Overview
The Company is a fabless semiconductor company focused on the design and development of optical interconnect technologies and other system-critical semiconductor solutions for artificial intelligence ("AI") data center infrastructure. In April 2026, we commenced a strategic transition toward a new business model focused on the design and development of fabless semiconductor technologies for AI data center infrastructure, including MicroLED-based optical interconnects and other system-critical semiconductor solutions intended to enable faster, more efficient, and more scalable AI workloads. In connection with this strategic transformation, effective April 28, 2026, the Company changed its corporate name from StableX Technologies, Inc. to Fabric.AI, Inc. and changed its ticker symbol on The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC ("Nasdaq") from "SBLX" to "FABC," which commenced trading under the new symbol on April 29, 2026. The Company's common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the "Common Stock"), is listed on Nasdaq.
Our initial product under development is the Neural I/o™ chip (the "Neural I/o chip"), a micro light-emitting diode ("MicroLED") based optical interconnect being developed in collaboration with Kopin Corporation, a Delaware corporation ("Kopin") (Nasdaq: KOPN), pursuant to a Joint Development and License Agreement dated April 27, 2026 (the "JDA"), by and between the Company and Kopin. The Neural I/o chip is intended to replace traditional electrical interconnects with optical links to enable high-bandwidth, low-latency communication between compute nodes, with an initial focus on GPU-to-GPU connectivity for AI data center applications.
We have a limited operating history in the AI semiconductor industry. We are a development-stage company with no revenue from our semiconductor operations to date, and there can be no assurance that we will successfully develop, commercialize, or achieve market acceptance of our technologies.
Our Strategy
Our strategy is to develop and commercialize semiconductor technologies that address what we believe are critical performance constraints in AI data center infrastructure. As AI workloads have grown in complexity and scale, we believe that the performance of interconnect subsystems, the components that enable data movement between processors, memory, and other compute nodes, has become an increasingly significant constraint on overall system performance. Our strategy is focused on the following key elements:
| ● | Develop and commercialize MicroLED-based optical interconnect technology. Our near-term focus is the development of the Neural I/o chip, which we believe has the potential to offer advantages in power efficiency, bandwidth density, and cost relative to existing copper-based and laser-based interconnect solutions. |
| ● | Leverage our collaboration with Kopin Corporation. We are developing our initial MicroLED-based interconnect technology in collaboration with Kopin, which we believe is the only company currently capable of producing programmable MicroLEDs. Both companies jointly develop and share in the intellectual property created through this partnership. |
| ● | Expand into additional system-critical semiconductor technologies. Over time, we intend to develop a broader suite of semiconductor technologies designed for AI workloads, beginning with interconnects and potentially expanding into other system-critical components. |
| ● | Pursue strategic relationships with potential customers. We are engaged in preliminary discussions with leading AI and hyperscale technology companies regarding the potential integration of our technology into their systems, and we have entered into non-disclosure agreements with two chipmakers. There can be no assurance that any of these discussions will result in definitive agreements or revenue. |
Market Opportunities
Data center interconnects are the semiconductor subsystems that enable data transmission between processors, memory modules, accelerators, and other compute nodes within a data center. According to 360iResearch, the broader interconnect market is estimated at approximately $138 billion as of the date of this filing. Industry analysts project that the data center optical interconnect market alone will reach tens of billions of dollars annually within the next several years, driven in significant part by AI infrastructure demand.
As AI model sizes, training clusters, and inference workloads have continued to scale, we believe that interconnect bandwidth has become an increasingly significant constraint on overall data center system performance. The interconnect market is currently served primarily by two incumbent technology categories:
| 1. | Copper-based interconnects are widely deployed, relatively inexpensive, and technologically mature. However, copper-based solutions are subject to signal degradation, heat generation, and power inefficiency at higher bandwidth densities, which limits their effective range and scalability for demanding AI workloads; and |
| 2. | Laser-based optical interconnects (including vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser ("VCSEL") and silicon photonics) offer extended reach and higher bandwidth relative to copper, but are characterized by higher power consumption, heat generation, precise alignment requirements, and higher per-channel cost, which we believe may limit their scalability in large-scale AI data center deployments. |
We believe that MicroLED-based optical interconnects have the potential to address certain of these limitations. MicroLED-based interconnects replace lasers with arrays of microscopic light-emitting diodes and may offer potential advantages including lower power consumption per bit, higher channel density, lower cost at scale, and improved reliability. However, MicroLED-based interconnect technology for data center applications is at an early stage of development, and there can be no assurance that these potential advantages will be realized in commercially viable products.
Products and Technology Under Development
Neural I/o™ Chip
Our initial product under development is the Neural I/o chip, a MicroLED-based optical interconnect chip being developed in collaboration with Kopin. The Neural I/o chip is designed to replace traditional electrical interconnects with MicroLED-based optical links, with the objective of enabling high-bandwidth, low-latency communication between compute nodes while reducing energy consumption relative to incumbent solutions.
The Neural I/o chip leverages Kopin's proprietary MicroLED technology and patented bi-directional NeuralDisplay architecture. This architecture repurposes programmable MicroLED pixels as optical transceivers designed to transmit data while consuming less power per bit than existing copper-based or laser-based solutions. The Neural I/o chip is being designed with the goal of delivering high bandwidth and low-latency data transfer at a lower power envelope than laser-based alternatives.
The Neural I/o chip is also intended to serve as a component of what we refer to as the "Terminal and Brain" ecosystem, which we envision as a platform for communication between advanced AI systems and intelligent edge devices.
The Neural I/o chip is at an early stage of development. We have not yet completed a prototype, and there can be no assurance that the chip will achieve its intended performance specifications, be manufactured at commercially viable cost levels, or gain market acceptance.
Planned Product Expansion
The Neural I/o chip is intended to be the first in a broader suite of fabless semiconductor technologies that we plan to develop for AI data center applications. We intend to develop additional system-critical semiconductor components for AI workloads over time, although the scope, timing, and feasibility of such additional products have not yet been determined.
Collaboration with Kopin Corporation
We are developing our MicroLED-based interconnect technology in collaboration with Kopin Corporation pursuant to the JDA. Kopin is a developer and provider of innovative display and application-specific optical solutions whose product portfolio includes microdisplays, display modules, eyepiece assemblies, image projection modules, head-mounted display systems, Active Matrix Liquid Crystal displays ("AMLCD"), Ferroelectric Liquid Crystal on Silicon ("FLCoS") displays, MicroLED displays, and Organic Light Emitting Diode ("OLED") displays, as well as a variety of optics and low-power application-specific integrated circuits.
Under the terms of the JDA, Fabric.AI contributes system-level design capabilities and Kopin contributes its expertise in MicroLED materials science, process development, and fabrication. The parties have agreed to collaborate on the development and commercialization of Kopin's interface for GPU-to-GPU connectivity and will work together to develop a prototype and demonstration version of the project technology in accordance with one or more development plans agreed in writing between the parties.
Development Funding
Pursuant to the JDA, we have agreed to pay Kopin up to $15,000,000 for the development of the project technology through achievement of at least one successful prototype demonstration (a "Successful Demo") in accordance with the applicable development plans and an agreed funding schedule. We issued an initial purchase order of $5,000,000 within 10 business days after the date of the JDA, and we have agreed to ensure that at least $5,000,000 of funds are available in a segregated account to cover development plan needs. Following achievement of a Successful Demo, the parties have agreed to negotiate in good faith for a period of one year to agree upon a funding, development, manufacturing and commercialization plan for production deployment of the project technology (a "Production Plan"), which is expected to include an additional payment by us of approximately $15,000,000 to $25,000,000.
Intellectual Property Rights
Intellectual property developed through the collaboration is jointly and equally owned by both companies. Kopin retains sole ownership of its pre-existing technology (the "Background Technology"), and has granted us a non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide license under the Background Technology for developing and commercializing the project technology within the scope of our rights under the JDA. In the event of termination arising from our breach, failure to fund, or a bankruptcy event, Kopin has the right to continue to develop, use, and commercialize the project technology without restriction, and we have agreed to assign to Kopin all of our right, title, and interest in the project technology.
Commercialization Rights
We have the exclusive worldwide rights to commercialize the project technology in all commercial markets, subject to Kopin's exclusive worldwide rights to commercialize the project technology for or with respect to government agencies, military, defense, and government intelligence end users and contractors, on a worldwide basis.
Equity Consideration
As part of the JDA, Kopin holds an equity ownership interest of 19.9% in Fabric.AI through shares of our newly designated Series J Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the "Series J Preferred Stock"), which are convertible into shares of Common Stock at an initial conversion price of $2.51 per share, subject to customary adjustments and certain anti-dilution protections. The Series J Preferred Stock accrues dividends at 6% per annum, payable semi-annually, which may be paid in cash or in kind at our election.
Key Personnel
In May 2026, the Company appointed Bill Maffucci as Head of Development for the Neural I/o chip program. Mr. Maffucci has over a decade of experience at Kopin, where he currently serves as Senior Vice President of Product Development & Strategy, a role he assumed in December 2025. Prior to this role, Mr. Maffucci served as Senior Vice President of Business Development and Strategy at Kopin, and earlier held the position of Vice President and General Manager, overseeing operations and product commercialization. Before joining Kopin, Mr. Maffucci held positions at Intevac Photonics, where he developed expertise in optical sensors and optics. Kopin has also recently reorganized its engineering organization to accommodate the focus required for this collaboration.
Customers and Business Development
As of the date of this filing, we have not generated any revenue from our semiconductor operations. We are in the early stages of business development and have entered into non-disclosure agreements with two chipmakers in connection with preliminary discussions regarding MicroLED-based optical interconnect technology. We are also engaged in preliminary discussions with certain AI and hyperscale technology companies regarding the potential integration of our interconnect technology into their systems. These discussions are at a preliminary stage and may not progress to definitive agreements, and there can be no assurance that any of these discussions or non-disclosure agreements will result in commercial agreements, supply arrangements, or revenue.
Business Model and Manufacturing
We operate as a fabless semiconductor company, which means that we focus on the design and development of our semiconductor technologies and intend to outsource the fabrication and manufacturing of our chips to third-party contract manufacturers. This model is intended to allow us to focus our financial and personnel resources on research, design, and development activities while leveraging the manufacturing infrastructure and expertise of established fabrication partners.
Commercial Supply Agreement
Concurrently with the JDA, on April 27, 2026, we entered into a Commercial Supply Agreement with Kopin (the "Supply Agreement"). Under the Supply Agreement, Kopin has appointed us as the exclusive seller of any products incorporating the project technology and developed under the JDA (the "Products") to end users located worldwide, excluding countries subject to comprehensive U.S. trade or economic sanctions. Kopin has retained exclusive supply and distribution rights with respect to the sale of Products to the automotive, military, and defense markets, and has the right to prioritize supply to such markets. All Products incorporating the project technology are required to be manufactured exclusively by or on behalf of Kopin.
We are required to purchase our entire requirements for Products from Kopin, except following the occurrence of certain supply failure events, including Kopin's failure to deliver at least 90% of ordered quantities within applicable lead times or Kopin's discontinuation of manufacturing operations for the Products for 60 or more consecutive days. In the event of such a supply failure, we may, solely to the extent necessary and subject to written agreement with Kopin, manufacture Products in the applicable territory, and any such right terminates immediately upon Kopin's ability to resume supply.
The Supply Agreement has an initial term of four years commencing on the effective date, with automatic one-year renewal periods unless either party provides written notice of non-renewal at least 90 days prior to the end of the then-current term.
Competition
The markets for AI infrastructure and data center interconnect technologies are intensely competitive and subject to rapid technological change. We face competition from established providers of copper-based and laser-based interconnect solutions, many of which have significantly greater financial, technical, manufacturing, marketing, and distribution resources than we do. Competitors in the interconnect market include large, diversified semiconductor companies, as well as specialized optical interconnect providers. Many of our potential competitors have longer operating histories, larger and more established customer bases, and more extensive research and development capabilities.
We believe the principal competitive factors in our market include product performance (including bandwidth, latency, and power efficiency), cost, reliability, scalability, ease of integration with existing systems, and the ability to establish and maintain customer relationships. Our ability to compete will depend on our ability to successfully develop and commercialize our MicroLED-based interconnect technology and demonstrate that its performance characteristics offer meaningful advantages relative to incumbent solutions. There can be no assurance that we will be able to compete effectively against current or future competitors.
Intellectual Property
Our ability to compete effectively will depend in part on our ability to develop, maintain, and protect proprietary technology and intellectual property rights. Intellectual property developed through our collaboration with Kopin is jointly owned by both companies. Our technology leverages Kopin's patented bi-directional NeuralDisplay™ architecture, and we are dependent on Kopin's existing intellectual property portfolio as a foundation for our product development.
We intend to rely on a combination of patent, trade secret, copyright, and trademark laws, as well as confidentiality agreements with our employees, consultants, and third parties, to protect our intellectual property. However, there can be no assurance that these measures will be sufficient to protect our technology from misappropriation or that third parties will not independently develop competing technologies. We may also face claims of intellectual property infringement from third parties. See "Item 1A. Risk Factors" for a discussion of risks related to our intellectual property.
Government Regulation
Our business is subject to a wide variety of federal, state, local, and foreign laws and regulations. The following is a summary of certain material regulatory frameworks applicable to our operations. This summary is not exhaustive, and additional regulatory requirements may apply to our business as it evolves.
Export Controls and Trade Regulations
The design, development, and potential sale of semiconductor technologies, including optical interconnect products intended for AI data center applications, are subject to U.S. export control laws and regulations administered by the U.S. Department of Commerce's Bureau of Industry and Security ("BIS") under the Export Administration Regulations ("EAR"), as well as economic sanctions programs administered by the U.S. Department of the Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control ("OFAC"). In recent years, the U.S. government has significantly expanded export controls applicable to advanced semiconductor technologies, AI-related hardware, and supercomputing components, including through rules restricting the export of advanced computing chips and semiconductor manufacturing equipment to certain countries and end-users. While our products are currently in the development stage, the classification and exportability of our products under the EAR, including the Commerce Control List, will be determined based on their technical specifications and intended end uses. If our products, once developed, are classified under export-controlled categories (including items subject to deemed export restrictions), we may be required to obtain licenses or other authorizations prior to export or re-export, and certain destinations, entities, or end uses may be prohibited entirely. Changes to the EAR, the Entity List, or other restricted party lists, or the imposition of new sanctions, could limit our ability to sell products in key international markets, restrict our ability to collaborate with foreign partners or contract manufacturers, or otherwise materially and adversely affect our business. We intend to implement an export compliance program commensurate with the scope of our operations.
Semiconductor Industry Regulation
The semiconductor industry is subject to ongoing regulatory attention in the United States and internationally. The CHIPS and Science Act of 2022 (the "CHIPS Act") established significant federal investment incentives and restrictions related to domestic semiconductor manufacturing and research. While the CHIPS Act is primarily directed at semiconductor fabrication facilities, certain of its provisions-including research and development incentives-may be relevant to fabless semiconductor companies such as ours. At the same time, recipients of CHIPS Act incentives are subject to restrictions on expanding semiconductor manufacturing capacity in countries of concern, which could affect the availability of contract manufacturing capacity for companies in our industry. We monitor legislative and regulatory developments related to the CHIPS Act and other semiconductor-focused policy initiatives, though we cannot predict the ultimate scope or impact of such policies on our business.
Artificial Intelligence Regulation
Governments in the United States and abroad are actively considering or have adopted various regulatory frameworks applicable to AI technologies and infrastructure. In the United States, executive orders and proposed legislation have addressed topics including AI safety, national security applications of AI, and the role of computing infrastructure in AI development. At the state level, various jurisdictions have enacted or proposed legislation addressing AI governance, transparency, and accountability. Internationally, the European Union's Artificial Intelligence Act and similar frameworks in other jurisdictions may impose requirements on providers of AI systems and, potentially, on providers of infrastructure components used in AI applications. While the direct application of many of these frameworks to semiconductor component providers such as us is still developing, changes in AI regulation could affect demand for AI infrastructure, impose new compliance obligations on our customers (which could in turn affect their purchasing decisions), or directly regulate aspects of our business. We cannot predict the scope, timing, or impact of future AI regulations on our business.
Environmental, Health, and Safety Regulations
Although we are a fabless semiconductor company and do not currently operate manufacturing facilities, our business is nonetheless subject to various environmental, health, and safety laws and regulations. To the extent we maintain laboratory or testing facilities, such operations may be subject to federal, state, and local requirements regarding the handling, storage, and disposal of hazardous materials, as well as workplace safety standards administered by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration ("OSHA"). Additionally, our future products, if commercialized, would be subject to laws governing the use of hazardous substances in electronic products, including the European Union's Restriction of Hazardous Substances Directive ("RoHS") and the Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals regulation ("REACH"), as well as the Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Directive ("WEEE") and similar regulations in other jurisdictions. These regulations restrict the use of certain materials in semiconductor products and impose recycling and disposal obligations on producers of electronic equipment. Compliance with current and future environmental regulations may require us to incur costs or modify product designs, and failure to comply could result in fines, penalties, or restrictions on the sale of our products in certain markets.
Data Privacy and Security
To the extent our operations involve the collection, storage, processing, or transmission of personal data or other sensitive information-including in connection with employee data, customer interactions, or business development activities-we are subject to various federal, state, and international data privacy and cybersecurity laws and regulations. These include, among others, the California Consumer Privacy Act, as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (collectively, "CCPA"), similar state privacy laws enacted in other jurisdictions, and, to the extent applicable to any future international operations, the European Union's General Data Protection Regulation ("GDPR") and other international data protection frameworks. These laws impose obligations regarding notice, consent, data minimization, security safeguards, and individual rights, and provide for significant penalties for non-compliance. Additionally, as a provider of components for AI data center infrastructure, we may be subject to customer-imposed cybersecurity and data protection requirements, particularly from hyperscale and enterprise customers that maintain stringent supply chain security standards.
International Trade and Tariffs
Our fabless business model contemplates the use of third-party contract manufacturers, which may be located outside the United States. As a result, our business may be affected by tariffs, import duties, trade agreements, and other trade policy measures imposed by the United States or foreign governments. Trade tensions between the United States and certain countries, particularly in Asia where a significant portion of global semiconductor manufacturing capacity is concentrated, have resulted in increased tariffs, export restrictions, and supply chain disruption risk for the semiconductor industry. Changes in trade policy, the imposition of new or increased tariffs on semiconductor components or materials, or disruption of international supply chains could increase our costs, limit access to manufacturing partners, or delay product development and commercialization.
Human Capital Resources
As of May 14, 2026, we had zero full-time employees. We also engage consultants and contractors as needed to supplement our internal capabilities. We believe that our future success depends in significant part on our ability to attract, retain, and motivate qualified engineering, scientific, and management personnel. Competition for such personnel in the semiconductor industry is intense. None of our employees are represented by a labor union or covered by a collective bargaining agreement.
Recent Developments
Joint Development and License Agreement
On April 27, 2026, the Company entered into the JDA with Kopin, pursuant to which the Company and Kopin agreed to collaborate on the development and commercialization of Kopin's interface for GPU-to-GPU connectivity and will work together to develop a prototype and demonstration version of the Project Technology (as defined below) in accordance with one or more statements of work or purchase orders (each, a "Development Plan") agreed in writing between the parties from time to time, which shall set out the scope, deliverables, timelines and other relevant terms of the applicable development activities. Any data communications chip technology that is to be developed by either party in performance of any Development Plan is herein referred to as the "Project Technology."
Pursuant to the JDA, the Company has agreed to pay Kopin up to $15,000,000 for the development of the Project Technology through achievement of at least one successful prototype demonstration (a "Successful Demo") in accordance with the Development Plan(s) and the funding schedule agreed by the parties (the "Development Funds"). The Company has agreed to issue an initial purchase order of $5,000,000 within 10 business days after the date on which the JDA was entered into, and payable within ten business days of Kopin's receipt of such purchase order. Further, the Company agreed that it will ensure that at least $5,000,000 of funds are available in a segregated account to cover Development Plan needs. Following this initial purchase order, the Company will pay Kopin the remaining Development Funds in installments in accordance with a time-based funding schedule agreed by the parties as part of the applicable Development Plan. Following achievement of a Successful Demo, the parties agreed to negotiate in good faith for a period of one year to agree upon a funding, development, manufacturing and commercialization plan for production deployment of the Project Technology, as agreed in writing by the parties (the "Production Plan"), which is expected to include an additional payment by the Company of approximately $15,000,000 to $25,000,000.

In further consideration of Kopin's contributions to the development of the Project Technology, the Company has agreed to issue to Kopin shares of the Company's Series J Preferred Stock, constituting 19.9% of the pro forma fully-diluted outstanding shares of the Company's Common Stock, excluding shares of common stock underlying unexercised options, warrants, and other common stock equivalents, subject to certain anti-dilution adjustments upon the sale or issuance of Common Stock or common stock equivalents, or the conversion or exercise of outstanding common stock equivalents as further described below. Pursuant to the JDA, the Company agreed to take all actions necessary to give full force and effect to the adjustment provisions set forth in the Certificate of Designations Series J Convertible Preferred Stock (the "Series J Certificate of Designations"), including through the issuance of additional shares of Series J Preferred Stock to Kopin in such amounts as may be required to ensure that the number of shares of Series J Preferred Stock issued to Kopin are convertible into the Maximum Issuance (as defined below) upon each Dilutive Issuance or Dilutive Conversion (as each term is defined below), as applicable, in accordance with the terms of the Series J Certificate of Designations.
Pursuant to the JDA, the Company and Kopin have agreed to jointly and equally own all right, title, and interest in the Project Technology developed under the JDA, while Kopin retains sole ownership of pre-existing technology in its possession on the date of the JDA, and any improvements and modifications to such technology, excluding Project Technology (the "Background Technology"). Kopin has granted the Company a non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide license under Kopin's Background Technology for developing and commercializing the Project Technology within the scope of the Company's rights under the JDA. The Company has the exclusive worldwide rights to commercialize the Project Technology in all commercial markets, subject to Kopin's exclusive worldwide rights to commercialize the Project Technology for or with respect to: (a) government agencies, departments, instrumentalities or other public sector bodies, including defense, intelligence, national security and public research bodies; (b) military, defense or government intelligence end users; and (c) defense contractors, subcontractors, integrators and other entities primarily engaged in supplying products or services to government, military, defense or government intelligence markets, in each case on a worldwide basis. All products incorporating the Project Technology are required to be manufactured exclusively by or on behalf of Kopin.
The JDA provides for the establishment of a joint steering committee (the "JSC") to oversee and coordinate the performance of the JDA, consisting of two representatives from each of the Company and Kopin. Michael Murray, Kopin's Chief Executive Officer, will serve as one of Kopin's representatives and as chairperson of the JSC. Members of the JSC may be compensated by the Company and/or Kopin in a manner to be determined by the parties.
Either the Company or Kopin may terminate the JDA upon sixty days' written notice for material breach (subject to a cure period) or immediately upon a bankruptcy event of the other party. In the event of termination arising from the Company's breach, failure to fund, or a bankruptcy event, Kopin has the right to continue to develop, use, and commercialize the Project Technology without restriction, and the Company has agreed to assign to Kopin all of its right, title, and interest in the Project Technology.
Pursuant to the JDA, the Company has agreed that, during the term of the JDA and for three years thereafter, neither the Company nor its affiliates will (a) acquire beneficial ownership of more than 9.9% of the outstanding voting securities of Kopin; (b) make or participate in any tender offer, exchange offer, merger or other business combination involving Kopin; (c) solicit proxies or consents with respect to securities of Kopin; or (d) otherwise seek to obtain control of Kopin other than through a transaction approved by Kopin's board of directors.
The JDA contains certain representations and warranties, covenants and indemnities customary for similar transactions. The representations, warranties and covenants contained in the JDA were made solely for the benefit of the parties to the JDA and may be subject to limitations agreed upon by the parties.

Research and development ("R&D") expense was $124,864 for the three months ended March 31, 2026, as compared to $307,730 for the same period in 2025, a decrease of $182,866 or 59.4%. The decrease was primarily due to R&D design and re-engineering of the Vanish being substantially completed. The Company expects R&D expenses to increase in future periods as development activities under its Joint Development and License Agreement with Kopin Corporation for the Neural I/oTM chip accelerate.
General and administrative expenses
The majority of our operating losses from continuing operations resulted from general and administrative expenses. General and administrative expenses consist primarily of costs associated with our overall operations and with being a public company. These costs include personnel, legal and financial professional services, insurance, investor relations, and compliance related fees.
General and administrative expense was $1,576,191 for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to $1,665,822 for the same period in 2025, a decrease of $89,631, or 5.4%.
The decrease was primarily due to salaries and related consulting expenses decreasing by $520,720 for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to the same period in 2025, due to the decreased headcount and shift in business direction from manufacturing. This decrease was mitigated by an increase of $611,468 in warrant expense related to consulting services during the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to $0 during the three months ended March 31, 2025.
Other income and expense
For the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company recorded a $3,531,983 decrease of net other income. For the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, the Company recognized a gain of $0 and $1,080,600, respectively, for the change in fair value - warrant liability, a decrease of $1,080,600, due to the Series H-7 Warrants and Series I Warrants being reclassified to equity during the year ended December 31, 2025. For the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, the Company recognized a loss of $6,000 and a gain of $1,531,000, respectively, for the change in fair value - derivative liability, a decrease of $1,537,000, due to the increase in the fair value of the derivative liability associated with the Series I Preferred Stock which was primarily driven by changes in the valuation assumptions, including increases in discount rates and updates to the probability-weighted outcomes of contingent features, which offset the impact of a decline in the Company's stock price and reduced volatility. For the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, the Company recognized an unrealized loss from remeasurement of digital assets of $613,663 and $0, respectively.
Off-Balance Sheet Commitments and Arrangements
The Company has not entered into any off-balance sheet financial guarantees or other off-balance sheet commitments to guarantee the payment obligations of any third parties. The Company has not entered into any derivative contracts that are indexed to the Company's shares and classified as stockholder's equity or that are not reflected in the Company's financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Furthermore, the Company does not have any retained or contingent interest in assets transferred to an unconsolidated entity that serves as credit, liquidity or market risk support to such entity. The Company does not have any variable interest in any unconsolidated entity that provides financing, liquidity, market risk or credit support to us or engages in leasing, hedging or product development services with us.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Subsequent to March 31, 2026, the Company completed several financing transactions that provided additional liquidity to fund the Company's operations and semiconductor development activities. On April 29, 2026, the Company closed a private placement of Series K Convertible Preferred Stock and warrants for aggregate gross proceeds of $21,500,000. In addition, the Company entered into Omnibus Amendments with the holders of its Series H-7 and Series I Preferred Stock, extending the maturity dates to October 27, 2027 and removing amortization payment obligations. For a more complete description of these financing transactions and the terms thereof, see "Recent Developments" above.
The Company has incurred recurring losses from operations and has insufficient liquidity to fund its future operations. As of March 31, 2026, we had $3,263,540 in cash and cash equivalents, $110,562 in restricted cash, $3,416,475 in marketable securities, and working capital of $6,475,365. As of December 31, 2025, we had $4,981,798 in cash and cash equivalents, $110,264 in restricted cash, $3,168,362 in marketable securities and working capital of $7,567,805.
Subsequent to March 31, 2026, the Company completed financing transactions that generated significant additional liquidity. As of the date of this filing, the Company had approximately $30 million in cash and cash equivalents.
Our sources of cash since inception have been predominately from the sale of equity and debt, including the issuance of Preferred Stock.
Our future liquidity requirements or future capital needs will depend on, among other things, capital required to fund our semiconductor technology development activities, including our obligations under the Joint Development and License Agreement with Kopin Corporation, operational staffing and support requirements, as well as the timing and amount of future revenue and product costs. Our business is capital-intensive, and future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including our growth rate, the timing and extent of spending to support development efforts, the results of our strategic initiatives, the timing of new product introductions and the continuing market acceptance of our products and services. We are working to control expenses and deploy our capital in the most efficient manner.
We are evaluating other options for the strategic deployment of capital beyond our ongoing strategic initiatives. We anticipate being opportunistic with our capital, and we intend to explore potential partnerships and acquisitions that could be synergistic with our competitive stance in the market.
We are subject to a number of risks similar to those of earlier stage commercial companies, including dependence on key individuals and products, the difficulties inherent in the development of a commercial market, the potential need to obtain additional capital, and competition from larger companies, other technology companies and other technologies. Based on the foregoing, and taking into account the additional liquidity generated by the financing transactions completed subsequent to March 31, 2026, management believes that the existing cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities will be sufficient to fund operations for at least the next twelve months following the date of this report.
Series H-7 Preferred Stock
On August 7, 2023, the Company entered into the Series H-7 Purchase Agreement with certain accredited investors (the "Series H-7 Investors"), pursuant to which it agreed to sell to the Series H-7 Investors (i) an aggregate of 22,000 Series H-7 Preferred Stock with a stated value of $1,000 per share, initially convertible into up to 171,875 shares of the Company's common stock at an initial conversion price of $128.00 per share, and (ii) warrants ("Series H-7 Warrants") initially exercisable for up to an aggregate of 171,875 shares of common stock.

On September 8, 2025, the Company filed the Series I Registration Statement with the SEC and subsequently amended the Series I Registration Statement on October 10, 2025 and December 19, 2025. The Series I Registration Statement was declared effective by the SEC on January 9, 2026.
The terms of the Series I Preferred Stock are as set forth in the form of Certificate of Designations of the Series I Convertible Preferred Stock ("Series I Certificate of Designations") which was filed with the Secretary of State for the State of Delaware on August 6, 2025.

Summary of Cash Flows
The following table summarizes our cash flows:
| For the Three Months Ended March 31, | ||||||||
| 2026 | 2025 | |||||||
| Cash Flows: | ||||||||
| Net cash used in operating activities | $ | (1,095,447 | ) | $ | (1,476,150 | ) | ||
| Net cash provided by (used in) investing activities | $ | (218,982 | ) | $ | 1,749,462 | |||
| Net cash used in financing activities | $ | (403,531 | ) | $ | (3,545,971 | ) | ||
Operating Activities
During the three months ended March 31, 2026, we used $1,095,447 in cash from operating activities, a decrease in use of $380,703 compared to the cash used in operating activities of $1,476,150 during the same period in 2025.
The decrease in cash used in operating activities was primarily driven by an improvement in operating results, as net loss after non-cash adjustments decreased by $692,532 to $1,158,157 for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to $1,850,689 for the same period in 2025. This improvement was primarily attributable to non-cash expenses recognized during the current period, including $611,468 of stock-based compensation and $613,663 of unrealized loss on digital assets, which were not present in the prior year period.
Changes in working capital also contributed to the decrease in cash used in operating activities. Cash used related to accounts payable decreased by $107,608 to $97,898 for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to $205,506 in the prior year period, primarily reflecting lower operating expenses and improved expense management. These improvements were partially offset by a decrease in cash provided by prepaid expenses and other current assets, which declined by $489,300 to $156,225 for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to $645,525 in the same period in 2025.
Investing Activities
During the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company had $218,982 in cash used in investing activities as compared to $1,749,462 of cash provided by investing activities during the same period in 2025, a decrease of $1,968,444.
The change was primarily driven by lower levels of activity in marketable securities during the current period. During the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company invested $2,956,466 in marketable securities and received $2,737,484 in proceeds from sales of such securities, compared to $16,350,538 of purchases and $18,100,000 of proceeds during the same period in 2025.
Financing Activities
During the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company used cash of $403,531 in financing activities as compared to $3,545,971 cash used in financing activities for the same period in 2025, a decrease of $3,142,440.
The decrease in cash used was due to lower cash outflows related to redemptions of the Company's Series H-7 Preferred Stock and Series I Preferred Stock during the current period.
Known Trends, Events, and Uncertainties
The emergence and effects of public health crises, such as pandemics and epidemics, along with geopolitical conflicts, including the consequences of the ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine and between Israel and various factors in the Middle East, including related sanctions and countermeasures, are difficult to predict, and could adversely impact geopolitical and macroeconomic conditions, the global economy, and contribute to increased market volatility, which may in turn adversely affect our business and operations.
In April 2026, the Company commenced a strategic transition toward a new business model focused on the design and development of fabless semiconductor technologies for AI data center infrastructure, including MicroLED-based optical interconnects. The Company's ability to successfully execute this strategy is subject to significant uncertainties, including its ability to successfully develop and commercialize the Neural I/o™ chip, its dependence on Kopin Corporation for key technology and manufacturing capabilities, competition from established semiconductor companies with substantially greater resources, the evolving regulatory landscape for AI technologies and semiconductor exports, and the Company's ability to raise sufficient capital to fund development activities. The semiconductor industry is characterized by rapid technological change, and there can be no assurance that the Company's products, if successfully developed, will achieve market acceptance or generate revenue sufficient to sustain operations.
Other than as discussed above and elsewhere in this report, we are not aware of any trends, events or uncertainties that are likely to have a material effect on our financial condition.
Critical Accounting Estimates
Our management's discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP. The preparation of our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures requires us to make estimates, assumptions and judgments that affect the reported amount of assets, liabilities, revenue, costs and expenses and related disclosures. We base our assumptions, estimates and judgments on historical experience, current trends, and other factors that management believes to be relevant at the time our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared. Accordingly, we evaluate our estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis. Our actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions and conditions.
We consider an accounting estimate to be critical if: (1) the accounting estimate requires us to make assumptions about matters that were highly uncertain at the time the accounting estimate was made, and (2) changes in the estimate that are reasonably likely to occur from period to period, or use of different estimates that we reasonably could have used in the current period, would have a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations.
Our critical accounting estimates have not changed materially from those previously reported in our Form 10-K.
