Although as a Smaller Reporting Company we are a smaller reporting company and
are not required to provide this information, wethe referfollowing yourisk tofactors supplement the sectionrisk entitledfactors “Itemset 3 -- Risk Factors”forth in our annualAnnual reportReport on
on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 and in the risk factor disclosure included in our Current Report on Form 8-K filed on March 31,May
26, 2026.
We may not successfully execute our strategic transition into AI-enabled autonomous systems, drone technologies, and quantum-related applications.
Our current business strategy involving AI-enabled autonomous systems, drone technologies, cybersecurity applications, quantum optimization technologies, and defense-related operational systems is relatively new and evolving. We have entered into license arrangements and acquisition transactions intended to support our new strategy, including arrangements relating to drone products, manufacturing capabilities, and quantum antenna systems. Our ability to execute this strategy will depend on our ability to develop, integrate, manufacture, commercialize, and sell products and services in markets in which we have limited operating history. We may encounter technological, operational, regulatory, competitive, manufacturing, financing, or integration challenges that delay or prevent commercialization, increase our costs, divert management attention, or prevent us from achieving expected revenue or strategic benefits. If we are unable to execute our strategic transition successfully, our business, financial condition, results of operations, and prospects could be materially adversely affected.
Our business depends on rights obtained from third-party license arrangements, and those arrangements may not produce commercially viable products or may limit our flexibility.
We have entered into license arrangements with third parties, including BP United and Project LightShift, to support our development and commercialization plans. The value of these arrangements depends on, among other things, the validity, enforceability, scope, technical performance, development status, commercial readiness, and market acceptance of the licensed technology. Certain licensed technologies remain subject to development milestones, reporting obligations, field-of-use limitations, funding conditions, sublicensing restrictions, exclusivity conditions, termination provisions, and change-of-control or assignment restrictions. If the licensed technologies do not perform as expected, if required prototypes or development milestones are delayed or not achieved, if exclusivity is lost or narrowed, if we cannot obtain required consents for sublicensing or strategic transactions, or if disputes arise under the license arrangements, our ability to commercialize products, enter into strategic relationships, or complete future transactions could be impaired. Any such impairment could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, and prospects.
We may be unable to establish, scale, or integrate manufacturing capabilities needed to support our new business strategy.
Our amended arrangement with BP United contemplates that we will undertake manufacturing of licensed products ourselves, with BP United providing technical assistance and consulting services related to the manufacturing process. We also pursued the acquisition of manufacturing-related assets and a related property to support our drone products and manufacturing plans. Manufacturing operations can involve substantial risks, including delays in ramp-up, difficulty sourcing components or qualified personnel, quality control issues, equipment or facility limitations, integration challenges, supplier disruptions, cost overruns, and failure to satisfy customer or regulatory requirements. If we are unable to establish, scale, or integrate manufacturing capabilities on a timely and cost-effective basis, our commercialization plans could be delayed or impaired, and our business, financial condition, results of operations, and prospects could be materially adversely affected.
Our recent strategic transactions require significant cash expenditures and share issuances, and we may need additional capital to execute our business plan.
Our license, advisory, acquisition, manufacturing, and commercialization activities require significant cash expenditures, share issuances, and other consideration. We also expect that substantial additional capital may be required to fund research and development, technology acquisitions, commercialization efforts, manufacturing scale-up, hiring, regulatory compliance, and general corporate operations. Future equity issuances, including shares issued as transaction consideration, may dilute existing shareholders and create market overhang, while debt financing could impose restrictive covenants, repayment obligations, or other limitations on our business. If additional capital is not available on acceptable terms or at all, we may be required to delay, reduce, or abandon development, commercialization, manufacturing, acquisition, or strategic initiatives, which could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, and prospects.
Contractual restrictions, governance arrangements, and third-party consent rights may limit our strategic flexibility.
Our agreements may contain restrictions, consent rights, voting arrangements, or other provisions that affect our ability to operate, commercialize technology, sublicense rights, assign agreements, complete strategic transactions, or respond to changes in our business or market conditions. In addition, certain share issuances may be subject to voting arrangements that increase the voting support available to proposals recommended by our Board of Directors and reduce the relative influence of other shareholders over those proposals. If these restrictions, consent rights, or governance arrangements limit our flexibility, delay transactions, complicate financings or strategic alternatives, or affect the outcome of shareholder votes, our business, corporate governance, financial condition, results of operations, and prospects could be adversely affected.

You should read the following discussion and
analysis of our financial condition and results of operations together with our consolidated financial statements and the related notes.
Some of the information contained in this discussion and analysis or set forth elsewhere, including information with respect to its plans
and strategy for our business and related financing, includes forward-looking statements that involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions.
You may read the “Forward-Looking Statements” section in this annualquarterly report and the sections entitled “Risk Factors”
in other documents that we have filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission for a discussion of important factors that could
cause actual results to differ materially from the results described in or implied by the forward-looking statements contained in the
following discussion and analysis.
The following discussion refers to our financial
results for the three and six months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026 and 2025. For purposes of this following discussion the terms “we”,
’our” ‘our”
or “us” or “the Company” and similar references refers to Quantum Cyber N.V. (f/k/a Mainz Biomed
N.V.) and its
affiliates.
We are a technology company focused on developing intelligent, scalable platforms that integrate artificial intelligence (“AI”) and quantum computing to power next-generation control systems for unmanned vehicles, aerial vehicles and underwater vehicles, such as drones, self-driving cars and robotic fleets.
Our platforms are designed to address the fundamental limitations of classical computing approaches to autonomous vehicle control, specifically the inability to solve high-dimensional, multi-objective optimization problems in real time. By pairing AI-driven adaptive perception and decision-making with quantum computing’s capacity to explore vast solution spaces simultaneously, we believe that our systems enable capabilities that are not achievable through conventional approaches alone. We anticipate investing in research and development to power ultimate commercialization of our drone technology.
Our core mission is to accelerate the convergence of AI and quantum technologies to deliver safer, more capable, and more efficient autonomous systems for defense, commercial logistics, disaster response, and critical infrastructure operations. We believe this convergence represents a significant technological frontier of the coming decade.
Historically we havehad focused on developing and
selling in-vitro diagnostic (“IVD”) tests for the early detection of cancer. During 2025 and early 2026, our legacy ColoAlert
product was marketed
and sold in European markets. Since 2020, we have also been developing both a blood and stool test for the early detection
of pancreatic
cancer. From 2022 to February 2026, we were developing our next generation colorectal cancer screening product, with the
intention to
launch these products in the future in the United States and in Europe.
In February 2026, the Company’s Board of Directors made the decision to close our colorectal cancer line of business to focus on the pancreatic screening line of business.
On February 13, 2026, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Mr. David Lazar that provides for the sale in a private placement of 1,000,000 each of Series A Preferred Shares, Series B Preferred Shares, Series C Preferred Shares, Series D Preferred Shares and Series E Preferred Shares in two closings, with the second closing completed on April 22, 2026.
In February 2026, the Board made the decision
to close our colorectal cancer line of business to focus on the pancreatic screening line of business. As a result of that decision the
Board marketed for sale the two groups of assets related to the ColoAlert and NextGen product lines, which were primarily the intellectual
property and related assets. The sales of these product lines and intellectual property were completed in two independent transactions
in March and April 2026. In conjunction with this decision also resulted in the termination of all employees of our subsidiary in Germany,
with termination dates between February and May 2026.
