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.
