Lightwave Logic, Inc. filed an amended quarterly report for the period ended June 30, 2025 to correct how it accounted for certain non-cash stock option exercises. The restatement reduced non-cash compensation expense by $705,499 for the quarter and six-month period, lowering the reported net loss to $4,966,633 for the quarter and $9,663,657 for six months. A separate historical error from 2021 reclassified $3,407,443 between accumulated deficit and additional paid-in capital, without changing cash. The company’s business remains early-stage, with net sales of only $25,605 in the quarter, driven by a single material supply and license agreement.
Lightwave ended the half year with cash and cash equivalents of $22,106,946 and no debt, and expects to spend about $1,786,000 per month over the next 12 months. Management believes existing cash plus two equity facilities totaling up to $60,000,000 in committed purchase and at-the-market programs can fund operations through October 2026, as it continues heavy investment in research and development of its electro‑optic polymer technology.
Lightwave Logic, Inc. reported that its previously issued financial statements for the quarter ended June 30, 2025 should no longer be relied upon. The audit committee, after consulting with management, found that the company had incorrectly expensed part of the value of net shares issued in non-cash stock option exercises as compensation expense.
The correction reduces non-cash compensation expense by $705,499 and records a corresponding decrease to additional paid-in capital for that quarter, which also decreases the reported net loss for the period. Lightwave Logic plans to file an amended Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2025 to correct the error and update related disclosures, and management has discussed the issue with the company’s independent registered public accounting firm.

Footnotes explain that part of the common stock consists of restricted stock and restricted stock units that vest in quarterly installments over several years, and that portions of the option awards were vested at appointment with the rest vesting quarterly, subject to continued service and potential forfeiture if vesting conditions are not met.
