We have attracted accomplished thought leaders, scientists, engineers and financial experts to our management and professional staff, Board of Directors, Technical Advisory Board, and Advisory Team.  We anticipate during the second half of 2023 that we will deliver the Company's first meaningful revenue."

Second Quarter and First Half 2023 Financial Highlights

P&L

Revenue:

• Second quarter 2023 revenues totaled approximately $112,000 (54.4% gross margin) compared to $65,000 (92.0% gross margin) generated in the second quarter 2022 and $121,000 (53.3% gross margin) revenue for the first quarter 2023. The increase in revenues is primarily due to changes in the number and size of active customer contracts and the level of completion accomplished. As the Company's gross margin is mainly a function of direct labor cost, revenue generated on current projects required higher skill-sets, reducing the gross margin level from the previous year. While the company's revenue will include the sale of hardware and the rendering of professional services, revenue during the first half of the year was driven by professional services provided to multiple government and commercial customers under multi-month contracts.
  
  
• For the six months of 2023, revenues totaled approximately $233,000, an increase of 141% over prior year's six-month period. As the Company has only recently entered its commercialization phase, revenues were expected to be minimal during the first half of 2023; however, as contracted testing and a backlog of proof-of-concept projects demonstrate positive results, the Company anticipates increasing revenue sequentially as the year progresses and into 2024.

Operating Expenses:

• Second quarter 2023 operating expenses totaled $3.9 million compared to the previous year's second quarter operating expenses of $4.9 million and $7.9 million for the first quarter 2023. The roughly $1.0 million year-over-year decrease in expenses is due in large part to the $2.4 million decrease in other SG&A costs driven by QPhoton merger-related expenditures for legal expenses and intangible asset adjustments, partly offset by an increase of $734,000 in R&D for additional technical labor and parts required to design and test new hardware products, and an increase of $795,000 in overall compensation expense. The increase in compensation expenses is partly offset by reduced reliance on consulting and professional services as the Company shifts core responsibilities in-house.
  
  
• Operating expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2023, totaled $11.8 million, an increase of approximately $175,000 over prior year's six-month period principally due to an increase in R&D of $1.2 million to design and test new hardware products partially offset by a $873,000 reduction in costs associated with the QPhoton merger.
  
  
• The Company's average monthly cash burn during second quarter 2023 was approximately $1.69 million, an increase of $106,000 over the prior year's second quarter results, or roughly 6.7%, and an increase of approximately $119,000, or 7.5%, compared to the average monthly cash burn for the first quarter 2023.  The increase in monthly cash burn is primarily due to additional quantum engineering hires and building out operational support for the increase in product launches.  The level of monthly cash expenditure is expected to hold relatively steady for the foreseeable future.

Net Results:

• The Company reported a net loss of $4.6 million, or $(0.07) per basic share for the second quarter of 2023, compared to a net loss of $5.1 million or $(0.17) per basic share for the same period of the previous year. The $462,000 year-over-year decrease is primarily due to a decrease in operating expenses offset by an increase of $487,000 in financings costs related to interest on the company's promissory notes and fees for At-the-Market (ATM) facility. The Company's second quarter losses declined approximately $3.9 million compared to first quarter 2023 due largely to adjustments related to the QPhoton acquisition, as well as the final payment of non-recurring, merger-related costs that occurred in the first quarter 2023.
  
  
• For the first six months of 2023, the net loss totaled $13.1 million, or $(0.20) per basic share, compared to a net loss of $12.2 million, or $(0.42) per basic share in the prior year's six-month period. The increase in net loss is largely due to the decreased operating expenses for QPhoton merger-related costs, offset by an increase of $781,000 in other expenses related predominately to interest on short-term promissory notes and an increase in financing costs related to first time use of the ATM facility. As of June 30, 2023, the Company's tax loss carry forwards was approximately $11.7 million.

Balance Sheet

Assets:

• As of June 30, 2023, cash and cash equivalents increased $1.9 million to $7.2 million from the beginning of 2023, which is net of the note receivable of approximately $505,000 invested to secure the Company's right of first refusal to potentially acquire millionways, Inc. ("millionways") and a reduction of $668,655 in account payable and accrued expenses. The net increase in cash and cash equivalents reflects the $14.7 million in capital secured from the Company's ATM offering during the first six months of 2023.
  
  
• Total assets declined $653,000 to $88.6 million on June 30, 2023, primarily driven by a reduction of Goodwill for forfeitures of QPhoton merger warrants totaling $3.6 million, offset by the $1.9 million net increase in cash and cash equivalents, the $505,000 investment in millionways, and net property and plant additions of $476,000.

Liabilities: 

• Total liabilities decreased $2.7 million to approximately $11.7 million compared to year-end 2022, driven by the Company's continued repayment of its debt, which began March 2023, as well as payment of final expenses related to the QPhoton merger. As of June 30, 2023, the Company held no long-term debt and approximately $6.5 million in unsecured short-term promissory notes.

Shareholders' Equity: 

• As of June 30, 2023, the Company had positive shareholder equity totaling $76.9 million, a 2.7% increase from December 31, 2022.

Capitalization:

• As of June 30, 2023, the Company had approximately 67.2 million shares of common stock outstanding, an increase of approximately 6.7 million shares during the second quarter.  This increase is attributed to the sale of shares through the ATM facility and shares issued as compensation for services related to the QPhoton merger. As of August 10, 2023, the Company has approximately $77.5 million remaining on its shelf registration that went effective November 8, 2022. The Company's current shares outstanding totals approximately 74.3 million shares of common stock outstanding. 
  
  
• As of June 30, 2023, the Company's fully diluted shares totaled approximately 88.9 million, which included 13.7 million stock options of which approximately 54% have vested (average exercise price $3.33), 1.6 million warrants (average exercise price $6.93), 4.9 million cashless warrants to pre-merger shareholders of QPhoton, and 1.6 million shares underlying Series A Preferred stock (on an as converted basis). In the event that all options and cash warrants were to be exercised, the Company would receive an additional $56.7 million in cash.

Subsequent Financial Developments:

• The Company repaid $1.5 million of principal and accrued interest on the Company's unsecured Note for a cumulative total repayment of $4.0 million as of August 10, 2023. The Company's remaining principal and accrued interest on the Note totals approximately $4.9 million.
  
  
• In preparation for its entry into quantum chip manufacturing, the Company placed deposits totaling approximately $1.3 million to secure long-lead equipment for its planned fabrication facility in Arizona where it will produce Lithium Niobate optical chips for quantum information processing and other single photon detection and sensing applications. The purchase of these long lead items is expected to enable the Company to enter quantum chip manufacturing in the first half of 2024.
  
  
• The Company issued 1.5 million shares of restricted common stock with a five-year vesting period to five key technical staff employees as long-term incentive bonuses. These shares will vest in equal amounts over the 5-year term and are subject to the grantee continuing to perform services for the Company in the capacity in which the grant was received.
  
  
• The Company secured approximately $7.8 million in gross proceeds through the sale of common stock via its ATM facility at an average price of $1.40 during the period July 1, 2023 through August 9, 2023. As of August 10, 2023, the Company's cash and cash equivalents total approximately $10.1 million.
