As of March 31, 2025, the Company had 23,889,364 warrants outstanding that were exercisable for cash at an exercise price of $2.30 per share, and an additional 4,383,558 warrants outstanding that would become exercisable for cash on May 22, 2025 with an exercise price of $0.672 per share. On February 26, 2025, the Company issued a warrant to purchase 61,000,000 shares of common stock to Lynrock Lake and a warrant to purchase 15,000,000 shares of common stock to YA II PN, Ltd. which are exercisable on a "cashless basis" with an exercise price of $0.40 per share as part of the $10.1 million term loan received from Lynrock Lake and cancellation of debt with YA II PN, Ltd. The exercise of any of these warrants would result in the issuance of shares which could then be sold.
Current report

The Lynrock Lake Warrant is exercisable until February 26, 2035. Lynrock Lake may cashless exercise the Lynrock Lake Warrant. The Lynrock Lake Warrant is also subject to anti-dilution adjustments to the exercise price and the number of shares which may be purchased upon exercise of the Lynrock Lake Warrant in the event that the Company issues shares of common stock (or derivative securities) at a price that is either less than the $0.40 exercise price or the fair market value of a share of common stock from the immediately prior trading day. As of March 31, 2025, the Lynrock Lake Warrant to purchase 61,000,000 shares of common stock was outstanding.On February 26, 2025, the Company issued to Yorkville a warrant to purchase 15,000,000 shares of its common stock at an exercise price of $0.40 per share pursuant to the Yorkville Warrant.

•future financial performance following the business combination;
Previous report
On November 12, 2024, the closing price of the common stock was $0.478 per share. The initial public offering price of our units was $10.00 per unit, with each unit consisting of one share of common stock and one warrant to purchase one share of common stock at an exercise price of $11.50 per share, which has now been adjusted to $2.30 per share.
Previous report
Effective as of November 15, 2023, we entered into the SEPA with Yorkville, pursuant to which Yorkville has committed to purchase up to $50,000,000 of shares of common stock, subject to certain limitations and conditions set forth in the SEPA. The common stock that may be issued under the SEPA may be sold by us to Yorkville at our discretion from time to time.
Previous report
We generally have the right to control the timing and amount of any sales of our Common Stock to Yorkville under the SEPA. Sales of the common stock, if any, to Yorkville under the SEPA will depend upon market conditions and other factors to be determined by us. We may ultimately decide to sell to Yorkville all, some or none of the common stock that may be available for us to sell to Yorkville pursuant to the SEPA.
Previous report
Because the purchase price per share to be paid by Yorkville for the common stock that we may elect to sell to Yorkville under the SEPA, if any, will fluctuate based on the market prices of the common stock prior to each Advance made pursuant to the SEPA, if any, it is not possible for us to predict, as of the date of this Quarterly Report and prior to any such sales, the number of shares of the common stock that we will sell to Yorkville under the SEPA, the purchase price per share that Yorkville will pay for shares purchased from us under the SEPA, or the aggregate gross proceeds that we will receive from those purchases by Yorkville under the SEPA, if any. Under the terms of the SEPA and the Yorkville Note, the floor price, representing the lowest price at which shares may be issued to Yorkville upon conversion of the Yorkville Note, was initially the volume-weighted average price of the common stock for the five trading days immediately prior to the effectiveness of the Registration Statement on Form S-1 that we filed to register the shares to be issued pursuant to the SEPA, which effectiveness occurred on May 22, 2024, or $0.8768 per share. Pursuant to the terms of the Second Amendment, we elected to reduce the floor price to $0.50 per share, effective as of the date of the Second Amendment. As of November 12, 2024, Yorkville has converted $254,593 of outstanding principal under the Yorkville Note into 384,059 shares of common stock with an applicable conversion price of $0.6629 per share.
Previous report
Moreover, although the SEPA provides that we may sell up to an aggregate of $50,000,000 of shares of common stock to Yorkville, only 25,375,000 shares of common stock are currently registered for resale. If we elect to sell to Yorkville all of the 25,375,000 shares of the common stock being currently registered for resale, depending on the market price of the common stock prior to each advance made pursuant to SEPA, the actual gross proceeds from the sale of all such shares may be substantially less than the $50,000,000 available to us under the SEPA, which could materially adversely affect our liquidity.
Previous report
If it becomes necessary for us to issue and sell to Yorkville under the SEPA more than the 25,375,000 shares of the common stock currently registered for resale in order to receive aggregate gross proceeds equal to $50,000,000 under the SEPA, we must file with the SEC one or more additional registration statements to register under the Securities Act the resale by Yorkville of any such additional shares of the common stock we wish to sell from time to time under the SEPA, which the SEC must declare effective. Any issuance and sale by us under the SEPA of the common stock in addition to the 25,375,000 shares of the common stock being registered for resale by Yorkville could cause additional dilution to our stockholders.
Previous report
We are not required or permitted to issue any shares of common stock under the SEPA if such issuance would breach our obligations under the rules or regulations of Nasdaq. In addition, Yorkville will not be required to purchase any shares of common stock if such sale would result in Yorkville’s beneficial ownership exceeding 4.99% of the then issued and outstanding common stock. Our inability to access a part or all of the amount available under the SEPA, in the absence of any other financing sources, could have a material adverse effect on our business.
Previous report
If we do not file and maintain a current and effective prospectus relating to the common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants, holders will only be able to exercise such warrants on a “cashless basis.”
Previous report
Following the declaration by the SEC of our registration statement on Form S-1 on May 22, 2024, we filed a prospectus relating to the common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants. If we do not file and maintain a current and effective prospectus relating to the common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants at the time that holders wish to exercise such warrants, they will only be able to exercise them on a “cashless basis” provided that an exemption from registration is available. As a result, the number of shares of common stock that holders will receive upon exercise of the warrants will be fewer than it would have been had such holder exercised its warrant for cash. Further, if an exemption from registration is not available, holders would not be able to exercise on a cashless basis and would only be able to exercise their warrants for cash if a current and effective prospectus relating to the common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants is available. Under the terms of the Warrant Agreement, dated as of September 23, 2021, between GigCapital5 and the Transfer Agent (the “Warrant Agreement”), we have agreed to use our best efforts to meet these conditions and to file and maintain a current and effective prospectus relating to the common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants until the expiration of the warrants. However, we cannot assure you that we will be able to do so. If we are unable to do so, the potential “upside” of the holder’s investment in us may be reduced or the warrants may expire worthless.

Furthermore, even if our technology and product become commercially viable and deployed at scale, we may not generate sufficient revenue necessary to support our business. We estimate that effectively stimulating market interest in our QT Breast Scanner will require deploying at least 10 devices in clinical use. We may never achieve these thresholds for devices deployed in the near-to-mid-term at any level or at all, which may cause our business to fail. The medical imaging industry is also highly competitive, and our technology, products, services or business models may not achieve widespread market acceptance. If we are unable to address any issues mentioned above, or encounter other problems, expenses, difficulties, complications, and delays in connection with the starting and expansion of our business, our entire business may fail, in which case you may lose your entire investment.

We have a history of net losses and negative cash flow from operations since inception and we expect such losses and negative cash flows from operations to continue in the foreseeable future. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, we had working capital of $0.3 million and a working capital deficit of $2.5 million, respectively, and an accumulated deficit of approximately $32.1 million and $17.8 million, respectively. For the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, we incurred net losses of approximately $3.6 million and $1.4 million, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, we incurred net losses of approximately $9.2 million and $4.6 million, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, we used cash in operations of $8.8 million and $2.0 million, respectively. We anticipate our losses will continue to increase from current levels because we expect to incur additional costs related to developing our business, including research and development costs, manufacturing costs, employee-related costs, costs of complying with government regulations, intellectual property development and prosecution costs, marketing and promotion costs, capital expenditures, general and administrative expenses, and costs associated with operating as a public company.

As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we had working capital of $4.5 million and a working capital deficit of $4.9 million, respectively, and an accumulated deficit of approximately $43.1 million and $31.9 million, respectively. For the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, we incurred net losses of approximately $11.1 million and $0.6 million, respectively. For the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, we used cash in operations of $3.5 million and $6.0 million, respectively. We anticipate our losses will continue to increase from current levels because we expect to incur additional costs related to developing our business, including research and development costs, manufacturing costs, employee-related costs, costs of complying with government regulations, intellectual property development and prosecution costs, marketing and promotion costs, capital expenditures, general and administrative expenses, and costs associated with operating as a public company.
Previous wording
Our ability to generate revenue from our operations and ultimately achieve profitability will depend on factors including but not limited to whether we can complete the development and commercialization of our QT Breast Scanner breast imaging technology and our future products, whether we can manufacture the QT Breast Scanner and future products on a commercial scale in such amounts and at such costs as we anticipate, and whether we can achieve market acceptance of our products, services and business models. The net losses that we incur may fluctuate significantly from period to period. As a result of these increased expenditures, we will need to generate significant additional revenue in order to offset our operating expenses and achieve and sustain profitability. Accordingly, we may not achieve or maintain profitability, and we may continue to incur significant losses in the future. Even if we achieve profitability, we cannot be sure that we will remain profitable for any substantial period of time. If we do not achieve or sustain profitability, it will be more difficult for us to finance our business and accomplish our strategic objectives, either of which would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects and may cause the market price of common stock to decline.

All shares issued as merger consideration in the Business Combination are freely tradable without registration under the Securities Act and without restriction by persons other than our “affiliates” (as defined under Rule 144), including our directors, executive officers and other affiliates, and certain other former QT Imaging stockholders.
Current wording
All shares issued as merger consideration in the Business Combination are freely tradable without registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) and without restriction by persons other than our “affiliates” (as defined under Rule 144), including our directors, executive officers and other affiliates, and certain other former QT Imaging stockholders.
Previous wording
The Company has registered in a resale registration statement on Form S-1 declared effective by the SEC on May 22, 2024, securities held by certain stockholders of the Company which have the right, subject to certain conditions, to require us to register the sale of their shares of common stock under the Securities Act, pursuant to the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement. By exercising their registration rights and selling a large number of shares, these stockholders could cause the prevailing market price of shares of common stock to decline.
Current wording
The Company has registered in a resale registration statement on Form S-1 declared effective by the SEC on May 22, 2024, securities held by certain stockholders of the Company which have the right, subject to certain conditions, to require us to register the sale of their shares of common stock under the Securities Act, pursuant to the terms of a registration statement that we entered into with GigAcquisitions5 and certain other securityholders of GigCapital5 and QT Imaging (the “GigCapital5 Registration Rights Agreement”). The Company has also registered in a resale registration statement on From S-1 declared effective by the SEC on February 5, 2025, the securities sold in the Private Placement as the purchaser received the right, subject to certain conditions, to require us to register the sale of their shares of common stock under the Securities Act, pursuant to the terms of of a registration statement that we entered into (“PIPE Registration Rights Agreement”). The sale of a large number of shares by these stockholders could cause the prevailing market price of shares of common stock to decline. Significant sales of shares of common stock may have negative pressure on the public trading price of our common stock.
Previous wording
Any stockholders making sales of our common stock will determine the timing, pricing and rate at which they sell the shares. Significant sales of shares of common stock may have negative pressure on the public trading price of our common stock. Even though the current trading price is significantly below the Company’s initial public offering price, based on the closing price of the common stock on November 12, 2024, certain private investors may have an incentive to sell their shares because they will still profit on sales due to the lower prices at which they purchased their shares as compared to the public investors.
Current wording
The shares already registered for resale currently represent over 50% of the total number of shares outstanding, based on the number of shares of common stock outstanding as of May 12, 2025. Even though the current trading price is significantly below the Company’s initial public offering price, based on the closing price of the common stock on May 12, 2025, certain of our stockholders may have an incentive to sell their shares because they will still profit on sales due to the lower prices at which they purchased their shares as compared to the public investors. For example, members of our founding stockholder, GigAcquisitions5, who received a distribution of shares from GigAcquisitions5 for which there is an effective resale registration statement, have a cost basis in up to 5,735,000 shares of common stock that were acquired at an effective purchase price of $0.0043592 per share, and, therefore, based on the closing price of the common stock on May 12, 2025, could earn an aggregate profit of approximately $4,835,412 from the resale of such shares.
Previous wording
As restrictions on resale end, the market price of shares of common stock could drop significantly if the holders of these shares sell them or are perceived by the market as intending to sell them. These factors could also make it more difficult for us to raise additional funds through future offerings of shares of common stock or other securities.
Current wording
To the extent that the selling securityholders under any of our registration statements on Form S-1 sell their shares or are perceived by the market as intending to sell them, the market price of shares of common stock could drop significantly. These factors could also make it more difficult for us to raise additional funds through future offerings of shares of common stock or other securities.
Previous wording
As of September 30, 2024, 889,364 Private Placement Warrants and Working Capital Note Warrants were outstanding. These warrants became exercisable 30 days after completion of the Business Combination and are exercisable now that we have an effective registration statement under the Securities Act covering the shares of common stock of the Company issuable upon exercise for so long as a current prospectus relating to them is available and such shares are registered, qualified or exempt from registration under the securities, or blue sky, laws of the state of residence of the holder (or the Company permits holders to exercise their warrants on a cashless basis under certain circumstances). Furthermore, the Company may redeem outstanding warrants in certain circumstances; provided, however, that these warrants will not be redeemable by the Company so long as they are held by the initial purchasers or any of its permitted transferees, to which the initial purchaser transferred the Private Placement Warrants and the Working Capital Note Warrants in June 2024. Under GAAP, the Company is required to evaluate contingent exercise provisions of these warrants and then their settlement provisions to determine whether they should be accounted for as a warrant liability or as equity. Any settlement amount not equal to the difference between the fair value of a fixed number of the Company’s equity shares and a fixed monetary amount precludes these warrants from being considered indexed to its own stock, and therefore, from being accounted for as equity. As a result of the provision that these warrants, when held by someone other than the initial purchasers or their permitted transferees, will be redeemable by the Company, the requirements for accounting for these warrants as equity are not satisfied. Therefore, the Company is required to account for these warrants as a warrant liability and record (a) that liability at fair value, and (b) any subsequent changes in fair value as of the end of each period for which earnings are reported. The impact of changes in fair value on earnings may have an adverse effect on the market price of common stock of the Company.
