−Removed: All of the $56,194 in sales generated on Amazon.com during the current quarter were for non-prescription frames and accessories, as we only offer prescription lenses through our website.
−Removed: Of the $137,135 in online sales generated through Lucyd.co, $63,459 was related to frames with prescription lenses and $73,676 was related to glasses with non-prescription lenses.
−Removed: E-commerce sales remain to be the most material portion of our sales to date;
−Removed: however, out of all of our sales channels, we believe that the wholesale optical channel represents the most promising opportunity for future growth.
−Removed: We anticipate that as smart eyewear becomes more normalized for prescription wear, major national eye care providers will begin to onboard smart eyewear products, and we believe we are the value leader in that sector.
−Removed: For the three months ended September 30, 2023, approximately 42% of sales were processed on our online store (Lucyd.co), 29% on Amazon.com, and 29% with reseller partners.
−Removed: For the three months ended September 30, 2023, we generated $187,086 of revenue from sales of non-prescription frames and accessories, and $34,789 from sales of frames with prescription lenses.
−Removed: All of the $63,027 in sales generated on Amazon.com during the 2023 period were for non-prescription frames and accessories, as we only offer prescription lenses through our website.
−Removed: Of the $93,704 in online sales generated through Lucyd.co, $34,789 was related to frames with prescription lenses and $58,915 was related to glasses with non-prescription lenses.
−Removed: Cost of Goods Sold
−Removed: Our total cost of goods sold increased to $194,255 for the three months ended September 30, 2024, as compared to $141,531 for the prior year quarter.
−Removed: This year-over-year increase of 37% was driven by a combination of factors, including:
−Removed: (i.) higher cost of frames, largely attributable to the new Eddie Bauer® Powered by Lucyd collection, due to the increased number of components, deluxe finishes, and materials associated with that product line, (ii.) higher shipping and logistics costs, and (iii.) the impact of certain period costs and other one-off items, most notably including approximately $44,000 of credits related to custom duties and taxes included in the prior year quarter amounts which did not recur in the current quarter.
−Removed: These increased costs were partially offset by significant decreases in lens fulfilment costs, which decreased by approximately 50% from the prior year quarter.
−Removed: This is primarily attributable to actions taken by management in the current year to better manage these costs, including (i.) the launch of the new Lucyd Shift and Lucyd Blueshift transitional lenses in place of branded third-party transitional lenses, offering similar functionality for a lower cost of goods, while also enabling a slightly lower cost to the customer, and (ii.) the engagement of a new lower-cost lens supplier based in Miami, Florida.
−Removed: Cost of goods sold for the three months ended September 30, 2024 included the cost of frames of $107,469;
−Removed: cost of prescription lenses incurred with third-party vendors of $38,247;
−Removed: commissions, affiliate referral fees, and e-commerce platform fees of $24,413;
−Removed: and shipping and logistics costs of $22,512.
−Removed: Out of our total cost of goods sold for the current quarter of $194,255, $38,247 related to orders with prescription lenses, while $156,008 pertained to non-prescription orders.
−Removed: We anticipate that our cost of goods sold will improve in future periods as new products – i.e., Lucyd Armor and Reebok® Powered by Lucyd – sourced from a new supplier are launched in the fourth quarter of 2024 and first quarter of 2025, respectively, as the frames for these product lines are designed differently from our other products and accordingly have fewer components, thus reducing their price.
−Removed: We estimate that the unit cost of these new product lines will be at least 30% lower than our Lucyd Lyte models.
−Removed: Cost of goods sold for the three months ended September 30, 2023 included the cost of frames of $79,410;
−Removed: cost of prescription lenses incurred with third-party vendors of $76,346;
−Removed: period costs (credits) of approximately $(44,000) related to custom duties and taxes;
−Removed: and other items including affiliate referral fees, e-commerce platform fees, commissions, and custom duties and importation fees for a total of $22,312.
−Removed: Out of our total cost of goods sold for the three months ended September 30, 2023 of $141,531, $76,346 related to orders with prescription lenses, while $65,185 pertained to non-prescription orders.
−Removed: We anticipate further growth in revenues in the fourth quarter of 2024, largely in part to the launch of our the new Lucyd Armor product line, along with corresponding growth in total cost of goods sold.
−Removed: As we continue to refine our product mix with sales data, we anticipate reducing our unit costs by focusing only on the highest volume, market-tested styles.
−Removed: Additionally, our new lower-cost supplier has indicated significant price breaks of up to 50% are possible as we increase unit volume, demonstrating the profit potential for Lucyd Armor and Reebok sunglasses.
−Removed: Our gross profit for the current quarter was $59,344, as compared to $80,344 for the prior year quarter.
−Removed: Our gross margin was 23% in the current quarter and 36% in the prior year quarter, representing a decline of approximately 13 percentage points from the prior year period.
−Removed: This decrease in gross profit and gross margin was primarily the result of higher cost of goods sold as a result of the factors described above, as well as the impact of period costs (credits) as described above.
−Removed: That said, the current quarter gross margin of 23% represents an improvement from our gross margin of 2% in the quarter ended March 31, 2024 and 18% in the quarter ended June 30, 2024.
−Removed: This indicates a positive trend, and we expect our gross margin to continue to improve given the ongoing impact of lower lens fulfilment costs coupled with the anticipated lower unit costs associated with the Lucyd Armor product line launching the fourth quarter of 2024 and the Reebok® Powered by Lucyd product line launching in the first quarter of 2025.
−Removed: We believe that in the long term, the majority of our business will ultimately come from frame sales to distributors and eyewear retailers.
−Removed: We anticipate that the upcoming launches of new product lines in the fourth quarter of 2024 and first half of 2025 will help us progress towards our long-term goal of shifting our sales mix more towards the wholesale channel, which should bring consistent, large-scale orders with minimal marketing costs.
−Removed: Operating Expenses
−Removed: Our operating expenses increased by 9% to $1,821,407 for the three months ended September 30, 2024, as compared to $1,677,140 for the three months ended September 30, 2023.
−Removed: This increase was primarily due to the following:
−Removed: General and administrative expenses
−Removed: Our general and administrative expenses increased
−Removed: by $206,435 or 23% to $1,121,972 for the three months ended September 30, 2024, as compared to $915,537 for the prior year quarter.
−Removed: increase was primarily attributable to an increase in legal costs of approximately $168,000, largely as a result of various shareholder
−Removed: and equity-related matters during the current quarter.
−Removed: The Company maintains a lean staff salaried at market rates, and a significant portion of our general and administrative expenses consist of corporate overhead type costs which are fixed or semi-fixed in nature (e.g., rent, compliance, legal and professional services, etc.);
−Removed: as such, our general and administrative expenses are not expected to scale up significantly as our revenue increases over time.
−Removed: Sales and marketing expenses
−Removed: Our sales and marketing expenses were $533,066 for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and $533,902 for the three months ended September 30, 2023, or essentially flat year-over-year.
−Removed: Compared to the prior year quarter, we spent more on events and trade shows, and less on influencers and paid ads, in the current quarter;
−Removed: this reflects short-term tactical shifts in our marketing approach to react to current trends and opportunities as they arise, and make smart investments in advertising and marketing spending that we believe will maximize our impact and provide for future growth.
−Removed: From a long-term perspective, while we expect that our total sales and marketing expenses will scale up to some degree as our revenue increases, we anticipate that such increases in sales and marketing expenses will be mitigated somewhat by our planned focus on growing the wholesale optical channel, which, due to the nature of that channel, inherently does not require costly marketing campaigns to acquire each customer and as a result typically carries a lower marketing cost per unit sold.
−Removed: Additionally, we generally expect that a retailer who is successful with our products will reorder in large quantities, also without significant marketing expenditure.
−Removed: Research and development costs
−Removed: Our research and development costs decreased by 32% to $131,369 for the three months ended September 30, 2024, as compared to $192,701 for the three months ended September 30, 2023, primarily due to product development cycle timing.
−Removed: Related party management fee
−Removed: Our related party management fee was $35,000 for each of the three-month periods ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, based on the terms of the management services agreement between us and Tekcapital.
Other Income (Expense), net
−Removed: Total other income (expense), net in the three months ended September 30, 2024 was $41,386.
−Removed: This amount was primarily comprised of dividends from our investments in money market funds, partially offset by other unrelated expenses.
−Removed: Total other income (expense), net in the three months ended September 30, 2023 was $45,691.
−Removed: This amount was primarily comprised of interest, dividends, and investment returns from our investments in money market funds and U.S.
−Removed: Treasury bills.
−Removed: Results of Operations – Year to Date
−Removed: The following table summarizes our results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 (the “current nine months”) and the nine months ended September 30, 2023 (the “prior year nine months”):

−Removed: Total Other Income (Expense), net
−Removed: Our revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 were $945,752, representing an increase of 76% as compared to revenues of $536,725 during the nine months ended September 30, 2023.
−Removed: The increase in revenue was primarily attributable to significant growth in the e-commerce channel, with net sales through our Lucyd.co website and Amazon.com increasing by approximately 190% and 45%, respectively, from the prior year nine months, while wholesale revenues declined by approximately 33%.
−Removed: Overall, our revenue growth is mainly driven by our new product launches over the past year (including the Lyte XL collection in the fourth quarter of 2023 and the co-branded Nautica® Powered by Lucyd and Eddie Bauer® Powered by Lucyd collections in the current year period).
−Removed: We believe our brand partnerships play a significant role in our revenue growth by offering a more diversified product line that speaks to consumers from different demographics (for example, Nautica® generally appeals to a more fashion-forward customer than Lucyd Lyte, and Eddie Bauer® generally appeals to an older demographic than our other lines).
−Removed: Also contributing to our growth in revenues are our continued investments in marketing and advertising initiatives, as well as increased public interest and growth in smart glasses and the wearable products category.
−Removed: The decline in wholesale revenues was largely driven by a change in our focus during the current year from small, independent retailers to major national retailers, the latter of which have slower product approval and purchasing cycles.
−Removed: However, we believe that focusing on introducing our product in major national retailers will have a significant positive impact on the Company’s revenues in the next 3 to 18 months.
−Removed: For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, approximately 61% of sales were processed on our online store (Lucyd.co), 26% on Amazon.com, and 13% with reseller partners.
−Removed: This sales channel mix positively impacted our revenue for the current nine months as compared with the prior year nine months, due to the fact we charge an additional $35 to $275 for our prescription lenses available only on Lucyd.co.
−Removed: For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, we generated an aggregate of $687,855 of revenue from sales of non-prescription frames and accessories, $255,325 from sales of frames with prescription lenses, and $2,572 of revenue from app subscriptions.
−Removed: All of the $246,455 in sales generated on Amazon.com during the current nine months were for non-prescription frames and accessories, as we only offer prescription lenses through our website.
−Removed: Of the $575,577 in online sales generated through Lucyd.co, $255,325 was related to frames with prescription lenses and $320,252 was related to glasses with non-prescription lenses.
−Removed: E-commerce sales remain to be the most material portion of our sales to date;
−Removed: however, out of all of our sales channels, we believe that the wholesale optical channel represents the most promising opportunity for future growth.
−Removed: We anticipate that as smart eyewear becomes more normalized for prescription wear, major national eye care providers will begin to onboard smart eyewear products, and we believe we are the value leader in that sector.
−Removed: For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, approximately 37% of sales were processed on our online store (Lucyd.co), 32% on Amazon, and 31% with reseller partners.
−Removed: For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, we generated $454,233 of revenue from sales of non-prescription frames and accessories, and $82,492 from sales of frames with prescription lenses.
−Removed: All of the $170,284 in sales generated on Amazon.com during the period were for non-prescription frames and accessories as we only offer prescription lenses through our website.
−Removed: Of the $193,591 in online sales generated through Lucyd.co, $82,492 was related to frames with prescription lenses and $111,099 was related to glasses with non-prescription lenses.
+Added: Our revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2025 were $454,501, representing an increase of 19% as compared to revenues of $383,471 during the three months ended March 31, 2024.
+Added: This increase is primarily attributable to overall volume increases, as well as improved pricing and lower discounts on products sold.
+Added: The year-over-year volume increases are largely reflective of new product launches over the past year (including the cobranded Nautica ® Powered by Lucyd and Eddie Bauer ® Powered by Lucyd collections which were launched in January 2024 and April 2024, respectively, and the Lucyd Armor product line which was launched in October 2024).
+Added: Our continued investments in marketing and advertising initiatives, as well as increased public interest and growth in smart glasses and the wearable products category, also contributed to this volume growth.
+Added: aforementioned improvements in pricing are primarily attributable to adjustments to our product pricing and Manufacturer’s Suggested
+Added: Retail Price implemented in the prior year, which were aimed at enhancing profitability and attracting distributors to manage our wholesale
+Added: Additionally, we have made strategic reductions in price discounts as appropriate.
+Added: We believe these strategies reflect customers’
+Added: growing recognition of the quality and value proposition of our recent new product launches and support our long-term growth objectives.
+Added: These factors, plus various promotional efforts outside of traditional pay-per-click e-commerce ads, resulted in increased AOV (average
+Added: order value) compared to the prior year quarter.
+Added: For the three months ended March 31, 2025, approximately 40% of sales were processed on our online store (Lucyd.co), 52% on Amazon.com, and 7% through reseller partners, with 1% of our net revenues generated from Lucyd “Pro” app subscriptions.
+Added: For the three months ended March 31, 2025, we generated an aggregate of $291,065 of revenue from sales of non-prescription smartglasses and accessories, $160,605 from sales of smartglasses with prescription lenses, and $2,831 of revenue from app subscriptions.
+Added: All of the sales generated on Amazon.com were for non-prescription smartglasses and accessories (as we only offer prescription lenses through our website), while $160,605 of the online sales generated through Lucyd.co was related to smartglasses with prescription lenses.
+Added: For the three months ended March 31, 2024, approximately 67% of sales were processed on our online store (Lucyd.co), 29% on Amazon.com, and 4% through reseller partners.
+Added: For the three months ended March 31, 2024, we generated $272,742 of revenue from sales of non-prescription smartglasses and accessories, and $110,729 from sales of smartglasses with prescription lenses.
+Added: All of the sales generated on Amazon.com were for non-prescription smartglasses and accessories (as we only offer prescription lenses through our website), while $110,729 of the online sales generated through Lucyd.co was related to smartglasses with prescription lenses.
+Added: e-commerce sales remain to be the most material portion of our sales since inception;
+Added: however, out of all of our sales channels, we believe
+Added: that the wholesale optical channel represents the most promising opportunity for future growth in the long-term.
+Added: To date, we believe
+Added: e-commerce has been best suited to sell smart eyewear because of the enhanced product exposure opportunity compared to product on a shelf
+Added: in a physical store – as online, prospective customers are able to learn more about products, conduct virtual try-ons, and comparison
+Added: shop across the web with ease.
+Added: However, we anticipate that as smart eyewear becomes a more normalized product category and becomes more
+Added: common for prescription wear, major national eye care providers will begin to onboard smart eyewear products, and we believe we are the
+Added: value leader in that sector.
+Added: We have already started to see major retailers begin to offer smart eyewear in-store.
+Added: With the success of
+Added: the recently-launched Lucyd Armor smartglasses for the safety/industrial segment, which represents a growing market in which we currently
+Added: have little or no direct competition, and the anticipated success of the recent launch of Reebok ® Powered by
+Added: Lucyd smartglasses for the sport/active lifestyle segment, for which we believe we will have a distinct advantage, as most sport
+Added: smartglasses are very low quality Aliexpress products, we believe we are very well positioned to generate significant revenue growth
+Added: In order to support the launch and expansion of our Reebok ® Powered by Lucyd and Lucyd Armor
+Added: lines, we have recently expanded our sales team with the addition of two new sales directors, who have significant experience in optical
+Added: sales and hardware sales.
+Added: In addition, and in light of the current tariff situation, we also plan to focus more on international expansion
+Added: during the current year.
Cost of Goods Sold
−Removed: Our total cost of goods sold increased to $824,281 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, as compared to $475,906 for the prior year nine months.
−Removed: This year-over-year increase of 73% was comparable to our year-over-year increase in net revenue of 76%, and was primarily driven by higher sales volumes and gross sales during the current nine months as compared with the prior year comparable period.
−Removed: Cost of frames increased by approximately 90% from the prior year nine months, primarily related to the increase in sales volumes and also partially attributable to higher cost of goods sold associated with the new Eddie Bauer® Powered by Lucyd collection, due to the increased number of components, deluxe finishes, and materials for that product line.
−Removed: Cost of lenses increased by approximately 49% from the prior year nine months, mainly driven by sales channel mix, as a higher relative proportion of our sales in the current nine months were through our online store (Lucyd.co), and the cost of prescription lenses attributable to this channel increased our cost of goods sold while not impacting cost of goods sold for sales realized through Amazon or retail store partners.
−Removed: These cost increases were partially offset by actions taken by management in the current year to better manage these costs, including (i.) the launch of the new Lucyd Shift and Lucyd Blueshift transitional lenses in place of branded third-party transitional lenses, offering similar functionality for a lower cost of goods, while also enabling a slightly lower cost to the customer, and (ii.) the engagement of a new lower-cost lens supplier based in Miami, Florida.
−Removed: Cost of goods sold for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 notably included, but was not limited to, the cost of frames of $434,876;
−Removed: cost of prescription lenses incurred with third-party vendors of $196,030;
+Added: Our total cost of goods sold decreased to $233,968 for the three months ended March 31, 2025, as compared to $376,520 for the prior year quarter.
+Added: This year-over-year decrease of 38% was primarily driven by lower cost of frames and lower prescription lens fulfilment cost.
+Added: The decrease in the cost of frames as compared to the prior year quarter was primarily attributable to the combination of:
+Added: realization of greater economies of scale – i.e., smart eyewear is a highly specialized product that is expensive to manufacture in smaller quantities, but over time as our manufacturing order volumes have grown, our cost per unit has decreased;
+Added: improvements in product price/mix – i.e., a significant portion of the units sold in the current quarter were from our Lucyd Armor line, which have a lower manufacturing cost than our other product lines (as they are designed differently and have fewer components), whereas no Lucyd Armor units were sold in prior year quarter (as the product had not yet launched).
+Added: The decrease in lens fulfilment costs was attributable to actions taken by management in the prior year to better manage these costs, including:
+Added: the launch of Lucyd Shift and Lucyd Blueshift transitional lenses in place of branded third-party transitional lenses, offering similar functionality for a lower cost of goods, while also enabling a slightly lower cost to the customer;
+Added: the engagement of a new lower-cost lens supplier based in Miami, Florida.
+Added: Cost of goods sold for the three months ended March 31, 2025 included but was not limited to the cost of frames of $72,701;
+Added: cost of prescription lenses incurred with our third-party vendor of $68,051;
commissions, affiliate referral fees, and e-commerce platform fees of $30,291;
shipping and logistics costs of $38,909;
−Removed: and product certification costs of $29,100.
−Removed: Out of our total cost of goods sold for the current nine months of $824,281, $196,030 related to orders with prescription lenses, while $628,251 pertained to non-prescription orders.
−Removed: We anticipate that our cost of goods sold will improve in future periods as new products – i.e., Lucyd Armor and Reebok® Powered by Lucyd – sourced from a new supplier are launched in the fourth quarter of 2024 and first quarter of 2025, respectively, as the frames for these product lines are designed differently from our other products and accordingly have fewer components, thus reducing their price.
−Removed: We estimate that the unit cost of these new product lines will be at least 30% lower than our Lucyd Lyte models.
−Removed: Cost of goods sold for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 notably included, but was not limited to, the cost of frames of $215,713;
−Removed: cost of prescription lenses incurred with third-party vendors of $131,561;
+Added: and quality assurance costs related to our products sold of $4,002.
+Added: Out of $233,968 of our total cost of goods sold for the current quarter, $68,051 related to orders with prescription lenses, while $165,917 pertained to non-prescription orders.
+Added: Cost of goods sold for the three months ended March 31, 2024 included but was not limited to the cost of frames of $184,978;
+Added: cost of prescription lenses incurred with our third-party vendor of $103,069;
commissions, affiliate referral fees, and e-commerce platform fees of $42,826;
+Added: shipping and logistics costs of $15,914;
and quality assurance costs related to our products sold of $4,238.
−Removed: Out of our total cost of goods sold for the prior year nine months of $475,906, $131,561 related to orders with prescription lenses, while $344,345 pertained to non-prescription orders.
−Removed: We anticipate further growth in revenues in the fourth quarter of 2024, largely in part to the launch of our the new Lucyd Armor product line, along with corresponding growth in total cost of goods sold.
−Removed: As we continue to refine our product mix with sales data, we anticipate reducing our unit costs by focusing only on the highest volume, market-tested styles.
−Removed: Our gross profit for the current nine months was $121,471, as compared to $60,819 for the prior year nine months.
−Removed: Our gross margin was 13% in the current nine months and 11% in the prior year nine months, representing an improvement of approximately 2 percentage points from the prior year period.
−Removed: This 100% improvement in gross profit (in absolute dollar terms) and the slight improvement in gross margins is the net result of the various factors discussed in detail above.
−Removed: We continue to work with all of suppliers and vendors to reduce our unit costs.
−Removed: Our gross margins during the current year period are increasing and trending in a positive direction, and we expect our gross margin to continue to improve given the ongoing impact of lower lens fulfilment costs that have started to be realized in the current quarter, coupled with the anticipated lower unit costs associated with the Lucyd Armor product line launching the fourth quarter of 2024 and the Reebok® Powered by Lucyd product line launching in the first quarter of 2025.
+Added: Out of $376,520 of our total cost of goods sold for the current quarter, $103,069 related to orders with prescription lenses, while $273,451 pertained to non-prescription orders.
+Added: Our gross profit for the current quarter was $220,533,
+Added: as compared to $6,951 for the prior year quarter.
+Added: Our gross profit margin was 49% in the current quarter and 2% in the prior year quarter,
+Added: representing an increase of approximately 47 percentage points from the prior year period.
+Added: This significant improvement in profitability
+Added: was the primarily attributable to lower cost of goods sold as a result of the cost improvements described above, as well as the increase
+Added: in revenues as described above.
+Added: This strong margin improvement from the prior year quarter reflects a number of measures taken by the
+Added: Company to reduce our costs per sale and increase AOV, including changing lens suppliers, launching our own transitional lenses in place
+Added: of branded third-party transitional lenses, obtaining price reductions from our frame suppliers as we have scaled up our production quantities,
+Added: and engaging in a variety of promotional efforts outside of traditional pay-per-click e-commerce ads.
+Added: In the near to medium term, we anticipate further growth in revenues in future quarters, largely in part due to the launch of our new Reebok ® Powered by Lucyd product line in the second quarter of 2025, and the introduction of further variants of the popular Lucyd Armor product, along with corresponding growth in total cost of goods sold.
+Added: While the current tariff situation is expected to result in an increase in our costs, we also believe the current tariff situation is bringing smart eyewear to price parity with traditional designer eyewear (as the combined duty on many conventional eyewear lines imported from China – which makes approximately 90% of the world’s eyewear – is currently 155%, compared with a total effective duty rate of 27.5% for smart eyewear products imported from China), which may result in increased consumer interest in smart eyewear and increased sales of our products.
+Added: We are also continually refining our product mix with sales data, and anticipate further reducing our unit costs by focusing only on the highest volume, market-tested styles.
We believe that in the long term, the majority of our business will ultimately come from frame sales to distributors and eyewear retailers.
−Removed: Additionally, we anticipate that the upcoming launches of new product lines in the fourth quarter of 2024 and first half of 2025 will help us progress towards our long-term goal of shifting our sales mix more towards the wholesale channel, which carries higher margins for us.
+Added: We anticipate that the launches of new product lines in 2025 will help us progress towards our long-term goal of shifting our sales mix more towards the wholesale channel, which should bring consistent, large-scale orders with minimal marketing costs.
Operating Expenses
−Removed: Our operating expenses increased by 33% to $5,872,483 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, as compared to $4,420,853 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023.
+Added: Our operating expenses increased by 5% to $2,124,324 for the three months ended March 31, 2025, as compared to $2,021,542 for the three months ended March 31, 2024.
This increase was primarily due to the following:
General and administrative expenses
−Removed: Our general and administrative expenses increased by 23% to $3,526,217 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, as compared to $2,877,663 for the prior year nine months.
−Removed: This increase was largely driven by the combination of (i) a $325,000 release payment made to a shareholder counterparty during the current nine months for the waiver of certain of that counterparty’s pre-existing contractual rights related to the Company’s equity offerings during the second quarter of 2024, (ii) an increase in legal costs of approximately $187,000, largely as a result of various shareholder and equity-related matters during the current year period, (iii) the cost of various licensing agreements we have entered into in order to support our co-branding initiatives and expand our patent portfolio, and (iv) higher investor relations costs.
−Removed: These increases were partially offset by lower insurance costs.
+Added: Our general and administrative expenses declined slightly year-over-year, decreasing by $17,598 or approximately 2% to $1,091,348 for the three months ended March 31, 2025, as compared to $1,108,946 for the prior year quarter.
+Added: This slight decrease primarily reflects the net result of decreases in stock-based compensation expense and investor relations costs compared with the prior year period, largely offset by increased expenses incurred under multi-year license agreements.
+Added: Non-cash expenses – including depreciation, amortization, and stock-based compensation – comprised approximately 14% and 23% of our total general and administrative expenses in the current quarter and prior year quarter, respectively.
The Company maintains a lean staff salaried at market rates, and a significant portion of our general and administrative expenses consist of corporate overhead type costs which are fixed or semi-fixed in nature (e.g., rent, compliance, legal and professional services, etc.);

Sales and marketing expenses

−Removed: This year-over-year increase is primarily attributable to the combination of the following main drivers:
−Removed: the restructuring of our e-commerce business during the first half of 2023, during which we temporarily paused and postponed our marketing spending, and management made a tactical decision to preserve a significant portion of our marketing budget for later in the year, in order to better align the timing of marketing spending with major new product launches and thus maximize impact.
−Removed: In the latter portion of 2023 and continuing through the current nine months, we have significantly increased our advertising and marketing efforts, particularly in the areas of spending on paid ads on websites and social media platforms, in order to drive growth in our revenues and market share.
−Removed: the fact that the prior year nine months included a reversal of approximately $309,000 of previously-recognized stock-based compensation for certain individuals within the Company’s sales and marketing function whose awards expired without ever having vested, as the related performance conditions (sales quotas) for those awards were not met.
−Removed: From a long-term perspective, while we expect that our total sales and marketing expenses will scale up to some degree as our revenue increases, we anticipate that such increases in sales and marketing expenses will be mitigated somewhat by our planned focus on growing the wholesale optical channel, which, due to the nature of that channel, inherently does not require costly marketing campaigns to acquire each customer and as a result typically carries a lower marketing cost per unit sold.
+Added: Our sales and marketing expenses increased $126,105 or approximately 19% to $787,400 for the three months ended March 31, 2025 from $661,295 for the three months ended March 31, 2024.
+Added: This increase was primarily driven by increased spending on events and trade shows, as we seek to grow and expand our network of potential B2B business partners.
+Added: At the same time, we continue to make significant investments in paid ads in order to build brand awareness, attract new customers, and increase our market share.

Research and development costs
−Removed: Our research and development costs increased by 12% to $604,472 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, as compared to $541,348 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023.
−Removed: This increase was primarily attributable to the write-off of approximately $88,000 of previously-capitalized software costs related to the development of the Vyrb app (which was launched as an open beta version in 2021, and has had new features added over time, but had never been officially launched) as a result of management’s decision in 2024 to de-emphasize the Vyrb app in favor of shifting our primary software development focus to the Lucyd app.
−Removed: Certain elements and features developed for the Vyrb app may potentially be incorporated into future releases of the Lucyd app.
−Removed: The impact of the aforementioned write-off was partially offset by the impacts of product development cycles and timing of associated research and development spending.
+Added: Our research and development costs decreased by $5,725 or approximately 3% to $210,576 for the three months ended March 31, 2025, as compared to $216,301 for the three months ended March 31, 2024, primarily due to product development cycle timing.
