Note1 — The Company and Basis of Presentation
QuickLogic Corporation ("QuickLogic" or the "Company") was founded in1988 and reincorporated in Delaware in1999. The Company provides innovative programmable silicon and software platforms to enable its customers to develop custom hardware products in a fast time-to-market and cost-effective way. Specifically, QuickLogic is a fabless semiconductor company with a variety of products: embedded FPGA ("eFPGA") intellectual property ("IP"), low power, multi-core semiconductor system-on-chips ("SoCs"), and discrete FPGAs. QuickLogic's customers can use its eFPGA IP for hardware acceleration and pre-processing in their Application Specific Integrated Circuit ("ASIC") products, the Company's SoCs to run its customers' software and build their hardware around, and the Company's discrete FPGAs to implement their custom functionality. The full range of products, software tools, and eFPGA IP enables the practical and efficient programmability for the Company's customers across Aerospace and Defense, Consumer/Industrial IoT, and Consumer Electronics markets.
As of* March 30, 2025,the Company has discontinued operations at its wholly-owned subsidiary, SensiML Corporation ("SensiML"), and is actively exploring options for the possible sale of SensiML or its assets.

Liquidity
The Company has financed its operations and capital investments through the sale of common stock, financing arrangements, operating leases, a revolving line of credit with Heritage Bank (the "Revolving Facility"), and cash flows from operations. As of* March 30, 2025*, the Company's principal sources of liquidity consisted of cash and cash equivalents from continuing operations of $17.5 million, inclusive of a $15.0 million advance from its Revolving Facility and $2.7 million in net proceeds from the Company's sale of common stock in thethree months ended* March 30, 2025*.
The Company was in compliance with all the Revolving Facility loan covenants as of* March 30, 2025*. As of* March 30, 2025*, the Company had $15.0 million outstanding on the Revolving Facility with an interest rate of 8.00%. On* March 14, 2025,the Company entered into the Eighth Amendment (the "Eighth Amendment") to their Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement (as amended, the "Loan Agreement") dated December 21, 2018,with Heritage Bank of Commerce. The Eight Amendment, which became effective on March 17, 2025,amends the Loan Agreement to, among other things, extend the loan maturity date forone* year through* December 31, 2026.*
On* March 6, 2025*, the Company entered into Common Stock Purchase Agreements with certain institutional investors for the sale of an aggregate of 256 thousand shares of common stock, par value $0.001, in a registered direct offering, resulting in net cash proceeds of approximately $1.5 million. Issuance costs related to the offering were $20 thousand. The purchase price for each share of common stock was $5.93. See Note10 for additional information.
On* February 25, 2025,the Company entered into an At Market Issuance Sales Agreement (the "Sales Agreement") with Needham & Company, LLC (the "Agent"), pursuant to which the Company mayoffer and sell, from time to time, through the Agent, as sales agent, shares of the Company's common stock, par value $0.001 per share, having an aggregate offering price of up to $20,000,000 (the "ATM Offering"). As of March 30, 2025,the Company sold 182 thousand shares under the ATM offering, resulting in net cash proceeds of approximately $1.2 million. Issuance costs related to the ATM Offering were $89 thousand. See Note10* for additional information.
On* March 13, 2024,the Company entered into Common Stock Purchase Agreements with certain institutional investors and their affiliated entities for the sale of an aggregate of 223 thousand shares of common stock, par value $0.001, in a registered direct offering, resulting in net cash proceeds of approximately $3.5 million. Issuance costs related to the offering were $24 thousand. The purchase price for each share of common stock was $16.00. See Note10* for additional information.
On* April 28, 2023*, the Company converted accounts receivable for a customer in the amount of approximately $1.16 million to notes receivable (the "Original Note"). At the time, the Original Note bore an interest rate of 3.0% compounded monthly. On* June 28, 2023*, the Company cancelled the Original Note and entered into a revised promissory note ("Second Revised Note") with the customer, where the interest rate changed to 4.69% compounded monthly, or a 4.8% effective annual interest rate, accruing from the date of the Original Note. On* June 27, 2024*, the Company cancelled the Second Revised Note and entered into a revised promissory note ("Current Note") with the customer, where the interest rate changed to 10.0% per annum. Accrued but unpaid interest will be compounded monthly, accruing from the date of the Current Note. Additionally, ifnot prepaid prior to the Current Note maturity date of the earlier of (i)24 months from* June 28, 2024or (ii) the closing of the customer's Series B financing, the principal and all accrued and unpaid interest will be due and payable to the Company. If an event of default occurs, the interest rate will increase to 15.31%. All other terms of the Note remained the same. As of March 30, 2025*, the related note receivable balance was $1.32 million, including $160 thousand in accrued interest.

The Company currently uses its cash to fund its working capital, to accelerate the development of next generation products, and for general corporate purposes. Based on past performance and current expectations, the Company believes that its existing cash and cash equivalents, together with $2.8 million gross cash proceeds from the* March 6, 2025* direct offering and* February 25, 2025ATM Offering, its revenues from operations, and the available financial resources from the Revolving Facility with Heritage Bank will be sufficient to fund its operations and capital expenditures and provide adequate working capital for the nexttwelve* months.
Various factors affect the Company’s liquidity, including, among others: the level of revenue and gross profit as a result of the cyclicality of the semiconductor industry; the conversion of design opportunities into revenue; market acceptance of existing and new products including solutions based on the Company's ArcticLink® and PolarPro® platforms, ArcticPro™, EOSS3 SoC, Quick AI solution, QuickAI™, Eclipse II products, and eFPGA IP license and professional services; the timing, milestones, and payments related to our government contracts; fluctuations in revenue as a result of product end-of-life; fluctuations in revenue as a result of the stage in the product life cycle of its customers’ products; costs of securing access to and availability of adequate manufacturing capacity; levels of inventories; wafer purchase commitments; customer credit terms; the amount and timing of research and development expenditures; the timing of new product introductions; production volumes; product quality; sales and marketing efforts; the value and liquidity of its investment portfolio; changes in operating assets and liabilities; the ability to obtain or renew debt financing and to remain in compliance with the terms of existing credit facilities; the ability to raise funds from the sale of equity in the Company; the issuance and exercise of stock options and participation in the Company’s employee stock purchase plan; and other factors related to the uncertainties of the industry and global economics.
Over the longer term, the Company anticipates that sales generated from its new product offerings, existing cash and cash equivalents, together with financial resources from its Revolving Facility with Heritage Bank, assuming renewal of the Revolving Facility or the Company entering into a new debt agreement with an alternative lender prior to the expiration of the revolving line of credit on* December 31, 2026*, and its ability to raise additional capital in the public capital markets will be sufficient to satisfy its operations and capital expenditures. However, the Company cannot provide any assurance that it will be able to raise additional capital, if required, or that such capital will be available on terms acceptable to the Company. The inability of the Company to generate sufficient sales from its new product offerings and/or raise additional capital if needed could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s operations and financial condition, including its ability to maintain compliance with its lender’s financial covenants.
Principles of Consolidation
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, in the United States of America or ("US GAAP"), and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), and include the accounts of QuickLogic and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Foreign Currency
The functional currency of the Company's non-U.S. operations is the U.S. dollar. Accordingly, all monetary assets and liabilities of these foreign operations are translated into U.S. dollars at current period-end exchange rates and non-monetary assets and related elements of expense are translated using historical exchange rates. Income and expense elements are translated to U.S. dollars using the average exchange rates in effect during the period. Gains and losses from the foreign currency transactions of these subsidiaries are recorded as interest income and other expense, net in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations, and are insignificant for all periods presented.
Uses of Estimates
The preparation of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosures of commitments and contingencies at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods.
The methods, estimates, and judgments the Company uses in applying its most critical accounting policies have a significant impact on the results it reports in its consolidated financial statements. The SEC has defined critical accounting policies as those that are most important to the portrayal of the Company's financial condition and results of operations and requires it to make its most difficult and subjective judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates of matters that are inherently uncertain.
Although these estimates are based on the Company’s knowledge of current events and actions it* mayundertake in the future, actual results mayultimately materially differ from these estimates and assumptions. Areas where management uses subjective judgment include, but arenot* limited to, revenue recognition, inventory valuation, including the identification of excess quantities, market value, and obsolescence, and valuation of goodwill and long-lived and intangible assets. The Company believes that it applies judgments and estimates in a consistent manner and that such consistent application results in consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes that fairly represent all periods presented. However, any factual errors or errors in these judgments and estimates* mayhave a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements. For additional information, please refer to the Company's most recent Annual Report on Form10*-K, which was filed with the SEC on* March 26, 2025*.

Concentration of Risk
The Company's accounts receivable and note receivable are denominated in U.S. dollars and are derived primarily from sales to customers located in North America, Asia Pacific, and Europe. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and doesnot require collateral. See Note13, Information Concerning Segments, Product Lines, Geographic Information, Accounts Receivable, and Revenue Concentration, for information regarding concentrations associated with accounts receivable.
As of* March 30, 2025* and* December 29, 2024*, the Company had $15.0 million and $18.0 million, respectively, of revolving debt outstanding with Heritage Bank; the revolving debt carried an interest rate of 8.00% per annum. Heritage Bank has afirst priority security interest in substantially all of the Company's tangible and intangible assets to secure any outstanding amounts under the agreement. The Company was in compliance with all loan covenants under the agreement as of the end of the current reporting period. The maturity date for advances under the revolving debt agreement is* December 31, 2026*. At* March 30, 2025*, the Company had utilized a significant portion of the revolving debt, and as a result, it maintains a substantial amount of cash deposits with Heritage Bank. The concentration of cash withone financial institution poses certain risks.
For instance, adverse developments affecting financial institutions, companies in the financial services industry, or the financial services industry, such as actual events or concerns involving liquidity, defaults, or non-performance, could adversely impact the stability of Heritage Bank, leading to additional financial risks for the Company.
Any material decline in available funding or the Company's ability to access its cash, cash equivalents, and liquidity resources, inclusive of those at Heritage Bank, could adversely impact its ability to meet its operating expenses, financial and contractual obligations, or result in breaches of its contractual obligations. Any of these impacts could have material adverse impacts on the Company's operations and liquidity.

Note4 — Net Income (Loss) Per Share
Basic net income (loss) per share was computed by dividing net income (loss) available by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income (loss) per share was computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period plus potentially dilutive common shares outstanding during the period under the treasury stock method. In computing diluted net income (loss) per share, the weighted average stock price for the period is used in determining the number of shares assumed to be purchased from the exercise of stock options and warrants. For periods in which the Company has reported a net loss, diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders is the same as basic net loss per share attributable to common stockholders as dilutive common shares arenot assumed to have been issued if their effect is anti-dilutive. For periods in which the Company has reported a net income, diluted net income per share attributable to common stockholders is different from basic net income per share attributable to common stockholders as dilutive common shares would increase the amount of shares outstanding reduced by the amounts of treasury shares repurchased from the proceeds at the average market price for the period.
For thethree months ended* March 30, 2025*,676 thousand shares of common stock associated with equity awards and the estimated number of shares to be purchased under the current offering period of the2009 Employee Stock Purchase Plan were outstanding. These shares werenot included in the computation of diluted net loss per share, as they were considered anti-dilutive due to the net losses the Company experienced during this period.
For thethree months ended* March 31, 2024*,746 thousand shares of common stock associated with equity awards and the estimated number of shares to be purchased under the current offering period of the2009 Employee Stock Purchase Plan were outstanding. Of these, a 372 thousand share equivalent was determined to be dilutive and included in the computation of diluted net income per share for the period. Estimated proceeds for the dilutive shares were determined to be $59 thousand, which resulted in a reduction of dilutive shares by 4,127 using the treasury stock method at an average market price of $14.39.
