QUANTUM COMPUTING INC.

Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

September 30, 2025

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 applications of our quantum offerings today are our Entropy Quantum Computing (“EQC”), reservoir computing, and quantum secured networks. Our longer-term product development plan is to migrate their current designs, 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 nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company issued 49.1 million shares of common stock for net proceeds of $756.5 million. As of September 30, 2025, the Company had cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments on hand of $555.6 million, an accumulated deficit of $217.6 million, and working capital of $559.2 million. As a result, the Company believes it 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.

F-6

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 nine months ended September 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 September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company had $294.7 million and $78.9 million, respectively, in cash equivalents invested in mutual funds. As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company had $57.4 million and $0, respectively, invested in short-term US Treasury Notes. 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 September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company was not party to any finance leases.

F-7

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 September 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 nine months ended September 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:

| Level 1 | Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

| Level 2 | Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable, unadjusted quoted prices in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the related assets or liabilities; and

| Level 3 | Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity for the related assets or liabilities.

F-8

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 September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, $294.7 million and $78.9 million, respectively, of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents were in Level 1 assets, comprised of U.S. Government mutual funds. As of September 30, 2025 the Company available-for sale securities of $517.9 million were in Level 2 assets, comprised of U.S. Treasuries and corporate debt securities. The Company had $14.7 million and $40.5 million as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, in Level 3 liabilities, which are comprised of derivative liabilities. See Note 10, 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 Income (Loss) Per Share

Basic net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (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 income (loss) per common share for periods with net losses.

F-9

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

|  | Three Months Ended |  |  | Nine Months Ended |

For the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and the three and nine months ended September 30, 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. For the three months ended September 30, 2025 warrants to purchase 800,827 shares related to the QPhoton merger were not included in the dilutive net income 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 condensed consolidated 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.

F-10

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 condensed 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 condensed consolidated 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 condensed 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 income (loss) 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 income (loss) (in thousands):

|  | Three Months Ended |  |  | Nine Months Ended |

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 September 30, 2025, the Company has a valuation allowance against all of its net deferred tax assets.

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

For each of the nine months ended September 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 material state income tax during the three months and nine months ended September 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 September 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. Available-For-Sale Debt Securities

The following table summarizes available-for sale debt securities held by the Company as of September 30, 2025:

|  | Remaining |  |  |  |  | Gross |  |  | Gross |  |  |  |
|  | Contractual |  | Amortized |  |  | Unrealized |  |  | Unrealized |  |  |  |
|  | Maturity |  | Cost |  |  | Gains |  |  | Losses |  |  | Fair Value |
U.S. Treasuries |  | 1 to 5 years |  | $ | 396,482 |  |  | $ | 80 |  |  | $ | - |  |  | $ | 396,562 |
Corporate debt securities |  | 1 to 9 years |  |  | 121,476 |  |  |  | - |  |  |  | (106 | ) |  |  | 121,370 |
Total available-for-sale debt securities |  |  |  | $ | 517,958 |  |  | $ | 80 |  |  | $ | (106 | ) |  | $ | 517,932 |

The Company may from time to time sell its available-for-sale debt securities. There were no realized gains or losses on sales of available-for-sale debt securities for the three or nine months ended September 30, 2025. The Company’s investment portfolio includes callable securities that may be called prior to maturity. There were no realized gains or losses on called available-for-sale debt securities for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025.

The aggregated net unrealized loss on available-for-sale debt securities in the amount of $26 thousand has been recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2025.

Note 6. Intangible Assets, net

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

|  | September 30, 2025 |  |  | December 31, 2024 |
|  | Gross Carrying Amount |  |  | Accumulated Amortization |  |  | Net Carrying Amount |  |  | Gross Carrying Amount |  |  | Accumulated Amortization |  |  | Net Carrying Amount |

Note 8. Operating Leases

As of September 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 July 31, 2030. 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.

Note 9. 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 had 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 December 31, 2024. During the quarter ended September 30 2025, this amount was settled for $750K with the remaining amount recognized once the settlement agreement was finalized.

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 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 Part II, Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

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 September 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 September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, and the Unissued QPhoton Warrants have a carrying value of $14.7 million and $40.5 million, respectively, as a liability on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 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 Part II, Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

Note 10. Capital Stock

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 were two-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 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 SPAs. As of December 31, 2024 and September 30, 2025, there were no shares of Series A Preferred Stock outstanding. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company redeemed 496,698 shares of Series A Preferred Stock for approximately $2.7 million, in cash paid to the Series A Holders.

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. As of September 30, 2025, all of these warrants were exercised.

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 September 30, 2025, the Company expects 800 thousand (the “In-the-Money QPhoton Warrants) of the 800 thousand 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 $18.41 per share as of September 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 September 30, 2025 that litigation was resolved and the associated 702,834 warrants were forfeited, of which 481,949 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.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, a total of 469,306 of the Placement Agent warrants were exercised by principals of Titan Capital Partners, resulting in proceeds to the Company of $2.4 million. The warrants exercised were 304,000 at an exercise price of $2.875, 100,000 at an exercise price of $5.75 and 65,306 at an exercise price of $14.0875. In addition, during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 1.187 million QPhoton warrants were exercised, at an exercise price of $0.0001, resulting in proceeds to the Company of $119 thousand. Due to the exercise of these QPhoton warrants, $21.0 million of the derivative liability was reclassified to additional paid-in capital during the nine months ended September 30, 2025. Total shares issued due to exercise of all warrants during the nine months ended September 30, 2025, were 1,671,439 (including 1.656 million shares from exercise of the Placement Agent warrants) and proceeds to the Company from all warrant exercises during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 were $2.399 million.

As of September 30, 2025, of the 6.3 million QPhoton Warrants issued, approximately 69% 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 $18.41 per share and $16.55 per share as of September 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 gain of $9.2 million, and $4.8 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively. In addition, due to the exercise of QPhoton warrants, $21.0 million of the derivative liability was reclassified to additional paid-in capital during the nine months ended September 30, 2025. No mark-to-market gain or loss was recorded during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024. As of September 30, 2025, the QPhoton Warrants have a carrying value of $14.7 million as a liability on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet.

The Quantum Computing Inc. 2019 Equity and Incentive Plan, as amended in 2021 enabled the Company to grant incentive stock options or nonqualified stock options and other equity awards to employees, directors and consultants of the Company up to a total of 3.0 million shares of common stock, all of which have been issued.

On July 5, 2022, the Board of Directors adopted the Quantum Computing Inc. 2022 Equity and Incentive Plan (the “2022 Plan”), which was approved by a majority of the shareholders in September 2022. The 2022 Plan initially provided for the issuance of up to 16 million shares of the Company’s common stock and includes provisions for annual automatic evergreen increases of 1,000,000 shares of common stock. As of September 30, 2025, the total number of shares of our common stock reserved for issuance under the 2022 Plan is 19.0 million and of that amount a total of 17.0 million shares, including 6.9 million shares underlying options, were issued and outstanding under the 2022 Plan.

Business Overview

QCi is a development stage company with limited operations and revenue. The Company is developing quantum and ancillary non-quantum products for high-performance computing, sensing, and networking applications based on proprietary photonics technology. QCi’s products are designed to operate at room temperature and low power at an affordable cost in the areas of high-performance computing, sensing, and quantum cybersecurity. The Company has generated some revenue based on sales of products and related services to date and is expanding its sales and marketing efforts. The Company’s development team includes optical engineers, technicians, mathematicians, physicists, and software developers.

QCi’s proprietary core technology rests in our ability to condition, manipulate, and measure single photons (particles of light). Specifically, our integrated photonics approach exploits the non-linear capabilities of photons (our “Core Photonics Technology”). Our Entropy Quantum Computer (“EQC”) is a quantum application of our Core Photonics Technology, designed to solve complex optimization problems. EQC is based on a patent-pending methodology that utilizes the energy in the environment to drive controlled feedback through energy loss in a photonic circuit architecture. The EQC’s use of the environment as an integral part of the system is in sharp contrast to competing quantum approaches, including the aforementioned superconducting, trapped-ion, and annealing architectures, which seek to establish stable quantum states by the complete elimination of environmental effects. As a result, the EQC consumes less power than these competing methods and operates at room temperature making it compatible with an ordinary server room environment. We anticipate that our EQC will enable us to develop and produce multiple generations of quantum machines with increasing computational power, scalability, and speed.

Our longer-term product development plan is to migrate product designs based on discrete components, including EQC’s current design, to a set of optical integrated circuits built on wafers using a crystalline material called lithium niobate (“Thin Film Lithium Niobate” or “TFLN”). The Company believes that TFLN is an excellent material for optical integrated circuit design, given its advantageous optical properties (both linear and non-linear) and its compatibility with silicon-based semiconductor fabrication methods. In March 2025, the Company substantially completed the buildout of a state-of-the-art TFLN chip manufacturing facility in a leased space within Arizona State University’s Research Park in Tempe, Arizona (the “AZ Chips Facility”).

In addition to our EQC technology, we have leveraged QCi’s core photonics technology to demonstrate powerful quantum sensing use cases in LIDAR (light detection and ranging) (a technology that uses pulsed laser light to measure distances to objects by calculating the time it takes for the reflected light to return), reservoir computing (a form of neural network that can be used in machine learning applications and quantum cyber authentication (a method for highly secure communication within a network). Several of these technologies are in the early stages of commercialization and several are available to customers through our research & development offerings.

Economic Conditions, Challenges, and Risks

The markets for high-performance conventional and quantum computing and cloud-based services are dynamic and highly competitive. Our competitors are developing new computing devices, while also enhancing competing cloud-based services for businesses. Aggregate demand for our solutions, services, and devices is also correlated to global macroeconomic and geopolitical factors, which remain dynamic. We must continue to evolve and adapt over an extended time in pace with this changing environment.

The investments we are making in quantum optical chips and devices will continue to increase our operating costs and may decrease our operating margins. Components for our devices are primarily manufactured by third parties. Some of our products contain certain components for which there are very few qualified suppliers. Extended disruptions at these suppliers could impact our ability to manufacture devices on time to meet consumer demand.

Our success is highly dependent on our ability to attract and retain qualified employees. We hire a mix of university and industry talent. We compete for talented individuals by offering an exceptional working environment, an ability to work on new, ground-breaking quantum technology, the ability to grow one’s career across many different products and businesses, and competitive compensation and benefits.

Revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2025 was $384 thousand compared to $101 thousand for the comparable prior year period, an increase of $283 thousand or 280%. Revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 was $484 thousand compared to $311 thousand for the comparable prior year period, an increase of $173 thousand or 56%. The respective increases in revenue are primarily due to increases in the number of, size of and level of effort performed on active customer proof-of-concept and research and development services and custom hardware contracts. Increasing the hours worked on time and materials R&D contracts increased recognized revenue, and additional labor and materials was required to achieve a higher percentage completion on custom hardware contracts. The Company also started to recognize revenue for cloud-based access to the Dirac-3 quantum optimization system during the three months ended September 30, 2025.

Cost of Revenue

Cost of revenue, which consists of direct labor expenses, primarily salary costs for engineering and solutions staff delivering services, and other direct component costs for custom hardware on research and development contracts, was $258 thousand for the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to $92 thousand for the comparable prior year period, an increase of $166 thousand or 180%. Cost of revenue was $319 thousand for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to $233 thousand for the comparable prior year period, an increase of $86 thousand or 37%. These increases are primarily due to the increases in direct labor expenses on R&D services contracts and custom hardware contracts, and increased other direct costs (primarily parts and materials) required to perform on the contracts during the 2025 periods compared to the prior year periods. Revenue increased faster than direct costs year over year due to greater use of labor categories with higher margins and sale of Dirac-3 computing services.

Gross Margin

Gross margin for the three months ended September 30, 2025 was $126 thousand and 33% of revenue compared to $9 thousand and 9% of revenue for the comparable prior year period. Gross margin for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 was $165 thousand and 34% of revenue compared to $78 thousand and 25% of revenue for the comparable prior year period. The respective changes were primarily the result of changes in the mix of labor categories and number of personnel used to perform the active contracts. Gross margins also increased year over year due to greater use of labor categories with higher margins, and the start of revenue from cloud-access to Dirac-3, which has a higher gross margin than R&D services.

Operating Expenses

Operating expenses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 increased by $5.1 million and $11.9 million, respectively compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024. These increases are due to higher research and development expenses, sales and marketing costs and general and administrative expenses, as discussed below.

Research and development expenses consist primarily of labor expenses for employees that primarily engage in research and development efforts and non-labor expenses for the development of hardware products and supporting software. We focus the bulk of our research and development activities on the continued development of existing products and the development of new offerings for emerging market opportunities. Research and development costs were $4.5 million and $13.5 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to $2.2 million and $6.6 million, respectively for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024. Research and development expenses increased $2.3 million and $6.9 million, respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025. These increases were due to higher headcount and related payroll costs and stock based compensation expense, higher recurring lab equipment and consumables costs, and higher depreciation for long-lived laboratory equipment, partially offset by hosting services. The Company is aggressively pursuing its technology roadmap and has hired additional scientists, engineers and technicians in order to accelerate the development of key technologies and products.

Selling and marketing expenses consist primarily of employee compensation as well as customer lead generation activities, tradeshow participation, advertising and other marketing and selling costs. Sales and marketing expenses were $787 thousand and $2.1 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 as compared to $363 thousand and $1.2 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024. Selling and marketing expenses increased 117% and 72% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively, as compared to the prior comparable period, primarily due to increases in the sales staff, higher tradeshow and travel-related costs and increased marketing program costs. During 2025 the sales and marketing team has participated in 1or 2 conferences and trade shows per month, compared to 1 or 2 trade shows per quarter during 2024, including greater participation in international quantum technology events, resulting in higher travel expenses.

General and administrative expenses consist primarily of compensation expenses for employees performing administrative functions and professional fees incurred for legal, auditing and other consulting services. General and administrative expenses were $5.2 million and $13.4 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to $2.8 million and $9.3 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024. General and administrative expenses increased 84% for the three months ended and increased 44% for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to the comparable prior year periods primarily due to higher employee and advisor-related expenses relating to development and implementation of internal financial controls, expansion of accounting staff, increased recruiting fees and legal expenses related to multiple financings and ongoing litigation.

Non-operating Income (Expense)

Non-operating income (expense) includes interest and other income, interest expense and change in fair value of derivative liability.

Interest and other income of $3.5 million and $7.1 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 consists of changes in the fair value of investments and earned interest on cash and cash equivalents offset by interest expense. Interest income increased over the prior year by $3.5 million and $6.9 million, respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025. These increases are due to the Company maintaining higher cash balances in mutual funds, deposit and money market accounts, U.S. Treasuries and corporate bonds during the 2025 periods compared to the 2024 periods as a result of the substantial amount of new funding the Company raised in 2025 compared to 2024.

Interest expense of $4 thousand and $120 thousand, respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 is related to late payroll tax filings. Interest expense of $307 thousand and $462 thousand for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 consisted of interest on financial liabilities. The related borrowings were paid off during the year ended December 31, 2024.

The Company recognized a gain of $9.2 million during the three months ended September 30, 2025 as a result of the change in fair value of the QPhoton Warrant liability. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company recognized a gain of $4.8 million related to the change in fair value of the QPhoton Warrant liability. The change in value of the warrant liability is comprised of mark-to-market adjustments for the QPhoton Warrants. Future mark-to-market adjustments may result in losses if the Company’s stock price increases above the Company’s closing bid price of $18.41 per share on September 30, 2025. No gains or losses were recorded in the comparable periods ended September 30, 2024.

Liquidity and Capital Resources.

We have incurred net losses and experienced negative cash flows from operations since inception. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company raised $474.9 million and $756.5 million, respectively, through the private placement of equity. The Company has no lines of credit or short-term debt obligations outstanding when excluding the remaining debt issuance costs. We expect to incur additional losses and higher operating expenses for the foreseeable future as we continue to invest in research and development and go-to-market programs. As of September 30, 2025, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $352.4 million and investments of $460.6 million.

Our primary uses of cash are to fund and invest in our operations as we continue to grow our business. We will require a significant amount of cash for continued investment in our Foundry Services offering, including but not limited to any future-identified space for expansion of our AZ Chips Facility, as well as ongoing research and development for our non-linear quantum optical products and photonics chips. Until such time as we can generate significant revenue from sales or subscriptions of our hardware offerings, we expect to finance our operating and investing needs through our cash and cash equivalents and, equity and/or debt financings or other capital sources, including but not limited to U.S. government grant and loan programs. We may, however, be unable to raise sufficient funds or enter into such other arrangements, when needed, on favorable terms, or at all. In particular, uncertain and unfavorable conditions in the United States and global macroeconomic environment, including inflationary pressures, rising interest rates, bank failures, and financial and credit market fluctuations, could reduce our ability to access capital on favorable terms, or at all. To the extent that we raise additional capital through the sale of equity or convertible debt securities, the ownership interest of our stockholders will be, or could be, diluted, and the terms of these securities may include liquidation or other preferences that adversely affect the rights of our common stockholders. Debt financing and equity financing, if available, may involve agreements that include covenants limiting or restricting our ability to take specific actions, such as incurring additional debt, making capital expenditures or declaring dividends. If we are unable to raise additional funds through equity or debt financings when needed, we may be required to delay, limit, or substantially reduce our product development and go-to-market efforts. There can be no assurances that the Company will be able to secure additional equity and/or debt investments or achieve an adequate sales level. We believe, however, that the Company’s existing cash and cash equivalents, together with any cash generated from operations and the proceeds from any additional equity or debt issuances will be sufficient to meet the Company’s liquidity needs for at least the next 12 months.

The following table summarizes total consolidated current assets, liabilities and working capital at September 30, 2025, compared to December 31, 2024 (in thousands):

|  | September 30, 2025 |  |  | December 31, 2024 |  |  | Change |
Current assets |  | $ | 562,793 |  |  | $ | 79,151 |  |  | $ | 483,642 |
Current liabilities |  | $ | 3,634 |  |  | $ | 4,559 |  |  | $ | (925 | )
Working capital |  | $ | 559,159 |  |  | $ | 74,592 |  |  | $ | 484,567 |

5

At September 30, 2025, we had working capital of $559.2 million as compared to working capital of $74.6 million at December 31, 2024, an increase of $484.6 million. The increase in working capital is primarily attributable to an increase in cash and available-for-sale debt securities from the net proceeds of our sales of 49.1 million shares of common stock for an aggregate of $756.5 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2025, offset by the use of cash to pay for operating expenses and capital investments in property and equipment.

Cash Flows

The following table summarizes our cash flow for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 (in thousands).

|  | Nine Months Ended September 30, |
|  | 2025 |  |  | 2024 |
Net cash used in operating activities |  | $ | (19,278 | ) |  | $ | (12,439 | )
Net cash used in investing activities |  |  | (466,169 | ) |  |  | (3,170 | )
Net cash provided by financing activities |  |  | 758,938 |  |  |  | 16,614 |
Net increase in cash and cash equivalents |  | $ | 273,491 |  |  | $ | 1,005 |

Net cash used in operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 was $19.3 million and $12.4 million, respectively, in each case primarily as a result of our net loss in each period offset by noncash adjustments for stock-based compensation, mark-to-market valuation adjustments on financial liabilities, and depreciation and amortization.

Net cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 was $466.2 million and $3.1 million, respectively, and was attributable to our purchase of computer hardware, laboratory and TFLN Chips manufacturing equipment as well as the purchase of $460.6 million in available-for-sale debt securities.

Net cash provided by financing activities was $758.9 million and $16.6 million, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024. Cash flows provided by financing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 were primarily attributable to net proceeds from our stock issuances.

On a long-term basis, our liquidity is dependent on the continuation and expansion of operations and receipt of revenues. Demand for our products and services will be dependent on, among other things, market acceptance of our products and services, the technology market in general, and general economic conditions, which are cyclical in nature. As most of our revenues will be from the sales of our products and services, our business operations may be adversely affected by the actions of our competitors and prolonged recession periods.

Critical Accounting Estimates

Certain of our accounting policies require the application of significant judgment by our management, and such judgments are reflected in the amounts reported in our consolidated financial statements. In applying these policies, our management uses judgment to determine the appropriate assumptions to be used in the determination of estimates. Those estimates are based on our historical experience, terms of existing contracts, our observance of market trends, information provided by our strategic partners and information available from other outside sources, as appropriate. Actual results may differ significantly from the estimates contained in our consolidated financial statements.

There have been no material changes to our critical accounting estimates since our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Not applicable.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain “disclosure controls and procedures,” as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, our management recognized that disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of disclosure controls and procedures are met. Additionally, in designing disclosure controls and procedures, our management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible disclosure controls and procedures. The design of any disclosure controls and procedures also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.

As of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on such evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that as of September 30, 2025, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to provide reasonable assurance that (a) the information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and (b) such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and President and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

(b) Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and Rule 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during our most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

Except as listed below, there is no action, suit, or proceeding by any court, public board, government agency, self-regulatory organization or body pending or, to the knowledge of the executive officers of the Company or our subsidiaries, threatened against or affecting the Company, our common stock, our subsidiaries, or the Company’s or its subsidiaries’ officers or directors in their capacities as such, in which an adverse decision could have a material adverse effect on the Company.

BV Advisory Partners, LLC Proceedings

BV Advisory v. QCi Appraisal Action

BV Advisory Partners, LLC (“BV Advisory”) was a shareholder of QPhoton, Inc., the predecessor in interest to the Company’s subsidiary, QPhoton, LLC (both referred to as “QPhoton” in this Legal Proceedings discussion). On October 13, 2022, BV Advisory filed a petition in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (the “Delaware Chancery Court”) seeking appraisal rights on the shares of common stock of QPhoton it owned (which shares represented 10% of the shares of common stock of QPhoton outstanding immediately prior to the Company’s acquisition of QPhoton) pursuant to Section 262 of the Delaware General Corporation Law.

BV Advisory v. QCi Breach of Contract Lawsuit

On March 1, 2021, QPhoton entered into a Note Purchase Agreement with BV Advisory (the “BV Note Purchase Agreement”), pursuant to which, on March 1, 2021, March 23, 2021, and July 9, 2021, QPhoton and BV Advisory entered into convertible promissory notes for $200,592, $150,000, and $150,000, respectively, for a total of $500,592. The notes bore interest at a rate of 6% per annum and matured two years from the issuance date. On June 16, 2022, the effective date of our acquisition of QPhoton, QPhoton tendered a cashier’s check to BV Advisory in the amount of $535,684.24, representing the full principal balance of the notes and accrued interest through June 16, 2022. On July 14, 2022, BV Advisory returned the cashier’s check and disputed the calculation of the amount paid to settle the notes.

On August 16, 2022, BV Advisory filed a complaint in the Delaware Chancery Court naming the Company and certain of its directors and officers (among others) as defendants. BV Advisory sought, among other relief, monetary damages from QPhoton for an alleged breach of the BV Note Purchase Agreement. After the Delaware Chancery Court dismissed BV Advisory’s other claims against the Company and QPhoton, on October 17, 2024, the Delaware Chancery Court entered a Stipulation and Order dismissing BV Advisory’s claim for breach of the BV Note Purchase Agreement, subject to BV Advisory’s right to elect to transfer its claim to the Superior Court of the state of Delaware (the “Delaware Superior Court”). BV Advisory elected to transfer the claim for breach of the BV Note Purchase Agreement to the Delaware Superior Court. On November 12, 2024, BV Advisory filed a new complaint in the Delaware Superior Court, asserting a claim for breach of the BV Note Purchase Agreement and for breach of the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing.

QCi v. BV Advisory Injunction Lawsuit

On January 31, 2025, the Company filed a complaint in Delaware Chancery Court against BV Advisory and Barksdale, asserting claims for defamation, breach of contract, conversion, aiding and abetting conversion, and misappropriation of trade secrets based on their unauthorized possession and dissemination of certain of the Company’s confidential and privileged documents. The Company sought, among other relief, injunctive relief and damages.

Resolution

On July 17, 2025, the Company entered into a Confidential Settlement Agreement and Release (the “Settlement Agreement”) with Barksdale and BV Advisory, pursuant to which, among other things, (i) Barksdale, BV Advisory, and the Company agreed to settle all disputes between them without admissions of any kind and release all Claims, as defined therein, that they might have against each other, on the terms and conditions set forth therein, (ii) the Company agreed to pay $750,000 to BV Advisory and Barksdale, collectively, and issue 1,900,000 shares of its common stock (the “Shares”) to Barksdale or entities designated by him, and (iii) the Company agreed to file a registration statement providing for the resale of the Shares by July 31, 2025. On July 28, the Company filed such a resale registration statement on Form S-1, which the SEC declared effective on August 4, 2025. BV Advisory had been both a lender to and shareholder of QPhoton.

Securities Class Action Lawsuit

On February 25, 2025, a class action lawsuit was filed against the Company and certain of its current and past officers in the New Jersey District Court, by a plaintiff seeking to represent a class of all persons who purchased the Company’s securities between March 30, 2020 and January 15, 2025, alleging violations of Section 10(b) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act. The complaint alleges that the Company made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose material information about the Company’s customers, contracts and business operations in its public statements and SEC filings. The plaintiff seeks unspecified monetary damages plus attorney’s fees and costs. In June 2025, the New Jersey District Court designated a lead plaintiff who filed an amended operative complaint on or about August 26, 2025.

Stock Options Arbitration

In February 2025, the Company entered into arbitrations with two former consultants regarding the forfeiture of stock options. The Company had issued stock options to the consultants in 2020 and 2021 pursuant to their respective consulting agreements. The Company terminated the former consultants’ consulting agreements in March 2024, at which time the Company informed the former consultants that any vested options had to be exercised within three months of the termination date, per the Company’s equity and incentive plans. The former consultants did not exercise their vested options, and the options were duly forfeited. In December 2024, the former consultants claimed that they still retained the right to exercise the options, which the Company has rejected. The Company disputes these claims and intends to defend itself vigorously.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

The Company’s business, reputation, results of operations, financial condition and stock price can be affected by a number of factors, whether currently known or unknown, including those described in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, filed with the SEC on March 20, 2025 (the “2024 Form 10-K”) and Part II, Item 1A of the Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2025, filed May 15, 2025 (the “first quarter 2025 Form 10-Q”). When any one or more of these risks materialize from time to time, the Company’s business, reputation, results of operations, financial condition and stock price can be materially and adversely affected. Except for the risk factors disclosed in Part II, Item 1A of the first quarter 2025 Form 10-Q, there have been no material changes to the Company’s risk factors since the 2024 Form 10-K.
