Key Terms

form 8-k/a, pro forma, u.s. gaap, going-concern qualification, +2 more

6 terms

form 8-k/a regulatory

"an Amendment No. 1 on Form 8-K/A"

A Form 8-K/A is an amended current report filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission to correct, clarify or add information that was previously disclosed on a Form 8-K about a material corporate event. For investors it matters because it updates the official record—like an edited breaking-news bulletin—so market participants can reassess a company’s risks, valuation or legal exposure based on the most accurate, complete information.

pro forma financial

"the pro forma financial information required by Items 9.01(a) and (b)"

Pro forma refers to financial information that is prepared based on estimates or adjustments to show what a company's results might look like under certain scenarios, such as new projects or acquisitions. It helps investors understand the potential impact of future events by providing a clear, hypothetical view of financial performance, much like a weather forecast shows possible future conditions.

u.s. gaap financial

"The audit was conducted in accordance with U.S. GAAP."

U.S. GAAP is a set of rules and standards that companies in the United States follow to prepare their financial reports. It helps ensure that financial information is consistent and clear, so investors and others can compare and understand a company's financial health easily.

going-concern qualification financial

"The auditors’ report contains no going-concern qualification."

An auditor's statement that raises substantial doubt about a company's ability to continue operating for the foreseeable future (typically the next 12 months) without major changes such as refinancing, restructuring, or new cash inflows. It matters to investors because it signals heightened risk to the firm's earnings, assets and cash flow — similar to a mechanic warning that a car may not run much longer unless fixed — and can affect stock value, credit terms and investor confidence.

purchase price allocation financial

"The preliminary purchase price allocation reflects $455,000 to land"

Purchase price allocation is the accounting process that breaks down the total amount paid for an acquired business into specific pieces—like tangible assets, identifiable intangible assets (brands, patents, customer lists) and goodwill—based on their estimated fair values. Investors care because this breakdown affects future earnings, tax costs and reported asset values: higher allocations to amortizable intangibles or goodwill can change profit volatility, depreciation and potential impairment charges, similar to splitting a restaurant bill to see what you actually bought versus what you paid extra for goodwill.

goodwill financial

"with no residual goodwill"

Goodwill is the extra value a buyer pays for a company above the measurable worth of its buildings, inventory and other tangible items, reflecting things like brand reputation, customer loyalty and expected future profits. Think of paying more for a café because of its famous name and regulars rather than its furniture alone. It matters to investors because changes in goodwill — for example a write-down if expected benefits don’t materialize — can reduce reported earnings and signal that past acquisitions aren’t delivering as hoped.

Independent Audit of Acquired Business Satisfies SEC Reporting Requirements Following Acquisition Closing; Purchase Price Allocation Reflects $4.18 Million All-Cash Transaction with No Goodwill and No Assumed Debt

Norwalk, CT, Sept. 28, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Quantum Cyber N.V. (Nasdaq: QUCY) (“Quantum Cyber” or the “Company”), a Nasdaq-listed autonomous defense technology company assembling an AI-powered System-of-Systems platform for drone warfare, counter-UAS, and border security applications, today announced that it has filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission an Amendment No. 1 on Form 8-K/A (the “Amendment”) to its Current Report on Form 8-K originally filed on July 16, 2026 in connection with the completion of the acquisition of the Bridgeport, Connecticut manufacturing facility by the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Quantum Drones Corporation, and the associated operating business of Arcade Technology LLC and Arcade Realty LLC (together, “Arcade”).

The Amendment furnishes the historical financial statements of the acquired business and the pro forma financial information required by Items 9.01(a) and (b) of Form 8-K, which were permissibly omitted from the original Current Report at the time of closing.

Independent Audit of the Acquired Business
Included as Exhibit 99.1 to the Amendment are the audited combined financial statements of Arcade Technology LLC and Arcade Realty LLC as of and for the years ended December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, accompanied by an unqualified independent auditors’ report issued by Haskell & White LLP. The audit was conducted in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The auditors’ report contains no going-concern qualification.

Also, filed as Exhibit 99.2, are the unaudited interim combined financial statements of the acquired business as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, and for the six month periods ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, which have been reviewed, but not audited, by Haskell & White LLP in accordance with the applicable auditing standards for reviews of interim financial information.

The Company believes the filing of these financial statements provides independent, third-party validation of the underlying operating substance of the business acquired. As disclosed in the audited financial statements, the acquired business has operated as Arcade Metal Stamping since 1948, is ISO 9001:2015–certified, and serves a diversified customer base across end markets that include, among others, government and defense, automotive, electrical and electronics, medical, telecommunications, and transportation equipment, from an approximately 53,000-square-foot facility at 38 Union Avenue, Bridgeport, Connecticut.

Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information
Filed as Exhibit 99.3 is the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information giving effect to the acquisition, prepared in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X. As disclosed in the pro forma financial information:

• The aggregate purchase price for the business and the real property was $4,180,000, consisting of $900,000 for the business assets, $980,000 for inventory, and $2,300,000 for the real property, in each case before customary closing prorations.
• The transaction was funded entirely from cash on hand. No debt was incurred in connection with the acquisition, and no liabilities of the acquired business were assumed by the Company.
• The preliminary purchase price allocation reflects $455,000 to land, $1,845,000 to building, $366,000 to machinery, $980,000 to inventory, and $534,000 to identifiable intangible assets, with no residual goodwill.
• The Small Business Administration Economic Injury Disaster Loan (EIDL) of Arcade, which was not assumed by the Company, was repaid in full by Arcade on July 16, 2026 using proceeds of the sale, and no encumbrance on the acquired personal property remains outstanding.

Retention of Seller Principals
As previously disclosed and reaffirmed in the audited financial statements, at closing, Quantum Drones Corporation entered into three-year employment agreements, each with non-compete covenants, with Steven Pepe, the former Chief Executive Officer and Member of Arcade, and William Rhone, the former Chief Financial Officer and Member of Arcade. The retention of the acquired business’s founding operators is intended to preserve customer relationships, tooling know-how, and manufacturing continuity as the facility is integrated into the Company’s domestic autonomous defense manufacturing platform.

Management Commentary
“When we announced this acquisition, we told shareholders we were buying a real, cash-generating American manufacturing business — not a shell, not a concept, not a pilot line — and that we were doing it clean, with cash, with no assumed debt, and with the operators staying on,” said David Lazar, Chief Executive Officer of Quantum Cyber. “Today’s filing puts audited numbers behind that description. We believe the audit report, the pro forma information, and the purchase price allocation together speak to the substance of what we acquired and to the discipline of how we acquired it.”

Availability of the Filing
The Form 8-K/A, including the audited historical financial statements filed as Exhibit 99.1, the unaudited interim historical financial statements filed as Exhibit 99.2, and the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information filed as Exhibit 99.3, is available on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov and on the Investors section of the Company’s website at www.quantum-cyber.ai.
