Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

1.The Company and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Nature of Operations
QT Imaging Holdings, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the “Company”), formerly known as GigCapital5, Inc. (“GigCapital5”), is incorporated in Delaware with headquarters in Novato, California. The Company is a medical device company engaged in research, development, and commercialization of innovative body imaging systems using low frequency sound waves. The Company strives to improve global health outcomes. Its strategy is predicated upon the fact that medical imaging is critical to the detection, diagnosis, and treatment of disease and that it should be safe, affordable, accessible, and centered on the patient’s experience. The Company’s initial product is a breast imaging system.
On March 4, 2024 (the “Closing Date” or “Merger Date”), QT Imaging, Inc. (“QT Imaging”), GigCapital5, and QTI Merger Sub, Inc. (“QTI Merger Sub”) pursuant to the terms of the Business Combination Agreement (the “Business Combination Agreement”) dated December 8, 2022, completed the business combination of QT Imaging and GigCapital5 which was effected by the merger of QTI Merger Sub with and into QT Imaging, with QT Imaging surviving the merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of GigCapital5 (the “Merger,” and, together with the other transaction contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement, the “Business Combination”). Upon completion of the Merger on March 4, 2024, GigCapital5 changed its name to QT Imaging Holdings, Inc. and effectively assumed all of QT Imaging’s material operations. Refer to Note 2 - Business Combination for more information regarding the Merger.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) applicable to interim financial statements. Accordingly, certain information related to significant accounting policies and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2024 and the related notes which provide a more complete discussion of the Company's accounting policies and certain other information. The December 31, 2024 condensed consolidated balance sheet was derived from the Company's audited consolidated financial statements.
These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the annual consolidated financial statements and, in the opinion management, reflect all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the Company's condensed consolidated results for the periods presented. The condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss for the three months ended March 31, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2025 or for any other future annual or interim period.
The share and per share amounts, prior to the Merger, have been retrospectively restated as shares reflecting conversion at the exchange ratio of approximately 0.3427 established in the Business Combination Agreement.
Principles of Consolidation
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of QT Imaging Holdings, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, QT Imaging and QT Ultrasound Labs, Inc. (“QT Labs”). All intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.
Liquidity
The Company has incurred net operating losses and negative cash flows from operations since its inception and had an accumulated deficit of $43,076,527 as of March 31, 2025. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company incurred a net loss of $11,136,000 and used $3,536,799 of cash in operating activities. The Company expects to continue to incur losses, and its ability to achieve and sustain profitability will depend on the achievement
of sufficient revenues to support the Company’s cost structure. The Company may never achieve profitability and, unless and until it does, the Company will need to continue to raise additional capital.
On February 26, 2025, the Company entered into a credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) that provides a senior secured term loan (the “Lynrock Lake Term Loan”) with Lynrock Lake Master Fund LP (“Lynrock Lake”) for a term loan in the aggregate principal amount of $10.1 million and repaid the secured note purchase agreement (the “Cable Car Note”) with Funicular Funds, LP (“Cable Car”) issued in February 2024, and fully settled its obligations under the promissory note (the “Yorkville Note”) issued to YA II PN, LTD (“Yorkville”) on March 4, 2024 and terminated the Standby Equity Purchase Agreement (the “SEPA”) with Yorkville by paying $3.0 million in cash and issuing a 5-year warrant to purchase 15 million shares of common stock. Net of these payments, the Company had $5.4 million of net proceeds for working capital purposes. On April 24, 2025, the Company received an additional $500,000 from related persons in exchange for issuance of shares of common stock plus warrants for the purchase of common stock in another Private Investment in Public Entity (“PIPE”) for working capital purposes. On May 12, 2025, the Company entered into a subscription agreement for another PIPE investment in an amount of approximately $200,000 that is expected to be closed no later than May 19, 2025, pursuant to which the Company will issue shares of common stock plus warrants for the purchase of common stock. The proceeds of this PIPE investment will be used for working capital purposes.
The Distribution Agreement, as amended on March 28, 2025 (the “Amended Distribution Agreement”) between the Company and NXC Imaging, Inc. (“NXC”) provides the Company with minimum order quantities (“MOQs”) amounting to expected cash inflows of $18.0 million in 2025 and $27.0 million in 2026. On March 28, 2025, the Company entered into the Canon Manufacturing Agreement (the “Canon Manufacturing Agreement”) with Canon Medical Systems, Inc. (“CMSC”), which provides the Company the ability to scale manufacturing with favorable payment terms of net 90 days to support the delivery of MOQs under the Amended Distribution Agreement.
Management believes that the additional cash received for the Lynrock Lake Term Loan and from the related persons in the April 2025 and May 2025 PIPE investments, and the additional expected revenue from MOQs per the Amended Distribution Agreement will be sufficient to fund the Company’s current operating plan for at least the next 12 months.
The Company’s future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including the Company’s growth rate, the timing and extent of its spending to support research and development activities, purchasing inventory to meet its growth plan, and the timing and cost to enhance commercialized existing products. In the event that additional financing is required from outside sources, the Company may not be able to raise it on terms acceptable to the Company, or at all. Any additional debt financing obtained by the Company in the future could also involve restrictive covenants relating to the Company’s capital-raising activities and other financial and operational matters, which may make it more difficult for the Company to obtain additional capital and to pursue business opportunities, including potential acquisitions. Additionally, if the Company raises additional funds through further issuances of equity, convertible debt securities or other securities convertible into equity, its existing stockholders could suffer significant dilution in their percentage ownership of the Company, and any new equity securities the Company issues could have rights, preferences and privileges senior to those of holders of the Company’s common stock. If the Company is unable to obtain adequate financing or financing on terms satisfactory to the Company when the Company requires it, the Company’s ability to continue to grow or support its business and to respond to business challenges could be significantly limited.
Revised Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
The Company has revised its condensed consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2024 to correct a misstatement identified related to the initial recognition of the earnout liability associated with the Merger. The Company assessed the materiality of this misstatement in accordance with SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108 – “Quantifying Misstatements” and concluded this error was not qualitatively material. As such, the correction of the error for the affected periods will be reflected prospectively in the Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for fiscal year 2025. Refer to the schedules in Note 17 in the consolidated financial statements included in the Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 filed on March 31, 2025 for effects of this revision.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses and the related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that it believes to be 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. Actual results may differ from these estimates. In addition, any change in these estimates or their related assumptions could have an adverse effect on the Company’s operating results.
Business Risk and Concentration of Credit Risk and Supply Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and accounts receivable. The majority of the Company’s cash is invested in U.S. dollar deposits with a reputable bank in the United States. Management believes that minimal credit risk exists with respect to the financial institution that holds the Company’s cash. At times, such cash may be in excess of insured limits established by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.
The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and generally does not require collateral for accounts receivable. Payment terms range from cash in advance to 30 days from delivery of products or services but may fluctuate depending on the terms of each specific contract.
Significant customers represent 10% or more of the Company’s total revenue or accounts receivable balance for the period ended as of each reporting date. For each significant customer, revenue as a percentage of total revenue and accounts receivable as a percentage of total accounts receivable were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | | | | Revenue |
| Accounts Receivable, Net | | Three Months Ended March 31, | | |
| March 31, 2025 | | December 31, 2024 | | 2025 | | 2024 | | | | |
Customers: | | | | | | | | | | | |
Customer A | 98 | % | | 13 | % | | 97 | % | | 32 | % | | | | |
Customer B | * | | * | | * | | 68 | % | | | | |
Customer C | * | | 12 | % | | * | | * | | | | |
| | | | | | | | | | | |
| | | | | | | | | | | |
| | | | | | | | | | | |
| | | | | | | | | | | |
| | | | | | | | | | | |
| | | | | | | | | | | |
| | | | | | | | | | | |
Customer D | * | | 62 | % | | * | | * | | | | |
| 98 | % | | 87 | % | | 97 | % | | 100 | % | | | | |
*Total less than 10% for the period.
There are inherent risks whenever a large percentage of total revenue is concentrated in a limited number of customers. Should a significant customer which is a party to a contract with the Company under which the Company derives revenue terminate or fail to renew its contracts with the Company, in whole or in part, for any reason, or experience significant financial or operating difficulties, it could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition and results of operations. In general, a customer that makes up a significant portion of revenues in one period, may not make up a significant portion in subsequent periods. However, as the Company has entered into a Distribution Agreement (“NXC Distribution Agreement”) with NXC Imaging, Inc. (“NXC”) on June 18, 2024, and as amended by the Amended Distribution Agreement on December 11, 2024, which was further amended on March 28, 2025, by which the Company appointed NXC as the exclusive reseller to market, advertise, and resell certain equipment in the U.S. and U.S. territories, the Company expects that NXC will make up a significant portion of revenues in each period in which such NXC Distribution Agreement is in effect. Customer A in the concentration table above is NXC. NXC has executed agreements with other distributors across the U.S. Territories to strengthen its sales channels.
Certain components and services used to manufacture and develop the Company’s products are presently available from only one or a limited number of suppliers or vendors. The Company’s QT Breast Scanner has more than six hundred components, of which less than five components have such dependencies on limited suppliers or vendors. The loss of any of these suppliers or vendors would potentially require a significant level of hardware and/or software development efforts to incorporate the products or services into the Company’s product.
Revenue Recognition
Revenue recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 is disaggregated as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| Three Months Ended March 31, | | |
| 2025 | | 2024 | | | | |

| $ | 2,798,415 | | | $ | 1,362,163 | | | | | |
Revenue recognized by geography during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 is as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| Three Months Ended March 31, | | |
| 2025 | | 2024 | | | | |
United States | $ | 2,787,026 | | | $ | 1,358,195 | | | | | |
International | 11,389 | | | 3,968 | | | | | |
| $ | 2,798,415 | | | $ | 1,362,163 | | | | | |
Substantially all of the revenue recognized by the Company during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 was recognized at a point in time. The Company had no contract assets as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024. The Company had contract liabilities of $44,643 as of March 31, 2025, of which $37,738 is expected to be recognized as revenue in 2025 and $6,905 to be recognized as revenue in 2026. The Company had contract liabilities of $49,365 as of December 31, 2024. Revenue recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2025 that was previously included in contract liabilities as of December 31, 2024 was $11,389.
Net Loss per Share
Basic net loss per share is calculated by dividing the net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period, without consideration for potentially dilutive securities. Diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares and potentially dilutive common share equivalents outstanding for the period determined using the treasury-stock and if-converted methods. For the purposes of the diluted net loss per share calculation, common stock equivalents are considered to be potentially dilutive securities.
The following securities were excluded from the calculation of net loss per share because the inclusion would be anti-dilutive as of March 31, 2025 and 2024:
| | | | | | | | | | | |
| March 31, 2025 | | March 31, 2024 |
Common stock warrants | 104,272,922 | | 23,889,364 |
Potential shares from Pre-Paid Advance | — | | 10,142,530 |

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Other than the policies discussed above, there have been no changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies described in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 that have had a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which requires disclosure of specific categories in the effective tax rate reconciliation and additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold and further disaggregation of income taxes paid for individually significant jurisdictions. This guidance is effective on a prospective or retrospective basis for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2025, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on the disclosures within its condensed consolidated financial statements.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses. The standard requires that public business entities disclose additional information about specific expense categories in the notes to financial statements for interim and annual reporting periods. The standard will become effective for the Company’s 2027 annual consolidated financial statements and interim condensed consolidated financial statements thereafter and may be applied prospectively to periods after the adoption date or retrospectively for all prior periods presented in the financial statements, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on the disclosures within its condensed consolidated financial statements.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-04, Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20): Induced Conversions of Convertible Debt Instruments. This standard clarifies the requirements for determining whether certain settlements of convertible debt instruments should be accounted for as an induced conversion and the application of the induced conversion guidance to a conversion debt instrument. It also clarifies that the incorporation, elimination, or modification of a daily volume-weighted average price (“VWAP”) formula does not automatically cause a settlement to be accounted for as an extinguishment. This standard will become effective on a prospective or retrospective basis for interim reporting periods and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2025. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on the condensed consolidated financial statements.
2. Business Combination
As described in Note 1, the Merger with GigCapital5 was consummated on March 4, 2024. On the Merger Date, QT Imaging, GigCapital5, and QT Merger Sub, consummated the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement, following the approval at an annual stockholder meeting of the stockholders of GigCapital5 held on February 20, 2024 (the “Stockholder Meeting”).
The Business Combination was accounted for as a reverse recapitalization. Under this method of accounting, GigCapital5 was treated as the acquired company for financial reporting purposes. Accordingly, for accounting purposes, the Business Combination was treated as the equivalent of QT Imaging issuing shares of the net assets of GigCapital5, accompanied by a recapitalization. The shares and net loss per common share prior to the Merger have been retroactively restated as shares reflecting the exchange ratio established in the Merger (approximately 0.3427 shares of the Company's common stock for each share of QT Imaging common stock). The net liabilities of GigCapital5 have been recognized at carrying value, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded.
QT Imaging has been determined to be the accounting acquirer based on evaluation of the following facts and circumstances:
• QT Imaging's stockholders have a majority of the voting power of the Company;
• The majority of QT Imaging's board of directors continued to serve as directors of the Company;
• The majority of QT Imaging's management continued to serve as management of the Company;
• QT Imaging comprises the ongoing operations of the Company; and
• QT Imaging is the larger entity based on historical business activity and the larger employee base.
The following summarizes the elements of the Merger to the condensed consolidated statements of stockholders’ deficit and cash flows, including the transaction funding, sources, and uses of cash:
| | | | | |

3. Fair Value Measurements
The fair value of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities reflects management’s estimate of amounts that the Company would have received in connection with the sale of the assets or paid in connection with the transfer of the liabilities in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In connection with measuring the fair value of its assets and liabilities, the Company seeks to maximize the use of observable inputs (market data obtained from independent sources) and to minimize the use of unobservable inputs (internal assumptions about how market participants would price assets and liabilities). The following fair value hierarchy is used to classify assets and liabilities based on the observable inputs and unobservable inputs used in order to value the assets and liabilities:
Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. An active market for an asset or liability is a market in which transactions for the asset or liability occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.
Level 2: Observable inputs other than Level 1 inputs. Examples of Level 2 inputs include quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities and quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets that are not active.
Level 3: Unobservable inputs which are supported by little or no market activity and which are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.
The following table presents information about the Company’s assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation inputs the Company utilized to determine such fair value:

Warrant Liability
The Company has determined that the warrants that were a constituent part of (i) the private placement units that were issued in a private placement sale by GigCapital5 prior to the Merger and (ii) the private placement units that were issued upon conversion of working capital notes issued by GigCapital5 prior to the Merger, which conversion occurred concurrent with the Merger (“Private Warrants”) are subject to treatment as a liability, as the transfer of the warrants to anyone other than the purchasers or their permitted transferees would result in these warrants having substantially the same terms as the warrants included in the public units that were issued by GigCapital5 prior to the Merger (“Public
Warrants”). The Company determined that the fair value of each Private Warrants approximates the fair value of a Public Warrant. Accordingly, the Private Warrants are valued upon observable data and have been classified as Level 2 financial instruments. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, a total of 889,364 Private Warrants were outstanding at an approximate fair value of $0.010 and $0.025 per warrant, respectively. See Note 10.

On February 26, 2025, the Company entered into the Credit Agreement that provides the Lynrock Lake Term Loan with Lynrock Lake. In connection with the Lynrock Lake Term Loan, the Company issued to Lynrock Lake, pursuant to the terms of a Warrant to Purchase Common Stock (the “Lynrock Lake Warrant”), a warrant to purchase 61,000,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.40 per share. The Lynrock Lake Warrant is exercisable until February 26, 2035. Lynrock Lake may cashless exercise the Lynrock Lake Warrant. The Lynrock Lake Warrant is also subject to anti-dilution adjustments to the exercise price and the number of shares which may be purchased upon exercise of the Lynrock Lake Warrant in the event that the Company issues shares of common stock (or derivative securities) at a price that is either less than the $0.40 exercise price or the fair market value of a share of common stock from the immediately prior trading day. The Company determined the fair value of the Lynrock Lake Warrant using the Black-Scholes pricing model.

On February 26, 2025, the Company issued to Yorkville a warrant to purchase 15,000,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.40 per share pursuant to a Warrant to Purchase Common Stock (the “Yorkville Warrant”) to fully settle and discharge the Company’s obligations under the Yorkville Note and extinguish the Yorkville Note as having been fully performed. The Yorkville Warrant is exercisable until February 26, 2030. Yorkville may cashless exercise the Yorkville Warrant. The Yorkville Warrant is also subject to adjustments in the event that the Company’s common stock undergoes a split, reverse-split or similar event. Furthermore, the Yorkville Warrant has provided the holder with piggyback registration rights. The Company determined the fair value of the Yorkville Warrant using the Black-Scholes Model.

Earnout Liability
The fair value of the Merger Consideration Earnout shares was calculated using a Monte Carlo simulation. The simulation used as significant inputs the Company's management’s current assessment of placements of breast scanning systems in 2024 and 2025, likely expected values for revenues from 2024 through 2026, probabilities for regulatory approvals including FDA clearances, and probabilities of other triggering events related to the open angle scanner. The probabilities of the non-revenue triggers generally range from 0 to 25 percent. The revenue forecast for the respective measurement periods are generally in line with the revenue triggers as defined in the Business Combination Agreement, as amended. Additional significant inputs into the simulation include the volatility of Company's equity, assets, and revenue that was derived in a manner as would be common for such simulation, and published industry operating profitability metrics. A weighted average cost of capital (“WACC”) was estimated based on a venture capital rates of return on debt and equity. This WACC was used as the discount rate applicable to revenue, after applying a delivering factor to convert it from being applicable to earnings before interest and tax (“EBIT”) to being applicable to revenue. This EBIT to revenue delivering factor was estimated using published industry operating profit and cost metrics.
The Monte Carlo simulation developed a distribution of projected revenues for 2024 through 2026 using a Geometric Brownian Motion framework based on a standard normal distribution of returns. The simulation also developed a distribution of potential daily common stock prices for 2026 using a Geometric Brownian Motion framework. The resulting fair value is based on the average of the number of shares that will be paid out for each triggering event over a statistically significant number of simulations.
Significant assumptions used in the valuation of the fair value of the earnout liability as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

Derivative Liability
In March 2024, the Company recorded a derivative liability related to the Pre-Paid Advance issued on March 4, 2024 pursuant to the SEPA, dated November 15, 2023, between QT Imaging and Yorkville. The Pre-Paid Advance contained the following derivative features (“Derivatives”) as defined in the SEPA that were recognized at fair value:
•Monthly Payment Premium: if, any time after the Issuance Date, and from time to time thereafter, a Trigger Event occurs, then the Company shall make monthly payments of Triggered Principal Amount, Payment Premium and accrued and unpaid interest.
•Monthly Payment Discount: if, any time after the Issuance Date, and from time to time thereafter, a Trigger Event occurs, then the Company shall make monthly payments of Triggered Principal Amount minus the lesser of (x) $1,500,000 and (y) such amount of fifty percent (50%) of the Investor’s net sales proceeds of the common stock issued to Yorkville upon the Merger (the “Company Shares”) or fifty percent (50%) of the value of the Company Shares on such date the cash payment is due.
•Variable Price Conversion Right: subject to certain limitations, at any time or times on or after the Issuance Date, the Yorkville shall be entitled to convert any portion of the outstanding and unpaid Conversion Amount into fully paid and nonassessable common stock in accordance with Section (3)(b), at the Conversion Price of 95% of the lowest VWAP of the Company’s common stock during the 5 consecutive Trading Days immediately preceding the conversion date or the date the Holder submits an Investor Notice pursuant to and as defined in the SEPA, as applicable, or other date of determination, but not lower than the Floor Price (as such term is defined in the Yorkville Note).
•Failure to Timely Convert: if within three (3) Trading Days after the Company’s receipt of an email copy of a conversion notice the Company shall fail to issue and deliver a certificate to the Yorkville or credit Yorkville’s balance account with DTC for the number of shares of common stock to which the Holder is entitled upon such Yorkville’s conversion of any Conversion Amount (a “Conversion Failure”), and if on or after such Trading Day the Yorkville purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise) common stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Yorkville of common stock issuable upon such conversion that the Yorkville anticipated receiving from the Company (a “Buy-In”), then the Company shall, within three (3) Business Days after the Yorkville’s request and in the Yorkville’s discretion, either (i) pay cash to Yorkville in an amount equal to Yorkville’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions and other out of pocket expenses, if any) for the common stock so purchased (the “Buy-In Price”), or (ii) promptly honor its obligation to deliver to the Yorkville a certificate or certificates representing such common stock and pay cash to the Yorkville in an amount equal to the excess (if any) of the Buy-In Price over the product of (A) such number of shares of common stock, times (B) the closing price of the common stock on the conversion date.
•Corporate Events: in addition to and not in substitution for any other rights hereunder, prior to the consummation of any Fundamental Transaction pursuant to which holders of common stock are entitled to receive securities or other assets with respect to or in exchange for shares of common stock (a “Corporate Event”), the Company shall make appropriate provision to ensure that the Holder will thereafter have the right to receive upon a conversion of this Yorkville Note, at the Holder’s option, (i) in addition to the common stock receivable upon such conversion, such securities or other assets to which the Holder would have been entitled with respect to such common stock had such common stock been held by the Holder upon the consummation of such Corporate Event (without taking into account any limitations or restrictions on the convertibility of the Yorkville Note) or (ii) in lieu of the common stock otherwise receivable upon such conversion, such securities or other assets received by the holders of common stock in connection with the consummation of such Corporate Event in such amounts as the Holder would have been entitled to receive had the Yorkville Note initially been issued with conversion rights for the form of such consideration (as opposed to common stock) at a conversion rate for such consideration commensurate with the Conversion Price. Provision made pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be in a form and substance satisfactory to the Required Holders.
The initial fair value of the above Derivatives was calculated using a Monte Carlo simulation. The simulation used significant inputs, including volatility of Company's equity that was derived based on a comparable peer group of publicly traded companies and the Company’s stock price on the valuation date.
The total value of the derivatives reflected the combined value of the monthly payment premium, reduction to that premium by the payment discount, and the value of the conversion right. The values of the failure to timely convert and corporate event features were deemed to be de minimis.
The Company and Yorkville entered into that certain Termination Agreement, dated February 26, 2025 (the “Termination Agreement”), pursuant to which the parties acknowledged the termination of the SEPA and the Yorkville Note, effective as of February 26, 2025. As such, on the effective date of the Termination Agreement, the derivative liability was deemed to be extinguished. The Company recorded the change in fair value of the derivative liability within the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss as of the date immediately prior to the effective date of the Termination Agreement.
Significant assumptions used in the valuation of the fair value of the derivative liability as of December 31, 2024 and February 26, 2025 were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | | | December 31, 2024 | | February 26, 2025 |

7. Long-Term Debt
Yorkville Pre-Paid Advance
On March 4, 2024, the Company received the Pre-Paid Advance of $10,000,000 from Yorkville and issued Yorkville the Yorkville Note in the amount of $10,000,000 for such Pre-Paid Advance that was originally due 15 months from the date of issuance, and interest shall accrue on the outstanding balance of the Yorkville Note at an annual rate equal to 6%, subject to an increase to 18% upon an event of default as described in the Yorkville Note. The Yorkville Note is convertible by Yorkville into shares of the Company's common stock. As consideration for the Pre-Paid Advance, immediately prior to, and substantially concurrently with, the closing of the Business Combination, QT Imaging issued to Yorkville that number of shares of QT Imaging which converted in the aggregate into 1,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock upon the completion of the Business Combination. In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 470-20, the proceeds of $10,000,000 were recorded between the promissory note and common stock less debt origination costs of $975,000, consisting of a $375,000 commitment fee for the SEPA and an original issue discount of 6% for the Yorkville Note, on a relative fair value basis. Expenses related to a structuring fee was $20,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and was included in other expense, net in the condensed consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss. As noted in Note 3, the Pre-Paid Advance contained Derivatives that were bifurcated and recorded a separate instrument. The initial value of the Derivatives of the $5,120,900 was recorded as a debt discount against the Pre-Paid Advance.
Under the terms of the original Yorkville Note, a “Trigger Event” shall occur if the daily VWAP is less than the Floor Price for five trading days during a period of seven consecutive trading days (a “Floor Price Trigger” and the last such day of such occurrence, a “Trigger Date”). If, at any time six months after the issuance of the Yorkville Note, a Trigger Event occurs, then the Company will be obligated to make monthly payments in an amount equal to the sum of (i) $1,500,000 of principal in the aggregate among all promissory notes issued to Yorkville (or the outstanding principal if less than such amount) (the “Triggered Principal Amount”), plus (ii) a payment premium of
5% in respect of such Triggered Principal Amount, and (iii) accrued and unpaid interest hereunder as of each payment date beginning on the 5th trading day after the Trigger Date and continuing on the same day of each successive calendar month to Yorkville pursuant to the terms of the Yorkville Note. However, in the event that the Company shall be required to make such cash payments to Yorkville under the Yorkville Note as a result of the occurrence of a Trigger Event, the Company shall be entitled upon written notice to Yorkville, to direct that Yorkville (i) if Yorkville has sold the Company Shares that it received upon the completion of the Merger to apply, in accordance with the terms of the Yorkville Note, up to 50% of Yorkville’s net sale proceeds of the Company Shares to satisfy, in part or in whole, the Triggered Principal Amount of such cash payments due to Yorkville or (ii) or if Yorkville has not sold the Company Shares, to apply up to 50% of the value of the Company Shares on such date the cash payment is due based on the VWAP as quoted by Bloomberg LP of the Company Shares as an offset of the Triggered Principal Amount of the cash payments due to Yorkville. The obligation of the Company to make monthly prepayments due to the occurrence of a Floor Price Triger shall cease (with respect to any payment that has not yet come due) if any time after the Trigger Date (a) the Company reduces the Floor Price to an amount that is at least 50% of the daily VWAP of the common stock or (b) the daily VWAP is greater than 110% of the Floor Price for a period of five consecutive trading days, unless a subsequent Trigger Event occurs. Furthermore, within one trading day of a Floor Price Trigger that remains after application of all amounts related to the Company Shares as described above, the Company shall reduce the Floor Price to an amount that is at least 50% of the daily VWAP of the common stock, and provide Yorkville written confirmation of such reduction of the Floor Price or be obligated to make the above monthly cash payments.
Following the effectiveness of the registration statement on Form S-1 that the Company filed to register the shares to be issued pursuant to the SEPA, the Floor Price for Yorkville was $0.8768 per share. For the first five trading days commencing after six months after the issuance of the Yorkville Note, which ended on September 11, 2024, the daily VWAP of the common stock was less than the Floor Price, and as a result, September 11, 2024 constitutes a Trigger Date, and on that Trigger Date, a Trigger Event occurred due to a Floor Price Trigger. Accordingly, on September 13, 2024, the Company made the initial payment due to Yorkville as a result of the Trigger Event that occurred on September 11, 2024 in an amount totaling $1,521,581, the calculation of which reflects a reduction to the Triggered Principal Amount by 50% of the net sale proceeds of the Company Shares by Yorkville following the closing of the Business Combination. The total payment of $1,521,581 comprised of $1,145,407 of principal, $318,904 of accrued interest, and $57,270 of 5% early payment premium.
On September 26, 2024, the Company and Yorkville entered into an Omnibus Amendment (the “Omnibus Amendment”), pursuant to which the Company and Yorkville agreed to amend certain terms of the Yorkville Note to reduce the Company’s obligations resulting from the occurrence of the Trigger Event. Pursuant to the Omnibus Amendment, the maturity date of the Yorkville Note was extended approximately six months from June 4, 2025 to December 15, 2025. Further, the Omnibus Amendment acknowledges the Company’s obligation to make monthly payments to Yorkville in the amount of the Trigger Principal Amount due to the occurrence of the Trigger Event and revised the Yorkville Note to provide that no further monthly payments will be owed during the period beginning on the date of the Omnibus Amendment and ending on January 15, 2025. In exchange for this relief, beginning on January 15, 2025, and continuing on the same day of each successive calendar month until and including November 15, 2025, whether or not a Trigger Event has occurred and is continuing as of such dates, the Company will make monthly payments in an amount equal to $500,000 plus the payment premium of 5% plus accrued and unpaid interest under the Yorkville Note as of each such payment date. Such monthly payments will not be reduced or offset by any amount, including, but not limited to, any net sales proceeds of the Company Shares or any value of the Company Shares based on the VWAP as quoted by Bloomberg, LP. The Omnibus Amendment also provided that 100% of the proceeds of the sale of the remaining 400,000 Company Shares held at the time of entry into the Omnibus Amendment by Yorkville shall be retained by Yorkville and shall not be used to offset or reduce any amounts owed under the Yorkville Note, or to otherwise benefit the Company in any way. The Omnibus Amendment also provides that in the event that the Company’s common stock is delisted from trading on the Nasdaq Stock Market, Yorkville consents to the occurrence of such delisting from the Nasdaq Stock Market, if it is to happen, and that it will not constitute an Event of Default as defined per the Omnibus Amendment, provided that (i) the Company uses its best efforts to have its common stock relisted on the Nasdaq Stock Market as soon as possible and (ii) the Company’s common stock is listed on the OTC Markets’ OTCQX market tier within 30 days in the event that a delisting from the Nasdaq Stock Market occurs. The Omnibus Amendment was accounted for as a troubled debt restructuring, resulting in a prospective adjustment to the effective interest rate in accordance with ASC 470-60.
On October 31, 2024, the Company and Yorkville executed the Second Omnibus Amendment to the Yorkville Note (the “Second Amendment”), pursuant to which the maturity date of the Yorkville Note was extended from December
15, 2025 to March 31, 2026. Further, the Second Amendment acknowledged the Company’s obligation to make monthly payments to Yorkville in the amount of the Trigger Principal Amount due to the occurrence of the Trigger Event and no further monthly payments will be owed during the period beginning on the date of the Second Amendment and ending on February 15, 2025. In exchange for this relief, beginning on February 15, 2025, and continuing on the same day of each successive calendar month until and including February 15, 2026, whether or not a Trigger Event has occurred and is continuing as of such dates, the Company agreed to make monthly payments in an amount equal to $500,000 plus the payment premium plus accrued and unpaid interest as of each such payment date. Such monthly payments under the Second Amendment were not to be reduced or offset by any amount, including, but not limited to, any net sales proceeds of the Company Shares or any value of the Company Shares based on the VWAP as quoted by Bloomberg, LP. Further, pursuant to the terms of the Second Amendment, the Company elected to reduce the Floor Price to $0.50 per share, effective as of the date of the Second Amendment. In addition, the Second Amendment provided that to the extent that Yorkville converts any portion of the Investor Note into shares of the common stock between the date of the Second Amendment and January 15, 2025, the first $500,000 of such conversions of the Yorkville Note shall reduce the principal balance of the Yorkville Note. For the avoidance of doubt and without implication that the opposite would otherwise be true, all other conversions of the Yorkville Note pursuant to the Second Amendment were to be applied as provided for in and consistent with the terms of the Yorkville Note. The Second Amendment also provided that in the event that the common stock is delisted from trading on the Nasdaq Stock Market, Yorkville consents to the occurrence of such delisting from the Nasdaq Stock Market, if it is to happen, and that it will not constitute an Event of Default as defined per the Omnibus Amendment, provided that (i) the Company uses its best efforts to have the common stock relisted on the Nasdaq Stock Market as soon as possible and (ii) the common stock is listed on the OTC Markets’ OTCQX or OTCQB market tiers within 30 days in the event that a delisting from the Nasdaq Stock Market occurs. The Second Amendment was accounted for as a debt modification, resulting in a prospective adjustment to the effective interest rate.
On November 4, 2024, Yorkville converted $254,593 of outstanding principal into 384,059 shares of common stock with an applicable conversion price of $0.6629 per share. On December 6, 2024, Yorkville converted an additional $259,588 of outstanding principal under the Yorkville Note into 519,177 shares of common stock with an applicable conversion price of $0.50 per share.
On January 9, 2025, the Company and Yorkville entered into the Third Omnibus Amendment to the Yorkville Note, (the “Third Amendment”), pursuant to which, the Company and Yorkville agreed that for $1.5 million of the then current outstanding balance due under the Yorkville Note (principal and unpaid accrued interest), the fixed price for conversion shall be modified to $0.584 per share, and for the remainder of the balance, the fixed price shall not be changed but shall remain $4.61395 per share as provided for in the Yorkville Note when the Company issued it on March 4, 2024. Further, the Third Amendment removed the Company’s obligation to make monthly payments to Yorkville, previously owing due to the occurrence of the Trigger Event, such that no further monthly payments will be owed during the period beginning on the date of the Third Amendment and ending on the maturity date of the Yorkville Note of March 31, 2026. In exchange for this relief, the aggregate purchase price owed to the Company from the first Advance that occurs pursuant to the terms of the SEPA (the “Advance Proceeds”) shall be paid by Yorkville offsetting the amount of the Advance Proceeds against an equal amount outstanding under the Yorkville Note (first towards accrued and unpaid interest, and then towards outstanding principal and the corresponding payment premium in respect of such principal amount, if applicable), and that for any subsequent Advances pursuant to the terms of the SEPA, Yorkville shall pay half of such Advance Proceeds directly to the Company and the other half of such Advance Proceeds shall be paid by Yorkville offsetting the amount of the Advance Proceeds against an equal amount outstanding under the Yorkville Note (first towards accrued and unpaid interest, and then towards outstanding principal and the corresponding payment premium in respect of such principal amount, if applicable). On January 9, 2025, the Company delivered its first Advance Notice under the SEPA for the sale of 885,000 shares of common stock. This resulted in the reduction of an additional $182,682 in principal of the Yorkville Note.
On February 26, 2025, the Company used a portion of the proceeds of the Lynrock Lake Term Loan to pay Yorkville an amount equal to $3,000,000 in cash and issued to Yorkville a warrant to purchase 15,000,000 shares of its common stock at an exercise price of $0.40 per share pursuant to the Yorkville Warrant to fully settle and discharge the Company’s obligations under the Yorkville Note and extinguish the Yorkville Note as having been fully performed. The Yorkville Warrant is exercisable until February 26, 2030. The Company and Yorkville also entered into that certain Termination Agreement, dated February 26, 2025, pursuant to which the parties acknowledged the termination of the SEPA effective February 26, 2025. The fair value of the Yorkville Warrant at issuance amounted to $2,992,522. As a result of the extinguishment of the Yorkville Note, the Company recorded an expense of
$1,940,216 in other expense, net within the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss for the three months ended March 31, 2025.
As of December 31, 2024, the outstanding amount of the Yorkville Note was $3,532,591, net of the unamortized debt discount of $4,807,820 and accrued interest of $155,203.

Cable Car Note
In February 2024, GigCapital5 and QT Imaging entered into the Cable Car Note with Cable Car, pursuant to which Cable Car agreed to advance $1,500,000 at the closing of the Business Combination, as was evidenced by the Loan, dated March 4, 2024, by and between QT Imaging and Cable Car. The Cable Car Note does not bear interest, and is due and payable 13 months after issuance, unless the time for payment is accelerated as a result of an event of default. As full compensation to Cable Car for the Loan to QT Imaging in lieu of any simple or in-kind interest on the Loan, QT Imaging issued to Cable Car that number of shares of QT Imaging which at the completion of the Business Combination would be converted in accordance with the terms of the Business Combination Agreement into 180,000 shares of the Company's common stock. In accordance with ASC 470-20, the proceeds of $1,500,000 were recorded between the promissory note and common stock less debt origination costs of $40,740, consisting of legal fees, on a relative fair value basis.
On January 9, 2025, the Company and Cable Car entered into an Omnibus Amendment (the “Cable Car Amendment”) to amend certain terms of the Cable Car Note, including a reduction of the conversion price for the Cable Car Note to $0.584 per share. Further, the Cable Car Amendment provides that the maturity date for the Cable Car Note shall be extended to March 31, 2026, in consideration for which, the Company shall pay an extension fee (the “Extension Fee”) of $90,000 to Cable Car, with such fee being added to the amount due and payable on such maturity date, unless the Cable Car Note is earlier converted pursuant to its terms, in which event the Extension Fee shall also be converted. No interest shall accrue or be due on the Extension Fee. Pursuant to the Cable Car Amendment, interest shall accrue on the outstanding principal balance of the Cable Car Note at an annual rate equal to 6%, with interest being calculated based on a 365-day year and the actual number of days elapsed, to the extent permitted by applicable law. Interest shall be due and payable on the maturity date for the Cable Car Note, unless the Cable Car Note is earlier converted pursuant to its terms, in which event such accrued and unpaid interest shall also be converted. In addition, in connection with any sale, assignment, transfer, or other disposition (a “Cable Car Sale”) of any shares into which the Cable Car Note is converted pursuant to its terms, the Cable Car Amendment provides that to the extent such Cable Car Sale is made pursuant to Rule 144, provided that Rule 144 is available as an exemption from the registration requirements for such Cable Car Sale, if requested by Cable Car and upon delivery by Cable Car of such customary representations and other documentation reasonably acceptable to the Company in connection with transactions relying upon Rule 144, the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause its transfer agent to remove any restrictive legends related to the book entry account holding such shares sold or disposed of by Cable Car without restrictive legends within two business days of such request. The Company recorded the Extension Fee of $90,000 in other expense, net within the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss for the three months ended March 31, 2025.
On February 26, 2025, the Company used a portion of the proceeds of the Lynrock Lake Term Loan to pay Cable Car an amount equal to the full principal, interest and fees amount of approximately $1,625,000 in cash to fully settle and discharge the Company’s obligations under the Cable Car Note and extinguish the Cable Car Note as having been fully performed. As a result of the extinguishment of the Cable Car Note, the Company recorded an expense of $93,450 in other expense, net within the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss for the three months ended March 31, 2025.
As of December 31, 2024, the outstanding amount of the Cable Car Note was $1,366,458, net of unamortized issuance costs of $133,542. Interest expense, including amortization of debt issuance costs, for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 was $36,386 and $27,522, respectively.
Lynrock Lake Term Loan
On February 26, 2025, the Company entered into the Credit Agreement that provides the Lynrock Lake Term Loan with Lynrock Lake. The Credit Agreement is secured by a first priority lien on substantially all assets of the Company and provides for a term loan in the aggregate principal amount of $10,100,000 at an interest rate of 10.0% per annum,
compounded quarterly. The maturity date of the Credit Agreement is March 31, 2027. The Lynrock Lake Term Loan shall be repaid on the maturity date in an amount equal to the aggregate principal amount outstanding, together with all accrued and unpaid interest and any outstanding and payable fees.
Subject to the payment of the Make-Whole Amount (as defined in the Credit Agreement), the Company may at any time prior to the maturity date optionally prepay the term loan, in full or in part, upon irrevocable written notice of three business days prior to the proposed prepayment; provided that if such prepayment is to be funded with the proceeds of a refinancing or disposition, such notice of prepayment may be revoked if the financing or disposition is not consummated; provided further, that any such prepayment made in connection with, or in anticipation of, a Change of Control (as defined in the Credit Agreement) will also be subject to a prepayment premium equal to 20% of the amount of principal being prepaid (the “Prepayment Premium”). Partial prepayments of the term loan shall be in an aggregate principal amount of $250,000 or a whole multiple thereof.
Subject to the payment of the Make-Whole Amount (as defined in the Credit Agreement), at the option of Lynrock Lake, the Company will make mandatory repayments of the term loan upon the following occurrences:
• If on any date the Company or any of its subsidiaries will receive any cash proceeds from any Extraordinary Receipt (as defined in the Credit Agreement) in an amount equal to or exceeding $250,000 in the aggregate, the Company shall prepay the term loan within five business days of receipt of such cash proceeds, in an amount equal to 100% percent of the cash proceeds of such Extraordinary Receipt (as defined in the Credit Agreement);
• If any indebtedness will be incurred by the Company or any subsidiary thereof (excluding any indebtedness that the Credit Agreement permits the Company to incur), an amount equal to 100% of the net cash proceeds thereof shall be applied on the date of incurrence or receipt toward the prepayment of the term loan;
• If on any date the Company or any of its subsidiaries will receive net cash proceeds in an amount equal to or exceeding (i) $250,000 in any single transaction or series of related transactions or (ii) $250,000 in the aggregate for all transactions during the term of the Credit Agreement from any Asset Sale (as defined in the Credit Agreement) or Recovery Event (as defined in the Credit Agreement) then the Company or such subsidiary shall prepay the term loan, on or prior to the date which is five business days after the date of the realization or receipt by the Company or subsidiary in an amount equal to 100% percent of such proceeds; and
• Subject to the payment of the Prepayment Premium in addition to the Make-Whole Amount (as defined in the Credit Agreement), in the event that a Change of Control (as defined in the Credit Agreement) will occur, the Company shall prepay all of the outstanding term loan, on or prior to the date which is two business days after the date of such Change of Control (as defined in the Credit Agreement).
There are no requirements to make any prepayment in the event that the Company sells any of its capital stock. In addition, at the option of Lynrock Lake, the Company shall also make mandatory repayments of the term loan on a monthly basis, no later than five business days after the end of each month (provided that such date for payment is prior to the maturity date), if the Company or its subsidiaries receive payment of accounts receivable on or after January 1, 2026, in an amount equal to 15% percent of the aggregate amount of payments of accounts receivable actually received during such prior month, net of any cost of collection incurred not in the ordinary course of business. No Make-Whole Amount (as defined in the Credit Agreement) or Prepayment Premium is due or payable on any such mandatory prepayment as a result of receipt of accounts receivable on or after January 1, 2026. As of March 31, 2025, Lynrock Lake has not elected the repayment option in the amount equal to 15% percent of the aggregate amount of payments of accounts receivable actually received on or after January 1, 2026.
Furthermore, in connection with the Lynrock Lake Term Loan, the Company issued to Lynrock Lake the Lynrock Lake Warrant, a warrant to purchase 61,000,000 shares of its common stock at an exercise price of $0.40 per share. The Lynrock Lake Warrant is exercisable until February 26, 2035. Lynrock Lake may cashless exercise the Lynrock Lake Warrant. The Lynrock Lake Warrant is also subject to anti-dilution adjustments to the exercise price and the number of shares which may be purchased upon exercise of the Lynrock Lake Warrant in the event that the Company issues shares of common stock (or derivative securities) at a price that is either less than the $0.40 exercise price or the fair market value of a share of common stock from the immediately prior trading day. The fair value of the Lynrock Warrant at issuance amounted to $16,496,084.

Preferred Stock
The Company is authorized to issue 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, with a par value of $0.0001, with such designations, voting and other rights and preferences as may be determined from time to time by the Board of Directors.

The issuance of preferred stock could have the effect of decreasing the trading price of common stock, restricting dividends on the capital stock of the Company, diluting the voting power of the common stock, impairing the liquidation rights of the capital stock of the Company, or delaying or preventing a change in control of the Company.
Warrants (Public Warrants, Private Placement Warrants, Working Capital Note Warrants, PIPE Warrants, Lynrock Lake Warrant, and Yorkville Warrant)
Public Warrants, Private Placement Warrants, and Working Capital Note Warrants were originally issued with an exercise price of $11.50 per share, and pursuant to the terms of the warrant agreement governing such warrants (the “Warrant Agreement”), the exercise price and number of warrant shares issuable on exercise of the warrants may be adjusted in certain circumstances including in the event of a stock dividend, extraordinary dividend or recapitalization, reorganization, merger or consolidation of the Company. In addition, if (x) the Company issues additional shares of common stock or equity-linked securities for capital raising purposes in connection with the closing of its initial Business Combination at an issue price or effective issue price of less than $9.20 per share of common stock (with such issue price or effective issue price to be determined in good faith by the Company’s Board of Directors, and in the case of any such issuance to the Company’s Founder or its affiliates, without taking into account any Founder Shares held by it prior to such issuance), (y) the aggregate gross proceeds from such issuances represent more than 65% of the total equity proceeds, and interest thereon, available for the funding of the Company’s initial Business Combination on the date of the consummation of its initial Business Combination (net of
redemptions), and (z) the volume weighted average trading price of the Company’s common stock during the 20 trading-day period starting on the trading day prior to the day on which the Company consummates its initial Business Combination (such price, the “Market Value”) is below $9.20 per share, the exercise price of the warrants will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to 115% of the greater of (i) the Market Value or (ii) the price at which the Company issues the additional shares of common stock or equity-linked securities.
Each warrant became exercisable 30 days after the completion of the Merger and expire five years after the completion of the Merger. If the Company is unable to deliver registered shares of common stock to the holder upon exercise of the warrants during the exercise period, there will be no net cash settlement of these warrants and the warrants will expire worthless, unless they may be exercised on a cashless basis in the circumstances described in the Warrant Agreement. Once the warrants become exercisable, the Company may redeem the outstanding warrants in whole and not in part at a price of $0.01 per warrant upon a minimum of 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption, only in the event that the last sale price of the Company’s shares of common stock equals or exceeds $18.00 per share for any 20 trading days within the 30-trading day period ending on the third trading day before the Company sends the notice of redemption to the warrant holders.
Under the terms of the Warrant Agreement, the Company has agreed to use its best efforts to file a new registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), following the completion of the Merger, for the registration of the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants included in the public units issued in the Company’s initial public offering (the “Public Units”), the private placement units undertaken by the Company concurrently with its initial public offering (the “Private Placement Units”) and the private placement units that were issued upon conversion of working capital notes issued by the Company prior to the Merger, which conversion occurred concurrent with the Merger. The new registration statement was filed on April 1, 2024, and was declared effective by the SEC on May 22, 2024.
On May 13, 2024, the exercise price of the Public Units and the Private Units (the “PubCo Warrants”) was reduced from $11.50 to $2.30 per warrant and the price per share related to the redemption events described above decreased from $18.00 per share to $3.60 per share in accordance with the terms of the Warrant Agreement as discussed above. As of March 31, 2025, there were 23,889,364 warrants outstanding from those that were initially included as a constituent security of the PubCo Warrants with an exercise price of $2.30 per warrant and expiring on March 4, 2029. The PubCo Warrants are comprised of 23,000,000 of Public Warrants, 795,000 of Private Placement Warrants, and 94,364 of Working Capital Note Warrants, which were issued under the same Warrant Agreement described above.
On November 22, 2024, the Company completed a private placement with related parties (the “Private Placement”), pursuant to the terms and conditions of a securities purchase agreement (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”).

The Lynrock Lake Warrant is exercisable until February 26, 2035. Lynrock Lake may cashless exercise the Lynrock Lake Warrant. The Lynrock Lake Warrant is also subject to anti-dilution adjustments to the exercise price and the number of shares which may be purchased upon exercise of the Lynrock Lake Warrant in the event that the Company issues shares of common stock (or derivative securities) at a price that is either less than the $0.40 exercise price or the fair market value of a share of common stock from the immediately prior trading day.

As of March 31, 2025, the total unrecognized compensation cost related to all nonvested stock options was $577,952 and the weighted-average period over which it is expected to be recognized is 1.7 years.
12. Income Taxes
For the interim periods, the Company estimates its annual effective income tax rate and applies the estimated rate to the year-to-date income or loss before taxes. The Company also computes the tax provision or benefit related to items reported separately and recognizes the effect of changes in enacted tax laws or rates in the interim periods in which the changes occur.
The Company’s effective tax rate is 0% for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024. The Company expects that its effective tax rate for the full year 2024 will be 0%.
13. Related Party Transactions
Convertible Notes Payable
In July 2020, the Company issued three convertible notes to three of its stockholders for advances up to $3,500,000 in principal (the “2020 Notes”) and bearing annual interest of 5% on any amounts drawn. An additional note was issued in March 2022 as part of the 2020 Notes, but with an annual interest rate of 8%. All principal and interest payments are due on or before July 1, 2025. The 2020 Notes are convertible, at the holder’s option, into shares of common stock of the Company at the lower of $14.59 per share or the offering price in a financing of at least $5,000,000 in equity from unaffiliated parties. As of March 31, 2025, an aggregate of 256,109 shares of common stock would be issued if the entire principal and interest under the 2020 Notes was converted. Management assessed whether the embedded features in the 2020 Notes should have been bifurcated from the debt host and concluded that none of the features were required to be accounted for separately from the debt instruments. In connection with the issuance of the Lynrock Lake Term Loan, on February 26, 2025, the maturity date on these convertible notes payable was extended to October 21, 2027.
As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the outstanding amount of the 2020 Notes was $3,143,725 and accrued interest of $592,887 and $550,430, respectively. Interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, was $42,457 and $42,929, respectively.
Working Capital Loan
On May 3, 2023, the Company issued a promissory note (the “Working Capital Note”) to a stockholder for a principal amount of $250,000. The Working Capital Note was subsequently amended and restated six times on June 12, 2023 to add an additional principal amount of $100,000, August 15, 2023 to add an additional principal amount of $75,000, August 29, 2023 to add an additional principal amount of $100,000, September 12, 2023 to add an additional principal amount of $75,000, September 15, 2023 to add an additional principal amount of $50,000, and October 26, 2023 to add an additional principal amount of $55,000, for an aggregate principal amount outstanding as of March 31, 2025 under the Working Capital Note of $705,000. The Working Capital Note was issued to provide the Company with additional working capital during the period prior to consummation of the Business Combination Agreement with GigCapital5. The Working Capital Note is interest-free and originally matured on the earlier of (i) the date on which the Company consummated the Business Combination with GigCapital5; (ii) the date the Company winds up; or (iii) December 31, 2023. The Working Capital Note may be prepaid without penalty. On March 4, 2024, the holder of the Working Capital Note agreed to extend and subordinate the promissory note pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of the Business Combination Agreement. Effective on the Closing of the Business Combination, the Working Capital Note cannot be repaid prior to the repayment or conversion of the Yorkville Note received from Yorkville (see Note 7). In connection with the issuance of the Lynrock Lake Term Loan, on February 26, 2025, the maturity date on the Working Capital Note was extended to October 1, 2027.

Overview
We are a medical device company founded in 2012 and engaged in the research, development, and commercialization of innovative body imaging systems using low energy sound. We believe that medical imaging is critical to the detection, diagnosis, and treatment of disease and that it should be safe, affordable, and accessible. Our goal is to improve global health outcomes through the development and commercialization of imaging devices that address critical healthcare challenges with accuracy and precision.
With the support of nearly $18 million in financial support from the U.S. National Institutes of Health, we developed a novel, comprehensive body imaging technology that has high resolution, high sensitivity, high specificity, high positive and negative predictive values, and is safe and inexpensive. The technology is based on ultra-low frequency transmitted sound and uses a one-of-a-kind novel sound back-scatter design and inverse-scattering reconstruction to create its images.
Our current QT Breast Scanner is a Class II device subject to premarket notification and clearance under Section 510(k) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (“FDCA”). On August 23, 2016, we (formerly, QT Ultrasound LLC) submitted a Section 510(K) Summary of Safety and Effectiveness application for the QT Breast Scanner in accordance with 21 CFR 807.92 under 510(K) Number K162372. As part of meeting the general requirements for basic safety and essential performance of the QT Breast Scanner (formerly, QT Ultrasound Breast Scanner) pursuant to AAMI ES60601-1:2005/(R)2012 and A1:2012 Medical electrical equipment, testing was conducted by Intertek, an independent testing laboratory, located in Menlo Park, CA. Intertek also conducted applicable testing pursuant to IEC 60601-1-6 Edition 3.1 2013-10-Medical electrical equipment Part 1-6 General requirements for safety - Collateral Standard: Usability. In addition, we conducted, and Intertek witnessed, all applicable testing pertaining to the requirements for the safety of ultrasonic medical diagnostic and monitoring equipment and to demonstrate compliance with the “Acoustic Output Measurement Standard for Diagnostic Ultrasound Equipment”. This test on acoustic output was pursuant to IEC 60601-2-37 Edition 2.0.2007 Medical electrical equipment - Part 2-37: Particular requirements for the basic safety and essential performance of ultrasonic medical diagnostic and monitoring equipment. Finally, system verification testing was conducted to ensure that the QT Breast Scanner met all design and other requirements including but not limited to that no
new issues of safety or effectiveness compared to the predicate device, SoftVue System manufactured by Delphinus Medical Technologies, were raised.
Since our inception, we have devoted substantially all our financial resources to acquiring and developing the base technology for our body imaging systems, conducting research and development activities, securing related intellectual property rights, and for general corporate operations and growth. On June 6, 2017, the Food and Drug Administration (the “FDA”), in response to QT Imaging’s Section 510(K) Summary of Safety and Effectiveness premarket notification, determined that the QT Breast Scanner is substantially equivalent to the predicate device. Our use of the words “safe”, “safety”, “effectiveness”, and “efficacy” in relation to the QT Breast Scanner in this Management's Discussion and Analysis and all other documents related to us is limited to the context of the Section 510(K) Summary of Safety and Effectiveness that was reviewed and responded to by the FDA.
Our strategies for commercializing the QT Breast Scanner include the following:
•Create disruptive technological innovation (software, artificial intelligence, and smart physics) to improve medical imaging and thus health care quality and access.
•Continue to improve our high quality, high resolution, native 3D, reproducible image quality regardless of operator or breast size/tissue type breast imaging technology, as well as the techniques for quantifiable analysis, comparison, and training.
•Partner with strategic business and distribution channels to address the U.S. market for breast imaging immediately and, other regions in the future, to place the QT Breast Scanner in hospitals, radiology centers, etc. and generate awareness of the benefits of our technology.
•Perform manufacturing internally to us and partner strategically for large scale manufacturing.
•Expand the market by supporting additional Direct-to-Customer and Direct-to-Patient approaches to enable the ability to lower health care costs and increase access via personal medical imaging.
•Provide a new social and economic opportunity for consumers to take control of some aspects of their own health care—such as imaging for minor injuries or medical conditions without needing a healthcare “gate-keeper.”
•Focus our intellectual capabilities and ethical framework to become unified in our mission to improve the quality and lower the cost of health care world-wide . . . “It’s about time.”
Consistent with our strategy, on May 31, 2023, we entered into a Sales Agent Agreement (the “NXC Sales Agent Agreement”) with NXC Imaging, Inc. (“NXC”) pursuant to which we appointed NXC as the non-exclusive agent for the sale of QT Imaging products and services in non-exclusive territories: the U.S., U.S. territories, and U.S. Department of Defense installations. Additionally, NXC was appointed as the exclusive servicer of QT Imaging products sold by NXC under the terms of the NXC Sales Agent Agreement. Effective June 10, 2024, the NXC Sales Agent Agreement was superseded by the NXC Distribution Agreement that was entered into with NXC on June 18, 2024. Under the NXC Distribution Agreement, NXC is appointed as the exclusive reseller to market, advertise, and resell QT Breast Scanners in the U.S. and U.S. territories. NXC will purchase for the purpose of reselling, leasing or renting QT Breast Scanners directly to its customers, but is not obligated to purchase any particular quantity of QT Breast Scanners from us. We have reserved the right to sell directly to customers as an exception. Furthermore, we may, in our sole discretion, sell the QT Breast Scanners to any other person or entity anywhere in the world without notice to NXC or NXC’s prior consent. NXC is also allowed to assign sales agents for the purpose of QT Breast Scanner sales. NXC’s purchases will be in accordance with an agreed upon product pricing schedule (subject to change upon 60 days’ prior written notice by us), provided that neither NXC nor its assigned sales agents may mark-up the cost of the QT Breast Scanners more than twenty percent (20%) unless otherwise mutually agreed to between NXC and us. Each order will include information reasonably requested by us and is subject to our acceptance, after which it becomes an approved order. Any such approved orders are non-cancellable and not subject to rescheduling after acceptance by us. Any orders not accepted by us in writing are deemed rejected. On December 11, 2024, we and NXC entered into the Amended Distribution Agreement, which amends and restates the NXC Distribution Agreement in its entirety, making some modifications to the NXC Distribution Agreement but retaining other terms. We further amended the Amended Distribution Agreement on March 28, 2025. The Amended Distribution Agreement has a term that runs until December 31, 2026, unless earlier terminated or extended by mutual written agreement. As of March 31, 2025, we have delivered fourteen QT Breast Scanners to NXC and NXC’s customers pursuant to the NXC Sales Agent Agreement and NXC Distribution Agreement.
On March 28, 2025, we entered into the Canon Manufacturing Agreement (the “Canon Manufacturing Agreement”) with Canon Medical Systems, Inc. (“CMSC”). Pursuant to the terms of the Canon Manufacturing Agreement, we appointed CMSC as the exclusive manufacturer of the QT Breast Scanners to be distributed by NXC. QTI retains the right to perform manufacturing in Novato, California. The purchase prices applicable to the purchase orders as of the date of the Canon Manufacturing Agreement shall be separately agreed between the parties in writing. The term of the Canon Manufacturing Agreement is through December 31, 2026.
We have incurred net operating losses and negative cash flows from operations since our inception and had an accumulated deficit of $43,076,527 as of March 31, 2025. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, we incurred a net loss of $11,136,000 and used $3,536,799 of cash in operating activities. We continue to incur losses, and our ability to achieve and sustain profitability will depend on the achievement of sufficient revenues to support our cost structure. We may never achieve profitability and, unless and until we do, we will need to continue to raise additional capital.
We expect to incur additional recurring administrative expenses associated as a publicly traded company, including costs associated with compliance under the Exchange Act, annual and quarterly reports to stockholders, transfer agent fees, audit fees, incremental director and officer liability insurance costs, Sarbanes-Oxley Act compliance readiness, and director and officer compensation.
Recent Developments
On January 9, 2025, we and YA II PN, LTD (“Yorkville”) entered into the Third Omnibus Amendment (the “Third Amendment”), pursuant to which, we and Yorkville agreed that for $1.5 million of the then current outstanding balance due under the $10.0 million promissory note issued to Yorkville (the “Yorkville Note”) (principal and unpaid accrued interest), the Fixed Price for conversion shall be modified to $0.584 per share, and for the remainder of the balance, the Fixed Price shall not be changed but shall remain $4.61395 per share as provided for in the Yorkville Note when we issued it on March 4, 2024. Further, the Third Amendment removed our obligation to make monthly payments to Yorkville, previously owing due to the occurrence of the Trigger Event (as defined in the Third Amendment), such that no further monthly payments will be owed during the period beginning on the date of the Third Amendment and ending on the maturity date of the Yorkville Note of March 31, 2026. In exchange for this relief, the aggregate purchase price owed to us from the first Advance (the “Advanced Proceeds”) that occurs pursuant to the terms of the Standby Equity Purchase Agreement (the “SEPA”) shall be paid by Yorkville offsetting the amount of the Advance Proceeds against an equal amount outstanding under the Yorkville Note (first towards accrued and unpaid interest, and then towards outstanding principal and the corresponding payment premium in respect of such principal amount, if applicable), and that for any subsequent Advances pursuant to the terms of the SEPA, Yorkville shall pay half of such Advance Proceeds directly to us and the other half of such Advance Proceeds shall be paid by Yorkville offsetting the amount of the Advance Proceeds against an equal amount outstanding under the Yorkville Note (first towards accrued and unpaid interest, and then towards outstanding principal and the corresponding payment premium in respect of such principal amount, if applicable). On January 9, 2025, we delivered our first Advance Notice under the SEPA for the sale of 885,000 shares of common stock. This resulted in the reduction of an additional $182,682 in principal of the Yorkville Note.
On January 9, 2025, we also entered into an amendment (the “Cable Car Amendment”) with Funicular Funds, LP (“Cable Car”) to amend certain terms of the secured note purchase agreement with Cable Car (the “Cable Car Note”), including a reduction of the conversion price for the Cable Car Note to $0.584 per share. Further, the Cable Car Amendment provides that the maturity date for the Cable Car Note shall be extended to March 31, 2026, in consideration for which, we shall pay a fee of $90,000 to Cable Car for the extension (the “Extension Fee”), with such fee being added to the amount due and payable on such maturity date, unless the Cable Car Note is earlier converted pursuant to its terms, in which event the Extension Fee shall also be converted. No interest shall accrue or be due on the Extension Fee. Pursuant to the Cable Car Amendment, interest shall accrue on the outstanding principal balance of the Cable Car Note at an annual rate equal to 6%, with interest being calculated based on a 365-day year and the actual number of days elapsed, to the extent permitted by applicable law. Interest shall be due and payable on the maturity date for the Cable Car Note, unless the Cable Car Note is earlier converted pursuant to its terms, in which event such accrued and unpaid interest shall also be converted.
On February 26, 2025, we entered into a credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) that provides a senior secured term loan (the “Lynrock Lake Term Loan”) with Lynrock Lake. The Credit Agreement is secured by a first priority lien on substantially all our assets and provides for a term loan in the aggregate principal amount of $10,100,000 at an interest rate of 10.0% per annum, compounded quarterly. The maturity date of the Credit Agreement is March 31, 2027. Furthermore, in connection with the Lynrock Lake Term Loan, we issued to Lynrock Lake, pursuant to the terms of a Warrant to Purchase Common Stock (the “Lynrock Lake Warrant”), a warrant to purchase 61,000,000 shares of its common stock at an exercise price of $0.40 per share. The Lynrock Lake Warrant is exercisable until February 26, 2035. Lynrock Lake may cashless exercise the Lynrock Lake Warrant. The Lynrock Lake Warrant is also subject to anti-dilution adjustments to the exercise price and the number of shares which may be purchased upon exercise of the Lynrock Lake Warrant in the event that we issue shares of common stock (or derivative securities) at a price that is either less than the $0.40 exercise price or the fair market value of a share of common stock from the immediately prior trading day.
On February 26, 2025, we used a portion of the proceeds of the Lynrock Lake Term Loan to pay Yorkville an amount equal to $3,000,000 in cash and issued to Yorkville a warrant to purchase 15,000,000 shares of its common stock at an exercise price of $0.40 per share pursuant to a Warrant to Purchase Common Stock (the “Yorkville Warrant”) to fully settle and discharge our obligations under the Yorkville Note and extinguish the Yorkville Note as having been fully performed. The Yorkville Warrant is exercisable until February 26, 2030. Yorkville may cashless exercise the Yorkville Warrant. The Yorkville Warrant is also subject to adjustments in the event that our common stock undergoes a split, reverse-split or similar event. Furthermore, the Yorkville Warrant has provided the holder with piggyback registration rights. We and Yorkville also entered into that certain Termination Agreement, dated February 26, 2025 (the “Termination Agreement”), pursuant to which the parties acknowledged the termination of the SEPA effective February 26, 2025.
On February 26, 2025, we used a portion of the proceeds of the Lynrock Lake Term Loan to pay Cable Car an amount equal to the full principal, interest and fees amount of approximately $1,625,000 in cash to fully settle and discharge our obligations under the Cable Car Note and extinguish the Cable Car Note as having been fully performed.
On April 9, 2025, we and certain related parties entered into the Securities Purchase Agreement for the issuance of shares of common stock plus warrants for the purchase of common stock with an aggregate purchase price of $500,000 in exchange for 784,929 shares of common stock at an issuance price of $0.637 per share and warrants to purchase 1,569,858 shares of common stock with an exercise price of $0.72 per share.
Components of Our Results of Operations
Revenue
Revenue consists of revenue from the sale of our products including the QT Breast Scanner, associated SW, accessories, and related services, which are primarily training and maintenance. For sales of products (which include the QT Breast Scanner and any accessories), revenue is recognized when a customer obtains control of the promised goods. The amount of revenue recognized reflects the consideration we expect to be entitled to receive in exchange for these goods. Service revenue is generally related to maintenance and training the customer. Service revenue is recognized at the time the related performance obligation is satisfied, in an amount that reflects the consideration that we expect to receive in exchange for those services.
Cost of Revenue
Cost of revenue consists of our product costs, including manufacturing costs, personnel costs and benefits, duties and other applicable importing costs, shipping and handling costs, packaging, warranty replacement costs, fulfillment costs and inventory obsolescence and write-offs. We expect our cost of revenue to increase in absolute dollars and decrease as a percentage of revenues over time as we shift to new manufacturing processes and vendors that we anticipate will result in greater efficiency and lower per unit costs.
We expect we will continue to invest additional resources into our products to expand and further develop our offerings. The level and timing of investment in these areas could affect our cost of revenue in the future.
Operating Expenses
Research and Development Expenses
Research and development expenses consist primarily of costs incurred in connection with the research and development of our products, which include payroll and payroll related expenses, facilities costs, depreciation expense, materials and supplies, and consultant costs.
We expense all research and development costs in the periods in which such costs are incurred. Research and development activities are central to our business. We expect that our research and development expenses will increase substantially for the foreseeable future as we continue to invest in the development of the QT Breast Scanner.
We cannot reasonably determine the nature, timing and costs of the efforts that will be necessary to complete the enhancements of the QT Breast Scanner. Our research and development expenses may vary significantly based on factors such as, without limitation:
•The timing and progress of development activities;
•Our ability to maintain our current research and development programs and to establish new ones;
•The receipt of regulatory approvals from applicable regulatory authorities without the need for independent clinical trials or validation;
•Duration of subject participation in any trials and follow-ups;
•The countries and jurisdictions in which the trials are conducted;
•Length of time required to enroll eligible subjects and initiate trials;
•Per trial subject costs;
•Number of trials required for regulatory approval;
•The timing, receipt, and terms of any marketing approvals from applicable regulatory authorities;
•The success of our distribution arrangements, and our ability to establish new licensing or collaboration arrangements outside of U.S.;
•The hiring and retention of research and development personnel;
•Obtaining, maintaining, defending, and enforcing intellectual property rights; and
•The phases of development of our product candidates.
Any changes in the outcome of any of these variables with respect to the development of our products or product candidates could significantly change the costs and timing associated with the development of these products and product candidates.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses consist primarily of personnel costs, costs related to maintenance and filings of intellectual property, and other expenses for outside professional services, including legal, consulting, investor relations, audit and accounting services. Our personnel costs consist of salaries, benefits and stock-based compensation expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses include facilities, depreciation and other expenses, which include direct or allocated expenses for rent and maintenance of facilities and insurance. Selling, general and administrative expenses also include consulting expenses and costs for conferences, meetings, and other events.
We anticipate that our selling, general and administrative expenses will increase to support our expanding headcount and operations, increased costs of operating as a public company, the development of a commercial infrastructure to support commercialization of our products and product candidates, increased support for existing and new distribution partner relationships, and the use of outside service providers such as insurers, consultants, lawyers, and accountants. We also expect selling expenses to increase in the near term as we promote our brand through marketing and advertising initiatives, expand market presence and hire additional personnel to drive penetration and generate leads.

N.M. - Not meaningful
Revenue
Revenue increased by $1,436,252 to $2,798,415 for the three months ended March 31, 2025 from $1,362,163 for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The increase in revenue was primarily attributable to the sale of six QT Breast Scanners in the first quarter of 2025 as compared with three scanners sold in the first quarter of 2024 due to the minimum order quantities (“MOQs”) in accordance with the amended NXC Distribution Agreement, which was executed during the fourth quarter of 2024.
Cost of Revenue
Cost of revenue increased by $384,470 to $986,553 for the three months ended March 31, 2025 from $602,083 for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The increase in cost of revenue was primarily attributable to the sale of six QT Breast Scanners in the first quarter of 2025 as compared with three scanners sold in the first quarter of 2024. Gross margin increased in the three months ended March 31, 2025, as compared to the same period in 2024, due to variability in weighted average costs of inventory.
Operating Expenses
Research and Development Expenses
Research and development expenses increased by $209,706 to $852,252 for the three months ended March 31, 2025 from $642,546 for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The increase in research and development expenses was primarily attributable to an increase in employee compensation costs of $236,029.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased by $3,694,870 to $2,001,341 for the three months ended March 31, 2025 from $5,696,211 for the three months ended March 31, 2024. This change was primarily attributable to decrease in transaction expenses of $3,944,924 and professional and outside services costs of $299,972, and an increase in the allocation of $249,585 from selling, general and administrative expenses to cost of revenue, which was partially offset by increases in employee compensation cost of $614,359, insurance cost of $102,250, and information technology cost of $64,759.
Other expense, net
Other expense, net increased by $8,728,522 to $8,749,453 for the three months ended March 31, 2025 from $20,931 for the three months ended March 31, 2024. This increase was primarily due to the extinguishment loss of $2,033,666 for the Yorkville Note and Cable Car Note, $6,640,384 of non-cash expense incurred at issuance of the Lynrock Lake Term Loan, and $90,000 from the Extension Fee for the Cable Car Note.
Change in fair value of warrant liability
Change in fair value of warrant liability decreased by $681,606 to $704,729 during the three months ended March 31, 2025 from $23,123 during the three months ended March 31, 2024. The change in fair value of warrants during the first quarter of 2025 was primarily attributable to the Lynrock Lake Warrant and Yorkville Warrant, which were issued in the first quarter of 2025.
Change in fair value of derivative liability
Change in the fair value of derivative liability decreased by $2,881,800 to $101,300 during the three months ended March 31, 2025 from $2,983,100 during the three months ended March 31, 2024. The change in fair value of derivatives during the first quarter of 2024 was primarily driven by the decline in the value of our common stock. The derivative liability was extinguished during the three months ended March 31, 2025 as a result of the Termination Agreement with Yorkville.
Change in fair value of earnout liability
Change in the fair value of earnout liability decreased by $2,660,000 to an expense of $50,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2025 from income of $2,610,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2024. The change in fair value of earnout liability during the first quarter of 2024 was primarily driven by the decline in the value of our common stock and changes to the probability of outcome related to a formal FDA clearance for a new indication for the use of our breast scanning systems and our open angle scanner.
Interest expense, net
Interest expense, net increased by $92,428 to $691,387 for the three months ended March 31, 2025 from $598,959 for the three months ended March 31, 2024. This change is primarily driven by the increase in interest expense and amortization of debt discount of $93,280 for the Lynrock Lake Term Loan and $285,961 for the Yorkville Note, which was partially offset by decreases in interest expense and amortization of discount of $221,857 for the private secured convertible bridge financing closed in November 2023 (the “Bridge Loan”) and $52,498 for the convertible promissory note agreement with USCG (the “Convertible Notes Payable”) issued in June 2021.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Sources of Liquidity
Liquidity describes our ability to meet financial obligations which arise during the normal course of business. To date, we have financed our operations primarily through the sale of equity securities, issuances of convertible notes and other debt, and grants from the U.S. government. We expect to derive future liquidity primarily through our revenues with customers and sale of equity securities. Our current liquidity position consists of cash on hand and certificates of deposit.
Since our inception, we have incurred significant operating losses and negative cash flows. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we had an accumulated deficit of $43,076,527 and $31,940,527, respectively. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we had cash and restricted cash and cash equivalents of $3,007,503 and $1,192,104, respectively. Our primary uses of cash are for general working capital requirements, and capital expenditures. Cash flows from operations have been historically negative as we invested in product development, clinical trials, and manufacturing. We expect to be cash flow negative for the foreseeable future, although we may have quarterly results where cash flows from operations are positive.
We and NXC entered into Amended Distribution Agreement, as amended on March 28, 2025, which provides us with MOQs that could result in cash inflows of up to $18.0 million in 2025 and $27.0 million in 2026. Our Canon Manufacturing Agreement with CMSC provides us the ability to scale manufacturing with favorable payment terms of net 90 days to support the delivery of MOQs under the Amended Distribution Agreement. On February 26, 2025, we entered into the Credit Agreement that provides the Lynrock Lake Term Loan with Lynrock Lake for a term loan in the aggregate
principal amount of $10.1 million and repaid the secured Cable Car Note, and fully settled its obligations under the Yorkville Note and terminated the Yorkville SEPA by paying $3.0 million in cash and issuing a 5-year warrant for 15 million shares. Net of these payments, we had $5.4 million of net proceeds for working capital purposes. On April 24, 2025, we received an additional $500,000 from related persons in exchange for the issuance of shares of common stock plus warrants for the purchase of common stock in another Private Investment in Public Entity (“PIPE”) for working capital purposes. On May 12, 2025, we entered into a subscription agreement for another PIPE investment in an amount of approximately $200,000 that is expected to be closed no later than May 19, 2025, pursuant to which we will issue shares of common stock plus warrants for the purchase of common stock. The proceeds of this PIPE investment will be used for working capital purposes. We believe that the cash received for the Lynrock Lake Term Loan and from the related persons in the April 2025 and May 2025 PIPE investments, and the additional revenue anticipated from MOQs per the Amended Distribution Agreement will be sufficient to fund our current operating plan for at least the next 12 months.
Our future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including our growth rate, the timing and extent of our spending to support research and development activities, the timing and cost of establishing additional sales and marketing capabilities, and the timing and cost to introduce new and enhanced products. In the event that additional financing is required from outside sources, we may not be able to raise it on terms acceptable to us or at all. Any additional debt financing obtained by us in the future could also involve restrictive covenants relating to our capital-raising activities and other financial and operational matters, which may make it more difficult for us to obtain additional capital and to pursue business opportunities, including potential acquisitions. Additionally, if we raise additional funds through further issuances of equity, convertible debt securities or other securities convertible into equity, our existing stockholders could suffer significant dilution in their percentage ownership of the Company, and any new equity securities we issue could have rights, preferences and privileges senior to those of holders of our common stock. If we are unable to obtain adequate financing or financing on terms satisfactory to us when we require it, our ability to continue to grow or support our business and to respond to business challenges could be significantly limited.
Lynrock Lake Term Loan
On February 26, 2025, we entered into the Credit Agreement that provides the Lynrock Lake Term Loan with Lynrock Lake. The Credit Agreement is secured by a first priority lien on substantially all of our assets and provides for a term loan in the aggregate principal amount of $10,100,000 at an interest rate of 10.0% per annum, compounded quarterly. The maturity date of the Credit Agreement is March 31, 2027. The Lynrock Lake Term Loan shall be repaid on the maturity date in an amount equal to the aggregate principal amount outstanding, together with all accrued and unpaid principal and any outstanding and payable fees.
Subject to the payment of the Make-Whole Amount (as defined in the Credit Agreement), we may at any time prior to the maturity date optionally prepay the term loan, in full or in part, upon irrevocable written notice of three business days prior to the proposed prepayment; provided that if such prepayment is to be funded with the proceeds of a refinancing or disposition, such notice of prepayment may be revoked if the financing or disposition is not consummated; provided further, that any such prepayment made in connection with, or in anticipation of, a Change of Control (as defined in the Credit Agreement) will also be subject to a prepayment premium equal to 20% of the amount of principal being prepaid (the “Prepayment Premium”). Partial prepayments of the term loan shall be in an aggregate principal amount of $250,000 or a whole multiple thereof.
Subject to the payment of the Make-Whole Amount (as defined in the Credit Agreement), at the option of Lynrock Lake, we will make mandatory repayments of the term loan upon the following occurrences:
• If on any date we or any of our subsidiaries will receive any cash proceeds from any Extraordinary Receipt (as defined in the Credit Agreement) in an amount equal to or exceeding $250,000 in the aggregate, we shall prepay the term loan within five business days of receipt of such cash proceeds, in an amount equal to 100% percent of the cash proceeds of such Extraordinary Receipt;
• If any indebtedness will be incurred by us or any subsidiary thereof (excluding any indebtedness that the Credit Agreement permits us to incur), an amount equal to 100% of the net cash proceeds thereof shall be applied on the date of incurrence or receipt toward the prepayment of the term loan;
• If on any date we or any of our subsidiaries will receive net cash proceeds in an amount equal to or exceeding (i) $250,000 in any single transaction or series of related transactions or (ii) $250,000 in the aggregate for all transactions during the term of the Credit Agreement from any Asset Sale (as defined in the Credit Agreement) or Recovery Event (as defined in the Credit Agreement) then we or our subsidiary shall prepay the term loan, on
or prior to the date which is five business days after the date of the realization or receipt by us or our subsidiary in an amount equal to 100% percent of such proceeds; and
• Subject to the payment of the Prepayment Premium in addition to the Make-Whole Amount (as defined in the Credit Agreement), in the event that a Change of Control (as defined in the Credit Agreement) will occur, we shall prepay all of the outstanding term loan, on or prior to the date which is two business days after the date of such Change of Control (as defined in the Credit Agreement).
There are no requirements to make any prepayment in the event that we sell any of our capital stock. In addition, at the option of Lynrock Lake, we shall also make mandatory repayments of the term loan on a monthly basis, no later than five business days after the end of each month (provided that such date for payment is prior to the maturity date), if we or our subsidiaries receive payment of accounts receivable on or after January 1, 2026, in an amount equal to 15% percent of the aggregate amount of payments of accounts receivable actually received during such prior month, net of any cost of collection incurred not in the ordinary course of business. No Make-Whole Amount (as defined in the Credit Agreement) or Prepayment Premium is due or payable on any such mandatory prepayment as a result of receipt of accounts receivable on or after January 1, 2026. As of March 31, 2025, Lynrock Lake has not elected the repayment option in the amount equal to 15% percent of the aggregate amount of payments of accounts receivable actually received on or after January 1, 2026.
Furthermore, in connection with the Lynrock Lake Term Loan, we issued to Lynrock Lake, pursuant to the terms of a Warrant to Purchase common stock, the Lynrock Lake Warrant to purchase 61,000,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.40 per share. The Lynrock Lake Warrant is exercisable until February 26, 2035. Lynrock Lake may cashless exercise the Lynrock Lake Warrant. The Lynrock Lake Warrant is also subject to anti-dilution adjustments to the exercise price and the number of shares which may be purchased upon exercise of the Lynrock Lake Warrant in the event that we issue shares of common stock (or derivative securities) at a price that is either less than the $0.40 exercise price or the fair market value of a share of common stock from the immediately prior trading day. The fair value of the Lynrock Warrant at issuance amounted to $16,496,084.
Upon issuance of the Lynrock Lake Term Loan, we recorded a loss of $6,640,384, including debt issuance costs of $244,300, in other expense, net within the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss for the three months ended March 31, 2025.
As of March 31, 2025, the outstanding amount of the Lynrock Lake Term Loan was $697 net of the unamortized debt discount of $10,099,303, and accrued interest of $92,583.
Related Party Convertible Notes Payable
In July 2020, we issued three convertible notes to three of its stockholders for advances up to $3,500,000 in principal (the “2020 Notes”) and bearing annual interest of 5% on any amounts drawn. An additional note was issued in March 2022 as part of the 2020 Notes, but with an annual interest rate of 8%. All principal and interest payments are due on or before July 1, 2025. The 2020 Notes are convertible, at the holder’s option, into shares of common stock at the lower of $14.59 per share or the offering price in a financing of at least $5,000,000 in equity from unaffiliated parties. As of March 31, 2025, an aggregate of 256,109 shares of common stock would be issued if the entire principal and interest under the 2020 Notes was converted. In connection with the issuance of the Lynrock Lake Term Loan, on February 26, 2025, the maturity date on the these convertible notes was extended to October 21, 2027.
As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the outstanding amount of the 2020 Notes was $3,143,725 and accrued interest of $592,887 and $550,430, respectively.
Related Party Working Capital Loan
On May 3, 2023, we issued a promissory note (the “Working Capital Note”) to a stockholder for a principal amount of $250,000. The Working Capital Note was subsequently amended and restated six times on June 12, 2023 to add an additional principal amount of $100,000, August 15, 2023 to add an additional principal amount of $75,000, August 29, 2023 to add an additional principal amount of $100,000, September 12, 2023 to add an additional principal amount of $75,000, September 15, 2023 to add an additional principal amount of $50,000, and October 26, 2023 to add an additional principal amount of $55,000, for an aggregate principal amount outstanding as of December 31, 2023 under the Working Capital Note of $705,000. The Working Capital Note was issued to provide us with additional working capital during the period prior to consummation of the Business Combination Agreement with GigCapital5. The Working Capital Note is interest-free and originally matured on the earlier of (i) the date on which we consummated the Business Combination with GigCapital5, Inc.; (ii) the date we wind up; or (iii) December 31, 2023. On March 4, 2024, the Working Capital Note was
agreed to be amended and subordinated pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of the Business Combination Agreement. Effective on the closing of the Business Combination, the Working Capital Note cannot be repaid prior to the repayment or conversion of the Yorkville Note issued to Yorkville. In connection with the issuance of the Lynrock Lake Term Loan, on February 26, 2025, the maturity date on the Working Capital Note was extended to October 1, 2027.

The primary use of our cash was to fund research and development and general and administrative expenses. Net cash used for the three months ended March 31, 2025 consisted of a net loss of $11,136,000, adjusted for non-cash expenses primarily including depreciation and amortization of $37,630, stock-based compensation of $100,716, loss on issuance of the Lynrock Lake Term Loan of $6,640,384, debt extinguishment loss of $2,033,666, debt modification expense of $90,000, non-cash interest of $476,916, increase in fair value of warrant liability of $704,729, decrease in fair value of derivative liability of $101,300, increase in fair value of earnout liability of $50,000, and the net change in operating assets and liabilities of $2,424,763. The net change in operating assets and liabilities was primarily due an increase accounts receivable of $2,715,285 and an increase in prepaid expenses and other current assets of $635,266, partially offset by an increase in accounts payable of $60,685, an increase in accrued expenses and other current liabilities of $466,467, a decrease in inventory of $268,318 and an increase in other current liabilities of $135,040.
Net cash used for the three months ended March 31, 2024 consisted of a net loss of $628,590, adjusted for non-cash expenses including depreciation and amortization of $98,873, stock-based compensation of $38,984, fair value of common stock issued in exchange for services and in connection with non-redemption agreements of $3,714,694, issuance of common stock in connection with a stock subscription agreement of $206,000, non-cash interest of $298,605, non-cash operating lease expense of $5,369, increase in fair value of warrant liability of $23,123, decrease in fair value of derivative liability of $2,983,100, decrease in fair value of earnout liability of $2,610,000, and the net change in operating assets and liabilities of $4,130,025. The net change in operating assets and liabilities was primarily due an increase accounts receivable of $482,357, an increase in prepaid expenses and other current assets of $879,508, a decrease in accounts payable of $2,118,345, a decrease in accrued expenses and other current liabilities of $1,319,572, and a decrease of deferred revenue of $3,968, partially offset by a decrease in inventory of $586,413 and increase in other liabilities of $87,312.
Net Cash Provided By Financing Activities
During the three months ended March 31, 2025, net cash provided by financing activities was $5,352,198, primarily due to $10,000,000 of net proceeds received from issuance of long-term debt related to the Lynrock Lake Term Loan, partially offset bythe repayment of long-term debt of $4,647,802 related to the Yorkville Note, Cable Car Note, and the loans from US Bank (the “PPP Loans”).
During the three months ended March 31, 2024, net cash provided by financing activities was $11,431,060, primarily due to $10,525,000 of net proceeds received from issuance of long-term debt related to the Yorkville Pre-Paid Advance and the Cable Car Note, net proceeds of $1,238,530 received from the business combination of QT Imaging and GigCapital5 (the “Merger”), and cash proceeds of $500,000 received from issuance of common stock pursuant to a subscription agreement, partially offset by repayment of the Bridge Loan of $800,000, and repayments against the PPP Loans of $32,470.
Future Funding Requirements
We expect to incur increased significant expenses in connection with our ongoing activities, particularly as we continue the research and development of our products and product candidates, seek expanded regulatory clearances for the QT Breast Scanner, and build a U.S. sales and marketing team. As part of the effort to build the sales and marketing capabilities in the United States, QT Imaging entered into the Amended Distribution Agreement, pursuant to which QT Imaging appointed NXC as the exclusive agent for the sale of the QT Breast Scanner in the U.S. and U.S. territories. We expect to incur additional costs associated with operating as a public company. Our future funding requirements, both short-and long-term, will depend on many factors, including, without limitation:
•Having the cash to repay our debt obligations as they come due;
•Expand our current manufacturing operations and expand existing and build new partnerships with contract manufacturing third-party vendors;
•Purchase inventory for our planned shipments;
•Expand or enhance our distribution with third-party distribution channels outside of the U.S.;
•The progress and results of our trials and interpretation of those results by the FDA (and other regulatory authorities, as required);
•Seek regulatory clearances for product candidates and expanded regulatory clearance for the QT Breast Scanner;
•The cost of operating as a public company, including hiring additional personnel as well as increased director and officer insurance premiums, audit and legal fees, investor relations fees and expenses related to compliance with public company reporting requirements under the Exchange Act and rules implemented by the SEC and Nasdaq; and
•The costs and timing of preparing, filing and prosecuting patent applications, maintaining and enforcing our intellectual property rights and defending our intellectual property-related claims.
We plan to continue to incur substantial costs in order to conduct research and development activities necessary to develop a commercialized product. Additional capital will be needed to undertake these activities and commercialization efforts. We intend to raise such capital through the issuance of additional equity, borrowings and potential strategic alliances with other companies. If we raise additional capital through debt financing, we may be subject to covenants limiting or restricting our ability to take specific actions, such as incurring additional debt, making capital expenditures or declaring dividends. If such financing is not available at adequate levels or on acceptable terms, we could be required to significantly reduce operating expenses and delay, reduce the scope of or eliminate some of our development programs or our commercialization efforts, out-license intellectual property rights to our product candidates and sell unsecured assets, or a combination of the foregoing, any of which may have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and/or our ability to fund our scheduled obligations on a timely basis, or at all.
Because of the numerous risks and uncertainties associated with manufacturing, research, development and commercialization of products, we are unable to estimate the exact amount of our operating capital requirements. Our future funding requirements will depend on, and could increase significantly as a result of, many factors, including, without limitation:
•The timing, receipt and amount of revenues from the sales of the QT Breast Scanner and related products and services, or any future approved or cleared products and product candidates, if any;
•The cost of future activities, including product sales, medical affairs, marketing, manufacturing and distribution for the QT Breast Scanner;
•The costs, timing, and outcomes of regulatory review of applications for expanded clearances for the QT Breast Scanner;
•The scope, progress, results and costs of researching, developing and manufacturing our product candidates or any future product candidates, and conducting studies and clinical trials;
•The timing of, and the costs involved in, obtaining regulatory approvals or clearances for our product candidates or any future product candidates;
•The cost of manufacturing our product candidates or any future product candidates and any products we successfully commercialize, including costs associated with building out our manufacturing capabilities;
•The cost and time needed to attract and retain skilled personnel to support our continued growth;
•Our ability to establish and maintain strategic collaborations, licensing or other arrangements and the financial terms of any such agreements that we may enter into; and
•The costs associated with being a public company.
Additionally, our operating plans may change, and we may need additional funds to meet operational needs and capital requirements for future trials and other research and development activities. Until such time, if ever, as we can generate substantial product revenue, we expect to finance our cash needs through a combination of public or private equity offerings, debt financings, collaborations, strategic partnerships or marketing, distribution or licensing arrangements with third parties. To the extent that we raise additional capital through the sale of equity or convertible debt securities, the ownership interest of our stockholders may be materially diluted, and the terms of such securities could include liquidation or other preferences that adversely affect the rights of our stockholders. Debt financing and preferred equity financing, if available, may involve agreements that include restrictive covenants that limit our ability to take specified actions, such as incurring additional debt, making capital expenditures or declaring dividends. In addition, debt financing would result in increased fixed payment obligations.
If we raise funds through collaborations, strategic partnerships or marketing, distribution or licensing arrangements with third parties, we may have to relinquish valuable rights to our technologies, future revenue streams, research programs or products, or grant licenses on terms that may not be favorable to us.
If we are unable to raise additional funds when needed, we may be required to delay, reduce, or eliminate our product development or future commercialization efforts, or grant rights to develop and market products that we would otherwise prefer to develop and market ourselves.
Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to successfully accomplish these plans and secure sources of financing and attain profitable operations. If we are unable to obtain adequate capital, we could be forced to cease operations. See the section entitled “Risk Factors” for additional factors and risks associated with our capital requirements.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We did not have during the periods presented, and we do not currently have, any off-balance sheet arrangements.
Contractual Obligations
We lease our operating facilities in Novato, California, under a non-cancelable operating lease through May 31, 2027. There are no options or rights to extend the term of this lease.
Contingencies
Litigation
We are subject to occasional lawsuits, investigations and claims arising out of the normal course of business. As of the date the condensed consolidated financial statements were available to be issued, management is not aware of any pending claims that will have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.
Emerging Growth Company
We are an emerging growth company (“EGC”), as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (“JOBS Act”). Under the JOBS Act, emerging growth companies can delay adopting new or revised accounting standards issued subsequent to the enactment of the JOBS Act until such time as those standards apply to private companies. We have elected to use this extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies until the earlier of the date we (i) are no longer an emerging growth company, or (ii) affirmatively and irrevocably opt out of the extended transition period provided in the JOBS Act. As a result, our consolidated financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with new or revised accounting pronouncements as of public company effective dates.
In addition, we intend to rely on the other exemptions and reduced reporting requirements provided by the JOBS Act. Subject to certain conditions set forth in the JOBS Act, if, as an EGC, we intend to rely on such exemptions, we are not
required to, among other things: (i) provide an auditor’s attestation report on our system of internal controls over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act; (ii) provide all of the compensation disclosure that may be required of non-emerging growth public companies under the Dodd- Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act; (iii) comply with any requirement that may be adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) regarding mandatory audit firm rotation or a supplement to the auditor’s report providing additional information about the audit and the financial statements (auditor discussion and analysis); and (iv) disclose certain executive compensation-related items such as the correlation between executive compensation and performance and comparisons of the Chief Executive Officer’s compensation to median employee compensation.
We will remain an EGC under the JOBS Act until the earliest of (i) the last day of our first fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of the Closing of the Business Combination, (ii) the last date of our fiscal year in which we have total annual gross revenue of at least $1.235 billion, (iii) the date on which we are deemed to be a “large accelerated filer,” as defined in Rule 12b-2 promulgated under the Exchange Act, or (iv) the date on which we have issued more than $1.0 billion in non-convertible debt securities during the previous three-years.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
See Note 1 to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for a discussion of recently adopted accounting standards.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act and are not required to provide the information otherwise required under this item.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, refers to controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As required by Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2025. Based on their evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) were effective.
Material Weaknesses Identified
In connection with the audit of the consolidated financial statements as of and for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, we identified a misstatement in the condensed consolidated financial statements for the three-month period ended March 31, 2024, six-month period ended June 30, 2024 and nine-month period ended September 30, 2024 as a result of the
material weakness related to technical accounting previously identified for the quarter ended March 31, 2024. We have made significant progress in our remediation efforts during the year ended December 31, 2024 and the quarter ended March 31, 2025, which included implementing technology, hiring personnel, and other activities, including engaging external resources and, as a result, have remediated the material weakness related to technical accounting as of March 31, 2025.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
During the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company implemented internal controls for the review of technical accounting analyses prepared by third-party technical accounting experts related to significant and non-standard transactions. There were no other changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred in the three months ended March 31, 2025 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Inherent Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls
The effectiveness of any system of internal control over financial reporting, including ours, is subject to inherent limitations, including the exercise of judgment in designing, implementing, operating, and evaluating the controls and procedures, and the inability to eliminate misconduct completely. Accordingly, in designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any system of internal control over financial reporting, including ours, no matter how well designed and operated, can only provide reasonable, not absolute assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and that management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs. Moreover, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. We intend to continue to monitor and upgrade our internal controls as necessary or appropriate for our business but cannot assure you that such improvements will be sufficient to provide us with effective internal control over financial reporting.
Part II. Other Information
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
We are not currently subject to any material legal proceedings, nor, to our knowledge, is any material legal proceeding threatened against us or any of our officers or directors in their corporate capacity.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
As of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we supplement the risk factors disclosed in our Annual Report for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2024 (the “Annual Report”) with the following risk factors. Any of these risk factors disclosed in our Annual Report or herein could result in a significant or material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial condition. Additional risk factors not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also impair our business or results of operations. We may disclose changes to such risk factors or disclose additional risk factors from time to time in our future filings with the SEC.
The forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report are based on our current expectations and beliefs concerning future developments and their potential effects on us. Future developments affecting us may not be those that we have anticipated. These forward-looking statements involve a number of risks, uncertainties (some of which are beyond our control) or other assumptions that may cause actual results or performance to be materially different from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, the following risks, uncertainties and other factors:
•our being a development-stage company with limited operating history and significant losses;
•our ability to successfully execute our business model, including market acceptance of our planned products and product candidates at acceptable prices;

•the ability of the business to respond to changes in general economic conditions;
•the occurrence of technological changes;
•our success in recruiting and retaining key employees;
•the ability to manage growth effectively;
•our ability to compete and adapt in our industry;
•the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against our business and other litigation and regulatory risks;
•the ability to obtain additional clearances and approvals from the FDA for current and future products;
•the effect of unanticipated changes in effective tax rates on operations and financials;
•the ability to adequately protect the Company’s intellectual property rights;
•the impact of the terms and conditions of licenses and sublicenses granted by third-parties;
•our management team’s limited experience managing a public company;

Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should any of our assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary in material respects from those projected in these forward-looking statements. We undertake no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as may be required under applicable securities laws.
We are a development-stage company with limited operating history and significant losses since inception which may make it difficult to evaluate prospects for our future viability and predict our future performance. We may never be able to effectuate our business plan or achieve any meaningful revenue or reach profitability.
We have a limited operating history and only a preliminary and unproven business plan upon which investors may evaluate our prospects. We have not yet demonstrated the commercial viability at scale of our breast imaging technology platform. QT Scanner 2000 Model A, (the “QT Breast Scanner”) is deployed at facilities in the United States and abroad, but we have not demonstrated scale of deployment and manufacturing necessary to achieve commercial viability despite having clearance from the FDA for breast imaging with the QT Breast Scanner. Even if we are able to do so, we may not be able to manufacture the QT Breast Scanner device at the costs needed to support our business model. Even if we are able to commercialize some of our products or product candidates, there can be no assurance that we will generate significant revenues or ever achieve profitability. We expect to continue to incur significant sales and marketing, research and development, regulatory and other expenses as we expand our marketing efforts to increase adoption of our products, expand existing relationships, obtain regulatory approvals for our product candidates, conduct clinical studies on our existing and planned product candidates and develop new product candidates or add new features to our existing products. There is no assurance that our distribution partners will succeed in selling and servicing devices in sufficient volumes to help the company meet its business plan, revenue objectives or profitability.
Furthermore, even if our technology and product become commercially viable and deployed at scale, we may not generate sufficient revenue necessary to support our business. We may never successfully stimulate market interest in our QT Breast Scanner in the near-to-mid-term at any level or at all, which may cause our business to fail. The medical imaging industry is also highly competitive, and our technology, products, services or business models may not achieve widespread market acceptance. If we are unable to address any issues mentioned above, or encounter other problems, expenses, difficulties, complications, and delays in connection with the starting and expansion of our business, our entire business may fail, in which case you may lose your entire investment.
We have a history of net losses and negative cash flow from operations since inception and we expect such losses and negative cash flows from operations to continue in the foreseeable future. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we had working capital of $4.5 million and a working capital deficit of $4.9 million, respectively, and an accumulated deficit of approximately $43.1 million and $31.9 million, respectively. For the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, we incurred net losses of approximately $11.1 million and $0.6 million, respectively. For the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, we used cash in operations of $3.5 million and $6.0 million, respectively. We anticipate our losses will continue to increase from current levels because we expect to incur additional costs related to developing our business, including research and development costs, manufacturing costs, employee-related costs, costs of complying with government regulations, intellectual property development and prosecution costs, marketing and promotion costs, capital expenditures, general and administrative expenses, and costs associated with operating as a public company.
Our ability to generate revenue from our operations and ultimately achieve profitability will depend on factors including but not limited to whether we can complete the development and commercialization of our QT Breast Scanner breast imaging technology and our future products, whether we can manufacture the QT Breast Scanner and future products on a commercial scale in such amounts and at such costs as we anticipate, and whether we can achieve market acceptance of our products, services and business models. The net losses that we incur may fluctuate significantly from period to period. As a result of these increased expenditures, we will need to generate significant additional revenue in order to offset our operating expenses and achieve and sustain profitability. Accordingly, we may not achieve or maintain profitability, and we may continue to incur significant losses in the future. Even if we achieve profitability, we cannot be sure that we will remain profitable for any substantial period of time. If we do not achieve or sustain profitability, it will be more difficult for us to finance our business and accomplish our strategic objectives, either of which would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects and may cause the market price of the common stock to decline.
Future sales, or the perception of future sales, of common stock by us or our existing stockholders in the public market could cause the market price for our common stock to decline.
The sale of substantial amounts of shares of common stock in the public market, or the perception that such sales could occur, could harm the prevailing market price of shares of our common stock. These sales, or the possibility that these sales may occur, also might make it more difficult for us to sell equity securities in the future at a time and at a price that we deem appropriate.
All shares issued as merger consideration in the Business Combination are freely tradable without registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) and without restriction by persons other than our “affiliates” (as defined under Rule 144), including our directors, executive officers and other affiliates, and certain other former QT Imaging stockholders.
The Company has registered in a resale registration statement on Form S-1 declared effective by the SEC on May 22, 2024, securities held by certain stockholders of the Company which have the right, subject to certain conditions, to require us to register the sale of their shares of common stock under the Securities Act, pursuant to the terms of a registration statement that we entered into with GigAcquisitions5 and certain other securityholders of GigCapital5 and QT Imaging (the “GigCapital5 Registration Rights Agreement”). The Company has also registered in a resale registration statement on From S-1 declared effective by the SEC on February 5, 2025, the securities sold in the Private Placement as the purchaser received the right, subject to certain conditions, to require us to register the sale of their shares of common stock under the Securities Act, pursuant to the terms of of a registration statement that we entered into (“PIPE Registration Rights Agreement”). The sale of a large number of shares by these stockholders could cause the prevailing market price of shares of common stock to decline. Significant sales of shares of common stock may have negative pressure on the public trading price of our common stock.
The shares already registered for resale currently represent over 50% of the total number of shares outstanding, based on the number of shares of common stock outstanding as of May 12, 2025. Even though the current trading price is significantly below the Company’s initial public offering price, based on the closing price of the common stock on May 12, 2025, certain of our stockholders may have an incentive to sell their shares because they will still profit on sales due to the lower prices at which they purchased their shares as compared to the public investors. For example, members of our founding stockholder, GigAcquisitions5, who received a distribution of shares from GigAcquisitions5 for which there is an effective resale registration statement, have a cost basis in up to 5,735,000 shares of common stock that were acquired at an effective purchase price of $0.0043592 per share, and, therefore, based on the closing price of the common stock on May 12, 2025, could earn an aggregate profit of approximately $4,835,412 from the resale of such shares.
To the extent that the selling securityholders under any of our registration statements on Form S-1 sell their shares or are perceived by the market as intending to sell them, the market price of shares of common stock could drop significantly. These factors could also make it more difficult for us to raise additional funds through future offerings of shares of common stock or other securities.
As of March 31, 2025, the Company had 23,889,364 warrants outstanding that were exercisable for cash at an exercise price of $2.30 per share, and an additional 4,383,558 warrants outstanding that would become exercisable for cash on May 22, 2025 with an exercise price of $0.672 per share. On February 26, 2025, the Company issued a warrant to purchase 61,000,000 shares of common stock to Lynrock Lake and a warrant to purchase 15,000,000 shares of common stock to YA II PN, Ltd. which are exercisable on a "cashless basis" with an exercise price of $0.40 per share as part of the $10.1 million term loan received from Lynrock Lake and cancellation of debt with YA II PN, Ltd. The exercise of any of these warrants would result in the issuance of shares which could then be sold.
In addition, the shares of common stock that will be issued upon exercise of stock options already granted pursuant to the terms of, or those shares of common stock reserved for future issuance under the 2024 Equity Incentive Plan will become eligible for sale in the public market once those shares are issued, subject to provisions relating to various vesting agreements and, in some cases, limitations on volume and manner of sale applicable to affiliates under Rule 144, as applicable. We have filed a registration statement on Form S-8 under the Securities Act to register shares of common stock or securities convertible into or exchangeable for shares of common stock issued pursuant to our equity incentive plans, and may in the future file additional registration statements on Form S-8. Any such Form S-8 registration statements will automatically become effective upon filing. Accordingly, shares registered under such registration statements will be available for sale in the open market.
Certain of the Company’s warrants are accounted for as a warrant liability and were recorded at fair value upon issuance with changes in fair value each period reported in earnings, which may have an adverse effect on the market price of the common stock.
As of March 31, 2025, 889,364 private warrants were outstanding. These warrants became exercisable 30 days after completion of the Business Combination and are exercisable now that we have an effective registration statement under the Securities Act covering the shares of common stock of the Company issuable upon exercise for so long as a current prospectus relating to them is available and such shares are registered, qualified or exempt from registration under the securities, or blue sky, laws of the state of residence of the holder (or the Company permits holders to exercise their warrants on a cashless basis under certain circumstances). Furthermore, the Company may redeem outstanding warrants in certain circumstances; provided, however, that these warrants will not be redeemable by the Company so long as they are held by the initial purchasers or any of its permitted transferees, to which the initial purchaser transferred the private warrants in June 2024. Under GAAP, the Company is required to evaluate contingent exercise provisions of these warrants and then their settlement provisions to determine whether they should be accounted for as a warrant liability or as equity. Any settlement amount not equal to the difference between the fair value of a fixed number of the Company’s equity shares and a fixed monetary amount precludes these warrants from being considered indexed to its own stock, and therefore, from being accounted for as equity. As a result of the provision that these warrants, when held by someone other than the initial purchasers or their permitted transferees, will be redeemable by the Company, the requirements for accounting for these warrants as equity are not satisfied. Therefore, the Company is required to account for these warrants as a warrant liability and record (a) that liability at fair value, and (b) any subsequent changes in fair value as of the end of each period for which earnings are reported. The impact of changes in fair value on earnings may have an adverse effect on the market price of our common stock.
On February 26, 2025, the Company issued to Lynrock Lake, pursuant to the terms of the Lynrock Lake Warrant, a warrant to purchase 61,000,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.40 per share. The Lynrock Lake Warrant is exercisable until February 26, 2035. Lynrock Lake may cashless exercise the Lynrock Lake Warrant. The Lynrock Lake Warrant is also subject to anti-dilution adjustments to the exercise price and the number of shares which may be purchased upon exercise of the Lynrock Lake Warrant in the event that the Company issues shares of common stock (or derivative securities) at a price that is either less than the $0.40 exercise price or the fair market value of a share of common stock from the immediately prior trading day. As of March 31, 2025, the Lynrock Lake Warrant to purchase 61,000,000 shares of common stock was outstanding.On February 26, 2025, the Company issued to Yorkville a warrant to purchase 15,000,000 shares of its common stock at an exercise price of $0.40 per share pursuant to the Yorkville Warrant. The Yorkville Warrant is exercisable until February 26, 2030. As of March 31, 2025, the Yorkville Warrant to purchase 15,000,000 shares of common stock was outstanding. Both the Lynrock Lake Warrant and Yorkville Warrant are classified as liability.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
Please refer to the Current Report on Form 8-K that the Company filed with the SEC on April 10, 2025 for information regarding a private placement that occurred in April 2025, subsequent to the quarter to which this Quarterly Report pertains.
The Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement, dated May 12, 2025 (the “Recanati Securities Purchase Agreement”), with Leon Recanati (the “Purchaser”) for a private placement (the “May 2025 Private Placement”) of securities. At the closing of the May 2025 Private Placement, the Company will issue (i) 205,339 shares (the “Shares”) of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”); and (ii) a Common Stock Purchase Warrant (the “Recanati Warrant” and together with the Shares, the “Securities”) with a term of five years from the initial exercise date to purchase up to an additional 205,339 shares of Common Stock (all of such shares issuable upon exercise of the Recanati Warrant, the “Recanati Warrant Shares”).
The purchase price of each Share is $0.974, which represents 110% of the five-day volume weighted trading price for the Common Stock through May 9, 2025 (the “Per Share Purchase Price”), and the per share exercise price of the Recanati Warrant is $1.12. The aggregate gross proceeds to the Company from the May 2025 Private Placement will be approximately $200,000, before deducting the offering expenses payable by the Company, which expenses consist solely of legal fees. The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the offering for working capital purposes.
The Securities are being sold without registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), in reliance on the exemptions provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act as a transaction not involving a public
offering and Rule 506(b) of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act as sales to accredited investors and in reliance on similar exemptions under applicable state laws.
Securities Purchase Agreement
The Recanati Securities Purchase Agreement contains customary representations, warranties, and covenants of the Company and the Purchaser, and customary closing conditions, indemnification rights, and other obligations of the parties. The May 2025 Private Placement is expected to be closed by May 19, 2025. Under the Recanati Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company agreed to use the net proceeds from the sale of the Recanati Securities for working capital purposes and to not use such proceeds: (a) for the redemption of any Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents (as defined in the Recanati Securities Purchase Agreement), or (b) in violation of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, as amended, or the regulations promulgated by the Office of Foreign Assets Control of the U.S. Treasury Department. The Recanati Securities Purchase Agreement is governed by the laws of the State of New York.
The foregoing summary of the Recanati Securities Purchase Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Recanati Securities Purchase Agreement, a copy of which is filed with this Quarterly Report as Exhibit 10.10, and the terms of which are incorporated in this Quarterly Report by reference.
Warrants
The Recanati Warrant will be exercisable for 205,339 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $1.12 per share, and be exercisable beginning 6 months after its issuance at the closing of the Private Placement and ending 5 years after such issuance.
The foregoing summary of the Recanati Warrants is qualified in its entirety by reference to the forms of Recanati Warrant which is attached as Exhibit C to Exhibit 10.10 filed with this Quarterly Report, the terms of which are incorporated in this Quarterly Report by reference.
Registration Rights Agreement
In connection with the May 2025 Private Placement, the Company entered into a Registration Rights Agreement with the Purchaser, dated May 12, 2024 (the “Recanati Registration Rights Agreement”). The Recanati Registration Rights Agreement provides that the Company shall file a registration statement covering the resale of all Registrable Securities (as defined in the Recanati Registration Rights Agreement) with the Securities Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) no later than the 30th calendar day following the date of the Recanati Registration Rights Agreement, and have the registration statement declared effective by the SEC as promptly as practicable after the filing thereof, but in any event no later than the 60th calendar day following the date of the Recanati Registration Rights Agreement, or in the event of a “full review” by the SEC, the 90th day following the date of the Recanati Registration Rights Agreement.
Upon the occurrence of any Event (as defined in the Recanati Registration Rights Agreement), which, among others, prohibits the Purchaser from reselling the Securities for more than ten consecutive calendar days or more than an aggregate of twenty calendar days during any twelve-month period, the Company is obligated to pay to the Purchaser, on each monthly anniversary of each such Event, an amount in cash, as partial liquidated damages and not as a penalty, equal to the product of 0.5% multiplied by the aggregate subscription amount paid by the Purchaser pursuant to the Recanati Securities Purchase Agreement.
All fees and expenses incident to the performance of or compliance with the Recanati Registration Rights Agreement by the Company will be borne by the Company, whether or not any Shares or Recanati Warrant Shares are sold pursuant to a registration statement.
The foregoing summary of the Recanati Registration Rights Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the form of Recanati Registration Rights Agreement, a copy of which is filed with this Quarterly Report as Exhibit 10.11, and the terms of which are incorporated in this Quarterly Report by reference.
