Note 1. Nature of the Organization and Business

Corporate History

Quantum Computing Inc. (“QCi” or the “Company”) was formed in the State of Nevada on July 25, 2001, under its original name, Ticketcart, Inc., which was changed to Innovative Beverage Group Holdings, Inc. in 2009. The Company redomiciled to Delaware on February 22, 2018 and changed its name to Quantum Computing Inc. Effective July 20, 2018, the trading symbol for the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001, on the OTC Market changed from “IBGH” to “QUBT”. On July 15, 2021, the Company uplisted to The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC. On June 16, 2022, the Company merged (the “QPhoton Merger”) with QPhoton, Inc. (“QPhoton”), a developer of quantum photonic systems and related technologies and applications. The QPhoton Merger enabled us to develop hardware applications integrated with the Company’s software platform, Qatalyst, that existed before the QPhoton Merger.

Nature of Business

QCi is an American company utilizing integrated photonics and non-linear quantum optics to develop and deliver machines for quantum computing, reservoir computing, and remote sensing, imaging and cybersecurity applications based on patented and proprietary photonics technology. QCi’s products are designed to operate at room temperature and at very low power levels compared to other quantum systems currently available in the market, such as superconducting, ion-trap, or annealing architectures. Our core photonics technology enables the execution of a go-to-market strategy which emphasizes scalability, accessibility and affordability. Our quantum machines, supported by professional services through our “Quantum Solutions” offering, enable subject matter experts (SMEs) and end users to deliver critical business solutions involving highly complex optimization problems.

The leading application of our quantum offerings today is our Entropy Quantum Computing (“EQC”). Our longer-term product development plan is to migrate the EQC’s current design, as well as other product designs based on discrete components, to a set of TFLN optical integrated circuits built on TFLN wafers.

Liquidity

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the continuity of operations, the realization of assets, and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. We have not achieved a level of sales adequate to support the Company’s cost structure. The Company has historically incurred losses and negative cash flows from operations. During the six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company issued 22.2 million shares of common stock for net proceeds of $281.6 million. As of June 30, 2025, the Company had cash and cash equivalents on hand of $348.8 million, an accumulated deficit of $220.0 million, and working capital of $346.3 million. As a result, the Company has adequate cash and cash equivalents on hand to meet its obligations over the next 12 months.

Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation:

The Company prepares its consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) as determined by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”), including Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 810,Consolidation. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company’s fiscal year end is December 31.

Furthermore, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP for interim financial information and the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, considered necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been included. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2025 or any future period. The unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2024 has been derived from audited consolidated financial statements at that date, but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. The information included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” “Risk Factors,” and the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.

Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications have been made to the fiscal 2024 condensed consolidated financial statements to confirm with the fiscal 2025 presentation. The reclassifications had no impact on net loss, total assets, total liabilities, or mezzanine and stockholders’ equity.

Risk and Uncertainties

The Company is subject to certain risks and uncertainties and believes changes in any of the following areas could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s future consolidated financial position or consolidated results of operations or cash flows: new product development, including market receptivity; litigation or claims against the Company based on intellectual property, patent, product regulation or other factors; competition from other products; general economic conditions; the ability to attract and retain qualified employees; and, ultimately, to sustain profitable operations.

Use of Estimates

These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, which requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Some of the more significant estimates required to be made by management include the valuation of goodwill and intangible assets, deferred tax assets, equity-based transactions and liquidity assessment. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased are considered to be cash equivalents. The Company maintains its cash in mutual funds and deposit and money market accounts with high quality financial institutions which, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company had $348.4 million and $78.9 million, respectively, in cash equivalents invested in mutual funds. The Company has not experienced any losses on these deposits and believes it is not exposed to significant credit risk on cash.

Operating Leases

The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets are included in right-of-use assets, net on the consolidated balance sheets. The current and long-term components of operating lease liabilities are included in the other current liabilities and operating lease liabilities, respectively, on the consolidated balance sheets.

Operating lease ROU assets and operating lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term. As most of the Company’s leases do not provide an implicit rate, and the Company uses an incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the commencement date in determining the present value of future payments. Certain leases may include options to extend or terminate the lease. Lease expense for minimum lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the consolidated balance sheet. All of our leases are comprised of office space leases, and as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company was not party to any finance leases.

Valuation of Goodwill

The Company reviews goodwill for impairment on an annual basis or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable. The Company performs an annual impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. An impairment charge should be recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value; however, the loss recognized should not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. In addition, income tax effects from any tax-deductible goodwill carrying amount of the reporting unit should be considered when measuring the goodwill impairment loss, if applicable. The Company has determined that it has a single reporting unit for purposes of performing its goodwill impairment test. As the Company uses the market approach to assess impairment, its common stock price is an important component of the fair value calculation. If the Company’s stock price continues to experience significant price and volume fluctuations, this will impact the fair value of the reporting unit and can lead to potential impairment in future periods. The Company performs its annual impairment test during the fourth quarter of each fiscal year. As of June 30, 2025, we had not identified any factors that indicated there was an impairment of our goodwill and determined that no additional impairment analysis was then required.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost or contributed value. Depreciation of furniture, software and equipment is calculated using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives, and leasehold improvements are amortized on a straight-line basis over the shorter of their estimated useful lives or the lease term. The cost and related accumulated depreciation of equipment retired or sold are removed from the accounts and any differences between the undepreciated amount and the proceeds from the sale are recorded as a gain or loss on sale of equipment. Maintenance and repair costs are expensed as incurred.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

The Company has long-lived assets such as tangible property and equipment, identified intangible assets consisting of acquired patents and core technology. When events or changes in circumstances occur that could indicate the carrying value of long-lived assets may not be recoverable, the Company assesses recoverability by determining whether the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the carrying amounts of those assets. If the undiscounted cash flow is less, an impairment charge is recognized for the excess of the carrying amounts of these assets over the fair values. Fair values are determined by discounted future cash flows, appraisals or other methods.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company did not record any impairment related to long-lived assets.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The carrying amount of certain financial instruments held by the Company, such as accounts receivable, contract assets and liabilities, accounts payable, and accrued and other current liabilities, approximate fair value due to their short maturities. The carrying amount of the liabilities for the convertible preferred stock warrants represent their fair value. The carrying amounts of the Company’s borrowings and lease liabilities approximate fair value due to the market interest rates that these obligations bear and interest rates currently available to the Company.

Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or an exit price paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The fair value hierarchy defines a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosure of fair value measurements as follows:

The categorization of a financial instrument within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company’s cash and cash equivalents of $348.4 million and $78.9 million, respectively, were in Level 1 assets, comprised of U.S. Government mutual funds. The Company had $24.6 million and $40.5 million as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, in Level 3 liabilities, which are comprised of derivative liabilities. See Note 9,Capital Stock – Warrants, for a full discussion of the warrant liability.

Research and Development Costs

Research and development costs include costs directly attributable to the conduct of research and development programs, including the cost of services provided by outside contractors, acquiring work-in-progress intellectual property, development, and mandatory compliance fees and contractual obligations. All costs associated with research and development are expensed as incurred.

Income Taxes

The Company uses the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Deferred tax expense or benefit is the result of changes in the deferred tax assets and liabilities. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets where, based upon the available evidence, management concludes that it is more-likely-than-not that the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Realization of deferred tax assets is also dependent upon future earnings, if any, the timing and amount of which are uncertain.

The Company records a liability for the uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken on the Company’s tax return when it is more-likely-than-not that the tax position might be challenged despite the Company’s belief that the tax return positions are fully supportable, and additional taxes will be due as a result. To the extent that the assessment of such tax positions changes, for example, based on the outcome of a tax audit, the change in estimate is recorded in the period in which the determination is made. The provision for income taxes includes the impact of provisions for uncertain tax positions.

Net Loss Per Share

Basic net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per common share includes the potential dilutive effect of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the common share equivalents had been issued (computed using the “If-Converted” method), unless the effect of such issuances would have been anti-dilutive. Because the impact of these items is generally anti-dilutive during periods of net loss, there is no difference between basic and diluted loss per common share for periods with net losses.

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted loss per share (in thousands, except per share data):

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, all outstanding warrants, options and unvested restricted common stock were not included in the dilutive net loss per common share calculation as including them would have been anti-dilutive.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the FASB or other standard setting bodies that are adopted by the Company as of the specified effective date. Unless otherwise discussed, we believe that the impact of recently issued standards that are not yet effective will not have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations upon adoption.

On December 14, 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. Under ASU 2023-09, entities are required to uniformly classify and present greater disaggregation of information in the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid. ASU 2023-09 is intended to benefit users of the consolidated financial statements by improving transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures. The new standard is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024 for public companies. The Company adopted ASU 2023-09 as of January 1, 2025. The standard did not have a material effect on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03,Income Statement – Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses (“ASU 2024-03”), which requires public entities to provide disaggregated disclosures of certain expense captions presented on the face of the income statement into specific categories within the notes to the consolidated financial statements. ASU 2024-03 is effective for the Company’s annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The ASU may be applied either on a prospective or retrospective basis. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2024-03 on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

On July 30, 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-05,Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets, which amends ASC 326-20 to provide a practical expedient (for all entities) and an accounting policy election (for all entities, other than public business entities, that elect the practical expedient) related to the estimation of expected credit losses for current accounts receivable and current contract assets that arise from transactions accounted for under ASC 606. The standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2025, including interim periods, and allows for early adoption. The Company is currently evaluating the impact on its financial statements and related disclosures.

Other recent authoritative guidance issued by the FASB (including technical corrections to the ASC) and the SEC did not or are not expected to have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

Note 3. Segment Reporting

Our Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”), the Chief Executive Officer, manages the Company’s business activities as a single operating and reportable segment at the consolidated level. Accordingly, our CODM uses condensed consolidated net (loss) income to measure segment profit or loss, allocate resources and assess performance. Further, the CODM reviews and utilizes natural expenses, such as employee wages and benefits at a consolidated level, to manage the Company’s operations and strategic growth initiatives. The following table presents segment information of revenue, significant expenses and net loss (in thousands):

Note 4. Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected tax consequences of temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to amounts that are more likely than not to be realized. As of June 30, 2025, the Company has a valuation allowance against all of its net deferred tax assets.

The total effective tax rate was approximately 0% for each of the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024.

For each of the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company’s effective tax rate differed from the federal statutory rate of 21%, primarily due to the valuation allowance placed against its net deferred tax assets.

The Company did not pay any state tax during the three months and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024.

Loss carryovers are generally subject to modification by tax authorities until three years after they have been utilized; as such, the Company is subject to examination for the fiscal years ended 2018 through present.

Uncertain Tax Positions

The Company recognizes the financial statement effects of a tax position when it becomes more likely than not, based upon the technical merits, that the position will be sustained upon examination. The Company currently has approximately $264 thousand of uncertain tax positions as of June 30, 2025, all of which are related to R&D tax credits and are accounted as contra-deferred tax assets. The Company does not expect any significant changes to its uncertain tax positions in the coming 12 months.

Note 5. Intangible Assets, net

As a result of the QPhoton Merger, the Company has the following amounts related to intangible assets (in thousands):

The Company recorded amortization expense of the Company’s intangible assets of $686 thousand and $776 thousand during the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and $1,462 thousand and $1,552 thousand during the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The Company expects future amortization expense to be the following (in thousands):

Note 6. Property and Equipment, net

The Company’s property and equipment are primarily located at the Company’s leased facilities in Hoboken, NJ and Tempe, AZ and consist of (in thousands):

The Company recorded depreciation expense of $202 thousand and $71 thousand during the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and $400 thousand and $139 thousand during the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, using useful lives of the Company’s long-lived assets as follows:

Maintenance and repairs are charged to operations when incurred. When property and equipment are sold or otherwise disposed, the asset account and related accumulated depreciation and amortization accounts are relieved, and any gain or loss is included in other income or expense. There were no significant gains or losses in the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 or 2024.

Note 7. Operating Leases

As of June 30, 2025, the Company has use of space in three different locations, Hoboken, NJ, Tempe, AZ, and Arlington, VA, under lease or membership agreements, which expire at various dates through November 30, 2028. The Company’s leases do not provide an implicit rate, and the rates implicit in our leases are not readily determinable. Therefore, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate when measuring operating lease assets and liabilities. The incremental borrowing rate represents an estimate of the interest rate the Company would incur at lease commencement to borrow an amount equal to the lease payments on a collateralized basis over the term of a lease. The Company’s leases all contain options to extend or renew the lease or membership term.

The table below reconciles the undiscounted future minimum lease payments under these operating leases to the total operating lease liabilities recognized on the consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2025 (in thousands):

The Company’s operating lease commitments as of June 30, 2025 are as follows (in thousands):

Other information related to operating lease liabilities consists of the following (in thousands):

Note 8. Commitments and Contingencies

Indemnification Arrangements

We enter into standard indemnification arrangements in our ordinary course of business. Pursuant to these arrangements, we indemnify, hold harmless, and agree to reimburse the indemnified parties for losses suffered or incurred by the indemnified parties (generally our business partners or customers) in connection with any trade secret, copyright, patent or other intellectual property infringement claim by any third-party with respect to our products. The term of these indemnification agreements is generally perpetual any time after the execution of the agreement. The maximum potential amount of future payments we could be required to make under these agreements is not determinable. We have never incurred costs to defend lawsuits or settle claims related to these indemnification agreements. As a result, we believe the estimated fair value of these agreements is minimal.

We have entered into indemnification agreements with our directors and officers that may require us to indemnify our directors and officers against liabilities that may arise by reason of their status or service as directors or officers, other than liabilities arising from willful misconduct of a culpable nature. These agreements also require us to advance their expenses incurred as a result of any proceeding against them as to which they could be indemnified and to make good faith determination whether or not it is practicable for us to obtain directors and officers insurance. We currently have directors and officers liability insurance.

Legal Proceedings

From time to time, we may be involved in legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. In general, management believes that ordinary course of business matters will not have a material adverse effect on our condensed consolidated financial position or results of operations and are adequately covered by our liability insurance. However, it is possible that condensed consolidated cash flows or results of operations could be materially affected in any particular period by the unfavorable resolution of one of more of these contingencies or because of the diversion of management’s attention and the incurrence of significant expenses.

See Part II, Item 1,Legal Proceedings, in this Form 10-Q for additional details on the status of motions in the following proceedings.

BV Advisory v. QCi Breach Lawsuit

At the time of the QPhoton Merger in June 2022, QPhoton had an outstanding balance of principal and interest due to BV Advisory Partners LLC (“BV Advisory”) based on a note purchase agreement that QPhoton had entered into with BV Advisory on March 1, 2021 (the “BV Note Purchase Agreement”). Accordingly, the Company has recorded an estimated payable, recognized as other current liabilities on the condensed consolidated financial statements, based on best available information in the amount of $536 thousand as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.

On August 16, 2022, BV Advisory filed a complaint in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware naming QPhoton, the Company and certain of the Company’s directors and officers (among others) as defendants seeking, among other relief, monetary damages for an alleged breach of the BV Note Purchase Agreement. During the year ended December 31, 2024, BV Advisory’s other claims were dismissed by the Delaware Chancery Court and BV Advisory transferred its claim for breach of the BV Note Purchase Agreement to the Delaware Superior Court. On July 17, 2025, the Company, Keith Barksdale (“Barksdale” the managing member of BV Advisory), and BV Advisory entered into a settlement agreement (the “Settlement Agreement”) pursuant to which BV Advisory, dismissed its claims under the BV Note Purchase Agreement with prejudice. The terms of the settlement agreement are summarized in Note 13.

BV Advisory v. QCi Appraisal Action

BV Advisory was a shareholder of QPhoton, Inc., the predecessor in interest to QPhoton, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (both referred to as “QPhoton” in this Legal Proceedings discussion). BV Advisory rejected the Merger Consideration (as defined below) and on October 13, 2022 filed a petition in the Delaware Chancery Court seeking appraisal of the shares of QPhoton it owned (which shares represented 10% of the shares of QPhoton outstanding immediately prior to the Company’s acquisition of QPhoton). The Company included BV Advisory’s ownership of QPhoton in the purchase price accounting for the QPhoton Merger.

The Company’s total purchase price of QPhoton was approximately $71.0 million, or $69.9 million net of cash acquired, consisting of Company common stock, Series B Preferred Stock and the QPhoton Warrants (as defined below). While the total shares of the Company’s common stock on an as-converted basis offered in the QPhoton Merger was 36,600,823 (the “Merger Consideration”), the fair market valuation contemplated 31,299,417 of the shares, which assumed full conversion of the 2,377,028 shares of Series B Preferred Stock to common stock at the 10:1 ratio, and that only 1,726,931 of the warrants to purchase up to 7,028,337 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “QPhoton Warrants”) would eventually be exercised (specifically only the QPhoton Warrants for which the associated Company options and/or warrants had an exercise price at or below $2.27 at the time of the QPhoton Merger).

Accordingly, as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company had neither issued 2,957,251 shares of the Company’s common stock on an as converted basis (the “Unissued QPhoton Shares”) nor 702,834 warrants to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Unissued QPhoton Warrants”) that were included in the Merger Consideration. The shares of common stock underlying the Unissued QPhoton Warrants are included in the condensed consolidated statement of stockholder’s equity as additional paid in capital as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, and the Unissued QPhoton Warrants have a carrying value of $24.6 million and $40.5 million, respectively, as a liability on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024. Pursuant to the Settlement Agreement, the Company agreed to issue to Barksdale or his designees 1.9 million shares of the Company’s common stock and BV Advisory dismissed its claims under the appraisal action with prejudice. The terms of the settlement agreement are summarized in Note 13.

Note 9. Capital Stock

Authorized Classes of Stock

As of June 30, 2025, the Company’s Board of Directors has authorized two classes of preferred stock. The Board has authorized 1,550,000 shares of preferred stock as Series A preferred stock, par value $0.0001 per share, none of which are issued and outstanding as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024. The Board has also authorized 3,079,864 shares of preferred stock as Series B preferred stock, par value $0.0001 per share, none of which are issued and outstanding as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

Series A Convertible Preferred Offering

From November 10, 2021 through November 17, 2021, the Company conducted a private placement offering (the “Private Placement”) pursuant to securities purchase agreements (the “Preferred Stock SPAs”) with 7 accredited investors (the “Series A Investors”), whereby the Series A Investors purchased from the Company an aggregate of 1,545,459 shares of the Company’s newly created Series A convertible preferred stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Series A Preferred Stock”) and warrants to purchase 1,545,459 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Preferred Warrants”) for an aggregate purchase price of $8.5 million. The Private Placement was completed and closed to further investment on November 17, 2021.

The Preferred Warrants weretwo-year warrants to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $7.00 per share, subject to adjustment, and as of December 31, 2023, all of the Preferred Warrants had expired unexercised.

In connection with the Preferred Stock SPAs, the Company and the Series A Investors entered into a registration rights agreement pursuant to which on April 27, 2022 the Company filed a Registration Statement on Form S-3 to register the resale of the shares of common stock. The SEC declared the Form S-3 effective on June 2, 2022.

On March 19, 2024, the Company entered into a Redemption and Waiver Agreement (the “Series A Redemption Agreement”) with the current holders (the “Series A Holders”) of the Series A Preferred Stock. Accordingly, $8.195 million of additional paid in capital was reclassified from shareholders’ equity to mezzanine equity (the “Mezzanine Equity”) on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2024, in accordance with Accounting Series Release No. 268,Presentation in Financial Statements of “Redeemable Preferred Stocks”. The Mezzanine Equity is valued at the date of the Private Placement issuance. Pursuant to the Series A Redemption Agreement, the Company agreed to redeem all outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock for an aggregate cash purchase price of$8,195,000, or $5.50 per share, at its sole discretion, in 18 monthly payments. In addition, the Series A Holders agreed to waive, on a month-by-month basis following each monthly payment, certain rights granted to them in (i) the Certificate of Designations of the Series A Preferred Stock, including for the accrual and payment of accrued and future dividends; and (ii) the Preferred Stock SPA. As of December 31, 2024 and June 30, 2025, there wereno shares of Series A Preferred Stock outstanding. During the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company redeemed 248,349 shares of Series A Preferred Stock for approximately $1.4 million, in cash paid to the Series A Holders.

At-the-Market-Facility

On October 28, 2022, the Company filed a shelf registration statement on Form S-3 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, which the SEC declared effective on November 8, 2022 (the “2022 shelf”). Under the 2022 Shelf at the time of effectiveness, the Company had the ability to raise up to $100 million by selling common stock, preferred stock, debt securities, warrants and units. On December 5, 2022, the Company entered into an At-the-Market Issuance Sales Agreement (the “ATM Agreement”) with Ascendiant Capital Markets, LLC (“Ascendiant”) whereby the Company may, but is not obligated to, offer and sell, from time to time, shares of its common stock (the “ATM Facility”), and incorporated the ATM Agreement into the 2022 Shelf by amendment that the SEC declared effective January 10, 2023. On August 17, 2023, the Company and Ascendiant entered into an amendment to the ATM Agreement, increasing the amount of common stock that the Company could offer and sell via the ATM Facility from $25 million to $50 million (the “ATM Upsize”). Following the ATM Upsize, the Company filed a prospectus supplement, dated August 18, 2023, with the SEC and became able to offer and sell shares of the Company’s common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $27,362,717 via the ATM Facility.

The Company did not sell any shares through the ATM Facility for the six months ended June 30, 2025. During the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company sold 16,604,770 shares of the Company’s common stock through the ATM Facility at an average price of $0.88, from which the Company received net proceeds of $14.6 million.

Private Placement Offering

Warrants

The table below summarizes the warrants outstanding at June 30, 2025 (in thousands, except exercise price data):

In connection with a restricted stock units offering in June 2020, the Company issued warrants in August 2020 to purchase 171,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, at an exercise price of $2.00 per share. Those warrants are exercisable forfive years from the date of issuance.

On June 16, 2022, the Company issued 6.3 million QPhoton Warrants to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $0.0001 per share. Those warrants are exercisable when and if stock options and warrants issued by the Company and outstanding as of June 15, 2022 (the “Underlying Options”) are exercised. As of June 30, 2025, the Company expects 1.3 million (the “In-the-Money QPhoton Warrants) of the 1.3 million outstanding QPhoton Warrants are to be exercised as the exercise prices of the Underlying Options associated with the In-the-Money QPhoton Warrants are below the closing of the Company’s bid stock price of $19.17 per share as of June 30, 2025. The 6.3 million issued warrants represent a portion of the 7.0 million QPhoton Warrants, having been received by two former QPhoton shareholders. A third shareholder rejected the Merger Consideration and commenced litigation, and as of June 30, 2025 that litigation has not been resolved and the associated 702,834 warrants have not been issued, of which 457,926 would have been canceled to date due to forfeitures of Underlying Options. See Part I, Item 3, Legal Proceedings, for additional information on the status of the litigation.

As of June 30, 2025, of the 6.3 million QPhoton Warrants issued, approximately 65% have been forfeited because the corresponding Underlying Options had expired or been forfeited. Further, as discussed in Note 2, Significant Accounting Policies – Fair Value of Financial Instruments, the QPhoton Warrants are considered Level 3 liabilities for fair value measurement on the valuation hierarchy. In determining the fair market value of the QPhoton Warrants, the Company determines which underlying options and warrants are in-the-money or out-of-the-money at period end by comparing to the bid price of the Company’s common stock and then accounting for changes period-over-period by realizing a mark-to-market gain or loss for the period. Due to the difference between the exercise price and the market value of the Company’s common stock as of the balance sheet dates and the probability of the underlying options and warrants being exercised are the only significant inputs in the valuation of the warrant liability. The market value of the Company’s stock was $19.17 per share and $16.55 per share as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively (the “Balance Sheet Date Stock Prices”), and the probability of exercise was determined based on whether the exercise price of the underlying options and warrants was above or below the Balance Sheet Date Stock Prices, resulting in the QPhoton Warrants being out-of-the-money or in-the-money, respectively. Accordingly, the Company recognized a mark-to-market loss of $28.1 million, and $4.5 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively. In addition, due to the exercise of QPhoton warrants, $20.4 million of the derivative liability was reclassified to additional paid-in capital during the quarter ended June 30, 2025. No mark-to-market gain or loss was recorded during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024. As of June 30, 2025, the QPhoton Warrants have a carrying value of $24.6 million as a liability on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet.
