Executive summary
Q3 net sales rose 24.6% YoY to $1,145,676, the first quarterly YoY increase of 2026; net loss narrowed 46.0% to $2,516,509, while gross margin remained negative at 39.2%.
9M net sales fell 33.4% to $3,867,534 and net loss increased 5.6% to $8,565,051; substantial doubt about going-concern viability remains despite improved liquidity.
Strategy targets pharmaceutical, semiconductor, industrial and defense markets, with increasing resources for directed-energy products and Quantum Bullet development.
Financial highlights
Q3 net sales were $1,145,676 vs. $919,284 YoY; gross loss was $449,247 vs. $433,596.
Q3 operating expenses declined 33.9% to $1,840,594; operating loss narrowed to $2,289,841 from $3,217,000, and net loss to $2,516,509 from $4,655,608.
9M net sales were $3,867,534 vs. $5,808,541; operating loss increased to $7,277,776 from $5,752,528, and net loss to $8,565,051 from $8,110,233.
9M sales declines included lower laser-cleaning systems and services and the absence of $791,992 in prior-year affiliate revenue.
Net interest expense declined 86% YoY following 2026 debt repayments; Q3 and 9M other expense included registration charges partly offset by derivative remeasurement gains.
Outlook and guidance
Q4 priorities include aligning costs with sales, improving capacity utilization and sales processes, and strengthening internal controls and external reporting; no quantitative financial guidance was issued.
Near-term goal is operating cash flow breakeven; priorities include converting the order book into deliveries and revenue and applying disciplined, gated investment to technology development.
Quantum Bullet LSAD was planned for introduction at I/ITSEC, Nov. 30-Dec. 3, 2026; commercialization depends on further development, integration, testing and customer acceptance.
Additional financing is expected to be needed over the next 12 months for operations and planned expenditures; management plans to assess debt and equity alternatives.
