Q/C TECHNOLOGIES, INC. (formerly known as TNF PHARMACEUTICALS, INC.) AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
Note 1 – Organization and Description of Business
TNF Pharmaceuticals, Inc. is a Delaware corporation (“QCLS” or the “Company”) that was incorporated in New Jersey prior to the Reincorporation (as defined below). On July 22, 2024, the Company changed its name from MyMD Pharmaceuticals, Inc. to TNF Pharmaceuticals, Inc. by filing a certificate of amendment to its certificate of incorporation with the Secretary of State of Delaware. In addition, effective before the open of market trading on July 24, 2024, the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Common Stock”), ceased trading under the ticker symbol “MYMD” and began trading on the Nasdaq Stock Market under the ticker symbol “TNFA.” On September 22, 2025, the Company changed its name from TNF Pharmaceuticals, Inc. to Q/C Technologies, Inc. by filing a certificate of amendment to its certificate of incorporation with the Secretary of State of Delaware. In addition, effective before the open of market trading on September 25, 2025, the Company’s Common Stock, ceased trading under the ticker symbol “TNFA” and began trading on the Nasdaq Stock Market under the ticker symbol “QCLS.”
On September 2, 2025, the Company entered into that certain Membership Interest Purchase Agreement (the “MIPA”), by and among the Company, LPU Holdings LLC (“LPU”) and the members of LPU (the “Sellers”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to acquire 100% of the membership interests (the “Membership Interests”) of LPU from the Sellers, and as a result, LPU became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.
These consolidated financial statements include three wholly owned subsidiaries as of September 30, 2025, Akers Acquisition Sub, Inc., Bout Time Marketing Corporation and LPU (together, the “Company”). All material intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
The Company has historically been engaged in the development and commercialization of two therapeutic platforms based on well-defined targets: (i) Isomyosamine (formerly known as MYMD-1), an oral, next-generation TNF-α inhibitor with the potential to transform the way TNF-α based diseases are treated due to its selectivity and ability to cross the blood brain barrier. Its ease of oral dosing is a significant differentiator compared to currently available TNF-α inhibitors, all of which require delivery by injection or infusion, and (ii) and Supera-CBD. Recently, the Company has shifted its business strategy to focus on energy-efficient blockchain, cryptocurrency infrastructure, and high-performance computing through quantum-class laser-based computing. The Company’s core strategy leverages an exclusive global licensing agreement with LightSolver Ltd. to deploy innovative LPUs, specifically the Company-branded qc-LPU100™, which harnesses the natural properties of light with the goal of achieving high computational speed and energy efficiency.
At the Company’s annual meeting of stockholders held on July 31, 2023, the stockholders approved a plan to merge the Company with and into a newly formed wholly owned subsidiary, MyMD Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“MyMD Delaware”), with MyMD Delaware being the surviving corporation, for the purpose of changing the Company’s state of incorporation from New Jersey to Delaware (the “Reincorporation”). The Reincorporation was effected as of March 4, 2024. In connection with the Reincorporation to Delaware, the par value of the Company’s Common Stock and preferred stock was changed to $0.001 per share.
Note 2 – Significant Accounting Policies
(a) Basis of Presentation
The condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company are prepared in U.S. Dollars and in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”).
The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared by the Company. These statements include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) which management believes necessary for a fair presentation of the statements and have been prepared on a consistent basis using the accounting policies described in Note 2 Significant Accounting Policies included in the Notes to Financial Statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 11, 2025 (the “2024 Annual Report”). Certain financial information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with US GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the accompanying disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. The Notes to Financial Statements included in the 2024 Annual Report should be read in conjunction with the accompanying interim financial statements. The interim operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 may not be necessarily indicative of the operating results expected for the full year or any future period.
(b) Use of Estimates and Judgments
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates. Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimates are revised and in any future periods affected. Information about significant areas of estimation, uncertainty and critical judgments in applying accounting policies that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in the financial statements is included in the following notes for recording the fair value of financial instruments, derivative financial instruments valuations, research and development expenses, impairment of intangible assets and the valuation of share-based payments.
(c) Functional and Presentation Currency
These condensed consolidated financial statements are presented in U.S. Dollars, which is the Company’s functional currency. All financial information has been rounded to the nearest dollar. Foreign Currency Transaction Gains or Losses, resulting from cash balances denominated in Foreign Currencies, are recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Loss.
|
|
(d) Comprehensive Income (Loss)
The Company follows Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification (“FASB ASC”) 220 in reporting comprehensive income. Comprehensive income (loss) is a more inclusive financial reporting methodology that includes disclosure of certain financial information that historically has not been recognized in the calculation of net income (loss). Since the Company has no items of other comprehensive income (loss), comprehensive loss is equal to net loss.
(e) Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments, which include short-term bank deposits (up to three months from date of deposit) that are not restricted as to withdrawal date or use, to be cash equivalents.
(f) Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Fair value measurements discussed herein are based upon certain market assumptions and pertinent information available to management as of and during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025. The carrying amounts of cash equivalents, accounts receivable, other current assets, other assets, accounts payable, and accrued expenses approximated their fair values as of September 30, 2025 due to their short-term nature. The fair value of the bifurcated embedded derivative related to the convertible preferred stock was estimated using a Monte Carlo simulation model, which uses as inputs the fair value of the Company’s Common Stock and estimates for the equity volatility and traded volume volatility of the Company’s Common Stock, the time to maturity of the convertible preferred stock, the risk-free interest rate for a period that approximates the time to maturity, dividend rate, a penalty dividend rate, and the probability of default. The fair value of the warrant liabilities was estimated using the Black Scholes Model which uses as inputs the following weighted average assumptions: dividend yield, expected term in years, equity volatility, and risk-free interest rate.
Fair Value Measurement
The framework for measuring fair value provides a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under FASB ASC 820 are described as follows:
| Level 1 | Inputs to the valuation methodology are unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the Company can access. | ||
| Level 2 | Inputs to the valuation methodology include: | ||
| ● | quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; | ||
| ● | quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets; | ||
| ● | inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability; | ||
| ● | inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means | ||
| If the asset or liability has a specified (contractual) term, the level 2 input must be observable for substantially the full term of the asset or liability. | |||
| Level 3 | Inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement. | ||
The asset or liability’s fair value measurement level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Valuation techniques maximize the use of relevant observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.
|

(f) Fair Value of Financial Instruments, continued
The following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for assets measured at fair value as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company held certain mutual funds, which, under FASB ASC 321-10, were considered equity investments. As such, the change in fair value in the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 was a gain of $309 and a gain of $4,746, respectively. The change in fair value in the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 was a loss of $1,435 and a gain of $3,771, respectively.
Gains and losses resulting from the sales of marketable securities were $0 and a gain of $551 for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Gains and losses resulting from the sales of marketable securities were gains of $2,176 and a gain of $651 for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
Proceeds from the sales of marketable securities in the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 were $11,209,546 and $5,500,450, respectively.
Contingent consideration payables are classified as a Level 3 instrument with significant unobservable inputs. They are considered a non-current asset.
Fair Value on a Recurring Basis
The Company follows the guidance in ASC 820 for its financial assets and liabilities that are re-measured and reported at fair value at each reporting period, and non-financial assets and liabilities that are re-measured and reported at fair value at least annually. The estimated fair value of the warrant liabilities and bifurcated embedded derivatives represent Level 3 measurements. The following table presents information about the Company’s liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation inputs the Company utilized to determine such fair value:

(g) Derivative Financial Instruments
The Company evaluates its financial instruments to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives in accordance with ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging.” If liability accounting is required, the Company’s derivative instruments are recorded at fair value at the issuance date and re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported in the statements of operations. Derivative assets and liabilities are classified on the balance sheet as current or non-current based on whether or not net-cash settlement or conversion of the instrument could be required within twelve (12) months of the balance sheet date.
The Company has determined that the Series F Warrants are derivatives that are required to be accounted for as liabilities. The Company has also determined that the following embedded features in the Series F Preferred Shares are not clearly and closely related to the debt host instrument; 1) make-whole interest upon a contingent redemption event; 2) make-whole interest upon a conversion event; 3) an installment redemption upon an Equity Conditions Failure (as defined in the Series F Certificate of Designations (as defined herein)); and 4) variable share-settled installment conversion and as such are bifurcated from the Series F Preferred Shares and accounted for as liabilities. The fair value of the Series F Warrants and embedded features are estimated using internal valuation models. The Company’s valuation models utilize inputs and other assumptions and may not be reflective of the price at which they can be settled.
The Company has determined that the Series F-1 Warrants are derivatives that are required to be accounted for as liabilities. The Company has also determined that the following embedded features in the Series F-1 Preferred Shares are not clearly and closely related to the debt host instrument: 1) make-whole interest upon a contingent redemption event; 2) make-whole interest upon a conversion event; 3) an installment redemption upon an Equity Conditions Failure (as defined in the Series F-1 Certificate of Designation); and 4) variable share-settled installment conversion and as such are bifurcated from the Series F-1 Preferred Shares and accounted for as liabilities. The fair value of the Series F-1 Warrants and embedded features are estimated using internal valuation models. The Company’s valuation models utilize inputs and other assumptions and may not be reflective of the price at which they can be settled.
Warrants
The Company accounts for warrants as either equity-classified or liability-classified instruments based on an assessment of the warrant’s specific terms and applicable authoritative guidance in ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (“ASC 480”) and ASC 815. The assessment considers whether the warrants are freestanding financial instruments pursuant to ASC 480, meet the definition of a liability pursuant to ASC 480, and whether the warrants meet all of the requirements for equity classification under ASC 815, including whether the warrants are indexed to the Company’s own Common Stock and whether the warrant holders could potentially require “net cash settlement” in a circumstance outside of the Company’s control, among other conditions for equity classification. This assessment, which requires the use of professional judgment, is conducted at the time of warrant issuance and as of each subsequent quarterly period end date while the warrants are outstanding.
For issued or modified warrants that meet all of the criteria for equity classification, the warrants are required to be recorded as a component of additional paid-in capital at the time of issuance. For issued or modified warrants that do not meet all the criteria for equity classification, the warrants are required to be liability classified and recorded at their initial fair value on the date of issuance and remeasured at fair value and each balance sheet date thereafter. Changes in the estimated fair value of the warrants are recognized as a non-cash gain or loss on the Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss).
Modification of warrants
The Company applies the guidance in ASC 815-40 to account for warrants that are liability classified that are subsequently modified resulting in a reclassification to equity. The warrants are remeasured at fair value on the modification date, the change in fair value is recognized as a non-cash gain or loss on the Statement of Comprehensive Income (Loss), and the warrants are reclassified to additional paid-in capital.
(h) Prepaid Expenses
Prepaid expenses represent expenses paid prior to the date that the related services are rendered or used are comprised principally of prepaid insurance and research and development expenses.
(i) Concentrations
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash on deposit with financial institutions and accounts receivable. At times, the Company’s cash in banks exceeds the FDIC insurance limit. The Company has not experienced any loss because of these cash deposits. These cash balances are maintained with two banks as of September 30, 2025.
(j) Risk Management of Cash and Investments
It is the Company’s policy to minimize the Company’s capital resources to investment risks, prioritizing the preservation of capital over investment returns. Investments are maintained in securities, primarily publicly traded, short-term money market funds based on highly rated federal, state and corporate bonds, that minimize the risk to the Company’s capital resources and provide ready access to funds.
The Company’s investment portfolios are regularly monitored for risk and are held with one brokerage firm.

(k) Investments
Investments recorded using the cost method will be assessed for any decrease in value that has occurred that is other than temporary and the other than temporary decrease in value shall be recognized. As and when circumstances and facts change, the Company will evaluate the Company’s ability to significantly influence operational and financial policy to establish a basis for converting the investment accounted for using the cost method to the equity method of valuation in accordance with FASB ASC 323.
In accordance with FASB ASC 323, the Company recognizes investments in joint ventures based upon the Company’s ability to significantly influence the operational or financial policies of the joint venture. An objective judgment of the level of influence is made at the time of the investment based upon several factors including, but not limited to the following:
| a) | Representation on the Board of Directors | |
| b) | Participation in policy-making processes | |
| c) | Material intra-entity transactions | |
| d) | Interchange of management personnel | |
| e) | Technological dependencies | |
| f) | Extent of ownership and the ability to influence decision making based upon the makeup of other owners when the shareholder group is small. |
The Company follows the equity method for valuating investments in joint ventures when the existence of significant influence over operational and financial policy has been established, as determined by management; otherwise, the Company will valuate these investments using the cost method.
In accordance with FASB ASC 321-10-35-2, the Company has elected to measure its investment in Oravax Medical, Inc. (“Oravax”) (Note 3) as an equity security without a readily determinable fair value. Under this election, an equity security without a readily available fair value is reflected at cost minus impairment, if any, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for the identical or a similar investment of the same issuer. At each reporting period, the Company is required to make a qualitative assessment considering impairment indicators to evaluate whether the investment is impaired. If deemed impaired, the Company is required to estimate the fair value of the investment and recognize an impairment loss equal to the difference between the fair value of the investment and its carry amount. As of September 30, 2025, the Company performed a qualitative assessment to evaluate whether the investment is impaired and determined that the investment was not impaired and thus no adjustment to fair market value was required as of September 30, 2025.
(l) Property, Plant and Equipment
Items of property, plant and equipment are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. Costs include expenditures that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the asset.
Gains and losses on disposal of an item of property, plant and equipment are determined by comparing the proceeds from disposal with the carrying amount of property, plant and equipment and are recognized within “other (income)/expense” in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Loss.
Depreciation is recognized over the estimated useful lives of the property, plant and equipment. Leased assets are depreciated over the shorter of the lease term or their useful lives.
The estimated useful lives for the current and comparative periods are as follows:
Schedule of Estimated Useful Lives of Property Plant and Equipment
| Useful Life | ||
| (in years) | ||
| Plant and equipment | 5-12 | |
| Furniture and fixtures | 5-10 | |
| Computer equipment & software | 3-5 | |
| Leasehold Improvements | Shorter of the remaining lease or estimated useful life |
Depreciation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at each reporting date.
(m) Intangible Assets
The Company’s long-lived intangible assets, other than goodwill, are assessed for impairment when events or circumstances indicate there may be an impairment. These assets were initially recorded at their estimated fair value at the time of acquisition and assets not acquired in acquisitions were recorded at historical cost. However, if their estimated fair value is less than the carrying amount, other intangible assets with indefinite lives are reduced to their estimated fair value through an impairment charge in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Loss.

(m) Intangible Assets, continued
Patents and Trade Secrets
Propriety protection for the Company’s products, technology and process is important to its competitive position. As of September 30, 2025, the Company has 17 issued U.S. patents, 69 foreign patents, 2 U.S. patents and 7 foreign patent applications pending in such jurisdictions as Canada, China, Isreal, and Japan, which if issued are expected to expire between 2036 and 2039. Management intends to protect all other intellectual property (e.g. copyrights, trademarks, and trade secrets) using all legal remedies available to the Company.
The Company records expenses related to the application for and maintenance of patents as a component of research and development expenses on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Loss.
Patent Costs
Patents may be purchased from third parties. The costs of acquiring the patent are capitalized as patent costs if it represents a future economic benefit to the Company. Once a patent is acquired it is amortized over its remaining useful life and assessed for impairment when necessary.
Other Intangible Assets
Other intangible assets that are acquired by the Company, which have definite useful lives, are measured at cost less accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses.
Amortization
Amortization is recognized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of intangible assets, other than goodwill, from the date that they are available for use. The estimated useful lives for the current and comparative periods are as follows:
Schedule of Estimated Useful Lives of Intangible Assets
| Useful Life | ||
| (in years) | ||
| Patents and trademarks | 12-17 |
(n) Goodwill
Goodwill is evaluated annually for impairment or whenever the Company identifies certain triggering events or circumstances that would more likely than not reduce the fair value below its carrying amount. Events or circumstances that might indicate an interim evaluation is warranted include, among other things, unexpected adverse business conditions, economic factors (for example, the loss of key personnel), supply costs, unanticipated competitive activities, and acts by governments and courts.
Goodwill associated with the legacy business was evaluated at as of September 30, 2025 due to the change in the Company’s business model, which could be viewed as a triggering event. The net equity of the legacy business was assessed and used to measure the associated net book value of the goodwill. As of this measurement date, no impairment was required.
(o) Recoverability of Long-Lived Assets
In accordance with FASB ASC 360-10-35 “Impairment or Disposal of Long-lived Assets”, long-lived assets to be held and used are analyzed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be fully recoverable or that the useful lives of those assets are no longer appropriate. The Company evaluates at each balance sheet date whether events and circumstances have occurred that indicate possible impairment.
The Company determines the existence of such impairment by measuring the expected future cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges) and comparing such amount to the carrying amount of the assets. An impairment loss, if one exists, is then measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the discounted estimated future cash flows. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value of such assets less costs to sell. Asset impairment charges are recorded to reduce the carrying amount of the long-lived asset that will be sold or disposed of to their estimated fair values. Charges for the asset impairment reduce the carrying amount of the long-lived assets to their estimated salvage value in connection with the decision to dispose of such assets.
(p) Right-of-Use Assets
The Company leased a facility in Baltimore, Maryland under an operating lease (“2021 Baltimore Lease”) with annual rentals of $52,800 to $56,016 plus certain operating expenses. The 2021 Baltimore Lease took effect on November 17, 2021, for a term of 12 months with automatic renewals unless sixty-day notice is provided. The initial term expired on November 30, 2022. The lease renewed effective December 1, 2022, for a term of 12 months with automatic renewals unless a sixty-day notice was provided. The 2021 Baltimore Lease was terminated by the lessor on April 30, 2024.
The Company leased a facility in Baltimore, Maryland under an operating lease (“2024 Baltimore Lease”) with annual rentals of $32,400 plus certain operating expenses. The 2024 Baltimore Lease took effect on May 1, 2024, for a term of 12 months with automatic renewals unless sixty-day notice was provided. On February 26, 2025, the Company provided notice of its intention not to renew the Baltimore Lease, effective April 30, 2025.
In accordance with FASB ASC, Topic 842, Leases (“ASC 842”), which increases transparency and comparability by recognizing a lessee’s rights and obligations resulting from leases by recording them on the balance sheet as lease assets and lease liabilities. The guidance requires the recognition of the right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and related operating and finance lease liabilities on the balance sheet.
The Company utilizes the package of practical expedients permitted within the standard, which allows an entity to forgo reassessing (i) whether a contract contains a lease, (ii) classification of leases, and (iii) whether capitalized costs associated with a lease meet the definition of initial direct costs. Also, the Company elected the expedient allowing an entity to use hindsight to determine the lease term and impairment of ROU assets and the expedient to allow the Company to not have to separate lease and non-lease components. The Company has also elected the short-term lease accounting policy under which the Company would not recognize a lease liability or ROU asset for any lease that at the commencement date has a lease term of twelve months or less and does not include a purchase option that the Company is more than reasonably certain to exercise.
|
|
(p) Right-of-Use Assets, continued
For operating leases, the lease liability is initially and subsequently measured at the present value of the unpaid lease payments. The Company generally uses its incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate for leases, unless an interest rate is implicitly stated in the lease. The present value of the lease payments is calculated using the incremental borrowing rate for operating leases, which was determined using a portfolio approach based on the rate of interest that the Company would have to pay to borrow an amount equal to the lease payments on a collateralized basis over a similar term. The lease term for all the Company’s leases includes the non-cancellable period of the lease plus any additional periods covered by either a Company option to extend the lease that the Company is reasonably certain to exercise, or an option to extend the lease controlled by the lessor. All ROU assets are reviewed for impairment.
Lease expense for operating leases consists of the lease payments plus any initial direct costs and is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
The Company’s operating leases are comprised of the 2021 Baltimore Lease and the 2024 Baltimore Lease on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The information related to these leases is presented below:

(q) Income Taxes
The Company utilizes an asset and liability approach for financial accounting and reporting for income taxes. The provision for income taxes is based upon income or loss after adjustment for those permanent items that are not considered in the determination of taxable income. Deferred income taxes represent the tax effects of differences between the financial reporting and tax basis of the Company’s assets and liabilities at the enacted tax rates in effect for the years in which the differences are expected to reverse.
The Company evaluates the recoverability of deferred tax assets and establishes a valuation allowance when it is more likely than not that some portion or all the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Management makes judgments as to the interpretation of the tax laws that might be challenged upon an audit and cause changes to previous estimates of tax liability. In management’s opinion, adequate provisions for income taxes have been made. If actual taxable income by tax jurisdiction varies from estimates, additional allowances or reversals of reserves may be necessary.
Tax benefits are recognized only for tax positions that are more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by tax authorities. The amount recognized is measured as the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50 percent likely to be realized upon settlement. A liability for “unrecognized tax benefits” is recorded for any tax benefits claimed in the Company’s tax returns that do not meet these recognition and measurement standards. As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, no liability for unrecognized tax benefits was required to be reported.
|
|
(q) Income Taxes, continued
There was no income tax benefit recorded for the losses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 since management determined that the realization of the net deferred tax assets is not more likely than not to be realized and has recorded a full valuation allowance on the net deferred tax assets.
The Company’s policy for recording interest and penalties associated with tax audits is to record such items as a component of general and administrative expense. There were no amounts accrued for penalties and interest for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024. The Company does not expect its uncertain tax position to change during the next twelve months. Management is currently unaware of any issues under review that could result in significant payments, accruals or material deviations from its position.
The Company files U.S. federal income tax returns and state income tax returns. Since the Company had losses in the past, all prior years that generated net operating loss carryforwards are open and subject to audit examination in relation to the net operating loss generated from those years.
Basic earnings per Common Stock is based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the periods presented. Diluted earnings per share is computed using the weighted average number of Common Stock plus dilutive Common Stock equivalents outstanding during the period. Potential shares of Common Stock that would have the effect of increasing diluted earnings per share are considered anti-dilutive.
Diluted net loss per share is computed using the weighted average number of shares of Common Stock and dilutive potential Common Stock outstanding during the period.
As the Company reported a net loss for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, Common Stock equivalents were anti-dilutive.

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation under the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 718, “Compensation - Stock Compensation”, which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense for all stock-based awards made to employees and directors based on estimated fair values on the grant date. The Company estimates the fair value of stock-based awards on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes model. The value of the portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as expense over the requisite service periods using the straight-line method. In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-07, Compensation – Stock Compensation (“Topic 718”), Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting (the “2018 Update”). The amendments in the 2018 Update expand the scope of Topic 718 to include share-based payment transactions for acquiring goods and services from non-employees. Prior to the 2018 Update, Topic 718 applied only to share-based transactions to employees. Consistent with the accounting requirement for employee share-based payment awards, nonemployee share-based payment awards within the scope of Topic 718 are measured at grant-date fair value of the equity instruments that an entity is obligated to issue when the good has been delivered or the service has been rendered and any other conditions necessary to earn the right to benefit from the instruments have been satisfied.
The Company has elected to account for forfeiture of stock-based awards as they occur.
(t) Research and Development Costs
In accordance with FASB ASC 730, research and development costs are expensed as incurred and consist of fees paid to third parties that conduct certain research and development activities on the Company’s behalf.
(u) Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
As of September 30, 2025 and for the three and nine months then ended, there were no recently issued accounting pronouncements that had a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
(v) Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications were made to the reported amounts in these condensed consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2024 to conform to the presentation as of September 30, 2025.

Note 3 – Recent Developments, Liquidity and Management’s Plans
As of September 30, 2025, the Company’s cash on hand was $6.9 million and marketable securities were $3.1 million. The Company has incurred a net loss from operations of $5.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025. As of September 30, 2025, the Company had working capital of $4.6 million and stockholders’ equity of $14.3 million including an accumulated deficit of $137.6 million. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, cash flows used in operating activities were $5.9 million consisting primarily of a net loss of $5.7 million, Since its inception, the Company has met its liquidity requirements principally through the sale of its Common Stock and Preferred Stock in public and private placements.
As of June 30, 2025, the Company concluded that there was substantial doubt about the Company continuing as a going concern due to the lack of funds to cover estimated costs for the next 12 months. During the three months ended September 30, 2025, the Company raised $6.7 million through the issuance of preferred stock and received $2.7 million in proceeds from the exercise of warrants. As a result of these activities the Company has concluded that the substantial doubt has been alleviated as of September 30, 2025.
The Company evaluated the current cash requirements for operations in conjunction with management’s strategic plan and believes that the Company’s current financial resources as of the date of the issuance of these condensed consolidated financial statements are sufficient to fund its current operating budget and contractual obligations as of September 30, 2025 as they fall due within the next twelve-month period, alleviating any substantial doubt raised by the Company’s historical operating results and satisfying its estimated liquidity needs for twelve months from the issuance of these condensed consolidated financial statements.

Restricted Stock Units
On October 14, 2021, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors approved grants totaling 484 Restricted Stock Units to the Company’s then current six directors and then current seven key employees. Each RSU had a grant date fair value of $24,270.00 which will be amortized upon vesting into administrative expenses within the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Loss. Such RSUs were granted under the 2021 Plan. Vesting of each RSU is:
| ● | One-third (33%) of each RSU will vest when the Company’s market capitalization is equal to or greater than $500,000,000 for at least ten trading days during any twenty (20) consecutive trading day period ending on or after December 15, 2021 and the fair market value of the Common Stock equals or exceeds $150.00 during such trading day period. | |
| ● | One-third (33%) of each RSU will vest when the Company’s market capitalization is equal to or greater than $750,000,000 for at least ten trading days during any twenty (20) consecutive trading day period ending on or after December 15, 2021 and the fair market value of the Common Stock equals or exceeds $150.00 during such trading day period. | |
| ● | The remaining awarded units will vest when the Company’s market capitalization is equal to or greater than $1,000,000,000 for at least ten trading days during any twenty (20) consecutive trading day period ending on or after December 15, 2021 and the fair market value of the Common Stock equals or exceeds $150.00 during such trading day period. | |
| ● | In the event that (i) a change in control occurs or (ii) the participant incurs a termination of service by the Company without cause or due to the participant’s death or total and permanent disability, then all unvested units shall become vested units immediately upon the occurrence of such event. |
As of September 30, 2025, none of the vesting milestones have been met.
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company converted 10 vested RSUs issued in September 2020 to a member of the Board of Directors, into 10 shares of Common Stock of the Company. Expenses related to these RSUs had been recognized by pre-merger Akers Biosciences, Inc. in 2021 and prior years.

Conversion Rights
A holder of Series D Preferred Stock is entitled at any time to convert any whole or partial number of shares of Series D Preferred Stock into shares of the Company’s Common Stock, determined by dividing the stated value equal to $0.01 by the conversion price of $0.01 per share. A holder of Series D Preferred Stock is prohibited from converting Series D Preferred Stock into shares of Common Stock if, as a result of such conversion, the holder, together with its affiliates, would own more than 4.99% of the total number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock then issued and outstanding (with such ownership restriction referred to as the “Series D Beneficial Ownership Limitation”) immediately after giving effect to the issuance of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series D Preferred Stock. However, any holder may increase or decrease such percentage to any other percentage not in excess of 9.99%, provided that any increase in such percentage shall not be effective until 61 days after such notice to us. The conversion rate of the Series D Preferred Stock is subject to proportionate adjustments for stock splits, reverse stock splits and similar events, but is not subject to adjustment based on price anti-dilution provisions.

Voting Rights
Subject to the Series D Beneficial Ownership Limitation, on any matter presented to the Company’s stockholders for their action or consideration at any meeting of the Company’s stockholders (or by written consent of stockholders in lieu of a meeting), each holder, in its capacity as such, shall be entitled to cast the number of votes equal to the number of whole shares of the Company’s Common Stock into which the Series D Preferred Stock beneficially owned by such holder are convertible as of the record date for determining stockholders entitled to vote on or consent to such matter (taking into account all Series D Preferred Stock beneficially owned by such holder).

Liquidation Rights
Upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary, the holders of Series D Preferred Stock are entitled to receive, pari passu with the holders of Common Stock, out of the assets available for distribution to stockholders an amount equal to such amount per share as would have been payable had all shares of Series D Preferred Stock been converted into Common Stock immediately before such liquidation, dissolution or winding up, without giving effect to any limitation on conversion as a result of the Series D Beneficial Ownership Limitation, as described above.

As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company had 72,992 shares of Series D Convertible Preferred Stock outstanding which represent 13 underlying shares of the Company’s Common Stock.
Series F Convertible Preferred Stock

The Series F Preferred Shares are classified in temporary equity as the holder of the Series F Preferred Shares have the right to require the Company to redeem for cash all or any portion of each such holder’s shares upon the suspension from trading or the failure of the Common Stock to be trading or listed (as applicable) on an eligible trading market for a period of five (5) consecutive trading days. The Series F Preferred Shares are not unconditionally redeemable and are only conditionally puttable at the holder’s option upon this trading suspension or failure. This would not be considered to be within the Company’s control.
The Series F Preferred Shares were determined to be more akin to a debt-like host than an equity-like host. The Company identified the following embedded features that are not clearly and closely related to the debt host instrument: 1) make-whole interest upon a contingent redemption event, 2) make-whole interest upon a conversion event, 3) an installment redemption upon an Equity Conditions Failure (as defined in the Series F Certificate of Designations), and 4) variable share-settled installment conversion. These features were bundled together, assigned probabilities of being affected and measured at fair value. Subsequent changes in fair value of these features are recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Loss. The Company estimated at issuance the $3,149,800 fair value of the bifurcated embedded derivative using a Monte Carlo simulation model, with the following inputs; the fair value of the Company’s Common Stock of $190.00 on the issuance date, estimated equity volatility of 120.0%, estimated traded volume volatility of 190.0%, the time to maturity of 1.35 years, a discounted market interest rate of 6.8%, dividend rate of 10.0%, a penalty dividend rate of 15.0%, and probability of default of 0.5%. The fair value of the bifurcated derivative liabilities was estimated utilizing the with and without method which uses the probability weighted difference between the scenarios with the derivative and the plain vanilla maturity scenario without a derivative.

|
The discount to the fair value is included as a reduction to the carrying value of the Series F Preferred Shares. The Company recorded a total discount of $14,087,111 upon issuance of the Series F Preferred Shares, which was comprised of the issuance date fair value of the associated embedded derivative of $3,149,800, stock issuance costs of $314,311 and the fair value of the Series F Warrants of $10,623,000.
The Company performed an analysis of the change in fair value of the derivative liabilities pre and post the September 2, 2025 modification and determined the change in fair value to be immaterial. During the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company recorded gains of $0 and $0, respectively, related to the change in fair value of the derivative liabilities which is recorded in other income (expense) on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Loss. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company recorded gains of $0 and $0, respectively, related to the change in fair value of the derivative liabilities which is recorded in other income (expense) on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Loss. The Series F Preferred Stock were fully converted during the three months ended September 30, 2025. The derivative liability is reclassified to equity upon final conversion. Since the derivative had a fair value of $0 at time of conversion and there was no impact to equity.
The following are the principal terms of the Series F Preferred Shares:
Dividends
The holders of the Series F Preferred Shares are entitled to dividends of 10.0% per annum, compounded monthly, which are payable in cash or shares of Common Stock at the Company’s option, in accordance with the terms of the Series F Certificate of Designations.

Upon conversion or redemption, the holders of Series F Preferred Shares are also entitled to receive a dividend make-whole payment. During the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company recorded dividends totaling $408,247 and $625,382, respectively, which are reported as Preferred Stock Dividends on the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Loss. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company recorded dividends totaling $1,328,970 and $1,827,249, respectively, which are reported as Preferred Stock Dividends on the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Loss.
Liquidation
Upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary, each holder of the Series F Preferred Shares shall be entitled to receive out of the assets, whether capital or surplus, of the Company an amount per share of Series F Preferred Shares equal to the greater of (A) 125% of the stated value of such share of Series F Preferred Shares (plus any applicable make-whole amount, unpaid late charge or other applicable amount) on the date of such payment and (B) the amount per share such holder would receive if such holder converted such share of Series F Preferred Shares into Common Stock immediately prior to the date of such payment. All shares of capital stock of the Company shall be junior in rank to all Series F Preferred Shares with respect to the preferences as to payments upon liquidation.

On September 2, 2025, the Company entered into the September 2025 Omnibus Amendment with the Required Holders (as defined in each of (i) the Series F Certificate of Designations and (ii) the Series F-1 Certificate of Designations) pursuant to which, the Required Holders agreed to (i) amend and restate the Series F Certificate of Designations by filing a Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Designations of the Series F Preferred Stock with the Secretary of State, and (ii) amend and restate the Series F-1 Certificate of Designations by filing an Amended and Restated Certificate of Designations of the Series F-1 Preferred Stock with the Secretary of State. Each of the Second Amended and Restated Series F Certificate of Designations and the Amended and Restated Series F-1 Certificate of Designations (i) extend the maturity date of each of Series F Convertible Preferred Stock and Series F-1 Convertible Preferred Stock to March 2, 2027, and (ii) remove the amortization payments and related terms and covenants.
The shares of Series F-1 Preferred Stock are classified as temporary equity as the holders of the Series F-1 Preferred Stock have the right to require the Company to redeem for cash all or any portion of each such holder’s shares upon the suspension from trading or the failure of the Common Stock to be trading or listed (as applicable) on an eligible trading market for a period of five (5) consecutive trading days. The Series F-1 Preferred Stock is not unconditionally redeemable and is only conditionally puttable at the holder’s option upon this trading suspension or failure. This would not be considered to be within the Company’s control.
The estimated fair value of the Series F-1 Preferred Stock on the issuance date of approximately $9.3 million, was determined utilizing Monte Carlo simulations. The estimated aggregate fair value of the Series F-1 Warrants of approximately $7.9 million was determined utilizing the Black Scholes Model. The aggregate fair value of the Series F-1 Warrants exceeds the aggregate gross proceeds from the transaction as the Series F-1 Warrants were issued below fair market value of the Company’s Common stock. Further, the fair value of the derivative liability related to the Series F-1 Preferred Stock was determined to be approximately $0.9 million on the date of issuance.
The approximately $5.1 million stock discount (contra-Preferred Stock) resulting from (i) approximately $4.2 million related to the difference between the gross proceeds and the allocated residual fair value of the Series F-1 Preferred Stock (i.e., $0), and (ii) approximately $0.9 million related to the stock derivative at issuance, is accounted for as a reduction to the carrying value of the Series F-1 Preferred Shares and will be accreted from the issuance date to maturity in accordance with ASC 480-10-S99-3A as redemption is deemed probable pursuant to the Installment Redemption terms of the Series F-1 Certificate of Designations.
The Company performed an analysis of the change in fair value of the derivative liabilities pre and post the September 2, 2025 modification and determined the change in fair value to be immaterial. During the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company recorded a gains of $0 and $0, respectively, related to the change in fair value of the derivative liabilities, which is recorded in other income (expense) on the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Loss. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company recorded a gain of $1,303,000 and a loss of $367,000, respectively, related to the change in fair value of the derivative liabilities, which is recorded in other income (expense) on the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Loss. The Series F-1 Preferred Stock were fully converted during the three months ended September 30, 2025. The derivative liability is reclassified to equity upon final conversion. Since the derivative had a fair value of $0 at time of conversion and there was no impact to equity.

Upon conversion or redemption, the holders of the Series F-1 Preferred Stock are also entitled to receive a dividend make-whole payment. During the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company recorded dividends totaling $212,339 and $54,813, respectively, which are reported as Preferred Stock Dividends on the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Loss.

The Series G Conversion Price is subject to customary adjustments for stock dividends, stock splits, reclassifications and the like, and subject to price-based adjustment in the event of any issuances of Common Stock, or securities convertible, exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock, at a price below the then-applicable Series G Conversion Price (subject to certain exceptions).
On April 17, 2025, in connection with the issuance of stock options to certain officers of the Company, (i) the Series G Conversion Price was equal to $18.32 per share due to the full ratchet anti-dilution provisions contained in the Series G Certificate of Designations.

During the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company recorded dividends totaling $226,734 and $97,145, respectively, which are reported as Preferred Stock Dividends on the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Loss. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company recorded dividends totaling $688,070 and $97,145, respectively, which are reported as Preferred Stock Dividends on the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Loss.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company’s ability to settle conversions and make dividend make-whole payments using shares of Common Stock is subject to certain limitations set forth in the Series G Certificate of Designations. Further, the Series G Certificate of Designations contains a certain beneficial ownership limitation, which applies to each Series G Investor, other than PharmaCyte Biotech, Inc., after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series G Preferred Shares or as part of any dividend make-whole payment under the Series G Certificate of Designations.

All shares of capital stock of the Company shall be junior in rank to all shares of Series G Preferred Stock with respect to the preferences as to payments upon liquidation.
On June 17, 2024, the Company entered into an Amendment Agreement (the “Series G Amendment”) with the Required Holders (as defined in the Series G Certificate of Designations). Pursuant to the Series G Amendment, the Required Holders agreed to amend the Series G Certificate of Designations by filing a Certificate of Amendment (“Series G Certificate of Amendment”) to the Series G Certificate of Designations with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware (the “Secretary of State”) to increase the number of authorized shares of Series G Preferred Stock from 8,950 to 12,826,273, in order to authorize a sufficient number of shares of Series G Preferred Stock for the payment of PIK Shares. On June 17, 2024, the Company filed the Series G Certificate of Amendment with the Secretary of State, thereby amending the Series G Certificate of Designations. The Series G Certificate of Amendment became effective with the Secretary of State upon filing.
The shares Series G Preferred Stock are classified as temporary equity as the holders of the Series G Preferred Stock have the right to require the Company to redeem for cash all or any portion of each such holder’s shares upon the suspension from trading or the failure of the Common Stock to be trading or listed (as applicable) on an eligible trading market for a period of five (5) consecutive trading days. The Series G Preferred Stock is not unconditionally redeemable and is only conditionally puttable at the holder’s option upon this trading suspension or failure. This would not be considered to be within the Company’s control.
The estimated fair value of the Series G Preferred Stock on the issuance date of approximately $22.3 million, was determined utilizing Monte Carlo simulations. The estimated aggregate fair value of the Series G Warrants of approximately $14.1 million was determined utilizing the Black Scholes Model. The aggregate fair value of the Series G Warrants exceeds the aggregate gross proceeds from the transaction as the Series G Warrants were issued below fair market value of the Company’s Common stock.
The approximately $9.0 million stock discount (contra-Preferred Stock) resulting from the difference between the gross proceeds and the allocated residual fair value of the Series G Preferred Stock (i.e. $0) is accounted for as a reduction to the carrying value of the Series G Preferred Stock and is not accreted until redemption becomes probable in accordance with ASC 480-10-S99-3A.
Since the fair value of the liabilities required to be subsequently measured at fair value exceeds the net proceeds received, the excess of the fair value over the net proceeds received is recognized as a loss in earnings. As such, the Company recognized a loss on the issuance of preferred stock of approximately $5.1 million.
On August 8, 2024, the Company entered into an Amendment Agreement (the “August Series G Amendment”) with the Required Holders (as defined in the Series G Certificate of Designations). Pursuant to the August Series G Amendment, the Required Holders agreed to amend the Series G Certificate of Designations by filing a Certificate of Amendment (“August Series G Certificate of Amendment”) to the Series G Certificate of Designations with the Secretary of State to adjust the calculation of the PIK Shares.

Series H Preferred Stock
On September 2, 2024, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Series H Purchase Agreement”) with certain accredited investors (the “Series H Investors”) pursuant to which it agreed to sell to the Series H Investors (i) an aggregate of 7,000 shares of the Company’s newly-designated Series H Preferred Stock, initially convertible into up to 1,400,000 shares of Common Stock at an initial conversion price of $5.00 per share (the “Series H Conversion Shares”), and (ii) warrants to acquire up to an aggregate of 1,400,000 shares of Common Stock (the “Series H Warrants”) at an exercise price of $5.00 per share (collectively, the “Series H Private Placement”). The closing of the Series H Private Placement occurred on September 4, 2024 (the “Series H Closing Date”). The aggregate gross proceeds from the Private Placement were $7,000,000.
The Series H Conversion Price is subject to customary adjustments for stock dividends, stock splits, reclassifications and the like, and subject to price-based adjustment in the event of any issuances of Common Stock, or securities convertible, exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock, at a price below the then-applicable Series H Conversion Price (subject to certain exceptions). In September 2025, in connection with the 2025 Reverse Stock Split and pursuant to the full ratchet anti-dilution provisions contained in the Series H Certificate of Designations, the Series H Conversion Price was reduced to $3.3713 per share.
The holders of the Series H Preferred Stock are entitled to dividends of 7% per annum, compounded monthly, which will be payable in cash. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a Triggering Event (as defined in the Certificate of Designations of the Series H Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series H Certificate of Designations”)), the Series H Preferred Stock will accrue dividends at the rate of 15% per annum. The holders of the Series H Preferred Stock will be entitled to vote with holders of the Common Stock on as as-converted basis, with the number of votes to which each holder of Series H Preferred Stock is entitled to be calculated assuming a conversion price of $4.83 per share, which was the Minimum Price (as defined in Rule 5635 of the Rule of the Nasdaq Stock Market) applicable immediately before the execution and delivery of the Series H Purchase Agreement, subject to certain beneficial ownership limitations as set forth in the Series H Certificate of Designations. During the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company recorded dividends totaling $78,750 and $0, respectively, which are reported as Preferred Stock Dividends on the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Loss. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company recorded dividends totaling $78,750 and $0, respectively, which are reported as Preferred Stock Dividends on the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Loss.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company’s ability to settle conversions is subject to certain limitations set forth in the Series H Certificate of Designations, including a limit on the number of shares that may be issued until the time, if any, that the Company’s stockholders have approved the issuance of more than 19.99% of the Company’s outstanding shares of Common Stock in accordance with Nasdaq listing standards (the “September 2025 Stockholder Approval”). The Company has agreed to seek stockholder approval of these matters at a meeting to be held no later than November 16, 2025. Further, except with respect to Pharmacyte, the Series H Certificate of Designations contains a certain beneficial ownership limitation after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series H Certificate of Designations or Series H Warrants.
The shares of Series H Preferred Stock were determined to be more akin to a debt-like host than an equity-like host. The Company identified the following embedded features that are not clearly and closely related to the debt host instrument: 1) certain contingent redemption options, 2) optional conversion features inclusive of make-whole interest and 3) an increase in the dividend rate related to the occurrence of a triggering event. These features were bundled together, assigned probabilities of being affected and measured at fair value. Subsequent changes in fair value of these features are recognized in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. The Company estimated the $1,837,000 fair value of the bifurcated embedded derivative at issuance using a discounted cash flow scenario model, with the following inputs: the fair value of our common stock of $3.61 on the issuance date, estimated equity volatility of 100.0%, the time to maturity of 1.49 years, the redemption premium of 106%, a market interest rate of 19.51%, a risk-free rate of 3.61%, and dividend rate of 7%. The fair value of the bifurcated derivative liability was estimated utilizing the with and without method which uses the probability weighted difference between the scenarios with the derivative and the plain vanilla maturity scenario without a derivative.
The discount to the fair value is included as a reduction to the carrying value of the Series H Preferred Stock. During the three months ended September 30, 2025, the Company recorded a total discount of $4,472,000 upon issuance of the Series H Preferred Stock, which was comprised of the issuance date fair value of the associated embedded derivative of $1,837,000, stock issuance costs of $425,063, and amount allocated to the Series H Warrants of $2,209,937. As of September 30, 2025, it is probable that the Series H Preferred Stock will be redeemed. In accordance with ASC 480-10-S99-3A, the Company is accreting the discount using the effective interest method and $224,015 was recorded as a deemed dividend during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025.
In connection with the Series H Private Placement, the Company and the Series H Investors entered into that certain Registration Rights Agreement, dated as of September 2, 2025 (the “Series H Registration Rights Agreement,” and, together with the Series H Purchase Agreement, the Series H Certificate of Designations, and the Series H Warrants, the “Transaction Documents”), pursuant to which, the Company agreed to, among other things, prepare and file with the SEC a registration statement (the “Series H Registration Statement”) covering the resale of all of the Registrable Securities (as defined in the Series H Registration Rights Agreement) prior to the applicable Filing Deadline (as defined in the Series H Registration Rights Agreement).
On September 30, 2025, the Company entered into an Omnibus Waiver and Amendment (the “September 2025 Amendment”) with the Required Holders (as defined in the Series H Certificate of Designations). Pursuant to the Amendment, the Required Holders agreed (A) to amend (i) the Series H Certificate of Designations, as described below, by filing a Certificate of Amendment (“September 2025 Certificate of Amendment”) to the Series H Certificate of Designations with the Secretary of State, (ii) the Series H Purchase Agreement to amend the definition of “Excluded Securities” such that the definition includes the issuance of Common Stock issued after the date of the Series H Purchase Agreement pursuant to an Approved Stock Plan (as defined in the Series H Purchase Agreement) which in the aggregate does not exceed more than 15.0% of the sum of (x) shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding as of the date of the Series H Purchase Agreement, and (y) the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of certain of the Company’s outstanding shares of preferred stock (the “Excluded Securities Modification”), and (iii) the Series H Registration Rights Agreement such that the Series H Registration Statement is required to be filed with the SEC by the date that is 30 calendar days following the Series H Closing Date and (B) waive (i) any prohibitions or limitations under the Transaction Documents in connection with the issuance by the Company of certain warrants to purchase Common Stock to certain current and future consultants of the Company, (ii) any prohibitions or limitations under the Transaction Documents in connection with the registration of certain securities of the Company, and (iii) any failure by the Company to file the Series H Registration Statement by the Filing Deadline.
The September 2025 Certificate of Amendment amends the Series H Certificate of Designations to amend the definition of “Excluded Securities” substantially similar to the Excluded Securities Modification. On October 3, 2025, the Company filed the September 2025 Certificate of Amendment with the Secretary of State, thereby amending the Series H Certificate of Designations. The September 2025 Certificate of Amendment became effective with the Secretary of State upon filing.
Series I Preferred Stock
On September 2, 2025, the Company entered into that certain Membership Interest Purchase Agreement (the “MIPA”), by and among the Company, LPU Holdings LLC (“LPU”) and the members of LPU (the “Sellers”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to acquire 100% of the membership interests (the “Membership Interests”) of LPU from the Sellers (the “Acquisition”). As consideration for the Membership Interests, the Company delivered to the Sellers that number of shares of Series I Preferred Stock that is convertible into a number of shares of Common Stock equal to 747,362, subject to certain conversion limitations as described in the Certificate of Designations for the Series I Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series I Certificate of Designations”), which was filed and became effective with the Secretary of State on September 3, 2025.
The shares of Series I Preferred Stock are convertible into shares of Common Stock at the election of the holder at any time at an initial conversion price of $0.01 (the “Series I Conversion Price”), provided that, until the receipt of requisite stockholder approval of the Company for the issuance of all Series I Conversion Shares in excess of 19.99% of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company (the “MIPA Stockholder Approval”), the Company may not issue a number of Series I Conversion Shares which, when aggregated with any shares of Common Stock issued on or after the closing date and prior to the applicable conversion date in connection with any conversion of shares of Series I Preferred Stock issued pursuant to the MIPA, would exceed 357,052 shares of Common Stock (subject to adjustment for forward and reverse stock splits, recapitalizations and the like). The MIPA Stockholder Approval was obtained on November 14, 2025, at a special meeting of stockholders of the Company. The Series I Conversion Price is subject to customary adjustments for stock dividends, stock splits, reclassifications and the like.
The number of Series I Conversion Shares initially may not exceed 456,536 (the “Maximum Issuance”); provided, however, that (A) upon the issuance of Common Stock in connection with any conversions of the Series F Preferred Stock pursuant to the terms of Series F Certificate of Designations, the Series F-1 Preferred Stock pursuant to the terms of the Series F-1 Certificate of Designations, the shares of Series I Preferred Stock pursuant to the terms of the Series I Certificate of Designations (collectively, the Existing Preferred Stock”), and (B) upon the issuance of Common Stock in connection with any exercise, conversion or issuance of any securities exchanged for Existing Preferred Stock after the date of issuance of the Series I Preferred Stock (“Exchanged Securities”), the Maximum Issuance shall be increased to equal the sum of (i) the Maximum Issuance immediately prior to the date of such conversion plus (ii) 0.1999 shares of Common Stock for each share of Common Stock issued upon conversion, exercise or issuance of the applicable Existing Preferred Stock or Exchanged Securities.
Holders of Series I Preferred Stock are entitled to receive, and the Company shall pay, dividends as and when paid to the holders of Common Stock of the Company on an as-converted basis, ignoring for such purposes any limitations on conversion hereunder. Subject to applicable beneficial ownership limitations, on any matter presented to the stockholders of the Company for their action or consideration at any meeting of stockholders of the Company (or by written consent of stockholders in lieu of a meeting), each holder of Series I Preferred Stock, in its capacity as such, shall be entitled to cast the number of votes equal to the number of whole shares of Common Stock into which the Series I Preferred Stock beneficially owned by such holder are convertible as of the record date for determining stockholders entitled to vote on or consent to such matter (taking into account all Series I Preferred Stock beneficially owned by such holder).
The Series I Preferred Stock was determined to be more akin to an equity-like host than a debt-like host. There were no embedded derivative features identified requiring bifurcation. The Series I Preferred Stock is classified in mezzanine equity pursuant to ASC 480-10-S99 as it may be settled for cash upon an event outside of the Company’s control.
The Series I Preferred Stock was issued as consideration in connection with an asset acquisition (see Note 9) and was thus recognized at its issuance date fair value of $2,697,977. The Series I Preferred Stock was not considered to be probable of becoming redeemable at issuance or as of September 30, 2025, and thus its carrying value will not be adjusted.

The Series F Exercise Price and the number of shares issuable upon exercise of the Series F Warrants are subject to customary adjustments for stock dividends, stock splits, reclassifications and the like, and subject to price-based adjustment, on a “full ratchet” basis, in the event of any issuances of Common Stock, or securities convertible, exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock, at a price below the then-applicable Exercise Price (subject to certain exceptions). Upon any such price-based adjustment to the exercise price, the number of shares issuable upon exercise of the Series F Warrants will be increased proportionately.
Following the 2024 Reverse Stock Split, the exercise price of the Series F Warrants was reduced to $318.00 per share pursuant to the stock combination event adjustment provisions contained in the Series F Warrants and the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Series F Warrants was adjusted proportionately. In May 2024, in connection with the Private Placements, the exercise price of the Series F Warrants was reduced to $181.60 per share pursuant to the full ratchet anti-dilution provisions contained in the Series F Warrants and the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Series F Warrants was adjusted proportionately. On April 17, 2025, in connection with the issuance of stock options to certain officers of the Company and pursuant to the full ratchet anti-dilution provisions contained in the Series F Warrants, the exercise price of the Series F Warrants was reduced to $18.32 per share and the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Series F Warrants was adjusted proportionately. In September 2025, in connection with the 2025 Reverse Stock Split and pursuant to the stock combination event adjustment provisions contained in the Series F Warrants, the exercise price of the Series F Warrants was reduced to $3.3713 per share and the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Series F Warrants was adjusted proportionately.
The Series F Warrants were initially accounted for as liabilities based on the following analysis:
The Series F Warrants were determined to be within the scope of ASC 480-10 as they are puttable to the Company at the Holders’ election upon the occurrence of a Fundamental Transaction (as defined in the agreements). As such, the Company recorded the Series F Warrants as a liability at fair value with subsequent changes in fair value recognized in earnings. The Company utilized the Black Scholes Model to calculate the value of these warrants. The fair value of the Series F Warrants of $10,623,000 was estimated at the date of issuance using the following weighted average assumptions: dividend yield 0%; term of 5.0 years; equity volatility of 125.0%; and a risk-free interest rate of 4.09%.
Transaction costs incurred attributable to the issuance of the Series F Warrants of $762,834 were immediately expensed in accordance with ASC 480.
During the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company recorded a loss of $7,094,000 related to the change in fair value of the Series F Warrant liabilities through the March 31, 2024 reclassification of Series F Warrant liabilities to equity, which is recorded in other income (expense) on the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Loss (see below). The fair value of the Series F Warrants of $7,961,000 was estimated at March 31, 2024, utilizing the Black Scholes Model using the following weighted average assumptions: dividend yield 0%; remaining term of 3.90 years; equity volatility of 110.0%; and a risk-free interest rate of 4.31%.
On May 14, 2024, the Company entered into an Amendment (the “Series F Warrant Amendment”) with the Series F Investors in the February 2023 Offering, effective as of March 31, 2024. The Series F Warrant Amendment modified certain terms of the Series F Warrants relating to the rights of the holders of the Series F Warrants to provide that, in the event of a Fundamental Transaction (as defined in the Series F Warrants) that is not within the Company’s control, including the Fundamental Transaction not being approved by the Company’s Board of Directors, the holder of the Series F Warrant shall only be entitled to receive from the Company or any successor entity the same type or form of consideration (and in the same proportion), at the Black Scholes Value of the unexercised portion of such Series F Warrant, that is being offered and paid to the holders of the Company’s common stock in connection with the Fundamental Transaction, whether that consideration be in the form of cash, stock or any combination thereof, or whether the holders of Common Stock are given the choice to receive from among alternative forms of consideration in connection with the Fundamental Transaction; provided, further, that if holders of Common Stock of the Company are not offered or paid any consideration in such Fundamental Transaction, such holders of Common Stock will be deemed to have received common stock of the successor entity (which such successor entity may be the Company following such Fundamental Transaction) in such Fundamental Transaction. The modification resulted in the reclassification of the Series F Warrants to be considered equity classified as they were no longer in the scope of ASC 815. In accordance with ASC 815-40, the Company remeasured the Series F Warrant liabilities at $7,961,000 fair value as of March 31, 2024, the effective date of the modification, and recognized the $7,094,000 loss on the change in fair value and reclassified the $7,961,000 fair value of the Series F Warrants to additional paid-in capital as of March 31, 2024.
During the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, holders of Series F Warrants exercised 225,000 and 0 warrants for 225,000 and 0 shares of Common Stock, respectively. These transactions generated gross proceeds of $758,543 and 0- for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, holders of Series F Warrants exercised 225,000 and 0 warrants for 225,000 and 0 shares of Common Stock, respectively. These transactions generated gross proceeds of $758,543 and 0 for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
Series F-1 Warrants
Pursuant to the Series F-1 Private Placement, the Company issued to investors (i) the Series F-1 Long-Term Warrants to purchase 27,813 shares of Common Stock, with an initial exercise price of $181.60 per share (subject to adjustment), for a period of five years from the date of issuance and (ii) the Series F-1 Short-Term Warrants to purchase 27,813 shares of Common Stock, with an initial exercise price of $181.60 per share (subject to adjustment), for a period of eighteen months from the date of issuance. The exercise price of the Series F-1 Warrants and the number of shares issuable upon exercise of the Series F-1 Warrants are subject to customary adjustments for stock dividends, stock splits, reclassifications and the like, and subject to price-based adjustment, on a “full ratchet” basis, in the event of any issuances of Common Stock, or securities convertible, exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock, at a price below the then-applicable exercise price (subject to certain exceptions). Upon any such price-based adjustment to the exercise price, the number of shares issuable upon exercise of the Series F-1 Warrants will be increased proportionately.
On April 17, 2025, in connection with the issuance of stock options to certain officers of the Company and pursuant to the full ratchet anti-dilution provisions contained in the Series F-1 Warrants, the exercise price of the Series F-1 Warrants was reduced to $18.32 per share and the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Series F-1 Warrants was adjusted proportionately. In September 2025, in connection with the 2025 Reverse Stock Split and pursuant to the stock combination event adjustment provisions contained in the Series F-1 Warrants, the exercise price of the Series F-1 Warrants was reduced to $3.3713 per share and the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Series F-1 Warrants was adjusted proportionately.
Pursuant to the April 2025 Amendment Agreement, the Series F-1 Short-Term Warrants were extended to expire five years from the date of issuance.
On August 16, 2024, the Company entered into (i) an Amendment (the “Series F-1 Long Term Warrant Amendment”) with the Series F-1 Investors, effective as of June 30, 2024 relating to the Series F-1 Long Term Warrants, and (ii) an Amendment (the “Series F-1 Short Term Warrant Amendment” and, together with the Series F-1 Long Term Warrant Amendment, the “Series F-1 Warrant Amendments”) with the Series F-1 Investors, effective as of June 30, 2024 relating to the Series F-1 Short Term Warrants. The Series F-1 Warrant Amendments modified certain terms of the Series F-1 Warrants relating to the rights of the holders of the Series F-1 Warrants to provide that, in the event of a Fundamental Transaction (as defined in the Series F-1 Warrants) that is not within the Company’s control, including the Fundamental Transaction not being approved by the Company’s Board of Directors, the holder of the Series F-1 Warrant shall only be entitled to receive from the Company or any successor entity the same type or form of consideration (and in the same proportion), at the Black Scholes Value of the unexercised portion of such Series F-1 Warrant, that is being offered and paid to the holders of the Company’s Common Stock in connection with the Fundamental Transaction, whether that consideration be in the form of cash, stock or any combination thereof, or whether the holders of Common Stock are given the choice to receive from among alternative forms of consideration in connection with the Fundamental Transaction; provided, further, that if holders of Common Stock of the Company are not offered or paid any consideration in such Fundamental Transaction, such holders of Common Stock will be deemed to have received common stock of the successor entity (which such successor entity may be the Company following such Fundamental Transaction). Additionally, the Series F-1 Warrant Amendments amend the definition of Black Scholes Value related to the volatility input which is now an expected volatility equal to the 30 day volatility, obtained from the “HVT” function on Bloomberg (determined utilizing a 365 day annualization factor) as of the trading day immediately following the earliest to occur of (1) the public disclosure of the applicable Fundamental Transaction and (2) the date of a holder’s request. The modification resulted in the reclassification of the Series F-1 Warrants to be considered equity classified as they were no longer in the scope of ASC 815. In accordance with ASC 815-40, the Company remeasured the Series F-1 Warrants at fair value as of July 25, 2024 ($6,965,000), and recognized the $6,000 change in fair value as a non-cash loss and reclassified the Series F-1 Warrants to additional paid-in capital as of July 25, 2024.
The Series F-1 Preferred Shares were determined to be more akin to a debt-like host than an equity-like host. The Company identified the following embedded features that are not clearly and closely related to the debt host instrument: 1) make-whole interest upon a contingent redemption event, 2) make-whole interest upon a conversion event, 3) an installment redemption upon an Equity Conditions Failure (as defined in the Series F-1 Certificate of Designations), and 4) variable share-settled installment conversion. These features were bundled together, assigned probabilities of being affected and measured at fair value. Subsequent changes in fair value of these features are recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Loss. The Company estimated at issuance the $3,149,800 fair value of the bifurcated embedded derivative using a Monte Carlo simulation model, with the following inputs: the fair value of the Company’s Common Stock of $190.00 on the issuance date, estimated equity volatility of 120.0%, estimated traded volume volatility of 190.0%, the time to maturity of 1.35 years, a discounted market interest rate of 6.8%, dividend rate of 10.0%, a penalty dividend rate of 15.0%, and probability of default of 0.5%. The fair value of the bifurcated derivative liabilities was estimated utilizing the with and without method which uses the probability weighted difference between the scenarios with the derivative and the plain vanilla maturity scenario without a derivative.

Additionally, the Series G Warrant Amendments amend the definition of Black Scholes Value related to the volatility input which is now an expected volatility equal to the 60 day volatility, obtained from the “HVT” function on Bloomberg (determined utilizing a 365 day annualization factor) as of the trading day immediately following the earliest to occur of (1) the public disclosure of the applicable Fundamental Transaction and (2) the date of a holder’s request.

Litigation and Settlements
Raymond Akers Actions
On April 14, 2021, Raymond F. Akers, Jr., Ph.D. filed a lawsuit against the Company (f/k/a Akers Biosciences, Inc.) in the Superior Court of New Jersey, Law Division, Gloucester County (the “First Raymond Akers Action”). Dr. Akers asserts one common law whistleblower retaliation claim against the Company.
On September 23, 2021, the Court granted the Company’s Motion to Dismiss Plaintiff’s Amended Complaint and dismissed Plaintiff’s Amended Complaint. The Court indicated that Dr. Akers is “free to file another complaint, however, tort-based ‘Pierce’ allegations, and/or CEPA claims are barred by the statute of limitations.”
On March 1, 2022, Dr. Akers filed a second action against the Company in the Superior Court of New Jersey, Law Division, Gloucester County (the “Second Raymond Akers Action”) again asserting one common law whistleblower retaliation claim against the Company. The Company believes that the Second Raymond Akers Action was filed against the Court’s specific admonition that Plaintiff does not attempt to circumvent the statute of limitations.
On May 27, 2022, the Court granted-in-part and denied-in-part the Company’s Motion to Dismiss Plaintiff’s Complaint. The Court reaffirmed the ruling in the First Raymond Akers Action that any tort-based Pierce claims are time-barred. However, the Court denied the Motion as it pertained to Plaintiff’s contract-based Pierce claim and “Repayment of Monies Owed” claim. On July 29, 2022, the Company filed its Answer, which included affirmative defenses. As of September 30, 2025, the Second Raymond Akers Action is in the discovery phase.
All legal fees incurred were expensed as and when incurred. While no assurance can be provided, the Company does not believe that the current litigation will have a material impact on its financial condition or results of operations.

Note 9—Patent Assignment and Royalty Agreement
In November 2016, the Company entered into an agreement with the holders of certain intellectual property relating to the Company’s current product candidate. Under the terms of the agreement, the counterparty assigned its rights and interest in certain patents to the Company in exchange for future royalty payments based on a fixed percentage of future revenues, as defined. The agreement is effective until the later of (1) the date of expiration of the assigned patents or (2) the date of expiration of the last strategic partnership or licensing agreement including the assigned patents. No revenue has been received subject to this agreement for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024.
On September 2, 2025, the Company entered into a Membership Interest Purchase Agreement (the “MIPA”) whereas, the Company agreed to acquire 100% of the membership interests of LPU Holdings LLC from the Sellers, and entered into certain other related agreements, including (i) a Support Agreement, (ii) a Registration Rights Agreement, and (iii) a License Agreement, by and between LPU and LightSolver Ltd. (the “License Agreement”, and, collectively, with the MIPA, the “Acquisition”). The Acquisition closed on September 4, 2025 (the “Acquisition Closing Date”).
The Acquisition was accounted for as an asset acquisition pursuant to ASC 805-50 as all of the fair value was concentrated in a single intangible asset, the Exclusive License.
As consideration for the Membership Interests, the Company delivered to the Sellers 747,362 shares of Series I Convertible Preferred Stock, subject to certain conversion limitations as set forth in the Certificate of Designations of the Series I Convertible Preferred Stock (see Note 5).
The Acquisition price consisted of total upfront consideration comprised of $1.75 million in cash and 747,362 shares of the Company’s Series I Preferred Stock with a fair value of $2.70 million. In addition, the Company incurred approximately $0.26 million of acquisition costs, which are capitalized in an asset acquisition and included in the total consideration transferred.
Additionally, after the closing of the Acquisition, the Company is required to pay additional contingent consideration under both the MIPA and the License Agreement (the “Contingent Consideration”) upon the achievement of various specified milestones, including completion of an offering of the Company’s Common Stock or Common Stock equivalents (“Equity Offering”), which Contingent Consideration including certain specified cash payments, cash payments calculated based on any Equity Offering proceeds, shares of Common Stock that would result in the Sellers collectively beneficially owning specified percentage of the Company and warrants to purchase Common Stock. The Contingent Consideration was determined to be comprised of liabilities which meet the definition of a derivative under ASC 815, and was thus required to be recognized at its fair value at closing, with such fair value included as a component of the cost of the asset acquisition. The liability will then be remeasured each reporting period with changes in fair value recognized in earnings. As of the Acquisition Closing Date, the Company estimated the fair value of $9,380,000 using a probability-weighted discounted cash flow approach.
The following table presents the total purchase consideration and the allocation of the purchase consideration for the Acquisition as of September 2, 2025:
Schedule of allocation of the purchase consideration
| Acquisition Consideration (cash) | $ | 1,750,000 | ||

The total purchase price was allocated in its entirety to the exclusive license under the License Agreement. The agreement has no specified term and will only be terminated upon mutual agreement between the Company and Lightsolver, material breach of contract by either party, insolvency of either party, certain other failures to perform under the terms of the agreement, or at the Company’s convenience. As of the Acquisition date, the Company believes that the probability of termination under any of the above conditions is remote; the Company intends to hold the Exclusive License into perpetuity thus does not foresee a limit on the asset’s useful life as of the Acquisition Date. Management thus concludes that the Exclusive License is an indefinite-lived asset and will perform an annual assessment for impairment and will reassess whether events and circumstances indicate that the life of the asset is no longer indefinite each reporting period.
Note 10—Subsequent Events
On October 3, 2025, the Company filed the September 2025 Certificate of Amendment with the Secretary of State, thereby amending the Series H Certificate of Designations. The September 2025 Certificate of Amendment became effective with the Secretary of State upon filing. The September 2025 Certificate of Amendment amends the Series H Certificate of Designations to amend the definition of “Excluded Securities” substantially similar to the Excluded Securities Modification.

Overview
QCLS has historically been engaged in the development and commercialization of two therapeutic platforms based on well-defined targets: Isomyosamine and Supera-CBD. Recently, the Company has shifted its business strategy to focus on energy-efficient blockchain and cryptocurrency infrastructure through quantum-class laser-based computing. The Company’s core strategy leverages an exclusive global licensing agreement with LightSolver Ltd. (“LightSolver”) to deploy innovative laser processing units (“LPUs”), specifically the Company-branded qc-LPU100™ (“qc-LPU100”), which harnesses the natural properties of light with the goal of achieving high computational speed and energy efficiency. The qc-LPU100 is intended to address complex combinatorial and physical problems, such as partial differential equations, and is targeted for applications in cryptocurrency, decentralized physical infrastructure tokens (“DePin Tokens”), and artificial intelligence-driven high-performance computing that relies on decentralized networks. The Company seeks to position itself as a first-mover in bridging laser-based computing with cryptocurrency infrastructure, addressing industry challenges including high energy consumption, scalability limitations, and reliance on traditional graphics processing units (“GPUs”). LPUs are designed to operate at room temperature in standard rack-unit sizes and are intended to outperform GPUs and quantum processing units (“QPUs”) in speed, efficiency, and sustainability, while enhancing blockchain security.
The Company is evaluating the potential divestiture of Isomyosamine and Supera-CBD to fund its new strategic focus, with the objective of creating long-term stockholder value.
Business Strategy
Since September 2025, the Company has undertaken several initiatives to implement its strategic shift, including closing a $7.0 million private placement of Series H Preferred Stock, changing its corporate name and ticker symbol to QCLS to align branding with laser-based computing, appointing a senior quantum advisor, and initiating prototype development and validation of the qc-LPU100. These actions have redirected the Company’s resources from pharmaceutical research and development to technology adaptation. The Company continues to evaluate Isomyosamine and Supera-CBD for potential divestiture to maximize value. However, there can be no assurances that these efforts will be successful or that the Company will achieve the anticipated benefits from its strategic shift.
Over the next twelve months, the Company anticipates finalizing qc-LPU100 prototypes, conducting internal performance benchmarking for DePin Token and artificial intelligence high-performance computing applications, securing patents or extensions on intellectual property licensed under the agreement with LightSolver, leveraging the senior quantum advisor’s expertise for prototype optimization, and initiating pilot testing with select AI and DePin Token users. The Company also expects to explore strategic partnerships for proof-of-concept deployments and may raise additional financing through registered or private offerings. By the second half of 2026, the Company anticipates launching beta units to early adopters, obtaining regulatory certifications for hardware deployment, divesting non-core pharmaceutical programs to bolster cash reserves, and targeting initial revenue from sales and leasing of LPUs. By the end of 2026, the Company expects to deploy initial commercial clusters, expand marketing efforts to global cryptocurrency infrastructure participants, and monitor progress toward broader scale by the end of 2027.
Revenue Strategy
The Company plans to generate revenue primarily through direct sales, leasing, and licensing of qc-LPU100 units to AI and DePin Token users and cryptocurrency infrastructure participants. Potential revenue streams may include hardware sales, subscription-based access to LPU clusters, and royalties from integrated blockchain solutions. The Company anticipates that energy efficiency and performance improvements may provide cost savings to clients, which could drive adoption. Challenges to achieving revenue targets include securing additional capital amid cryptocurrency market volatility, technology validation risks, and potential non-compliance with Nasdaq listing requirements.
Market Opportunity
The Company’s focus on energy-efficient laser-based computing for cryptocurrency infrastructure intersects the broader blockchain and photonic integrated circuits (“PICs”) and silicon photonics markets. Growth in these markets is driven by the industry’s transition toward hybrid blockchain models and AI-blockchain convergence. The Company intends to target a meaningful market share for its LPUs, but there can be no assurances that it will achieve any specific market penetration.
Regulatory Considerations
The Company faces multi-layered hurdles at the intersection of crypto, hardware, and emerging quantum technology. The Company’s hardware may also be subject to export controls under the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) and Export Administration Regulations (EAR), as well as FCC and UL certifications for energy-efficient devices. Additional regulatory risks include evolving SEC and Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) guidance on DePin Tokens and cryptocurrency energy usage, and compliance with the European Union’s Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCA). Post-quantum cryptography standards, cybersecurity risks, and potential intellectual property enforcement challenges under the LightSolver license agreement may also impact operations. There can be no assurances that the Company will remain in compliance with applicable laws and regulations or that regulatory developments will not adversely affect its business.

License Agreement
Prior to entering into the MIPA, on September 2, 2025, LPU and LightSolver entered into a license agreement (as may be subsequently amended, supplemented, amended and restated or otherwise modified, the “License Agreement”). Pursuant to the License Agreement, Lightsolver granted LPU, amongst other things, an exclusive license to use and commercialize its proprietary laser processing hardware units (LPUs) specifically configured for cryptocurrency mining applications (the “Machines”) and its proprietary intangible technology necessary or useful to utilize the Machines (the “Technology”) solely for cryptocurrency mining applications.
In addition, pursuant to the License Agreement, Lightsolver agreed to perform certain development work to develop, customize, configure, and enhance its proprietary Machines and Technology for cryptocurrency mining applications, for which LPU will pay Lightsolver, upon the achievement of certain associated developmental milestones by Lightsolver, a total of up to $8,500,000 in non-recurring engineering fees. In addition to such non-recurring engineering fees, no later than one (1) business day after the effective date of the License Agreement, LPU agreed to make a one-time cash payment to Lightsolver equal to the greater of (i) 25% of the aggregate proceeds received by the Company from the Private Placement and (ii) $1,500,000. Furthermore, promptly upon the occurrence of any of the Milestone Events, LPU agreed to deliver, or cause to be delivered, to Lightsolver the consideration described above.
Going Concern
As of September 30, 2025, the Company’s cash on hand was $6.9 million and marketable securities were $3.1 million. The Company has incurred a net loss from operations of $5.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025. As of September 30, 2025, the Company had working capital of $4.6 million and stockholders’ equity of $14.3 million including an accumulated deficit of $137.6 million. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, cash flows used in operating activities were $5.9 million consisting primarily of a net loss of $5.7 million, Since its inception, the Company has met its liquidity requirements principally through the sale of its Common Stock and Preferred Stock in public and private placements.
The Company evaluated the current cash requirements for operations in conjunction with management’s strategic plan and believes that the Company’s current financial resources as of the date of the issuance of these condensed consolidated financial statements are sufficient to fund its current operating budget and contractual obligations as of September 30, 2025 as they fall due within the next twelve-month period, alleviating any substantial doubt raised by the Company’s historical operating results and satisfying its estimated liquidity needs for twelve months from the issuance of these condensed consolidated financial statements.
Financial Operations Overview
We will not generate meaningful revenue from product sales unless and until we successfully complete development, certification, pilot deployment, and commercialization of our laser-based computing products, including our qc-LPU100. Our ability to generate revenue from our new strategic focus depends on our capacity to finalize LPU prototypes, validate performance for blockchain, DePin Token, and artificial intelligence high-performance computing applications, secure applicable regulatory and hardware certifications, and achieve commercial adoption by early users. The development and commercialization of new photonic hardware systems require substantial time, engineering resources, and capital, and any delay or failure in these efforts would materially adversely affect our business.
Although our primary resources are now directed toward laser-based computing, we continue to own our historical Isomyosamine and Supera-CBD therapeutic platforms. We are evaluating strategic alternatives for these programs, including potential divestiture, partnering or licensing transactions intended to maximize their residual value.
As a result of anticipated expenditures in both our new laser-based computing operations and our efforts to preserve and monetize our legacy pharmaceutical assets, we will need substantial additional funding to support our continuing operations and pursue our growth strategy. If we are unable to raise additional capital on acceptable terms or at all, we may be required to delay or reduce planned development activities, defer commercialization milestones, or modify our strategic objectives.

The Series F Warrant Amendment modified certain terms of the Series F Warrants relating to the rights of the holders of the Series F Warrants to provide that, in the event of a Fundamental Transaction (as defined in the Series F Warrants) that is not within the Company’s control, including the Fundamental Transaction not being approved by the Company’s Board of Directors, the holder of the Series F Warrant shall only be entitled to receive from the Company or any successor entity the same type or form of consideration (and in the same proportion), at the Black Scholes Value of the unexercised portion of such Series F Warrant, that is being offered and paid to the holders of the Company’s common stock in connection with the Fundamental Transaction, whether that consideration be in the form of cash, stock or any combination thereof, or whether the holders of Common Stock are given the choice to receive from among alternative forms of consideration in connection with the Fundamental Transaction; provided, further, that if holders of Common Stock of the Company are not offered or paid any consideration in such Fundamental Transaction, such holders of Common Stock will be deemed to have received common stock of the successor entity (which such successor entity may be the Company following such Fundamental Transaction) in such Fundamental Transaction. The modification resulted in the reclassification of the Series F Warrants to be considered equity classified as they were no longer in the scope of ASC 815. In accordance with ASC 815-40, the Company remeasured the Series F Warrant liabilities at $7,961,000 fair value as of March 31, 2024, the effective date of the modification, and recognized the $7,094,000 loss on the change in fair value and reclassified the $7,961,000 fair value of the Series F Warrants to additional paid-in capital as of March 31, 2024.

The holders of the Series F-1 Preferred Stock are entitled to dividends of 10% per annum, compounded monthly, which are payable in arrears monthly in cash or shares of Common Stock at the Company’s option, in accordance with the terms of the Series F-1 Certificate of Designations. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a Triggering Event (as defined in the Series F-1 Certificate of Designations), the Series F-1 Preferred Stock will accrue dividends at the rate of 15% per annum.

In connection with the Series H Private Placement, we entered into the Series H Registration Rights Agreement, pursuant to which we are obligated, among other things, to (A) file a resale registration statement (the “Registration Statement”) with the SEC to register for resale promptly following the Series H Closing Date, but in no event later than 15 calendar days after the Series H Closing Date, the sum of (i) 200% of the maximum number of Series H Conversion Shares issuable upon conversion of the shares of Series H Preferred Stock ((x) assuming for purposes hereof that the shares of Series H Preferred Stock are convertible at the Floor Price (as defined herein) and (y) any such conversion shall not take into account any limitations on the conversion of the shares of Series H Preferred Stock set forth in the Series H Certificate of Designations) and (ii) 200% of the maximum number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the Series H Investor Warrants ((x) assuming for purposes hereof that such Series H Investor Warrants will be exercised at the initial exercise price as set forth in such Series H Investor Warrants and (y) any such exercise shall not take into account any limitations on the exercise of such Series H Investor Warrants as set forth therein), in each case subject to the adjustments set forth in the Series H Certificate of Designations and Warrants, (B) have such Registration Statement declared effective by the Effectiveness Deadline (as defined in the Series H Registration Rights Agreement and as may be amended from time to time), and (C) maintain the registration until the earlier of (x) the date on which the selling stockholders may sell their Series H Conversion Shares or shares issuable upon exercise of the Series H Investor Warrants without restriction pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act, and (y) the date on which the selling stockholders no longer hold any such Series H Conversion Shares or such Warrant Shares. The Company will be obligated to pay certain liquidated damages to the Series H Investors if the Company fails to file the Registration Statement when required, fails to cause the Registration Statement to be declared effective by the SEC when required, or fails to maintain the effectiveness of the Registration Statement pursuant to the terms of the Series H Registration Rights Agreement.
Shares of Series H Preferred Stock
All shares of capital stock of the Company rank junior to the shares of Series H Preferred Stock, with respect to the preferences as to dividends, distributions and payments upon the liquidation, dissolution and winding up of the Company. Further to the foregoing, shares of Series H Preferred Stock rank junior to shares of (i) Series F Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Company issued and outstanding pursuant to that certain Series H Certificate of Designations establishing the rights, preferences, restrictions and other matters relating to the Series F Preferred Stock, (ii) shares of Series F-1 Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Company issued and outstanding pursuant to that certain Series H Certificate of Designations establishing the rights, preferences, restrictions and other matters relating to the Series F-1 Preferred Stock, and (iii) shares of Series G Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Company issued and outstanding pursuant to that certain Series H Certificate of Designations establishing the rights, preferences, restrictions and other matters relating to the Series G Preferred Stock, in each case, with respect to the preferences as to dividends, distributions and payments upon the liquidation, dissolution and winding up of the Company.
Following the receipt of the Series H Stockholder Approval (as defined herein), the shares of Series H Preferred Stock became convertible into Common Stock at the election of the holder at any time at an initial Conversion Price of $5.00. The Conversion Price is subject to customary adjustments for stock dividends, stock splits, reclassifications, stock combinations and the like. The Conversion Price may also be voluntarily reduced by the Company to any amount and for any period of time deemed appropriate by the Board at any time with the prior written consent of the holders of at least a majority of the outstanding shares of Series H Preferred Stock, subject to the rules and regulations of Nasdaq.
The holders of the shares of Series H Preferred Stock are entitled to dividends of 7% per annum, compounded each calendar quarter, which are payable in arrears (i) on the first trading day of each quarter, commencing on October 1, 2025 and (ii) upon any redemption or any required payment upon any Triggering Event (as defined in the Series H Certificate of Designations). The holders of the shares of Series H Preferred Stock are also entitled to receive a dividend make-whole payment.
Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a Triggering Event, the shares of Series H Preferred Stock accrue dividends at the rate of 15% per annum. The holders of the shares of Series H Preferred Stock are entitled to vote with holders of the Common Stock on an as-converted basis, with the number of votes to which each holder of shares of Series H Preferred Stock is entitled to be calculated assuming a conversion price of $4.83 per share, which was the Minimum Price (as defined in Rule 5635 of the Rules of the Nasdaq Stock Market) applicable immediately before the execution and delivery of the Series H Purchase Agreement, subject to certain beneficial ownership limitations as set forth in the Series H Certificate of Designations.
The Series H Certificate of Designations includes certain Triggering Events (as defined in the Series H Certificate of Designations), including, among other things, the suspension from trading or the failure of our Common Stock to be trading or listed (as applicable) on an eligible market for a period of five (5) consecutive trading days and our failure to pay any amounts due to the holders of the shares of Series H Preferred Stock when due. Upon the occurrence of a Triggering Event, each holder of shares of Series H Preferred Stock will be able to require us to redeem in cash any or all of the holder’s shares of Series H Preferred Stock at a premium set forth in the Series H Certificate of Designations. Further, upon a Triggering Event, a holder of shares of Series H Preferred Stock, at such holder’s option, by delivery of a notice of conversion (“Triggering Event Conversion Notice”) to the Company, may convert all, or any number of shares of Series H Preferred Stock held by such holder into shares of Common Stock at a price equal to the lowest of (A) the applicable Conversion Price as in effect on the applicable date of conversion, and (B) $0.616, which was 20% of the “Minimum Price” (as defined in Nasdaq Stock Market Rule 5635) on the date in which the Series H Stockholder Approval (as defined herein) was obtained or, in any case, such lower amount as permitted, from time to time, by the Nasdaq Capital Market, and, in each case, subject to adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends, stock combinations, recapitalizations or other similar events, which are subject to certain adjustments as set forth in the Series H Certificate of Designations (the “Floor Price”), and (ii) 80% of the lowest volume weighted average price of the Common Stock of any trading day during the twenty (20) consecutive trading day period ending and including the trading day immediately preceding the delivery or deemed delivery of the applicable Triggering Event Conversion Notice.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, our ability to issue any shares of Common Stock upon conversion of any shares of Series H Preferred Stock or otherwise pursuant to the terms of the Series H Certificate of Designations is subject to certain limitations set forth in the Series H Certificate of Designations, including a limit on the number of shares that may be issued until the time, if any, that our stockholders have approved the issuance of the Conversion Shares and Investor Warrant Shares (the “Series H Stockholder Approval”). We have agreed to seek Series H Stockholder Approval of these matters at a meeting to be held no later than November 16, 2025. The Series H Stockholder Approval was obtained on November 14, 2025 at a special meeting of stockholders of the Company. Further, the Series H Certificate of Designations contains a certain beneficial ownership limitation which applies to each holder of the shares of Series H Preferred Stock, other than PharmaCyte Biotech, Inc. (“Pharmacyte”), after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the shares of Series H Preferred Stock.

The exercise price of each Warrant is subject to customary adjustments for stock dividends, stock splits, reclassifications, stock combinations and the like. Upon any such price-based adjustment to the exercise price, the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants will be increased proportionately. The exercise price may also be voluntarily reduced by the Company to any amount and for any period of time with the prior written consent of the holders of at least a majority of the outstanding Warrants, subject to the rules and regulations of Nasdaq. The Warrants may be exercised for cash, provided that, if there is no effective registration statement available registering the exercise of the Warrants, the Warrants may be exercised on a cashless basis.
MIPA
On September 2, 2025, the Company entered into the MIPA, by and among the Company, LPU and the members of LPU identified on the signature pages attached thereto, pursuant to which the Company agreed to acquire 100% of the membership interests of LPU from the Sellers.
As consideration for the Membership Interests, the Company delivered to the Sellers that number of shares of Series I Preferred Stock that is convertible into a number of shares of Common Stock equal to 747,362, subject to certain conversion limitations as described in the Series I Certificate of Designations.

Pursuant to the Advisory Agreement, the Company agreed to (i) pay Palladium a monthly retainer of $15,000 and (ii) issue to Palladium 15,433 shares of Common Stock of the Company, which shares shall be duly and validly issued following the date of the receipt of the MIPA Stockholder Approval. The Company also agreed to include such Advisory Shares in any resale registration statement filed by the Company.
Series I Registration Rights Agreement
As one of the conditions to the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the MIPA, the Company and the Sellers entered into the Series I Registration Rights Agreement, pursuant to which the Company is required to file a resale registration statement (the “Series I Registration Statement”) with the SEC to register for resale 100% of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series I Preferred Stock (the “Series I Conversion Shares”) promptly following the closing date of the Acquisition, but in no event later than 30 calendar days after the closing date of the Acquisition, and to have such Series I Registration Statement declared effective by the 60th calendar day following the filing date (or 90 days in case of a “full review” by the SEC) and (ii) the Milestone Securities and the Common Stock underlying the Milestone Securities, as applicable, promptly following the achievement of the applicable milestone, but in no event later than 30 calendar days following the applicable milestone, and to have such Series I Registration Statement declared effective by the 60th calendar day following the applicable filing date (or 90 days in case of a “full review” by the SEC).

Series I Convertible Preferred Stock
The shares of Series I Preferred Stock are convertible into shares of Common Stock at the election of the holder at any time at an initial conversion price of $0.01 (the “Series I Conversion Price”), provided that, until the receipt of requisite stockholder approval of the Company for the issuance of all Series I Conversion Shares in excess of 19.99% of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company, the Company could not issue a number of Series I Conversion Shares which, when aggregated with any shares of Common Stock issued on or after the closing date and prior to the applicable conversion date in connection with any conversion of shares of Series I Preferred Stock issued pursuant to the MIPA, would exceed 357,052 shares of Common Stock (subject to adjustment for forward and reverse stock splits, recapitalizations and the like). The requisite stockholder approval was obtained on November 14, 2025 at a special meeting of stockholders of the Company The Series I Conversion Price is subject to customary adjustments for stock dividends, stock splits, reclassifications and the like.
The number of Series I Conversion Shares initially could not exceed 456,536 (the “Maximum Issuance”); provided, however, that (A) upon the issuance of Common Stock in connection with any conversions of the Series F Preferred Stock pursuant to the terms of Series F Certificate of Designations, the Series F-1 Preferred Stock pursuant to the terms of the Series F-1 Certificate of Designations, the shares of Series I Preferred Stock pursuant to the terms of the Series I Certificate of Designations (collectively, the Existing Preferred Stock”), and (B) upon the issuance of Common Stock in connection with any exercise, conversion or issuance of any securities exchanged for Existing Preferred Stock after the date of issuance of the Series I Preferred Stock (“Exchanged Securities”), the Maximum Issuance shall be increased to equal the sum of (i) the Maximum Issuance immediately prior to the date of such conversion plus (ii) 0.1999 shares of Common Stock for each share of Common Stock issued upon conversion, exercise or issuance of the applicable Existing Preferred Stock or Exchanged Securities.
Holders of Series I Preferred Stock are entitled to receive, and the Company shall pay, dividends as and when paid to the holders of Common Stock of the Company on an as-converted basis, ignoring for such purposes any limitations on conversion hereunder. Subject to applicable beneficial ownership limitations, on any matter presented to the stockholders of the Company for their action or consideration at any meeting of stockholders of the Company (or by written consent of stockholders in lieu of a meeting), each holder of Series I Preferred Stock, in its capacity as such, shall be entitled to cast the number of votes equal to the number of whole shares of Common Stock into which the Series I Preferred Stock beneficially owned by such holder are convertible as of the record date for determining stockholders entitled to vote on or consent to such matter (taking into account all Series I Preferred Stock beneficially owned by such holder).
License Agreement
In connection to the transactions contemplated by the MIPA, prior to entering into the MIPA, on September 2, 2025, LPU and LightSolver entered into a license agreement. Pursuant to the License Agreement, Lightsolver granted LPU, amongst other things, an exclusive license to use and commercialize its proprietary laser processing hardware units (LPUs) specifically configured for cryptocurrency mining applications and its proprietary intangible technology necessary or useful to utilize the Machinessolely for cryptocurrency mining applications.
In addition, pursuant to the License Agreement, Lightsolver agreed to perform certain development work to develop, customize, configure, and enhance its proprietary Machines and Technology for cryptocurrency mining applications, for which LPU will pay Lightsolver, upon the achievement of certain associated developmental milestones by Lightsolver, a total of up to $8,500,000 in non-recurring engineering fees. In addition to such non-recurring engineering fees, no later than one (1) business day after the effective date of the License Agreement, LPU agreed to make a one-time cash payment to Lightsolver equal to the greater of (i) 25% of the aggregate proceeds received by the Company from the Private Placement and (ii) $1,500,000. Furthermore, promptly upon the occurrence of any of the Milestone Events, LPU agreed to deliver, or cause to be delivered, to Lightsolver the consideration described above.
Critical Accounting Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions about future events that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Future events and their effects cannot be determined with absolute certainty. Therefore, the determination of estimates requires the exercise of judgment. Actual results inevitably will differ from those estimates, and such differences may be material to the financial statements. The most significant accounting estimates inherent in the preparation of our financial statements include estimates associated with the determinations of the fair-market value of the preferred stock, stock-based compensation, and the impairment analysis of intangibles.

Our financial position, results of operations and cash flows are impacted by the accounting policies we have adopted. In order to get a full understanding of our financial statements, one must have a clear understanding of the accounting policies employed. A summary of our critical accounting policies is presented within the notes to our consolidated financial statements appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Our management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations is based on our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of our financial statements and related disclosures requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, costs and expenses, and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities in our financial statements. These items are monitored and analyzed by us for changes in facts and circumstances, and material changes in these estimates could occur in the future. We base our estimates on historical experience, known trends and events, and on various other factors that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. We evaluate our estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis. Our actual results may materially differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
Our critical accounting estimates have not changed materially from those previously reported in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, as filed with the SEC on April 11, 2025.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
Not applicable.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, after evaluating the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, have concluded that, based on such evaluation, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that 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 is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our last fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2025 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
From time to time we are a party to litigation and subject to claims incident to the ordinary course of business. Future litigation may be necessary to defend ourselves and our customers by determining the scope, enforceability, and validity of third-party proprietary rights or to establish our proprietary rights. For a description of certain legal proceedings, please read Note 6 to the interim condensed consolidated financial statements, which information is incorporated herein by reference.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
The following description of risk factors includes any material changes to, and supersedes the description of, risk factors associated with our business, financial condition and results of operations previously disclosed in “Item 1A. Risk Factors” of our Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 2024 on Form 10-K, as filed with the SEC on April 11, 2025. Our business, financial condition and operating results can be affected by a number of factors, whether currently known or unknown, including but not limited to those described below, any one or more of which could, directly or indirectly, cause our actual financial condition and operating results to vary materially from past, or from anticipated future, financial condition and operating results. Any of these factors, in whole or in part, could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, operating results and stock price.
The following discussion of risk factors contains forward-looking statements. These risk factors may be important to understanding other statements in this Form 10-Q. The following information should be read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes in Part I, Item 1, “Financial Statements” and Part I, Item 2, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” of this Form 10-Q.
We may not be able to adequately protect or enforce our intellectual property rights, which could harm our competitive position.
Our success and future revenue growth will depend, in part, on our ability to protect our intellectual property. We will primarily rely on patent, copyright, trademark, and trade secret laws, as well as nondisclosure agreements and other methods, to protect our proprietary technologies or processes. It is possible that competitors or other unauthorized third parties may obtain, copy, use or disclose proprietary technologies and processes, despite efforts by the us to protect our proprietary technologies and processes. While we hold rights in several patents, there can be no assurances that any additional patents will be issued, or additional rights will be granted, to us. Even if new patents are issued, the claims allowed may not be sufficiently broad to adequately protect our technology and processes. Our competitors may also be able to develop similar technology independently or design around the patents to which we have rights.
Currently, the Company has 19 issued U.S. patents, 70 foreign patents, and 4 foreign patent applications pending in such jurisdictions as Canada, China, Isreal, and Japan, which if issued are expected to expire between 2036 and 2041. Although we expect to obtain additional patents and in-licenses in the future, there is no guarantee that we will be able to successfully obtain such patents or in-licenses in a timely manner or at all. Further, any of our rights to existing patents, and any future patents issued to us, may be challenged, invalidated, or circumvented. As such, any rights granted under these patents may not provide us with meaningful protection. Even if foreign patents are granted, effective enforcement in foreign countries may not be available. If our patents or rights to patents do not adequately protect our technology or processes, competitors may be able to offer products similar to our products.
Holders of our shares of Series H Preferred Stock are entitled to certain payments under the applicable Series H Certificate of Designations that may be paid in cash, which may require the expenditure of a substantial portion of our cash resources.
Holders of our shares of Series H Preferred Stock are entitled to receive dividends of 7% per annum, compounded each calendar quarter, which are payable in arrears (i) on the first trading day of each quarter, commencing on October 1, 2025 (ii) upon any redemption or any required payment upon any Triggering Event (as defined in the Series H Certificate of Designations. The holders of the shares of Series H Preferred Stock are also entitled to receive a dividend make-whole payment. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a Triggering Event (as defined in the Series H Certificate of Designations), the shares of Series H Preferred Stock accrue dividends at the rate of 15% per annum. In connection with a Triggering Event, each holder of the shares of Series H Preferred Stock will be able to require us to redeem in cash any or all of the holder’s shares of Series H Preferred Stock at a premium set forth in the Series H Certificate of Designations. If such Triggering Event occurs, our financial condition and results of operations could be materially affected.
If we do not have sufficient cash resources to make these payments, we may need to raise additional equity or debt capital, and we cannot provide any assurance that we will be successful in doing so. If are unable to raise sufficient capital to meet our payment obligations, we may need to delay, reduce or eliminate certain research and development programs or other operations, sell some or all of our assets or merge with another entity. Our ability to make payments due to the holders of our shares of Series H Preferred Stock using cash is also limited by the amount of cash we have on hand at the time such payments are due as well as certain provisions of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”).

The shares of Series H Preferred Stock and the Series H Warrants contain certain anti-dilution provisions, which may dilute the interests of our stockholders, depress the price of our Common Stock, and make it difficult for us to raise additional capital.
Certain events, for example, a Stock Combination Event (as defined in the Series H Certificate of Designations) may reduce the conversion price of the shares of Series H Preferred Stock, which in turn may lead to further dilution to the holders of our Common Stock. The Series H Series H Warrants additionally contain anti-dilution provisions applicable to the exercise price. If in the future, while any of the Series H Warrants are outstanding, we may be required upon the occurrence of certain events, to adjust the exercise price of the Series H Warrants, and simultaneously with any adjustment to the exercise price, the number of shares of Common Stock that may be purchased upon exercise of the Series H Warrants shall be increased or decreased proportionately, so that after such adjustment the aggregate exercise price payable thereunder for the adjusted number of shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the Series H Warrants shall be the same as the aggregate exercise price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment. Such adjustments can dilute the book value per share of Common Stock and reduce any proceeds we may receive from the exercise of the Series H Warrants. In addition, the perceived risk of dilution may cause our shareholders to be more inclined to sell their Common Stock, which may in turn depress the price of common shares regardless of our business performance. We may also find it more difficult to raise additional equity capital while any of the Series H Warrants and the shares of Series H Preferred Stock remain outstanding.
The Series H Certificate of Designations contains restrictive covenants and terms that may make it difficult to procure additional financing and that may affect our financial condition and results of operations.
The Series H Certificate of Designations contains certain restrictive covenants including but not limited to, maintaining a Cash Minimum (as defined in the Series H Certificate of Designations), restrictions on incurring any indebtedness until the date on which no shares of Series H Preferred Stock are outstanding, subject to certain exceptions, restrictions on directly or indirectly, redeeming, repurchasing or declaring or paying any cash dividend or distribution on any of our capital stock (other than as required by the Series H Certificate of Designations and subject to certain exceptions as set forth therein), and restrictions on directly or indirectly, permitting any of our indebtedness to mature or accelerate prior to the Maturity Date (as defined in the Series H Certificate of Designations). Additionally, the shares of Series H Preferred Stock also contains certain purchase rights (the “Purchase Rights”) permitting the holders of the shares of Series H Preferred Stock to acquire upon the terms applicable to such Purchase Rights, the aggregate Purchase Rights which such holder could have acquired if such holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon complete conversion of all of its shares of Series H Preferred Stock. These restrictive covenants may limit our flexibility in raising capital or incurring any indebtedness, which may have an adverse effect on our financial condition.
Under the Series H Purchase Agreement, we are subject to certain restrictive covenants that may make it difficult to procure additional financing.
The Series H Purchase Agreement contains, among others, the following restrictive covenants: (A) unless Stockholder Approval is obtained, the Company may not effect (i) any Dilutive Issuance (as defined in the Series H Certificate of Designations) or (ii) without the prior written consent of the Required Holders (as defined in the Series H Certificate of Designations), issue or sell (or enter into any agreement or publicly announce the intention to grant, issue or sell) securities containing any anti-dilution price-based adjustments, (B) until ninety (90) days following the earlier of (x) the date on which this registration statement is declared effective or (y) the date on which the selling stockholders may sell their shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series H Preferred Stock or shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Investor Series H Warrants without restriction pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act, we may not issue, offer, sell, grant any option or right to purchase, or otherwise dispose of (or announce any issuance, offer, sale, grant of any option or right to purchase or other disposition of) any equity security or any equity-linked or related security, (C) until all of the Investor Series H Warrants are no longer outstanding, we shall be prohibited from effecting or entering into an agreement to effect any subsequent placement involving a variable rate transaction, and (D) until the later of (i) the Maturity Date (as defined in the Series H Certificate of Designations), and (ii) the date in which no shares of Series H Preferred Stock remain outstanding, the Company must provide the holders of the shares of Series H Preferred Stock the opportunity to participate in any subsequent securities offerings by us.
If we require additional funding while these restrictive covenants remain in effect, we may be unable to effect a financing transaction on terms acceptable to us, or at all, while also remaining in compliance with the terms of the Series H Purchase Agreement, or we may be forced to seek a waiver from the investors party to the Series H Purchase Agreement, which such investors are not obligated to grant to us.
We have recently shifted our business strategy from pharmaceutical development to laser-based computing for blockchain and high-performance computing, and we may not successfully develop, validate or commercialize our new technology.
We have historically focused on pharmaceutical research and development of our Isomyosamine and Supera-CBD product candidates. Beginning in September 2025, we redirected our strategy toward energy-efficient blockchain and cryptocurrency infrastructure using laser-based computing. However, the qc-LPU100 prototypes we are developing remain in early-stage development, have not completed performance validation or regulatory certifications, and may not achieve the speed, efficiency, scalability, or energy-consumption improvements we anticipate.
If the qc-LPU100 or future LPUs do not perform as expected, cannot be manufactured at commercial scale, or fail to gain adoption from AI, DePin Token, or cryptocurrency infrastructure users, our business prospects and financial condition would be materially adversely affected. Furthermore, our lack of operating history in the technology hardware, photonics, and blockchain markets increases the uncertainty of our ability to execute this new strategy.
Our business depends on our exclusive global licensing agreement with LightSolver, and loss of access to this technology or disputes regarding intellectual property could materially and adversely affect our operations.
Our core strategy relies on an exclusive global license with LightSolver Ltd. to deploy their LPU technology, including the photonic methodologies needed for the qc-LPU100. We depend on LightSolver for certain intellectual property, know-how, improvements, and ongoing collaboration. Any limitation, interruption, or termination of this license agreement would materially impair our ability to develop or commercialize LPUs.
We may also face risks relating to technology transfer, integration of LightSolver’s photonic systems into our hardware platforms, failure to obtain new patents or extensions, and potential intellectual property disputes. If we are unable to secure, maintain, or enforce the intellectual property rights necessary to support our product roadmap, or if LightSolver is unable to meet its obligations or experiences financial or operational difficulties, our commercialization efforts could be delayed or rendered infeasible.
We may require significant additional capital to develop the qc-LPU100, finance pilot deployments, and execute our hardware commercialization plan, and we may be unable to obtain such capital on acceptable terms or at all.
Our shift to laser-based computing for blockchain, DePin Token infrastructure, and AI requires significant capital for prototype development, performance benchmarking, pilot testing, hardware certifications, manufacturing and scaling deployment clusters. Additional capital will likely be needed to fund operations through prototype completion, beta-unit deployment, and early commercialization, particularly given the volatility and cyclicality of the cryptocurrency sector.
Equity or debt financing may be unavailable or may occur on dilutive or unfavorable terms. Our ability to raise capital may be constrained by our prior going-concern history and our strategic transition. If we cannot secure additional financing, we may be forced to delay or reduce prototype development, defer regulatory certifications, scale back commercialization efforts, or cease operations.
Our focus on blockchain and cryptocurrency infrastructure exposes us to regulatory, cybersecurity, and market risks that could materially impact adoption of our technology.
Our intended deployment of LPUs for cryptocurrency mining, DePin Token infrastructure, decentralized computing, and AI applications subjects us to evolving regulatory frameworks across multiple jurisdictions. These include potential export controls under ITAR and the Export Administration Regulations, FCC and UL hardware requirements, SEC and CFTC scrutiny regarding cryptocurrency activities, EU MiCA regulations, and emerging standards for post-quantum cryptography.
Regulatory changes affecting energy consumption, decentralized computing, or blockchain infrastructure could limit the market for our products or impose compliance burdens. Additionally, DePin Token networks and blockchain applications present cybersecurity, data-integrity, and operational risks that may require substantial resources to mitigate. Any adverse regulatory development, failure to achieve or maintain required certifications, or inability to address cybersecurity risks could delay commercialization or reduce customer adoption of the qc-LPU100.
