to economies of scale from large, anticipated
+Added: wholesale / retail partner orders.
+Added: As we expect retail stores to become our primary sales channel as we on-board new stores, we also
+Added: expect our overall gross margin to be better than that of the wholesale channel, since no e-commerce platform fees or prescription lens
+Added: costs apply in wholesale channels.
+Added: operating expenses increased by 10% to $1,304,475 for the three months ended June 30, 2023, as compared to $1,189,614 for the three
+Added: months ended June 30, 2022.
+Added: This increase was primarily due to the continued investments in the future growth and development of
+Added: our business and included, but was not limited to, the following:
+Added: and administrative expenses
+Added: general and administrative expenses increased by 36% to $968,354 for the three months ended June 30, 2023, as compared to $710,135 for
+Added: the three months ended June 30, 2022.
+Added: This increase was primarily due to an increase in employee-related costs, resulting from increases
+Added: in our staffing and new employment agreements entered into with executives in the latter portion of 2022.
+Added: and marketing expenses
+Added: sales and marketing expenses decreased by 74% to $103,643 for the three months ended June 30, 2023, as compared to $391,919 for
+Added: the three months ended June 30, 2022.
+Added: The decrease was primarily due to the reversal of approximately $309,000 of previously-recognized
+Added: stock-based compensation for certain individuals within the Company’s sales and marketing function whose awards expired without
+Added: ever having vested, as the related performance conditions (sales quotas) for those awards were not met.
+Added: This decrease was partially offset
+Added: by costs associated with ongoing efforts to further develop the Company’s brand presence and awareness across all of our sales
+Added: anticipate these costs to further increase as we continue to invest in and build our brand, expand the number of e-commerce platforms
+Added: on which we sell our products, invest in retail store co-op marketing programs to help educate our in-store customers about Lucyd Lytes,
+Added: and increase our brand’s physical presence and role in the eyewear industry.
+Added: and development costs
+Added: research and development costs increased by 276% to $197,478 for the three months ended June 30, 2023, as compared to $52,560 for the
+Added: three months ended June 30, 2022.
+Added: This increase was primarily attributable to an expansion of the Company’s software initiatives
+Added: to include the Lucyd app, and therefore increased the portion of the work hours spent by the CEO and CTO (as well as a portion of their
+Added: stock-based compensation expense) on new software development on the Vyrb app, the new Lucyd app, and our glasses, as well as external
+Added: coding teams we have engaged to write the programming for our software and enhance our software user experiences with code updates.
+Added: planned features include the ability to access AI other than ChatGPT from the Lucyd app, the addition of an audio content library for
+Added: users to enjoy, and further enhancements to the core AI functionality.
+Added: In terms of the Vyrb app, we are planning launching a full peer-to-peer
+Added: content marketplace in the style of Patreon, but with a focus on audio and content designed on and for wearables.
+Added: Additionally, the Company
+Added: hired a new full-time software engineer, and spent significant amounts on new product molds to enhance our core product offering.
+Added: party management fee
+Added: related party management fee was $35,000 for each of the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, based on the terms of the management
+Added: services agreement between us and an affiliate of our Parent.
+Added: income (expense)
+Added: other income (expense), net in the three months ended June 30, 2023 was $46,489, and was primarily comprised of refunds of certain
+Added: amounts that had been previously charged to the Company from the Parent and Affiliates in prior periods.
+Added: other income (expense) net in the three months ended June 30, 2021 was $(47,445), and was primarily comprised of interest expense
+Added: on intercompany financing from the Parent and Affiliates in the form of borrowings under a convertible note.
+Added: The convertible notes were
+Added: repaid in full during the six months ended June 30, 2023, and there were no amounts remaining outstanding under such convertible
+Added: notes as of June 30, 2023.
+Added: Months Ended June 30, 2023 and 2022
+Added: following table summarizes our results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2023 (the “current year period”)
+Added: and the six months ended June 30, 2022 (the “prior year period”):
+Added: six months ended
+Added: 2023 and 2022

+Added: (Deficit) Profit
+Added: and administrative
+Added: and marketing
+Added: & development
+Added: party management fee
+Added: Operating Expenses
+Added: Income (Expense)
+Added: Other Income (Expense)
+Added: Our revenues for the six months ended June 30,
+Added: 2023 were $314,850, representing a decrease of approximately 29% as compared to revenues of $440,763 during the six months ended June
+Added: Our revenue is generated entirely from sales of eyewear products, namely smart frames, lenses, and accessories.
+Added: in revenue was primarily attributable to significant discounts offered during the current year period in order to help drive unit sales
+Added: and grow our market share, which accounted for slightly more than half of the total revenue decline.
+Added: Key competing products, including
+Added: the Amazon Echo Frames, Ray Ban Stories, and Bose Frames, dropped their prices to or below the price point of Lucyd frames during temporary
+Added: and extended discount sales;
+Added: the power of these recognizable brands coupled with aggressive discounting meant that the competitive landscape
+Added: was more saturated compared to 2021.
+Added: To help respond to the ramp-up in the competition’s discounts, we introduced several promotions
+Added: in 2023 to support our continued market share growth.
+Added: The decline in revenue was also partially attributable to (i) lower revenues generated
+Added: through the wholesale sales channel, which accounted for almost 40% of the total revenue decline, due in large part to a significant
+Added: one-time sale to a retail store reseller / distributor in the prior year period, which was non-recurring in the current year period,
+Added: and (ii) the negative impact of manufacturing defects as discussed above, along with shipping delays of new product during the first
+Added: quarter as a result of factory shutdowns related to COVID-19 outbreaks in China.
+Added: the six months ended June 30, 2023, approximately 33% of sales were processed on our online store (Lucyd.co), 34% on Amazon, and
+Added: 33% with reseller partners.
+Added: For the six months ended June 30, 2023, we generated $265,689 of revenue from sales of non-prescription
+Added: frames and accessories, and $47,702 from sales of frames with prescription lenses.
+Added: All of the $107,257 in sales generated on Amazon.com
+Added: during the period were for non-prescription frames and accessories as we only offer prescription lenses through our website.
+Added: Of the $102,657
+Added: in online sales generated through Lucyd.co, $47,702 was related to frames with prescription lenses and $54,955 was related to glasses
+Added: with non-prescription lenses.
+Added: E-commerce sales are the most material portion of our sales to date.
+Added: the six months ended June 30, 2022, approximately 25% of sales were processed on our online store (Lucyd.co), 34% on Amazon, and
+Added: 41% with reseller partners.
+Added: This sales channel mix negatively impacted our revenue for the period, due to the fact we charge additional
+Added: $35 to $275 for our prescription lenses available only on Lucyd.co.
+Added: For the six months ended June 30, 2022, we generated $368,412
+Added: of revenue from sales of non-prescription frames and $72,351 was generated from sales of frames with prescription lenses.
+Added: $135,534 in sales generated on Amazon.com during the period were for non-prescription frames as we only offer prescription lenses through
+Added: Of the $124,740 in online sales generated through Lucyd.co, $35,508 related to frames with prescription lenses and $89,232
+Added: of glasses sold were with non-prescription lenses.
+Added: Ecommerce sales are the most material portion of our sales to date.
+Added: the decline in net revenues, there have recently been several notable advances in our technology products and partnerships which speak
+Added: to the potential to grow revenues well beyond the current level:
+Added: hardware improvements include the development of a new proprietary four-speaker audio temple for the Lucyd Lyte flagship line, the
+Added: increase in battery life of all of our flagship to 12 hours of playback, which is longer than the vast majority of wireless audio
+Added: products, and design improvements to the frames overall that were the result of hiring two new expert eyewear designers.
+Added: software improvements include the development of a live broadcasting feature on the Company’s proprietary Vyrb mobile app,
+Added: the ability to import any form of audio content into Vyrb to support the migration of existing audio content creators to the platform,
+Added: and the introduction of the Company’s Digital Try-on Display into dozens of retail stores, to offer an immersive product experience
+Added: for in-store shoppers at our partner locations.
+Added: ● Our partnership with Authentic Brands Group,
+Added: which provides us with the right to use the Nautica, Eddie Bauer, and Reebok brands, foretells significantly improved consumer adoption,
+Added: due to the global popularity of these brands and existing traditional eyewear customers who already buy eyewear under these three brands.
+Added: The anticipated upcoming launch of the Nautica Powered by Lucyd line later this year, made possible by the exclusive agreement with Authentic
+Added: Brands Group, represents significant revenue potential.
+Added: We intend to partner with Nautica-branded sales channels and expect to be able
+Added: to increase our presence in other retail channels via the Nautica brand, a household name in dozens of countries.
+Added: We anticipate rolling
+Added: out our Nautica Powered by Lucyd line on Nautica.com and in Nautica stores in 2024.
+Added: time, we expect that the online portion of our sales will gradually decrease on a percentage basis but remain an important component
+Added: of our total sales as we onboard more retail stores.
+Added: We currently have a retail store presence in over 280 stores.
+Added: of goods sold
+Added: total cost of goods sold increased to $334,375 for the six months ended June 30, 2023, as compared to $323,126 for the six months
+Added: ended June 30, 2022.
+Added: This increase is primarily attributable to significant custom duties, importation fees, and quality assurance
+Added: inspection fees paid during the current year period, largely offset by lower cost of frames.
+Added: Smart eyewear is a highly specialized product
+Added: that has the combined specifications and component requirements of a wireless Bluetooth headset and optical eyewear in one, meaning it
+Added: is expensive to manufacture in small quantities of a few thousand at a time.
+Added: As demand and awareness for smart eyewear continues to grow
+Added: over time, the Company expects that its per unit cost will decrease as its order volumes increase.
+Added: of goods sold for the six months ended June 30, 2023 notably included, but was not limited to, the cost of frames of $136,303;
+Added: of prescription lenses incurred with our third-party vendor of $55,215;
+Added: affiliate referral fees, sales commission expense, and e-commerce
+Added: platform fees of $67,382;
+Added: custom duties and importation fees of $44,295;
+Added: and quality assurance costs related to our products sold of
+Added: Out of $334,375 of our total cost of goods sold for the six months ended June 30, 2023, $55,215 related to orders with
+Added: prescription lenses, while $279,159 pertained to non-prescription orders.
+Added: of goods sold for the six months ended June 30, 2022 included, but were not limited to, the cost of frames of $195,818;
+Added: prescription lenses incurred with our third-party vendor of $55,081;
+Added: and affiliate referral fees, sales commission expense, and e-commerce
+Added: platform fees of $69,987.
+Added: Out of $323,126 of our total cost of goods sold for the six months ended June 30, 2022, $63,888 related
+Added: to orders with prescription lenses, while $259,238 pertained to non-prescription orders.
+Added: Over time, we expect third-party retail stores
+Added: to become our primary sales channel as we onboard additional stores.
+Added: Consequently, we expect sales of prescription lenses as a proportion
+Added: of total sales to decrease, as our third-party retail partners outfit our Lyte frames with more prescriptions.
+Added: As a result, over time
+Added: we expect prescription lens costs to gradually decrease as a percentage of our overall cost of goods sold.
+Added: We anticipate growth in both
+Added: wholesale and e-commerce channel sales in the second half of 2023, and we also expect corresponding growth in total cost of goods sold,
+Added: primarily from additional product related costs.
+Added: We believe this growth will be attributable to several factors:
+Added: our products continue
+Added: to improve with each successive launch, notably in terms of comfort and sound quality;
+Added: consumer awareness of our category continues to
+Added: grow with smartglass sales overall increasing every year;
+Added: and finally, we are deploying new marketing tactics focused heavily on influencer
+Added: content which we believe will better inform consumers about our products.
+Added: Gross (deficit) profit
+Added: Our gross deficit was $19,525 for the six months
+Added: ended June 30, 2023, as compared to a gross profit of $117,637 for the six months ended June 30, 2022.
+Added: This decrease was primarily due
+Added: to the combination of the aforementioned significant discounts offered during the current year period in order to help drive unit sales
+Added: and grow our market share, and the aforementioned significant custom duties and importation fees paid during the current year period,
+Added: largely offset by lower costs of frames.
+Added: expect gross profit for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2023 to improve, primarily due to economies of scale from large, anticipated
+Added: wholesale / retail partner orders.
+Added: As we expect retail stores to become our primary sales channel as we on-board new stores, we also
+Added: expect our overall gross margin to be better than that of the wholesale channel, since no e-commerce platform fees or prescription lens
+Added: costs apply in wholesale channels.
+Added: operating expenses increased by 66% to $2,743,713 for the six months ended June 30, 2023, as compared to $2,452,190 for the six
+Added: months ended June 30, 2022.
+Added: This increase was primarily due to the continued investments in the future growth and development of
+Added: our business and included, but was not limited to, the following:
+Added: and administrative expenses
+Added: general and administrative expenses increased by 146% to $1,962,126 for the six months ended June 30, 2023, as compared to $1,317,108
+Added: for the six months ended June 30, 2022.
+Added: This increase was primarily attributable to (i) increased costs associated with being a
+Added: publicly-traded company, including but not limited to directors’ remuneration, insurance expense, and public and investor relations,
+Added: which resulted in an increase in expense of approximately $320,000, and (ii) an increase of approximately $434,000 in employee-related
+Added: costs, resulting from increases in our staffing and new employment agreements entered into with executives in the latter portion of 2022.
+Added: These increases were partially offset by a decrease in consulting expenses.
+Added: and marketing expenses
+Added: sales and marketing expenses decreased by 139% to $362,940 for the six months ended June 30, 2023, as compared to $976,714 for the
+Added: six months ended June 30, 2022.
+Added: The decrease was primarily due to (i) the reversal of approximately $309,000 of previously-recognized
+Added: stock-based compensation for certain individuals within the Company’s sales and marketing function whose awards expired without
+Added: ever having vested, as the related performance conditions (sales quotas) for those awards were not met, and (ii) a temporary pause and
+Added: postponement on marketing spending during the first quarter of the 2023 while the Company restructured its e-commerce business.
+Added: restructuring efforts were completed as of March 31, 2023, and since then we have begun to scale back up to our former level of
+Added: advertising spend, with a lower average cost of sale as a result of the improved web presence and product improvements.
+Added: anticipate these costs to further increase as we continue to invest in and build our brand, expand the number of e-commerce platforms
+Added: on which we sell our products, invest in retail store co-op marketing programs to help educate our in-store customers about Lucyd Lytes,
+Added: and increase our brand’s physical presence and role in the eyewear industry.
+Added: and development costs
+Added: Our research and development costs increased
+Added: by 59% to $348,647 for the six months ended June 30, 2023, as compared to $88,367 for the six months ended June 30, 2022.
+Added: This increase
+Added: was primarily attributable to a large number of new temple and frontplate molds as we expand our core offering, an expansion of the Company’s
+Added: software initiatives to include the Lucyd app, and therefore increased the portion of the work hours spent by the CEO and CTO (as well
+Added: as a portion of their stock-based compensation expense) on new software development on the Vyrb app, the new Lucyd app, and our glasses,
+Added: as well as the hiring of an additional full-time software engineer to support our CTO.
+Added: Some planned features for our Lucyd app include
+Added: the ability to access AI other than ChatGPT, the addition of an audio content library for users to enjoy, and further enhancements to
+Added: the core AI functionality.
+Added: In terms of the Vyrb app, we are planning launching a full peer-to-peer content marketplace in the style of
+Added: Patreon, but with a focus on audio and content designed on and for wearables.
+Added: party management fee
+Added: related party management fee was $70,000 for each of the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, based on the terms of the management
+Added: services agreement between us and an affiliate of our Parent.
+Added: income (expense)
+Added: other income (expense), net in the six months ended June 30, 2023 was $44,626, and was primarily comprised of refunds of certain
+Added: amounts that had been previously charged to the Company from the Parent and Affiliates in prior periods.
+Added: other income (expense) net in the six months ended June 30, 2021 was $(65,819), and was primarily comprised of interest expense
+Added: on intercompany financing from the Parent and Affiliates in the form of borrowings under a convertible note.
+Added: The convertible notes were
+Added: repaid in full during the six months ended June 30, 2023, and there were no amounts remaining outstanding under such convertible
+Added: notes as of June 30, 2023.
+Added: and Capital Resources
+Added: cash flows from operating activities
+Added: cash flows from investing activities
+Added: cash flows from financing activities
+Added: Change in Cash
+Added: cash flows used in operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2023 are primarily reflective of our net loss for the
+Added: period, resulting from our operating costs to support and grow our business, including employee-related costs, sales and marketing, research
+Added: and development, and various costs associated with being a publicly-traded company.
+Added: Additionally, our operating assets levels grew significantly
+Added: as we have procured additional inventory to position us for future anticipated sales growth.
+Added: cash flows used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2023 are primarily related to the investment of a portion
+Added: of the proceeds from our recent capital-raising activities, in order to generate a return on those funds until they are needed, while
+Added: also maintaining appropriate liquidity levels.
+Added: Net cash flows from investing activities also reflect the continuing growth and expansion
+Added: of our patent portfolio.
+Added: cash flows provided by financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2023 are mainly driven by the various capital-raising
+Added: activities undertaken during the current year period, including our second public offering completed in June 2023, and exercises
+Added: of warrants by stockholders.
+Added: expect that operating losses could continue in the foreseeable future as we continue to invest in the expansion and development of our
+Added: We believe our existing cash and cash equivalents, as well as proceeds from our various capital-raising activities undertaken
+Added: in the six months ended June 30, 2023 (including our second public offering in June 2023, as described in Note 9 of the unaudited condensed
+Added: financial statements), funds available under our existing credit facility, and cash flows from operating activities will be sufficient
+Added: to fund our operations for at least the next twelve months.
+Added: our future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including, but not limited to, growth in the number of retail store customers,
+Added: the needs of our e-commerce business and retail distribution network, expansion of our product and software offerings, and the timing
+Added: of investments in technology and personnel to support the overall growth of our business.
+Added: To the extent that current and anticipated
+Added: future sources of liquidity are insufficient to fund our future business activities and requirements, we may be required to seek additional
+Added: equity or debt financing.
+Added: The sale of additional equity would result in additional dilution to our stockholders.
+Added: The incurrence of debt
+Added: financing would result in debt service obligations and the instruments governing such debt could provide for operating and financing
+Added: covenants that would restrict our operations.
+Added: There can be no assurances that we will be able to raise additional capital.
+Added: that additional financing is required from outside sources, we may not be able to negotiate terms acceptable to us or at all.
+Added: unable to raise additional capital when required, or if we cannot expand our operations or otherwise capitalize on our business opportunities
+Added: because we lack sufficient capital, our business, results of operations, financial condition, and cash flows would be adversely affected.
+Added: Sheet Arrangements
+Added: of June 30, 2023, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.
+Added: Accounting Policies and Significant Developments and Estimates
+Added: discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our financial statements, which have been prepared
+Added: in accordance with GAAP.
+Added: The preparation of our financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
+Added: amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported revenue generated and expenses incurred
+Added: during the reporting periods, as well as related disclosures.
+Added: Our estimates are based on our historical experience and on various other
+Added: factors that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying
+Added: value of assets and liabilities and the amount of revenue and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources.
+Added: Actual results
+Added: may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions, and any such differences may be material.
+Added: We believe that
+Added: the accounting policies discussed below are critical to understanding our historical and future performance, as these policies relate
+Added: to the more significant areas involving management’s judgments and estimates.
+Added: believe that our application of accounting policies, and the estimates inherently required therein, are reasonable.
+Added: We periodically re-evaluate
+Added: these accounting policies and estimates and make adjustments when facts and circumstances dictate a change.
+Added: Historically, we have found
+Added: our application of accounting policies to be appropriate, and actual results have not differed materially from those determined using
+Added: necessary estimates.
+Added: inventory includes purchased eyewear and is stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, with cost determined on a specific identification
+Added: method of inventory costing which attaches the actual cost to an identifiable unit of product.
+Added: Provisions for excess, obsolete, or slow-moving
+Added: inventory are recorded after periodic evaluation of historical sales, current economic trends, forecasted sales, estimated product life
+Added: cycles, and estimated inventory levels.
+Added: No provisions were determined as needed as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022.
+Added: of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, we recorded an inventory prepayment in the amount of $366,626 and $197,750, respectively,
+Added: related to down payment for eyewear purchased from the manufacturer, prior to shipment of the product that occurred after June 30,
+Added: 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.
+Added: assets relate to:
+Added: Internally-developed and
+Added: licensed utility and design patents.
+Added: We amortize these assets over the estimated useful life of the patents.
+Added: Capitalized software costs
+Added: incurred due to development of the Vyrb app.
+Added: We amortize these assets over the estimated useful life of the software application.
+Added: review our intangible assets for impairment whenever changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not
+Added: be recoverable.
+Added: are taxed as a C corporation.
+Added: We comply with Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) ASC 740 for accounting for uncertainty in income
+Added: taxes recognized in a company’s financial statements, which prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement process for financial
+Added: statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return.
+Added: For those benefits to be recognized,
+Added: a tax position must be more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities.
+Added: FASB ASC 740 also provides guidance
+Added: on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, and disclosure.
+Added: Based on our evaluation, we
+Added: have concluded that there are no significant uncertain tax positions requiring recognition in our financial statements.
+Added: We believe that
+Added: our income tax positions would be sustained on audit and do not anticipate any adjustments that would result in a material change to
+Added: the Company’s financial position.
+Added: have incurred taxable losses since inception but are current in our tax filing obligations.
+Added: We are not presently subject to any income
+Added: tax audit in any taxing jurisdiction.
+Added: account for stock-based compensation to employees and directors in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718, which requires that compensation
+Added: expense be recognized in the financial statements for stock-based awards based on the grant date fair value.
+Added: For stock option awards,
+Added: the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model was used to estimate the fair value of share-based awards.
+Added: The Black-Scholes-Merton option
+Added: pricing model incorporates various and highly subjective assumptions, including expected term and share price volatility.
+Added: term of the stock options was estimated based on the simplified method as allowed by Staff Accounting Bulletin 107 (SAB 107).
+Added: share price volatility at the grant date is estimated using historical stock prices based upon the expected term of the options granted,
+Added: using stock prices of comparably profiled public companies.
+Added: The risk-free interest rate assumption is determined using the rates for
+Added: Treasury zero-coupon bonds with maturities similar to those of the expected term of the award being valued.
+Added: revenue is generated from the sales of prescription and non-prescription optical glasses, sunglasses, and shipping charges, which are
+Added: charged to the customer, associated with these purchases.
+Added: We sell products through our retail store resellers, distributors, and on our
+Added: own website Lucyd.co and on Amazon.
+Added: determine revenue recognition, we perform the following steps:
+Added: (i) identify the contract(s) with a customer, (ii) identify the performance
+Added: obligations in the contract, (iii) determine the transaction price, (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations
+Added: in the contract, and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) we satisfy a performance obligation.
+Added: At contract inception, we assess the goods
+Added: or services promised within each contract, determine those that are performance obligations, and assess whether each promised good or
+Added: service is distinct.
+Added: We then recognize as revenue the amount of the transaction price that is allocated to the respective performance
+Added: obligation when (or as) the performance obligation is satisfied.
+Added: In instances where the collectability of contractual consideration is
+Added: not probable at the time of sale, the revenue is deferred on our balance sheet as a contract liability, and the associated cost of goods
+Added: sold is deferred on our balance sheet as a contract asset;
+Added: subsequently, we recognize such revenue and cost of goods sold as payments
+Added: are received.
+Added: revenue, including sales processed online and through our retail store resellers and distributors, is reported net of sales taxes collected
+Added: from customers on behalf of taxing authorities, returns, and discounts.
+Added: sales generated through our e-commerce channels, we identify the contract with a customer upon online purchase of our eyewear and transaction
+Added: price at the manufacturer suggested retail price (“MSRP”) for non-prescription, polarized sunglass and blue light blocking
+Added: glasses across all of our online channels.
+Added: Our e-commerce revenue is recognized upon meeting of the performance obligation when the eyewear
+Added: is shipped to end customers.
+Added: consumers enjoy free USPS first class postage, with faster delivery options available for extra
+Added: cost, for sales processed through our website and on Amazon.
+Added: For Amazon sales, shipping is free for U.S consumers while international
+Added: customers pay shipping charges on top of MSRP.
+Added: Any costs associated with fees charged by the online platforms (Shopify for Lucyd.co website
+Added: and Amazon) are not recharged to customers and are recorded as a component of cost of goods sold as incurred.
+Added: The Company charges applicable
+Added: state sales taxes in addition to the MSRP for both online channels and all other marketplaces on which the company sells products.
+Added: sales to our retail store partners, we identify the contract with a customer upon receipt of an order of our eyewear through our Shopify
+Added: wholesale portal or direct purchase order.
+Added: Our revenue is recognized upon meeting the performance obligation which is delivery of our
+Added: eyewear products to the retail store and also recorded net of returns and discounts.
+Added: Our wholesale pricing for eyewear sold to the retail
+Added: store partners includes volume discounts, due to the nature of large quantity orders.
+Added: The pricing includes shipping charges, while excluding
+Added: any state sales tax charges applicable.
+Added: Due to the nature of wholesale retail orders, no e-commerce fees are applicable.
+Added: sales to distributors, we identify the contract with a customer upon receipt of an order of our eyewear through a direct purchase order
+Added: and after collectability of substantially all of the contract consideration is probable.
+Added: Our revenue is recognized upon meeting the performance
+Added: obligation, which is delivery of our eyewear products to the distributor and is also recorded net of returns and discounts.
+Added: Our wholesale
+Added: pricing for eyewear sold to distributors includes volume discounts, due to the nature of large quantity orders.
