Analytical Frame

Legal-Financial: Perfection of security interest in all assets of Cyberlux Corporation and Mark D. Schmidt

Analytical Summary

This UCC-1 Financing Statement filed March 20, 2026 with the Nevada Secretary of State establishes a comprehensive security interest by Atlantic Wave Holdings, LLC and Secure Community, LLC over all assets of both Cyberlux Corporation and its CEO Mark D. Schmidt. The collateral description is exceptionally broad, encompassing all present and future assets including inventory, equipment, accounts, intellectual property (with specific mention of drone-related assets), and notably all subsidiaries of Cyberlux Corporation including Catalyst Machineworks, LLC. Both secured parties share the same Richmond, Virginia address (11 S. 12th Street), while both debtors are located at the same Research Triangle Park, North Carolina address. The filing represents a blanket lien structure that captures virtually every asset class and future acquisition, including proceeds and replacements.

CLM-001

Claim

Blanket Security Interest in All Assets

The secured parties claim a comprehensive security interest in all of each debtor's right, title and interest in all assets, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, including inventory, equipment, accounts, intellectual property, and all related proceeds and substitutions.

Page 2 — All of each Debtor's right, title and interest, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, in all of such Debtor's assets, including without limitation (i) any and all inventory (including without limitation relating to drones), equipment, accounts, chattel paper, contractual rights, instruments, letter-of-credit rights, letters of credit, documents, deposit accounts, money, intellectual property (including without limitation relating to drones), general intangibles, accounts receivable and other rights to payment and performance

CLM-002

Claim

In Situ — Quotations, Tells, Tensions, Questions

6 nodes

QUO-001

Quotation

Drone-Related Assets Emphasis

The collateral description specifically emphasizes drone-related assets twice, highlighting inventory and intellectual property relating to drones as key components of the secured assets.

TEN-001

Tension

Individual and Corporate Debtor Structure

The filing names both Mark D. Schmidt individually and Cyberlux Corporation as separate debtors at the same address, creating dual personal and corporate liability for the same secured obligation.

TEN-002

Tension

Two Secured Parties at Same Address

Atlantic Wave Holdings, LLC and Secure Community, LLC both operate from the identical Richmond address and hold security interests in the same collateral, suggesting related party structure but unclear relationship.

QST-001

Question

Relationship Between Secured Parties

What is the corporate relationship between Atlantic Wave Holdings, LLC and Secure Community, LLC? They share the same address and appear as co-secured parties, but the nature of their relationship (parent-subsidiary, affiliates, or separate entities with common ownership) is not specified.

QST-002

Question

Underlying Transaction and Debt Amount

What is the underlying financial transaction, debt amount, or obligation that this UCC-1 filing secures? The filing establishes the security interest but does not disclose the principal amount, loan terms, or nature of the secured obligation.

Page 2 — UCC FINANCING STATEMENT This financing statement covers the following collateral: All of each Debtor's right, title and interest, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, in all of such Debtor's assets

QST-003

Question

Schmidt's Role and Personal Guarantee

What is Mark D. Schmidt's role at Cyberlux Corporation, and why is he named as an individual debtor alongside the corporation? This suggests either a personal guarantee or that he personally owns significant assets being pledged.

Stage 4

Interpretive — Inferences, Omissions, Patterns

5 nodes

INF-001

Inference

Comprehensive Asset Control Structure

The blanket security interest structure, combined with individual debtor inclusion and subsidiary capture, indicates a financing arrangement where the secured parties have positioned themselves to control virtually all assets of the debtor enterprise in the event of default.

Page 2 — All of each Debtor's right, title and interest, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, in all of such Debtor's assets... in the case of Debtor Cyberlux Corporation, all subsidiaries of such Debtor, including without limitation Catalyst Machineworks, LLC

INF-002

Inference

Drone Technology as Core Asset Value

The specific and repeated mention of drone-related inventory and intellectual property in the collateral description suggests that Cyberlux Corporation's primary business value and asset base centers on drone technology, which is the key asset the secured parties are protecting.

INF-003

Inference

Potential Related Party Lender Structure

The fact that two secured parties share the same Richmond address and appear as co-lenders suggests a related party lending structure, possibly a parent company and subsidiary, or entities under common control coordinating the financing.

OMI-001

Omission

No Debt Amount or Terms Disclosed

The UCC-1 filing establishes a blanket security interest but omits any reference to the principal debt amount, interest rate, maturity date, or repayment terms of the underlying obligation, which are not required for UCC filing but would clarify the transaction scope.

Page 2 — UCC FINANCING STATEMENT This financing statement covers the following collateral: All of each Debtor's right, title and interest

OMI-002

Omission

No Explanation of Individual Debtor Role

The filing does not specify Mark D. Schmidt's relationship to Cyberlux Corporation (officer, director, shareholder) or explain why he is named as an individual debtor, though this is typically not required in UCC filings.
